《Chronicles of The Magical Sword Sovereign》 Prologue A handsome middle-aged man in clean white robes with a sword in each hand was standing in endless space while in front of him was a large crack in space through which a massive army of hideous creatures was coming. At the head of this army was a giant with four arms, each of which was wielding a large double-bladed axe. The giant spoke in a booming voice which caused the void to shudder; ''''We cracked the universal barrierto enter this universe. Advance! Slaughter them all! Make this universe suitable for our Devil race''''. The entire army let an earth shattering roar. The giant looked at the man who had a golden eye giving off a mysterious glow and spoke ¡°You must be a native of this realm, barbarian!''''. The middle-aged man raised one of his swords ignoring the giant and slashed towards the incoming army causing the void to shatter. The face of the giant changed when he saw this attack and tried to block it but the golden sword light killed him and the army. He spoke towards the crack in an angry voice; ''''BEGONE YOU WRETCHES!!''''. Another sinister sounding voice came through the crack which said, ''''Never thought there would be someone in this isolated realm who had reached such level of strength, but it''s all useless. You cannot stop us'''', after which a man in black robes with a tail and three horns on his head stepped through the crack emitting ripples as powerful as the middle-aged man. Behind him came 12 more people with the same strength as the black robed man. The black robed man said, ''''We are the army commanders of the 5th Heaven devil army under our supreme Heavenly Devil God Asakku'''' the middle aged man looked at the crack though which another man came out. He had handsome features and looked no different from humans. After seeing him the 13 commanders knelt down and said: ¡°Greetings your highness!¡± He looked towards the middle aged man and said ''''puny barbarian kneel and I shall consider making you my slave since you have decent strength¡¯. The middle aged man said nothing as his grip on his swords tightened; as he rushed towards the devils, there was an enormous blast which cracked the surrounding void as the 14 devils fought the middle aged man. The fight lasted a quarter of an hour in which 2 of the weaker commanders got slain while the middle aged man lost an arm and suffered serious injuries, but his eyes did not lose their glow. He continued to fight. As the fight continued, he found an opportunity to wound the black-robed man and as he was about to kill him a palm came from the void and took the black robed man away. The man looked towards the crack and laughed as he burned his origin and attacked the crack. His body started scattering into motes of light as he said in a voice containing grief; ''''I was not able to protect or avenge you, but I shall at least protect my home and give this bastard a blow that he cannot recover from easily and join you to give you company my wife Alicia''''! The remaining 11 Devils frantically rushed towards the crack to block the attack but as they were about to reach it they were shackled in their place. The devils looked towards the man, as the prince said in a trembling voice '''' that eye, how could it appear here...'''' but before he could complete it the crack was shut. At this point a heaven shaking bellow filled with irrepressible rage was heard outside the crack in the void saying '''' I SHALL RETURN TO DESTROY THIS UNIVERSE ''''. The middle aged man had a smile on his face as he heard this. He looked at his swords that had broken into fragments, gathered them together and reformed them using his remaining power as they returned to his body and went into his golden eye.His body then dispersed completely. Outside in the void a voice filled with fear and weakness was heard ''''How could it be that eye it should have...'''' it could not finish as the person speaking fell into a deep slumber as he too was pulled into the seal. It was the person who saved the black robed man.The only thing left was a golden eye which then formed a hole in space and started drifting in space time....Stolen novel; please report. Drake Astorius And Contract In a beautiful night, sky illuminated by the twin moons Astia and Aurora. In a forest, a large number of black cloaked figures could be seen chasing a couple; it was a young man and a woman carrying a baby girl. The man stopped and unsheathed the sabre from his waist and said to his wife "Run ahead, I will hold them back" and without waiting for her reply dashed towards their pursuers and attacked. As fiery lightning started covering his sabre as he slashed it. ''''9 Thunder style - First slash, flashing Thunder''''! A sabre beam slashed towards the pursuers. ''''Weak aren''t you a bit too weak Grand Duke Leo Bernard" the leader of the pursuers spoke as he blocked it with his palm. He then struck out towards the escaping wife as the duke cried ''''noooooo!!!'''' there was a huge blast as dust and smoke blew where the wife of the duke was. As the dust cleared an old man in hemp clothes with a baby in hand was seen and behind him were the duke''s wife and daughter completely unharmed. The old man had the aura of a refined scholar and did not have any magic or qi fluctuations. The leader of the pursuers was stunned, as he was aware of the strength of the attack he had just launched and noticing no power fluctuation from the old man and became wary of him. He sized up the old man before him and asked in a respectful tone- ''''Who might you be sir?'''' The old man replied in a mocking tone ''''Aren''t you quite the shameless one attacking women and infants?" The leader said in a wary tone; ''''Sir, it would be in your best interest not to interfere in the affairs of the Azuria Empire''''. The old man ignored the assassin leader and tossed a bottle towards the duke and said, ''''Drink it'''' The duke had a questioning gaze as he looked at the bottle filled with a greenish liquid. Still drank it. It had a bitter taste as it slid down his mouth he felt the poison within him get purified and the wounds healing. The duke then and thanked the old man and walked over to his wife and daughter. The old man then launched a palm strike that looked completely ordinary towards the assassins and the leader sending them flying just as a kite with its string cut and fell to the ground unconscious. The duke was stunned by this display of strength and thought '''' There are very few people with such strength in the empire and most of them have high positions and that medicine earlier was also not ordinary. I need to think of a way to thank him while forming a good relation with him it will be beneficial for the empire and the house''''This tale has been unlawfully lifted without the author''s consent.

The old man turned towards the duke and said "It seems I am not required here anymore'''' as he looked towards the southern sky where the faint outline of a flying beast could be seen approaching the location quickly. As the old man was about to leave the duke hurriedly said ''''wait''''. ''''Sir may I know who you are'''' The old man replied '''' just a physician''''. ''''Sir my name is Leo Bernard and I am a grand duke of the Crestia empire. I would like to invite you over to "Sorry I am busy right now I need to find some food for my grandson here'''' The wife got up, said ''''Sir I have some porridge which I stored for my daughter'''' as she said that she had already taken a container from her waist pouch, and gave it to the old man. The woman looked towards the cute little infant with multicoloured eyes and asked'''' Sir what is his name?''''