The Five Kings: First Step

Hopian 47 - The Greatest Knifesman!

Last chapter, after King Metallica forces Seric to train against Virile's men in which he tries to use his ship as a mace, Seric initiates the unlock to another ability of his Blessing like Dahai stated can happen beforehand. After talking to a holy lady who is somehow connected to the pillar Vega, she briefly explains the power of his new pure white blade his boat can now turn into. Soon after he wakes up, and at first the blade is too heavy to lift but he then accidentally swings the blade, slicing one of the mens pure metal swords clean in half, and somehow another tree in the far off distance.

Seric's P.O.V.

"What the hell?!" I shout out with my mouth dropped and a wide grin on my face, not knowing what just happened but knowing that that attack was insane.

"Damn it be careful boys, he's got more than just regeneration and a boat!" The man who's blade I sliced in two says cautiously as he takes a few quick steps back from me.

"Do you see! I knew that with some classic trial and error you would get stronger pal, just look at you now my expert knifesman in training!" King Metallica shouts proudly from the sidelines seeming to have beaten the men attacking him beforehand, causing me to to want to thank him but I don't have time to respond.

"Shit I need the knife back! Wait, to bring it back to me couldn't I just..." I think to myself as I open my right palm and lay my hand out flat, in which I then shout out, "My Best Friend!". And loe and behold, in an instant the knife appears from thin air just above the palm of my hand, falling down onto it a second later.

"Ah!" I shout out as I forget how heavy the blade is, causing my arm to be pulled down to the side of me and even being heavy enough to make my entire body lean to the right and almost fall over.

Then suddenly the men start to charge towards me, not seeming scared anymore due to how much I'm struggling to even lift the blade most likely.

"Hey My Best Friend, please answer me I really need your help!" I call out to him telepathically as my last resort.

"..."

However there's still no response. "Damn it I'm on my own, how did I swing the blade last time?! Is there a certain tech-" I stop as the men are about to hit me, immediately dropping my blade and running off towards a cheering King Metallica with his hands over his mouth to buy me some time. I smile at this of course.

"Goodness gracious! Even the ground bows before your epic new power, your blade cut through it like butter!" He says as he points behind me, in which the men aren't chasing me but are instead fascinated and standing over where I dropped my knife that indeed is not sticking out of the ground, which proves King King Metallica's statement.  I can't really blame them for doing so, as my own mouth is once again dropped.

"My god, can my blade really cut through anything?! First metal, then a tree, then the grou-" I think to myself but get interrupted as I bump into King Metallica's metal chest and fall over.

"Looks like my pal in training needs to train his blue eyes some more too! Now shoo shoo get back out there!" He says to me with a serious face as he grabs my shirt, and with a quick spin of his arm he throws me forward towards the goons who are now focused on me again.

"What was that fo-" I'm about to say but I soon remember what's really important, "Whatever, so just how did I use it last time? I swung it without thinking, could that be the trick? No that would make no sense, the voice even said that there's a certain technique to it! What else did I do when I swung the thing... I mean I spun my entire body around to catch the guys mace, but then my blade went flying for some reason. I think at least...." I think to myself but lose my focus as the men's attention switches from my sunken blade to me.
