The Seven Deadly Child
Spirit Knights

Currently, Theo was seen being manoeuvred jumping in the air in all directions. His various maneuvers ended with him stepping on the ground, gathering power and jumping extremely high, then landing gracefully back on the ground.

"It's kereenn…!!!!"

Before this, his Master had given a regret about how to use the demonic fruit power he had obtained. His master said the devil fruit could be used in two ways.

The first way is to focus the ability of the devil fruit into his own body. By channeling the ability of the devil fruit that focuses on itself, the devil fruit user can manipulate the ability of the devil fruit to change the elements in his body.

In Theo's case, when he used this first method, he could make his body lighter or heavier, utilizing the element of gravitational change within him.

Theo became excited and had some thoughts on combining his devil fruit abilities with some of the techniques he had learned.

"Good! that was the first way, now try to practice the second way I explained to you." Tiankong said giving instructions.

Hearing the instructions from his Master, without delay Theo immediately tried a second way.

After concentrating for a moment, he began to spread the previously focused gravitational element within his body.

The element of gravity began to spread around Theo, forming an invisible space within about three meters around Theo.

Theo, who was in the middle of the invisible space he formed, could control the gravity in the room. Either it gets heavier or it gets lighter.

"The "invisible room was very useful in battle. Can affect the movement of your enemy, just how your creative side to use it. This second way is called the gravitational field!"

"Enough for now, your body will be able to adjust itself" Tiankong said.

Theo immediately scattered his gravitational element, instantly the gravitational field began to disappear. A smile continued to adorn his face, he felt very enthusiastic about the new strength he had.

"Your satanic abilities will develop following your cultivation. At the peak stage, I've seen an expert wearer this demonic fruit, creating a gravitational field as large as the territory of a country."

"Then, only by will. He made a very strong gravitational pressure. Destroying the country and all its contents, even without touching the hands." Tiankong.

"You must be kidding me..!!" Theo put on a face of disbelief.

"Forget over! I just gave you a little motivation. You're still too far for that anyway."

"Now check the realm of your soul! you should be able to see a small fruit embedded next to your Element Seed."

Theo immediately checked into his soul realm. As his master said, there was a small fruit next to his Element Seed. The fruit was shaped the same as the devil fruit he had eaten, only looking very small.

"That fruit will hold which element of gravity you absorb. Mana gravity is one of those unique ancient mana that can only be sensed, and absorbed by devil fruit users."

"You must routinely channel mana gravity into the fruit! and make it grow stronger. The growth of the tiny fruit will affect how much you can harness the ancient gravity of the future."

"Do you understand?" Tiankong asked closing his explanation.

Upon hearing his Master's explanation, Theo immediately tried to sense the ancient mana his master meant. Faintly Theo could feel which one felt different and very ancient. This ancient mana felt different from any other element he had known before eating the devil fruit.

"Murid understands!" Theo answered his Master's question.

"Good! now, we better start thinking about how to get out of this abyss."

"According to your story that says this abyss can open and close by itself, it should be a formation mechanism applied by an expert who is very master of Element where the soil type. I can tell this expert has quite a high ability because he can make a formation array of this size."

"I've seen this type of formation before. But what makes it a bit strange, this is an ancient formation that should not have been able to be understood and discovered by the people of the current era of chaos."

"When I entered this abyss 10,000 years ago, this formation did not yet exist. So, I can deduce this expert set up a formation after I sealed my spirit into a space-time bracelet."

"My guess, this expert must be hiding something extremely valuable, so he was willing to use a lot of mana and effort just to set up this formation. It could be that what he's trying to hide is the gravity fruit you just ate."

"Now all we need to do is to find the center of the formation, once I get there, I can study it and find a way to dismantle this formation."

"When you fell into this place before, didn't you see some suspicious place?" Tiankong asked Theo to close all his analysis.

Theo seemed to think for a moment before then seemed to remember something.

"When I first fell into this place, I saw a strange cave that gave off a dense ancient aura. Maybe it's the master's place!!" Answer Theo.

"Hmmm, that strange cave that gave off a pitch-old aura? Why don't I feel it?" Tiankong muttered curiously.

"Lead the way to the cave!" Construction later.

"Siapp..!!!"

"But master, can I settle my affairs for a moment?" Ask Theo

"What other business?"

