The Cursed Demonic Blade

Azar, woke early and went to the blacksmith after breakfast. He saw Big B greeted him and sat down to fix the gauntlet that was broken from the explosion.

"Oho, Azar, you made quite of progress there."

"Thank you. How many deliveries for today?"

"Hmmm, at the least 50. You were gone for 3 days, without any trace. I thought that Maju liquefied you. He wasn't home for at least 2 days , that's how i knew you were alive. So, how did the training go?"

"He was going to kill me, but i had quite a success, i can now use mana, at least that's what he told me."

"I see, can you create flames?"

"I don't know how to make it work yet."

"Okay, let me know when you can."

"Alright. I will fix the gauntlet and then start the deliveries."

"I don't mind, just explain the clients for the delay,ok?"

Azar, fixed the gauntlet made the deliveries and before going at Maju's he told Big B that he was going to train with Maju so he could be missing for a few days again and then headed to Maju's.

Maju was waiting for him, which was quite strange. Then they headed to the warehouse. There was actually something that was in Azar's head for those few days.

*I don't know if I am right, but when Maju was explaining to me , about mana and magic he said that the mana system exist to everyone from this world. But i am not from this world. Can I actually use mana now, is there any mana system inside me? But, I felt the strange heartbeat and i actually consumed the mana from the blue apples.*

Azar was troubled but he was waiting to see if he had any results.

"So for today we have a way different lesson. You have to learn how to control your input and output of your mana system. Just meditate until you feel the mana, there is no other way."

"How am i supposed to know when i feel it?"

"Oh, don't worry, when you feel it you will be able to visualize it and see the flow."

"Okay then."

"Juat informing you that this is just the beginning of the 2nd stage."

Azar sat down and started meditating. After hours with no results, he began questioning himself if he actually have any mana inside him.

He opened his eyes to check Maju, he was also meditating but...

"Can you go back at meditating please, you are disturbing my meditation."

*What! He felt my stare? THAT'S AWESOME.*

"Can you also think less, it is annoying feeling your mumbling."

*Now that's scary.*

He returned at meditating, clearing his mind of useless staff, when it finally happened.

*Wait,wait,wait. Mana has a form of blood cells but instead of red they are blue.*

"Finally, you can see the mana flow, how is it?"

"It is blue cells flowing around with my blood cells."

"WHAT?"

"What's wrong?"

"Are you sure that the blood cells are with the mana cells, or you just visualized your blood flow too?"

"Well, i am not sure, but that's what i am seeing. Is it wrong?"

"Well, that's a first, I don't know if it's bad or not. All i know is that you shouldn't see your blood cells with your mana cells at the same vein. Anyways, now that you can see your mana flow, try to control it, which means, go back at meditating and try to make your flow faster or slower, you will see when it will happen."

"Okay."

*I knew it. I don't have the mana system, so the mana was forced to run trough my blood veins. Which means that if i control my mana, will i be able to control my blood flow too?"

He started meditating and tried to control the flow. After a whole day, he finally made it.

*Alright, i did it. I can control my mana and my blood, it took me so long because i had to control the mana and blood differently. I must master this, because when i control my mana cells to go faster my blood pressure goes faster too, and when it goes slower, I am feeling numb at some parts, so i had to control the mana and blood separately. But even now, some of the mana cells are striking with the blood cells taking them together when i try to make the mana faster, the exact opposite happens when i try to slower the mana flow.*

"I did it. Wait, how where you able to know when i could finally visualise the mana flow? Also how did you felt my staring and how did you know i was mubling in my head, that's scary,weird and awesome at the same time. Can you explain please?"

"Of course, i just saw your weird face when you learned how to visualise the mana flow, you had such a funny expresion, you should see your face! About the other two, i mentioned something about black magic. That's some of it's uses."

"I see. Okay then, i did it , i can control my mana flow, and my blod flow too."

"Kid, i am not going to keep a secret, but, it's too weird, that your blood and mana is in the same veins. It's like you..."

"I don't have the mana system."

"That's right. I see, so you understand it too. I don't know if it will be good or bad but i will continue the lessons normally."