. The old man answered in a voice filled with vigour- "His name is Drake Astorius." The lady said "that is a very nice name my name is Emma Bernard and my daughter''s name is Sophia'''' The duke looked as if he suddenly had an idea and said '''' Sir why not engage my daughter to your grandson as soon as they become of age they can be married it can also be considered as our family showing our gratitude for your help" At this the old man went into deep thought while looking at the infant in his hand and then said ''''OK'''' then gave a storage pouch to the lady and said " it contains a few medicines to nurture your daughter''s body and increase her talent and the way to use them. I will leave now. He will come and find you with this scroll" as the old man wrote the engagement terms on the beast skin scroll and created a copy of it on another scroll and gave it to the duke and jumped up and disappeared with the infant while his voice rang in the wind ''''take care''''. while the lady was standing with shaking hands while looking into the storage pouch as it was a rare spatial storage item while the item itself was rare what it contained was astonishingly valuable. While thinking whether a frightening genius was about to appear on the continent. as soon as the old man left an enormous griffon with many soldiers and magicians on it landed and started capturing the assassins while the leader of the group an old man with fiery red hair and beard with a muscular body rushed towards the duke and his wife and asked in a worried and voice ''''HOW IS LITTLE SOPHIE??" While the duke and his wife just smiled wryly at this. Then turned towards the soldiers and ordered them in an authoritative and booming voice "Interrogate these and then execute them". And then turned towards the duke and asked him about the events that took place here while the duke explained the course of events the old man kept making funny faces and playing with the baby when the duke reached the part about the marriage the old man who had a smiling face suddenly became frozen and his face contorted in anger as he roared at the duke while pointing his fingers which were shaking in anger "I do not acknowledge this yo¡­ you cannot take my granddaughter away from me!! Awakening Arcuz town, Extreme north, Crestia Empire, Aldaria calendar year- 1530, 4th of the month of goblins. A handsome 5-year-old boy with raven black and heterochromatic eyes was sitting in front of an old man in hemp clothes while holding a crystal ball. The crystal ball started flickering with multiple lights and some words appeared on it - Talent Grade - undetermined The old man looked at the crystal ball with a stunned face and sighed while the boy looked to be on the verge of crying as he asked in a sniffling voice ¡°Grandpa how is my talent can I become a warrior?¡± The old man replied in a tender way ¡°Drake you will have to work hard to become one and must learn everything I teach you¡±. ¡°Grandpa, I will learn everything you teach properly and become a warrior.¡¯¡¯ ¡°I want to become like the man in my dreams who destroyed armies with a wave of his sword and shifted the heavens with his magic.¡¯¡¯ The old man went into thought ¡°This kid has always been very quick in learning things but he always mention these dreams I hope he is not who i think he is if he is then his life will not be easy¡­¡¯¡¯ After snapped out of these thoughts he said to Drake ¡°from tomorrow I will begin your training. By the way, has your left eye started getting its vision back? ¡± ¡°I am able to see a little now¡¯¡¯ ¡®¡¯Ok then now run to the towns mercenary guild and bring me these herbs on the prescription¡¯¡¯ Drake caught the prescription and started running towards the town while looking through the list. While thinking ¡°just why did grandpa have to build the house outside the town gates in the forest?¡± Soon a huge wall with a gate came into view the guards waved towards drake and said ¡°here for errands eh drake ¡¯¡¯. Drake just nodded and continued rushing towards the guild. While all sorts of people greeted him. From merchants, commoners to mercenaries. As his grandpa was very well known for his ability to treat patients. Soon a tavern like multi floored building came into view with a board on which mercenary guild was written in bold red paint. As he entered the building, and bought the herbs, he was pricked by a thorn from one of the herbs and a tiny drop of blood fell on to the black gem on his necklace, after licking his finger he started running back to the house just as he was halfway to the house he tripped and fell down. And the necklace with a gem attached to it that was worn by him fell off from his neck to the ground.This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it. He went to pick it up and noticed that it had started glowing in a chaotic light and then there was a flash of light which engulfed Drake within it. A majestic voice soon sounded in his head- ¡°All conquering sovereign descends The bearer of the eye of primal chaos Empires subdued, Hell trampled, heavens conquered Wheel of destiny hates the bearer the ancient devils tremble with the advent of the Shura¡­.¡± After the voice faded. Drake started writhing in agony as his whole body was wrecked in pain as he felt his blood boil. The skies darkened as lightning started flickering in the skies But Drake was not aware of this as he had already lost consciousness as his body started oozing black colored sweat. An old man appeared where Drake was as he watched these changes as he murmured ¡®¡¯So it is finally awakening.¡¯¡¯ The old man then waved his arm as some materials appeared in front of him after which he started forming hand seals while the materials started turning into liquid and forming a magic formation which concealed all the changes that were taking place and limited them. These changes were witnessed by many people in the town of arcuz. As mercenaries started to investigate this phenomenon thinking that some sort of treasure had appeared in the Extreme North Demon Forest. After the changes taking place in Drake got over he picked up the unconscious Drake and disappeared from that place. ¡­. ¡­. Deep in the night drake woke up and saw a familiar ceiling as he head his grandpas voice reprimanding him¡¯¡¯ What were you doing sleeping in the middle of the road I was so worried It was fortunate that I was coincidentally coming towards the village to buy some wine.¡¯¡¯ Drake was still confused as he found many abstruse and unknown things added to his memory. And felt his surroundings to be especially clearer he felt his sense and perception to be so strong that he could hear a fly flapping its wings and see an ant crawling 10m away. His grandpa said while looking at the confused Drake ¡®¡¯ Well kid you just got your left eye vision back so get some sleep from tomorrow onwards I will pass down my knowledge and start teaching you about how to fight.¡± The next morning drake was woken up by his grandfather as his days of learning and training began he learned about medicine and worldly knowledge in the morning which was the easiest for him as he could just memorize everything just by listening or reading it once once or twice. He was then made to do physical excersise to strengthen his body and create a strong foundation. His grandfather was merciless when it came to training and drake would always be wracked with pain as his grandfather used medicinal concoctions to make him fitter which caused him immense pains causing drake to continously scream. But he bore with this which was what made drakes will strong but if you ever asked him whether he liked training with his grandpa his face would go white while his body would not stop shaking. In the future Drake would look back in his life and remember these days as these were what paved his way to becoming a great warrior. 