Sword Saint

The world is endlessly vast, and among the many cities is endless war. Monsters roam the wilds with no clear goal, but the recent increase in corpses has made their numbers surge. Two armies fight for control of the center mountain range with it's many resources high in magical properties. Though outright magic cannot be case from a magician, enchantments can be placed on gear at allows a rough control of it's aspects.

His mission: Defeat the right army and find the hidden power in the mountains.

Brutus is born in a border town between the two armies. A recent attack on another nearby town required the combat ready men to fight, however in their absence monsters attacked and killed most people. Brutus was almost eaten by a monster when some people saved him, though his mother was not as lucky. For years, every few months Brutus's father and the rest of the men would have to leave the town and fight the other army. In the town Brutus lived in, he was constantly with his father reviewing enchanted items. Magic tools they were called. Because the town was on the border, there was a constant flow of low level magic tools, though they were just far enough out of the way to not warrant any high tier magic tools. Brutus's father had boots that increased their speed and gauntlets that increased his strength. Speed and strength magic tools were common on the battlefield and his father was a veteran. When he was 4 years old, Brutus was ready to start training to use a sword. Brutus showed great skill with it that he had learned in his previous lives and was sent with great celebration to the royal swordsman academy in the heart of the nation. The trip took a long time and they picked up many other people along the way. At first it was just Brutus and 4 other people, but halfway through the journey the amount was over 50. Reaching the royal swordsman academy there were over 130 people in his group. At the academy there was a test to determine one's natural affinity to use swords of which Brutus reached the highest score possible. Brutus was placed in a class full of nobles and one other who had gotten exceptionally high marks on the affinity test. The born swordsman had been using swords his entire life, from using them as toys as an infant to practicing with them constantly until they turned 6. Brutus was also 6, and so was everyone in the class. There was at least one person with a high affinity in each class, so they were not too rare, but Brutus was exceptionally strong with his affinity. For the training at the academy, magic tools were used for the most part. Swords were enchanted with reduce weight so the movement of swings could be practiced and so if they hit anything it would not make much damage. Using boots with increase speed were also taught. Brutus and the born swordsman spared everyday using their own methods. Brutus was of course inclined to use one very large sword with a huge weight behind it, and the born swordsman had as many as 7 swords on them at any time, two on each side and 3 on their back. Apparently there are a few types of sword masters, in this world called sword saints because of their affinity with swords. First is the Heavy Assault type which uses extremely large or heavy swords, usually with increase strength gauntlets. Second is the Lightning Striker type which uses a very long and sharp blade with decrease weight and increase speed applied. They also have increase speed boots to give them extra speed when surprising an enemy. Third is the Battlefield Assassin type which the born swordsman belongs to. They have many extremely thin and sharp blade on their person with the intent to cut through the armor of the enemy. Almost everything they have is enchanted with increase speed. Brutus received a 5 foot long and incredibly thick sword with decrease weight enchantments on it as his weapon, even though he could have handled it without the decrease weight. The current war front is divided into 5 sections, center, north, south, sea north and sea south. The center section has rough mountains and is were most of the fighting is done. The north and south sections are hilly, but as they go further from the center they become plains. Forest are also mixed in. These areas have sporadic attacks every few weeks. The north and south sea sections are both water-based and have many ships that must be inland for most of the year due to stormy weather on the two sides. The continent is divided down the center by the mountains in the center section, and then the unusually stormy weather at the sea to the north and south. Brutus fights by mostly swinging his heavy sword at enemies defenses, and the lightning strikers fight by using quick movements and range to hit a weak spot while the battlefield assassins use close range and extremely fast and sharp blades to penetrate armor. These techniques are taught at the academy, to hold a huge sword, to accurately move a long sword, and to have fluid movements. There is also more enchanted gear, blood vitality. Blood vitality enchantments can supply the holder with extra blood during battle so that they can hold off on receiving medical treatment. Another enchantment is the scapegoat one, which