Takeshi Haruka POV:
Location: TradeheavenVillage -
I just got back into the Tradeheaven Village, I headed towards the library to find a sealing books.
I went up to the librarian to ask for the magic section.
"Can you tell me where to magic section is at?"
"Hmm section #9 you can find magic books there."
The librarian said.
"Thank you."
I thanked the librarian as I walked towards book section #9 , there I was looking for books about sealing. There I spotted a book that had what I might be looking for.
Magic Seals-
I quickly scanned the book, I realized some of this are dog shit they are basic seals for people learning.
Well that was a waste of time, hmm maybe I could create a magic seal. I then remembered some of the books included Binding, Sealingattack and Soulsealing.
Soul sealing-The power to seal souls inside a body, item or any other kind of object.
Binding-The power to bind, imprisonorotherwisestop targets.
Sealing attacks-The ability to release/use seals/sealing power for various attacks.
I could create a sealing with these information, I just need a weapon of some kind to enchant them on.
I got an idea.
I then returned the magic seal book back where I found it and left the library.
Location:TanakaTrades- Tradestore-
"Welcome in.. ah it's you, young sir."
"What monster crops are you going to turn in."
The shop owner said cheerfully and fully confident that I had trades to make.
"Do you have a bull whip?"
I asked the shop owner.
"Kids these days have weird taste."
The shop owner made a comment that had a double meaning to it, but I'll ignore it.
"Yup I have one."
The shop owner says as he goes into the back of what I assume is Storage room.
The shop owner comes back with the rope whip.
"Here you go young sir. Anything else for you."
The shop owner placed the bull whip on the counter and offered with something else.
"Yes! A map that covers all of Isvan from the North,South,West, East all of the regions of Isvan."
I said.
"Very well I have four maps of Isvan that include North, South, West and East regions of Isvan.
The shop owner said splitting the types of maps Isvan had on each region.
"That will do."
I said to the shop owner.
"Okay young sir the total will be 3,500 jewels."
I then handed the 3,500 jewels over to the shop owner and claimed my purchases.
"Thank you."
I said as I put all the maps in my Shadowstorage and picked up the bull whip.
(Shadowstorage:The power to seal items into your shadow.)
"Your welcome come back anytime!"
The shop owner said with a cheerful smile.
I walked out the front door of the shop and proceeded to go at the local blacksmith.
Location:SwordsmanBlacksmith-
I was in front of the Blacksmith that specializes in swords. I walked over to a blacksmith and asked, as I pull out the 36 inch long Oxnoid horn from my Shadowstorage (A+ quality ).
"Can you make a sword out of this?"
"T..Th..This material is at least (A+).
The blacksmith was shocked in such quality.
" I could make a sword with this,but I lack more materials at least with similar qualities."
The blacksmith answered with absolute confidence on making the sword just needed the raw components.
I then pulled out more of the 12 feet tall Oxnoid crops from my Shadowstorage.
"Here it's the flesh armor skin of a 12 feet tall Oxnoid."
I said.
"Th..This could work however I need more metal components."
I then also pulled out all (8) metal weapons from the Oxnoids that I eliminated from job quests (4).
"Here metal components."
I said to the blacksmith.
" This will do."
The blacksmith said.
"How long should I expect for this to be finished?"
I asked some what impatient.
"I could finish making the sword today, however it's best if I do two whole days of work to make it 100% (A+) sword or maybe (S) 10% sword."
The blacksmith said with absolute certainly about the sword quality (A+).
"Very well two whole days it's."
I said, but before I left the blacksmith I chimed in with saying.
"Also don't, I repeat don't sell the sword or giveitaway."
I said with a little warning, in case the blacksmith wanted to sell it for a high price.
"O…O..Of course NOT!"
The blacksmith said while getting the message I was trying to say. With that I left to go to the village guild.
Location:Gareth Ironstride Gulid-
I was at the front desk of the guild manager I then asked.
"Any bandits job request?"
"Hmm I do in fact have three bandit job requests."
1.) reports of bandits(rumors of 15)South from here about 6 kilometers out in a forest .(Rank B)
2.) reports of bandits West from here about 10 kilometers near mountain terrain.(Rank C+)
3.) reports of confirm bandits (25) spotted East 8 kilometers away from here in a base camp.(Rank B+)
" I'll take all three of them."