7 Years Later and the Primal Chaos Scripture Aldaria calendar year- 1537, 3rd of the month of Elves. A 13 year old young boy was running with a huge rock thrice as big as him while sweating heavily. This young man was drake who had been training with his grandpa for the past 7 years. Though the body was slender it was still well built and sturdy as it could be seen that each of his muscles could explode with great power. Half an hour later¡­ The boy dropped the rock. ¡®¡¯huff haaaaah, finally done with the foundational training I can finally start practising Dou qi¡¯¡¯ as he looked in front of him on the rock where his grandpa usually sat, instead of his grandpa there was a letter with a white ring. He picked up the letter and the ring. As he was about to open the letter he had a bad premonition but he still opened it and started reading. It was his grandfather Rio Lights handwriting it was bold and had a scholarly feel to it. The letter said- ¡°Drake by the time you are reading the letter I would already be gone. I have nothing more to teach you as you have already mastered the basics and will now be able to survive on your own. I have left all that you might need in the spatial ring bind it with blood and do not let others see it as it could attract greedy eyes. I built a foundation for your future training. I will now tell you a little about yourself I am not your real grandfather I found you drifting in a river in a basket with the name drake Astorius on it and the crystal that hangs on your neck. I do not know your origins maybe you could search for your parents when you grow stronger my advice would be to not look for them until you are strong enough as your origins are not ordinary and the most important advice I would give would be to temper yourself well be cautious and if you make enemies be ruthless in eliminating them if the enmity cannot be quelled as being kind to your enemies is the same as being cruel to yourself , your friends and family. I did not teach you any training technique as they are already present in your own self merely they are sealed in your memories as I had done it to protect you from going crazy they will automatically open when you bind the ring. That ring is my symbol; its name is the Apollo ring. We might meet again if fate decrees it. Your grandpa Rio light¡¯¡¯ Drake was shocked and suddenly felt lonely and alone in the world as he started rushing towards the cottage he and his grandfather used to live in and found it devoid of things other than his own and started frantically searching for him everywhere even going to the town and asking but he got no news and became depressed. It was already night as the sky was glittered wit stars as drake sat on the chair his grandfather used to sit and read in the courtyard and looked at the ring in his hand as he pricked his finger and dropped some blood on it there was a short glow on the ring and the blood was absorbed into the ring drake felt a connection with the ring as he was about to look into the ring he felt a sudden pain in his head as he felt new things added to his memory he was familiar with these as he had already seen them once when he was 6 years old. As he tried to look though them he felt a piercing pain in his left eye as he lost consciousness.The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there. Drake had a dream in which he saw nothing but an egg soon the egg cracked from it a boy with three eyes was born with the third eye in the middle being vertical on his forehead it was golden. The boy looked all around him and felt lonely hence he tried creating things he created the elements , space , time and the myriad realms even after creating those he felt lonely and in his loneliness he self exploded and his left over body parts became the seeds of life in the realms he created while his remnant egg shells formed a book the only thing left of the boy was the golden eye which just sealed itself in a space and was found by a wounded teenager and merged with him the teenager started training as a warrior and became a warrior but died in battle Drake saw many such memories finally at the end of it all he saw two orbs of light one glowing golden and the other in a dark light he moved closer to them and tried to touch them. As soon as he touched them both the lights entered his body and formed a tattoo which looked like swords on the back of his right and left palms with his right being golden and the left being dark. Then he heard an ancient voice saying- ¡®¡¯FIRST CAME CHAOS THEN CAME THE CREATION TIME AND SPACE CAME FIRST THEN CAME THE ELEMENTS THE FIRST SCRIPTURE TO EXIST SINCE BEFORE CHAOS PEERLESS, SUPREME AND ALL ENCOMPASSING THE PRIMAL CHAOS SCRIPTURE¡­..¡¯¡¯ By the time drake woke up from his unconsciousness it was already morning. When he woke up he found that his body was covered with filth so he immediately ran towards the pond behind the cottage and jumped into it one he got out of the pond and looked at his own skin he found that it had become smooth and supple like a baby¡¯s while being strong and flexible. Drake then looked at his palms and found the sword tattoos as he murmured to himself ¡®¡¯so it wasn¡¯t a dream as he felt the tattoos he saw two sheathed swords appear in his hands with the scabbards being white and black respectively both of them were illuminated in their respective glows. Both of the swords had the same appearance structure and shape wise their hilts both had their names imprinted on them being Genesis and Destruction respectively they had broad hilts and as he held them in his hand heard a voice in his head calling the swords as the swords of primal chaos. He found that he could put away and take the swords with a thought. He then held the hilt of genesis and pulled it out of the sheath the clamps which held it in its sheath opened to the side the sword was pulled out the blade the middle of the blade had mysterious runes engraved on it and the blade was bluish gold in colour he also tried slashing it at a tree it was cut cleanly in half he held the sword in front of his face while sliding his finger across it he then sheathed the sword. And ran many other tests and found that he could control the size of the swords making them as small as daggers at will. After doing all this he finally put away the swords and looked through his memories and found the primal chaos scripture imprinted in his mind and started looking through it he became deeply immersed in studying the scripture and fell into a profound state and lost all sense of time. This was the training method drake was to use to enter the path of becoming a warrior. Opening the spatial ring Drake woke up from his enlightened state and noticed that his body was once again covered with filth and hurriedly jumped into the pond once more and washed himself. After coming out of the water he felt refreshed and noticed that his body had grown stronger than before and felt thin stream of energy circulating in his body and was surprised as he hurriedly sat down and tried to circulate it according to the primal chaos scripture. He felt the force increase and felt the force started tempering his skin. Drake had started on the path of a warrior and had entered the first stage of body tempering. The body tempering stage was the first stage to become a warrior or a mage it was divided into 9 stages. After a few more rounds of training he got up and looked at the spatial ring on his finger as he sent some force to look inside the ring. There was a 300 sq m large space inside it which was considered quite bit inside it he found training manuals for warriors and mages as well as books on medicine and herbs it also contained a variety of clothes and about 10,000 gold coins which was a large sum of money as he looked through the stuff he saw a wooden box he pulled it out of the ring. As he looked at the box it was 3 m in height and 5 m in width and length. He opened the box and found an ancient book titled ¡®¡¯Medicine God Index¡¯¡¯ and beside ii there were two envelopes one which was fairly old and the other looked new he picked up and opened the old one and found a contract which looked quite old and was dumbfounded to find that it was a marriage agreement between him and the daughter of the Grand Duke of Crestia Empire. After overcoming the shock he put it back in the envelope and opened the second one after opening it a familiar handwriting of his grandfather. He started reading it - ¡®¡¯Drake you must have reached the first stage and generated force if you are reading this and you must be already 15 yrs old you have a fiance you should head to the capital of crestia empire and join the Druaga academy of magic when you are 18 and show them this ring and you will be allowed to take the entrance