Reborn As The Dragon Prince

Chapter 6

Ruberth felt anxious as he listened to the words spoken by the guards. Every words felt heavy on his ears. Furthermore he was worried as the Death rapier was an ancient mythical weapon passed on from generation to generation. Yet for thousand of years nobody was able to hold it let alone control it.

The weapon was not just a mythical but an ominous weapon that ruled above the death. Hearing that his son was holding that sword he shivered in fear as he remembered from the ancient texts that "Those who are acknowledged by the sword needs to pass a trial of sword to wild upon the death reaper.

If one fails to pass the test he/she would be deprived of his her awakened magic. It was a very dangerous situation. He felt anxious and sweat began to drip from his face. He quickly dashed towards the training ground along with the guards. Theresa who just heard the news from her guards also rushed to the training ground.

Her expression was dark. She was warried to the core. How could a mother not worry about her son. Furthermore she knew one more secret about the sword as the rumours says "The one residing in that sword is not a soul or a being but a godly entity. He is the God who controls the death."

Thus she hasten her feet as she stroded along with her maids. She was afraid that the God of death will take her sons soul away. Her fear were not base less as the death God was an entity of darkness and Ricardo being loved by magic have affinity to the light magic that opposes the dark magic.

As she reached the training ground she saw the mass of the guards and her husband was standing at the front of the group. As people saw their queen they made the way for the queen. Theresa quickly rushed and got herself near the king her husband.

They both watched the unfolding scene with their mouth a gape. The dark fog was looming around their son and no matter how much they tried to call he didn't seem to respond. Meanwhile...

Ricardo was surprised by the view infornt of him. He even thought that this is all an illusion and tried to convince himself but things felt way more real. Then suddenly a strange voice disturbed him. He was afraid and tried to maintain his cool.

Ricardo felt a little uncomfortable as the strange voice was belittling him. So with determination he brought courage sx he asked "Who are you? What is this place?" His question seemed to have infuriated the strange voice as the voice began to threaten him even more.

Kfukfukfukuku... "My my now even the little child of dragons dares to talk to me this way. Have they forgotten my wrath merely after thousands of years." His words made Ricardo realize something. He was not naive to not notice the mockery in those lines.

He concluded that this being have some connection with his race but he was unsure of. He was afraid but more so he was pissed of by the arrogant attitude of the voice which made him feel like puking. He sighed helpless and turned around.

The strange voice spoke again "what are you doing? Are you trying to get out? But it's not possible as long as I don't let you." Ricardo didn't spoke a word as if to mock the strange voice he cracked the space. The strange voice started to tremble in surprise.

"How... How could this be?" Ricardo smirked as he raised one of his hands. "This space is formed of darkness and only darkness can move freely in and out of this space." Before the strange voice could do anything he realesed a faint dark energy through his hand.

As his image was about to fade the strange voice called out again." WA.. Wait.. I have a proposal." Hearing this Ricardo stopped for a while and finally turned around as he said "Don't try to trick me. And answer my previous questions first."

The strange voice remain quiet for a while and spoke " I am the soil fragmant of the God of death. This is the internal space of the sword you are holding on to right now. This is also known as the trial ground if the fated one." The strange voice sounded arrogant and proud yet Ricardo wasn't moved at all.

His expression seemed as if he doesn't care. Maybe it was because of his ignorance as they say that sometimes ignorance is a bliss. He nonchalantly said" I don't want to know about all that. Tell me about the deal. I don't have much patience."

His remark made the soul to tremble with anger but he could do nothing. As t**s state was as vulnerable as that of a little child. So with a arrogant tone it sopke again" I will grant you my power if you pass the trial that I present." Ricardo felt little excited to hear that.

He smiled as he said" Oh but how much power will I gain?" The soul fragmant spoke without hesitation" You will be 10 times stronger than now." This really was a blessing but Ricardo was not satisfied because it wasn't enough for him.

He boldly declared" I don't wish to borrow power from someone else. I want that power as my own meaning that your soul must be devoured by my soul or you must combine with mine." The soul fragmant shuddered as it spoke" Impossible... How dare a little dragon like you dream of engulfing me the God of death."

Ricardo smirked as he fearlessly made a remark" You have no other choice. If you don't agree than I winder how long you will need to wait. May be till that time your soul would be vanished completely. His words made the soul realize the condition it was in.

Ricardo felt as if he won the bet do he asked "Do what is it that you have decided upon.?" His words were quite harsh. The soul fragment pondeted for a while and finally spoke as it said "I will agree with you but I also have one condition."

Ricardo nodded his head and asked "What is your condition?" The soul fragmant then told " You will restore the death reaper too its glory and s*******r 7 of the gods." Ricardo felt conflicted thinking if he couldn't complete it than what will happen but all these things were negligible.

He vowed to the soul fragmant and the dead l was made the new owner of the death reaper appeared. If news were to be spread than many forces will come knocking on their door. As the warning given by the soul fragment. He needs to be more careful from now onwards.

Finally he decided to hide the fact that he got the power of the sword.
