Dark Killer, magic training

"Dark Killer? I remember you mentioned it before too. What's that?"

Flavio looked at Laevateinn, who was sitting quietly on the sofa, listening to the conversation between Egun and Flavio.

"Mm? Is something wrong?"

"Hehe, it's okay. Miss, why don't you answer that question?"

Flavio gave the crimson girl a significant smile. She bowed her head and opened her mouth slightly. Egun thought internally: "Kawaii..."

"A Dark Killer... is a Dark Killer"

Egun and Flavio hit their foreheads against the table. What kind of response was that?

"Miss Laevateinn, can you take this a little more seriously?"

"But I don't know any other way to explain it. To be honest, I don't have any memory since I woke up in Master's hands."

"So that's the case, that doesn't help at all."

Flavio sighed.

"A Dark Killer is a spiritual weapon found at the top of spiritual weapons, a divine weapon among divine weapons. A Dark Killer is the divine weapon that accompanies each of the infernal princes and shares the burden of their deadly sins. Lucifer represents the capital sin of pride, so his Dark Killer has to share the same sin."

Flavius looked at Laevateinn. She was lying on Egun's lap with her eyes closed. Egun also looked at Laevateinn, exasperated at the way she was behaving.

"Are you saying that Laevateinn was my father's weapon?"

Egun noticed that detail. If each prince represented a capital sin and his Dark Killer shared it, wouldn't Laevateinn be his father's companion if she represented the sin of pride?

"No, you're wrong. Laevateinn is your companion, and you are her only companion. Every new generation of a capital sin has a Dark Killer."

"What happens to the Dark Killer when the demon dies?"

"Disappear. The lives of both are connected from the moment the contract is formed."

Egun frowned and looked at Laevateinn. She was resting placidly on his lap. Was she a Dark Killer, a weapon carrying a capital sin? Why would she link her existence with someone as weak as he?

Laevateinn opened her eyes.

"Don't worry, Master. The bearer that I, Laevateinn, have chosen, is a star among stars, a man among men, a demon among demons and a god among gods. Your talent is the best. Your strength is going to be the greatest. No one can compare to my Master, not now, not in the past, and not in the future. And I, as your weapon, am the spear between the spears, the spiritual weapon between spiritual weapons and the divine weapon between divine weapons, there is nothing that can offer you a power comparable to mine. I am Laevateinn, the staff of destruction, the weapon that will start the Ragnarok, the one feared by the gods, and you; you are my bearer, the man whose name will shake the seas and scare the gods, you are the man who will stand at the top of all. Gods, humans, angels, and demons; all will prostrate themselves before you. You are my destined person, and I am your predestined weapon. Together we are invincible."

She was caressing Egun's cheek with her delicate fingers. Egun's lips curved slightly.

"Yes, you're right."

Laevateinn smiled sweetly and closed her eyes again. Egun began to caress her hair. He felt extremely familiar with this girl as if a connection united them. Maybe it was the contract Flavio was talking about. He looked at Flavio, his face serious and eyes full of determination.

"How do I improve myself?"

"Haha, that's what I'm here for. Give me a year, and I will make you the most powerful infernal prince, give me a decade and the gods will fear you, give me a century, and I will make you the most powerful existence in this world."

Flavius smiled confidently.

…

"Let's start with the concept of magic. What's magic? Magic is the ability to manipulate manna, celestial energy, or demonic energy, depending on the person who wants to use this magic. Imagination comes into play here, as well as having great knowledge in solving equations. I know the level you have in mathematics, and it is more than enough for magic."

"To begin with, I want you to concentrate on feeling the demonic energy that runs through your body."

"Where am I supposed to feel it?"

In the courtyard of Egun's house, Flavio was teaching Egun the principles of magic. Egun was sitting in a lotus position in the middle of the courtyard, and Flavio was beside him. Laevateinn was sitting on a bench, watching the training with interest.

"You can see the aura of others, aren't you? So, can you see your own?"

"No, I can't see my own aura."

To Flavio's question, Egun had a clear answer. From the first day he had seen the colors around people, he had been looking to see if he found color on his body.

As for these colors that he saw around people, they were traces of mana that they had in their body and that they could not control. They weren't magicians, so they didn't even know about manna and how to control it. The true magicians would control their mana so that other magicians couldn't feel it.

Luna Crowley was an exception. She did not bother to hide her aura and showed it to the outside without problems. Perhaps it is because of her position as a representative of Golden Dawn or her pride as a number one talent.

