Chapter 94: 94
The fight between both blood led to lots of inheritance to be abandoned but some memories were still there which Erik took advantage of, now his people are equipped with better clothes and can protect themselves from any possible dangers.
Erik occasional dream led him to start an army as sometimes when he wakes up, he feels like the demon is close and he has to be ready to fight them when needed, but after he gets himself together he looks up to see there was never any demon only humans, through this state of sleepwalking Erik has managed to take over a lot of tribe and act as the new leader.
Thankfully he always snaps out of the state when it’s needed, which is the kind and worthy leader his people see but things changed when Erik first encountered Silas, something about Silas seemed similar to him in a way he did not like.
Erik really wants to believe it was the demon but Silas bore no similarity to the creature, but Erik still can’t stand the sight of Silas, which led to them fighting for the first time but to Erik’s surprise they were equal in strength.
"Take care young elf, we both are in unfamiliar territory. Our battle will continue once we both have aligned ourselves, make sure to get stronger by then as i will make sure to finish you this time" Erik remembered silas saying that before walking away.
Erik remembered standing there confused, holding tightly unto his spear but ultimately deciding to go back to his settlement and handle the problem caused by his sleep walking. That was how Erik began his change on his settlement.
Erik knew he alone was not going to be a match for the demon so he began forming his own army, once he gathered a group of capable men, Erik was then troubled on how to get the humans to become stronger. He could have thought then the way the elf uses magic but a secret of Erik holds him back from doing that.
Erik after his overall transformation was a kind and loving leader but Erik himself knows his heart well, he looks down on each and every human in his settlement whether men or women as none of them even comes close to his perfectness, his perfect skin, astonishing look and beautiful flowing hair, none of the humans had that and this is something Erik finds disgusting so deep down he thinks it’s insulting to teach the humans something that belongs to a race as perfect as him. 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝒸ℴ𝓶
Looking at the weapons on the hands of the humans Erik immediately recognized some of them as they were from his world, that was when it occurred to him maybe the weapons can be a way to strengthen the humans.
But first Erik took a look at the humans and noticed that their physical body is already full with mana as they subconsciously absorb it over time but that was all, they made no usage of the mana or break through a new realm so most humans are just only physically stronger.
That was when Erik taught them a breathing Technique he found in his memory, which officially introduced the humans to a power system as they no longer crudely use their found magical weapons.
The first stage is called the Mana Breathing Initiate: Breath Awareness allows the humans to attune their breath to the magical energies already inside of them by Practicing deep meditation to attune to the magical energies in their body. They Focus on breathing exercises to enhance breath control and awareness. gaining heightened sensory perception. The initiate at this stage experiences a minor increase in agility and reflexes.
For the second stage which is Flow apprentice: The humans Visualize the element attuned to their weapon and in sync with breathing during meditation, gradually incorporating the sensation of the element. Practice weapon drills with a magical weapon to synchronize movement is also practiced in this stage where now the human can now release controlled bursts of flame or lightning from whatever weapon they are holding. This stage also involves physical training to improve overall fitness and agility.
The third stage called Ignition Adept: The humans at this stage can now ignite the mana ignite of them which draws out the weapon’s full capability and at the same time can envelop themselves in the magical aura of the element at will, enhancing both offense and defense. For example an aura corresponding to flames at this stage enables short explosiveness in movement for the humans. At the same time practice of precision strikes with the magical weapon has to be continued.
The fourth stage is called the Blaze master: Mastery over the Elemental Breathing technique elevates the human to the Blaze Master stage. The stage is required to perform rituals to enhance the physical properties of the magical weapon, bonding with its essence, the physical properties of the magical weapon, making it sharper, more durable, and capable of withstanding more extreme level of elements which in turn grants the magical weapon gains the ability to project controlled elemental projectiles for ranged attacks.
Most of the humans are able to easily get through the First stage as they are already full of mana so now most of Erik’s men are at the second stage, none has reached the third stage yet but that can be done with time.
Erik looked out the window in his home to see the human florecking around, after Erik trained his men his population has been increasing everyday as his men are out to conquer him, Silas is also doing the same as both are in a silent battle to recruit more men to increase their power.
Looking up to the blue sky, a memory flashed in Erik’s eyes remembering the golden angel he saw saving humans from crisis, even though the angel didn’t save his people Erik for some reason couldn’t help appreciate the figure he only managed to glimpse.
"One day our path will cross again, I will make sure you to get a closer at you" Erik thought to himself as a beautiful human woman walked in walking towards him wrapping her arms around him, "For now I can make do with this humans" Erik thought to himself as he turned around to smile at the woman.
Meanwhile down at the southern continent where the demon head and main consciousness fell, he can be seen sitting in a small shed now with hands on his chin as he looked up at the sky with a disturbed expression on his face.
"Dragons" There is a dragon in this world Murmur thought to himself, he has been in this state once he got to the human settlement and was about to go wild only to hear a roar as a huge green creature he recognized flew over his head into the distance.
This made him halt everything he was about to do as he quickly reigned in his aura while calmly walking back to the home of the human it was currently possessing. It has been in deep thought this whole time, it wasn’t scared of the dragon in his full strength but it is a different case now.
Murmur still find it hard to believe that this world has a dragon in it and the civilization stage is still low, but from his further research into the case showed that the humans living here have never met a dragon or seen one before so where did this one suddenly spawn from, it impossible for the dragon to come with them as the dragon he saw wasn’t weakened.
"I don’t like this" Murmur thought to himself, origin gods, my divided consciousness and now dragons, "If this world hits me with another surprise I will really give it up and give up the coordinate of this world to the demons in the abyss in exchange for something"
Murmur thought he could handle the other two but now the new element "Dragons" has been introduced he is now hesitating, Murmur wasn’t scared of their power but knowledge, which if the origin gods of this world get their hands on will make him lose the element of surprise which is his only current advantage.
But a grin was laced upon Murmur face, the selfish trait of demons is really affecting his state and he knows that "The price of this world is really increasing, if i get this world to fall then the reward will fully put me back to my full strength and maybe even more"
"For now, i have to lay low and somehow push the human race on this continent from behind to rise up fully" Murmur hasn’t felt the presence of any god in this continent which he liked but now with the dragon, it messed up him plan on originally walking up and taking control with no fear.
"This village head wife is a good place to start if i am to gain fully control and at the same time hide my existence" Murmur walked out of his shed as he began looking for the village head wife, the village head and his wife are still young and haven’t had any child yet so for a gift Murmur will have to give the village head a worth descendant, "hahaha"
