Soran widened his eyes in shock as he heard the mysterious old man saying that he was just one step away from becoming a true hell breaker.
Soran who was practicing his "divine lightning" suddenly stopped and asked the mysterious old man a question that was bugging him ever since the time of the old man's arrival to the Nero alphs.
He put down his sword crownbreaker and asked "you know I just realised that I didn't knew how to become a hell breaker. Ever since I was a kid I just trained and then suddenly I was in a champion class but after that I even trained further and going into wars and pushing my body to it's limits but nothing ever happened but now when I have learned a few things suddenly I am just one step away from becoming a thing that I always wanted?"
The old man eyed soran as he lifted his head up revealing his old features in a bright sun.
The old man paused for a few seconds and chuckled.
The old man added "you know the trick to become a true hell breaker is always in you. A knight can become a hell breaker if he just understands basic principles of "Arcanastra". The thing is you people always rely solely on training and fighting wars but forgetting two things is what holds you all back which is using your existing abilities over and over again and then the most important thing which is using your mind to it's fullest".
Soran was quite confused upon hearing all that and asked "I mean fighting wars uses mind a lot".
The old man stood up with the support of his thick wooden staff as he walked over to where a huge boulder was.
The old man turned around and faced soran with a smile and said "perform a divine lightning for me".
Soran nodded and picked up his sword crownbreaker and closed his eyes.
He lifted his sword up slightly in air and chanted slowly "the lightning that bless and curse".
Then he aimed his crownbreaker towards the huge boulder, multiple blue lighting's came from his sword crownbreaker which was also glowing from hilt to the blade.
The lightning which was blue slightly enveloped soran too as his eyes became light and his body surged with blue lightning.
The speed of lightning increased gradually as it approached the huge boulder and it took less than two seconds before they saw the huge boulder breaking into several hundred pieces. The ground beneath them was also shaking as if a calamity was about to come.
Soran let go of his sword crownbreaker which was glowing and took a breath before everything returned to normal.
The old man yawned as he explained "it was alright but you still need more practice".
Soran nodded and asked "I have heard that hell breakers can split the ground Into two with their divine lightning".
"And some can even break huge ships and well mountains although that one is a rumour". Soran asked half-curious and half-excitedly.
The old man didn't respond as he walked back to his original position.
The old man looked at soran and said "you should get some rest, divine lightning is a powerful ability that can affect your health if used too much".
Soran nodded and said "then I shall practice my "wheel summoning" cause I am not feeling tired yet".
"Do not push yourself and get some rest", the mysterious old man said in a determined voice.
Soran chuckled and said "I think I am going to be just fine".
The old man half closed his eyes and said "sit beside me would you?"
Soran looked at his surroundings in frustration and then shook his head before going towards where the old man was sitting in a silence.
Soran asked "what is it?"
The old man smiled but it was more of a smile that hinted a sadness buried deep within him.
The old man said "bear with me for a while, it's going to be a long story but an important one".
Soran who was in frustration became more and more hungry for more practice but at this situation he had no choice but to say "Alright".
"There was a kid that was similar to you, always eager to learn and practice. He was a heir to the throne so he naturally felt the burden of it but never once he decided to show it on his face. He truly loved his parents up until he was fourteen but after he became a little mature, he decided to leave the kingdom and travel the world not because he started to feel the burden of the crown but the burden which came was not of the crown but of his own parents. The burden to achieve the same things as his father did slightly became into fear for him. He decided to leave the kingdom not because he was running away from his duties but it was to become worthy of his father's name once he traveled the world and learned about different people and different cultures and also different abilities and weapons. He thought that father would approve of this request of his but to his surprise his father wasn't that understanding as he thought him to be, and then one day a huge argument happened and he decided to leave this kingdom forever even though his mother tried to stop him from doing that but he still insisted and then one day he ran away to travel the whole world but now it was not for his father or for his kingdom but it was for him", the old man said with each line he became more and more serious.
"And one day when he was traveling one of the cities outside the archsail fort, he recieved a news. A news that shattered him, it was from his kingdom. His mother was killed by one of his own knight and he suddenly felt a guilt, Even though it was not his mistake but he cried and felt as if though he had killed his own mother but that was far from it. He still didn't return to his kingdom instead he used this as a rage and walked towards his goal of learning every ability and becoming a true God blade. He walked and then fall but never stopped, his journey was full of pain and suffering but he never stopped and eventually achieved his goal.
After achieving his goal he thought that now his father will accept him even though the journey he lived didn't concern his father, he still wanted his blessings and well his love I suppose. He traveled back to his kingdom but his father accused and blamed him for everything. The kingdom was in shambles of another kingdom and they were constantly fighting, he offered to help his father but he denied and the God blade who was prideful something broke inside of him and he never returned to his original Prideful nature. His father plotted a scheme to kill him that he knew of and he let it happen. Everyday his eyes were filled with tears and sorrows but he decided to let himself get killed by his own father and the reason for it was that his father would become happy that he atleast achieved something in his last days as a king". The old man felt bad for the God blade as he explained.
"After all he loved his parents truly".