test well kid it¡¯s up to you to how you live I hope to see a great grandson the next time we meet. Rio light¡¯¡¯ Drake became confused in the begening then embarrased after reading the last sentence as he was not fifteen yet but soon put it at the back of his mind and started thinking about what to do next. He decided to continue training in the forest for the next 1 and a half years and study swordsmanship. And studying the books left by his grandpa.Unauthorized use: this story is on Amazon without permission from the author. Report any sightings. With his goal set he immediately started going through the books his grandpa left him what he didn¡¯t know was that these books that he was reading were priceless and would cause people to kill to acquire. As it came close to night he started training his force he noticed that his force was not like it was described by his grandpa force was supposed to be colourless in the first stage whereas his force had a chaotic mix of colours as it kept flashing different lights before becoming colourless then he remembered the scripture which said all encompassing and started going through the method to train the first stage of the scripture- In the first stage he had to plant a seed of chaos in the centre of his chest and nurture it. Drake started going through the method to do it. He planned to first plant the seed and then join the mercenary guild and carry out missions in the wilderness .He took a deep breath sat cross-legged and made a hand seal as he felt the natural energy gush into him and start congregating in his chest area and form a an orb. As soon as the orb was formed drake felt a piercing pain in his chest as more and more energy gathered and started being absorbed by the orb as it started growing Drake started to panic as he lost control of the orb. He could only clench his teeth and bear the pain with which he was wracked, an hour later he felt the suction reduce and the pain subsided and a comfortable feeling spread through his body. He got up as his joints made cracking sounds he clenched his fist and punched the air as it made a swishing sound. He felt the force circulate in his body as it kept nourishing his skin and tempering it. He then let out turbid air from his mouth and started looking through the spatial ring and found a thick book titled basic body techniques it looked quite old looking at the book drake thought ¡®¡¯why are all the books that grandpa owns so old and ancient looking well I should start training¡¯¡¯ he started reading the first page- ¡®¡¯The greatest weapon of any race is the body. With the will as the base any body part can become a killer weapon. Flexibility, reaction and speed being most important while instinct guides it foundation for all techniques begins with the body¡­..¡¯¡¯ After reading the first page he closed his eyes and started pondering their meaning while he was pondering over these words he failed to notice the book start floating and becoming motes of light which started entering his body when he felt this and opened his eyes it had already gotten over he got many body movement and fighting skills imprinted in his mind and suddenly felt a bout of drowsiness as he went back to his house and fell asleep. ¡­¡­. ¡­¡­. In the morning a figure could be seen flashing in the forest as it shuttled quickly this figure was drake that was practicing the movement techniques mentioned in the book. It turned out that the training books his grandpa had left behind were enchanted books which would directly imprint the knowledge and the experience onto the reader which was the reason Drake could use the movement techniques mentioned in the book. After practice he had emptied his house and kept all the things in his spatial ring he then took out set of black coloured clothes which came with a cloak with a head cover which would allow for easy movement during combat and be comfortable while travelling and wore it while sliding the necklace under his collar and then turned and started going towards the town, The wheels of destiny began to turn as the advent of the god of creation came closer Mercenary A young man dressed in black who looked about 15 years old entered the building. Building was noisy with the smell of alcohol in prevalent in the air. He walked towards the back of the bar which had a door with a board on which guild office was written. He felt gazes upon him as soon as he entered which were sizing him up. They looked neat and tidy with a long counter with 5 receptionist s sitting behind it. Walked up to one of them, Drake walked over to one of the empty counters and said to them ¡¯¡¯I want to register myself as a mercenary¡¯¡¯. The lady gave him a green coloured card which had a metallic sheen to it. And told him to drip some blood on it. As soon as Drake had done that the lady said- ¡®¡¯That card is now bound to you and cannot be used by anyone else it will show you your rank and will be your proof of being a mercenary. I will now tell the rules-
  1. You can undertake all forms of missions from herb gathering, treasure hunting, exploration to magical beast hunting and bandit

Drake was looking at the guild card while searching for missions he found quite a few subjugation missions and herb gathering missions which looked fairly simple. The subjugation quest was for hunting dire wolves a low class magic beast. And to search for Rusoc grass. This was a commonly found herb which had many uses in healing and medical treatment mercenaries usually carried some with them when on missions. He was very good at identifying and finding herbs and would be able to find the best quality rusoc grass. He went to the market and quickly bought a map. He was a little excited due to it being his first mission and first time in combat. He quickly exited the town and looked at his waist as both the daggers turned into swords. The book that he had learned had another name which would be known by drake only in the future. It allowed him gain understanding of his body and also allowed him to create his own techniques which would evolve as he got stronger. He planned to create his own sword technique through combat. This task was not an easy one since what he was planning to a dual wielding style. But compared to others he would have an easier time since the most important ability to be able to dual wield was to be able to split his attention into two and accomplish two different tasks at the same time which he was able to do due to the strict training by his grandfather.The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation. While thinking all this he had already reached the outskirts of the Hekkalion Mountain Range. He took a deep breath before putting on his cloak and started rushing into the mountain range. The next 1 and a half years¡¯ drake was planning to complete missions in this range while at the same time training . He first searched for a place where there was thick natural energy. He found a small valley surrounded on all sides where many low level magical beast roars could be heard and also found many different herbs in this valley. He found a cave near a cliff and planned to create his temporary base here. The cave did not have a large opening it was just enough for two people enter. He first found a rock which he then started to carve into an exactly fitting door with which he covered the entrance the cave was quite large he then carved a stone bed and a table it turned into a habitable place. He then fixed glow stones which were quite cheap to make a well lit. After doing all this he checked his gear and went out to fight. He searched for a few hours and finally found a dire wolf which was alone since most of them stayed in packs of hundreds and it was quite difficult to fight a pack until and unless a person was in the channel connection stage the second stage in warrior training. He observed the wolf from 10 m away as he slowly started closing in for the kill. He quickly rushed towards the wolf with his swords out but the wolf noticed him and dodged. It then pounced towards him Drake felt his blood rushing through