Chapter 3: Slayer Martial Art
"We will continue tomorrow" Sui left, I immediately fell limp because the exercise he gave was not just any exercise that even my Apex Mutagen did extraordinary adaptability.
I was not given food or drink, making my thirst and hunger gradually disappear, even the feeling of fatigue and drowsiness gradually began to get used to.
Sui taught me martial arts that were almost exactly like Shaolin kung fu, but this tended to be the brutality he taught me that referred to Madness and Absolute dominance.
I didn't want to follow his ego because if I approached brutality then I would lose my rationality and become hungry for battle.
So while he was gone I practiced Inner peace and Harmony alone like Master oogway said.
"Inner peace" Then I was surprised by Kal'tsit sneaking up on me, I was on Mount Hui-Ch'i where Dusk was supposed to be hiding.
"Kal'tsit, again? You gonna make me suffer again do you?" Kal'tsit giggled and gave me something to drink and eat, for the past three months Kal'tsit had been sneaking me drinks and food.
She told me about Yan's condition even though there are some Feranmut still alive here but they are now hiding from us, only Sui remains who now prioritizes me and Kal'tsit.
Kal'tsit also taught me whatever knowledge Sui gave her even though Sui only gave enough knowledge to make Kal'tsit more stressed than me.
Imagine it like this, you are given knowledge A while your teacher gives knowledge that has nothing to do with A so how would you respond? If it were me I would cut off my teacher's head.
We learned this science together and exchanged opinions and thoughts that made this night beautiful with laughter and jokes, I knew that there were bags under kal'tsit's eyes. she was tired and needed a rest.
While I am still fresh and refreshed because of the Apex Mutagen, I cannot give this Mutagen to Kal'tsit because I am worried that she will feel the incredible pain I experienced before.
I want her not to have to experience what I experienced, I just want her to have a home or a partner who can live forever with her, smiling and laughing, sharing and suffering together, just like Theresa's goal of building Rhodes Island, make Kal'tsit a home to come back to.
Usually after talking and eating enough with Kal'tsit, we would take shelter under a tree under the moonlight at night and Kal'tsit would sleep on my shoulder, I would stroke her head and bring her back to our home which although temporary, was a comfortable home for us to live in Yan's time.
I return to the mountain and try to control the other Elements, although the affinity I have is more to Lightning for Elements such as Fire, Water, Wind, Earth as well as avatars I am quite good at even though it is only basic.
For the other elements such as Ice, Lightning, and then plants. True, I can control plants even if it's just to move the tendrils but I hope the next power mutation or Boost will help me more because only Electricity has reached a level where I can generate 10 trillion volts of electricity without losing my nerves.
I didn't tell Kal'tsit about this because I didn't want her to get worried or feel rivaled or anything that would make our relationship worse.
I know Sui is quite selfish in choosing a successor but I cannot stay in his clutches forever, I must leave here and get out of his jaws because I also want to kill Sui.
Emperor Yan also sent a hidden message to me to report on Sui's foul plans to overthrow Yan but I was born to No snitch. so I didn't answer it.
Kal'tsit was the one who liaised with Emperor Yan but I assured Kal'tsit that Sui had already planned whatever the emperor had in mind and I hoped he was prepared for the day to come because we had to leave and that would make Sui break his focus.
Day after day passed by as Sui taught me sharp weapon martial arts down to every movement even though my movements were a little disorganized and had exaggerated movements.
Sui made the training even harder because I seemed to be playing around, I was just trying to imitate the combos in the game what am I playing around just that you don't know what Art and Fans are. As devil may cry fans, doing style on enemy is my thing and doing Combo is my motivation, so sui can fuck himself.
My rebellion is getting more and more day by day making Sui more and more displeased with my behavior but I have planned everything thoroughly, I am just testing the character of this god whether his Prideful power and godly status lack of faith, patient and Faith on me? and the answer is yes.
Sui expelled me because I disappointed his expectations, but that was the last word before he would be executed by Emperor Yan, my expulsion and Kal'tsit was Emperor Yan's green light to be able to end Sui once and for all.
The two of us went from Yan to Laterano to become nomads there, after hunting bandits and getting their loot. I was at least successful in dispossessing the property.
[+ 529,347 Orbs Obtained]
This is more than enough of the amount of orbs I've gotten over the past 3 months, which is literally nothing.
Kal'tsit regrets that we were kicked out by Sui but I assure her that this is what's best for us because following Sui's ego won't lead to anything.
After we arrived in Laterano, we were welcomed as visitors. Kal'tsit and I worked diligently as clerics while I served as her advisor and assistant.
We were quite well-liked for a few weeks until the First saint himself approached us and visited.
First saint was quite enthusiastic about our contribution even though we were just here to learn whatever Laterano gave us until we were given a citizenship.
We of course refused because we are nomadic, the First saint quite regretted that but it doesn't matter as long as we get whatever we want here, A research.
Then I got news here that the Khagan quest had started, I said goodbye to Kal'tsit but she prevented me from interfering.
But I had to interfere because of one thing, the requirement of this sword in the Shop.

I don't think this is a joke, do I have to leave Kal'tsit? I know she will survive but I can't always be by her side before the promised time or when Theresa takes the lead.
I then hugged Kal'tsit one last time as this was probably our most touching farewell ever.
"Kal'tsit, thank you for the moments in Yan and in Laterano, I am grateful to have met you the first time. If fate permits then we will meet again" Kal'tsit hugged me back and gripped my skin roughly, I then released my embrace and began to leave.
I can feel Kal'tsit's sadness at my leaving but, Ah shit why am I always but and but. Fuck it.
I return to Kal'tsit and kiss her lips, then immediately walk away because shit im suck to have first impression or relationship.
