After getting into some battle Marco was taking a rest,
“Well, I see that you can manage the chains well now. Though you aren’t using it at full I shall say,” Yuna and Cedric said one after another as they were looking at Marco trying to hold his hair up.
“Umm, I got that feeling too, I felt that I can use it in some kind of enhanced attacks or stuff, like using wind with them” Marco replied while trying to stop Selicia from baiting him.
“If you want to use elemental attacks, such as wind or fire I can teach you, but unlike Yuna I want a prize for that” Selicia replied to his words after pouting a little to him.
Marco sighed then looked aside taking his time on thinking.
“Well, I approve but if there’s types of like, I’m using the sword to slash, I’d rather use wind like a cover for the sword or some attacks that let me release a wind push or stuff like those, till now I only managed to have the wind warped around my arms” he responded after having an annoyed expression on his face.
Selicia licked her lips as she had a smug face looking at Marco.
“Well, if you need any ideas, I guess I have what you need, after all I’ve released all my weapons and you went and chose that little thing and some chains too. I don’t really see how you can fight with them properly, though you are doing great” Yuna answered as she showed him the weapons again.
Marco looked at his sword and had some thoughts about changing it, therefore that wasn’t what his words or his face showed.
“I’d like to keep this one, more or less, this black rusty looking broken sword has emerged from the bloodstains of mine. Means that I’ve already had an encounter with it” Marco said as he had a calm grin on his face.
Selicia looked at Yuna as she had another smug face. She went and hugged Marco from the back.
“You really one sweet grandkid, I love how you state what you have on your mind straight to the point!!” Marco saw her having a great smile and looked down after that.
Few moments later,
“Put more strength into that slash!!” Yuna roared.
She was training him into cutting things with wind, that was the main idea that came into his head after discussing the things briefly.
“You are doing things wrong I guess Marco! try to be the wind like this,” Selicia interrupted them.
she showed him with just his hand as she swung her hand, slashing the big statue into halves, the statue fell down leaving a strong impression of how the wind slash should be.
“Impressive, don’t go and show off to me as if I know how to do it. In the first place, I agreed on you training me but you are just showing off” Marco sighed as he was trying to figure out what they wanted to show him.
“Are you scolding me!?! I told you before, our family has created the euro or magic circle like you see in the shows, we use our mind, imagine the process of the attack and the result of your attack. What will happen if you lose balance or what will happen? you get these things, the serments usually do the scriptures thing, it writes the process on itself, yours is just a metal scrap, it’s empty and has nothing inside such as spells or combo attacks” Selicia protested so suddenly as she was having a serious face for the first time.
Marco looked to his sword and caught her indirect insult, as she saw that Selicia flustered on her own before continuing the talk.
“But that’s good in my opinion!!” She clearly was trying to comfort him “Having an empty shell means that you can put anything you want inside, as if it’s your own house”.
Marco got a sudden idea right after she finished her words, he smiled and hugged her making her blush for a second.
“Having you hugging me won’t give you any power you know but I like this feeling” Selicia said as she caressed his hair.
After he let her go he took a deep breath then exhaled everything, Yuna and Selicia were curious to see what Marco will do now.
As he exhaled all his breaths he sealed his serment and used his body instead.
“The image process and the outcome of it, I guess I have a basic image, if I need to choose, I’ll do this” Marco was speaking to himself.
He accumulated wind around the palm of his hand and closed slightly his fingers as if he was pressing a button. In a split second Marco with the huge speed unleashed that wind hitting the big rock in front of him and demolishing it into pieces, Yuna whistled at the moment.
“That will do the work still, it’s with your hand not the sword, so more or less like you said it’s just a half step toward your goal” Yuna praised him.
She said as Selicia pat her shoulder “No!! he just stepped a thousand steps, that attack right now, it’s more powerful than the slash I just did, the empty shell idea had given him a great push” Selicia was impressed as she smiled.
Marco took a deep breath after that attack and got to the sides of Yuna.
“What do you think?” he asked bluntly, waiting for an honest answer.
Yuna sighed and pat his head, “I dunno if I should praise you or not but you stepped the first steps, well done”
Marco sighed and felt like a burden got off his shoulders. as the three of them felt like they saw some great development just a moment ago, it made them eager to see what will happen next.
“Then I guess , I’m gonna try this slash now ” he said as he released back his serment.
Yuna and Selicia didn’t get what he meant and were more shocked to see him doing the wind slash that fine as if he used to do it a long time ago.
“You bastard!! Are you mocking us!!” Yuna said as she was slapping him while Selicia had tied him with her roots.
“Well, I felt like I had a push, and more or less I feel like I did this before, like I’m used to this type of fighting, this type of scolding, this type of training. More or less like I said before, as if it was written inside memories ” Marco said explaining his intentions.
“I get it, so you do remember the dungeon” Cedric twitched a brow at Marco as he looked at them having fun.
Marco looked at him curiously not understanding what he meant.
“Like I said, you do remember the dungeon, don’t you?” Cedric said as the four of them sat down after Selicia letting Marco down.
“What do you mean?” Marco asked out of curiosity.
“Don’t ask much, there’s nothing good in remembering” Selicia said as she had an upset face.
“Again, I don’t like when you guys speak of things in that way. I don’t remember most of my childhood, I don’t remember the face of my father or the face of my mother, neither where nor when I really was born, Arthur and I lived alone with grandpa when Arthur was born, anything before that is already er-erased”.
Marco spoke as he looked down after saying his words in a sad voice. Yuna and Selicia looked at him as he stopped moving or even speaking , they figured out that something was off with his own memory after all, despite that fact they also felt something more creepier the moment the silence fell upon the whole place.