passes on injuries to a doll enchanted at the same time. These two abilities allow the use of tournaments to judge how well training is going. When someone is it with an attack that would normally kill them or remove a limb, the doll receives the injury, and blood is still produced. This makes it easy to see when someone is hit and to know who is the victor. After the first year at the academy, the first tournament for Brutus is held. Mostly battlefield assassins won, but that is expected with the younger people. Once their bodies get bigger, larger swords will be more efficient. Brutus was not willing to use all of his abilities just yet, so he made sure he lost in the same round as the born swordsman. Brutus and the born swordsman trained very often, just like many other students who got into small groups to train every day. Brutus had been in the academy for almost 2 years and was now 8 years old. While training with the born swordsman, a group of 3 people challenged them to a mock battle. They were willing to have one person sit out, but Brutus said it was alright. The other group was one of each type. Brutus took on the heavy assault type first and was able to knock the sword from his hand easily. From practicing with smaller sword users, the heavy assault type was not used to maintaining flow of the sword when pushed off balance. The born swordsman took on the other two types but was taken out. Against the last two people, Brutus kept his distance from the BA and tried to parry the LS. Brutus was able to get a hit on the LS. Using the large sword as a counterweight, Brutus was able to move quickly to dodge the BA's attacks and was eventually able to even punch him. The punch was very strong, but while the BA was pushed back, the damage was done to the scapegoat, and not blood was drawn so it was not considered a victory worthy hit. Brutus was able to hit him with his sword soon after though. Brutus and the born swordsman trained for the rest of the day. The next day, more people came to challenge Brutus. they had heard he took on all three types the other days and wanted to fight him before the tournament that would happen in a few weeks. Brutus agreed to fight them, but he would need more scapegoats. Brutus must have fought 30 people that day. If not for the centrifugal force on his sword, Brutus would not have been able to dodge the BS. Brutus had a few challenges a day for the next few weeks, and then they stopped before the tournament. This time, Brutus did not hold back at the tournament and tried to win, though he did not use all of his abilities. Brutus settled at 3rd place behind two BA. For the third year, Brutus was moved up to a higher class, but he still trained with the born swordsman. Magic tools are not allowed in the tournament, but Brutus still wanted to train with them, so he went to find out more about how they are made. When someone reaches 10 years old they can choose between the Royal Swordsman Academy and the Magic Tool Creation Guild to learn either sword-techniques or how to make magic tools. Brutus was not a noble tough, and his sword affinity was high, both of these things meant he would have to continue the path of the sword. So one day Brutus went to the magic tool creation guild and explored it. There were many buildings and people of all ages. Magic tools are separated into three major categories, combat and utility and mixed. The blood vitality and scapegoat were both in the combat category, and increase strength was in the mixed category. Something like a lens of increased sight would be in the utility category. Though Brutus could not attend classes, he was allowed to visit the library. There were many people in the library reading books, Brutus was obviously an outsider because of the RSA cloths he had on. Brutus took a random book from the shelf and began reading it. A little while later someone came up to him and asked if he was interested in magic tool creation. It was a girl about his age with red hair. Brutus was 9 years old and would be 10 soon, but he told the girl because of his high sword affinity he would have to stay in the RSA. Brutus the red haired girl made a deal, that Brutus would test enchantments the girl made and in return she would teach him now to make enchantments. Enchantments are made by drawing a rune of a piece of gear or some other item and allowing magical energy to flow into it. The rune drawn determines what the enchantment is and the amount of magical energy put into it determined how strong it was. Things like the scapegoat required a larger amount of magical energy for larger beings, and they are given a matching rune patch at the same time that is applied to the skin on whomever will be using the scapegoat. Only one scapegoat can be used at a time, and they are difficult to apply during battle. This might seem like an unfair deal, Brutus gets to try magical tools out and learns a skill, but testing magical tools can be dangerous. Not only are beneficial enchantments possible, but things like inflicting poison and damaging health can be enchanted onto items. The only way to know if the enchantment was done correctly is to test the magic tool. The enchantment cannot be physically checked