“This…” I moved my eyes in between this bone that never looked anything like the ones I had in my inventory for such a long time and Oglak.
“Lord… The magic show is just about to start now,” and as he said it, he raised his arm high in the air, letting his blood gush out like a fountain and cover up his fist.
Then as if he was punching it, he closed his fist and landed a strong hit over the bone.
“No one knows who gave such a technique to the entire cosmos, or invented it. But this technique is widely known as the magical binding technique.”
And as he said these words, he started to jump around the bone, punching it with his blooded fish, causing a silent clash that released tons of energy from the bone, tempering it further and getting it to shrink even more.
I looked in daze and amazement, wondering how come I’d know about all this. He said it was a universe wide known information, but I never heard about it before.
It must be only known in a limited circle, a circle of elite people with extraordinary status and power.
I watched and engraved the movements he was doing to the mind. He wasn’t just randomly jumping around, but he was doing this over twelve points in the air, all surrounding the bone from all directions, forming a twelve headed huge star with my bone at its centre.
And he kept punching, faster and faster, until he finally completed twelve rounds, each composed of twelve punches.
“It’s ready,” once he did that, he stopped, sucked in a deep breath before he finally hit his chest with his blooded fist, forcing himself to cough fresh blood over the bone.
“This…”
“The last touch must come by blood carrying part of your soul and power,” he said, and he seemed a little weak in my eyes, “but it’s worth it! Now this bone is ready, and is considered a priceless treasure.”
“Treasure?!!” it was indeed looking like one. After that last gush of blood he left over the bone, it started to emit dazzling arcs of energy, that gave me an intimidating feeling.
“Lord… Try holding it out,” he threw it once it was done towards me, “leave a single drop of blood over it and you’ll get to know its remarkable effects.”
“O… Ok…” I held the bone, and this seemingly much smaller one felt very heavy. I didn’t delay and left a blood drop over it.
And the moment this happened, my mind started to feel squeezed as if someone was holding it in between its two gigantic and brutal hands.
It went all blank for a few seconds before the world became clearer again.
“What just happened… This… This…” and just before I’d ask him about what this bone did, I saw my body.
It was a gigantic body, not the small human body I used to have. It wasn’t only huge, but it also was covered in a red coloured leather like material.
It was… I was… I was just another image, exactly the same as Oglak.
“Lord, your bones coupled with this ancient and mysterious technique can grant anyone the power of the one who tempered it for as long as the energy inside your bone can sustain. As long as the lord is holding the bone close to his body, this effect will last.”
“This… Did I also get your power?”
“Power, cultivation base, everything I got you got right now… Imagine having thousands, tens of thousands, or even millions of these bones… Can lord see how fierce and pretty damn important these bones are?”
“This… This is remarkable!” I closed my fists tightly, feeling the gush of super power inside my body. I looked at the direction of the ground, and without hesitation I jumped and fell down and punched it.
*Rumble!*
A deep hole appeared, and the ground all around caved down in such a violent explosive rumbling sound.
And then I looked at the sky and the next thing that happened was for me to fly! I actually flew! Damn! Damn! This…
“Lord… You got my power… You can let anyone grant anyone their powers… These bones… They are really priceless treasures!”
“Damn! And I sold these for such a cheap price? Damn me!” I cursed while feeling more enraged at the moment.
I was feeling like getting tricked or something. I did everything fair with those I dealt with. But in the end, none dared to tell me the real implications of my bones.
And how would they? If I knew, If I got this piece of info from the start, then I would never have thought about selling my bones, not even at such a cheap price.
I got to raise my price! I got to start storing up these bones for my forces!
Just imagine what would be the case if I let all the Hescos I got to grant their powers to all the forces I got? Damn! This… Just imagining this made the blood in my body boil.
I didn’t have any doubt… These bones of mine were really something outside of the reach of my universe, and perhaps all the other universes in this cosmos!
“You said that these bones can grant anyone the power of the user… I got its value for us, but for the other universe…”
“Lord… The basic technique used to activate the bones is one that none knew its source. It is widely spread across all universes, and can be used over such precious and rarely found treasures in any universe. It can be used by any race, no matter its origin… And so…”
“They want my bones to grant more power to their forces… This…”
“I know… It’ll bring much trouble to our people. But, on another side, these bones are all consumables. And besides… The Lord can negotiate and raise the price, making sure the other side wouldn’t get such bones in large amounts.”
“You got a point,” that was given, “but for me it’s better to limit the trade than using the high grade ones with these folks.”
