BATTLE CRY'S

Lontara 40: Weiss

"You've read the story of the swordsman's life, young man" a white antelope appeared from behind them and faced the lake without glancing at Andros. It was the same antelope that had brought him to this place.

"Yes, but I don't agree with him..." Andros said that calmly.

"The deer can talk!" Veins jumped in shock, although in the magic world there were Magic Beasts that could speak yet it was extremely rare.

"Senior,... How do I call you?" Andros tried to be polite.

"Call me Weiss" the antelope turned his eyes to Andros and then to the jar filled with red liquid.

"It seems he wants you as master"

"What?, do seniors know about this thing?" Andros looked at the jar and lifted it.

"It was a terrifying weapon of his time, with which Arias made it to the top of the martial world"

Andros further frowned, what Weiss meant by weapons while what he saw now was only red mucus that looked alive.

"Open that container and you'll find out"

With his heart Andros opened the lid of the container and the red object jumped into Andros' face.

"Arggh... What are you doing?" Andros tried to remove the object from his face but in vain. Veins try to help but they can't be held. The liquid enters the body of andros through the mouth.

"What's that?" Andros felt something move within his body.

"Arrgghh. hot" Andros tried to take off his shirt because he felt very hot on his chest.

"What happened to her?" Vena asked Weiss in a panic.

"Calm down, your friend will be fine." Weiss calmly noticed the change in Andros' condition.

Slowly the heat in his body disappeared and Andros felt his blood flow more smoothly and his body was powered.

"What happened to me, senior?" Andros noticed his body reflecting thin smoke.

"You've just entered the first stage of blood cleansing." Weiss looked back at the lake then continued his sentence. "I'll train you. You say that you do not agree with Arias the swordsman, so show your own answer. I want to see it"

Andros did not believe what he had heard just now but After fighting at the headquarters of the Bandits and seeing Uncle Ozo's ability he felt a great need for Strength.

"If so, the Disciple will obey" Andros came out of the hut and knelt respectfully.

Veins scratched his head if Andros practiced here then they would stay in this place longer.

"But Andros, how about getting out of here. Isn't Uncle Ozo gonna find you?"

"For that you can't do anything, the entrance and exit of this dimension will only open once every five years."

Andros and Vena frowned and Weiss explained that the place they were in now had a special seal that allowed it to open only once every five years.

Weiss said their place was now a place called 'Paradise Lost Realm'. It was a habitat for Magic Beasts as well as Demonic Beasts and the growth of various valuable resources. Having never touched human hands, this place became rich in resources. It was in this place that Arias practiced and when at the end of his life he made a dwelling at the entrance of that dimension then collected martial arts and hid them in this place.

Vena felt that five years was a very long time, and her father would also definitely look for her.

Andros thought for a moment and asked. "Why are you doing all this teacher?"

"Hm, I don't know if there's anything that makes me a little interested in you"

"What is a teacher?"

Weiss recalled that he had heard the prophecy that if there would be a young man who became his disciple, the young man would be a great contribution to save the world from demons.

"No, forget it" Weiss shook his head slowly.

Andros was just flustered and his wrist spurted fresh blood.

The blood was dark red and after all, a fiery red blood appeared from where the blood had come out.

The blood floated and formed a sword in Andros' hand. The sword reflected the sunlight so beautifully. The entire sword was red in color as it was formed from Andros' blood, its curvature looking perfect. Andros grasped the sword in amazement.

"Looks like that heirloom fits you."

Andros played his sword nimbly, he displayed some movements from the book of the Hundred Swords.

"Alright, our training will start tomorrow. I have to go home." Weiss then ran into the forest, at the end of the forest there was a female antelope that had the same type as Weiss. Then the two spirit beasts entered the forest leaving Andros and Vena.

"I don't think it's too bad, do you?" Ask Andros to Vein.

"We have no other choice, right?" Vena acted calm when she was thinking about something else, stranded in another dimension with a young man for five years, this was not on her list.

Yazel came to one of the forbidden locations in the demon tower sect, he walked through a very dense wild plant until he reached a building that looked haunted from the outside.

He went inside and there was only one hallway in the building. Iron bars were seen neatly lined up along the passageway. Yazel passed by them quietly, several creatures were seen inside each of those bars.

They are prisoners made as guinea pigs by the owner of this building, the body parts of these prisoners are not clear. Some have a face half a bat, have a body like a crocodile, or melata like a snake.

Yazel simply glanced at the prisoner and walked towards a black door at the end of the hall.

Yazel sighed then knocked on this door, to be honest he really did not want to deal with the owner of this place but he desperately needed information from him.

"Ya~" came an answer from within, an energetic female voice.

The door slowly opened and a scantily clothed woman with blood all over her body appeared, and she also had two horns on her head as well as bat wings on her back, his tail is moving on his hips.

"Ah, Chairman Yazel... You need information from me huh?" The woman smiled seductively.

"It's quick to give that information" Yazel said coldly

"Well, it's cold. What if the chairman takes off that weird mask and plays with me for a while?" The woman reached out to touch Yazel's stone mask, but his hand was immediately touched by Yazel.

"If anyone accepts your invitation, I think that person has lost his mind." Yazel shook his head slowly. The woman in front of him was one of the elders of the Demon Tower, her strength was only slightly below that of Yazel. Unnatural body parts grew on his body as he used a Grimoire called 'Demonic Queen Grimoire' which could increase Magic Energy significantly by using Demonic Core.
