"Yeah, I did, a long time ago. I created it hoping it would help the Demons defend themselves from the Gods."

"Did it work?" Lucian asked looking at the old man that just remembered a bad memory.

"No, it failed, it failed because the weapon was to evil, even for Demons."

"You see when people find their Soul Weapon they try to accept it, they try to change their personality to match the Soul Weapon, change their soul which ruins the whole point of the Soul Weapon."

"And that is the reason I brought you here, this is a Demon Ruin, they are all connected so as we get further and further into the Demon Ruin we will be closer to the Main Hall of the Underworld."

"But when are we going to go to the tryouts?" Lucian asked worrying for Luna

"Oh, we are not going back until you learn how to push away the evilness of this place."

"But Lun-"

"I thought I told you she was safe". The old man said once again releasing his aura that showed his authority above Lucian.

"Now for the training, alot of animals somehow end up in the Demon Ruins and are corrupted by this place, they lose any sense of sanity and attack anyone they see. The further you travel the stronger they will be."

"Begin" The old man said.

As they started walking, Lucian could already see corrupted animals, they were rats that were a bit larger than regular rats, had pitch black eyes fangs half of their body lenght and teeth like a full grown tiger. Lucian charged without hesitation, and while it was easy to kill them and evade their attacks, they were pretty hard to hit considering their size. Lucian adapted rather quickly and started to minimize his movements and predict where the rats were goin to attack. He did not kill any of them, just practiced. Eventually all the rats were knocked out.

"Why did you not kill them?" The old man asked

"Oh, I just loathe killing, it is not in my nature."

"Are you afraid to kill or is there a different reason?"

"To be honest, anytime I want to kill someone my Soul Weapon calls out to me and it feels like it is changing me."

"That is only because you want to kill someone because of hatred, if you learn to kill without hatered it will not affect you, it will not change you."

"I just never liked killi-"

"Do you want humanity to perish?" The man asked

"No.." Lucian answered in a low voice.

"When you have to fight Demons and Gods you are going to have to kill them, and I know your resentment towards Gods, if you do not complete this the weapon will corrupt you and you will lose, humanity will lose."

"You want me to kill Demons aswell, I thought you were a Demon yourself since you created the weapon"

"So what if I am? I hate my kind, all they care for is destruction and killing. Humans are innocent beings that should not be involved in the conflict between the Gods and Demons."

Lucian could not reply to his reply, instead he gave him an awkward nod and moving deeper into the Demon Ruins.

As days went by in the Demon Ruins, on the outside it had been a couple of moments. Lucian encountered bigger and bigger beast each more ferocious than the last one, killing all of them and utilizing his magic, he was cutting his movements shorther and shorter and infusing his legs with his moonlight magic. He could take 300 steps in all directions inside 1 meter in the blink of an eye, hitting him was a near impossible task, and with time this ability would improve. Lucian called it Moon Step. He killed every opponent he had to face, at first he was not fond of it, as time went on he started to enjoy it, but the old man warned him not to take pleasure in that, otherwise he would not be any different than Gods or Demons. Lucian surpressed his emotions and after a full month of killing and walking he did not feel anything after killing. Killing was now a task as simple as going to the bathroom. Lucian had killed every beast that walked adn it was time to get out of the Demon Ruin. As they were on their way back Lucian wondered where was Luna. He made his way through the portal-wall back into the Kingdom of Nairda where Luna was waiting for him.

"That was quick" Luna said.

"What do you mean quick?" Lucian had a confused expression on his face.

"You went in about 3 minutes ago, what did you even do in there?"

"3 minutes what are you talki-" 

"I am sorry we just chatted for 3 minutes about a serious topic so it felt like an eternity in his head" The man cut Lucian off and gave him a stare that meant to stop talking.

"Oh I guess it has only been 3 minutes, silly me" Lucian said with a forced smile.

"So should we go back to the tryouts?" Luna asked

"Not yet young lady" The man said 

"First we have to get you guys suited up"

"I hate the way he said that" Lucian said to himself.

"Come on, we do not have any time to waste." 

"Come on Luna"

"Are you sure about this one Luc?"

"Did you just call me Luc?" Lucian said with a provoking grin.

"Shut it!" Luna punched Lucian in the face, that did not leave any damage on Lucian but he pretended to be blown away by the punch.

"Geez, sorry" Lucian said

Luna ignored him

"Yeah I am sure, we should follow him".

They began to follow him, and soon after they were at the front door of an old house.

"Come in"

Lucian looked through the opened door and all he had to say was..

"Oh what the fu-"
