"What do you think of him?" Abigor asked, turning toward the old lady. Blade leaving the room with the ghoul.

"Hmm.. Interesting, I must say. He was graced by the Great Demon God of Annihilation. He must have something, to pique the interest of the Second Demon God." Old lady said, her wand transforming into a crow.

"What do you think of him?" She asked, curiously. Abigor and the middle-aged knight behind her immediately bending on their knees.

"Umm? You talk about that boy? He is interesting, he has the body of Blood." Crow said, all three in the room were shocked by crow's words.

"My Elder, Are you serious? It can't be.. it."

"Ritualist Abigor, Have I asked your opinion on this?" Crow interrupted Abigor, it's yellow eyes turning red. Crow glared toward Abigor.

"Ah. Forgive me, My Elder! I just didn't realise what to say, hearing your statement." Abigor immediately apologised.

"I, Alex, apologise too, My Elder." The middle-aged knight also apologised.

"Yeah, I shall forgive you all this once. Since, I know their existence is shocking. Not even to us, but to the entire world." Crow said, it's eyes turning normal yellow.

"Elder Lily. If that is all, I am leaving. We still have problems in the Mainland here. But, do remember. What happened inside this room… it doesn't leak outside this room, right?" Crow said, morphing into a wand.

Fwoosh!

"Elder Lily. What should we do with him now?" Abigor then asked solemnly.

"Nothing.. His Blood Body hasn't awakened yet. We just watch him." Elder Lily said nonchalantly.

…

…

"Welcome, newcomer! Welcome to our Raven Squad! We are the greatest squad of Western Blood Cunt!"

Bonk!

"Leader, It is C-u-l-t not cunt! Please, don't embarrass us." A young man said, bonking his squad leader.

Blade gives them his emotionless gaze. He was led to this mansion by the ghoul.

Blade on his way from Abigor room to this mansion was really confused. Because he didn't know where this cult was located.

As he left the room, he was welcomed with a black sky. Observing probably, he realised this cult was underground.

"Ahh! Damn you, Clay! You dare hit your leader, when you have just arrived from your mission!" the lady shouted, with a pout. She claimed herself to be the leader of Raven Squad. Where Blade was placed in.

Quickly, turning her attention to Balde again.

"Ahem! Anyway, newcomer. I am Dabira, squad leader of Raven Squad of our glorious Blood Cunt. I have already received the orders from Lord Abigor, that you will be our new member." Squad leader Dabira said, her emerald eyes observing Blade. She was wearing a black sleeveless robe, showing her snow white skin.

She was 5'7 ft tall, she looked to be in her 30's. Her long curly beautiful red cherry hair and red cupid lips giving her a unique charm.

She had a playful face, with an average bust and curvy figure. All in all she was beautiful.

But.. There was a huge scar in her face. She had a huge cut from her left forehead to her lower left chin. She had an eye patch in her left eye, her right eyes purple.

'Dabira as in Angel of Death?' Blade inwardly thought, turning toward Clay. The man beside Dabira.

He was 6'1 ft tall. He had curly shoulders reaching blonde hair, blue eyes. He had broad shoulders, straight posture and puffed chest. He was wearing a full-plate knight armour.

"You are Blade, that Lord Abigor has selected to be a new member of our Squad. We welcome you." Clay said, while Blade also slightly bowed his head.

"Yes, I am Blade. I was sent here by that old man." Blade said. Both Dabira and Clay were a little surprised by the way Blade was addressing a Ritualist.

"Hey, Blade. Since you are new to squad

Could we ask, which weapon do you use?" Clay asked, ignoring the addressing manner.

'I would normally prefer a dagger. Because, it was my favourite weapon, when I killed others in my previous world. But, observing carefully. Daggers aren't much in this world.'

"I prefer to use a sword." He replied.

"Oh, Have you awakened your sword aura?" Clay then asked, raising his brow. He observed Blade's body.

'Is he lying, no way he could be a Swordsman. Just looking at his skinny body, I thought he might be an archer or something like that.' Dabira thought.

"No."

"What! You haven't awakened your aura yet? How can you be selected in our squad then? Are higher ups pranking us!" Clay exclaimed loudly. He himself was a sword aura user, and a 5th-stage at that. How could he have a novice swordsman in his squad?

"Calm down, Clay. If he wasn't sent to our squad. He must have something in him, why don't we ask him?" Dabira said. She looked like a general currently, completely opposite to her before playful appearance. She looked at Blade for an answer.