because the rune disappears when magical energy is flown into it. Brutus is taught these basic things about enchanting and then taken outside to test some magic tools. Gloves of reddening shades, wrist-guard of smoke. The gray gloves turned red when Brutus activated them, and the wrist-guards emitted a small amount of smoke. Both successful. Brutus gave back the magic tools and went back to the RSA. Every few days Brutus went back to the MTCG to test some magic tools and sometimes received a sharp pain from an incorrectly drawn rune. About two weeks before Brutus turned 10 and would be forced into a higher priority training regiment, the red haired girl had a plan. This day, Brutus was practicing basic runes that could determine if they were drawn correctly easily, when he was asked to test a pair of pants with increase speed. Brutus put them on and activated them. Then he felt nothing. The rune was drawn incorrectly, and instead was a low power create blades. Normally such an enchantment would be on the outside of the tool and be used for knives or inside for small chopping tools, but these pants had many runes drawn on them that caused many blades to be produced directly into Brutus's legs. Maybe it was speed they were made at, or the fact that there were so many, but Brutus only knew something was wrong when he tried to walk forward and fell down. Brutus had his regeneration enabled, so large amounts of blood were being produced at he tried to heal the spots with the blades still in them. The red haired girl screamed and some people came up. There was a huge puddle of blood and they rushed Brutus to a medical ward. Brutus disabled his regeneration and passed out as he was being carried away. When Brutus woke up, he was in a white room blue room. He was in a bed and his legs were heavily bandaged. A nurse came and explained to Brutus that a lot of damage was done to his legs, and it was this reason that magic tools are usually tested on slaves. It was a miracle in it'self that Brutus did not die from blood loss, but he would have trouble walking for a long while, unless he used a significant amount of reduce weight enchantments on his upper body. At the very least, Brutus would be severely limited to the amount of weigh he could carry. The red haired girl was being punished for such a miss-drawing of runes, and would not be allowed to return to the MTCG for some time. Brutus could still feel his legs, and move them a bit, but the rotation of his feet was limited and he did not have much strength in other places. With his regeneration, this could all be healed, though he had a feeling this was done on purpose. With his legs almost useless, Brutus would not be able to participate in combat. Though it might have been painful in the short term, and in the long term it might be annoying, having his legs damaged would allow him to go to the MTCG with the red haired girl. It was obviously her intention. Someone from the RSA came by later to give Brutus his belongings, he was being kicked out from the academy and would have to return to his town. Brutus asked about instead joining the MTCG and was told people with high sword affinity rarely are able to create good enchantments, and that it would be a waste of time. Brutus insisted and was given the magical capacity test. A change color rune, made to turn one of 7 colors based on the enchanter's magical capacity. All he had to do was put his magical energy into the rune like any other and it would change color accordingly. Maybe it was because he was in bed, or because he was asleep for a few days, but Brutus was only able to reach a green color. This was average, but would allow acceptance into the MTCG. The born swordsman came to visit Brutus later and was upset that he would not be able to be a swordsman like himself, but he said Brutus should have known the dangers of testing magic tools. Brutus turned 10 in a hospital bed. Brutus received a shirt with decrease weight applied to it and was able to walk. He had a hard time going down stairs, but managed to leave the building. Brutus looked at his legs which were now covered in scars. His mission was to destroy an army, and with the current pace of the war, just one more soldier would not be enough to win. Being forced into the MTCG was a blessing in it's own special way. A few days later the red haired girl came to visit Brutus and apologized profusely for injuring him. Brutus knew she planned for it to happen, but he played along. Brutus told her that he was going to be accepted into the MTCG and got a green on the test. The red haired girl acted surprised, but said she got a blue, one rank higher than green. Brutus went with the red haired girl to check out the guild. The room he was given was smaller than the one at the RSA, and it did not have as good of furnishings, but it would have to do. She also showed Brutus the magic tool testing facility, and showed him the long line waiting for magic tools to be tested. There was a wait of 3 months for equipment to be tested. Brutus was doing a bigger favor than he thought. The red haired girl showed Brutus a few more things and then left. Brutus bought some rune paint and went back to his room. Walking was difficult