Part 9. The unseen road

And so, three days have passed. Deep in the Fezra forest, Azgard meets the old Shaman to begin his traning.

" You know Azgard, i have heard of Wizard (all rounder magic user), sorcerer ( forbiden/casting magic user), and warlocks (magic and sword master). But i have never heard of an Assasin magician. Tell me, how do you plan to combine magic with Assasin's combat pattern?"

" I don't really know myself. I left the Magister Magi Acedemy to search for the man who killed my family. And i din't even finish learning the basics of magic yet. Damn it, i'm such an idiot!"

" No, you are not an idiot, you are more of a hopeless, talentless, stubborn fool."

"You're NoT HELPING!!"

" Well since you only know the displacement spell, i will only be able to train you once you fully master your that spell. So, are you ready for what awaits you?"

"Yes, i will do my best!"

" Well then, you're first step is to cross the unseen road of the Nul cave. But I must warn you, there is not even a ray of light in there, and creatures and monsters awaits you there. And, the exit is a fortnight's journey... many of our people tried to cross it, but only a few evey made it out in one piece. Most of them lost their mind, and there were many who also died. Thats all i can say and do for you now, its all up to you, but its not to late to quite,.. ya know."

" No, i will not give up.... no now!"

As soon as Azgard said those word, he went into the cave.

"Hohoho... you can come out now... Emma."

Emma-" How did you know i was here?"

" I can smell that flower you always carry with you... haha"

" Ahh... Did he notice too!"

" No, that brat got too much in his mind.. which is what i'm worried about. This task was to make him clear his mind... if he dont, he might just go mad.. haha.. but don't worry, he is a strong boy, like his father. "

" Now then, shall we go home?"

Time slowly pass by a day at a time, Emma was getting worried as she feared something bad might happen. But the old Shaman continued his daily routine as if he had no concerns for that boy.

As time pass by, it finally came to the day which is fourteen after Azgard went into the caves. Emma rushed to the exit and waited for him to come out. She waited patiently till the sun rised above her head where she could take it no longer

" Where is that guy!!! what is taking him so long? Oh no! did something bad happened?"

She became even more worried and fear started menifesting her mind. She waited and waited, until the time the sun started to set.

Suddently Azgard came out of the Cave. " Azgard you.re back!! Az...?!" as Emma look closely at him, his face showed no reaction nor did it show any emotions. Then he finally open his mouth and said, " I.... nee-d.. food!!~" and he fell unconscious..

" wahh!~ Azgard!! Get up!! don't just go around scaring people like that!!" She started hitting him with a rock.

"Haha sorry Emma, i guess fourteen days of no food really does take the life out of you.. HAHa"

" That is not funny!! get up!! its late already, we need to get back now!!"

He then slowly got up and went back home while hanging half of body weight on the girl's shoulder. As soon as they reach home, Azgard ran energeticly towards the dining table and grab all the food that he can eat and chew them like a wild animal. Emma and the rest of the family stared at him and lost their mood to eat.

" what with you guys? arn't you all hungry?"-Agard

" Can you eat proplerly?!? ish! thats the problem with guys!!"-Emma

"huh?"-Agard

"nrm... ( -____-)..."

After they finished dinner, Azgard went to find the old shamen.

"Hey grandpa.. when do I start the next traning?"

"Hoho... so you think you are ready to take the next step?"

"Well then, come.. if you can even touch hit me once, I will start the training tomorrow, But if you fail to hit me, you will have to stop and leave this place. understand?"

" If that is how you want it, then i have no choice"

Azgard dashed with such intense speed that his body could not be seen. He then ran to the back of the old man and made a punch but the old man moved his head slightly to the left just enough to avoide the punch and used hid staff to hit Azgard's stomach. Azgard fell to the ground as the impact was so great.

" Did you Think that just by running fast you can hit me? i'm blind you know.. but i am surely not deft... which means no matter how fast you run, i can hear your movement. not then, ' meltio pec - Acceleration' " that old man said as he cast a spell to give him great speed. He then dashed towards Azgard and punched him in the face and kicked him off the ground. While in mid air, the old man tried to use his staff to hit him on the chest. Azgard quickly put his hands togather to block it, but it was too powerful and it got him to hit the ground with greater impact.

" What are you waiting for? use your displacement spell and fight me!!"

"AHH!!!!" he then swing his hand and cause the table to fly towards the old man. But the old man dashed away and kicked Azgard till he hit and broke the wall and fall outside the house.

" Haha, not bad boy. you dint event cast the spell and you could use it. but that type of dispalcement spell, is the most basic of all... telekinesis is just to slow of a displacement. Now then i shall finish you off with one blow ' el-ru-gral-enr-la melio simistri quang miona, Genla's earth spike' " The old man suddenly cast a spell and a earth type spike appeared infront of him

" I wont g-give up yet!! ' seven seals of the heaven, displace space and air, divine protection' " *cast barrier*

As the spike was shot off towards Azgard, it hit the barrier and exploded. pieces of rock flew everywhere. Suddenly Azgard appeared behind the old man to punch him.

" the same trick wont work on me twice" the old man did the same thing as before and hit him with the staff but Azgard disappeared when got hit.

" What! was he really fast enough to avoid it just a second before the staff hit him? N-no... that was a FAKE!!"

Azgard then appeared from the from ' Forced acceleration ' he then used a displacement spell on his hand. The spell caused his hand to move in such a speed that not even the old man could avoid it. His hands turned into a fish and punched the old man. The old man fell to the ground while shock to see what happened
" Hahaha,.. I see, first you cast the forced acceleration spell just below your elbow while holding it back. Then you release it all once you saw an opening,.. just like a bow and an arrow. The hand to hold the arrow and the string of the bow as the spell.. I am impressed. but what i don;t understand is why wsas i not able to detect you?"

" well, when the spike hit my barrier, it caused an explosion. As the rocks flew everywhere, i knew that motion was everywhere, so i used it as an advantage to distract your hearing. thus, barrier was not to protect me but to give an opening on you."
