Chapter 42: [Bonus chapter]Asura [The demon sword]
"Damn you, just stop shaking and form a contract with me! Stay still for a moment for god's sake," he mumbled and started controlling that sword with his two hands.
Ding!
[All conditions are met for forming a contract with a cursed sword, the host is immune to every curse, the contract is initiating with demon sword Asura, please wait for a moment]
Hearing those words a malicious smile appeared on his face. The sword was trying to run away from his grasp, but he was holding that sword with all his might as if his life depended on this. Who would have wanted to lose a chance to learn a sword technique that came for free along with that sword? And on top of that, the name of the sword was quite intimidating.
After a few moments, the sword in his hand stopped shaking and black flame started appearing on the sword. Seeing this, Yohan gulped a mouthful of saliva, and the next moment he heard a familiar voice in his head.
[Congratulations, host, for forming a contract with demon sword Asura. A soul bond is initiated with the individual Yohan and the demon sword Asura, from now on you are the master of this sword]
[Congratulations, host, for completing the hidden quest! You are awarded with the
Thousand Steps sword technique]
[You can check the status of your soul weapon inside your status menu by opening the system interface]
One by one, those notifications started resounding in his head.
He felt overwhelmed and excited about this.
He looked towards the beautiful sword. The sword was radiating a very frightening aura and the black fire around the sword started disappearing. A moment later, he noticed something unique about this sword. This sword was pitch black in colors, nothing like the other, normal swords which existed in this room.
But he was excited to hear a new term, soul weapon, which he had never heard in his whole life.
"Soul weapon huh, never heard anything about that. But anyway, finally I got this sword for myself along with the Thousand Step sword technique, but this is not the time to celebrate. I need to know how to learn that technique," he thought to himself, but something happened next which took him by surprise.
Ding!
[Host, do you want to learn thousand steps sword technique= Yes/no]
"Wait what? I can learn that technique without doing anything," he mumbled to himself after hearing that notification in his mind.
He took a moment to gather his thoughts, and after taking a deep breath replied:"Yes, I want to learn the Thousand Steps sword technique"
Ding!
[Host wants to learn the Hundred Steps sword technique. Command accepted, please wait for a moment]
Yohan's heart started beating faster and louder as he heard that notification, Various things were happening with him in a single day. He didn't know what he would do now. Should he laugh or cry with his luck? That sword wanted to devour his consciousness but now he became the master of that cursed sword.
When he heard that notification that he was being cursed by that sword, suddenly elder Song's words had started echoing in his mind. That old man had warned him. There were few words existing in this place that could devour one's consciousness and make them retarded. He had thought he was going to become retarded in such a young age.
Yohan was calmly standing there while holding the sword in his hand at the end of this hall, while his grandpa and the elder Song were talking to each other at the entrance of this hall.
Meanwhile..
"Hey Song, what is your granddaughter doing these days? I heard she is going to participate in the upcoming sect disciple exam." The old man Lin looked towards the elder Song as he asked that question.
"Yes, she is going to participate in the upcoming sect disciple exam. She is a very good child. She is around the age of Yohan," the elder Song responded to the old man Lin and he looked here and there.
"Where is Yohan? We forgot about him. Did he choose his sword? In this row, a few excellent swords are available, your grandson must like them," the elder Song pointed his finger towards the row beside him. The old man Lin looked here and there but neither did he find Yohan around them.
"He must be venturing somewhere deep within this hall, this hall is pretty big, and after two years I came here, " the elder Song said to the old man Lin.
Hearing those words, the old man Lin touched his long white beard and smiled towards the elder Song.
"You are very busy nowadays. I am glad I was able to meet you after a long time. You must come tomorrow along with your family to join the celebration," the old man said to the elder Song.
"Haha, I will, let's go and see what your son is doing inside this place, he must be confused seeing these weapons. There are too many weapons here, and one weapon among them is very dangerous." He smiled towards the old man Lin as he said those words.
Hearing those words from the elder Song's mouth, the old man Lin's face became pale.
"Don't tell me you are still holding that cursed sword in your possession," he said those words and cold sweat appeared on the old man Lin's face.
Hearing those words from old man Lin's mouth, a malicious smiled appeared on the elder Song's face. Seeing that smile, the old man Lin took a deep breath and looked towards the elder Song.
"Damn you old Song, you are still obsessed with that weapon. I told you to get rid of that sword. You want to wage a war between kingdoms?"
