“Oh! This city is big look at the entrance it is gigantic, so this is the city of Noria huh “

Lucius eyes were shining he never left the village, so when he saw this sort of huge place, he actually felt amazed.

“Kid this city to me is nothing extraordinary, in the future if you become strong you will see more shocking sceneries for now being a third rank warrior is considered good, but strength don’t mean anything when you are too soft, those bandits you killed were an example “Leyak remembered events from some time ago .

“I know master “Lucius answered

Two weeks ago,

Lucius was sitting on the very familiar rock meditating, he was strengthening his body by condensing energy in his muscles, actually the body of Lucius was several times tougher than normal humans, the reason?

The reason is that no normal human can open his fifty five meridians, usually even if there is a genius that opened the fifty five entrances it was at an older age, but with the help of Leyak, Lucius opened all of the meridians at the age of twelve, now he was at a single hair from breaking to the third level,

People will consider him a monster.

“Oh it’s here “Leyak said when waking up Lucius from the meditative state.

“Finally here huh now I can test my strength “Lucius said

Lucius and Leyak were talking about a magical beast, it’s a familiar one that they encountered, the azure cat, Lucius was preparing to battle an azure cat, leyak told him that a third level beats is a good challenge for a peak 2nd level warrior.

Lucius purposefully attracted the azure cat with some magical beast’s corpses.

Sfx(growl …)

The azure cat appeared from the dense vegetation, Lucius jumped from the rock directly confronting it, on his back his black sword, the look in his eyes was fierce.

“Okay come at me kitty!! “Lucius snorted

The azure cat seeing the human yelling was enraged, it leaped forward like the predator it is pouncing on Lucius, Lucius immediately withdrawn his black sword from his back and prepared to block.

Sfx (peng!!)

The black iron sword and the sharpened claws collided, due to the enormous strength of the cat Lucius was pushed back several meters, but gritting his teeth he remained standing, the azure cat was surprised, this human actually blocked its attack.

“Humph! Now it’s my turn beast “Lucius saying with confidence.

Being a 2nd level peak warrior his agility was raised by leaps and bounds, even his body was tougher than before, it was because of this that his body could take the attack of the azure cat, he shot toward the magical beast like lightening, the azure cat with its claw aimed at him, but Lucius dodged by jumping up, holding his sword with his two hands he aimed at the head, but the cat was not a dumb beast it immediately retreated a few steps to evade , Lucius predicted this and at the moment he touched the ground he executed some movements of the sword dance that Leyak taught him reaching below the azure cat within a breath , he raised his sword toward the jaw , the cat tried to dodge but it was too late ,the black sword pierced through the jaw directly penetrating the skull of the head , blood splattered and brain matter leaked out , it was an extremely brutal death , the body of the azure cat instantly collapsed on the floor .

“Oy brat you’re better than before, not bad “praised Leyak

“Thanks master! “

(This kid he is a fast learner) thought Leyak

Lucius without further delay extracted the magical core from the azure cat corpse, he also cut some meat because he learned that magical beast’s meat is rather delicious.

“Finally I can break through now with this magical core “Lucius exclaimed

Lucius quickly returned near his hut sat cross legged and ate the magical core, like always it was dissolved by the spiritual energy of Leyak soul , streams of energy escaped the stomach and swirled , Lucius redirected them to every cell of his body , the process was already familiar , the cultivation energy was quickly raised and directly broke through to the third level , every cell in Lucius body had undergone another transformation , they now had a faint green light wrapping around them , externally the wind calmed and the long hair of Lucius regained its previous state but something strange manifested when Lucius was still meditating , currents of black energy and green energy got mixed and swirled around him for short time .

“hahahaha the third layer the third layer !!!!”Lucius was so happy

(Hmmm? how come he has this blood what!!!!) Leyak was shocked by something when analyzing Lucius body.

(Impossible … impossible this kid he has demon blood in his veins!!!! How?? he was clearly human before but now he ….. Don’t tell me it awakened now? This kid if demons know of this matter he will immediately be killed) Leyak thoughts for the first time were in chaotic state.

“Kid I changed my mind on something, but first I need to tell you something important “

“Huh? What is it master?”

“Your current body transformed not externally but internally, you actually awakened Demon blood you are a mixed race between humans and demons “Leyak directly explained

“What!!!!? You’re kidding right? How is this possible?? Father and mother were obviously humans!!”

“Don’t panic brat!! it can only mean two things , first one is that your mother and father are not really your biological parents , and the second is that one of your near ancestors was a demon and mingled with humans “

Lucius was shocked, his parents are not real? He didn’t want to believe that, like this he became more and more confused.

“Hey what are you thinking deeply for, it’s only a possibility that they are not your parents, personally I opt for the second explanation “

Lucius hearing what Leyak told him, he became less panicked and soon regained his calm

“Right … right it must be an ancestor , uncle said that he was present when mother gave birth to me so it’s impossible “

Thinking logically he became more relaxed and relieved.

“Okay now let’s not talk of meaningless things, do you know the meaning of having demon blood kid?”

“No master, what can it change for me?”

“hahaha that you can master demon arts hahaha what a wonderful advantage , you can learn human techniques and demon techniques “

“But master that sword dance? “

“I know what you mean but that technique was a simple body technique no energy was involved “

Lucius now understood, if what Leyak says is true then he actually learns two kinds of techniques and manipulate two types of energy.

“Usually demon energy is black colored, and human energy is green colored, when you were meditating black energy intertwined with green energy, and your cells emits two types of lights now ,kid you are no longer a simple human “

Lucius was stupefied.

“Master you said that you will teach me a skill if I reach the third rank, now I’m a third rank what skill cans you teach me?”

