*****

"Is that so? My bad, I didn't think that you would be burdened." I said to Masaomi as I reached the handle of Gram.

"No, Riku-sama. Please don't worry about it. It's an experience for me, and I did get stronger a little because I fought the pressure for a few days straight." Answered Masaomi with a smile.

I raised Gram with my right hand. It didn't pressure me at all. Rather, the sword felt right in my hand and it glowed a little when I held it.

My lips curved into a smile as I looked at Gram.

"Could it be? I have the affinity to be a demon sword user? This sword didn't even resist when I held it."

"That's great then! You didn't even need to use your Sacred Gear!" Masaomi sounded happy.

However, I just held it. I didn't use it yet and I didn't even know whether I was able to use Gram's power yet.

I stood up and held Gram with both of my hands. I tried to bond with the sword, but how? Should I inject my energy like I did when I bonded with Nenekirimaru?

Without much thought, I slowly injected my energy towards the sword. The sword glowed a little and trembled in my hand.

It was like a child that was getting fed after letting starved for a few days. The black blade was now letting out a red ominous aura.

As expected of the one called strongest demon sword, it was amazing. It was stronger than Durandal, a perfect sword to kill a Dragon.

Now I could feel a connection with the sword. I now tried to dismiss it, similar to what I did to Nenekirimaru and puff, the sword disappeared from my hand.

"Hahaha, it's done." I laughed. My mood had become better, this sword alone was worth the problem of destroying Hero Faction.

The next agenda would be Incinerate Anthem, after that would be Valerie Tepes. I had established a friendly relationship with Gasper, but with just that, I doubt he would agree if I asked him to take me to Vampire World.

But well, testing the world came first.

"Masaomi, mind following me a second? Let's try the sword capability in the mountain. Let's have a small spar."

Masaomi took the Excalibur Rapidly in front of him and dismissed him. Hou, so he was able to bond with the sword, that was good.

He then stood up and nodded his head.

"Sure. Please be kind to me." Said Masaomi.

"Hahahaha." I just laughed it off and teleport us to the mountain.

***

We were in the mountain near Kuoh Academy that was often used for the devil to try. I could feel Sona and her peerage in the school, even Shirone was now in the school.

That was why I didn't see her in the mansion.

The first thing that I did when I arrived at the mountain with Masaomi was to make a barrier around us. I added Fear to the barrier to hide our presence.

Gram was one of my trump cards, I couldn't let any other people know about it. Vasco maybe knew about it because I sparred with him, but he wasn't someone who would spread it to other factions.

"Are you ready, Masaomi?" I asked him and called Gram again to my hand.

I didn't need to use Gram's ability in the spar, but I would certainly try it later.

"I'm ready." Answered Masaomi as he called out to Excalibur Rapidly.

The probability that Masaomi would be harmed by Holy Energy had been lowered as much as possible. He was now looked better compared to the first time he held the Excalibur.

He trained hard, and it was visible. Let's see how strong my subordinate was after all this time.

"Ha!"

I let out a small shout and kicked the ground. I reached Masaomi in one kick, and I swung Gram from above.

Masaomi moved his sword with swift movement and redirected my strike to the ground.

"Guh!" He grunted. He was pushed back a little when he redirected my strike.

Because of Gram's weight, I couldn't stop the strike and the blade hit the ground.

Swish!

It cut the ground as if it was butter, leaving a deep mark on the ground. I was surprised by how sharp the sword was, it similar to Nenekirimaru.

Masaomi was also surprised, however, he took this chance to attack me. I quickly pulled Gram from the ground and blocked Masaomi's slash.

Clang!

Our sword interlocked, creating a spark in the meeting point. We both pulled away at the same time and sent a barrage of slashes towards each other.

Clang! Swish Clang!

The sound of blades meeting each other reverberated through the mountain. Our exchange was creating a small shockwave that blew the tree around us.

Masaomi had a smile on his face, but his breath slowly turned rough.

"Hahahaha, what's wrong, Masaomi? Tired?" I laughed and mocked him through the exchange.

"Haa- Haa. I can still go." Answered Masaomi.

The exchange lasted for a few seconds. Thinking it was enough, I put more strength into my slash and swung my sword horizontally.

"Ora!"

Masaomi was able to block my swing with his sword, but he was blown away and hit the tree in the distance.

Crash!

"Ugh!" Air was pushed out from his lungs.

He then collapsed to the ground, his sword fell to the ground.

However, he got stronger a little. It was clear that he got stronger because he could now fight me longer than before.

He didn't even use Excalibur Rapidly's buff, and yet he was able to move as fast as me. While it was true that I wasn't used to using Gram yet. The fact he was able to fight me that long was amazing.

I approached Masaomi and saw that he lost consciousness.

"Welp, I went too far."

I was never expecting him to lost his consciousness. But well, I still had an experiment left, so I would stay here for now.

"Let's try the destructive power of Gram. I'm excited."
