Chapter 22 - A New Weapon

Shiva was sitting on a rock watching his cute skellies fighting against a demon orc of lv.30 while Kapali was fighting against a demon orc on his own.

Demon orcs were a rare species inhabiting the first floor of Underground, they were inherently strong and as massive as a two-floor building in size, they also possess a strong regeneration capacity which makes them a tough opponent to fight against.

It has been six months since he entered 'Atal', at first he thought to train here for a few days and move onto next floor but, fighting against monsters became too hard for him that he was to save his life. He then understood that without his undead or any companion by his side he was weak, extremely weak at that, all it needed was a sneak attack from a decent assassin to take his life.

So he asked Kapali to train him, everything was good at first, Kapali trained him to the extreme, he made him run around all day while being tied to a huge rock on his back and telling him to fight monsters like that. the true hell started in the second month when Kapali told him that his physic is weak and added some more chores for him to train, he was already at his wit's end by the end of two months and was on verge of collapse,

But another problem was withholding his further training with Kapali, it was the weapon, Even though he was fighting with a dagger from the start of the tutorial, he was not good with it, Hell! He was worse, he didn't even know the basics about daggers.

as for other weapons like Sword, Spear, Axe, blades, Knuckles, mace, wand, and others....Let's do not mention it,

He was a complete greenhorn, except for his will to fight and ruthlessness, everything else was just that bad. Well, he did contain 'Pinaka', which he tried to use but with normal arrows, its string won't even budge, unless he found some special arrows, it was just a toy.

He was turning his brain in and out for solutions when he remembered about something,

'Custom item box(epic)'

it was the reward he got after killing 500 monsters, but at that time with all the clashes and things happening with the Forgotten legend, He forgot about that.

He instantly opened inventory and took it out as he ordered the system to open it,

[are you sure you want to open 'Custom item box(epic)']

"yes"

but the box didn't open yet and asked another question,

[Choose a type of item you want,

1. Weapon

2. Equipment

3. Miscellaneous items

4. random ]

without even thinking about more things he choose the Weapon section but once again there was another question,

[What type of weapon do you need]

"hmmmm..... that's a tough question, let's see...hmmm..... a weapon which can even cover my back, a weapon which is as sharp as a blade, as long as a spear, as deadly as a dagger, as magical as a wand, as strong as an Axe and hmmm....as comfortable as a stick and....as sturdy as a shield and....."

[System received too many requests]

the system cut him off even before he could finish,

[Found a suitable weapon]

He was over the moon hearing this as he was just spouting bullshit about the weapon, he didn't even sure if that kind of weapon exists or not.

[detected the weapon is too good as a reward]

He immediately become anxious thinking that whether did he swallowed more than what he could chew,

"what, don't go on deciding things on your own, give me my reward you damn system"

[Forcefully reducing its rank make it a fair reward]

[You have obtained 'Death Scythe']

[Death scythe:-(normal)(Growth)(sealed)

A weapon made for taking lives, The one who wields this weapon will become an absolute ruler of death, The weapon will only show its full potential in the hand of the worthy. Only the Worthy shall become the Absolute Ruler of Death.

It was a weapon with a long body about 170cm shaft, with a short support Handel in the middle and a very sharp blade which about one-third of the circle, covering his whole front.

The weapon itself even in its sealed condition was powerful as hell, its life-stealing ability was actually godly, which will help him to fight continuously if needed.

but what made him shudder was the last sentence, its unsealing condition,

Experience Death,

Was this damned tower playing with him now?

Does this damn tower what him to die or what?

anyway now he had a weapon to train with and thus started another round of vigorous training of Shiva with his new Weapon.

***

In a Dark place stood a majestic massive statue and coiled around it was a massive serpent, it was resting peacefully on the shoulders of the statue when suddenly the space in front of it distorted and walked out from it was a bull faced creature with the human body and it seemed he was in panic and a numerous 'bull humans' entered after him while carrying a young calf which seemed to be sleeping or unconscious.

"This is bad, this is very bad, Vasuki..."

said the bull in panic,

the serpent slowly opened its eyes as it started to talk,

" Calm down, calm down Nandi, tell me what happened first"

"See for yourself" The bull faced man pointed at the young calf as he said to the serpent,

"You recognize it don't you, some bastards attacked it this morning, i don't know what will happen if my lord comes out of meditation and found him dead like this, this is very bad" he started to panic again.

"It's indeed bad? Nandi leave this place at once, I don't want patal to be destroyed by my lord's rage" said the Serpent hurriedly,

"ahh...! Vasuki, don't abandon me now, I am going to die at my lord's hand at this rate"

"Jess.., what can I do I can't bring back the dead now? can I"

saying so the serpent turned its head around avoiding the gaze of a bull-faced man. It accidentally looked at the body of the man in one corner and remembered his subordinated report about how a body which is neither dead nor alive is found, and something in its head got turned on,

"wait a minute...!" It blurted out,

"What Vasuki, can you revive him?" asked the bull-faced man with expectations,

"well, I can't and I am not sure if it's revival, but...."

"But?"

The serpent pointed at the young man's body from its tail and said

" If it is him, he can do something, I guess"

The eyes of everyone present drifted to the young man's body.....