his veins as he looked at the wolf pouncing over his left eye gave a golden glow as he felt as if the world slowed down he could see every movement of the wolf in slow motion as he took a step to the left. Even though he stepped to the left he was a bit slow as one of the claws still hit his arm and left a few scratches. He hissed with pain as he finally became a bit more alert the lift turned and started circling him. Looking at the wolf he took a deep breath and sheathed both his swords and held the hilt of destruction still in his sheath he looked at the wolf with eyes full of battle intent as he took a sword drawing stance just like a samurai would while performing iai. The wolf looked at him with a malevolent gaze as it immediately pounced on him the world once again slowed down in Drakes eye as it pounced on him Drake unsheathed his sword in a quick draw and moved in behind the wolf. He sheathed the sword as the wolf fell behind him with a slit across its neck. Drake had an excited look in his eyes when he thought about this battle and the strange ability of the golden ye to slow down things. Then he remembered his situation and immediately stored the wolf¡¯s body and hurried away while applying some ointment on his wound. Soon after he left a pack of dire wolves appeared in the place. If Drake had not escaped he would have ended up as food for the wolves. After this battle drake noticed the inconsistencies in his movements and started training his control of his body and the sheathing and unsheathing of his swords in a quick manner. He set into a regular routine of hunting in the mornings while studying the medicine god index and collecting herbs in the afternoon and training the primal chaos scripture at night. The force in his body kept increasing as his body became stronger this regular routine would continue for six months and soon would be disrupted¡­. First fight 23 rd Day of the Month of the War Sovereign, 1537. Drake was almost 190 cm with his well toned body and had an added matured look to his face due to frequent life and death fights. He had already come to the 4th stage of body tempering. His training as a warrior was progressing well while his swords style had made very little progress which caused him to feel depressed. The orb which was in his chest had hardly any changes except it having grown a little bit. His training in close combat and sword had improved considerably though. While his ability to control the slow vision had improved and he was able to use it for a longer amount of time. Before after an hour of use he would feel tired. Now he was able to use it for almost 3 hours. He had been living in the forest for the past 6 months and was familiar with the entire valley by now even though it was only the outskirts the danger he faced was not low. Once while he was picking rare fruit a high rank beast started chasing him. He almost lost his life in the chase even though he escaped it took him 20 days to recover from his injuries. He had killed hundreds of beasts and had become a veteran in hunting and surviving in wilderness he also assimilated all the memories in his consciousness that he had not done previously and gained a lot of knowledge about rare treasures beasts and some scattered martial techniques and tips for training. The most important record he gained was the sword art manuals in the martial techniques which he could infer from and improve his own swordsmanship. ¡­¡­. ¡­¡­. Drake was wandering the forest when he spotted a horned boar which was going to be his dinner warriors had huge appetites due to their body requiring more energy than normal people. He quickly climbed up the tree and started jumping on branches while concealing his presence as soon as he was above the boar he jumped while unsheathing his sword and penetrated the skull. ¡®¡¯Wow I was just about getting sick of eating dire wolf meat and brown snake meat¡¯¡¯ He waved his hand and stored he carcass in his storage ring. As he was about to leave he sensed the presence of three people 10 m away from him hiding in the bush and immediately became tense. The three men had seen him storing the body and remembered his grandpa¡¯s words about keeping the ring hidden. He turned and shouted- ¡®¡¯Come out I know you are hiding there¡¯¡¯ The three men came out of the bushes. ¡®¡¯Young man you did a nice job sensing us¡¯¡¯ The three men had a bloodthirsty aura around them and were armed the one in the middle was armed with a glaive and seemed to be the leader and was also the one who spoke. They had their faces covered. Which caused drake to be even more wary as his body immediately tensed and his mind became alert. He could feel that the men had killed before. He still maintained a composed look and asked them in a cold voice ¡¯¡¯who are you and why were you hiding¡¯¡¯.Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. The three men then gave a laugh as the leader said- ¡®¡¯Hand over everything you have on yourself including the spatial treasure you used to store the boar carcass and I might spare your life.¡¯¡¯ ¡®¡¯I refuse to give you anything if you want it come and get it¡¯¡¯ He immediately pulled out his swords and got ready for battle. The two men beside the leader took out their swords and lunged towards Drake. Drake immediately dodged one of them while kicking the other in the chest. The one who was kicked fell down while the one who had his attack dodged lost his balance. Drake slashed his sword at the man which cleanly beheaded him and immediately rushed towards the fallen man and priced him in the chest before he could get up. Watching them die the glaive wielding man immediately became enraged. ¡®¡¯You are courting death¡¯¡¯ He thrust his glaive which Drake barely dodged as a few strands of hair fell down. Drake then parried the glaive using his right sword and deflected it while slashing with his right which the man dodged and took some distance. Both of them stared at each other as the glaive wielding man said in a vicious voice ¡®¡¯ young man you shouldn¡¯t have killed them even though you possess some strength you are no match for me¡­¡¯¡¯ before he could finish Drake started rushing toward him. He slashed with genesis which was blocked by the man. Drakes left eye started glowing as he activated his ability and the world slowed down he could see every small movement made by the man and could think of counter moves for each of them he left the hilt of genesis and disrupted the man¡¯s balance as he held destruction with both hands and thrust it into the chest of the man some of the blood splashed on his face. As the man died with hatred in his eyes. After he pulled out the sword. Drake started throwing up. And felt extremely sick. The swords fell out of his hands as they started trembling. It was drake¡¯s first time killing people and he did not feel too good about it. He also felt surprised that he did not start puking after he had killed the first man. If he had done so he would undoubtedly dead. He took a deep breath before and calming himself down before going towards the bodies and searching them he first searched the two men and found a few potions which he directly threw into his ring and walked over to the glaive wielding man and picked up his glaive which looked like a enchanted weapon and had a reddish shine he put it away and found a black ring on the man¡¯s finger and immediately recognised it. It was a spatial ring. He picked it up and binded it to himself. And dashed away from the area. Drake found a black box in which he found a violet coloured peach and immediately became overjoyed it was a treasured fruit called the violet body fruit which was very beneficial for his training and would allow him to reach body tempering 6th stage immediately. He went back to his cave as it would soon be dark and went back to his cave. Half an hour after he left a group of men arrived at that seen and a ferocious looking middle aged man ran over towards the bodies and picked up the glaive wielding man¡¯s body and howled in rage as he shouted. ¡®¡¯IF I FIND THE BASTARD THAT KILLED MY SON I