***Random Forest#2***

***THEO***

As I wobble my way out to look for a clearing. I stumble upon a cave, then I thought “Heh, guess this is fine..” stepping inside I can feel the air growing colder and the gravity becoming stronger with each step I take.

The further I go, I sense an overbearing presence becoming stronger. Finally, as I reach a dead-end, the overbearing presence disappears. I sigh. “well, that was anticlimactic, I thought I’d find something cool too.”

I start my attempt at re-learning how to walk straight, I realized that I’m already fine… “must be the pressure from before...” seeing that I’m fine I prepare to leave the cave but the pressure strikes me again and I trip.

*Click*

Hearing a clicking sound, the cave walls to my left start separating, revealing a room full of money, equipment, rare metals and more treasures. As I stand up and walk inside, a big golden throne sits in the middle, sitting on it, a black skeleton donning silver plate armor and a black mantle, on it’s head is a golden crown adorned with shiny red gems.

*CREAK*

The walls behind creak as they start closing on me. Looking around, “Bingo” I said as I spot the metals I’ll be using for my guns. As I walk closer to collect the metals, the skeleton speaks “Fool! Nobody steals my treasure and gets away alive!”

“Then I guess I’ll be the first one.” I said while dropping the metals and readying my battle stance. Okay, so we’ll fight him with under the condition of not using devour unless we’re losing, I thought as he pulls out a Greatsword that exudes an eerie aura with a black blade, golden hilt and red veins seemingly beating every now and then. Of course me being, well.. me.. I thought it looked cool and wanted it for myself.

The skeleton points his sword at me and says “Very well, HUMAN!, Battle me! Should you win, you are free to take everything in this room.” Hearing this, a wide and ominous grin that threatens to split my face, finds it’s way to me. “INTERESTING… Then why don’t we get to it?”

“Right! I, Vyne Melroune challenge you to a Duel!” the skeleton says as he also starts up a stance. “I Accept!” as soon as the words leave my mouth, we both, dash towards each other leaving dust in our trails. Making a Greatsword out of my Aura, I Deflect his downwards slash. The heaviness of his strike caught me by surprise as I get sent back flying, crashing into the wall where the doors used to be, surprisingly, these doors are pretty resilient.

Getting on my feet and wiping some dripping blood off my mouth, He takes up another stance as he dashes towards me, swinging his sword as if it weighed like a feather. ‘Damn! How is he so fast!’ splitting my Great sword in half, I take a different stance, wielding two long swords. Augmenting my whole body with my aura and internal energy, my body starts glowing a faint shade of orange. “Interesting… a human with divine energy? Are you one of those blessed Heroes summoned from another world? How LUCKY! Guess this fight won’t be another waste of time”

“Damn skeleton, Don’t lump me in with those mutated apes” using my newly strengthened body, I move to his back and slash away. He either dodges them, or deflects them with his huge sword. Frustrated, I start putting more aura into my swords, both swords become a darker shade of red and become light as a feather. Quickly stepping a few more feet back, I recall if I can use some of the techniques I saw in the animes I’ve watched.

Then, I finally found it. Walking up to Vyne, I tighten my grip on each sword as I increase my strength input. As he raises his sword to do a downwards slash, I shout, [Starbu*st Stream]!! Copying everything that Kir*to was doing, I realized I was to slow, as I attempt unseal my 2nd and 3rd seals, Arcien’s voice rings in my head.

“-So this is what you went off to do? Heh, wait, give me a few seconds and I’ll start the unsealing-“ as I keep slashing at his armor, I can see it slowly bending and having more scratches while I hear arcien speaking at the back of my mind “- 2nd and 3rd seal, BREAK!-“ as soon as he’s done, I feel my old traits reappear. Feeling the rush of power, I start increasing my attack speed as I slowly start overpowering him. “So! What now Vyne! Give up and give me your treasures!”

“Not yet boy! At least let me enjoy this for a little while longer!” he shouted as his strikes become heavier. ‘damn just how strong is he!’ I thought as I leave everything else to luck, continuing my onslaught.

*CRACK*

Overjoyed at the sudden cracking sound, I start increasing the aura I used to augment my body once more. And then Finally, I break his armor and… his everything else except for his skull. He starts talking, “Well then… Boy, take what you need and my Greatsword. Beware, the sword is said to give it’s wielder unimaginable power, in exchange for a steep price, for I, lost my humanity…” he said his final words as his skull and all his bones start getting grinded into dust, and didn’t he stop calling me human when I unsealed my draconic and beastman traits?

*After the boring task of taking everything*

*sigh* looking around the place, there is a huge crater in the middle with a greatsword buried on the cold hard ground. Walking over to pick up the sword, I thought, “maybe I could still devour his remains…” activating the skill, a red mist starts cleaning the ground off of the dust and my body starts growing colder, my skin deathly pale, seeing no more changes other than my aura reserves skyrocketing, I shrug my shoulders.

Extending my hand to Reach for the Greatsword, as my hand touches the handle, Thorns suddenly spike out of the handle and pierces my hand. The blood oozing off of my hand drips down on the blade, being absorbed by the red veins. As my hand finishes healing the sword has already absorbed all the blood. Then another voice rings out in my head.

“Greetings to the new master, my name’s Grandark (mix of Grand and Dark since Great+Dark doesn’t sound that appealing to me xD)” the raspy voice which called itself Grandark spoke to me in my head. “Well… Sup… So, what are you going to take from me, in exchange for power?”

“Then I shall take your mana and internal energy, in exchange for Demonic energy” thinking about it… I have divine energy… and this sword will give me demonic energy… aren’t those complete opposites?... what will happen to me then? And mana? I thought I couldn’t use that? Must be when I ate arcien.. well then! While I was thinking about other things, the sword has already proceeded with taking my internal energy and mana away, and has started giving me demonic energy…

‘Whoah, what’s with this new energy? It feels chaotic, cold and… ominous…’ it was then that the two opposite energies started clashing with each other, each one fighting for dominance, each clash, sending waves of excruciating pain through my body.

“-Goddamnit! I knew this would happen! Theo! I have a plan though this will probably kill us, if we die, WE DO IT IN STYLE!!!-“ Arc’s voice resounds through my head. “Fine! I don’t care! Just fi- GUHA!!” I shout and cough a large amount of blood mid-speech. I suddenly feel Arc tapping into my Sealed divine energy(Note: he only unsealed 2nd and 3rd seal so this one is isolated, thus allowing arc to use it) I could feel myself getting encased in a black and white ball and from under the ball, tendrils start digging into the planet, reaching into its core, and absorbing as much raw energy it could. Then I feel that my consciousness slowly escaping from my grasp as I murmur my next words before I fall into a long sleep “I leave everything else in your hands… Arcien”
