It was so rare because of the qualifications needed to get it. You needed to be a mortal with some supernatural or divine power. He was half Blade Spirit. Being blessed by a god or benign spirit would also work. Then you also needed to do a heroic feat. Killing 26 demons in a single day was mythic. All of this needed to be achieved by a non evil creature. Evil gods and spirits could give blessings to neutral and evil creatures, but the end result would be a Fiend. With his spiritual power, he could heal. After putting more levels in the class, he could do all sorts of game breaking miracles. I assumed the same would be true for the others. Just as we got to the other side, we were met by Krit and Knat with their children. I gave them the fair warning about their aggressiveness. "We riled them up. Stonger red oni appeared than yesterday after a while. Make sure you don't stay too long or go back and forth to rest or a general might appear or something." I said. Krit waved off my advice. "We'll slaughter their king if he shows up." He grabbed his son and flew over. So did the others.
Killing frenzy aside, they were competent fighters. I wondered how they would rack up the kills with only boomerangs. That was not on me. I brought them to my house. I lived with them, but we did not interact as much as they did with their mothers. Kyra lived with me now. Shank took Aaren and Anicia's mother to his house. They had a child together too, so she had to raise him. At least that was what Shank decreed. In reality, the women often hung out together and did their best to keep up with their hybrid children. Now that they were grown, the wives of the Blade Spirits took a step back. The Spirit's libido was too low and they were not really attracted to their mortal forms all that much. Rook and Knight were exceptions because they were still humanoid. Neither katana were going to mate unless I told them too though. Ras and Uri were also in the same boat. I told them that they could, but they had not done it yet. Their wives were prostitutes. They could have sex with any male. Neither dagger was ugly. They were fit young men with boyish faces as far as their looks went.
3 days passed. Krit and Knat had returned later that first evening. They had become holy weapons like my servants and I. Their children became Saints. Because of this, the went over to Ace and Deuce to gloat. The next day, I was to take Ahu and Droa. Ace and Deuce came with their families soon after. I was surprised when the nagas let themselves be wielded by their children. That was only until their offspring carried them across the river. Then they resumed their mortal forms. It was what was needed to get across the river. Ace and Deuce wanted to get their kills on their own. Ahu was a carbon copy of Uri, so I was confident in using him. Running around with him was very easy. I got my 25 kills with him and put him back into his sheathe. I then drew Droa's blade. It was a one handed sword that had a curve to it. It took me a bit of time to get used to. Once that was done, I left the hostile area for the bank of the river. I rowed back and thanked the hermit. Walking to the town, I was bumped into by a man right in front of the gate. "I'm sorry." I said. "Don't be. It's my fault."