Well, at least I died with no regret in this bloodbath of war.
After quite a distance I saw Khagan's army which was very large but I could tell some of it was an illusion.
I arrived in front of Khagan himself, he was quite domineering judging by the way he displayed power.
"Who are you?" I saluted Khagan and then took my stance.
"I'm just an adventurer who happens to be looking for an opponent, do you want to be my opponent?" Khagan looked at his partner and nodded, then Khagan took his glaive and prepared.
"Interesting, let's dance" Khagan attacked me quickly, but I managed to parry his glaive attack easily and counter but I only attacked the illusion.
The real Khagan was still standing in front of his troops, while I smiled and then took a stance to make my hands filled with electricity. I will use AOE attacks to distinguish between illusion and reality.
Khagan attacked me again with his double, I did a leg sweep to create a lightning arc that was able to eliminate these two illusions easily.
Khagan then used a high-level illusion where I entered into a circle full of Khagan, I grinned and started to coat my body with lightning then went all out here.
The reality in the real world is that my body is unconscious but I am still standing tall with my stance, Sui training is very efficient because even if your mind is blank or controlled then your body will not move without the command of the mind.
"This guy is interesting, even though I gave the illusion on his head but his body is still in a fight stand" Khagan then approached me but my body reflexively disarmed him and then I attacked Khagan.
Khagan reflexively used his illusions but all the illusions Khagan created I attacked with one hundred percent accuracy making all his illusions just an easy target for me.
While my mind was still full of illusions I could see the orbs that kept falling, these orbs were very helpful in gaining the next power that I would have.
[+ 63,234 Orbs Gained]
Now it's not the time for me to buy something in the Shop but I have to get out of this illusion, I made a lightning shield then cast a dispell, my consciousness returned san saw the entire Khagan army as well as the Khagan himself uncreated by me.
"Impressive, you surpassed my expectations. What's your name?" I unconsciously subdued the Khagan army without realizing it, I then returned Khagan's Glaive.
"Valtor, Nice to meet you" We shook hands, then Khagan considered me a brother because of my courage to face the nightzmoras alone.
After this I became second in command in Khagan's army, I also learned from Khagan about the tactics he used which were quite brutal but efficient.
I had to learn that and follow him to Sargon's border where we would conquer the South demon, It seems a bit rushed but I have to be able to do this.
Khagan told me that I use a martial art that is quite unique as I seem to be unnerved even approaching myself seems impossible because my reactions are too fast and my attacks are too fatal, Although I did not execute Khagan's troops only made them immobile it was enough to make Khagan respond to me.
I'll name the martial art Slayer Art, maybe after this I'll try to buy a new Boost because I need to increase the intellect I have.
================
Kal'tsit Journal.
I met a person, I know the race he has is not native to here but he claims to be a person from beyond universe.
His name is Valtor Ismael, a strange sounding name but I can't make fun of him.
Valtor showed me a Railgun-like weapon from the previous civilization, this weapon of his was very unique but I was curious about it.
Uniquely, his Railgun can disappear and appear like magic but I can't assume anything bad.
What is his purpose here? What does he want? Does he want to? I told him about myself as a form of trust and he was somehow sad to hear my story.
Valtor promised to accompany me on adventures, I don't know what Valtor wants with Feranmut but Valtor wants to test the ability of his weapon.
For months we became Yan residents just to wait for the Great Hunt, the Great Hunt Valtor said was the Feranmut hunt but I was curious about what it could do.
The Great Hunt began, I took refuge with the people of Yan and I saw Valtor leaving with the Yan emperor to defeat Feranmut.
I saw with my own eyes, Valtor's weapon was able to subdue Feranmut and even kill him but Valtor suffered severe injuries that made his body comatose.
I panicked and tried my best to treat Valtor's wounds, until he woke up and I nagged him a lot, I don't know why I nagged him, but my soul felt that Valtor needed my advice.
Until that moment Valtor brought up an injection in his hand and I injected it, Valtor's body was enveloped in lightning until he returned to health as before, I was surprised, I was very curious about the injection. If that injection can reverse Oripathy then the effect will be amazing.
Then Sui was interested in Valtor for a reason that I recognized as logical, How Valtor can one shot a god? Sui never even thought that a human could do that.
Then Valtor demonstrated how Valtor imitated not imitated but deceived Sui, Valtor should have used a railgun but this was pure art, I don't think it was Originium art but pure magic, is Valtor a magician? That was my question until I saw with my eyes, Valtor's lightning can split the sky into two. But I can feel that the side effects of that attack must have left Valtor's hand completely paralyzed.
Sui was happy to teach Valtor True war, the true essence of war in martial arts while Valtor refused if I was not included.
Sui agreed but Sui kept his promise, Sui taught me all the knowledge he had besides martial arts and war, all of Sui's knowledge I mastered to where I myself was grateful to be with Valtor.
I don't know how to repay this feeling, but I will visit his training ground.
Every day I visit and visit to check on Valtor's condition, I want to make a drama where Sui teaches something irrelevant but Valtor never gets angry at Sui's behavior towards me and we even exchange opinions and views and jokes that make me even more confused, What is wrong with me?
I am comfortable with Valtor, I want to continue with him until where he says. We are partners, we never abandoned each other.
I hope that is a promise that I will forever remember and Valtor will remember.
End of journal.
Note, for some reason Valtor's smell is unique. Could it be the effect of the injection? Is it a pheromone? Or am I just a little sensitive? Questions for another day. Right now I have 6 questions that I need to figure out, Valtor might not tell me for reasons of his own but I'm sure, whatever the reason is as long as I'm comfortable and safe that's all that matters.
