104 Chapter 104: Death Scythe (2/2)
Caesar walked past Musashi while glancing at him curiously, ”what did you want to talk about?” he asked.
*slam*
Musashi closed the door and walked towards his bed to sit down, seeing this, Caesar pulled the chair from a nearby desk and sat down in front of him.
An awkward silence ensued for a few moments before Musashi coughed and grabbed Caesar's attention.
”Look, as you probably already know, I don't have much longer to live… My son, Ahri's father, was my pride and joy, alas, he was abruptly taken from me” Musashi opened up with an extremely serious face, vastly different from his normal, carefree smile.
”My granddaughter happened to inherit the nine-tailed fox bloodline, a rare and ancient race that could even rival the vampires, however, because of this, she will face many, many, roadblocks as she walks through life. As my only remaining family, I would love to be there and help her along the way… but, fate has different plans for me” Musashi explained in a depressed tone.
Caesar's piercing red eyes flashed, he could see many weaknesses within Musashi's body, more so, around his heart. ”Why are you discussing this with me and not Ahri?” Caesar asked.
”Sigh, it's not as though I don't want to, I'm fearful of her reaction…” Musashi replied, downcast.
”Ahri isn't as weak as you think, the longer you keep this from her, the more hurt she will be… but that's just my opinion; this can't be the only reason you asked me to come here, right?” Caesar spoke while deep in thought.
”Haha, I just wanted to vent out what was hidden in my heart, and you are correct, this is not the main reason why I asked you here… I initially asked you to come here because I wanted to train you in mana manipulation, after watching your last battle, I realized that your ice magic is unbelievably powerful, more condensed, cold, and solid than any other Ice magic I've ever seen. But, because of your crude manipulation methods, it is unrefined and weak” Musashi explained and took a tobacco pipe from god knows where.
Caesar rested his chin in the palms of his hand, and held a contemplative expression, ”I had thought that each affinity had a different method of control?” Caesar asked curiously.
”Well, that's true, however, I can still teach you how to control your element… just because we have different affinities doesn't essentially mean my experience wouldn't benefit you”
Caesar stood up from his chair, ”very well, I will not decline any sort of method to gain strength, let's get started” Caesar said straightforwardly.
Musashi stood up and rested his hands on Caesar's back, ”I will help direct your mana, this is the only thing I am capable of doing... if you had used the weapon that your ancestors used, I could perhaps help you a bit more” Musashi whispered regretfully, just barely enough for Caesar to hear.
”The weapon my ancestors used?” Caesar asked bewildered
”A very long staff like weapon, that has a sharp curve, it's sometimes used to reap fields, however, once the four progenitors used it, it became known as a cursed weapon of death and is forbidden to be crafted”
Caesar's eyes squinted and he took a weapon out of his storage, it was the scythe he had found in the dwarven treasury room.
”Is this the weapon you're talking about?” Caesar asked whilst tilting his head.
Musashi's eyes nearly popped out of their socket once he saw what Caesar brought out, ”w-w-where did you find this” he asked
”In a mountain” Caesar replied curtly
