Noah soon understood that he couldn't go all-out during his tests. The cursed sword wasn't a weapon meant for daily use. It was a trump card that could force existences to unleash far more power than they wielded.
The foundation of the weapon's power was in its bloodlust. Its Master had to carry a similar feeling to wield the cursed sword, and their auras had to fuse during the attack to unleash blows that surpassed their level.
Noah had an enormous bloodlust. His life had been a constant battlefield, and he had never once held back from killing his opponents. His existence suited the weapon perfectly, but that was a disadvantage when he wanted to test its power.
"The bloodlust only enhances your power, but you pay the price with your energy and body," The cursed sword explained as Noah rested on a tree with the blade on his lap. "You can probably launch a few attacks with power in the upper tier before falling apart. Remember never to use me when your mind is unstable. You have absorbed the bloodlust of my previous Masters, but their influence can still drive you crazy."
Noah memorized those teachings as he studied the blade. The cursed sword had yet to understand how unusual his body was, so it was treating him as a mon hybrid.
He guessed that he could survive at least five attacks before suffering too many injuries. That was a rough estimate that took into consideration his current level and the incredible properties of his black hole, so he could stretch his limits as long as he improved.
'I have the middle tier disposable puppet and the cursed sword as trump cards now,' Noah thought as he stored the blade without putting it back in its case. 'The bloodlust and Supreme Thief's true meaning are also inside my mind, but I can't take them out at will. I even have many life-saving drugs that should help me if I eat them at the same time. This aspect of my power should be decent at my current level.'
With the trump cards in place, Noah could return to focus on his foundation. His ambition required time and experiences to grow, so he could only work on his techniques for now.
The personal arts required countless tests and enlightenment. Noah had to try until he invented something that surpassed his current abilities. Yet, that process required time that he preferred to use on the "embodiment of power".
The addition of the cursed sword to his level made that technique even more appealing. Any improvement in his body would stretch the limits of his bloodlust and allow him to suffer more backlashes other than making his overall battle prowess grow.