WILL FIND HIM AND CUT HIM INTO A THOUSAND PIECES AND FEED THEM TO THE PIGS¡¯¡¯ He then looked at the other two men as he told his men ¡®¡¯ sell the family of these dead idiots who could not even protect my son¡¯¡¯. Unaware of all this drake was leisurely checking his spoils. This was the only time he would be so relaxed as the hunt for him was about to begin. Chase The next day drake went out to hunt once more while trying to remove the queasy feeling he felt due to yesterday¡¯s incident. While hunting him had seen armed men constantly moving about anxiously while holding red medallions in their hands. While hunting he ran into two men holding the same medallion. As soon as the men saw drake the medallions started glowing. The both of them started whispering to each other. ¡®¡¯This is the guy who killed young master he seems to be quite young¡¯¡¯ The both of them shattered their medallions and immediately tried to stall Drake in this place until the others got to this place. They immediately unsheathed their weapons. Drake had already started preparing himself the moment the medallions shined since knew what they were. They were blood tracking medallions which tracked the person whose blood was marked on them. In this case the traces of blood left by the men he killed and their objects were what were helping them. The men were radiating killing intent as they quickly stabbed him with their weapons. Drake knew he had to finish things quickly as the other men would soon come to this spot he quickly used his eye ability and charged straight at them with his hand on Genesis and dodged their attacks and went behind them as he sheathed his sword. ¡®¡¯Infinite sword style- Quick Draw¡¯¡¯ Both the men fell down with their necks slit as blood splashed. He ran without looking back. He still felt very uncomfortable when killing people but he knew that mercy in battle would mean death when his opponents came at him with killing intent. Drake named his swords man ship infinite sword style as he referenced many different sword techniques to start creating his own even though it only had one move as of now it had huge potential of growth. Drake was escaping with all his might when he heard shuffling behind him as he found men chasing him with an old man at front. ¡®¡¯brat if you stop I will give you a painless death otherwise I will torture you until you regret being born¡¯¡¯Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on Royal Road. The old man was catching up to him and drake felt the strength of the man and knew he was definitely stronger than himself. He pushed himself harder and jumped off the branch he was on onto the ground after that he kicked off the tree on his left and shot for the area he had met the bear. It was as strong as a channel opened warrior or junior mage. He suddenly felt a chill on his back and tried to dodge but failed as an arrow hit him on the shoulder. Drake hissed¡¯¡¯hisssss~¡¯¡¯ in pain as he pulled out the arrow while running and threw it to the side but this incident allowed the old man to close up the distance and was only 10 m away from him. He soon saw the fruit tree and also the bear under it he rushed forward without hesitation as soon as he got closer he felt the bear wake up as it charged at him he dodged and continued towards the tree while the old man got entangled with the bear. Drake took the fruit which was golden in colour and rushed into the forest while taking out the space ring he got from the young man and removing everything in while he felt a little sad at losing the ring he still crushed it. As he did this the old man who was battling immediately sensed it and became immensely enraged and the bear was a little bit stronger than him and had injured him quite badly before he could kill it. He shouted toward the sky - ¡®¡¯brat no one has ever escaped from the red blood bandits, men seal up this entire area and kill anybody who tries to exit the forest¡¯¡¯ ¡®¡¯but sir we don¡¯t have enough man power we only have 50 men in our group¡¯¡¯ ¡®¡¯Then recruit more we recently got a good haul didn¡¯t we¡¯¡¯ ¡®¡¯Yes sir!!¡¯¡¯ they quickly set up camp. Drake was still running and only stopped after 10 kms he was sweating profusely and his face had become pale due to losing blood he removed his coat and quickly pulled out a vial of medicament he made in the cave and poured it onto his wound. He felt a burning sensation on his wound as his bleeding stopped. He thought ¡¯¡¯old man you just wait once I will send you to hell and repay what you have done to me it was your son that tried to kill me first¡¯¡¯ he felt the wound start closing up as he tried to move his force he as immediately surprised at the affect of his force to heal his injury. He then started looking at his surroundings and knew that he had entered the inner reaches of violent beast mountain range and in his condition he would not survive the night if he did not find shelter. He felt incredibly tired as he walked forward while using a branch as support he soon found a huge tree which had a hollow which could keep him away from the ground and hide him it was already twilight as he climbed the tree and sprinkled the beast repelling powder on the ground. He then made himself comfortable in the hollow. And immediately fell asleep due to exhaustion and fatigue. Battling and Killing The Oldman Sunlight filtered through the tree hole and fell onto a sleeping Drake. He drowsily opened his eyes while covering his face with his uninjured arm. ¡®¡¯Damn it this sure hurts, good thing I learned medicine from grandpa otherwise it would have got infected and even left hidden injuries which would affect my training¡¯¡¯ Drake analysed the wound and found it was already healing at a fast pace at this rate he would be fully healed in 3 days. Even though he knew his injuries healed quickly this was very surprising as it should have taken him longer to heal. After bandaging the wound he did not move in his current condition even the weakest of beasts could kill him. With nothing to do he looked at the Apollo ring with a longing gaze before tears welled up in his eyes as his thoughts drifted towards his grandpa- ¡®¡¯Grandpa I miss you where have you gone and why did you leave me I trained so hard I even got hurt badly and am being chased by bandits. Grandpa I don¡¯t know whether I will survive but I will not give up. I still remember your words- Drake always remember a person of a lower stage will not necessarily lose to higher stage . Depending on how you use that strength a person in body tempering stage is not necessarily unable to contend with someone in the warrior stage it is the belief that you cannot beat someone of a higher stage that will make you lose if you want to become a truly strong warrior have unwavering faith in yourself now start with swings once more¡­..¡¯¡¯ After snapping out of his thoughts he took out some dried rations and started eating. After that he sat down and started training by making a hand seal. He was in the 7th stage of body tempering. In this phase the person started tempering the bones and tendons to make them stronger and more tensile. It is a very painful process leading to people generally stopping after minimally tempering their bones as it took a long time to temper them unless some treasure fruit was used and directly condensing the force into aura and become warrior. As drake was not able to move for the next three days he started training while gritting his teeth. He trained for 3 hours before stopping to answer natures call. And then went to sleep once more. During this recovery period he did not go out for hunting or went far from the tree hole. Three days later, 28th the of the month of the war sovereign. Drake fully kitted out in his regular clothes with both is swords at his waist. He did a few simple stretches before taking out the violet body fruit and the golden fruit known as the Dragon Fruit. This fruit individually did not have an effect much different from violet body fruit. According to his grandpas teaching when both of them were consumed together their potency was multiplied and they had the additional property of boosting the 5 senses. He directly swallowed the both of them as the medical potency burst out and started spreading in the body most of it was absorbed by the bones which started getting a crystalline glow like white jade without any impurity. 