Chapter 4 Temple of No'beck
Character POV Olsis No’Beck
(Prior to soul-bonding with Sword of No’Beck.)
I hate I have to do this. That old hag Frieda is using her favor to make me become the soul bond. My old bones won't last long without a physical hos. So unless Her old body will become the physical bond, I don't know anyone who has a large enough core to withstand the energy intake of the weapon. Either everyone is too young or too old. The weapon cant be given to one of the other 6 races. This sword is one of the 7 artifacts, and if more than 1 was with any given race… whoever had the most artifacts would take over the world.
“Olsis, I'm here to tell you the path the child will take. I want you to go to this spot here.
There will be a circular area with no trees. Sense for his core and stab yourself once the bear shows up. He is my grandson, He’s 4 years old.”
Before Frieda could speak again I raised my eyebrow at her
“A 4 years old” I questioned with a look of shock.”
“He is no average 4-year-old. His ki ability is something special… As well as him being a part of the G.M.H project”
“Hmm. The G.M.H project was where they took the DNA of all of the council members and made a perfect clone of each of their strongest attributes. I see so he would have the large ki reserves of Ken correct?”
“No, the child was the very first. He was a mistake. He was born without a Core… So my ignorant son made a deal with the Dilreans in turn for use of their artifact they get to know how to make their own G.M.H but obviously with their own race instead. So they made the deal but it didn't work. Lyon was… special. His outside shell never formed. However, where his outside shell should be, was a core-shell. His Core is the size of An -A-class adventurer's total core size would be. But we both know that the inner core always has a 1000-1 ratio with Ki density.

So at this point in time, if he had the knowledge and the skill, he could be as strong as a Senior at the Vanguard academy.”
“I see Frieda. So you’re telling me this child's potential is the highest the world has seen since King Gallion?”
King Gallion single-handedly defeated the Maka race. (Shapeshifting Ice dragons)
I have no room to doubt Frieda she saved my life because of her for-telling ability.
“Fine, I have no reason to doubt you. This child seems to be quite interesting. You better hope he bonds with No’Beck or this is all a failure.”
“Don't worry I know he will. Now get going Olsis.”
3 days later…
As I was calmly sitting in a tree I sensed the young fellow. Time to do the soul-bonding. I grabbed the sword that was last used as a claymore and pierced my heart and my body drooped to the ground.
So this is how it feels to be outside of my body. I saw my body lying there as a bear walked up to it. I heard it takes 5 minutes for the sword to take the Ki from the core of me and merge with the sword. My Core was already running low I had maybe another decade or 2. Someone's core cant be refilled like the outside shell, it is like a battery where it slowly runs down but there is no charger. If someone wants to forsake their life they can use this inner shell's ki and use it like normal ki becoming much stronger. However, will end up killing them as they cant regain core ki.
5 minutes later
The lad is here. Let's see where this goes.
(Events of chapters 2 and 3 happen)
The lad is… Special. That's all I can say. While I'm in the sword form I can't adjust any parts of my soul, I rely on the wielder's adjustments. It so happened that he is a natural quadra adjuster! I could even bring out the special variant of Earth and water, Poison.

Sad that I shocked his core to pass him out. I used my Ki ability to insert a dream into him where he completely went berserk. I'll make that out to be true.
I went out my sword to enter as a Ki construct. This takes a toll on the remaining Ki I have.
I can probably use this ability 10 more times before I die.
(After 2 hours of sprinting I made it back to the temple.)
I noticed Frieda was sleeping on the Sword of No’Beck statue. She always has a tendency to pass out in a most “Random assortment of locations”
“Freida” I yelled “ I have the boy and we must speak about his potential to be the one you were talking about.”
She turned her head and opened one eye
She rolled her head and jumped to the ground.
“I told you he is special,” She said with a cockyness.