Getting a question from his Master, Theo immediately turned his head one way.

In what was previously an invisible region of zero gravity space. Seen a bunch of snails that are moving strangely, they seem not accustomed to the new situation they are feeling. Accustomed to living in a room of zero gravity, when space without gravity disappears, the gravitational pressure they feel makes them unaccustomed and start moving strangely slowly on the ground.

Theo saw the snail. The snails were what had previously made him very frustrated. Chased all the time.

A moment later, he started grinning like a street criminal. Walk towards the Snails.

**

"Is it far away?"

Tiankong asked after a few moments of travel back, he was still curious about the mysterious cave that escaped his observation.

"It should be seen soon, the location is not far from where we first entered the invisible space." Answer Theo.

He was currently holding a stick that was used to pierce the grilled snail, he ate the grilled snail in his hand greedily while walking.

Shortly after the conversation, Theo's cave began to be seen.

Not far from the cave, lies a giant yellow body.

The giant body was none other than the figure of Raging Ape. The Spirit Beast that attracted Theo fell into this abyss. Raging Ape's lifeless body looks still intact unchanged. With the Ancient Beast bloodline that Raging Ape possessed, the process of decomposing his body was proceeding slower than other types of Spirit Beasts.

This time when looking at the body of the Raging Ape, there was no fear at all in his eyes. There was precisely a strong sense of nostalgia, if not for the Raging Ape before him, Theo would not have met his Master, and would still have been trash, he said, or even die at the hands of the eleventh elder and his forest guard Knight unit.

Indirectly, Raging Ape is the one who contributed to the turning point that occurred in Theo's life. Making Theo now look at the figure of Raging Ape on his face with a completely different view.

As Theo was deep in nostalgia staring at Raging Ape's body before him, white smoke came out of the tattoo on his left arm.

Baal suddenly floated out of the tattoo and then began to look at the giant body of Raging Ape.

"Master, I want that Beast spirit…!" he said suddenly while pointing at Raging Ape's body.

Theo who still did not understand Baal's words immediately asked.

"Whatchu mean? Want that spirit beast? That Raging Ape is dead" Theo replied.

"I want ituu! I want ituuu! the spirit beast looked dashing and cool, its fur color was also very cool..!!" Baal started whining.

Tiankong who saw that immediately floated closer.

"Take that crystal beast from Raging Ape! let Baal absorb and affiliate using it." Tiankong began to explain.

"He can absorb and affiliate with crystal beasts?" This time Theo asked Tiankong, increasingly clueless.

"Yeah! I forgot I haven't had the chance to explain it to you before."

"Actually in addition to the three types of Knight types that you know all along. Soul Knight, Meridian Knight, and True Knight. There was still one more type of Knight type, only in this era there was still no one who knew his methods."

"The fourth type is the Spirit Knight, this type of Knight affiliates the crystal beasts that he can into the spirit items he possesses."

"In the future though, even though he has found his method. Spirit Knights were still rarely seen, as indeed finding an Item that had Spirit Items in it was no easy matter either. So, you could say you're very lucky!"

"By fusing the crystal beast into the spirit item, the Spirit Knight will still have the opportunity to contract blood with the Spirit Beast like a True Knight."

"While merging mana crystals into spirit items, it will make the spirit item have mana control abilities like a Soul Knight."

"Furthermore, you are lucky enough to have a body base that experienced a qualitative ascension at the beginning of your Knight cultivation.You just need to develop your body that has been forged by the baptism of thousands of more powerful divine electricity. That way, your body won't lose to an ordinary Meridian Knight."

"Because I don't have a strong body base like you, I didn't develop a body tempering technique before. Therefore, there are not too many collections in the library."

"However, there are still some body tempering manuals that might fit inside the library. The iron body technique you created also has good potential, you can do some research and combine it with some body tempering manuals that are in the library in the future."

"So in conclusion, by becoming the first Spirit Knight of this era, you have the potential to combine the advantages of each of the existing Knight types. Coupled with the demonic fruit abilities you possess, your potential is extremely limitless!"

"You're about to embark on the path of the Knight, which no one has ever crossed before! Interesting right?" Tiankong smiled closing his explanation.

Tiankong himself was quite amazed by luck, and the potential his disciple possessed. He was already impatient to see how this disciple would develop in the future.

