68 Demon Faus (1/2)

*”Strong.. Strong… Stronger!”* The word has been constantly stuck in the head of Faust as he pushes his body up from the ground, fast and heavy gaspings sounds he makes resonate around the whole area, his shirt totally drenched with his sweat and his whole body lets out hot steam as he does push ups on the ground.

”200!” The muscles of his arms twitches and shivers, his wrists felt constant pain as if they are put under a moving bulldozer. His palms have turned numb minutes ago. And he has lost the count of his pushups.

”200” Is the only number he has been repeating from the past hour. His chest muscles felt as if they are falling off.

*”More… more.. just a bit more.”* The red bruises on his knuckles shine brightly as if someone has painted them, after a bit more of his trembling pushups, Faust falls on the ground not being able to move a muscle in his body.

As time passes Faust wakes up in a whole.new different world. The sky looks pleasant with pure white cotton like clouds. The whole sky is reflecting on the land.  Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Faust gets up on his knees checking his surroundings. ”You!” A voice is heard from his right and as he turned his face to his side a guy is standing really close with his face in Faust's.

It was the same person as him, Faust is basically looking at himself, but the eyes are filled with blood.

”You cannot be strong with just this training. You need me eventually.” Faust with demon eyes tells to Faust.

Back in his house, the sword of Ares slowly starts to vibrate and the handle of the sword shines in bright golden color.

”Wh-who are you?” Faust asks as his voice trembles and stutters. It was the second time for Faust to meet with himself.

Last time when Lucifer pierced Faust's heart. Suddenly the demon Faust in front of him disappears.

”It's ok, I will always help you.” He reappears on the left side of Faust and says as he rests his hand on Faust's shoulder.

A dark shadow like mist appears beneath the golden color emitting from the handle of the katana. Slowly the dark mist overwhelmed all of the golden color leaving only the dark mist swirling around the handle. It looked as if a bright star just fell into the never ending pits of a blackhole.

As the dark mist too disappeared slowly, a brief change happened to the handle. The whole pattern of the handle and the pure white color turned to black with red carvings.

The signature of the sword 'The sword of Ares' written in Japanese Kanji has also turned from Golden carving to red carving. But the name of Ares remained in Golden color.

Faust is startled with this. *”Did he just teleported?”* He thinks and suddenly he wakes up in the snow in his village.

Faust notices that the  soreness in his arms and fingers is completely gone as he tries to get up. ”What the hell was that?” He felt as though he has once again woken up from the same nightmare as before.

He picks up his belongings and heads towards his house. He finishes his dinner with Gus and helps Gus with packing clothes.

On the next day, Faust goes to the port with Gus. But Gus insisted that Faust stayed back without coming all the way to the ship with him.

”But grandpa! I want to send you off! Why are you so stubborn?” Faust asks with disappointment written all over his face.