I said to the guild manager.
"Very well then, same contract applies from before 60/40 split price,but before you go please take this 3 Lacrima signal flares, break them to active then a bandit hunting squad will be sent your way.
The manager reminded me the contract rules of the 60/40 split which in my opinion wasn't the worst deal and handed me 3 Lacrima .
Location:Outside Tradeheaven Village-
I'm just outside of Tradeheaven Village, I was in the woods crafting my new seal, with the bull whip.
10 minutes later-
Ten minutes went by and I finally finished the seal, only one major flaw I needed to charge my bull whip with moonlight Spirit, until it needs to recharge for now it doesn't.
New seal crafted-
name of spell: Kagami-no-Satori (Mirror of Discernment)
Name of tool: Shinjitsu no Muchi (Whipof Truth)
Type of magic: Jingi (Divine Tool Magic), Soul Binding, and Onmyōdō Constraint
The Judgment Mechanism:
Binding: When the whip makes contact, the wielder inwardly invokes the judgment of the Underworld.
The Lie: If the target attempts to speak a falsehood, the Kagami-no-Satorienchantment immediately triggers a resonance between the spoken word and the pure light of the soul.
Infliction:
PhysicalPain (The Lash of Enma) MentalPain (The Mirror's Glare)
Duration: The enchantment is permanent on the whip. The binding effect lasts until the target speaks the full truth or the wielder ceases the casting/unwinds the whip.
Castingcooldown: For Enchantment: 7 days of continuous meditation and channeling, culminating under the light of a new moon.
(Author note: yeah... I know… it's basically the Lasso of Truth.)
Now the flaw was purposely meant to be there otherwise, my seal would have been destroyed , so instead of just making new ones, it's best to recharge them with spirit energy/force of the moon.
Now then with this new seal, I'll be able to catch people(humanoid creatures) in lies.
I put the Shinjitsu no Muchi (Whipof Truth) whip back into my Shadowstorage.
I then pulled out my compass and looked towards the direction of the needle North point is pointing towards , now that I'm facing North I turned around to face South.
I go South from here to go complete job quest (1.) since it's 6 kilometers away.
(Authornote:blood/gore will be used.)
5 minutes later-
I'm just about 7 kilometers away South from Tradeheaven village, where I'd sense 18 life forms.
Since I didn't have any weapons on me, I have to use my fist and more magic than necessary.
Still I casted ShadowStealth, to hide my presence and to slip in between shadows.
(ShadowStealth:The power to hide within the shadows.)
I approach a bandit (1) who was reliving on a tree. I then snuck up behind them then covered their mouth with my right hand then proceeded to snap the neck.
•snap
Bandit(2): "Man no travelers or merchant traders have been passing by."
Bandit(2) said talking to bandit (1) who doesn't realize what to bandit (1)
Since bandit (2) was facing away from bandit (1) it made my job easier by sneaking up behind them then covered their mouth then snap their neck.
•snap
2 bandit dead 14 more bandits to go, I then searched the two dead bandits for weapons, they didn't have any. They did have jewels combined (9,387).
I won't keep the money I'll give all the money I collected from the bandits to the guild as the proof of job done. I grabbed a money pouch that could seal jewels inside.
I then moved towards bandits (3,4,5,6) the four bandits who'd been on the lookout for anyone intruders.
I made my presence known by shouting in a some what scared tone.
"I..I ..F…Found two D..D..Dead bodies outside!"
Bandits:!?!?
Bandit (3) looks at bandit (4) they give a knowing look.
Bandit(4): "We will go check it out, you two check on the kid."
Bandit (4) refers to bandits (5,6)
Bandit (6):" so kid how'd you stumble upon here."
Bandit (6) said walking towards me and bandit (5) followed along
"I..I got lost running away from home."
I said as they got closer to me as they got closer bandit (6) pulls out a small knife.
Bandit(6): "well that's to bad k…"
•suffocation
•slice
The bandit didn't get to finish his sentence because I snatched the knife from him and sliced his throat. I moved faster than bandit (5) could move or see as I covered their mouth then stabbed them in the heart.
•stab
4 dead, 14 to go, I moved towards the direction bandits (3,4) went. I spotted them, I quickly used ShadowStealth, to move in behind them.
"They really are dead."
Bandit(3) said.
I grabbed a rock from the ground and then threw it towards a bush to make rattle noise.
