Upon returning home, kenshi drop the head of Gomez in deformed state. If ordinary person from his previous world saw this, they will doubt kenshi but this is a magic world, where everything changed from magic.
Looking at the head, the person in charge of his mission nodded and said.
"Congratulations, young master."
As kenshi nodded him. The man took the head and kenshi left his room to meet his father.
In the training room, takumi was practicing his sword skill in the dummy training.
This dummy training was different from any dummy training his children used. It moves faster, more flexible and more powerful than anyone.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Both him and the dummy keep exchanging blows as it's force was enough to accidentally kill someone.
When kenshi finally arrived the training grounds. Takumi stops and said.
"Train pause."
After saying, the dummy stops and when back to his original position, waited for the next command. His son kenshi returned covered in blood and bruises. Some of his equipment was broken but his son was still in pieces.
"So, how's the mission."
At his words, kenshi replied.
"Gomez was tough opponent but I managed to kill him, but something bothers me father."
"And what is it?"
"Gomez acquired a tree of death. He used it to raise and undead army. But for some reason. He was waiting for something."
As he speak, kenshi already knew the results. He just ask his father for confirmation to make sure.
Takumi who listens quietly frown and ask.
"Did you bring it here?"
"No father."
As takumi sigh in relief, he continues.
"The tree of death is not an ordinary tree. They lived in the outskirts of the valley where the battle once used.
Although it was a threatening monster. It's weaker than it actually looks. But for the necromancers. It's a luxury they can used as research and tools.
As for why Gomez, you probably saw him eating the fruit."
As kenshi nodded. He continued.
"The fruit of death tree isn't just to increase lifespan. If he wait even longer. He will acquired a powerful energy, or there is a chance that can kill him but it a gamble to acquired a new power. Which is necromancy."
Once he said this, kenshi frown and said.
"Is this mean he can control the undead?"
"Yes, that is why necromancers value the tree so high that there was once a holy war exploded.
I don't know much about the holy war, but our first ancestors might know since it's not an ordinary war."
Upon finishing speaking kenshi think this deeply.
The tree of death was a high value, if he can see that tree in the black market. He will acquired more money, but he will also become a target from the church.
Since he left the tree in the city, he was gladly that he didn't bring it in his state.
"Now rest son, you will have a lot of things to do tomorrow."
As kenshi nodded, takumi resumed his training.
Inside his room, kenshi wore the Japanese clothes while sitting in his chair. He inspected the weapon and check the chamber.
From the bars in the pistol, he saw the blue liquid inside but it's smaller than he thought.
This liquid are the souls that turned dark energy in his weapon absorbed after used it to kill. Shell who watch his master said.
"It's very few."
As kenshi nodded. He put back the pistol in the table.
"It was to be expected. We killed a very few people inside but luckily, Gomez soul make it up so it's a good harvest."
Upon finished speak, shell replied.
"Well it's true that it was good harvest but, it makes me a little irritated that we took a few."
"Oh? And why is that? Surely your not in a hurry to evolve right?"
Upon asking in curious, shell sigh and said.
"For over a millennial, me, along with other 13th curse weapons was once offered to the people to be used. Some people manage to used us. While others became a madman killing anyone he see.
But there is me, the special of the bunch. Instead of turning people mad, I just steal off their souls."
"Take their souls? Didn't masamura said that the owner becomes a madman?"
"Yes, but those are the special trend of other weapons. Each weapons has unique skills if the owner isn't worthy. Such things can decreasing the lifespan, acquired a special disease and many more.
This is also the reason why am ownerless since not only I take their souls but also controls them like a puppet. Unlike others, they just misunderstood me."
"I see, then the reason why those people in the research facility become like that is because you controlled them?"
"Yes, I controlled them. As a lady, I will never let anyone keep touching me and I swear, I'll used there body to kill anyone around him, so that person will beat them up while am watching the show."
Upon giving a proud look. Kenshi face twitch and he felt very bad to one of his people.
He's father once said that he almost killed one of his guards, because he can't stop shooting everyone. Lucky for him. He got away with his life in exchange of resting in the hospital in a half a year.
When kenshi shook his head. One man knocks and entered the room.
"Young master, your father wants to gave you this."
As he saw the letter in the butlers hand he ask.
"What is it?"
"It's the invitation of the party from the duke. He said that his son becoming 15 this year and wants to invite everyone."
When he heard this, he click his tongue in annoyance and the butler already left.
The royal family like to have a grand parties to boost their children. But in truth, those children are weak and probably can be defeated by his young brother.
Since the outsiders though that they are just a ordinary merchant family. They probably planning to used the merchants to spread the name of his son.
Shell who saw the letter calmly ask.
"You look like you don't want to go."
"Yes, I don't want to go. But I have to go to the party to not disrespectful the duke. Otherwise it will not going to be good image for the other nobles."
"Hmm..... Does this mean you will go?"
At her curious expression, kenshi replied in annoyance.
"Yes."
As he sigh, he then pick up the pistol and said in a low tone.
"I hope this party is worth it."
