A month has passed since my dad has brought me in and started training me Hive Dragon Slayer Magic and it has been hell training with him. He has been teaching me new moves but he grinds them into me like there's no such thing as the word rest. Thirst he would wake me up early in the morning before the sun came up and make me run 50 miles in a certain amount of time or he will beat me to a pulp. Then after that he would teach me the new move then make me fight him with it after a bit of practice before until the sun went down. By the time we would make it back to the cave I would walk five feet and then pass out from exhaustion on the floor. And this has gone on for that month learning a new move every week but today would be a little different from previous training.
"Hey wake up Null it's time for another day of wonderful training." I heard my asshole of a dad say to me in a cheery voice. I groan. "God damn it can't to let me sleep in for once you overgrown lizard bastard." I say in my tired voice while laying on my face. "Nope! You got training so get your lazy ass up and let's go for a 100 mile run." He says to happily that I think he enjoys seeing me suffer until I realize. "What!? What do you mean 100 miles I thought I was doing only 50." I yelled at him forgetting being tired from this new and terrible news. "Well I planed for every month I would double the distance until I say so." He said in a serious voice meaning there was no bargaining with him over this.
"Oh god this training is going to kill me." I say with tears running down my face after I face planted on the ground. This causes my giggly bitch of a father to laugh like there's no tomorrow. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh my god that is so funny I don't know how long it has been since I laughed that hard." He said in thought with his big claw under his chin. "Knowing you not very long." I mumble to him with a straight face. "Now time for training around the same amount of time with a little more since you will be running a little further ok ready." "No" "Oh cheer up and get to it or I'll beat you up twice as bad as last time." He said with a big smile I glared at him for a couple seconds before sighing. "Fine, I'll get to it." I say right before I start running at top speed. For if I don't make it back in time I will get beat up more than last time and last time sucked.
It has been about over five minutes or more and I have just left the halfway point. Usually that's where I would finish and he would fly me back to our training grounds. But because he increased the distance I have to go there and back in LIMITED FUCKING TIME. Which even though I have gained massive amounts of speed from training but it still will take a while to run 100 fucking miles. "Damnit dad." I yell before I grit my teeth and run faster than before I only had a little time left. Some time latter I am running as fast as I possibly can and after one more second I crash out of the forest. And run head first into my dad hitting my head full force knocking me unconscious.
When I finally wake up it feels like I fell one hundred feet on my head. I groan as I slowly get up with a hand on my head. When my head isn't hurting that badly any more I look around and see my father smiling right at me right where he's laying. I think the worst. "Oh god please tell me I made it in time." I yelled pleadingly to him and all he does is smile wickedly which just makes me worry even more. "Please just answer me the suspense is killing me." I scream at him and he chuckles at me. "You made it with a minute to spare." He says to me still smiling and I let out a sigh of relief then I turn on him. "Why the hell did you do that you jerk." I yelled at him in anger for making me worried that I didn't make it. He just laughs. "Hahahahaha because it's fucking hilarious." He said still laughing. I sigh again 'this sucks' I think.
Then all of a sudden a dead body falls on me. "The hell was that for you ass." I say as I push the dead body of the girl of me. "Heh heh because it's always funny to see your reaction." He says with that pervertedness of his. "Why do you always feed me girls you pervert." I say to him while glaring into his big dark green eyes that are similar to mine. "I just want my son to have the best meal." His answer has me raising an eyebrow at him. "Really, are you just trying to rub off onto me." I say to him plainly. "Maybe." I sigh. "Of course you are, dick." I sigh again and decide to just eat my meal so we can get this training going. So I kneel down and start tearing and biting of the flesh from the body and eating it and I am not finished until I've picked the bones clean. After I am done I stand back up and wipe the blood off me and turn to my father who is still smiling done to me showing his sharp teeth.
"Ok since you're done eating it's time to get you a weapon of sorrows." He says seriously. "What's a weapon of sorrows?" I ask him confused what type of weapon it could be. "A weapon of sorrows is something that every Hive Dragon receives at a certain age, these weapons are powerful and dangerous weapons, but there always different for every Hive Dragon." He explains to me. "So this weapon that I'll receive what will its power be like?" I ask him. "Well." We said in deep thought. "I don't know what you could get but it could be from shooting explosive bullets to the weapon taking your health to do more damage." He said to me which made me want to get my weapon of sorrow so much I could barely contain my excitement. "Well let's get me my weapon of sorrows already." I yell in excitement ready to get a incredibly weapon of mass destruction.
