1249 Words
Lavi didn't waste a single moment in the cave that he was in. He set on his sight on the Crimson Sword and then immediately put his hand on the Crimson Sword Head. He untwist the guy's neck and then immediately activate a spell.
"Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust. Everything come, everything go. Heed my call, lost soul of this bone!"
As soon as Lavi activates that spell, a shimmering golden light appear from the head of the Crimson Sword and Lavi absorbed that light with a pretty devilish smile.
"For your cockiness against me, I shall use your soul and extract only the necessary memory about this world!" It was pretty shocking to know that Lavi is actually this heartless. However, Lavi feels like this is a necessary action to take because in those novels that Bianca gave Lavi, he felt that being heartless and egotistical is the best way to go.
After all, you have nothing to worry about other than your own survival.
Anyway, Lavi absorb the soul of the Crimson Sword and make sure that he only received the necessary information that he needed to have a basic survival information in this world. Such as, the History of this world, the Cultivation and levels of it, the Clans in the world and of course, he searched for threats that might be coming in this world...
All of the necessary information, flows into Lavi's mind flawlessly and with his quick thinking, Lavi had understood every single thing that is happening in this world. He is so confident about his understanding that he felt that he has better understanding of Palacia than most folks in Palacia.
Lavi opens his eyes after absorbing that information and then immediately turn his attention to the grave in front of him.
"So, the Crimson Sword and his clans are aiming for this huh. The Grave of the Divine Demon Sword Emperor. His Demonic Sword Clan Ancestor." From that memory absorption, Lavi figured out that the Crimson Sword is looking for this grave for power.
He also know that the Demonic Sword Clan Ancestor soul is tied to the pillar in the middle of the cave. If you want power, you must pass the trial that the Demonic Sword Clan Ancestor had set up. And that is pretty exciting in Lavi's mind.
Lavi stared down the Pillar sharply and he feels a pretty demonic aura leaking out from the pillar. From his observation, it doesn't seem to be a soul related demonic aura. But just a demonic aura generally. Meaning, no one is controlling that aura, it's just leaking out naturally.
'Either there's a weapon inside that pillar or something that is related to the ancestor. Although I feel that his soul is there, it's not his soul that is putting out such aura... So, the only thing I can do right now is just to pass his trial and earn some rewards. Maybe like Cultivation Method? Or a weapon in general... I needed a weapon because that's the rule I set for myself.'
Without waiting any longer, Lavi approaches the Pillar and the closer he gets to the pillar, the more he felt a soul oriented aura. Which means, it's the Ancestor that is testing him...
However, since Lavi decided that he will play the evil role in this realm, he didn't falter even a single bit. He step forward closer and closer without feeling the need to slow down. He felt like this is a part of the trial so he push through like it was just an everyday walk and then when he feels like the aura subsided, Lavi stopped and then bow his head.
'I need to act respectful in this realm because I'm just an outsider. So, let's respect the elders that had created this world to the beautiful mystical world it is today.'
"Greetings, Ancestor."
Suddenly, a coarse and harsh voice pierced through Lavi's ears.
"State your need, child!"
"... I wish for power, Ancestor."
Lavi's answer seems to stumped the Ancestor for a bit. Because he was sure that Lavi is a strong man because he didn't feel intimidated by his evil aura, after all, he is the ancestor of the Demonic Sword Clan, he was once the strongest in the clan.
But then, he observe Lavi's situation and figured out that he had no Cultivation. Just a maxed out Physical ability and martial arts. Other than that, there's nothing that is worth talking about that the Ancestor can see...
"You wish for power, you said? Very well! I shall give you all the power you need in the world if you manage to pass all of the trial I set for you. Then I will give you it!" The Ancestor saw something interesting in Lavi.
How can a man with no cultivation be so great already? He wanted to see how far Lavi goes so, he is willing to provide him everything he need. After all, he had no need for just sitting idly now that a potential wielder of him are here...
"What do you wish me to do, Ancestor?"
"First. I want you to break this pillar. Upon breaking it, there is a Demonic Sword that have been with me all of my life, even to my death now. Wield it and see what's going on after that."
"Okay, should be easy enough."
Lavi take a step back and the Ancestor quiet down.
'Easy enough? Bullshit. This pillar on my grave is created from a Soul Stone Anchor. The only one who can break it are those with the ability to attack soul itself. But, since it's this guy who tries it, I might be able to break free and roam the world once again.' He put his entire trust to Lavi and then just watch.
Lavi, even without sword, can utilize all of his sword skills. After all, his entire body is a sword itself...
He just raised his hand and then closed his eyes... Recalling that moment of pure swordsmanship that was shown to him by the Elder Sword.
"Sword Heart?!" The Ancestor was shocked to find out that Lavi can use Sword Heart in his state. But, that confirms something for him.
'This young lad is not from here! He is someone strong from the outside that wants to get stronger through the way of Palacia! Such greed of power is not something that I can even found in Palacia. This guy, is interesting!'
Lavi however, showed displeased face as he swing his hand down to sliced the Pillar in half...
'Tch... This Sword Heart ability is a bit shoddy...'
"What do you think, Ancestor? Is this good enough for you?"
"Hm! More than enough. You have the talent and greed to become strong in this world! Maybe even stronger than you before!"
"It seems like Ancestor had figured out where I am from."
"Hahaha! It's not that hard, you don't look like someone from here. So, it's only natural that I figured it out upon knowing that you had no cultivation!"
Lavi smiled and then walked toward the White sword in front of him...
'So that is the one that leaks evil aura before the Ancestor... Well, it's an interesting sword for sure...'
"Now, what should I do?" Lavi asked the Ancestor.
"Grab the sword and see if my sword acknowledges you!"
"Very well!"
With that, Lavi put his hand on the sword and then draw it.
