40 Another Awakening

Dodging one after another, he slowly but surely closed up on Amadeus while the latter also moved. Running right behind one of the icicles, Amadeus appeared to the side of the being with a red hot Wakizas.h.i.+. Aiming straight for the slight opening left by the being, he failed to see the smirk that had crept onto his enemy. For Amadeus though, all he saw was the being twist in an unnatural way and before he knew it, a sword was descending onto him. His clairvoyance kicked in, but it was only a small vision, allowing Amadeus to step to the side, barely dodging.

However, the change was too quick and unexpected, so it wasn't enough. Without even knowing, Amadeus felt a loss of weight on the right side of his body while he felt a loss of balance. It didn't register within Amadeus' head until he looked at his right shoulder where his arm from the shoulder down was now missing.

That was when pain registered in his and he stumbled back a bit. He wanted to scream, he wanted to shout, he wanted to let it all out, but he couldn't. He knew that if he did, it would not only expose his weakness, but it will also attract the attention of the three that were fighting. They already had a lot to handle and he didn't want to add onto their burdens.

However, the being wasn't as lenient, with a quick spin, another sword swept to his left. All Amadeus was able to do was move his left hand holding the wakizas.h.i.+ to block. Despite begin able to block the sword, he wasn't able to block the strength behind it and he was flung towards the hut, cras.h.i.+ng into it.

The loud crash attracted everyone' attention as the being appeared with a large hole on his torso and started walking towards the hut. The group felt a bit relieved knowing that Amadeus was able to leave such an injury on the being but seeing what he was holding in his hand crushed that flicker of hope. A young hand was held as it slowly turned to ash in that being's hand. The being was also surprised but put it to the back of his mind and continued towards the hut.

Within the hut, Amadeus had landed on the coffin as he started swinging back and forth. He felt an itch throughout his left hand and his right shoulder. The strike to the left had shattered his bones but they were slowly being repaired. While his right arm was slowly regenerating, it wasn't extremely fast, but his regeneration was rebuilding that lost arm.

Amadeus got up and looked around only to see a trapped Solaris and Luna who were looking at him with worry while rocking back and forth. Giving them a smile, he also noticed a hospital bed and apparatuses accompanying it. He could tell it was a room for conducting research. He didn't have time to look around, so he pushed himself up which didn't go well, and he fell down face first. Only now did he realise that what he landed on didn't seem to be a wall but rather a swing of some kind.

Turning around, he saw a black coffin around his size with intricate rose designs just swinging back and forth. He then saw the whole formation of the powers released from Luna and Solaris being used to break the chains. However, he never had time to do anything about that as he felt the being getting closer. Making his way out, he readied his wakizas.h.i.+ with his almost healed left hand in a backhanded grip and dashed towards the being.

Without an arm, it had messed up his balance, but it didn't take long to get used to it. With their blades clas.h.i.+ng, Amadeus was already moving as soon as the blades lost contact. He tried to avoid getting hit and tried to attack from different directions, trying to catch the being off guard. It wasn't a major success though, the being would either block the strike or completely dodge it no matter where he attacked from. It was very rare for Amadeus to catch it off guard.

This exchange of blows went on for some time as Amadeus' experience with combat increased. He was catching the being off guard a couple more times after noticing the hole in his torso have some effect. As Amadeus was going for one more swing, the being blocked the attack and pushed the sword outward, making Amadeus stumble and lose his balance. What followed was backhanded punch to Amadeus' face hurling Amadeus of towards the rest of his group. The only reason why Amadeus was being thrown around like a rag doll was due to his size. Amadeus was just like any other eight-year-old. The being's fist was nearly half the size of him, so it was natural for him to be tossed around.

Amadeus landed on top of the last Goblin left standing. The group around was tired but seeing Amadeus land in front of them caused them to crowd around him. Amadeus didn't think for a second before getting back up on his feet with half his face smashed up, slowly healing. The rest of the group then looked at the being playing around with his sword.

"Hahaha, don't you think it's time to end this?"

Amadeus wiped off some blood as he came ahead of the group.

