Dark Soul Moon

"If you want to become a powerful warrior to fight against the darkness, you must give up unnecessary mercy." Ashes' voice mixed with dissatisfaction sounded indifferently.

"..."

Artoria remained silent, without answering.

After a while, she pulled out the knight sword from the corpse, and the blood splashed on her face again.

There was no expression on Artoria's face.

Hector, who was watching from the side, suddenly had a flash of fear in his heart.

At this moment, the young king does not look like a human being, but an older and terrifying existence.

"..."

Ashes glanced at the expressionless Arturia, but he didn't speak.

This time Artoria's soft heart made him a little disappointed.

To fight against the abyss, one cannot have any hesitation or mercy, otherwise one may be eroded by the darkness of the abyss.

Artoria returned the knight sword to Ashes without a word, and then wiped the blood from her face.

"Please continue to teach me, Ashes."

She looked at Ashes and said.

"..."

Ashes looked down at Artoria, and finally nodded slowly.

"Hold it and don't let it go."

He handed the Lothric knight sword to Arturia again, and instructed.

"I will."

Hector wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Just let out a sigh.

There may be pity in that sigh, or maybe it is other emotions.

…………

When the three arrived at Hector's manor, Artoria's clothes were already stained with blood, which was stained by the Saxons killed along the way.

Ashes will deprive the enemy of their ability to resist at first, and then let Arturia execute them herself.

In the back, it was Ashes who watched Artoria fight against the empty-handed Saxon.

In that battle, Arturia finally pierced the opponent's heart with the knight sword. At that time, her eyes turned into vertical pupils in an instant.

Hector watched the young Artoria mercilessly taking the lives of alien races.

He would occasionally ask himself, was it really the right choice for that knight to teach Artoria?

Foreign races are not within the scope of the king's mercy, but what if the king treats the people under his rule with such a cruel mentality?

Just thinking of that scene made Hector shudder.

The ideal king should not be like this, he thinks so.

Now that the mistake has been made and the knight has begun to influence the young king, it is up to him to bring the king back to the right path.

…………

ps: The spicy chicken WIN10 made my mentality collapse.

Chapter 5 Training

morning.

Artoria opened her eyes in a daze, and then she sat up directly from the bed as if she suddenly remembered something.

"Ahhhh!!! I'm going to be late for training!!!" Artoria tied her long hair in a panic, and washed it casually.

Then she picked up the breakfast that was already on the table, made by her foster brother Kay.

Brother Kai knew that she would occasionally get confused, so he thoughtfully prepared breakfast,

Artoria stuffed food into her mouth indiscriminately, put on the knight sword and scabbard, and ran to the training ground.

Since she arrived at the manor of her adoptive father Hector eight years ago, Ashes began to train her.

The adoptive father Hector is responsible for teaching her knowledge and also teaching her about knight swordsmanship.

Her foster brother Kai was training with Ashes with her.

Ashes didn't teach the two of them any sword skills, just some basic fighting skills.

"You don't need fancy swordsmanship in battle, you just need to remember how to kill the enemy efficiently."

"So you need to find out the most suitable killing swordsmanship, and swordsmanship is born out of the basics."

These are the original words of Ashes.