so he wanted to make some more decrease weight gear. While Brutus was doing this, his roommate walked in. His roommate apparently joined at 10 years old too, and was a former RSA member. He had low sword affinity and was allowed to join naturally. Brutus was missed at the RSA training grounds. Brutus showed his roommate his legs and warned him about testing magic tools for people. Brutus went back to enchanting. Enchanting was like the early days of enhancing and any other magic system. You have to stretch your abilities many times to increase how much you can use at one time. Brutus was different from most people because he could stretch faster and would never hit a limit to how far he could stretch, but was the same in the way that he was limited to using only his magical capacity for the enchantments. The training at the MTCG consisted of mainly drawing runes and filling them with magical energy, and then throwing them out or selling them. The rune could be verified before putting magical energy into it, but it would take a little while, and before the magic tool could be sold it would need to be tested. Brutus met with the red haired girl almost every day to test her magic tools. Apparently there is a way to see if a magic tool has been tested, because each activation a little bit of magical energy would leak out. A virgin magic tool would not feel a trace of magical energy leaking out of it, but once used it would be slightly noticeable, and after many uses the tool would be unusable. The red haired girl had quite a bit of money from the magic tools Brutus was testing, and she didn't tell him about any of it. Brutus was definitely cheated. Brutus made more decrease weight on his clothing to make walking easier, and he made sure to check the runes before putting magical energy into them. Runes could be placed on top of each other once one was filled with magical energy, but getting one rune wrong would cause the entire magic tool to be useless. In addition, it seemed that all runes were activated at the same time when they were on the same magic tool. Brutus eventually had dozens of decrease weight enchantments on his shirt and wristbands. Brutus's entire top half was probably now only a few dozen pounds of weight. Maybe it was because he was actually thousands of years old, or because he had learned countless things in the past, but Brutus was able to understand runes easily. Brutus made some money by selling his magic tools and continued to test them for the red haired girl. Brutus even made some for the born swordsman even though he did not see him much because travel was much more restricted after reaching 10 years old. Brutus had been in the MTCG for over a year when another injury happened. The red haired girl was trying to make the tool Sword of Flame, which caught things it hit on fire. Brutus took the sword into the courtyard to test it and hit a practice dummy with it. The result was shrapnel flying into Brutus. The rune for inflict flame had an error and exploded the blade. Because Brutus was so strong though, the explosion was even bigger. Once again Brutus was taken to the hospital and had to rest for a few days. His cloths were in tatters, so he would have to remake many decrease weight enchantments, and now most of his upper body had burn marks and scars. At this point Brutus became somewhat of a laughing stock. Lost most function of his legs and now he has scars all over his upper body too, some people never learn. Though this could all be healed with his regeneration he did not. Brutus returned in few days and with the help of the red haired girl remade a shirt and wristbands covered in decrease weight enchantments. Brutus was now on the same level as the red haired girl in terms of magical capacity, and was better can placing runes too. The red haired girl had an idea while they they were making the decrease weight clothing. She proposed that they make an entire body suit made from decrease weight clothing and then some gloves with separate decrease weight enchantments. This would be similar to enabling flight. It was a good idea, but the amount of runes required for that would be huge. It would be time consuming and require large amount of magical energy, not to mention high cost for the rune paint. The red haired girl insisted they do it, for science, so they made the plan. Every week they would meet and do nothing but work on the enchantments. It took a few months but a rough prototype was made. The suit consisted of normal clothing with decrease weight enchantments that had to be desperately activated. The first attempted flight suit resulted in being able to jump high, and being caught by the wind. It was more like a glider. Brutus trained his rune creation every day and practiced something new. He would place the rune of a large flat material and use enhancing to shrink it after applying magical energy. As he thought, even if were the rune used to be was bent or twisted, it could still be used. Brutus began to experiment with additional types of modifications to runes. Because runes were normally small, there were only so many things that could be done inside them, but now Brutus was able to make a run several feet across and