"Okay. So what's the next lesson?"

"Do you wanna know so bad?"

"Well of course?"

"I won't let you go, if you start the next phase of the 2nd stage. I will only accept death as the only way to leave this warehouse."

"Why, what's the next phase?"

"Are you accepting or not?"

"I accept, now tell me."

"Okay then. Grab!"

"WHA... ARE YOU STUPID? THIS IS AN UNCOVERED SWORD! Don't just throw it!"

"It's not my fault that you are not ready for the unexpected."

The sword didn't turned to a dagger when Azar caught it. But...

*What's going on. I... I... I am feeling weak, everything is getting darker and darker.*

"Hey kid? Kid? KID?!"

Azar fainted... again. He started bleeding form his nose,eyes and ears.

"Where am I?"

"So you are awake."

He found himself in a void. Everything is strange. From one side the void is, pitch black, with a huge moon that it's not glowing at all. The other side is lighty with a full moon. There is no floor just a huge desert. With some shipwrecks and rocks. It's like the bottom of the sea. Second after second the shiny moon was lowering, so the darkness was consuming the light.

"So you are my new host, What's your name kid?"

*A woman?*

"What, you didn't expect a woman's voice in your head?"

"What's going on?"

"Sigh... I am Kenoni! Your master from on."

"You mean, that you are the sword. I see, so you are my, master? Shouldn't it work the oposite? AND WHAT'S GOING ON, WHY EVERYBODY CAN LISTEN TO MY THOUGHTS!!!!"

"HAHAHAHA, ignorant kid. If i was your slave, i would be doomed, there is nothing that you could do with me, you are so powerless, there is only one thing that could beat me in a fight with you, but that's another story. For now i will stop draining your mana... It is... different, it smells better and has a way better taste. That's the reason that you are just fainted and not dead."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean that if your, mana wasn't so good , i would have already killed you and that man, if he dared to touch me again. I must say, if you hadn't so good smell, i wouldn't be able to wake up with your so little amount of mana."

"So i already owe you a favor. That's unfortunate. But i must say too, that i wont serve you. Go on and kill me, i won't be possesed by you."

"That would be a waste, just give up kid."

"I won't back down!"

"You leave me no choise then."

A woman took form in front of him. She was rushing to him.

"And do you think you can defeat me with your bare hands?" She shouted while she was rushing to him.

*She is so fast.*

Azar jumped sideways instictivly when he lost her.

"HAHAHA, lucky kid. You may dodge this, but what if i go even faster!"

She rushed again, this time two times the speed, Azar wasn't able to even move his eyes before she stabbed him. They were fighting at the dark side of the void, the shiny moon was almost gone. Azar's eyes was getting empty. Then the shiny moon made a small explosion and a white scythe with a shade of yellow appeared at his hands. It had a very weird shape and it was wightless.

"Crap! I will let you live another day. She wasn't going to let me take you."

"She?"

"Tsk. Ignorant, you don't even know what you are holding. You are going to be a little bit more difficult to possess."

Azar was at his knees he was in so much pain, but the bleeding had stopped. The scythe dissapeard and he was regaining his senses.

"Kid? Finally, you were bleeding so much, i thought you were a goner."

"What do you mean?"

"When you touched the blade, you just fainted and started bleeding so much, did you win her?"

"Her? Kenoni? or the other one?"

"Other one? Kenoni? What happened kid. What is going on in your head?"

Azar told what happened and Maju was amazed by the fact, but he was also clueless about the other 'she' and also about the name of the blade.

"She never told me her name, I have battled her before, i was going to die, she was so much stronger than me, that even my best spells was like a small needle stabing her. I was lucky that she got to much of herself and i placed a rooting trap then i also consumed all my mana for a black magic spell to sent her back to sleep, i was sleeping for a month."

"The weirdest thing is that once again my wound dissapeard."

"Once again?"

"Shit, i didn't told you, when the golem was going to kill me and my foot was broken, it somehow fixed it self, i think that, the scythe is the reason behind it."

