Sword Overlord - 1 Soul Overload

Year 1111 AD (After Demons).

Month of June

“AHHHHHHHHHH…. HEEEELP” A lady shouted so loud.

There was a village that is under attack by Demon remnants. Demons burned the houses and killed everyone they saw. Demons look like a human with gray colored skin and they also have horns and tails.

They wore a full body black armor. They went on a killing spree, killing everyone they saw. There was only a few Martial Artist around there. They fought back but still, they got killed after a short period of time.

The village was surrounded by Demons and everyone is gathered at the middle of the village.

“Dominic… Live for our sake. We will make a way for you to escape here alive. Just leave it to your Papa and Mama… Okay? ” the man patted his Son’s head and hugged him.

“I won’t leave the both of you… We will live together. We will fight them! ” the boy named Dominic clenched his fist and wiped his tears.

” Dom..You will get out here alive and avenge all of the villagers ” his mother hugged him tightly.

The Demons got nearer to them. All of the villagers made a circle formation wherein Dom and a little girl was protected inside.

Then a two lady grab the both of them and carried them, then a man shouted” GO! ” then they dashed to the demons. They did this to make some way for the girl and Dominic to escape.

” Andrea.. Take good care of yourself …. And Dominic.. As a man protect Andrea… ” the girl carrying the girl named Andrea looked at Dominic with pitiful eyes.

Then Dominic nodded. As they passed through the barricade of Demon warriors, half of the villagers died.

” FOLLOW THEM. DON’T LET ANYBODY ESCAPE” The demon Commander shouted at his troops. Then the demons rushed to catch the Villagers. Then the two ladies put down Andrea and Dominic into the ground. “RUN!” As soon as Andrea and Dominic heard the two ladies shout at them, they then run into the forest.

The villagers tried to stop the demons but they didn’t hold them too long and all of them got killed.

“CATCH THE KIDS, DON’T LET THEM ESCAPE. A MEAT OF 8 YEARS OLD IS THE BEST” Then the Demon Commander licked his lips. The demon’s spirit rose up and then they run to catch up with Andrea and Dominic.

…

“Ehhhhhh? Demon’s raid? ” It was an old man at the age of 72 riding a horse. He has a white long beard and a white long hair. His face is full of wrinkles. Now, he is just a weak and fragile old man. He can’t do anything about the Demon’s raid.

As he wanders in the forest he saw two kids chased by 10 demons….

….

“Andrea, run… Don’t let go of my hand… Hold it tighter ” Dominic is running out of breath and there are only a few meters between them and the Demons who are chasing them.

Andrea cries as she runs and after running a few meters she fell into the ground and dragging Dominic with her. Both of them are lying on the ground. “AHHHHHHH” Andrea’s shout was so loud and high that made Dominic’s ear hurt.

Dominic then found out that there is a long slash on her back and it didn’t stop bleeding. Dominic was horrified and then looked at the Demon with a bloody sword on his hands. He then stabs Dominic on his stomach “AHHHHH”

…

Year 1121 AD

Month of October

“AHHHHHHHHHH” “BLAG”

” Ouch, Master. STOP HITTING ME EVERY TIME I WAKE UP…. AHHHHHHHH NOOOOO…STOP…STOP…I’M SORRY MASTER… SORRY.. NOOOOOOO. YAAAAAAAAH” Right after Dom waked up from his nightmare, his Master Emong hit him with his wooden cane.

He shouted like a lady being raped by an ugly b*stard. “You scared the sh*t out me when you shouted. Is it that nightmare again?”From an angry face, his master’s facial expression changed into a serious mood.

“Yes….. Its been 9 years since then. I was only 8 years old by that time but still, those demons hunt me in my dreams.” Dominic clenched his fist…. Looking back at his past made him feel angry towards Demons.

Dominic has been training for 9 years under the tutelage of his Master Emong.

Emong is a Sword Master, using a sword as a major weapon in battles. He said that he mastered multiple sword skills and other unique skills.

He is now 79 years of age. Even reaching Grandmaster Level, he is nearing his death by this time. His Soul was damaged severely by a Legendary Grandmaster Level beast and wounded his Soul and fantasia he accumulated oozed out of his body before fixing it. Even fixing his soul, he can’t cultivate anymore. His life and shortened, equivalent to a normal human. He travelled the world to find someone to help him but, he only failed to find a cure for his condition.

