chapter 9

ow"hmm?trial?" he muttered while thinking"father didn't say that there is a trial and this is strange?'

"hm" he nods, a little bit of pause then he continued" as this servant is a guardian, yet my time is about to come to an end, I have to find a courier to find someone "

the skeleton then stood up to its throne while grasping a silver staff with a big ring on the top and a mini rings in the ring and to where get that no one knows as it appears when he clutches the air

"and now I finally found someone to be my successor" he then raises his staff while a black miasma is overflowing out from his body then all the miasma gather a the tip of the ring

clang clang~

his staff rings as the whole place became violent, gale and winds whistle to the ears of Julius making his hood flip-down making his silver air flew to the wind

then he raises his left hand toward his forehead, then like he is picking something after a while there is now a circle nugget on his thumb and index finger after it he then drops it to the ball of black miasma making the place explode with light

the whole place is so bright that it is so hard to see the place

hmm"he jumps a little while hiding his eyes from the light then

shiing~~

he now draws his blade ready for any situation he'll face, his lips rapidly open as ancient words materialize in the air and enveloping his whole body making him glow

'what! you two are talking normally earlier just like elder and students and now.... the hell is wrong with your head' she suddenly misses her days'(sigh)' she sighed as she feels nostalgic

then as time pass so do the brightness of the place, Julius make his stance as he on his guard while looking at the skeleton who makes the whole place bright

now holding the staff with a small black sphere like a bead in the tip while ancient words floated at it and surrounding it as

and as it where the words came from that is in the jaws of the skeleton as it keeps opening like a good scallop, the ancient words flew to the air as it wraps the small black bead

"thou accept this" said by the skeleton while his sleeves flutter in the air and his white flare in his eyes became denser

then the orb flew forward in the direction of Julius

noticing the upcoming orb he notices that it looks like a harmless kitten but looks can't determine the situation on the battlefield as this is his beliefs, readied his blade while trying to change his place but as it like his boots is on glue making him can't move his place

then he looks at the orb that is only five meters away from him, now he suddenly feels foreign as he is always in his father care, he didn't feel anything like this until now

a feeling of will to survive but as he struggles his time is thinning up as the orb is an inch away from his forehead then it goes through his mask then go inside his forehead

"thou will be perfect," said at the skeleton while his shrilly voice became weaker and his clothes starting to became ash followed by his feet then it crawls up to his body

then his staff that made of unknown metal crumble into pieces just like a dead stone when crush by hammer

"your destiny will be greater than before after you accept it but also find the one who truly can hold it," he said as his socket became empty and not for long his presence became only a memory to does who him

"you!" as he felt so much power running through his whole body, the power first wash his skin then to his veins then it continues to run until to his heart where there is a diagram it looks more like a web

a tsunami-like power trike through the whole seal making a crack on it, as it keeps attacking so do the crack is

it attacks until it broke down into pieces while new information keeps flashing into his mind

he felt amazed by the complex techniques and moves it holds, then on his forehead where the black bead go through there now a sphere with a crescent moon in white in it while in outer of the sphere there it was surrounded by an arrowhead making it more enchanting but no one can see this as he is wearing his mask now

his mastery of the shadow manipulation is expanding, surging with the power he can't help but punch the air, the power of his surge through his forearm then goes to his fist until it forms a bullet-like sphere that throws out,

the ball of sphere drop to the ground making a large black sphere on the area but it is still the same as it only the color of the place change not the geography

then amazed by his new power he then hurriedly drop to the ground as he executes the lotus form, his goal now is to stabilize his condition as it will be dire if he just let it be as it will be damaging to his meridian

his manipulation of the shadow grow from stage 2 until stage 4 making it astonishing because there is no in the history who makes a breakthrough like this, a breakthrough that straight pass and jump to the next stage

time pass, his position didn't change but now there is a little lizard who shamelessly sat on his head while also making a lotus form and absorbing the element from the body of Julius making it infuriating to anyone but he Julius didn't mind it as he cares the little lizard

unknown to them the shrine that the previous Omnyoji guard

in there, a candle that light
