Noah Orion's POV
"Ahh!", I woke up and immediately started to sweat profusely.
"Fuck!", I said as I looked at the stomach and saw it was alright.
"Fuck! You should have given me some time.", I said.
"Well, it wouldn't have been fun.", he said.
"Are you ready?", he asked me.
"Yea, let's go.", I said as we both took stance.
We both were going to be fighting hand to hand.
"I will be only using 10% of my power.", he said.
"Ok.", I replied.
We both raised our hands and immediately rushed forward.
I then tried to close the distance and tried to punch him in the face.
"Too close.", he said as I felt a knee on my jaw and was knocked out again.
Well. it was day 1, I have been knocked out 50 times. All of my bones broken and humiliated.
"It's the second day, it cannot be that bad.", I said.
Unfortunately, I spoke too soon.
On the second day, I was knocked out 158 times and again all of my bones were broken.
"Fuck! It's going to be hard."
On the third day, I was knocked out 125 times and not all of my bones were not broken.
On the fourth day, I was knocked out 100 times and only 10 of my bones are broken.
On the fifth day I suddenly felt a foreign force starting to awaken in my body.
"Ha! Ha!", I was excited.
"Let's go.", I felt the aura flow through the body.
I have also become level 3
"Good, now I can use 20% of my power.", Dominic said.
"Wait, what?", before I could understand I have been punched again in the guts.
"AHHHH!", I screamed.
On the sixth day, I was knocked out only 50 times and not a single broken bone
And the rest of the days I would continuously fight him I could somehow felt my bones are getting stronger, my aura is getting denser and my mana was changing qualitatively.
Its like my bones where the Qi, my muscles are the mana and the skin is the aura.
I also at that time gathered 10 years' worth of Qi and tried to made a huge leap in magic complex spells.
I could basically spam 2bd circle magic spells continuously ten times in a row.
I was getting stronger and my time was dwindling.
Dominic was also getting more and more serious by the end of the day.
We continued to train together and he helped me use aura and Qi together.
[You have 1 day to finish the trial. Best of luck.]
"Dominic, I think its time.", I said to him and looked at him sadly.
"Oh really, it's good. I had a lot of fun training you. Now it's time for you to fight me.", He said.
"But let's make it fair.", he said.
"You only need to hit me ten times.", he said and suddenly he shone bright.
The next thing I see is an angel clad in armour.
[You only need 10 hits on Dominic Stormfist- Chef of Dark Cathedral]
[Survive]
"What?", I suddenly felt my left side punctures.
I then saw a lance about to hit me.
"TING!"
"TANG!"
I immediately dodged to the side.
"Fuck you Dominic", I said as I saw him now slash towards me.
I instantly used Shield and blocked it and I made space.
"CLANG!"
Not having a sword made it hard sure but not impossible.
I then conjured twenty Icicle shots and used Swift Steps and close the distance.
"TING!"
"TANG!"
"CLANG!"
"TING!"
"TANG!"
"CLANG!"
"TING!"
"TANG!"
"CLANG!"
I put Qi and aura to make an energy wave sword and used [Heavenly Demonic 2nd blade: Ten slashes of butterflies]
"TING!"
"TANG!"
"CLANG!"
"TING!"
"TANG!"
"CLANG!"
And hit him on the armour but I couldn't finish the set of moves so I immediately ran back and he used the shield to destroy the Icicle shots.
"TING!"
"TANG!"
"CLANG!"
"TING!"
"TANG!"
"CLANG!"
[1/10 hits]
I then immediately used telekinesis and made jaguar flow in the air with me.
I then made a blade with my left hand.
"Let me show you the true power of the Heavenly Demon.", I said as I rushed towards him.
We both then rushed towards each other and fight each other.
"TING!"
"TANG!"
"CLANG!"
"TING!"
"TANG!"
"CLANG!"
"TING!"
"TANG!"
"CLANG!"
"TING!"
"TANG!"
"CLANG!"
"TING!"
"TANG!"
"CLANG!"
We both clash our swords.
I then sneakily used four Fire Lance and then hit him.
[2/10 hits]
[3/10 hits]
[4/10 hits]
[5/10 hits]
He then suddenly emitted a holy aura.
[Holy Armor]
[Holy Lance]
[Holy Shield]
His armor, weapon and shield was glowing and then his speed increase 5 times.
"Damn it.", I said.
I used Haste and Sharpness.
And matched his speed and trying to parry and counter attack.
"TING!"
"TANG!"
"CLANG!"
"TING!"
"TANG!"
"CLANG!"
"TING!"
"TANG!"
"CLANG!"
"TING!"
"TANG!"
"CLANG!"
"TING!"
"TANG!"
"CLANG!"
This was hard as I continuously matched him.
"Fuck", the fatigue was slowly catching up to me.
Earth Lance x 15.
I summoned fifteen earth lances and made it create a distance.
"Fuck."
Heal
I started to heal and reduce my fatigue.
"Huff!", I was huffing for air.
I then saw two lances hit him.
"TING!"
"TANG!"
"CLANG!"
"TING!"
"TANG!"
"TING!"
"TANG!"
"CLANG!"
"TING!"
"TANG!"
"CLANG!"
He also destroyed the thirteen remaining Earth lances.
[6/10 hits]
[7/10 hits]
It's time to finish it.
"I as the minister of magic, hereby declare Swift steps
I as the minister of magic, hereby declare Holy aura
I as the minister of magic, hereby declare Sword of Darkness
I as the minister of magic, hereby declare Fire Blaze
I as the minister of magic, hereby declare Wind Acceleration
I as the minister of magic, hereby declare Shadow Bind
I as the minister of magic, hereby declare Mana Chain
I as the minister of magic, hereby declare Eyes of Heaven.", I said.
The shadow binds binded him and made sure he couldn't move.
My eyes of heaven saw through all of the weaknesses of the armor.
The wind acceleration increased my speed.
And the fire blaze blinded him.
I then rushed towards him and with full power.
I then immediately used [Heavenly Demonic 4th blade: Continuous blade of the bloodhound]
Ten red swords appeared and then stabbed him and drained him of his lifeforce.
And as my sword touched it cut through the armor like butter and tore his body apart..
As I did it, I felt my heart tear and break but I couldn't stop it.
I then saw the helmet break and he muttered.
"Thank you for freeing me from the curse.",
He said and disappeared into dust.
"Fuck!", I was crying now but I knew I didn't have time.
I then started to walk towards the sword.
The words from on the sky.
[Congratulations! Now take the sword and declare yourself as the 'Dark saint.' ]
As I was now standing in front of the sword. I was now holding the handle and felt a energy similar to heavenly demonic Qi in the body.
I then saw the energy burned a pattern into my right hand.
"Ahh!"
I felt my hand burn and I saw the world cease to exist.
