The Adventures Of Kagami - Chapter 8 Ethan The Heartless

For the past 1 month besides my normal routine I read the “Art of Killing” book and I also gave 200 PG to my mother to search for a spatial item for me from the 432 PG that I collected from working with Gin. As for the book I have finish it and I have known that Ethan is a name of a person who was a blacksmith, a writer and lastly a serial killer. He killed more than 1250 people! Under the name of Blood Painter before turns himself in at the age of 80 saying he can’t add more to the killing art. This event took place 200 years ago.

His execution was public because the clans wanted all the families’ members of the victims to notice it and calm down they anger but before dying he spoke some unexpected worlds.

“I made 500 weapons out of my victims and spread them around the world. Each weapon will give his holder a special ability. The one who collect all of my 499 weapons will find my final and ultimate weapon! Ethan 500!”

In every weapon he created Ethan have printed his name and the number of the weapon. Also in this book there is a description of 300 weapon according to the papers that they were found in his place but they didn’t know which weapon was first or last because the papers didn’t provide the time of the creation. The writer of the book was one the guards of Ethan while he was in prison, he didn’t mention his name because he was afraid of the reaction of the family victims.

Reading about the 30 knifes that was described in the book. There is one that his description identical to mine with the name Ethan the Heartless and it is defined by Ethan himself as one of the best weapons that he forged. A long clip black knife that make the holder immune to any kind of feelings or emotions in other world it turns him into a cold hearted killer and also the injury made by this knife won’t stop bleeding leaving the victim suffer until death.

So the knife that I have is Ethan the Heartless! Ethan 400! Well I am still too young to use it and if other see it they will probably steal it, I better hide it for now.

That day at noon my mother come to me and gave me a silver ring.

“This is a spatial ring I bought it for you from a seller who entered our village today it cost 190 PG and it is capacity is 30 Kg, I really don’t know why do you want to buy a spatial item that much only those who travels a lot buy it even some travelers don’t like spatial items because if you lose it or someone steal, you will lose all the things inside. That is why only warriors own one! Anyway make sure you don’t drop it ok!”

Taking the ring I said

“Yes mom!”

After that I dropped some of my blood on the ring then I made it touch the box and the knife the next second they disappeared! They are inside the ring! To get them out my mother told me to look at the ring and the image of the objects inside will be projected in my head by focusing on one of the items it will comes out in front of me or in my hand. Putting the ring on a chain I place it on my neck because my fingers are small and also I want to hide it under my clothes.

For the next month I bought some cords and medicines some other useful daily item like water stone, heat stone, a clock and food. I also took a one month break from ‘Liber’ I am more than ready to go to the chaos world!

Today is the end of the 7 months waking up early I ate my breakfast. Yesterday, my mother made things easier for me by telling me that she will be absent for the next week because she has to guard the portal with the envoys of the Royal clan. She also told me that if I needed anything I can go to Stella.

Walking outside the house, I was thinking that the only chance that I have to enter the chaos world and go out without a problem is to be there before everyone, so that I can make an excuse by saying that I got in by accident!

In the book “The Fourth Holy War” the prophet of chaos always open the portal in a place where it can’t be seen or detected and away from the sun light.

So I start searching, inspecting every place where there wasn’t any trace of light like alleys, bushes and behind the stores. After a couple of hours of going around I finally found it in a bush behind a bakery. A rabbit body, awl head and a rat tail. It is small, smaller then a normal rabbet. Who would have guessed that this ugly creator have bought disaster to many worlds. At that moment I was 200 meters away from him in an alley between the store and a house. Sitting on the ground I tried to calm down. Looking at the time I prepared myself in any moment from now the portal will open.

Moments later the prophet of chaos eyes turned red projecting a black light that created a black circle in the air of a diameter of 15 meters before running away. I was surprised! Even though I want to move I couldn’t! Fuck! I feel like I am under so much pressure. Controlling my breath rate I started running to the black circle and I jumped in! Let’s go and see what is this chaos world is like.

[Atsuko Pov]

“Search everywhere the portal is a black circle, we need to find it and stop anyone from entering in it!”

“Yes! Captain!” said five people and between them there was Etsuko.

“Captain we found the portal!” said a young man

“Where is it?”

“Behind ‘Perfect Cakes’ store!”

“‘Perfect Cakes’?”

“It is a sweets bakery store, 500 meters away from here! There is a backyard behind it the portal is there!”

“Ok! Send Etsuko to go inform his highness! While we will guard it, until they come!”

“Yes! Captain!”

[Etsuko Pov]

I got the orders to inform his highness about the place of the portal so I am now running in the inn where he stays direction.

Getting closer a man wearing golden robe stopped me.

“Who are you? All the rooms are taken in that inn! So if you don’t have any other business go away!”

“I am here to inform his Highness that we found the portal!”

“Aaaa. You are one of the guards. Ok wait I will inform him!”

A few seconds after a masked man wearing a golden robe like the others comes out.

“Where is the portal?”

“Fallow me your highness. It is 200 meters away from here behind a store!”

“Good! Let’s go guys. Last year we found nothing let is try our luck this year!”

So I moved with a group of 15 people to the portal destination.
