Noah released a deep sigh. He picked the sword up, and moved his gaze towards the berserk puppy rushing at him. He gave a warm smile as he looked at him. "I'm sorry Manny. I have to do this again to you."
Manny jumped at Noah, about to bite at his neck. Noah closed his eyes, and with a pained expression on his face, he swung the sword without even looking at Manny. The steel sword slashed through Manny, separating its head and body into two.
His dissected body fell on the floor, blood gushed out and painted the surrounding red. A drop of tear trickled down from the corner of Noah's eyes.
"Hahahaha! That's my son! You have to be ruthless." Miachael laughed out loud. ecstatic at Noah's decisiveness to kill his beloved puppy. "You have passed the ritual of killing emotions perfectly. Now duel your brother and awaken your sword talent."
CLINK! CLANK! CLINK!
Noah threw the blood laden sword back towards Michael, stopping near his feet after bouncing off a few times.