•crackle
"Go check that out!"
Bandit (4) says some what bothered ordering bandit (3).
I moved in behind bandit (4) who doesn't have a clue what's about to happen.
I covered the mouth then sliced open the throat.
•slice
•gushing
I then moved in behind bandit (3).
Bandit(3): "Man why do I got to do what he says it's annoying!"
I walked behind them and said.
"You won't have to ever again."
Bandit(3): "W..What are y.."
They didn't finish as I stabbed them in the heart.
•stab
•gush
6 dead 12 more to go, I say as made my way over to the next life forces I sense.
I was then met with a small campsite of bandits, I then focused all my mana into pure speed, while passing through shadows.
Bandit(7) didn't see it coming right in the back of the head.
•pierce
Bandit (8) saw what happened and was going to call out, but I covered the mouth then stabbed in the heart.
•stab
•gush
Bandit (9) had headphones on, didn't hear the commotion, I approached them.
•stab
•pierce
•gush
I stabbed them in the back piercing right through their spine. I moved towards bandit (10) who was to busy smoking a cigarette to notice anything. I covered their mouth from behind then slice the throat.
•slice
•gush
Bandit (11) was shock to see all of the
bodies on the floor.
Bandit (11): Who did thi…"
•stab
Bandit (11) didn't get to finish talking as I stabbed her in the heart.
I moved towards bandits (12,13,14) since they're the closest to me.
I grabbed a rock then tossed it directly at (12) to alert them.
•thud
Bandit (12):" Whose there!"
Bandit (13 and 14):?!?!
Bandit (13):"should we sound the alarm?"
Bandit (14):"what if someone is pulling a prank?"
Bandit(12): "well whoever it was is going to get a beating."
Bandit (12) said walking towards the place I was at when I tossed the rock. I then grabbed another rock this time threw it with more force straight into the eye socket of bandit (13).
Bandit (13):"Ahh. Shit My eye I can't see! I can't see!"
Bandit (14): "what's happening!"
I then moved in towards bandit (14 and 13) I stabbed bandit (14) in the throat.
•stab
•gush
I then moved towards the shock bandit (13) then sliced the throat.
•slice
•gush
•gush
Then with my mana I channeled all my mana into physical strength then threw the knife straight into the opened mouth of bandit (12).
•pierce
•thud
Now 4 more bandits left.
I moved towards the main tent of the campsite, where all of the mana is being detected, however I noticed something strange about two of the mana I'm sensing.
It's two mana signatures from the orphanage raid. I remember them, finally what I have been looking for.
I casted 6 Water SwordBeamEmission:
All six of my swords hovered in front of me two slightly on my sides.
(SwordBeamEmission: Release water blasts from swords and other such bladed weapons.)
I walked inside the tent, I immediately launched two swords at bandit (15)
One sword pierced their left leg another sword pierced them in the stomach.
•pierce
•pierce
That will leave them dead in 3 minutes if not treated.
Now for bandit (16) I launch two more swords however each sword lands directly into their chest.
•pierce
•pierce
That should've killed them however they are still on their knees. So with the two water swords ,I used WaterBombGeneration, to explode.
•Boom
(WaterBombGeneration: Create bombs/explosions of water.)
Bandit (16) died in a brutal and horribly death.
Now for bandits (17 and 18)
"It'sbeenawhilehasn't it."
I said everyword with puremalice.
They've both froze on the spot, they haven't recovered from all the shock that's been building up since my presence.
I launch my last swords into each individual, however before they connect I then split the two swords into four knife (8) pieces.
•stab
•stab
All eight knive pieces connected not damaging them ,but by transforming into a BindingWhip.
(Bindingwhip:A whip that seals off mana.)
Now that I have them where I want them to be, I turn and look at bandit (15) who manages to stand up and get into a fighting stance.
However since he didn't remove the two water swords, that where pierce through his body, I then Hovered my hand over to them then with the water still attached to him, I then channeled spikes into the water swords.
•stab
•stab
•thud
They finally fell down, I then pulled out Shinjitsu no Muchi (Whipof Truth) whip from my Shadowstorage.
"Now then you both are going to tell me everything you two know about that bitch.
Who was with you guys on the raid and everyone you know behind the raids of the other orphanages in other villages."
I said everythingwithabsolutemalice in my tone.
