Chapter 83: Brutal Training (2)
Yet the idea of having someone carrying the legacy of the Godslayer Sword was very appealing to the elderly Highborne Asuryani. His other disciple, Ardyn Tiberrius, who was the Lord Padishah-Marshal of the Eternal Imperium of the Asurya, currently didn't have an affinity for the Godslayer Sword.
As unfrozen as it was, it was a very hard thing to find a suitable successor for his life work, which was a sword style specifically created to kill the powerful Beyonder. Grandmaster Byrmellir created the Godslayer Sword as a means to kill the most powerful Beyonders without using his Psyker Ability, as he couldn't use it during the time he was crippled.
Destruction Authority was a very powerful and volatile Super-High Risk Primal Psyker Ability that was even more dangerous to wield than even Arcturus's Dimension Empyrean by several degrees.
Even when he was fighting, he could use the Destruction Authority for a prolonged amount of time, or else the Super-High Risk Primal Psyker Ability would get out of control and leave him with some severe side effects.
Most of the Super-High Risk Primal Psyker Abilities and Super-High Risk Psyker Abilities were like this, as they were very dangerous even for their user. Some were even more dangerous to the user itself than to the enemy that the user was fighting against.
Though such cases were pretty rare.
Thus during the time that Grandmaster Byrmellir was essentially crippled, he devised and created the Godslayer Sword after traveling the Cosmos as a means to fight even with the strongest and most powerful of the Beyonder with nothing more than just a sword in his hand.
He had to admit that the Godslayer Sword indeed exceeded his expectations, but at the same time, the Sword Style was extremely hard to learn and even harder to master, and not many could even reach the peak of the Novice-ranked Mastery in the Godslayer Sword.
Though as Grandmaster Arsit Byrmellir was observing his disciple doing the shadow training in the Sardau Star Sword, he was more convinced that Arcturus would be able to learn the Godslayer Sword Style and carry on the legacy.
Not to mention, Arcturus's Super-High Risk Primal Psyker Ability was perfect for the Godslayer Sword Style because when he was creating the Godslayer Sword Style, he was doing it with this expectancy scenario in mind.
The ambition of the Grandmaster Byrmellir was to create a swordsmanship style that was not only powerful on its own but could be used together with the Super-High Risk Primal Psyker Ability like Destruction Authority to heighten the destructive capabilities of both and create something even greater.
Because he was essentially crippled right now, he could only predict how much power he would have once he healed himself from his injuries and fused the Godslayer Sword and Destruction Authority together and could use them in their full power.

[Proficiency with the Skill Sardau Star Sword has been increased by 9%.]
[Proficiency with the Skill Sardau Star Sword has been increased by 15%.]
[Proficiency with the Skill Sardau Star Sword has been increased by 10%.]
[Proficiency with the Skill Sardau Star Sword has reached Level 2 Apprentice - 0%.]
Arcturus spent the next hour or so shadow training after he finished his spar with the Grandmaster Byrmellir. It was less stressful than training with his master, but due to the effects of the Divine Water, he was still able to increase Proficiency in the Sardau Star Sword to the Level 2 Apprentice from shadow training alone.
When he felt that he was becoming tired, he took out a small vial filled with greenish liquid, he stabbed the thing into his arm, and pushed the button on the end of the object, as the greenish liquid entered his body.
This was specifically created as a Genetic Serum that was used to speed up the recovery rate of the body and acted as a heavy stimulus for the organism. Arcturus knew that this brutal training regime he was undergoing was also doing wonders for his physique.
If not for the Delta-Grade Physical Enhancement Serum, most possibly knocking him out for several days, he would have taken it straight away.
He keenly observed Grandmaster Byrmellir using the Godslayer Sword Style Mantra and how he congregated the Sword Intent in a peculiar fashion to create the Slayer Force Seed within his body.
Because Grandmaster Byrmellir already had Slayer Force Seed in his body for a good number of decades; he was just imitating the process to show his disciple the correct way of doing the thing.
"Now you can start."
When he heard Grandmaster Byrmellir giving him green, Arcturus did exactly the same thing that Grandmaster Byrmellir had done a few moments ago and guided his Sword Intent in his body to create the Slayer Force Seed.
He had to admit that it was much harder than when he was observing Grandmaster Arsit Byrmellir doing it, but due to the effects of the Divine Water, Arcturus had a much easier time when it came to condensing the Slayer Force Seed in his body.
Soon enough, somewhere in his body, more precisely very close to his heart, the Sword Intent started congregating, and the miniature form of the Slayer Force Seed started taking shape rather slowly.
After several minutes, he was doing exactly everything according to the Godslayer Sword Style Mantra; he created the Slayer Force Seed or at least the starting seed was resembling the Force Seed.
"Hmm... rather good for the first attempt."
Grandmaster Byrmellir remarked as he saw that his disciple was finished with the creation of the Slayer Force Seed.
[Host has comprended the basics of the Godslayer Sword Style.]
[Comprehension of the Godslayer Sword Style has reached Proficiency of Level 1 Novice - 5%.]
[Host has congealed Slayer Force Seed.]
[Slayer Force has been determined to be of Alpha-Grade Quality]
[New Attributre of the Slayer Force Seed has been added to the System Status.]
Meanwhile, Arcturus was seeing several notifications from the Star Citizen Online System, mainly about the Slayer Force Seed that was congealed within his body and the quantity of the Slayer Force was that of the Alpha-Grade.
This meant that he had enough Slayer Force like some Alpha-Grade Warriors would have; this was very good and nothing short of miraculous. Though this didn't mean that he could fight against the Alpha-Grade Warriors, he would be dead faster than he could blink.
It only meant that his Slayer Force was tremendous in amount, and he could fight for long hours and hours. This was mainly the result of him having the Level 10 Master Proficiency in the Basic Swordsmanship.
"Your quantity of the Slayer Force rivals even the most powerful Alpha-Grade Warriors that had Weapon Force Seed. Though you should be careful with this, such a large amount of the Slayer Force could be dangerous to mind if not handled correctly."
Grandmaster Byrmellir stated calmly as he looked at his disciple because Slayer Force was one of more dangerous Weapon-based Forces beucae it could seriously affect the mind of the user.
The Slayer Force was dangerous, and it was inherently destructive and bloodthirsty in nature; the weaker people or those without much willpower could be easily consumed by the Slayer Force.
"When I was creating the Slayer Force, I was taking inspiration mainly from the Killing Intent and its weaponization and Slaughter Aura and its weaponization. Due to these factions, the Slayer Force is heavily influenced by these two aspects, and if someone doesn't have strong willpower, he could be consumed by it and drive to madness."
Arcturus nodded as he was aware that any powerful ability would be without any side effects. He knew that the Slayer Force could be very powerful weapon or it could spell doom for its user.