shrink it to any size he wanted. This also helped Brutus make the runes more powerful and specific with what they did. Because the runes were so large, Brutus had to use more magical energy to give them the same power as smaller ones, but by drawing them, then shrinking them, and then filling them with magical energy, Brutus was able to make very powerful runes with special enchantments. The first thing Brutus made was Boots of emit wind. It was the same principle of a weapon the emitted flames, or caused the object it hit to burst into flames. Brutus took these boots with him to use with the flight suit and it was a major success. Brutus and the red haired girl celebrated a short bit and went to make the entire suit in on piece, accept this time have gloves and boots separate that could each produce wind. The red haired girl tested the flight suit by going about the MTCG and received many spectators. It was magic unlike that which had been seen before. Brutus and the red haired girl were now 12 and had made a new piece of magic tool. The rune for emit wind was sold by Brutus to the MTCG, but because of the detail in it, many people had trouble reproducing it. In addition, the rune was direction oriented so someone had to place it on a item in the direction they wanted the wind to go. Brutus and the red haired girl were both moved into the high class rooms of the guild and given money to experiment with. Brutus of course did not show anyone him using enhancing to make large detailed runes small, so at the moment he was the only person able to make the emit wind enchantment. Brutus made another flight suit with more power and presented it to the guild president. Brutus's magical capacity was tested again, and he was white. It normally took someone a very long time to reach white magical capacity, but of course with someone as talented as him he was able to do it. A few days after moving into the new rooms, Brutus decided to show the red haired girl how he was making the detailed runes so small. So he did. A few times before she believed what she was seeing. A long sheet of steel being stretched across the floor of the room, drawing the rune on it and then touching it to make it small. The red haired girl from then on helped Brutus make new runes and kept his ability a secret. They made two more flight suits so they would be able to travel easily in the city. Emit flame and emit frost were made next. Brutus made flamethrowers that could throw flames 20 feet. These were sold to the army for a huge amount of gold which Brutus decided to send home. Brutus and the red haired girl requested some time off from the MTCG to go to his hometown. Before they did though, they made three fight suits and made the flame resist gloves enchantments and put emit flame into a tool that out be put on the wrist. With this someone could fly and shoot flames 20 feet while in the air. Brutus and the red haired girl were able to reach Brutus's town in a few hours of flying. Their luggage also had decrease weight enchantments on it so they took the suits and a few changes of clothes and rune paint. Brutus's father was in town and was horrified at the scars on Brutus's body. Brutus told him that he was in the MTCG and that he has some gifts. The red haired girl presented the flight suits and Brutus explained how to use them. Brutus's father and some other town members took turns using the suits and shooting flames from their arms. Some people wanted to fight Brutus but he had to explain to them that while testing a magic tool his legs recieved some injuries and he could not fight very well. It was only because he was using decrease weight magic tools that he could walk fine. Brutus and the red haired girl stayed in the town for a few days before leaving. They left the flight suits after explaining they did not know how many charges they had, but they were fresh before coming to the town. Brutus had also upgraded many peoples stoves and fireplaces with emit flame runes. Brutus thought of more enchantments that he could do and tried to make the flight suit smaller. The run is split into 3 sections. The outer ring, the inner ring, and the center. The center is what determines most of what the enchantment does. The outer ring is like a power regulator and limits the size of the rune, but it can be expanded so that a single run can cover many feet. The outer ring can be extended without having to increase the size of the center section which makes a 4 foot rune and a 3 inch rune able to have the same difficulty of getting the rune pattern correct. The inner ring determines the direction the rune is facing. Brutus discovered the ability of the center ring, and that the thought it did nothing was incorrect. With this knowledge, Brutus is able to make runes the emitted wind horizontal to the rune. A single strap to be placed over the shoulders and around the chest. Brutus put many directional decrease weight runes on this and it was able to reproduce the effects of the entire decrease weight suit. Next, Brutus made boots with the emit wind enchantment and gloves with both emit wind on the palm and emit fire to be used horizontally on the back of the hand. Then Brutus placed resist fire and resist