At first Daimon was confused about why did Erin suddenly stood in front of him as if she was protecting him from a fierce beast, but then he noticed that cracks started appearing on the floor and walls of the room.
"Auntie what is happening?".
Erin turned to see Daimon.
"Right… you can't see it yet".
She placed one of her hands on Daimon's head and his vision immediately changed, before he could only see Aura and Erin stood in the room with along with him but now… his eyes widened, he could clearly see Erin's black mana and Aura's white mana clashing against some kind of black mist with red borders that was coming from the sword as if they were trying to restrain it.
Erin saw Daimon's surprised expression and she explained.
"That sword is not called Disaster for no reason, you could say that is unique, as you know mithril is the purest metal that there exists and the light it radiates is lethal to all the races that are related to the night, on the other hand the best magic conductor is not mithril but orichalcum, about 500 years ago some idiots tried to fuse those two characteristics and they succeeded but the result exceeded whatever expectations they had".
"Using a mountain sized amount of both mithril and orichalcum they could only create a block of about 1 meter of the new material, the problem was that just being near to it was lethal as it seemed to make the mana on its surrounds to go crazy… unfortunately like always people don't cry unless they see a coffin.
Aura smiled and took over the explanation.
"An Archmage blacksmith stole the material and hid away on a low-level planet, he used his domain to protect himself and forged a sword with the material, once he finished his work the result was this sword, his idea was that since he added other materials along with his blood, he could be able to control it but the sword immediately drained his body from his mana, vitality and even his soul was extinguished thus killing him".
"After that the sword started absorbing all the mana and vitality of that place until… the whole planet turned into a desert with no living beings on it, it was then when other near planets noticed it and some Archmages approached it to find out what was happening only to suffer the same horrible death as the blacksmith which earned it the name of "Disaster", after that half emperors had to take care of the situation.
"That time the old monster from the Naktis family, Erin and me were the only ones designated to solve the problem with this thing, can you imagine three half emperors had to join hands to suppress the sword, the Naktis ancestor was careless and the sword wounded him so he had to enter a semi-death state to recover and that's how Disaster ended up in my hands".
"After that all the half emperors reunited and the method to create that material was destroyed in front of us, the guys who created it were all executed to pay for their sins, because among the Arch ranked people that died there were some relatives of at least 4 half emperors".
"We wanted to destroy the sword but no one was able to touch it for more than a few seconds before it started affecting them and when we tried to bombard it with magic it absorbed the attacks, so at last we could only use a rare material that is found in the core of a one million years star called antinite which is supposed to seal off any kind of energy be it mana or battle aura to cover the blade of the sword".
Aura approached her hand to the sword before continuing.
"Antinite is blue so… this black and blue pattern it's because after 500 years it had already eaten away a part of the antinite cover, no one but me wanted to keep it because antinite is a strategic resource and the owner had to reinforce the cover when it started causing problems again", she then looked at Daimon and her eyes seemed to glow for a moment.
"But now… I think there is a chance to find a proper owner for Disaster ?".
Erin almost lost it.
"You are crazy, if you think I'm going to let little Daimon approach that thing!!!".
Aura shook her head.
"Erin, you almost tricked me a moment ago, but although I can't identify what is that kid but I'm sure he isn't a werewolf nor a twilight alluring fox, you know, I have fought against a lot of races, magic beasts and even monsters that go against common sense but I have never seen something like him".
Erin cleared her throat.
"Ahem, so what are you saying that he needs to be able to control Disaster for you to support him?".
Aura smiled.
"Nah, as I said I have never seen something like him and I like the fact that I can't even imagine how strong can he become, that is why I believe he will be able to do something none of us can, it's hard to explain I just feel like that will be the case, a hunch I guess".
While Daimon was lost in his thoughts, he heard Evangeline laughing.
"A predator can recognize another predator huh? Hahaha, this woman has actually fought so many different things on her life that she developed a sensibility against different species, that is… incredible".
Daimon interrupted whatever plan Evangeline could be scheming.
"Can you protect me against that sword?".
…
After a moment Evangeline answered.
"No problem you are an apex predator so there is nothing that can prey on you in any mean of the word, however I can't help you tame that thing at least not right now, so it is up to luck… if my supposition is right then that sword might already developed a consciousness so it will only accept you if it finds you to its liking, pray to the heavens that it is woman hahaha".
Daimon internally sighed, "come on can't you take it seriously".
He took a few steps ahead but Erin tried to stop him.
"Little Daimon… it's not necessary to take this risk".
Daimon smiled.
"Don't worry, I wouldn't do it if I weren't sure that the sword can't… harm me".
He then approached the case and after taking a deep breath he placed his hand on the handle the sword, for a moment he felt as if his body was losing all its strength but then it stopped, he thought that was the end of the situation but as if it felt provoked his magic core woke up from its slumber and started rotating again.
Both Erin and Aura were in awe, they saw Daimon touching the sword and like always it seemed that Disaster was about to start draining his mana but then… the energy being radiated by the sword started being absorbed by Daimon's body.
Erin couldn't help but raise her voice.
"What the hell is happening!!!".
Aura was frozen, although she expected that Daimon would be able to resist Disaster, she only thought that he could stand its effect for a longer time than other people but instead… he was overwhelming it!!!
But the most surprised one in the room was none other than Daimon.
"So now my stupid magic core decided to work again", he thought.
Still even if it looked as if he was absorbing the energy from the sword, his magic cultivation was not going up at all, so he didn't understand what was happening.
"Oi Evangeline is my magic core rebelling against me or something?".
Evangeline shook her head.
"Mm not really, the energy of that thing is too far above what you can handle right now, so it is probably being stored inside your magic core for later usage".
Their conversation was interrupted by another female voice that sounded in Daimon's head.
"Stop, stop please, I surrender I don't want to lose control again!!!".
Daimon smiled.
"I guess you are Disaster, why should I stop? you tried to kill me a moment ago".
The woman replied in a pleading voice.
"It is not something I can control… it's like breathing for you, I have never attacked anyone that didn't try to harm me, my name is Narasha not "Disaster", please stop stealing my energy".
Evangeline stepped in.
"She is telling the truth… the decision is up to you".
Daimon contemplated things for a moment before ordering his magic core to stop, surprisingly this time it seemed to obey him as it stopped absorbing the energy from the sword.
…
After a moment of silence, the same voice spoke again.
"Thanks… I told you my name but you haven't told me yours?".
Daimon was a bit perplexed, for being such a horrifying weapon it had quite an easy-going personality.
"Daimon Licht, I guess you can call me Daimon, and now what?", he asked.
Narasha doubted for a second before saying.
"It's the first time I have been able to communicate with anyone so… if you don't mind will you listen to my story?".
Daimon turned to see Aura and Erin who were still trying to process the fact that the energy radiating from Disaster was calm instead of its usual aggressive behavior.
"Auntie, miss Aura… it seems like I'm not affected by the sword, I'm going to try making a contract with it".
They exchanged gazes before nodding, Aura shook her head.
"Seriously what kind of little monster did you found… you old vixen", she said.
Erin smiled.
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you hehehe ?".
