A New Consciousness

The man slowly stood up as he turned back and look at Vather,a sinister expression still present on his face but was slowly withdrawing until it turned to fear.

Vather,at least in physical body, looked at the man as he ignored him and looked at his hands instead.He could see the four blood red arms as two more arms immediately grew out from his shoulder making a new six arms, something that Vather wouldn't be able to do.His completely blood red hair grew longer and fluttered behind him as his hands morphed into claws.

"How many years has it been."the ref haired Vather muttered as his left eye shine an ominous blood red light.

"Where am I?why do I feel so weak."He muttered as he immediately disappeared from where he was standing and ascended into the sky while slash his six claws upwards.

An incredibly sinister phantom of a claw appeared moving with speed towards the dojo's ceiling but was blocked by the dome of energy surrounding the place.The blue screen of light that blocked the claw phantom flickered as it light immediately dimmed.

The red haired Vather moved three of his claws backwards and was about to slash upward for the second time when felt a leg slam into his side as he was immediately blown away and smashed into the ground.

The man looked at the pit where Vather smashed into when a young man with blood red hair slowly stood up from the rubbles.His red eyes shone an ominous blood red light as he glitched and immediately appeared in front of the man.

"I feel you're very familiar,like you are the same as me.If so, let's fight how we the battle devils fight shall we."A smile appeared on his face as a fist slammed into the man ribs making a crunching sound but the man didn't take a single step back as ignored the blood oozing out of his mouth and threw out a punch of his own.

Phantoms of fist image appeared in the room as space shifted and cracked from the power.

None of the men moved a single step backwards as they slammed a punch brimming with powerful ruinous aura on each other,blood pouring out of their body but the red haired Vather's smile only widened even more his eyes flaring with an even more blood red light but the man's expression wasn't the same.

The man's expression turned to confusion then into terror.At the beginning of the fist fight he was able to continue pushing Vather back with every punch which shows he was stronger but ten more punch,and there was a stalemate.Twenty more and he was the one being pushed back which could mean only one thing.Every punch to the red haired young man before him,every time blood oozed out from his mouth,he wasn't growing weaker or being injured,no,he was getting stronger instead.

The red haired Vather was getting stronger the more battle he fought.This is something very terrifying as if he was present in the middle of a battlefield where there are battles everywhere.Then he'll quickly become so strong and turned into a terrifying existence in a minute.

"A being with the body created for war.A devilish mayhem born for battle."the words if his master sneaked it's way into the man's head as he slammed his leg on the ground and threw a punch imbued with all his strength on Vather's chest,but Vather didn't move a single step backwards as a mocking smile appeared on his face while he threw out a punch of his own.

A body was immediately sent flying like a rag doll as the man slammed into the wall at the other side and immediately dug a hole into it, coming out from the other side.A claw moved with speed towards his chest an inch from them as the man's eye widened in terror as he knew his heart will be immediately clawed away from his chest.Terror appeared on his face which slowly morphed into calmnness as the man thought to himself.

"At least I found the chosen one,before my death"he slowly closed his eyes but he didn't feel the expected pain making him open it.

Vather stood there his claw an inch away from clawing out the man's chest,but a struggling expression appeared on his face.Vather put down his claws as he flashed a smile at the man and faced the sky.

"It seems it's not yet time to reveal myself into this world."he said as his blood red arms turned to blood that was absorbed back into his body leaving him with his two arms present.All the blood present around the hall moved towards him and got absorbed into him as not a single speck of blood became present in the hall.His blood red hair slowly turned back to their normal half golden and half red colour while his blood red eyes regained their golden colour.His claws morphed back into their normal white hand.

Vather suddenly collapsed limply on the ground as his body reverted back to his normal body.A small tiny phantom of the red haired Vather could be seen inside Vather's body as he slowly made his way into Vather's chest and arrived before the three cores.His face morphed into one of confusion as he looked at the three cores but he was quick to make his choice as he moved towards the blood red core of the Death Blood Sovereign bloodline and sat inside it.

A red light burst out from him rapidly moving towards Vather's brain and surrounded it before immediately dispersing as the tiny being muttered to himself

"He shouldn't be aware for now,and I believe the other young one isn't a fool."

He immediately closed his eyes after that and fell into a deep slumber absorbing power from Vather's red core although very little,Unknown when he will awaken again or might never even awaken.

Vather slowly opened his eyes as he was greeted by the white ceiling of the dojo.He slowly sat up from the futon he was placed on as he placed his hands on his head feeling a little headache but was quickly gone.

"You're awake."a voice said to him as he saw the old man staring at him while breathing in and out in that strange rhythm.

"It seems I lost the fight,then I guess you where right about the battle style being important."Vather said as he stood up from the ground.He felt he has even gotten stronger a little,very strange.But he was happy with that and quick to throw away the thought of the anomaly out of his mind.

The man opened his eyes as he looked strangely at Vather.

"The memories has been erased."he muttered to himself as he threw a book towards Vather who stretched out his hands and caught it.

It was a strange book that was radiating a faint ancient aura as Vather saw three words on it.War Devil Battle Style.

"If you have some free time,then you can try to learn that and comprehend as much as you can.You can leave now.Have a good one day rest before the mission"the man said as he closed his eyes once again.

Vather was grateful to the old man for giving him the book for free, promising himself to check it out sometimes later.

He bowed towards the man as he moved out of the place and headed back to the Forging hall to fetch his new weapon.

Back at the dojo

The old man slowly opened his eyes as he muttered to himself.

"I've found the chosen one and giving him the battle style.The hundreds of years lineage mission has finally been fulfilled.All I need to do now is wait..."the man muttered as he closed his eyes and resumed his breathing.

He wouldn't tell Vather about the devilish battling consciousness in him.He was sure the red haired Vather too wouldn't want that.

So he kept quiet for now as even if Vather knew a new consciousness has been awakened in him,what can he do.It was better to just leave it and let Vather concentrate on getting stronger instead.

But only if he knew that the ref haired Vather wasn't just a devilish battling consciousness but an ancient monster who once made the absolute cosmos shudder in fear.
