My Demon Hunting System

Chapter 39: The successor of the 1st Warrior

Almita lifted her lips, and while looking at Ary, she asked,

"Now, do you understand, Master?"

Ary was in a daze. Not because he got kissed by her, but because he understood something that he didn't think of.

He glanced at Almita, saying,

"So...does that mean...I'm..."

Then, he opened his palms and, while looking around himself, he claimed,

"I'm...the successor of the 1st Warrior..."

He still didn't believe it. He thought that he was dreaming, but it wasn't a dream at all.

"Yes,"

Almita nodded.

"And that's why the Demon King attacked your family."

Almita added.

Ary was in a daze, pondering,

'I'm...his successor. The successor of the 1st Warrior...'

He didn't know that his parents were warriors until the day of tragedy had come.

But to think that he was the successor of the Warrior, who defeated the Demon King with just a swing of his blade, put Ary in a daze.

"Master."

Almita called out.

"Y-Yeah?"

Ary reacted as he shifted his gaze to Almita.

Almita smiled at him, clarifying,

"You still have a long way to go to be like your ancestor."

Then, she raised her head and, while looking toward the above, she said,

"That's why you have to train mentally as well."

"Yeah, Senior said that. But..."

Ary called out, then, while looking around, he asked,

"What is this place? And what's with these auras?"

After hearing his query, while raising her arms, Almita commented,

"This is your consciousness, Master."

Then, she shifted her gaze to Ary and said,

"A place for your relaxation..."

Then, she flew closer to him, saying,

"A place...to empty your mind..."

"H-Huh?"

Ary reacted as she leaned closer to his face.

While placing her right index finger over Ary's lips, Almita finished her words, saying,

"A place...where you have to find... peace of mind."

Then, she placed her both palms over Ary's cheek, saying,

"That's why..."

Then, she touched Ary's forehead with hers and said, while closing her eyes,

"Calm down and forget about everything for a while...focus on yourself...treasure...your true power..."

Ary closed his eyes with a "Hmm," response and began focusing around the middle of his forehead.

Swoosh!

Some energy surrounded him and Almita and started circling them.

"Master...awaken your bloodline."

Almita said in her honey-like voice.

"Hmm."

Ary responded.

His body began heating up and the energy around them started collecting around Ary.

He felt like fire was all around him.

He saw a glimpse in which fire was surrounding an area.

A man wielding a black blade gaze at the sky with a blank expression.

'You're...'

Ary called out as he felt like he was standing there.

That man gazed at Ary.

After a while, he smiled and said,

'How good it feels to see you finally grown up, Ary.'

'...?!'

Ary's eyes widened after hearing this (though he didn't open his eyes since he saw that person in the darkness in front of his eyes.)

"Ah!"

Ary opened his eyes and found Almita in front of him.

Almita stepped a little backward as she understood the situation.

She forwarded his right hand, saying,

"Let's go, Master."

Ary glanced at her.

Soon, a smile formed on his face. He grabbed her hand, saying,

"Yes, let's go."

SWISH!

Soon enough, endless darkness appeared again.

"I beg you, Senior. Lemme go..."

In a wobbly voice, Mike said, while dragging to run away.

He got beaten by Kashi during training and he had no strength left to walk that's why he was trying to drag himself away.

Sigh!

Kashi sighed and while showing a pitiful expression to Mike, he said,

"Are you really a Warrior? You're worse than even Emily."

"It's because of you..."

Mike said with a cry-like expression.

He slowly reached out his right hand toward his face and while caressing his face, he said while weeping,

"Look at my handsome face. I look so terrifying."

"Yeah, you look exactly like a goblin."

Kashi commented while folding his arms.

"Not fair..."

Mike said while weeping and slamming his right hand to the grass.

Sigh!

While placing his right palm over his face, Kashi sighed, pondering,

'He is more like a cry baby than a Warrior.'

Then, he put his right hand in his right pocket and picked out a spherical pill.

He glanced at Mike and said,

"Take this."

Then, he tossed it toward Mike, adding,

"Eat it and you'll be better."

"Uh?"

Mike reacted, then he dragged himself a little forward and picked up the pill, and put it in his mouth.

Gulp!

He gulped down the pill and within a second, his wounds recovered.

"Eh?"

He reacted as he felt like the pain in his body had vanished.

He got up and looked around himself, saying,

"Wh-What's this?! I'm all healed!"

He caressed his face and his swollen face had turned back to normal.

"Even my face turned back to normal?!"

Mike freaked out.

"No need to be surprised. Just get up already."

Kashi commanded.

"Yes!"

Mike got in a scared voice.

He thought that Kashi healed his wounds so that he could train him more brutally.

Mike's body was shivering in fear of being beaten up again.

Mike's fear was noticed by Kashi.

He narrowed his gaze and called,

"Listen, Mike."

"Y-Yes?"

Mike reacted while standing straight.

Kashi raised his left index finger, saying,

"If you stay feared like this, then you'll never be able to be a Warrior. To be a Warrior, you have to forget about the fear of getting hurt. Pain should be your best friend, and you should never be afraid of it. Warriors' lives aren't easy. It's full of sacrifices and struggle."

"...."

Mike was left in a daze after hearing all this.

He started to understand what Kashi was trying to say.

Kashi showed a smile to Mike, then stepped forward and placed his right palm over Mike's left shoulder.

"Hmm?"

Mike raised his head to look at Kashi.

Kashi, while smiling, commented,

"You have the potential to succeed. Just don't let fear get in the way of achieving your true potential. Got it?"

Mike widened his eyes as he understood the concept.

He lowered his gaze and said while nodding,

"I understand, Senior. I'll try to do my best."

"That's good. Well, pick up your scythe now."

Kashi commanded.

"Yes,"

Mike, with a look full of motivation, agreed, and then picked up his scythe that was lying on the ground.

"Good."

Kashi said then he took out his blade from the scabbard, saying,

"Now, only try to defend yourself."

"Hmm. Got it."

Mike responded then tightened the grip of his scythe.

"Here I come—"

Kashi said as he was about to run toward Mike.

Unfortunately,

SWISH!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

A massive amount of energy burst out from the left side.

"Hmm?!"

"Wha—?!"

Both Kashi and Mike shifted their gaze to their left and glimpsed a massive amount of purple energy bursting out toward the sky like a volcano.

"Is that..."

Kashi called out as he realised who it was.

Swoosh!

The energy vanished and with a breathtaking sound, Ary was seen.

He looked around himself with a smile, saying,

"I'm all fired up."

***

While they were fighting in Kashi's realm, the girls were having a hard time during their fight with Mai.

"Come on, girls. One more try."

Mai said in her playful voice.

Gasp! Gasp! Gasp!

All three of them while gasping.

Even Erica and Mary were fighting since Mai told them to.

"M-Miss Mai...you're...so strong."

Mary called out while gasping.

"W-We can't be able to do it anymore..."

While gasping, Emily said.

Mai giggled after hearing their command, saying,

"That's not good. You three still can. Use the power of your crest."

Erica had her Warrior crest on her chest. While Emily had the crest on her right thigh, Mary had the crest above her navel area.

After seeing them exhausted, Mai smiled, then, raised her right arm, saying,

"Enough of the unarmed combat."

Swish!

A blade appeared in her right arm. She commented with a smile,

"Let's have some armed combat now."
