Bands and stages of a weapon

The battle between Doji and the Mystical Nurge warrior abruptly halted as soon as Ethan released his sword aura.

The Mystical Nurge warrior had shock on his face though he wasn't a weapon warrior he knew a little about Weapon auras.

"Are this children humans?!"the Mystical Nurge warrior couldn't help but wonder,Doji who he had thought he would previously crush like an ant was in some way fighting him like an equal.

And now the other one was making a breakthrough during a battle.....Why did i meet with this demons?!

Doji on the other hand was amazed and shocked at the same time.Amazed because Ethan was able to achieve a realm which even he himself was yearning for,one should know that what just appeared has a casual thing done by Ethan was as hard as climbing a mountain.

The aura which different weapon released were not the same some could be as gentle as a dove,while some as violent as a sea of flames.

Finding out the aura of your weapon was the hard part of this realm it was a very tricky thing,you might assume since your weapon is fierce so its aura would also be fierce but disappointingly the aura might not be violent as you assumed.

So it was such a huge feat.The reason behind Doji's shock is the fact that as soon as Doji's sword aura burst out his sword reacted like a child who had just found its long lost mother.

This time it wasn't vague like the first occurrence,he could feel it well and it even lasted for a very long time somehow he felt the efficiency of his sword increase.He kept that at the back of his mind and pounced towards his opponent who was also prepared for another clash.

Has for the man with the demon smile his body was shaking like as though he was thrown into a sea of ice same was the case for Zack also who was already on his feet.

The man with the demon smile had to stop his attack as he suddenly felt as though a mountain was pressing on him.

Even the technique he used on his spear had dispersed.

Everyone felt as though Ethan had accomplished the realm of merging with ones weapon aura but he knew that he was missing something.

He felt as though he was missing one part of the puzzle.It was as though he was a stream that had almost converted to a river but just need one drop of water to fully transform.

"Lad,you are truly talented to form a sword aura at a first trial.....that is more reason why I should kill you!!" the voice of the man with the demon smile which first sounded like a master praising his disciple suddenly transformed to that of a beast that lusted for blood.

He waved his spear frantically and slammed it on the ground.

Boom!

Ethan could feel the ground under his feet vibrate a little that was the sheer force carried by the spear.

Dust rose from the ground and spread around the spear in a queer manner, and before one could blink an eye the dust had started to move around the spear in eddy.

The spinning dust of earth began to attach themselves to the spear like glue and shockingly the dust began to transform to patches of earth that looked more like snake scales.

In no time the weapon had transformed into a rock filled scaly spear.

"Band of Earth!"

Yelled the man as he pointed his spear towards Ethan.

Zack who was standing some distance away at the right side of Ethan sighed and muttered under his breath"it has come to this!"

The punch which he received from Ethan had dealt some serious damage to his body,he had a weaker body compared to his peers on the same level of power due to the art he cultivated,this coupled with the suppression force released by Ethan's attack made his case worse!

He raised his sword up as though he was about to deliver a chop and at this the air around the sword suddenly began to heat up.

Zack began to speedily bring down the sword and with this movement the air around the weapon began to grow hotter like as though and invincible flame was burning.

In no time the sword had reached its destination just some metres in front of his waist,the sword now was entirely different it was engulfed in a bright ray of light that a glance would make one feel as though his eyes would go blind.

"Band of Illusion!"

Zack yelled as he took on a battle stance.Ethan's body was vibrating which the two men took as fear but rather he was fidgeting from excitement.

How wouldn't he be excited to battle!...He was facing two men who had unleashed their bands,bands could be described as your own understanding and perspective of the weapon you wield.

The man with the demon smile comprehended his spear to be as mighty and durable as the earth while to Zack his sword was a weapon of utter distraction and confusion.

The sword aura of Ethan which was classified as the stages of a weapon somehow worked hand in hand with bands but a lot of people do not follow this principle.

You could take a band as a blob of light in a dark alley while the stages of weapon as an old guide that knows everything about the alley and can walk in the alley even with his eyes closed.

It was a choice to pick which one you want the blob of light or the guide,the choice which a lot of warriors made was to choose the blob of light as it was the main source of power they believed if you pick the guide he could only support you with no independent sight of yours,so they themed the stages of weapon as only meant to support the power of bands.
