A week passed by and Vesper had barely been seen by anyone, he turned down the company of Aurora and Catherine and wandered into the city, often times he returned with different herbs and stayed in his room.
It was exactly a week now and Vesper stood at the balcony watching the sunrise, He had undergone the body refinement over and over, cleansing his body into perfection, his body looking so gentle but carried a vigour that could be related with wild beasts, his aura had undergone a tremendous change and now he was like a bird out of its cage.
As he stood he noticed the presence of a usual visitor this past week, the Sage of Light, Gandalf Ashborn.
"Old man, you are here again." Vesper said with a smile.
"Brat, do you know how many people wish for me to be in their presence daily, sigh, the privileged sure are arrogant."
"Hehe, relax, now I have gained another improvement in my martial cultivation, I want to use this next week to grasp the true weapon intent." Vesper said with a smile.
"Tch, you are a monster, I have never met anyone who gains enlightenment as easy as you, it is as if the universe favours you." Gandalf said with a false tired expression.
"Don't be jealous, I am a one in a billion year genius." Vesper replied smugly.
Ptui
"Shameless brat, I will watch you from my tower, and you should be careful, do not strain your mind." Gandalf said and vanished.
'Hehe, what a caring old man."
Vesper walked into his room and shut the doors, he picked up his inscriber and drew a rune on a talisman and channelled mana into it as it floated and formed a barrier.
Sitting down he closed his eyes and summoned multiple weapons around him, all of them were normal ordinary weapons but when his hand grazed on them, they seemed to beam with a unique radiance.
Sword, Spear, Axe, Hammer, Bow, Sabre, Staff, Scythe, Mace, Dagger, Whip, there was every single type of weapon, from ranged to mid ranged to melee.
All laid across Vesper who closed his eyes meditating, after a few hours he stood up and the weapons floated around he and with a step a grabbed a weapon and demonstrated its basic moves, turn after turn he changed weapons and his movements were fluid, soon it was like he never changed weapons.
The fluidity he wielded each weapon was incredible, if anyone watched him they could only call it the actions of gods, this was beyond the realm of mortals.
All of a sudden his hair which was scattered started floating and then it was like he became one with all the weapons.
He did not need to hold the weapons again, using his body and movements he synchronised with the weapons, and that is when a memory surfaced.
Vesper saw himself in a battlefield, every being on the battlefield were giants, he was like an ant in comparison to size, and there was a male who had multiple hands, each hand held a weapon, and he slaughtered through the battlefield.
The male was like the God of war, no one survived wherever he passed, alone he faced thousands of giants with hideous looks.
Watching the giant fight, for hours Vesper seemed to grasp a sort of authority, but then he could not comprehend it fully, but seeing the giant fight, it was like the whole battle field was under the control of the male giant with many hands.
Like it had dominion over the battlefield, no matter how many opponents it faced, no matter what tactics they used, it controlled the flow of the battle.
Then Vesper closed his eyes upon opening his eyes he saw the giant glance at him, then it smiled menacingly.
"That is what it means to become an Asura, or as you call it a weapon master, it is Dominion." the giant said.
"I am Albion, I hope to see you soon friend."
As it spoke to Vesper, he woke up from the trance and found that he was still in his room, but at that moment he could feel a calling from outside.
As soon as Vesper went outside, the clouds rumbled and a lightening bolt struck.
Vesper crashed against the wall due to the force but sustained no damage, and then raising his head he saw the clouds gathering and rumbling, with a sadistic smile he lunged forward and all the weapons with him in the room appeared with him in the sky.
Everyone in the capital city was attracted to the commotion, Gandalf appeared before the palace with a Tiger by his side, Marcus appeared beside him and his bond beast, a Mountain Owl appeared beside him.
"To think this boy caused a tribulation, just what on earth did he do?" Marcus said.
The whole Capital city watched as Vesper stood in the sky with the weapons around him.
The lightening struck and he grabbed the spear and struck back clashing, he was flung backwards and found his footing in the space above him.
The he picked up the sword and dashed slicing as a wave of energy went through the clouds.
A man who sat in the slums at the edge of the capital widened his eyes in shock, "That was a sword Aura, another martial cultivator, but with all the weapons surrounding him, could he be the Martial God?"
In a flash the man vanished, and just like him multiple powerful auras in the capital city appeared in the sky watching Vesper challenge the tribulation.
While they were in awe, Diane trembled as she saw this, then she vanished appearing by Marcus' side, "That boy is going through the weapon tribulation, he wishes to become a weapon master."
As soon as she said this all the powerful warriors were stunned.
"How old is this child?"
"Isn't that the Soldier Prince?"
"It does look like him, does the universe finally show him pity?"
Only Gandalf remained quiet, he was completely taken by surprise, it has been five days since Vesper entered close door cultivation, and the brat actually succeeded, this was a monster in human form.
As they muttered Vesper roared in defiance, he could feel the tribulation question his authority?
It questioned his qualifications, and that made him feel rage, his blood boiled as he raised his hand and all the weapons lined up together, bringing his hands down, a chaotic aura emerged from his body and scattered the tribulation, then a blue light fell from the clouds and landed in Vespers mind palace.
Vesper fell unconscious as the last strike took everything he had and fell, only to be caught by Gandalf.
"You all may leave now, my student needs to rest."
Another uproar occurred, Vesper the Soldier Prince was a student to the Sage of Light, the Guardian of the Velentia Empire.
And then a man stepped forward.
"Your excellency, may I visit the young lord when he recovers, I would like to speak with him."