2 hours later¡­.. Drake took some leaves and crushed and smeared the juice on his face and stuck leaves on his hood and clothes before climbing up the tree and started moving back the way he came he knew that it was the best chance for him to take revenge he moved in the shadows of the trees while trying to conceal his presence as best as possible. He heard voices ahead and found 5 men walking while talking to each other drake listened eagerly to find information about them.Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site. ¡®¡¯boss that bandit sure is generous in his rewards we just need to kill a brat and we get 5 gold each¡¯¡¯ ¡®¡¯shhhh. ¡­we cannot let this matter spread if someone finds out we cooperated with bandits we will be in deep trouble which we cannot escape from¡¯¡¯ Drake immediately understood that these men had been hired by that bandit. As they got closer he got ready to attack. He waited for them to pass him before coming behind them and attacking. Infinite Sword Style -Quick Draw He killed 4 of them quickly while the leader a man in his 40¡¯s barley dodged with cold sweat streaming down his face. Drake did not give him a chance to catch his breath and threw his sword at him and immediately swept his legs with a kick as the man was dodging the thrown sword. Drake succeeded and the man fell to the floor drake pulled out his other sword and shortened it to the length of a dagger. And held the man with the knife to the throat- ¡®¡¯now tell me all the information you know about your group and their current locations¡¯¡¯ The man being scared immediately answered all of drakes questions after which he started begging for his life. Drake just slid the dagger across his throat and killed him then hid their bodies in the bushes and cleaned up the traces of the battle. After getting to know their positions drake sneaked up to them and killed them it was a very challenging task as they were quite alert. He got closer to the camp. The camp was very empty except for a few tents and 2 men. Drake was lucky as he had come here when all the others were gone searching. The two men were guarding a tent in which Drake felt that that old man must be recuperating he quickly ran out of the bushes and threw one of the swords which he shortened into a dagger at one of them while killing the other with his sword with a slash across the chest. As Drake had guessed the old man rushed out he was bandaged in the chest. Brat I didn¡¯t think that you would hand yourself to me on a platter. He brandished his scimitar as he came rushing at drake, drakes left eye started flashing as the world slowed down his hands tightened on his swords as he took a defensive stance he had tempered his bones completely and his strength had also increased greatly he focused on the movements of the old. The old man move in a ghostly manner which made it hard to predict where he would strike but Drake was able to read him and was able to dodge the man¡¯s attacks nimbly while defending. Drake saw an opportunity and attacked with his right hand sword but it missed as the old man dodged to the side the old man slashed drake in the back which drake barely avoided but he still got a shallow slash across his back . He fell forward due to the pain controlled his fall and rolled on the ground but before he could get up the old man was above him. Drake blocked the mans scimitar with his swords and kicked the man in the stomach before getting up. Drake then moved towards the old man and the weapons of both of them started clashing with both of them getting cuts on their bodies. The old man was gradually being suppressed by drakes ever changing swift sword moves . Drake was getting worried as his body was covered in cuts as blood poured out of them and was feeling tired. He knew he had to finish this quickly. Hence he decided to trade injury for a kill he left an opening and allowed the old man¡¯s scimitar to pierce his shoulder while he with a ruthless glint in his eyes thrust his sword through the oldman''s neck. The old man could not even dodge and died while drake pulled out the scmitar and took out the storage ring off the old man¡¯s hand and used his sword to stand up. At this point he heard he heard other voices and footsteps rushing toward the area. Drake was injured and could only use his right arm minimally he turned and ran without hesitation. Astrea and hard fought battle ¡®¡¯Help¡¯¡¯ The faint voice of a girl was heard by Drake while he was walking away he turned around and found that the source of the sound was the tent in which the old man had been he went in and found a pretty young girl with azure hair and deep azure eyes was shackled with cuffs and a piece of cloth lying on the ground .She was wearing a blue coloured top with a matching white pleated skirt which just reached the knees and was wearing a pair of matching boots. The girl had an exquisite face and a nice body causing drake¡¯s heart to pound. He looked at her in a daze. The girl then asked in a - what are you doing they are coming closer ¡®¡¯ her voice broke drake out of his daze. He quickly used his sword and broke the shackles. Before holding his hurt shoulder and hissing he had lost quite a bit of blood. The girl got up and hurriedly supported him. She said ¡®¡¯thank you let¡¯s get away quickly they will be here any moment now.¡¯¡¯ Drake then asked her ¡®¡¯how did you get captured¡¯¡¯ ¡®¡¯Well my name is Astrea Kolster and I ran away from home due to them forcing me to study I hid on a carriage came to Arcuz. On the way the carriage on which I was there was attacked and was capture by them to be sold as a slave. I had only wanted to have some fun before going back to Lekmont good thing you rescued me from now on I will never try to run away from home it is very scary escort me back home and my family will reward you lets run quickly¡¯¡¯ Drake looked at her speechlessly as he was about to say some thing his gaze sharpened as he slashed his sword behind him and deflected a throwing knife. He immediately turned around while standing in front of astrea. A burly man with a scar in standard leather gear with a sword was standing there ¡®¡¯You are going nowhere you killed boss and plenty of our brothers we have to take revenge as for that pretty lady there I bet quite a few of my brothers had their eyes on her¡¯¡¯ Drake took a deep breath and said ¡®¡¯scram if you don¡¯t want get killed¡¯¡¯ ¡®¡¯Well kid you are quite strong but you are still injured can you fight all of us¡¯¡¯ behind him dozens of men came from the forest. Drake had a frosty expression on his face while Astrea had started clinging onto drake¡¯s coat with an anxious expression drake turned back and said ¡®¡¯run I will buy some time and then escape we will meet back at the mercenary guild¡¯¡¯ .The author''s narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. Girl looked at his back and said ¡®¡¯how will you buy time with that body you will get yourself killed I got you into this trouble I will not run away¡¯¡¯. Drake felt some warmth in his heart after hearing those words but still shouted at her in a loud and resolute voice ¡®¡¯ run away you will just get in the way¡¯¡¯ startled by the voice she grit her teeth before turning around and running into the forest towards the town. Drake heaved a sigh before using his sword to draw a line in front of him before saying you cross this line and you die. The bandits started running towards him drake did not stay still he ran ahead with both his swords as his left eye started glowing. Everything slowed down as he ran in front of the crowd and jumped and stepped on the leading man¡¯s face and somersaulting and landing in the middle of the crowd and killing one. His swords flashed as he fought each strike of his swords killed one. He dodged agilely but still got him in many places