Theo who heard all the explanations from his master could only be stunned, he still could not believe there was something so extraordinary like that. Having the ability of three types of Knights at once, who would be able to imagine it?

"Here, stop thinking about it now. With the amount of potential you have, your work in cultivation is also increasing more and more. You have to develop all the potential you have in balance, step by step."

"It's not an easy job, so you'll have to work harder on your Knight's cultivation journey ahead."

"Now quickly just grab the crystal beast from the ape! you'll be able to see for yourself later." Tiankong.

Theo who was also curious, immediately obeyed the orders of his master.

A while later he returned while carrying the crystal beast from Raging Ape, in his hands.

Seeing the crystal beast in Theo's hands, Baal who had been impatiently grabbed him immediately.

"This boy..!!" Theo grunts at Baal's attitude.

"Hahahhaha.this will be kernn! it'll be kereennn..!!"

Baal laughed with excitement while rubbing the crystal beast in his hand like he was carrying the most precious thing.

"Spirit items are usually always picky with the crystal beasts they will absorb, they have their own criteria."

"The master had no way of forcing them to absorb the crystal beasts, this was also the reason why Spirit Knights were rare and hard to practice."

"Looks like you're a lucky god. Not long ago you conquered Baal, you've found a spirit beast that interests him. This Raging Ape was a rare Ancient Beast to be found. What's more, his mana type also corresponds to Baal. Namely, which type of soil element." Tiankong said as he glanced at Theo.

"Baal, don't linger! absorb the crystal immediately! we don't have much time. I've been dying to see the sunlight, and leave this gloomy abyss!" Tiankong gave the order.

Hearing that, Baal who was also impatient, immediately went through the process of assimilating the Crystal Beast.

It only took a while for Baal to complete the assimilation process.

His spirit body glowed dazzlingly for a moment, before his figure began to be seen again. Now, Baal has a physical body, it doesn't look transparent anymore.

Baal's physical body made Theo slightly dumbfounded. She looks like a mini Raging Ape, with yellow feathers all over her body. Only, the Raging Ape version of Baal still had two large horns on its head, as well as a pointed-tipped tail.

"It's kereeennn…!!! it's kereeennnnn….!!!"

"Master how's my new physical body?" Baal asked Tiankong.

"Seeing so cool!" Tiankong replied as he stroked Baal's head, while Baal continuously looked at Tiankong with a child-like gaze staring at his parents.

Seeing the events before him, the corner of Theo's eyes immediately began to twitch.

"Fuckin' shit! who exactly is your master hahh? And who gave you that crystal beast?" Theo snorted in annoyance.

"Ahhh sorry! i forgot! it's a habit, I'm sorry master!" Baal looked at Theo with a plain look.

Theo immediately began to wither away looking at Baal's innocent gaze. However, before his feelings improved, he heard Baal mutter something.

"Basic vandal..!!" baal murmured, but quite hard.

"I can hear it….!!!!" Theo immediately became emotional again when he heard it.

But before Theo continued his words, Baal had already turned into a yellow beam of light and re-entered the tattoo on his left arm.

"Bocahhh this…!!!"

"Hahhahhahhaha…..!!!!" Seeing Theo's extremely annoyed expression, Tiankong could not help but laugh. He started laughing out loud.

"Mater….!!!!" Theo was getting annoyed at the laughter of his master.

Baal's appearance always pissed Theo off. Baal was like the perfect team for his master to bully him.

"Huhhhh….!!!" Theo sighed.

"Why are you so upset? You have now officially become a rare Spirit Knight, even in the future. You should be happy a little!" Tiankong.

"How am I not upset?"

"Hahhhh forget it!"

Theo cut off his own speech, he felt free to argue with his master. The end is not to feel better, it will make him even more upset.

"Hahhahaha, calm down! didn't I tell you, those boys are hard to control."

"Because it has become a Spirit Knight, there is little explanation that I will give. The strength of those boys will increase as your cultivation grows, they develop along with you automatically."

"So, developing them is much easier than your other potentials. You just have to grow stronger, and they'll keep up with you."

"Here you go, we'd better get in and check out the cave!" tiankong said closing his explanation.

Theo who was still a little annoyed, immediately obeyed his master's orders and began to enter the cave.