"It indeed is."

"I wasn't talking to you."

"Wh"

Confusion took Amadeus as he saw a vision and felt something entering his torso through his back.

"Amadeus!!"

He heard Arrow's scream as he looked down and saw the end of a sword leaving his chest. Looking back, he saw Jack the leader sporting a cruel smile on his face as he looked up at Amadeus.

"Jack!"

Samuel was shocked and enraged as he swung his sword at his former comrade. Arrow also jumped back and let loose an arrow at Jack's head. The cruel smile didn't leave Jack as he stepped back, leaving the sword within Amadeus and punching Samuel. Samuel didn't think much of it as it was heading towards his s.h.i.+eld only for it to be ripped apart like paper. The squire never had time to react and the punch landed on his face, causing it to explode like a watermelon.

The arrow let loose by Arrow was caught with incredible ease and was thrown back, puncturing her neck and carrying on only to hit a wall behind her. Everything slowed down for Amadeus at that moment.

He saw Arrow slowly collapse not looking at what killed her, but at himself who was staring at her wide eyed. A smile found her lips and tears fell out as she mouthed something to Amadeus.

A burning sensation wafted through her body as she felt her limbs grow weak and a coldness encroach upon her. As she started losing her vision, memories flashed through Arrow's eyes as she remembered her promise to her little siblings back at the orphanage.

"Onee-chan, when will you come back?"

"I'll be back soon."

Seeing the little elf with two ponytails put a smile to her face. Picking the girl that was barely 2 years old up, she held her in her arms as the latter pulled out her pinkie finger,

"Promise?"

Arrow did the same,

"I promise."

It was a simple promise done with her pinkie finger but at this time it weighed on her slowing heartbeat like nothing else. Then her memories changed to seeing herself camping out with her teammates, the ones she swore to protect.

Lastly, it was Amadeus saying those words that put her mind at ease.

"Elder sister."

She tried to go with a smile, but the tears involuntarily came out. She didn't want to leave. With that last thought, her vision went blank and her last breath left her mouth.

Amadeus barely had time to react as it all happened to fast. At one point he was just stabbed in the back by a man he thought as a companion, and the next it was that same companion that killed everyone else.

Arrow collapsing was the only thing he saw as he felt something snap inside of him. He still didn't believe it, a series of thoughts with denial circled throughout his head as he collapsed. All of a sudden, the pain in his chest wasn't that hurtful. He felt something clog up his throat as slowly stood up. It took him quite the effort as the blood he lost was a little too much. There wasn't any dropping on the floor as it would turn to ash before it even reached it.

"Huh?"

Jack saw this and he also turned around curious as to what he would do. Placing the wakizas.h.i.+ in his mouth, he grabbed the sword that was lodged into his torso and pushed it back out. A grunt of pain was heard as Amadeus clenched his teeth. With one last push, he threw the blade and caught it in his arm. His eyes left a slight trail while he showed up in front Jack and swung his sword causing him to dodge. The cruel smile never left Jack's face as his face started to morph.

He then jumped to the side of the being and he turned to look exactly like him, just minus the injuries. Amadeus didn't care why Jack morphed into that unknown being. He had a few faint ideas, but he didn't care.

The being and Jack couldn't see Amadeus' eyes as it was covered by a shadow, but they also didn't care. Despite knowing that their victory was certain, they knew all too well that if you push someone to a corner, they will bite back. Nodding to each other, Jack grabbed a fallen sword, and both attacked Amadeus.

Goblins had stopped their advance some distance away upon seeing another scary figure.

Amadeus could only see the two people in front of him as the sword in his left hand started heating up, slowly glowing red. He didn't see the swords striking him but the two people that were attacking. He had no reservations, as long as the swords didn't hit anything vital, he was fine, his regeneration would take care of it.