frost runes on the harness on his shoulders. Brutus then put resist wind runes on a 2 rings and then put increase speed on each of them, with both runes being directed at the entire body. With this Brutus was able to move very fast and be unaffected by the wind. This entire process took 3 years. Brutus and the red haired girl are now 16 and very prominent members of the guild. Brutus was famous for making incredibly highly detailed runes and for the emit element runes. Making new runes was very difficult because it had to be made twice because once it was tested to see if it worked the pattern would disappear. Brutus and the red haired girl were constantly trying to make new runes. At the same time, the born swordsman was one of the best in his year. Soon, the born swordsman's class would be sent to other cities to act as guards against monsters, but they all wanted to stay by the MTCG during this time. For the past 4 years flight suits have been coming from the guild that allowed recon over large distances with relative safety. Who knows what could come next. The born swordsman was ready to leave and had his 7 swords, each of them with an emit wind rune on the side of the blade to make it faster. The MTCG did not force people to leave, but students were suggested to after reaching 20 years of age. The born swordsman was going to be headed south and wondered what kind of magic tools would be made in the next four years. With the flight suit perfected, Brutus was moving on to the next suit, the power armor. Though he did not need any type of power armor, it would be useful for anyone on the battlefield. Brutus spent two years placing increase strength and increase speed onto a suit of armor. Also resist flame, resist shock, resist frost too. With this the suit was able to move freely and would work in just about any condition. Next were the combat abilities. Next were create blade runes on a sword handle that produced a very long and sharp blade. If it was damaged, the user could just turn the magic tool off and turn it back on for a new blade. Next was the emit flame and emit frost enchantments. These were placed on the back of the hands again, but flame on the left and frost on the right. In addition to these, another frost rune was placed on the back that could be activated separately as a last resort method. The back rune would emit frost in all directions and was made to be very cold, instantly freezing anything nearby. The power armor took much longer to make than the flight suit, so it was abandoned. Brutus did send the first prototype to the army though, for a significant fee. On a distant battlefield, the other army was starting to lose ground. The flight suit made quick work of the enemy especially when the flamethrowers were used. However, there was something new being tested on the south section. Brutus made more flight suits with the red haired girl and regular magic tools with much higher power when he received a letter. New Magic. Overpowering Army. Need Help. That was the gist of the letter from the born swordsman. Brutus arranged for him to be allowed to go to the south section of the battlefront and observe the new magic. Brutus took the fastest flight suit he had and a case of power armor with him and set off to were the born soldier was. The letter was 3 weeks old because of the speed flight suits allowed mail to be delivered, but if it was before fight suits mail from the front might have taken 8 months to arrive. Brutus reached the encampment sooner than the coordinates on the letter listed, so they must have lost some ground in the past few weeks. Brutus touched went to find the born swordsman. There were many injured in the camp, and most of them were BA. There were almost no HA left. Brutus found the born swordsman who told him about what had been happening. Some weeks ago, it was a normal battle but when the enemy troops were being cut in normally fatal ways, they would keep on fighting. The battle was thought finished by the introduction of the flight suits, but the enemy who were burnt would start getting back up and continuing to fight. The HA proved ineffective as the internal wounded were healing themselves quickly. The enemy army had discovered healing magic and was using it on their troops to make the super soldiers. The power armor would have the same physical ability as one of the super soldiers but not even have the regenerative ability. The next day, Brutus went with the born swordsman to try and find an enemy enchanter. Brutus took the advanced flight suit and the born swordsman had the power armor. Brutus stayed close to the ground and followed the born swordsman to the enemy camp inside a forest. There were roughly 2,000 enemy soldiers. They were larger than ordinary men and had large swords. Brutus was ready to go head on into battle with the 2,000 soldiers but was stopped by the born swordsman. The born swordsman thought it was a joke. At night, Brutus and the born swordsman crept into the camp. Brutus put reduce sound enchantments on their boots as they went in. The born swordsman led Brutus past tents filled with people. It was very dark that night, but most of the enemy were still awake. It might have been part