5 Death Rune

If someone wanted to control the elemental power and increase his magic power, he must draw the elemental rune on his consciousness. Every rune is different, the higher the rank of the rune, the stronger element would become.

The most powerful runes in this world were god rank, but scarce few found those runes in the world, becoming the legend.

After forming a god rune, elemental power would become unbelievably strong. An ordinary spell would become extraordinary when the person with god rune would use it. However, it does not mean anyone would become overpower after forming the rune.

The mage had to accumulate his magic power. Because, without magic power, a mage could not use high-level spells. Afterwards, the mage would also need to comprehend the spell he wanted to use, higher the understanding of the element and spell, stronger the control over spell would become.

Birdy inquired about his element with an agitated voice, "Which element? Tell me fast!"

"Aren't you too eager to know, Birdy?" Ayaan chuckled when he heard her.

"Well, you are going to become the most powerful demon. So eagerness is normal. Now, tell me!" Birdy champed at the bit for his reply.

Laughing uproariously, Ayaan replied, "I am going to choose the death element!"

"Huh? Why death - element? You should choose space or time, instead. They are so cool!" Birdy's voice buzzed in his head like a vibration.

Ignoring her enticing voice, telling his reason for his pick, "I considered every possibility, before selecting death - element. Yes, space, time and other elements are cool and powerful. But from my perspective, the death element is best for me."

Taking a deep breath, Ayaan continued, "First, I also considered a space element. It has many spells that could help me escape in peril. Its attack power is also destructive. However, it is still not my ideal element, because I am not a young master from a rich family who could lie on the bed and learn magic."

Looking in the east direction, he spoke with a yearning expression, "If I want to find Noor, making a place and gaining power in this world is a must. But for that, I would need a lot of manpower.

Where would I find manpower? I am just a lowly dog at the moment and don't even know when will I gain my human form."

Lifting the corner of his lips into an arc, continuing, "Which element could provide me all these things, better than the death element?"

Laughing loudly, she said with a pleasant voice, "Haha! It's good. You thought with your head, love-struck boy."

Rolling his eyes at her comment and continued searching for the rune. Ayaan saw many god-rank runes. Some were eerie, giving producing the dark energy no-stop, like skeleton, skull, devil - eyes, etc.

Ten minutes later, finally, his gaze fell on a rune — a black-dog.

The dog was looking like a manifestation of death itself. For a second, he became trapped in the black-eyes of a dog. What more, this rune was the exact copy of himself, releasing the dark fog continuedly, giving an eerie cold sensation. Ultimately, returning to his senses and realising sweat covered his face. Gradually, a fearful look appeared on his face.

Asking with a shaky voice, and Birdy replied jubilantly, "I was waiting for you to reach this rune. The first Heaven destroyer dog made this rune, by the greatest demon under heaven himself, and it was his first rune, hahaha!"

A surprised look appeared on his face when he realised that the heaven destroyer dog made this rune; anyway, which rune could be more suitable for him than the one made by a previous heaven destroyer.

After that, he purchased the rune without hesitation, and 1000 credits vanished just like that, leaving only ten credits.

Looking at his ten miniscule credits, painful look emerged on his face. After that, a scroll appeared in front of him, releasing cold dark energy non-stop, making Ayaan flinch in shock.

Hardening his look, Ayaan breathed a few times to calm before asking, " When would I be able to form the rune?"

Pausing a little, Birdy replied, "Most of the people in this world only form ordinary rune for the first time. Only those with enormous influence can have the privilege to form high-level runes."

"But it doesn't mean anyone with influence can form the high levelled runes. Higher the level of the rune, the harder it would become to form it, If someone isn't talented enough to form the rune, no one could help him or her."

"I have only fifty percent confidence that you can form a God rank rune. It is because you have the body of the heaven destroyer, and the blood of the greatest demon tempered your soul." explaining everything.

Before Ayaan could ask anything, Birdy again spoke, "So you should wait to reach level nine to form the rune, the difficulty would decrease."

Ayaan nodded in understanding, when Birdy asked, "So, where you want to go, now?"

Ayaan fell into deep silence, looking in a direction, a determined expression appeared, replying her "Towards east."

"Aii… I should have known, you love-struck boy," shaking her head at his reply, because Noor had gone towards the east.

Surprised at her reply, Ayaan asked, "How do you know, Noor went the east? You weren't with me."

"Humph! What do you know? From the time you entered the portal, I knew everything about you." Reminding him how awesome she was.

"Alas… you are such a stalker, Birdy. I think I don't have any secret left now," he replied and walked towards his destination, with his tiny paws.

Ayaan couldn't walk more than a few meters when Birdy stopped him, "Are you going to carry this scroll by your mouth everywhere?"

Realising that he was still carrying the scroll in his mouth. For talking, he need not speak by mouth and can share his thoughts with Birdy. Therefore, he didn't realise before.

"Umm.. so, how am I supposed to carry it? Don't tell me; I have to bury it somewhere?" Ayaan asked in confusion.

"Oh, you need not bury it, anywhere. You still have ten credits, don't you? Just use them to buy a low-class storage ring." Telling him something new, because he knew nothing about storage rings.

"So, you are saying, a storage ring you talked about could store the scroll?" He inquired, not believing on his ears.

"Yes, you can store many things in the storage ring. It will be very convenient to carry your stuff." She explained to him. After hearing her, Ayaan nodded and didn't waste his time.

Opening the weapon option in the magic library, he found a myriad of space rings. There were low-level space rings and high-level ones. He quickly found a ring he can afford. The ring had the property to become disappeared and had a space of five cube meters. Spending eight credits. The ring appeared on his front leg.

"You can form a connection with high-levelled rings by dropping your blood on them, but this ring is shallow. So, you can easily store anything in it with no trouble, but other than you, anyone else also can open it, and this is the major difference in high level and low-level rings." Ayaan nodded, showing that he understood and stored the scroll.

"Alright, time to move." not wasting any time, he walked towards the east.

On the way, Ayaan killed many ordinary beasts to gain some experience points. After an entire day of killing and fighting, he advanced another level. He never stopped improving when he had just a slight chance to gain some exp.

"Aaahhhh!!"

Ayaan had just killed his prey when a bloodcurdling scream sounded from the woods. Looking in the direction the cry came, he considered for some time and walked towards the bushes. His face went pale after watching the scene in the woods.