Seeing the two jump at him, Amadeus ran directly at them, surprising the opposite party. Amadeus dodged slightly and felt the swords cutting his skin, but he still went forward. His sword approached the injured being causing him to dodge. However, Amadeus didn't chase after him but stood his ground and spun to attack Jack. Jack brought his sword forward only to see it get sliced like b.u.t.ter due to how hot Amadeus' sword was while Amadeus proceeded to cut him. The sword Amadeus held started cracking and just when it melted the front of Jack's armour, did it burst into pieces, sending shrapnel in all directions. The shrapnel's got lodged in various places including Amadeus' body as he closed the distance and attacked with the wakizas.h.i.+ in his mouth.

Fortunately, for Amadeus, one of the shrapnel happened to be small enough to bypa.s.s Jack's helmet's slits and hit his eye, blinding him in that one. A burnt smell entered Amadeus' nose as he grabbed the wakizas.h.i.+ out of his mouth and took a stab at Jack. Amadeus couldn't control where he was stabbing due to his haste in killing Jack, but he did go for at least one of his vital points above his head.

Somehow, he ended up targeting one of Jack's eyes and felt his blade entering something through the slit only for it to a halt. Jack's instincts came into play as he blocked Amadeus' arm. That was when Jack got to see the oppositions eyes. It had a myriad of red veins streaking from the edge of his sclera and just about reaching its pupils. Jack could only see the one eye, but it was probably the same situation for the other.

Amadeus tried pus.h.i.+ng forward, but the strength Jack was releasing was above his. Seeing that he was making no progress Amadeus was about to roar when his clairvoyance kicked in and he did a back flip, dodging a sword that swiped his position.

Jack and the being grouped up and carefully looked at Amadeus with seriousness.

"He's becoming stronger."

Jack nodded as something caught his attention,

"His arm's regenerating."

"d.a.m.n dragons and their regeneration."

Ignoring the being's spite, Amadeus rushed back at the two and engaged in combat. He felt something awakening within him as he felt his regeneration hastening slightly. His cuts were regenerating sooner, and he had just regenerated his right arm's elbow.

However, something deep inside of him was also awakening, he could feel it ready to burst out, especially near his head. Suddenly, he felt an arm grab his feet and launch him into the air. He was pretty much out of energy now and he watched himself helplessly thrown into the air. The being with the sword moved in front and thrust upwards, piercing him mid-air. Amadeus opened his eyes slightly and saw the being still having that cruel smile as he vomited out blood. The blood landed on the being's face burning it.

"Aaaaaggggghhhhh!!!!"

The being let loose his sword and held his face, dropping Amadeus to the side.

Amadeus felt his vision failing as he looked at the cold hard ground. His regeneration started slowing down, and his eyelids became heavy.

'Is this the end?'

Amadeus slowly started seeing the faces of everyone as his breathing slowed. He saw the faces of his parents, Baldrik and Lily, his cute little brother Arius, his maids, the people from his previous life, his parents there, it seemed that he hadn't completely forgotten about them. Lastly it was his now dead companions. Remembering the smiles of Samuel and Arrow it quickly changed to Arrow collapsing with a smile and tears in her eyes. Remembering what she mouthed,

"Thank you."

A strong will instantly took over him,

'No this isn't the end! THIS ISN'T THE END!'

Amadeus felt his heartbeat race as the thing that was awakening within him awoke. He felt two things exit his head while he felt energy coalescing around him. He slowly got the energy to get up and pull the sword out of his body.

- Dragon Clan -

Within the throne room, Caesar was looking at two things floating in front of him. One was Amadeus' Hsu Quandao while the other was a piece of armour. It was similar to the Blades samurai armour but this one was white. The grooves and lines were purple with a tint of gold. Both had numerous runes flas.h.i.+ng here and there. There were some dwarven runes but mainly draconic ones. Even for the Hsu Quandao, the previous runes were outshone by the draconic ones. However, both the weapons had a small shade of red. That was the blood of the war G.o.d the old man with horns took. Suddenly, the weapon and armour started vibrating and shot into the sky.

Caesar saw this and instantly chased after it while sending a message to his son.

- G.o.d's realm -

The old man was being beaten black and blue by Granny after she saw what was happening to Amadeus. As G.o.ds they were forbidden for directly acting in the mortal world. Things like gifts and the like was ok but actions were not permitted.

