Seeing the names of the abilities that the soul of the Overseer gave to that sword, his curiosity was intrigued.

From the epic rune came 3 abilities, which were [Flames of Eternal Will-Weak], [Watch Over Will], and [Undead Wielder].

[Flames of Eternal Will-Weak]: The will of this soul's master is the will of his master. And that soul swore to follow such will for all eternity even though in his last moments his body burned in flames. Now the strong will of the soul manifested the ability to create the same flames one his last moments to his enemies. The will of his master is eternal just like the flames. Despite the soul wanting to follow his will though, the lack of strength reflects on the flames. Continuous use of mana is required needed for the flames to stay intact, spread, and burn for all eternity.

[Watch Over Will]: The will of the soul watched over his wielder. If the soul deems the wielder as an enemy of his master, the moment [Flames of Eternal Will-Weak] activates, it will engulf the wielder within flames and use his mana to fuel the flames. Additionally, if the wielder is deemed as an enemy, he will whisper inside his mind to use [Flames of Eternal Will-Weak], the longer the sword is being held, the louder the whisper becomes. The wielder will feel no pain from the flames made by this effect. All for one goal, to fulfill his master's will.

[Undead Wielder]: A undead wielder's soul resides inside the sword, Increasing all attributes by 5 except for intelligence if the wilder is undead. If the wielder is the master of the soul, all effects of the swords get increase by 20%. If the wielder is one of the living, the whisper is 20% stronger.

...

Reading through the variety of effects, Danzel found them to be surprisingly good.

When he first learned that the Draugr sealed his soul inside the weapon that he gifted him, he expect 1 or at best 2 effects at the level of [Undead Wilder]. Useful, but severely lacking in firepower.

After all, the Overseer was just a Draugr, a tier 2 undead.

Though considered rare and strong, capable to raise groups of undead, and if given the chance armies, compared to the higher tier undead, were nothing.

The Overseer was worse in fact, as he wasn't naturally created which made him lack several abilities.

So seeing such an ability comes out, Danzel was extremely surprised.

'So the [Rune of Þolian Repent] effect is also reflected by the soul's will and his surroundings. If the person burns, the soul might manifest fire effects such as does. Though to learn the details, I will have to see with other examples, but for now, that's a good start.' He thought before activating the [Flames of Eternal Will-Weak] effect at his hand.

"Mhm, well, I should have expected it with the effects name being tilted weakly..." He said as he watched his health not drop a single digit.

Though the flames were dark green just like when the runed contracts activated, other than the color of the flames, they were just normal flames.

And with his body being so durable, one would need more heated flames to actually start melting his body.

"Though I good sword...I already have my, so..." He mumbled as he stared at his sword that shook for a split moment.

Though others wouldn't have taken notice, Danzel did and he felt quite awkward.

'Right, that guy is still conscious inside the blade.'

"...Well, I could make use of such a sword..." He said out loud for the Overseer to hear, though there was no reaction.

Taking its scabbard and putting it where his other scabbard was for his main sword, he slowly sheathed the Overseer's sword.

"Maybe in the future, I might get you out, but for now..."

Danzel didn't finish his last words.

He just decided to walk back to the house and think of what tomorrow will bring.

***

The gathering of the Vashara village on the day that Agares and Shiro arrived lasted till tomorrow as many couldn't relax their nerves about the situation at hand.

The brave ones who seek to fight against the self-proclaimed overlord went outside and looked around the walls. Though some wanted to retaliate against him, the leaders of that group were smart enough to stop the idiots from acting.

And with over 4 robed shadows looming over the walls while reading ominous books made out of bones, convincing them to act was but easy.

Alas, 8 people still went up the mounted their weapons with the aim to vanquish the evil crowing in their village.

And soon enough, Danzel and Shiro walked down the mountain, with 8 corpses walking from behind them with the use of [Blood Puppets].

Currently, very few were outside.

But those that were, became terrified at the state of those 8 people.

After all, they only argued a few minutes ago and each person knew the other as they were born and lived in the same place.

The group stared away at their former colleagues.

"O thee Creator, should I deal with those of the living." Baron said as he carried the book on his chest.

"Hmmm..." Danzel didn't respond and simply looked at the people with his ethereal dark green eyes.

"P-Please wait! T-They haven't don't anything, so please~" A woman with a white wooden mask came and fell on her knees in front of the group and Danzel. And beside her, was an old man together with a young girl.

"Isn't she the girl from yesterday?" Shiro said while pointing at the masked girl.

Danzel simply nodded his head.

"You are right." his cold voice washed over them.

The old man and the young girl on the knees couldn't help but stare at Shiro.

But Danzel walking forward caught their attention more than the foreign language that Shiro was talking.

"Now, let's go somewhere where we can disguise the condition of you people not receiving the terrible fate of death."

"Y-Yes..." The woman with the mask said as she stood up with the other 2.

"Lady Priest..." One of the leaders of the group said as he stared at Danzel with fear.

"Go back with the others you idiots..." The older man said as he stared at the leader with a harsh look.

The man who lead the group nodded and guided the people to leave.

Though moments later when he convinced them to leave, the moment they started walking, the man leading them gasped for air as he touched his chest.

The man turned around and stared at Danzel before collapsing to the ground, motionless.

"Hey! What happend!?" One of the group went to look at the leader on the ground, only to find him...

"He is dead." Danzel said with a cold voice.

"Rue..." Shiro said with a frown behind her mask.

"Be quiet." Danzel stared down at Shiro with his eyes flaring up with killing intent.

"My patience is waving, so take that as your final warning." Danzel stared at the group.

"You-!" Before he could finish, an ethereal dark green skeleton hand touched the side of the man's neck before disappearing in thin air.

The man of course who felt his neck being touched had cold sweat on his back and fell to the ground while grasping in fear.

"Hiiieiee!!!"

"Don't forget that your death is always in my grasp. This is the final time that I let this go." He finished as he looked at the masked girl in front of him.

"Now, where shall we go and have that talk with you all."

"Yes...please follow me," She said with a sad voice as he watched the group before leaving the body of their leader behind.

And as their destination was the same as where the body was, they unavoidable had to pass next to the body.

Though the next moment when Danzel bent down and touched the corpse, making it disappear into nothingness, made the eyes of all 3 of them widened in shock.

Soon enough, they arrived in one of the many houses which were slightly bigger and better that the others.

"Though it might be lacking, please come into my house." the old man spoke as he opened the door for them to enter.

With the young girl and the masked girl entering, Danzel turned around and looked at the corpses and deactivated [Blood Puppets], reverting them to normal corpses.

'Look the outside, Baron.' Danzel commanded the Anabast.

Baron simply nodded, before Danzel took the lead to enter the house.

"Mhm..." Entering the house, he looked at the ceiling that was too near his head for comfort.

"I prepared you all a seat, but..." the old man said before staring at Danzel and then back at the chair with worry and fear.

Danzel looked at the "small" chair and then looked at Shiro.

He then picked up the prepared chair and put it in front of Shiro.

He then grabbed the scabbard of his main sword and used it like a stick to place his two hands on top of the hilt.

"Now, let's begin." He said with his flaring eyes lighting up.
