Free decided that he had gone far enough.
Looking back he could barely see the kingdom.The only thing that remains in a giant plume of smoke rising from above the treeline.
He sat down near a tree in order to get his thoughts together.
"My father has been funding this whole operation?"
"This can't be"
"No way he'd be that stupid to let out a loan without doing a background check first"
The young man said to himself as he looked down at the blade beside him.
The blade was engineered quite strangely. As the sheath wasn't particularly a place to storethe sword but an extension to the sword. Making the thin blade within wider, longer and double edged. The crucifix shaped crystal glowed a light blue as it emanated some kind of aura around the blade.
Free picked up the sword trying to unsheath it. But no matter how hard he pulled it just wouldn't budge.Like it was stuck inside of the damn sheath.
"Get out damn you"
"It's not like you're the type of swords that only come out of their sheath when I need you to"
"Or some kind of sword that has some kind of magical power or something"
"That only happens in video games"
Eventually he got fed up and decided that he's had enough of the sword's shenanigans. He stood up, Grabbed the sword by it's handle and drove it through the ground. He then proceeded to walk in a straight beeline leaving it behind.
He walked and walked until he saw the sword again.He rubbed his eyes in confusion but thought nothing of it.And so he continued,to only find the sword again.It looked like he had been walking in loops as everything he saw had stayed the same with the sword not leaving it's location.he approached the blade,crossed his arms and bent over with a furious look on his face.
"Oh so now you're just gonna teleport me in circles now huh"
"Fine, I see so that's how it's gonna be huh"
Said the man in a serious tone
The sword being a sword said nothing.
"Giving me the silent treatment huh"
"Well if you wanna teleport back and forth, I guess I'll have you join me"
Free proceed to grab the sword from the ground and started walking again. The sword only replied with a small glow appearing from the sheath's crystal.
He walked until he saw a town and that's when he realized something weird about his home country and this one. possibly the whole world at this point.
Free thought to himself as he said,
"WHY DO TOWNS IN COUNTRIES LIKE THESE LOOK SO DAMN ANCIENT"
"BUT EVERYWHERE I LOOK I SEE SMARTPHONES, BILLBOARDS AND DRONES EVERYWHERE"
"EVEN WITH SOLARIS IT WAS THE SAME"
he said as he grabbed his head.
He later took a deep breath and just continued walking.
Approaching the town he saw a group of about 7 soldiers that had the symbol of Lunaris,the country that destroyed the kingdom of solaris.
"Of course there's a company of enemy soldiers Infront of me"
He mumbled to himself
"This is such a cliché"
He said as he held his word tightly approaching the soldiers.
The soldiers seeing him inspected him from top to bottom, looking at a photo.
"Average stature, blonde hair, black eyes, red highlight"
One of the soldiers said, slinging his firearm over his shoulder.
"Jade bracelet, solarian robes and a crown hanging by his waist"
Free looking quite confused asked them only for him to be interrupted by one of soldiers.
"Hi there, we're a company of mercenaries that were tasked to hunt someone that looked just like you and it seems that you happened to walk right Infront of us soooo"
"Prepare to die"
One of them said with a smile on his face while others brought out either a rifle or a sword.
"Of course I get out in these types of situations"
Said the prince.
"Well, let's get this over and done with shall we"
As the soldiers raised their weapons towards the man, the young man smirked as he raised his blade preparing to fight the group of mercenaries before him.He smirked as he said
"generic typical mary sue black haired overpowered anime mc definetly not talking about kirito from sword art online cathphrase"
the enemies were confused as they didnt know what the prince was on about.The enemy charged at the boy.Grasping his blade Free widened his stance as he held the blade with his eyes closed.
"Breathe in"
"Breath out"
He said as he slowly opened his eyes.
2 people at the back with rifles pointed at home while the other 5 were charging headfirst.
As the first one came at him,free was quick to parry to attack but was quickly outsmarted by another mercenary that came from behind him and kicked him to the ground.
Free got back on his feet and managed to knock one of them of their feet killing him with a quick slice to the abdomen.
The two men that were standing at the back opened fire.A volley of bullets were coming his way, he suddenly raised his hand to create a stone wall to block the bullets.4 more soldiers coming his way.
He held the sword Infront of him,the bright red blade shining in the sunlight.He charged at the enemy swinging the red blade twice leaving an X shaped slice in the fies abdomen.
3 more remain with melee weapons,2 with firearms.
He closed his eyes and focused. taking deep breaths, concentrating his ki into his blade.
He opened his eyes and felt as if the blade had taken control of his body.He felt as if a thread was guiding him and his blade as he danced through the field incapacitating two soldiers (leaving them with severe head trauma and possible memory loss).
One melee soldier was left,the two ranged mercenaries fired more bullets,now infused with magic. In order to take them out Free kicked the ground to launch a chunk of the floor and sliced it in half.He then quickly kicked the two pieces of stone at the two mercenaries leaving them stuck under the heavy rock.
One was left, charging at him.As both sides clashed sparks fkes throughout the air, parries were traded, attacks of great potency were used.But free used the terrain to his advantage knowing that the sword could aid him he slammed the blade into the ground shaking it.
The final soldier lost his balance and fell on one knee.
As he tried to regain his balance,free pulled the crimson blade from the ground and leaped into the air.The blade emanated a blue glow that manifested a blade of pure energy from the sheath, making it look even longer.
As free was falling from the air,he had done an overhead slash with his sword splitting the final bandit in two.but that wasn't enough,he needed to be flashier and so as the bandits body was splitting into two halves he raised the sword once more to dice the already dead soldier.
He then raised his palm facing the flying chunks of human flesh,and uttered the words "Scorching Flare" Releasing a burst of fire from his palms, incinerating the bandit to dust.
Aftermath: 3 dead,4 incapacitated
He looked back at the carnage that he had caused and uttered a simple
"Ew"
He then looked at the glowing blade as the aura began to dissipate and said
"Maybe you and me aren't going to be that bad of a team after all huh Mr. Sword"
Said the man talking to an inanimate object
And so he and his weapon set off into the town ahead of him. Beginning an unbreakable bond between man and metal
