Chapter 9.

It had already been a night and half a day since the Pontiff's Meeting and it was only a matter of hours before they arrived in town.

However in the village of Omah things seemed to be going normal, Arthur and his father were chopping down some trees with an axe near the village, the children were entering the village school and the farmers were harvesting their crops, everything looked so normal and peaceful, even with the presence of that demon girl the town could go on because she was not dangerous, although she knew how to use offensive and defensive magic and was even stronger than Arthur, she did nothing wrong, she even made friends with Misha, Carlos and Jasmine's daughter, even Arthur thought she was a good person despite being a demon.

When it was past midday and it was only a few hours before sunset, Carlos told his son a couple of things.

-Arthur, do you know the history of this Katana? -Carlos asked his son, to which Arthur could only say, "No". -This is a sword called Katana, my father, King Magnus got it from some elves on a journey of peace, this sword was blessed by the gods and special elven magic, my father killed many evil demons with it, and that is how it got its name Dēmonsureiyā "Demon slayer" in our language, and just as my father gave it to me, I give it to you, my son, as your birthday present. -Arthur was surprised and excited by such a gift from his father and amazed by such a quality sword, it had a perfect edge and weight.

-Thank you father, I will take care of it as if it were my life and with it I will protect everyone in our village! -Said Artur with great enthusiasm and a big smile of happiness on his face.

-Hahaha, I know son, but first, you must go hunt some wild boars for your birthday dinner, and if you find some monsters, kill them with your dark magic. Kill them with your darkness magic, so you learn to regulate it with the Katana, remember not to impregnate too much magic power, and if you do, the Katana will know how to regulate it.

Arthur ran to the forest that was about 300 meters away, since that was the largest forest and full of monsters that were near the village.

Arthur had been slow to find boars for dinner, but what he did find was goblins coming out of a cave, he knew from the stories of his father and mother that goblins are very dangerous, not because of their power, but because of their numbers, they reproduce very fast and are always in groups, and they are very violent when attacking, for that reason, Arthur decided to use a skill taught by his mother, exclusive of the fox Beastskins, Fox Hunt, It was a simple spell, you had to see something and you could steal it, Arthur stretched his arm and concentrated mana in the palm of his hand and then said the spell and when he said it, the goblins weapons glowed for a moment and disappeared and appeared in Arthur's hands, the goblins were surprised by the light that gave off their weapons and then disappeared, Arthur took advantage of this reaction to jump from his hiding place and quickly attack the goblins.

-Darkness Magic - Dark Cloak - Blast of Dark Cut. -Arthur was surprised, he didn't think that his slashes could split the goblins, he supposed that it was because the goblins have very little defense, and so it was, because after walking for another hour he found an igneous boar, it was a boar that gave off fire magic in just a row from its nose to its tail, Arthur thought that if he launched a dull cut as with the goblins, the boar would end up split in half, so he launched one of equal power, however, the result was not as expected, the dull cut did manage to make a deep wound to the boar and make it retreat a little, but failed to kill him, Arthur decided to attack harder, because although his attack seemed strong, in reality it was not so much, he knew it because he did not feel a great wear of mana.

-Magic of Darkness - Dark Mantle. -The boar ran at full speed towards Arthur with the intention of ramming him, Arthur waited until he was close and when he was, he jumped to his right and cast his spell. -Dark Cut! -When he cast it, he decapitated the igneous boar, now he knew what power to use to cut the flesh and bones of a magical beast, now he only needed to regulate the power to make a deep and deadly cut, so as not to dismember his prey.

MEANWHILE IN THE VILLAGE.

Carlos was preparing a bonfire in the village along with several Beastskins men to prepare a great dinner with the boars that Arthur would marry along with other things from the village to celebrate his 15th birthday.

As the sun began to set and they were preparing things, Carlos could feel many mana sources approaching, and some had incredibly high mana, he knew something bad was coming.
