Rise Of Destruction - Chapter 15

Amon was currently bare-chested seated on a bench as he reached towards the table, grabbing a hot potato. His skin was currently oily as he had sweated a lot.

He was having dinner with teacher Tai Zi’s group and teacher Boris who was in charge for the hand in hand combat group. It was a big table with tasty food. Behind them, there were many other tables.

On the bench, the guys were bare-chested with their leg sleeve being rolled up to their knees. The ladies had done the same with their lower clothes while their chest’s privates were covered with a cloth. Some had chosen to continue wearing their upper robes due to shyness but they were currently sweating a lot.

From time to time a joke would be heard as the guys would flirt with the ladies. Amon on the other hand just stared at their cleavages whenever he found it suitable to do so. A man was a man even though he was thirteen years old. Looking was never a problem right?

Finishing his dish, Amon looked at his body. It was covered with bruises which were healing at a visible speed.

“Amon I heard you have a duel with Thomas a sword prodigy after a week. You are not far behind him but he has more experience in battles than you do. I would suggest that you withdraw or come on the next raid tomorrow.” said Tai Zi as he drank from his wine.

During his training here he learned about the Fiery Arena. It was an arena for duels between students who had issues between them, just like Amon suspected. What he did not suspect however was that there was the option of a simple duel and a death duel. Of course, his duel was only a simple duel, for now.

“What is a raid, teacher?” asked Amon as he looked towards Tai Zi. During his training, he learned many things including his value as a prodigy, a young one especially. He also received a new house closer to the mountain.

A prodigy basically meant someone with a battle power above their level or age and are expected to become powerful experts after the Elementary Stage which was the next stage in magic after the Initial Stage.

“There are Barbarian Bandit tribes on the Scorching Island. They have many settlements in which they store the things they have plundered. Their number is high and so is their strength but they are not actually a threat for the sect, rather training for the disciples.

The raid is lead by elders like us and merit points can be acquired for every kill, herb and etc that is acquired during the raid. You need to pick it from the mission tablet and come on the front gates tomorrow. Of course, before that, you would need to equip yourself.

As a prodigy, you have the right to receive a weapon in which you exceed. You just have to show your badge to the elders in the weaponry. With merit points, of course, you can upgrade it or get a better one or a different kind of equipment. By the way, it would be better if you hurry and do these things now.”

Explained Tai Zi as he pointed at the badge on the table. This badge signified the identity of Amon as a prodigy. Getting up, Amon didn’t forget to express his gratitude and say goodbye.

He headed towards the mission tablet and saw that there were many sheets impaled on it for one mission which was marked with red letters ‘raid’. Picking one sheet Amon put it in his pocket and headed towards the weaponry.

After walking for a few minutes he reached it and as soon as he got inside he saw the elder at the reception look at him with curious eyes.

“Elder I’m here for my prodigy weapon!” exclaimed Amon as he put his badge on the table.

” Ooh. A spear prodigy..at such a young age .. Follow me then.” said the elder as he led the way.

Even though he entered a building it felt as if he was in a cave. Soon they entered a room which had rocky tables on which Spears, halberds, staffs and similar weapons were lying.

There were wooden boxes close to each weapon, probably for storage. “Pick your weapon youngster.” said the Elder as he looked at Amon in expectation. He was probably curious what kind of weapon this prodigy would choose.

Amon looked for a spear which was strong when needed and also bendable when required. He would probe every weapon and soon found the one suitable for himself.

It was a simple black spear with a white cloth tied a bit beneath the spearhead which was in silver colour, which reflected the dust itself.

“Its name is Silver Sting. It has the inscriptions of locking, heaviness and skin magnetism and is also a middle stage initial tier. Bind it with your blood and you will understand.” advised the elder as he informed Amon about the abilities of this spear.

Dropping a small drop of blood on the spear, Amon instinctively made a grab towards the spear. It could channel energy faster and more efficiently, meaning less energy was seeping out. Locking literally meant that Amon could lock the weapon. It decreased its size and by touching a small button he could make it grow to its usual size.

As for heaviness, it was even simpler. He had the ability to increase Silver Sting’s weight.

“Awesome! Thank you elder! ” thanked Amon.

“Now, don’t forget to bind your badge too, else you wouldn’t be able to access your new home.” said the elder as he smiled.

Soon Amon was out of the weaponry and headed towards his new home whose information he gained by binding the badge.

There were a bigger yard, rooms and denser fire energy. Amon slept on his king-sized bed and woke up early in the morning, equipped with Silver Sting, arm and leg guards and of course an armour. Each of the equipment was hidden beneath the red robe of Amon, except his magic weapon which he even slept with – Silver Sting.

Arriving at the main gate, Amon saw that lots of people were preparing their mounts and equipment. Mounting a good horse, Amon located Tai Zi and Boris and rode towards them slowly.

“Teachers when are we departing?” asked Amon.

“In around twenty minutes. I see you’ve got magic equipment. Congratulations.” said Tai Zi.

Twenty minutes passed in the blink of an eye and the group of hundred and fifty people departed as the main gates opened for them.
