I continued to grit my teeth for only just a few seconds, and just like that, the pain was gone, and I was left lying there, huffing and puffing, trying to regain my breath.
"You could've given more of a warning," I snarled, slowly standing up and feeling a new sense of movent from my back.
After all of the runes had been placed on top of my spine and engraved into my skin, it felt like my back was constantly restricted by a tal pipe.
Bending it didn't hurt, but it just felt stiff.
No matter how much stretching I did, it never disappeared… until now.
"Alright, get up, boy. It's ti to do so actual training… I'm gonna turn you into the ultimate weapon whether you like it or not,"
Ares unleashed a sadistic smile as he walked up to , grabbed the back of my shirt and yanked onto my feet, planting firmly on the smooth marble floor.
"How long will it take?" I asked, feeling my loosened back since it almost seed like a dream.
"The passage of ti doesn't affect my world… this is a level you should be able to reach within a few centuries… well, that's if you don't die,"
Suddenly, a spear similar to mine was crafted in the center of his palm, but just as he swung it toward , he stopped just before it sliced in half.
Even though I saw the blade moving at a near-turtle pace, I couldn't move my body as the impending feeling of dreaded doom lood over .
It wasn't just a mountain that had been swung towards … but an entire fucking planet was about to slice in half.
"Huff… huff… huff…"
I turned towards the god, who turned around like a wise old man, and finally started acting like a teacher instead of harassing with overwhelming strength.
"First, this weapon of ours is the Lance of Sangria. The ti will co when you discover that place and an un-rightful ruler sits on that throne… disgusting," The god's face crumpled with disgust before returning to normal.
"Where could I find… Sangria? Is that it?"
"Destiny will lead you… But besides that, there is one property you must know about the equipnt section of your system. Nobody else has that slot…. It is an exclusive part of the Ares System which allows you to store equipnt in your blood."
"Hm? Really? Do I just cut open my forearm with my nail or sothing?"
"There is no need to go that far. Just sink your nail into the center of your palm for now, but eventually, you'll be able to take them out of your blood like they were storage rings,"
I nodded silently and then looked down at the palm of my hand, but seeing my cut nails made the god beside deadpan.
"I can see you had so fun," He lightly chuckled before swinging his index finger, opening a large gash in the center of my palm.
Blood spewed out, but the thing that I expected to form in the middle of my hands was stubborn and wouldn't co out.
It was like a cork blocking the exit to a heated flask… it was about to implode.
My veins throbbed and visibly expanded from under my skin, but when I looked to the god for guidance, he just coldly stared at , obviously unwilling to assist in this process.
"Okay… it should be like a storage ring if I'm correct," I muttered as a drop of sweat nearly slid into my left eye.
Closing my eyes, I imagined the spear forming in the center of my palms… but that didn't work in the slightest.
So, I expanded the process and imagined the blood spewing out of my hand, forming into a spear sharp enough to cut even the bones of a god in half.
And just like that… the thing ford in the center of my palms, leaving smiling as progress was miniscule but impressive.
Just as the spear ford in my hand, the wound on my palm instantly closed up, with the skin weaving into itself.
No mark was left but the scars that had already littered my palms.
"Well done. You can do the sa for the rest of your items, including the magic ring given by your mother. Everything will soon connect once you figure out the true nature of your throne world," Ares announced before walking up to and grabbing my arm.
"Hey, what the hell," I jerked my arm away from him since in that mont, and even though I didn't show it on my face, the depths of my body shook.
For a split second, his bloodlust pierced my heart, brain, and soul in an instant, killing before I could even grasp the situation.
"Your body is so damn weak… no wonder you're getting your ass beat by these demon lords,"
He slapped my arm with the back of his hand, making smirk just a bit since the way he did it was almost hilarious.
"Follow . First, we must start with the basics. Also, no matter how tired you get, never let go of that spear while it's taken out of your bloodstream. It still lives,"
Those eerie last words stuck in the back of my mind as we walked through the massive halls, reaching our destination after what seed to be an entire day of walking.
But, the walk there was quite awkward as I tried to make conversation.
"So uh… do you still talk to mother?"
"I make sure to see her every day. She loves her new position, and if it wasn't for the long distance between us, I would've taken you to see her,"
My ears perked up upon hearing those words as a few things connected in my mind.
"But there is no passage of ti, so couldn't we just see her now?"
"Once we leave my domain, the existence of the outside world will pass by in just a second. One thousand centuries shall pass in the blink of an eye, and your friends down there will be left confused, dying without even knowing where you went,"
"Ah… I see,"
