Chapter 211: Training
Rein opened his eyes, his vision was blurry at first but as he sat up and rested his back on the wall behind, he slowly regained his energy and got his vision back.
"Azes! Azes... where is Azes" he crawled and tried to get up but fell back.
"my leg is very weak... Ariel where am I?" he asked while looking around.
{Unidentified}
"what do you an unidentified? do your thing scan sothing..."
{c-c-c-c-can’t-t-t o-per-ate}
’weird, did Azes just stamr?’
{s-shutting d-d-d-down-n-n-n-n-n}
"eh?!! Ariel! Ariel!!" Rein scread but there was no response.
’hmm, this place has a nostalgic feeling...’ Huemac said as he ca out from Rein in form of a floating soul and gained a transparent form. He had a long white hair and golden eyes and wore red scarf on his neck, he wore a traditional kimono-like wear but with pieces of armor around the shoulder, kneecap, elbow and waist.
"Is this you Huemac?" Rein asked.
"hmm... as I guessed, it seems you are in big trouble and at the sa ti you are full of luck." Huemac said.
"tcht... his just a fool that doesn’t deserve luck" another soul ford in front of Rein that looked exactly like himself.
"hmm... we are in a deity’s altar" lastly Godeye ca out and took on his form of a young bou with black sclera and red pupils plus he had an old man’s accent.
Rein looked at the three of them. "you guys... is this how you look in real?"
"yes... not much of an impression but we are quite a presence" Godeye replied.
"why the hell are you being nice to him... beside I thought you were a god who would have actually thought you were an Esteler..." Huemac said to Godeye.
"I’m not really the big deal, I’ve been greatly weakened. Let’s focus on what’s in front of us"
Rein looked at all of them, ’looking at them both now, I realize they are both actually great people that have been helping
out...and yet I’ he glanced at his deiti-self but avoided their gaze eting.
"Reinard... it seems sohow you have ended up in Bahamot’s altar"
Rein’s face lit up a smile.
"Don’t be happy, you might not be able to leave here forever" Huemac said to him.
"uh? what do you an forever?" Reinard was confused.
Huemac sat on the floor, "let’s start with what a deity’s altar is, you see Rein boy. A deity’s alter is akin to what the humans call a temple where gods are worshipped but the difference is, the deities are not worshipped but offered sacrifice, we are not particularly concerned but so set of humans wouldn’t just give it a rest, anyti the humans saw a deity co to their rescue, they idolized the deity and build this thing called alter so anyti we co here to roam around or do whatever as many if us were quite jobless then, we liked to hang around our altars it gave a soothing feeling, hundreds of years of repetition the altar then begins to gain a conscience based on the pretext of its owner’s consciousness, so tis the alters could be ruins like this one, or so tis the alter could be swords that was ford by the best blacksmith and offered to the deity."
"Ah... so black sword."
"yes, is my altar but its not the only one, I think I still got like six more forged by different blacksmith in different ages."
"I see, but is it not the sa way, a deity gets born, is there a chance black sword might get born?" Rein asked.
"No, you are mixing it up, it’s not the sa thing. A deity is born out of an object that the deity adores for a long ti, but the object can only manifest into a physical and conscious form after the deity has abandon it for a long ti too, then it has either of this to reason of existence, to make sure the deity adores it back or to make sure the deity dies"
"...wow" Rein looks around. "So this is Bahamot’s... its all covered with plants, but you’ve not explained why I can’t leave"
"Well see it like this, like when you wanted to pull the sword but couldn’t until I gave you permission to... you just entered a deity’s altar without consent. But the good thing about all this is that we can confirm, that Bahamot’s soul fragnts still exist, just like how you find mine, you might be able to find his...it might even be here, so the only way to get out is to find it and get its consent"
Rein smiled, "so I can fina-"
"don’t fucking smile you bastard, you are lucky this is only an astral body if not I would have butchered your face with my fist, you this crazy and unethical nuisance. You are so dead, let’s see how you get to leave here without becoming a proper deity you this disgraceful and sha fucking shithead!! I hate you dimwit!!!!"
"It seems your timidity has quite angered your deiti-self... Reinard.
Huemac stood up, "now Rein, I am Huemac, the deity that rules over steel"
"I am Godeye, an Esteler that oversees the abyssal flas"
Reinard got confused as he did not understand why the sudden change of mood.
"From today henceforth till you are able to defeat that... we will be training you ...rigorously" Huemac said while pointing to the ceiling.
-craaaasssshk-
Rein’s eye widened as he saw a large bone dragon’s head, crash in from the ceiling.
Huemac smirked, "that rascal... his a dragon freak there’s no way he would leave this place without a dragon, but I must say he’s a little crazy, to put the bone dragon in here, wasn’t that his father’s creation, I can rember Madremonte used to call it, Bahamot’s kid brother... will Rein boy ever be able to defeat that thing even if we train him to the extre."
"We are stuck here either ways, if he wants to go ho, he has to do it" Godeye said.
The dragon entered fully and went for Rein straightaway, Rein ran but the dragon caught up with just stretching it’s head, and crashed into the pillar, the impact made Rein tumble but he quickly got up, drew out white dragon and used lordblade form three which was a line cut.
"what kind of shabby sword skill is that?, I’ve never really seen his skills because I’m always in his head but now that I see it, this guy is like a dancing toy" Huemac said.
"Perhaps it’s because the system was what always help with the skill analysis and use, Reinard looks like he has no idea what he is doing" Godeye added.
"hmph, a fool will always be a fool" his deiti-self scoffed and walked away, "I’m going to go look for the soul fragnt"
Huemac looks at him as he walked away, "he really hates Rein boy huh?"
"no, I don’t think there’s no one that loves Reinard more than him" Godeye said.
"whatever...exactly where do I start with this guy?"
"don’t humans normally start with pushups, pullups and 100m race within a particular ti limit. You can do it like the humans" Godeye suggested.
"No it can’t work that way, it will do nothing, when Rein changed his body also did, so I can say that he has the body of a deity, though not entirety, so small trainings like that won’t work, they might work for his instincts as human but it won’t work for his body, which his the problem his having now. Because that thing nad Ariel has always pushed his body for him, he could ignore the part where he needed to train his body very hard for it to be able to reflexively respond to stimuli without even thinking. A deity’s body is very different, with enough training the body develop reflexivity to almost everything, and what a deity outstands in is speed, the regular deity is faster than the speed of light by 30.456 seconds, but ancients and greater deities can run through dinsion and even fly. In order for all this to be possible his body needs to be trained to the extre, and the only training that can be effect is life-death training. A training that will continually put his life in danger, Rein boy has to get rid of the fear of death in him."
"You do know your thing."
"Of course, I am an ancient deity, do you know how many deities I’ve had to train." Huemac grinned proudly.
"...and yet you all lost to gods..." Godeye gave Huemac a la look.
-wooooooooossshhhh-
-crraaaassshhhkk-
Rein got thrown away by the impact of the bone dragon’s attack and flew past Huemac and crashed into a pillar. He was drenched in blood, "why? why am I the only one its attacking?"
Huemac smirked, "what do you an, you are the only one here, we are rely an astral projection that could manifest thanks to the energy of the altar."
"My skills are not working like before either!!" Rein shouted.
"This is training Rein-boy, you are not allowed to cheat, -ahahahahah-"
