Chapter 32: the:
「 Swords of Axell 」
**
Not everyone can be chosen to be the Sword for him. Because Callian will only bring and choose people who have talent, determination and strong desire.
Since the training provided would be truly amazingly difficult, Callian had always prioritized young blood as his main choice.
After a little screening, Callian managed to get 30 men from the Plahm nation. Which they're already very prepared to receive training from Callian.
They will be called the Sword of Axell.
"What about you?. I know why you wanted to follow me because there's something you want. Say what you want, because for me people like you who follow me because they want something, have no difference with people who have loyalty." Callian.
In his first life, Callian had many followers who were not as different as Bernard. Although they are like Parasites, they are quite loyal because they know what they need.
Bernard answered him very briefly. There were not many things he wanted, he just wanted to go back to borrowing the stairs so that he could climb to higher ground.
"Young master!. Please take me to see even higher peaks!." Bernard said with a grin staring intently at Callian's face.
Callian immediately replied with a smile of disdain, no request was much more disgusting than that. But if you think further for the future, there are many advantages that can be obtained by having Bernard by his side.
"Pathetic!. If you really want that, you have to climb it yourself with your talent and ability. I'm not taking you to the top!. Because it depends on yourself!." Answer Callian firmly.
That answer was more than enough for Bernard. Even though he knew Callian was saying it just to say that his talent and ability were too low. Therefore he will definitely prove, if he has the ability to be able to reach even higher peaks.
"That's more than enough." Reply Bernard.
The Mercenary Crelles, who had no other choice, eventually also chose to follow Callian. In contrast to the 'Axell Sword' being asked to swear allegiance and have some rules, they were not prosecuted whatsoever because their relationship with Callian was a reciprocal relationship.
"I'll give you one last chance to choose. The first option is to disband your group, and join my forces. I will give you Twenty to One Hundred gold coins each month, depending on your contribution. If you join my army." Callian said the first choice.
The pay for the royal troops and soldiers alone was Fifteen (15) to Fifty (50) Gold Coins each month.
However, the pay offered by Callian exceeded the pay given by the Kingdom for its troops, therefore there was no reason for them to reject this offer.
Even when Callian hasn't said the second option, they already know what they're going to choose.
"The second option left this place, and went back to living life as a Mercenary. The choice depends on you." Connect Callian.
There was no one who would not miss an opportunity like this, especially the Chairman whom they respected so much had also decided to follow Callian.
That morning, the first morning began a routine exercise such as nereka that lived by these people.
The peaceful night became a night filled with commotion and sweat. And a warm morning would be a very cold morning for them.

Moreover, he also managed to set up an Intelligence group based in the capital, although the members they have are still less than 10 people.
But for Callian it was more than enough to show how useful Merlin was. Therefore he also directly kept his promise to Merlin, by giving what he wanted.
Previously Callian had imparted the corpse Breath Technique to Merlin, it made him undetectable even by a Six Star Swordsman.
With Merlin covering up the weakness of the Technique and refining it using the Invisible Cloak Magic item. Even the Seven Star Swordsman could not detect where he was, Merlin had already tried that directly.
"I will give you two new techniques, with this technique you no longer need to use that robe. Come closer!." Callian told Merlin.
The technique was none other than the Shadow Footstep Technique.
Callian didn't know what technique to give and which one to match Merlin. Because Merlin is different from other people, Callian therefore thought that he also had to give a different technique to him.
After thinking long. Finally Callian decided to give Merlin the Heavenly Demon Cultivation Technique. He did not know what changes would occur to Merlin after he cultivated the Technique.
Clearly, Callian was looking forward to the final results of the experiment he was doing.
"It seems I have given birth to something that shouldn't exist in the world!." An enormous dark energy entered Merlin's body, while he was studying and absorbing the Technique.
So much dark energy gathered around Merlin's body, it made the atmosphere in the forest become very tense with black clouds covering the entire forest.
The sight looked like a Demon King who was about to descend into the world.
"How are you feeling?." Callian asked Merlin. He immediately asked after Merlin finished absorbing and studied the Heavenly Demon Cultivation Technique.
"I feel very refreshed and filled with the strength of the young master!." Merlin was happy. Moreover, when he examined his slightly congested heart, he was shocked to learn that he had managed to form two Circles at a time.
"Do you feel like there's something weird about your body?." Callian asked because Merlin was holding his left chest.
"I'm fine Young Master. I was just shocked, when I realized I had ascended to become the Witch of the Seven Circles." Merlin to Callian.
That surprised Callian a little. Because Callian previously knew that Merlin was only a Witch with Five Circles, if he was now a Witch with seven Circles. He has gone through two levels at once.
Callian who was very curious about the full strength of a Seven Circle Magician, he immediately summoned Bernard to be used as a test samsak of Merlin's strength.
"YOUNG MASTER?!. NOT THAT YOU CALLED ME TO TRAIN ME. WHY ARE THERE DEMONS HERE?!!." Bernard shouted at Callian as he was horrified by the energy gathering around Merlin's body.
"This is training. It's hard-earning exercise!. If you don't want to die roasted, hang on with all your strength!." Callian replied with a smile giving encouragement to Bernard.
Before the enormous Fireball collided with his greatsword. It created an explosive crater in a very large, and made the trees in that place instantly scorch on fire, as well as the entirety of Bernard's clothes.
Before he lost consciousness, Bernard looked at Callian hatefully. The women and children who saw that, immediately closed their eyes because they saw a monster in Bernard.
"The car is also the size." Callian.
