The Cursed Sword.

Entering the 7th gate, the place looked strange to him.

There was no fire lava in this place, but the energy pressure in this place was hotter than all the gates he had ever passed.

In front of him there are many different kinds of weapons scattered.

Spirits like ghosts fly in this place.The voice sounds sad like a dead spirit curious,"Return my Soul."

Slowly he walked guarding this gatekeeper, but all he encountered was a collection of curious spirits.

Some of the spirits also tried to attack him, but his sword could not penetrate the spirit.

Every time the young man slashed his sword, it only looked like he was slashing the wind.

But the spirits can even injure his body.

The young man tried various ways to fight the spirit, but he still could not touch the curious spirit.

While running away avoiding the Spirit in his mind.

"I have to find a way to get rid of this spirit."

But the Spirit continued to pursue him, until he finally met an old grandfather.

With a single slash of his sword the spirit was successfully destroyed.

This grandfather was wearing an all-black robe, his long hair was already bleached.

That aged-looking body still held an extremely frightening amount of Soul Power Energy.

His name was Yama a swordsman from the 7th Gate.

"Your sword has no heart."Said the old grandfather in a soft voice.

The young man wondered in his heart. "How can an inanimate object have a soul."

But quickly the grandfather immediately took the sword in the young man's hand.

He observed the sword for a long time as if he knew it.

While shedding his tears the grandfather mentioned the word "Shi no daiken."

"Where did you get this sword from...?"Yama.

"at that moment I was cursed by a black flame, after I had absorbed the flame suddenly my long sword changed like this."

The young man explained his every occurrence from the start, until he displayed a black fire seal on his left palm.

The grandfather was a little surprised to see the seal on Nchex's left hand.

He actually found out about the seal, the grandfather finally started to tell himself.

"I am one of the faithful followers of the God of Death named Shinki.Symbol in your left hand is not a fire seal, but rather it is a remnant of the spiritual energy of the God of Death.

While the sword you have right now, is one of the curse swords.

At that time there were 13 powerful SangCasters tasked with protecting this world.

One of them is Shinki, my master is known as the fastest killer.

Hence the people gave him the nickname of the god of death, When this sword had already given off its original aura no opponent could escape from it.

Maybe this is the destiny my master wants to leave to you."

"Are all the races going to fight against the Demon Army...?" Ask Nchex seriously.

"That might be true, but there are those who are stronger than the Devil Race.

Where in that great war even the God Race was almost destroyed, it involved all races from all over this Soul Caster world.

A prophecy says When the Great Storm comes, 13 people stand leading the universe.

Although I myself am not sure of that, but one day a great war will surely happen.

Since you have some inheritance from my master, then in this exam I alone will train you."

"Please guide the elder."

"Alright to bring out the original potential of this sword, you must kill 1000 spirits first.

The more this sword kills, the heavier it also feels.

The heavier the load, the bigger the attack."

"How can I defeat this spirit, and touch it I can't."

"That's because you don't have a Soul Sword yet.

To do that you must understand the character of the sword itself.

If a user's willpower is strong, then the sword is also getting sharper."

The old man handed back his sword.

At this moment he was still confused by the words of the grandfather.

But he still tried cultivating to communicate with the sword soul.

5 Days have passed without any results or answers.

The next few days the result was still the same, the young man was already close to giving up.

The young man continued to think inside his head, if he gave up at this moment it meant that he did not have a strong determination.

The young man continued to cultivate for 1 month.

Until finally the sword gave off an almost dim black light.

The faint sound of the sword could be heard.

"Kill or be killed."

The black light began to enter his hand.

The young man's body began to move on its own, bringing out some techniques that he had yet to comprehend.

It seemed like this sword had its own consciousness, when it also managed to destroy one spirit.

The young man attacked again this time he poured a bit of Soul Power into the sword.

Only with his Wind slash could he defeat five spirit souls.

Once again he tried, this time by combining Magic Power into it.

The sword immediately flew over the curious spirit very quickly.

But the young man could also feel his sword at this moment begin to gain weight.

Yama again explained to him about the advantages of the sword.

"One of these curse swords has the skill specialty of enlarging the attack power and absorbing the soul of the affected opponent being killed by it.

However, this sword also absorbed a lot of soul power energy from its user.

Hence this sword was referred to as the curse sword, he would continue to fight even though its user was already an undead."

"I don't seem to be used to it yet." Nchex replied with a smile.

The young man again continued to defeat the curious spirit, one by one from the spirit he had destroyed.

Until finally he had managed to defeat 100 spirit souls and was successfully absorbed by his sword.

The originally dim black light had now started to give off its black aura again.

But at this moment he was no longer able to lift his sword, his Soul Power also began to drain.

"Is there any way to overcome this...? Ask Nchex.

"At that time my master had a technique to lighten the weight of his sword, so he could use it easily."

Nchex recalled that the technique had been used by Shadow.

It was a gravitational technique that felt from the right eye of the god of death, but he currently only had his left eye.

"I must snatch the Artifact from him" Nchex said inwardly.

He asked back.

"Is there any other way than that...?"

"Of course there are, but this way will be more difficult to do.

You must combine both weapons of the same level, but if the merger fails one of your weapons will be destroyed."

The young man became a little speechless, there seemed to be no way he could do it for now.

But Yama spoke again to give him some encouragement.

"I heard that gatekeeper 9 has a Spear of Darkness when combined with that thing there is a possibility that it can remove the curse from this sword."

The young man got excited again, he resumed his training.

To overcome the weight of the sword he used a teleportation technique.

Yama who saw this he was also getting shocked.

"Hemm this young man is quite impressive."

Various death god techniques were displayed before his eyes.

It was as if grandfather was looking at his old man in front of him.

another 1 month passed finally the young man managed to pass this test.

His cultivation had also increased to level 7.

Grandpa spoke again.

"Before you proceed to the next gate I will teach you some sword techniques.This technique I name Judgment Armageddon.

Where this technique has a very large area attack."

When the grandfather showed this technique, his Soul Power turned into a huge tsunami storm.But when Nchex who uses this Technique, his Soul power turned into a rain of fire.

But he was very happy with this new technique, it was possible that he could develop this technique to become much stronger again.

"With this my task is also done, may you become the next god of death."Yama.

In a moment, he gave the sword in his hand to Nchex, as he also realized for now that his death god sword was very heavy to use.

The young man went back inside the 8th gate.