“You’re surprisingly calm about this “

“Master I realized that it’s no use to keep thinking of things that I’m not sure about so I’d rather train an attain my goal first “

“Good thinking it’s the first time you say something actually good brat “

“Master are you making fun of me “ Lucius sensed the sarcasm of Leyak

“A little… “Leyak smiled

“Master!!!”

“Okay okay now let me see you materialize energy “

“yes!”

Lucius sat cross-legged and began to concentrate, seeing the faint green and black light in the depths of his body, he tried to take control and extract it outside, for a first time it was difficult but after repeating the process many times , Lucius succeeded .

Around of his body two streams of green and black energy were hovering near him

“good the first step is completed , now listen carefully to my words , the skill I’m going to teach you is called demonic sword wave , it consists of wrapping your sword in energy and modeling it into a sharp blade after that you need to concentrate the energy and propel it from the sword , the energy will take the form of a blade wave , it will be propelled from a distance and cut your target , better the energy will be condensed better the damage and power of the blade wave , it is called demonic because the energy you will use is demon energy “Leyak explained every detail

“Master how can I control only one energy?”

“You will need to try many times to extract only the black energy, concentration is the key “

“Okay I will train hard “

Lucius returned to sleep it was already night , all the information that he had come to know shocked him , he had demon blood and one of his ancestors Is probably a demon , that was a shocking truth , Lucius a twelve years old boy in this almost five months overcame many hurdles .

The next day, Lucius woke up early, in his eyes great determination.

“Boy, the way you look is not bad”Leyak seeing the look in Lucius eyes praised

Lucius in this five months changed he became slightly taller, his body completely transformed from being weak an frail to being tough and sturdy, muscles became more distinguished, in short he undergone a considerable change , his mind also became tougher from killing beasts repeatedly , with his long red hair he was emanating a graceful aura .

“Okay it’s time to train” Lucius exclaimed

Lucius began to concentrate, he now was trying to extract black energy, with his spiritual energy the demonic energy was little by little being manipulated, around Lucius body black energy was swirling but suddenly it disappeared.

“Damn!! I was so close, the green energy actually blocked the black energy from going outside “

Indeed at the exact time the black energy began to swirl and leave Lucius body the green energy formed like a net and blocked its path.

“Kid remember you have your consciousness use your mind to control human energy and demon energy at the same time, like that you will restrain the human energy from blocking the path” Leyak decide to help Lucius

“Yes master thank you I think I can do this “Lucius answered

In fact Lucius always forget his advantage, his special consciousness.

Trying for the fourth time, this time the black energy has successfully being extracted, black currents of energy were emanating from Lucius body.

“kid one of the phases of the first step has been finished , now to the second step its easy concentrate your black energy and wrap your sword with it “

Like Leyak said , Lucius concentrated his energy and visualized his sword being enveloped with black energy , suddenly all the black energy around his body transferred to his sword , it was quite a sight , the sword was already dark but now it was emitting black light .

“Good now the most difficult, the final step, try to make the energy be propelled from the sword, by concentrating and making a slash “Leyak explained the final step.

Lucius visualized the black energy being shot from his sword and made a slash toward a tree, that leyak pointed, a ray of black light left the sword and slowly moved toward the tree, but it dissipated mid way.

(This fucking kid he already can propel energy, fuck I thought he will take at least a week to do this)

“Brat its good, now the only think you can do is always concentrate and condense energy for a more powerful and faster shot “

“Master, can I propel green energy?”

“of course but human energy don’t have the same properties as black energy , black energy is more powerful and has more quality , so a green energy wave is weaker “

Lucius pondered for a bit then returned training.

After two weeks, Lucius finally left the Iron Mountains, now he can see the city of Noria and its giant walls from afar

He was advancing on the road when a group of people suddenly appeared from each side, there was at least fifteen, one of them was laughing, he was wearing black leather clothes and an eye patch, he had short green hair, but he appeared dirty but it’s not like Lucius can complain, his clothes also were tattered.

“hahaha what its only a kid “(eye patch man )

“But boss look at his sword its black I’ve never seen a sword like that, and he is a handsome and has raid hair we can sell him, he will fetch a handful of gold coins” another man

“hahah you are right his face look like a girl hahaha “

“Humph they are all at the 2nd and third level rank, they are most likely bandits “Lucius snorted

“Kid kills them all!!!”

“Mm but …”

“I said kill them all they will be your first kill’s hahaha…. I didn’t see people die in ages” Leyak laugh had the power to send a shiver down the spine.

Lucius looked at the bandits, his body began to emit dark colored light

“What …hat this kid what is that black light “among the bandits confusion appeared

Lucius took his sword from his sheath, instantly the black like dissipated from his body and was now around his sword.

“hahaha you are actually using this , good kid let’s see what my skill can do “Leyak rejoiced

“Hey that light …. What is that “

Lucius raised his arm and made a fast movement, a black light in the form of an arc escaped the sword and shot at high speed toward the bandits, the speed was frightening, the bandits didn’t react in time , the black wave passed through some bandits

“What was that? Hahaha I thought it was an attack, brat you scared me for a moment “(eye patch)

“Hmm? Boss yyyy…your bbbbbb body!!!” a subordinate of the leader near him yelled .

Looking at his body the eye patch man froze, his upper part was slowly detaching, blood and gore leaked out, instantly several other bandits were cut in two, they died like that .

From the fifteen bandits, four remained

“W…w…what is happening flee!!!! “One of the bandits left screamed

But when they were fleeing another black light flashed and they were also cut in two

“hahahaahaha yes that’s it , kid not bad for a first kill what do you feel “Leyak voice rank in Lucius mind

Lucius was looking at the corpses but surprisingly he didn’t feel anything, he was surprised at himself, he didn’t think he could have this cold reaction

“I…I don’t feel anything “

“ahahaahahahahaha good .. Truly good it’s because of …………..”