of their super soldier ability that they did not need much sleep. The born swordsman found a medical tent and pulled a magic tool from his pocket. It was a glass tube with Enhance vision enchanted on it to increase viewing range. Brutus looked through it and saw a doctor picking up pieces of paper from a pile and then putting them on injured people. The person would instantly be healed. Other doctors were even reattaching limbs with them. It was clear that this new magic would turn the war completely around for the enemy army. Brutus told the born swordsman that he was going to kill everyone in the medical ward and steel the papers. Brutus crept forward silently and used great speed to stab each person in the tent in the heart. As Brutus did this he went to the stack of papers but was stopped. Behind him, one of the people he had stabbed in the heart yelled out that there was an intruder in the camp and swung a sword at Brutus. The born swordsman went into the tent with Brutus and Brutus collected the papers. The born swordsman cut the head off the people in the tent and told Brutus that was the problem they have been having. The enemy would only die if their entire body was either blown apart or their head was taken off. Some enemy soldiers formed around the entrance to the tent. Brutus still had the flight suit on, and he could get away, but he did not want to leave the born swordsman alone. The born swordsman told Brutus to leave, but he did not. Brutus picked up a sword that was on the ground, most likely belonged to one of the patients, and held it in attack formation. The sword was heavy and long, perfect for a HA type and only usable by someone with super human strength, or at least increase strength enchantments. Suddenly Brutus fell to the floor. He had forgotten that his legs were damaged so badly and could not lift much. The enemy soldiers came into the tent and took on the born swordsman who in that situation had the advantage because of his smaller swords enabling better movement in the small tent. But there were too many and they took him out. Brutus was to blame for this because he tried to get the papers without knowing everything about the enemy. Brutus turned on his regeneration and picked up the sword again. It was light as a feather. Brutus swung the sword in precise movements which took out the enemy soldiers. Brutus went to the born swordsman and applied the healing magic papers like he saw the doctor do and the born swordsman healed completely. The born swordsman accused Brutus of faking his weak legs as they rushed out of the tent. Brutus and the born swordsman fought on opposite ends to take out the enemy soldiers. With a significant amount of soldiers killed, or at least disabled until they received healing magic, Brutus and the born swordsman ran out of the camp. While they were running away, Brutus was hit from behind with a large sword from someone with strong increase speed boots on. Brutus was cut cleanly in half. The born swordsman then turned to the attacker and tried to take him on, but he must have had many increase speed and increase strength magic tools on because he was able to fight evenly with the born swordsman. But Brutus was not dead yet. Brutus yelled at the attacker which got his and the born swordsman's heads to turn. Brutus was still cut in half, and after seeing so many of his comrades die from similar injuries, the born swordsman accepted it, but in this moment huge black worms were wiggling from Brutus's abdomen, and his lower half was reforming. This was the power of his regeneration. The worms reconnected with the lower half and pulled it back onto Brutus and he got up and attacked the attacker. Both the born swordsman and the attacker were so shocked at what was happening they could do nothing. The attacker was killed. The born swordsman was convinced Brutus was a demon and held his swords at guard. Brutus told the the born swordsman to take the healing magic papers back to the camp and that he would be going back to the enemy camp to destroy them. Brutus dropped the papers on the ground and before the born swordsman could stay anything Brutus was gone.

The page is getting too long so i will just summarize this next part.

For the next 3 years, reports are heard all over the nation of a demon swordsman who holds an unenchanted HA sword that turns his enemies into unrecognizable piles of flesh. Even when the demon is hit by a sword or caught on fire, he continues to fight as if nothing happened. In one instance his body was frozen solid and then broken, only to kill the entire enemy encampment a few days later. With the enemy army destroyed, the army was able to move into the enemy land uninstructed and captured the capitol. The only problem was, Brutus destroyed the wrong army. Brutus allowed himself to get killed at the last enemy encampment, far in the north section away from anything important. Then Brutus met Winrar. Winrar explained that Brutus was supposed to see how the left army was enslaving people and using them to test dangerous magic tools when the right army was researching healing magic to help people. Brutus reincarnates again But this time as a slave and leads a revolt against the rulers.
