Forsaken in a Dying World

Chapter 9: Training



Alice Goes to take a bath at the river while Kai is cooking more wolf meat

Alice returns and sits down near the campfire

Kai says

"Can you teach me swordsmanship?"

Alice chokes on the food and says

"W-Why would u want to learn it even if you did want to why me?"

Kai told alice

"Well I am broke I have no relative and your swordsmanship is very cool looking"

Alice said

"Fine I will teach you at night"

After a while she added 

"So we have as much time as we want?"

Kai replied

"yea. We will do the next wave tomorrow"

Alice agreed

After they were done eating Kai excercised today too but while carrying alice this time

Alice said

"You need to train your body.Then your mind to use swords"

Alice looked around the cave and saw only her sword which was lying on the ground

"Did you use my sword to kill those wolfs?"

Kai replied while trying to catch his breath

"N-NO I DIDNT"

Alice said

"Wait YOU KILLED THEM BARE HANDED?"

Kai replied

"NO I HAVE A BLESSING THAT GIVES ME A SWORD"

Alice told Kai

"I never heard of a blessing like that

Kai replied

"Me neither"

After running around with Alice for 3 hours he sat down

Alice told kai

"You have a lot of stamina huh?"

kai said

"yea I had to collect wood chop trees or I would get beaten"

Alice patted kai

"its okay now"

kai then resumed his excercise 

He did 500 pushups while Alice was sitting on top of him and 200 squats

After that he was lying down

Alice told him

"Now do 5000 swings with a sword"

kai said

"5000 THAT MANY?"

Kai shouted

"OI WOLF WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE RETURN AFTER COMPLETING 50 WAVES??"

The wolf said

"Nothing much after all time is frozen. But you will age if you spend 2 years in my cathedral your body will age accordingly and remain the same as it was in the cathedral

Alice said

"WHA-WHATS THAT SOUND"

kai told

"Thats the giant wolf"

Alice looked at the ceiling and then lies down

"Lets sleep we have to rest for tomorrow"

They both silently fell asleep

In the morning they took turns bathing then they cooked the remaining wolf meat

In the morning They practiced with a sword

Soon night was approaching

When night came the campfire illuminated the entire cave

Kai shouted

"WAVE 3 NOW"

The wolf replied

"OK"

Soon abot 120 wolfs came to the cave

Kai activated his blessings and heard a voice

"[Child of Chaos] Has resonated with you [Child of Chaos] has leveled up"

Kai thought to himself while dashing towards the pack of wolves

"RON MY BLESSING CAN LEVEL UP???"

RON replied

"yes now you have 10 years of experience"

Before he could even get close to the wolves he heard Alice

"Devour me. Hunt me. Kill me. Ignam Flamme[Hellsfire]"

The entire cave got covered in a white flame 

Kai almost thought he went blind from the light

In a matter of seconds more than half the wolves we burned

Kai stood still motionless trying to understand what just happened

They heard a voice

"It has been boring seeing you guys doing the same thing over and over"

After a while the wolf added

"lets make it a little more fun instead of 50 waves lets do 25 and you have to do 3 waves at once"

Kai shouted in anger

"HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO THAT 1 WAVE NOW HAS MORE THAN 120 WOLVES"

The wolf stated

"Am I your slave of something. GO FYS HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA"

Soon About 200 Wolves came but this time it wasnt just wolves it was Wolves,Ogres,Goblins,Arachnes,Harpies and 1 Singular Skeleton

Kai tried counting but he gave up after counting 999 monsters

Alice Screamed

"KAI THIS IS NO TIME TO LOSE FOCUS THEY ARE ALL MINDLESS BEINGS WE CAN WIN MOST OF THEM ARE BRONZE AND SILVER RANK"

Ron told kai

"This is troublesome and confusing why is there only one skeleton and that is sitting down on the ground"

Kai and Alice ran towards the horde of monsters

This was nothing like before

The wolves were now attacking in a group kai could not touch them because of the harpies [Air Blade] and the entire ground was sticky because of the webs from the Arachnes

Kai felt like whatever he did he coudnt touch them 

While Kai was distracted by his thought, A Harpy shot a [Air Blade] at his neck while trying to block it Kai's arm was cut

Kai gritted his teeth while trying to stand up

Kai said

"[Shadow Heal]"

A shadow enveloped kai's hand

The entire Cave was filled with the sound of laughter

"HAHHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAH NOW THIS IS WHAT I CALL FUN"

The Wolf was laughing

Kai enraged thought nothing but murder

He heard a voice it was the system

"[Child of Chaos] Your bloodlust can be felt by other monsters or humans who are weaker than you"

An Aura filled the entire cave 

Kai tossed his sword away

"[Sword of The Night] has reached its time limit it now shall be set on cooldown"

Kai's eyes were filled with bloodlust his eyes burning a bright a red

Every creature in the cave was shivering Alice alone being an exception

Kai thought to himself

"Alice is the only strong being here huh. doesnt matter I shall kill these lowly creatures first"

Kai ran towards the hord of monsters Killing anything that moves with his bare fist

With the [Shadow Armour] skill he didnt need a weapon he himself was the weapon

The awakened [Child of Chaos] made kai feel like he practiced every martial art for more than 10 years

He ripped wolves to shreds 

He gripped the wolves and tore them into 2 

The harpies [Air Blade] Also didnt have an effect

Before long all of the monsters attention was directed towards kai

Alice told

"They seem a lot slower now what did you do?"

kai without replying kept on killing monster after monster

Alice soon joined him too

Both of them were like they were made for each other. Kai being balanced between strength and defense while Alice used ranged attacks

Kai's body was being cut , chewed, slashed but he didnt flinch

The first to go down was the Goblins

Goblins were fast but they didnt do that much damage

Next were the Wolves

Then the ogres were killed

Ogres were Huge Pigs with a Club they did heavy damage but they were too slow

The Arachne and harpy were last as they were swift but they were large targets to hit

As kai trained as much as he could his stamina was way better

all that remained was the singular skeleton that didnt move the entire time