"Ok, ok calm down now listen to what I am going to tell you." He said to me now with a serious expression on his face. "Ya I am ready to do this." I excitedly yell. "Now sit down." I sit down like he said. "Now close your eyes and concentrate." I do as he says and the next time I open my eyes I am in total darkness. "Null can you hear me?" I hear my dad say to me. "Yes." I replied back. "Good now tell me what you see." I look around and still find darkness everywhere. "I can't see anything it's pitch black." I tell him but right after I say that I see something. "Wait now I see something." I say to my dad while trying to figure out what I am seeing.
"What is it?" He asks me. "I am not sure." I say back. As I can start seeing clearer I see what looks to be a thorny vine going out of the ground and going up. "I see a thorny vine." I say as I can see more and more as the seconds go by and as I can see what the vine connects to at the top is a rose the color of blood. "I see a red rose." I say to my dad. "What should I do?" I ask him and after a couple seconds I hear him mumble. "Interesting, very interesting. Well go up to the rose and grab it." He says to me so I do as he says and walk up to it and pluck the rose and look at it then all of a sudden it starts glowing Dark Green like my magic it's so bright I have to cover my eyes and when the glowing stops instead of a rose there's a big ass hand cannon in my hand. It's a steel gray color with spikes coming out of it like the thorns on the rose vine and at the end of the cannon on both sides are what look just like my Dark Green eyes but glowing, and at the end of the barrel it's also glowing the same color as are a few other spots on the gigantic gun. "What the hell is this." I say to myself in only a whisper.
"What is what?" I hear my dad say to me. "The weapon it's so weird." I say back to him. "Then wake up and show it to me." He tells me. I agree and close my eyes and concentrate as I wake up and then I open my eyes and I am back in the real world we're my dad is waiting patiently. "Show me your weapon of sorrows." He says to me. "Uhh how do I do that?" I ask him sheepishly. He just sighs and says. "Concentrate your power into your hand and will it to take the shape of your weapon." I nod and do what he said and poof it's in my hands, the giant hand cannon. This surprises my father. "I can't believe it, it's the hand cannon Thorn." He says in surprise. "Why are you so surprised?" I ask him. "It's one of the most powerful weapons or sorrows of all time." He replies to me which causes me to look over the weapon now name Thorn.
I then get an idea I point it at a tree and pull the trigger. When it fires the knockback is so strong that it shoots my hand up and knocks me over. "Wow this things got some kick to it." I say to myself. "It has way more than just kick to it son look at the tree you shot." I am confused by what he said so I do as he says and look at the tree I shot. And what I see is amazing the tree is dying from decay sucking the life out of it with a green glow covering every part of it. "It's just like our magic." I state to my dad. "Yes it is very alike but more dangerous." He says. "How is it more dangerous?" I ask him confused. "Well our magic causes a lasting effect that damages an enemy over time but it where's off after a while, but that's not the case with the Thorn if you get hit by its spikes even if it's just a scratch they will be marked by the Devourer and will be devoured over time until they either die or the master of Thorn makes it stop."
After he's done talking about Thorn he has a serious look on his face. "So this thing is a killing machine." I ask him even though I think I already know his answer. "Yes." Still serious then something that I heard him say makes me confused. "You said spike what do you mean by that?" I ask with a puzzled look on my face. He looks at me and says. "Point it at the ground and shoot." I am even more confused when he said this with a straight face so I do what he said and get up point the gun at the ground and pulled the trigger. Which knocked me on my back from the knockback. "Ow." As I get up rubbing my back I see it. A black steel colored metal spike is stuck in the ground with the magic of Decay coming off of it. "My god." Is the only thing I could say at the moment. "This is amazing." "Hehe you could say something like that." In my head I was thinking of all the badass things I could do with this gun but was interrupted from my thoughts when my dad said. "Time to go back to training." In a cheerful voice.