Suddenly, the two stopped and directly looked down while a smile found the old man's face,

"Who would have thought?"

- Back in the cave -

Jack and the being looked at the now standing Amadeus. A golden and silver energy swirled around him as they felt both hot and cold. They could see that he had gotten slightly taller and now had four horns protruding from his head, making it look like a crown, two at the front while two at the back. A sense of danger overcame them as Amadeus took a step forward.

Suddenly two objects flew into the hall and crashed into the hut. In the middle of the step, a rabbit seemed to fly from the hut and cover his foot. Taking another step, another rabbit flew in and covered that foot as well. Slowly one by one, they all came together and covered one part of Amadeus' body one at a time, until the helmet came in and got blocked by his new horns. Four holes then appeared and perfectly fit atop his head.

A demonic mask covered his face allowing only his eyes to be shown to the outside world while the mouth also had a slight opening.

Amadeus then lifted his left hand and a crow flew out landing in his hand, which then turned into his Hsu Quandao. The weight Amadeus had felt was all but gone, as information of what had happened floated in. He had gone through a second awakening, where there wasn't much difference between his and his draconic form. The only difference being that the latter was bigger and that it was able to unleash the full strength of his innate powers. Everything else was equal.

The two beings were only a bit stronger than Amadeus but now Amadeus' strength had doubled. Now with the addition of the armour and weapon, there death was guaranteed but they never lost hope. Amadeus lunged at them, immediately appearing in front of them before they could react. The Hsu Quandao went straight through Jack while the other being jumped back.

Amadeus didn't let him go as he flung Jack to the side and kicked the head of the being shattering its helmet. Then using his Hsu Quandao as a pole, he once more kicked him, sending him flying into one of the pillars. Amadeus then threw his Hsu Quandao nailing the being into the wall. Amadeus turned around only to see Jack starting to run away towards the goblins.

"ROOOOAAAAAAAR!!"

Taking a deep breath and few steps forward, a majestic roar filled the room and a silvery white energy left his mouth, freezing anything it its path.

All that was left was a frozen Jack and countless goblins. Once he was done, he started walking towards the first being to kill him off.

"Hahahaha, who would've thought-"

The sound of a click and dropping of metal interrupted the being as Amadeus looked back towards the hut where he saw a small shadow walk from the hut. The figure only had a black cloth covering its body and while its hair covered its face. From what little skin was shown, it was a sickly pale white as it had green veins snaking across its bony hands. Through the figure's hair, Amadeus saw dead red eyes looking at the being behind him.

"Indeed, who would've thought that I would lose my life just before I succeeded and to a young dragon as well."

As Amadeus prepared to kill it, the figure then ran to the being with a shriek only for it to sink its teeth into it. Amadeus watched the latter slowly shrink and become bony while the figure's pale skin turn healthier. This went on for quite a while until the being breathed its last and the figure stopped drinking. He then turned towards Samuel and Arrow and stored Samuel's body within his storage ring after taking out a sandwich. He then walked over and looked at her peaceful smiling face. He once again felt something clog his throat as tears threatened to appear in his eyes. Calming himself down, a tear fell from his face and he stored her body within his ring.

Eating the sandwich up, he started looking through the hut for a way out when he saw a lever of some kind. Pulling the lever, the sound of some mechanism working was heard and stairs leading downwards appeared. Not finding anything else, he descended those steps as the figure behind him started following him as well. The whole journey was met with silence as he then felt himself ascending. Midway, he stored his armour while he kept his Hsu Quandao in his only hand. His other hand was two thirds done but it would still take some time for it to properly regenerate.

He never knew how long he had walked until he saw a faint glimmer of light as he started sprinting towards it. That light got larger and larger as he felt a small breeze hit his face. Rus.h.i.+ng into the light, a forest of trees appeared in his vision. He immediately felt a few familiar presences nearby and a roar involuntarily left his mouth.

"ROOOOAAAAAARRRR!!!!"

Hearing that a couple more elated roars were heard in the distance.
