Episode 7 : Against the Darkness!

After arriving home, I was greeted and after chatting with my family for a while, I went to the training area that was special for me to clear the question marks in my head.

When I arrived at the training area, I involuntarily smiled as I saw that everything was standing exactly as I left it last time.

I asked Louis, my personal servant, to bring food to the training room every day. There should always be the same time and the same meals! In addition, there should definitely not have been decorated or luxurious dishes. I wanted an ordinary and moldy dish.

After Louis left, I put everything that was in the room in front of the door. The inside of the big room was completely empty. Afterwards, I arranged a few monster corpses that I had taken from the dungeon in a mixed way. Finally, I melted the light-emitting stone of the room by lighting it with my fire.

To me, there was no short way to get stronger. They all had to be tough and prickly. No one could eat free bread!

I studied the situation when it got dark in a whole room. The fresh smell of blood, the disgusting smell of melted crystal and a dark room. A training room for full training!

I walked around the room for a while. Sometimes I tripped over the bodies I put in and fell to the ground and made myself count. At last I sat down on the floor and entered a state of meditation.

I don't know how long it's been, but I could smell a little mold. I realized that this is my daily food. Following the smell of mold, I touched the teeth of the five-meter snake I killed, and the poison flowing from its teeth covered my entire arm.

My arm was slightly numb and painful. After counting for a while, I ate my moldy food. My throat was dry from eating dry and I felt like I needed to drink water. Unfortunately, there was no water with the food.

I returned to the snake's body again and drank the blood that flowed, randomly cutting off a small part of it with my dagger.

There was a strange pleasant taste in my throat when I drank the blood. I don't know why, but I liked the taste of the blood. After drinking the blood, the smell of fresh meat came to my nose. My stomach suddenly rumbled. My body moved by itself, and I bit the bloody raw meat. My teeth ripped out the flesh just like a beast of prey. I sat chewing meat with a feeling of hunger in my stomach.

After a while I swallowed the raw meat. My stomach felt like it was relaxing. So I didn't eat any more and I went back to a meditation state.

When I opened my eyes again, the smell of mold had come to my nose again. However, I did not want to eat it, and I stood up and drew my sword. While I was in the dark, I decided to develop new techniques. This time it should have been more wild and rude.

I raised my right foot and when I took my first step, my instincts kicked in. I gripped my sword tightly and drew a horizontal intersection as if I were cutting someone's throat. Then, with the momentum I got, I lifted my left foot and turned my body around. When my left foot reached ninety degrees in front of my right foot, I turned my sword and moved between my chest and arm like a Decoy stalking a person behind me.

From the last of my incessant movements, I finally entered a state of enlightenment. An opponent appeared in front of me, blocking my every attack. I activated my brute force and savage technique to defeat him.

Every time I swung my sword, the sound of the wind tearing rang in my ears. My movements got faster and faster, and I started laughing like a madman. The pleasant feeling inside me made me laugh. Fighting and swinging swords seemed to be my only purpose in the world.

The invincible opponent in front of me began to get injured, and from time to time he himself began to attack. But I was attacking before I let him attack. The war between the two of us was only a one-sided war at Dec moment! I was the one who ruled this war!!!

During our encounter, when I was hungry, I would take a few steps back and eat bloody raw snake meat. Over time, the wind began to follow me now, and it enveloped me like an armor. I wish someone outside could see me right now. When I moved, he would see that the wind, which looked like me, made the same movement as me...

I swung my sword and swung it. My arm is slowly starting to hurt now. My right arm had already become numb before, but the excitement of the war made me shake my arm as if it were free of poison.

I don't know how long it had been, but the poison was completely affecting my body now. My heart ached and my head was spinning. I was weak and my bones were crunching incessantly.

The opponent in front of me finally caught a deficit against me and attacked me. I couldn't see the attack with my blurred eyes and I had a three-inch cut on the left side of my abdomen. Then I was confronted with another attack. And this time he tried to amputate my calf. I barely saved my calf, but it caused the sword in his hand to get stuck in my foot.

All my feelings were crazy with pain. Suddenly, there was no trace of my powerless state, and I grasped my opponent's throat with the palm of my left hand. Then I dropped the sword in my right hand and turned my hand into a fist. When my hand moved, my heart seemed to move. My magic power was running around my body like crazy. When my rock-hard fist hit my opponent's face, it came out of the palm of my left hand with a growl and left a big mark on the wall of the training room.

My eyes were getting used to the dark, so I could see around a little bit. My idle left hand moved involuntarily and went towards my stomach, where I received a wound. The tip of my fingers was smeared with my own blood.

Maybe it was a curiosity, maybe it was an instinct, I don't know, but I put my thumb in my mouth and licked my blood. My whole body started shaking when my blood flowed through my throat. Excitement? Was it crazy? No! I triggered something. My blood fire has warmed my body. I felt like I was being supported by a force I couldn't understand. It was as if I was reliving the feelings I felt on the first day of my awakening...

(3.viewpoint)

Aiden's hair was slowly turning from a red color to a white color. His bright golden-yellow eyes turned into blood color, and a scarlet flame formed on his hands. When the scarlet flames appeared on their hands, their nails tapered and blackness appeared, spreading like a virus. Then these blacknesses spread to his arm and he stood on his shoulder.

A frightening imprint covered the manor, which belonged to the Scarlet family. The low-level servants knelt down holding their throats. They looked as if they couldn't breathe. The rest were just feeling the pressure. The feeling that this pressure gave them was even more frightening than the pressure that a beast of prey gave them. It was almost like waking up from a demon's nest...

Maria, who was practicing in the open field, turned her head to Aiden's private room when she felt the aura. He was able to immediately identify the source of the aura. In the same way, he found it immediately in Hans and Asia. However, none of them moved towards it. There were two reasons for this. The first was when Aiden told them not to go into the private room no matter what. And the second was the threat from the frightening edition! When they got there, they doubted if they could survive. So they just tried to lighten the aura on them...

(1.Aiden's Point of View)

The strong feeling that surrounded my body gave me strength again and I attacked the opponent in front of me. There were things nor a gun in my hand. The only thing I trusted was my blood fire on my hands!

I got punched with a fire. When he hit my opponent, my entire private room was torn apart. I had only thrown one punch and my magic power had been completely absorbed. And this one told me that there is a lot of cost for this power. I could use this technique only and only in difficult situations!

And when I defeated the opponent, an aura was added that covered the four auras that I spread around me. This aura was gloomy and frightening. Yes, this aura had a name in ancient books... Aura of Darkness!!!