"Kid... do you have any other magical item?"

"No."

"That's weird. Anyway the more we discuss it the more questions are rising, are you ready to continue?"

"Yes."

He grabbed the sword, scared, but he grabbed it. The sowrd remained a sowrd, Azar checked his mana flow, and he realised that the sword was consuming not only his mana but his blood too, this time a lot slower than before. He could feel that she was only thinking about surviving. He didn't blame her, someone put her to an eternal sleep, she woke up only because his mana was, different.

Maju and Azar went to the open field. He turned it to an open field with the sun lighing the room, like they were going for picnic.

"This time, there is nothing to help you, just your self. How much money do you have with you?"

"I have 300 CC. DON'T TELL ME THAT..."

"That's right. You will have to kill 300 monsters."

Maju started making one Golem after the another. When the first one was made, It emediatly rushed to Azar.

Azar, has experienced something way too much faster, so he was ready for this. He jusmped to the side. Then runned towards the golem. Suprised, he was so much faster than before.

-Suprised, huh?-

-So, you will help me, even if you said that you are my master, kenoni?-

-It would be a waste if you died now so, i will cooparate with you this time.-

-Don't expect me to thank you, after your killing blow.-

-HAHAHA, I don't care about feelings, if you can continue to live and i can continue to feed from you, that's the least thing i would care about.-

Azar jumped and he reached about 5 meters high. He could feel the new power he had. He had the mobility of an asssassin master. He also dashed mid air and slashed the golem in half and took the CC back.

Maju's so amazed about the sudden power up, he sped up the prossesing. After 10 minutes 200 CC was gone.

"It's so interesting, how about we see your limits kid?'

"I am in."

-Am i not?-

-Sigh, the more you use me, the more mana you consume, in your case blood too.-

Maju threw all of the 100 CC remaining to a humanicly formed body. A purple magic circle.

*Purple? This is bad. The prossesing was so fast i couldn't even see the deep blue and the red getting combined.*

"Be carefull, kid, this is not comparable with the golems. Let's see, will a magic assassin beat you?"

The assassin took a glance of his target. He grabbed the sword which was in it's case.

-Watch out!-

Azar took the warning, he raised his sword and block the attack.

-Focus in your battle ignorant!-

-STOP CALLING ME IGNORANT-

A battle of mobility begun. Azar used the only technique he knew. He saw it from Kenoni twice. But he is not Kenoni, so it wasn't that fast and the magic assassin blocked it, while the two swords was trying to conquest each other, the assassin kicked Azar in the stomack.

*He is fast and experienced, even though he is alive for 1 minute, but he gave me an idea.*

Azar threw some slashies at the assassin but the were eficiently blocked. Then he started to run. He grabed his backpack took out the gauntlet and some of the explosive blue apples he made yesterday while fighting with the golem.

-What is this?-

-You will see.-

He then made a quick turn and rushed to the assassin that was forming a circle.

*What?! he can use magic too?*

-You can do it too you know.-

-Can you stop reading my mind?-

-If i did, you ignorant would stop and admire him. Now dodge this blow or let me take from now on.-

The assassin slashed the air and a black matter was now coming to take Azar's head off. Azar bent over and run torwards the assassin dodging the blow, then he placed the explosive bag to the assassins mouth who was now, trying to get his stance of defense, he was expecting a slice and not that, so Azar caught him off guard, then he uppercuted the assassin and jump backwards. the explosion was big and made a huge crankcase.

-What was that?-

-The power of schience, bitch!-

The assassin was now dead and the bag with the 100 CC was in the air. Azar put Kenoni back in her case and jumped to grab the bag. But Kenoni wasn't sharing her powers now so it was an embarasing attempt, which made Maju laugh his heart out.

Then he made an icy path from the bag to him and took the 100CC.

"Hey, that's mine!"

"Tuition fees."

"You ff..."

"Anyways, what was that sudden power up?"

"Kenoni shared her powers wi..."

Azar fainted once again, he woke up in his room with a note saying that <<The next phase is going to begin in a week, 100CC required. Hope you wake up till then. Maju>>