This caused me to slump a bit now remembering that I had to finish training. "Why God." I ask as I look to the sky with my hands in the air. My dad just laughs. "Come on today's training is almost over." This makes me think I could finally get some sleep. "Really?" I ask him. "Yep all you have to do is defeat a Hive Knight." He said smiling and started counting down from five.
Five. "What do you mean Hive Knight"
Four. "Is it some person you picked up."
Three. "Why are you counting down in the first place."
Two. "You know what bring it."
One. "Hope your ready for a beating of your life."
"Wait what." Then all of a sudden a big door frame fell from the sky and landed right in front of me. Then it opened and what stepped out was a giant creature wearing red armor with three green glowing eyes and it smelled like a dead body. "This is a Hive Knight it's huge." I yelled but the Knight then tried to crush me with his big sword that I just barely managed to dodge it quickly started swinging trying to kill me so I had to move faster than it. "This is your last training for today so try not to die." My dad said just sitting there as I am nearly cut in half by that sword. "Damnit dad really." I yelled angrily at him from afar. He just snickers with an amused grin on his face.
As I realize that I'll have to destroy this thing I dodge his latest swing at me and immediately run right to him and hit him with. "Hive Dragon Knights Fist." And hit him in the head but he only stumbles a little bit before swinging at me again faster than before. I am not able to dodge it so my instincts take over and lift Thorn up and catch the sword with it as the force cracks the ground under me. I grunt from the impact and back step before he could crush me with his superior strength I then use. "Hive Dragon Roar." Hitting him right in the middle of the chest knocking him onto his back, and while he's getting up I ready my next attack. I start spinning around with crazy speed focusing my magic into my fist and then launching it at him with. "Hive Dragon Boomers Punch." This time hitting him in the face knocking him onto his back once again. Right after it fell on the ground I rushed forward and jumped high in the air and did a frontflip bringing my heel down on his chest. "Hive Dragon Talon."
After that I jump back a considerable distance to rest 'doing all these moves in a row is taking it out of me.' I think in my head and when I look in front of me my hopes fall the big Hive Knight is getting back up even though I used so much magic on it. 'Aaaahhhh what am I going to do.' I scream in my head trying to figure out a way to beat it when. 'Use Thorn you idiot.' I hear a voice that is not my own in my head. 'The hell who's that how are you in my head?' I try to respond but the voice is not responding so I decide to take the voices advise and use Thorn. And the Knight had just gotten up so I point and shoot. The knockback makes me stumble a little but I think I am getting used to it. As for the the Knight it cries out in pain the moment the spike hits it.
Still writhing in pain the Knight charges at me in rage so I quickly dodged it and shoot it four times in the arm causing it to scream even louder and with my enhanced hearing I had to cover my ears to stop my brain exploding. But then I get hit in the chest really hard and the next thing I know is my back hitting a rock almost as hard as the swing of the sword to my chest. As I slowly and shakily get up to see the Knight charging at me full force so I raise my gun and fire three shots at it before I have to dodge but he's faster than I thought and punches me right in the chest causing me to cough up blood and go flying back and through a few trees skidding across the ground before shakily standing on my feet. As I look ahead it's running right at me again and with how weak i am right now I won't be able to dodge again. 'Is this where I die, is this where it ends.'
"No." With all the power I have left I raise my gun and point it at the incoming Knights head as immense power flows into me from everywhere and into Thorn. As me and Thorn are engulfed in the Dark Green flames of The Hive Dragon as I fire my arm shoots up from the knockback. As I watch the spike on fire fly at the Knight and hit it in the head a massive explosion throws me into the air as I see the size of the explosion. Before I hit the ground I am caught by something when I look to see who it is I smile weakly. "Thanks dad." I say to him as he starts flying towards the cave. "I thought I would have to save you there for a second." He says to me. "Oh so you thought I couldn't do it." I say with a smile on my face. "You know you'll have to do this again tomorrow." He says with a big grin on his face. "God damnt." I groan. "Well I'll be taking a nap night." I say as all the events of today taking their toll as my eyelids become heavy. "Fine I'll wake you up in the morning." He chuckles lightly. And with that I fall to sleep.