his upper clothes already become drenched in blood. His vision was also getting hazy due to the mace hit he suffered to his forehead. The bandits were also feeling scared as Drake had already killed 23 and injured many more. They were even more shocked due to his age he looked barely 16 or 17. But was much more experienced and ruthless in combat. Even drake was reaching his limit he was surrounded and covered in injuries. He was already taking heavy breaths. If not for his tenacity and determination he would have already collapsed. He was kneeling on one foot with the support of the sword. Even though they were seeing this the bandits dared not move and looked at drake as if they were looking at some monster. Drake got up but coughed some blood before wiping his face before taking a stance. The bandits overcame their fear and charged once more. ¡®¡¯My body feels heavy each and every movement causes enormous pain and my consciousness is becoming blurry as a sword was just about to hit his neck he felt his body start heating up as his body started heating up and a strange strength started filling his body a strange hazy golden image in the form of a dragonhead appeared on his forehead before disappearing quickly. Drake¡¯s eyes went red as he lifted his sword and slashing at the bandit in front of him the sword easily broke take the sword in the bandits hand and spilt the bandit in half from to bottom. And the force pushed the other bandits back. They looked at him with wary eyes but drake had already gone berserk as before the bandits could do anything he had already appeared in front of them in an instant and started slaughtering, limbs and heads flew and blood stained the ground red. The bandits had already lost the courage to fight and started running in every direction. Drake just kept slaughtering only one person with a missing arm escaped as he ran without turning back drake just fell down in that place. Before losing his consciousness the last thing he saw was a group of orderly men on horses and Astrea with tears in her eyes rushing toward him and catching him before everything went black. Fafnir and Divine Armament ¡®¡¯uh¡¯¡¯ Drake opened his eyes and saw an unfamiliar ceiling and found himself lying on a soft bed .when he tried to move his body he felt a lot of pain but he still got up and the first thing he looked for were his belongings which were lying on the bedside table with a relieved look on his face he held his shoulder while he slowly moved his battered body towards the window. He was fully bandaged up and a thick medicinal scent wafted in the air he could identify the medical herbs in the scent and felt his body condition and immediately knew that he had been treated by a very skilled and experienced physician. While he was doing this a girl with an oval face and gem like azure coloured eyes and a well developed body for her age was standing at the doorway of the room with a tray in her hands which had medicinal soup in it. Her eyes turned watery as she almost dropped the tray before remembering the contents of the soup. Drake turned around and saw Astrea. He said ¡®¡¯thank you¡¯¡¯ before slowly walking towards her and taking the soup and drinking it. After coming out of her daze astrea and hugged drake and started bawling. ¡®¡¯I thought you would not wake up uwahhh!!!¡¯¡¯ While drake was hissing in pain and his body was shaking. He could not even enjoy a beauty¡¯s hug due to the pain. At that time the voice of middle a woman rang out. She was wearing a housekeepers uniform and had greyish hair- ¡®¡¯young miss you should leave him he is hurt.¡¯¡¯ ¡®¡¯ I uh huh am sorry¡¯¡¯ She moved back with a flustered expression and a red face. Drake just waved it off. ¡®¡¯Young master you should rest you suffered heavy wounds¡¯¡¯ he nodded and closed His eyes as he meditated and the natural energy gathered towards him fixing his wounds. ¡­.. ¡­.. The housekeeper entered into a well lit study where a man of about 30 years with sharp eyebrow and an aquiline nose and a handsome face which was spoiled only by a scar on his left eye was standing. He was wearing noble warrior clothes and an aura of majesty was coming off of him. The man turned and asked the housekeeper- ¡®¡¯ how was that kid¡¯¡¯ ¡®¡¯he is recovering well but to be able fight that many bandits with just strength of a body tempering stage he even killed a warrior who had already generated force''''Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon. ¡®¡¯Is it? that kid has been blessed with a bloodline and has already awakened it even though only a little, he also has the aura of that eminent one ¡¯¡¯ ¡®¡¯Sire, are you planning to teach him¡¯¡¯ ¡®¡¯Yes, my daughter seems to trust him and you know about her ¡®¡¯Forbidden Heavenly Eyes¡¯¡¯ which are said to be able to see through everything nothing can be hidden or falsified in front of her; her potential is no less than that kids but she just refuses to train I just dont know what to do with her. She practically interacted with no one other than you or me. You know very well why I came to this place was to train my daughter and wait for the destind one; I have waited for past 300 years and the destind one has finally arrived. I hope she learns a lesson after this incident and becomes more docile.¡¯¡¯ His eyes then sharpened as he said in a strict voice- ¡®¡¯Get General Howard here oh and Marylyn take care of those kids ¡¯¡¯ Marylyn bowed in a respectful manner said- ¡®¡¯Yes sire ¡®.And left. The man sat on his desk and started working on the documents. ¡­. ¡­. While Drake was recalling the moment before he almost he died he remembered that the world seemed to have stopped as a voice spoke within him it was a voice which felt very familiar to him yet unfamiliar which just said - ¡®¡¯It''s time to awaken partner¡¯¡¯ Drake started feeling drowsy and his vision started getting blurry and fell asleep. ¡®¡¯Partner wake up¡¯¡¯ As Drake opened his eyes what he saw was not the ceiling instead he saw a large golden space filled with all kinds of treasures on top of them a huge golden dragon with wings was sitting. ¡®¡¯Well partner welcome¡¯¡¯ Drake with a confused expression asked him- ¡®¡¯Who are you? Where is this and why do you keep calling me partner?¡¯¡¯ ¡®¡¯Well i am dragon god Fafnir and as to why I call you partner is because your soul and my soul have been forcefully merged leading to the current situation just what the hell is that eye you posess i just thought that i found a good vessel to recuperate in to take revenge on those assholes who tricked me.¡¯¡¯ Drake just looked at Fafnir with a dumbfounded look on his face. ¡®¡¯Wipe that stunned look from your face basically I saved your life by lending you my last bit of strength by controlling your body if you were not able to handle it you would have died on the spot and I would also dissappear basically from now on me and you are one. well kid rejoice while I can only curse my fate. From now on you possess my soul and bloodline you better not reveal it if you don''t want to be chased and killed by my enemies¡¯¡¯ Drake after waking up from his shock after a while as he shouted as his face shivered at the thought of him losing his body- ''''Vessel? you tried to take over my body'''' '''' Kid i am not like those other fogies who try to posess a body just to live a bit longer i wanted use your primal force which is only present in infants to heal my soul then leave while leaving you a small fortune in the form of my bloodline but it turned into this ¡®¡¯Well yes kid nice to work with you well work hard and become stronger than me and you will run wild with me and ymirs eye who could stop us well I guess times up we will meet next time before that kid you have another bloodline in you it is a very strong one at that. become stronger with such a talented body you will practically become invincible if you ascend well you will face little trouble in training in magic with my soul fused with yours well do your best we will be together from now on.¡¯¡¯ ¡®¡¯Bye bye¡¯¡¯ ¡®¡¯Hey wait¡­¡¯¡¯ It was useless as the golden world faded from his view.