"Mmm, I thought I could make it easier, but nothing happens. Let's use the traditional method. You have to close your eyes and look for 'something' in your body. I can't tell you exactly what it is, because there are no words to describe it. It's something that belongs to your body, but it doesn't belong at the same time."

Egun nodded and closed his eyes to concentrate.

"Take your time. It may take a minute, five minutes, or even days or months. Here it doesn't matter how much talent you have, just luck."

Egun didn't answer. He was already concentrating while looking for that 'something' Flavio was talking about.

Egun searched.

Egun searched.

Egun searched.

Egun was searching, but... How the hell was he going to feel anything!

Egun opened his eyes and was surprised to see that it was already night. How many hours had passed?

"You've woken up, Master."

A crimson color covered his vision.

"How long have I been here, Leavateinn?"

"Well... about seven hours. I was going to wake you up, but you woke up all by yourself. Moo, Master, I wanted to wake you up by kissing you. In the style of the 'ugly sleeper'."

"The ugly sleeper?"

"Yes! That movie in which the prince saves the princess who has been cursed with a kiss."

"You mean Sleeping Beauty."

"Yes! How expected of Master! You're so smart. If there were an attribute of intelligence, Laeva-chan wouldn't hesitate to give you an infinite score."

Sigh. Egun didn't know what to do with this girl. She had given an impressive speech before, and now she was behaving like an idiot.

"How did it go?"

Flavio entered the courtyard and asked Egun.

"Impossible. How do you want me to find something if you don't even tell me what to find?"

Flavio shrugged at Egun's ironic question.

"Well, today doesn't seem to be your lucky day. You don't have to worry, sooner or later you'll feel it."

Egun shook his head.

"Worried? You're wrong. I haven't doubted at any time that I'll ever be able to feel this 'something' you're talking about. I just feel disappointed, not being able to do it in the first attempt."

Egun got up and entered the house.

….

The next day. Egun was on his way to school. Flavio had gone back wherever he lived the night before after dinner. Laevateinn had been left at home while Egun was attending school.

Arriving in the classroom, Egun was greeted by the usual disgusted gaze of his female classmates, something he was more than used to. He glimpsed Zelig and Flavio, they were in a corner at the back of the class, chatting quietly as they covered their mouths with their hands.

Looking at the gleam in both their eyes and realizing that they were looking at the skirts of the girls in the class, Egun was able to guess more or less the content of their conversation.

"Good morning."

Egun greeted them.

"Egun-kun! Come here, Flavio and I are having a transcendental conversation."

"Exactly! This is the ultimate argument! It will decide the future of humanity!"

Egun got serious. One of them was a werewolf, and the other was a high-level demon. Egun could no longer see them as a pair of common perverts.

"I'm all ears."

Zelig and Flavius looked at each other. Zelig nodded and looked Egun in the eyes. His gaze was dangerous and penetrating, as expected of a werewolf.

"The question is this: You're the last man on earth, and you only have a few hours to live. Can you see the stage?"

Egun nodded.

"In front of you, you have two women who have surpassed the age of 16. On the one hand, you have a legal loli, and on the other hand, you have a gorgeous onee-sama. If you had to leave offspring to prevent humanity from becoming extinct, which of the two would you choose?"

Yes, these two were a werewolf and a high-level demon. Egun could no longer see them as a pair of common perverts.

Wait.

They were never common perverts. They were rotten inside from the day he met them.

"Are you fools?"

Seeing that Egun was looking down on them, both perverts were enraged. They threw themselves at him and grabbed him by the neck.

"Fools? You're the fool! This is the future of humanity we are talking about! The next generation needs a big-breasted onee-san who can take care of the baby and raise it properly."

It is Zelig who defends the onee-san.

"Shut up, you idiot! Obviously, it has to be the loli. Having a weak and helpless mother will awaken the next man's protective instincts, forcing him to be stronger to protect his mother-loli."

It was Flavio who defended the lolis.

"You guys are really stupid..."

Bang!

Before the two could get angry again, Egun hit them on the head with both fists.

"Don't you see the root of the problem? What if the kid is not a man, but a woman?"

"Eh?"

It seemed that the two had not thought of that. They had only looked for a question to make Egun lean to one side, and they were not going to allow him to escape without answering. Egun's question took them completely by surprise.

"That's why, to have a better chance of having a son, I, Ryujin Egun, would fuck both of them."

"As expected of Egun-sama," Flavius muttered.

"Hum-hum," Zelig agreed with him.

"Kyaaa!" There was no lack of shouting from the female classmates who heard them.
