Dai had traveled to many places, searching for clues related to the attack on his family. He had only received one clue from his grandfather, and it was a symbol from the organization itself—a star with an eye in the center. Dai had asked many questions to obtain that information. However, the information he had obtained was still lacking, even though he had fought many street thugs, searching for people who knew about the star symbol in the center or even possessed it. Dai could not find a single such symbol.
When Dai went out again to search for the star symbol, he was approached by 7 people, and the leader of the group said, "Are you the one causing trouble with my members lately? Don't you know you're dealing with the wrong people? You've beaten my men so badly their faces are unrecognizable! How will you pay for this!" the leader exclaimed.
Dai responded by remaining silent and vigilant.
"So this is what you want. Well, then, pay with your life!" the leader shouted.
The four men attacked Dai, but there was one thing they didn't know about him: Dai possessed a technique that could only be used by those who had taken an oath, a power considered impossible in this world.
Those who had taken the oath, the blood oath, gained extraordinary power, power considered impossible in this world. However, the oath had been eradicated by the ruler, as the power of the oath was too great. The ruler feared that power, so he ordered all his followers to hunt down every blood oath-taker across the world.
Dai slaughtered the seven men, leaving one alive to speak—their leader. Dai asked about the star symbol, and the leader knew little, "The star symbol with an eye in the center? I don't know! But you might find information at the Night Club right across the main street; there are many people there with knowledge. Please! Please spare my life!" the leader said.
Dai looked into the leader's eyes and saw that he was not lying.
"I see… Thank you for the information." Dai said.
"Thank you! I truly thank you!" Dai left, leaving the leader behind.
However, what the man didn't know was that while Dai was asking questions, he had given his blood. That blood would later torment the man, spreading throughout his body and seeking an entry point, slowly torturing him through his bloodstream.
Dai went to the nightclub and sat down, observing his surroundings. The bartender approached Dai to ask for his order. Dai ordered a glass of wine while asking, "Do you have any information about the star tattoo with a central eye?"
"I'm sorry, sir, we don't sell such information here." The bartender said.
The people around Dai suddenly became alert, "Son, what you're looking for isn't here. Leave before this becomes a problem," said the man who approached Dai.
Dai noticed the tattoo on the man's arm, but it lacked eyes in the center.
"Where did you get that tattoo?" Dai asked.
"You don't need to know, boy. Now, leave!" the man said.
Dai stood up, slowly walking toward the exit. He surveyed his surroundings and estimated the number of his opponents. As the exit door drew near, he struck the person leading him to the exit. The others attacked Dai, but they couldn't do anything against him; they were too weak.
"Boy! You've messed with the wrong person. Get ready, because you won't die easily!" Cakarr said.
"Haha! Die, you young fool! He is Cakarr! Cakarr, the keeper of the guardian oath!" the others said.
Dai saw him; he had a different strength from the others. Cakarr had a different aura from him. Dai fought him, and he found it difficult to fight that person because he had the power of an oath, and that person's oath was the guardian oath, a power that strengthened the endurance and strength of its bearer. Dai realized he wouldn't win if he relied solely on his physical strength, so he slowly infused his oath's power into each attack.
The relentless, enhanced attacks overwhelmed Cakarr, forcing him to retreat.
"Why? Why can't my endurance match each of his attacks!" I am the guardian of the oath! Why can't I withstand his attacks even though my endurance is as strong as iron!" Cakarr exclaimed in confusion.
"This is the price for all your sins—death. Die miserably alongside your people," Dai said.
Dai suddenly slit the radial artery on his hand, causing a large amount of blood to flow out.
"Hahaha! Fool! Why are you attacking yourself!" Cakarr laughed.
However, Cakarr didn't know that Dai was the keeper of the blood oath, the oath of death. Suddenly, the people around Cakarr fell to the ground, lifeless. Cakarr was shocked by the incident.
"What? What's happening? Hey, you guys! Wake up! What's wrong with you?" Cakarr said in fear.
"They won't wake up; they're dead," Dai said.
"You! What have you done? I've never heard of anything like this anywhere!" What kind of power do you possess!" Cakarr exclaimed.
"Know this: I have sworn to avenge my father's death and find my mother. That is my power."
"You! Are you the owner of the oath of vengeance? But I've never seen the owner of that oath use blood!.. T-It's impossible. The ruler has ordered us to kill all owners of the blood oath! There can't be any left!"
Dai was startled by Cakarr's words, "You, do you know who killed my family? Who is that ruler! Tell me, and I'll let you live!" said Dai.
"Haha! So that's it, after hearing that, your calmness suddenly vanished, of course! The ruler is the one who killed your family! You won't be able to reach the ruler; he is protected by the eyes, who possess immense power! You won't be able to defeat them!" said Cakarr.
Dai, while calming himself, said: "So that's how it is."
"Let the ruler live—" Cakarr's final words.
Dai used his blood to summon Scythe, plucked out Cakarr's brain, and take his memories. The process caused Dai great pain, due to the large amount of memories entering his brain.
Dai had obtained so much information. Now he knew that his opponent was not easy to defeat; he would not be fighting just one person, but an organization, and that organization did not stand alone—it was connected to the government. The "eyes" of the ruler were the keepers of the strongest oaths. Dai's journey was still long, and he couldn't avenge himself alone. Though his power was great, if he faced the organization and the government alone, he would lose. Dai was aware of this and would gather strength, slowly and surely.