“are you done training you Sword Comprehension level to level 5? You’re practicing that for 9 years and you’re stuck at level 4 for two years. After all these years, now I realized that you are below a normal human level, or should I say a ‘TRASH’. Swordmasters at your age have level 7 Sword Comprehension and look at you? You will become a laughing stock at the time you enter the academy eh? ” Emong looked at Dominic with a super serious face that made Dominic cower in fear.

” below A Normal Human level your A*s! I trained so hard to be called a ‘TRASH’by my own master…. AHHHHHHH… No.. No.. No.. Stop.

Stop!! YAAAAAAAH.. I’M SORRY…!! STOOOOOP!!AHHHHH… WAAAAAH” by this time Emong hit Dominic with his Cane. With his Sword Comprehension at level 8 and using his cane as a sword and use a normal sword skill, it made Dom shout in pain.

Every hit made a bruise on Dom’s skin. Even his Fantasia ooze out of his body, but still, his physique was at Grandmaster Level enable him to beat Dominic into a pulp.

“Master… You know me… I’m just joki-.. AHHHHHH. I’M JUST JOKING… MAST-… AHHHHHH” he was beaten again by his master leaving bruises and wounds on his body.

“Ok enough… I’ll cast a healing spell on you. ”

A green light enveloped Dominic’s body and as the green light continues to emit, the bruises and wounds on his body vanished as time passes by.

” Do you feel okay now? Dom? ”

” Yes master”

“Then cultivate your sword skills to reach higher Sword Comprehension level.”

“yes I will”

….

“Wind Blade” the wind coated the blade that Dominic is holding. He then slashed it through the trees and a crescent wind force came out through its blade. The trees were cut cleanly within the range of 100 meters and as the wind blade goes farther, it’s width is increased.

“Master Emong said it is still a weak skill, even though it is an epic skill its power is lower compared to other youths at my age. ” Dominic said this while he shook his head, disappointed on his own performance.

” I’m still stuck at Sword Comprehension level 4 and my Soul is only at Sky level. Haaaaist. This is so complicated, I need to reach Master stage to enter the Academy and I need to reach Sword Comprehension level 5 so that I won’t get behind with the others at the academy. ”

” TRAIN HARDER DOM… YOU NEED TO FIND ANDREA” Dom shouted in the middle of the forest to boost his confidence.

He performed a Booster skill: Thunder. His body was enveloped by lightning and his speed was tripled. He then Slashed trees and also using a Sword skill: Devil’s Edge. With this skill, his sword’s will be sharper and harder.

Even though these skills are high tiered, means it uses a large amount of Fantasia, but he can use it normally because of his Legendary Passive Skill, obtained by killing and eating a Phoenix. The skill’s name is Soul Overload. Having this skill will grant its user 5 times of Fantasia than other Cultivators and also at the same time, 5 times Fantasia absorption than the others. Obtaining this skill has a 99% death rate. So far, only Dominic and a few cultivators have perfectly obtained the skill.

The Phoenix meat is so hot when it enters the body. Some cultivators can’t take even a small slice of meat. Dominic eats the whole 100 meters phoenix within 2 months.

With the physique of the Phoenix, it won’t go spoiled even after 1 year.

When he ate the Phoenix, his Soul is only at Mortal level. This is also the requirement of acquiring the Legendary Passive Skill: Soul Overload.

The first time he ate the meat, his body temperature reached 55 degrees Celsius, but after an hour it returned to normal temperature.

The second time he ate it, his body temperature is now 54 degrees Celsius.

And as he ate it, he became immune to the heat and after 1 week he’s just eating it like a piece of cake. And with this skill, he is immune to Fire based attacks and no Ice magic can freeze him.

“Wooooh. I felt so tired!” sweat dripping down his face and he bathed on his own sweat making his White shirt wet and he take it off. He displayed his muscular body full of scars done by his training.

Even though Master Emong has a healing spell, it will just close the wound but the scars remain.

It is almost twilight when he finished training his skills and Sword Comprehension.

“I should head back now. I still need to Cultivate my Soul. I need to reach Master Soul level soon, to enter the Academy” He is now walking to their Small house hidden in the mountains of Limonsito.

After taking a bath, they eat together with his master and then go to bed.

“I’ll train better tomorrow. For the sake of the villagers, my family, and especially for that little girl Andrea. I need to find her soon “