'Should I tell them about my insignia thing? It isn't like that, it is a deep secret anyway. That old man beside him already knew about it.'

Shine!

"Wha..!"

"Actually, I was blessed by a Demon God insignia." Blade said. Dabira and Clay flabbergasted by the crest in his forehead.

"Thi.. This. You are an Insignia bearer!"

"Hahaha. I can't believe it, they actually sent an insignia bearer in our squad." Dabira laughed joyously, she couldn't believe it.

Raven Squad was well-known in Western Cult, for never having an insignia bearer in their ranks in the past fifty years.

That was also one of the reasons, even after having the second-most powerful curse user and third-ranked sword aura user in cult. They never were ranked inside the top 10 squad of Western Blood Cult.

"Then, Young Blade. You claim to be a sword user? Clay, I will give you the job of training him in sword path." Dabira spoke.

Clay nodded his head, glancing toward Blade.

"What age are you now?" Clay asked. One of the most important factors of awakening sword aura, is that the awakener must be inside the age of sixteen.

"I'm fifteen."

"Good, then you have one year to awaken your sword aura. I will help you awaken it within the year." Clay stated, his tone not carrying any arrogance. He had complete confidence in himself.

"Then, I will be thanking you for that." Blade thanked, tonelessly.

"Sure, then let's head right now! Our other squad members are on mission. So, it is only you, me and the Leader." Clay said, grabbing Blade's hand. He immediately pulled him outside the mansion.

"You guys have fun~ I will be visiting Lord Abigor then." Dabira spoke, waving her hands. She watched the leaving figure of Blade and Clay. They were heading toward the lawn.

The mansion of Raven Squad was very large, somewhere between 5,000 to 7,000 square feet. It was painted red, it's roofs painted in black. It's lawn grasses were well-trimmed, while there were many weapons around the corner of the lawn.

There were swords, bows, spears, blades, mace and many more.

"Here, Take this sword." Clay said, tossing an iron sword toward Blade.

Grab!

Blade caught the hilt of the iron sword. He had to say, the sword in his hand was heavy.

"Nice catch. Now, I will let you strike me ten times. I first need to see how much understanding of sword you have." Clay exclaimed, gesturing to Blade to move. He was completely unarmed, he didn't even have his hand around his sword near his waist.

"If you say so." Blade simply said, dashing forward. He felt his body out of his control.

'Ugh! Too weak, I can't even carry a sword.' Blade grunted, having a hard time swooping his sword.

His arms were really skinny, the same could be said to his legs. If he had stayed in that mine for longer, he could have died from those tasteless and unhealthy food.

"Huh? You probably can't even wield your sword, now? Are you sure. You want to be a sword user. You can be an archer, you know."

…

Step!

Step!

Walking through the corridor of the Ritual Hall of Cult Castle.

Dabira walked in front of a huge door. The gate had two gigantic demonic imp statues on both sides of the door.

Knock!

Knock!

"Who is it?" hearing Dabira knock. Abigor old voice sounded inside the door.

"It is Dabira, leader of Raven Squad."

"Oh, Dabira. Come in." Abigor exclaimed, hearing her voice.

She opened the door, a loud noise was produced from opening the door. She walked inside.

It was the same room, where Blade firstly was. It actually wasn't Abigor room, but a Ritual room.

"How are you, Dabira? It has been a long time since we last saw each other. What brings you here?" Abigor said, turning toward Dabira.

"It indeed has been a long time, Lord Abigor. I just wanted to know the real reason why you placed little Blade in my squad." Dabira said, curiously. She knew Blade getting recruited inside her squad wasn't by any means normal. There is a large ploy set in.

"I'm sorry, Dabira my dear. But, I can't."

Slam!

"What do you mean by that, Lord Abigor. If you don't tell me, I will ask my father for it! Don't you think it is better for you to tell me?" She said, slamming the desk in front of her.

"Hoho, little Dabira. I know because of your past, you haven't spoken with your father for the past forty years. You can't threaten me with your father status."

"You..! If I have to speak with that bastard, for the safety of my squad. I am willing to do it. So, it is better if you tell me now." Dabira said. She carried a disgusted and enraged face, speaking about her father.

"Hoho. I am sorry, little Dabira. To tell you the truth, not even Elder Axel knows about it." Abigor said he looked toward Dabira.

"Sigh, Little Dabira. I will just tell you. That Blade is hostile towards your squad, so you don't have to worry about it. Actually he is a slave of Ruinia Kingdom…" Abigor began telling how they met with Blade, to Dabira.
