Chapter 898: The Second Day of Training, Arad Is Winning?



Arad lay on his bed, Mira sleeping on one arm while Isdis slept on the other. Merlin slept on a bed beside them, Ignis curled up on her legs like a large dog, and Tina was sleeping on a bed beside Serin's cradle. Time quickly passed by, and Arad's brain kept going through what happened in the day as he slept.

The first day of the week-long training had ended, and the second day was about to start. By the end of the week, would he be able to fully absorb the overgod's dead heart, or will he fail and get killed by Kayden? Arad didn't know the answer to that, but he had his own guess. He'll either fully absorb the heart or fail and kill Kayden instead of being killed, he had no intention of dying in a battle that he didn't start.

The second day started, and Arad was standing once again inside Hati's training ground, facing Kayden who just arrived. "Did you have enough rest?" Kayden asked with a passive face, looking at Arad and immediately noticing that he got a bit leaner. "Or are you starving?" Arad had eaten his full yesterday; he indeed didn't finish the whole tall neck in one sitting. Currently, as he stood, he was well-fed and rested, ready to perform at his peak. But that was only physical, as Arad didn't know what kind of training it would be, he couldn't be fully prepared.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Does that even matter? It's not real training if I came ready for it." Arad said, his head slightly tilted to the side as he glared at Kayden, "What should we do? Should I just try killing you?"

"It's the opposite, try to not get killed." Kayden suddenly disappeared from Arad's field of view. He appeared behind him swinging a fist.

Arad immediately accelerated to dodge, but he was a bit slow to react and ended up having his side blow to bits as Kayden's fist scratched him. Arad could easily accelerate rapidly to attack, but it was still difficult for him to do it on instinct to avoid attacks, Kayden is trying to push him further to learn to do that.

While to most creatures Arad was far too fast for them to face him, which allowed him to dodge all of their attacks with ease, Kayden was the first person to far exceed him in speed and acceleration. Arad was forced to learn, like an amateur martial artist finally facing a master, he started to notice all of the wasted movements he was doing and started cutting them off.

Arad usually dodged punches by running behind his target to attack them from the back, but had a lot of wasted moves and was extremely inefficient. Such moves were useless against Kayden and Arad was forced to shorten them. Instead of trying to run around him, he'll simply duck to avoid the attack, and instead of attacking from the back, he'll counter with a punch right beside Kayden's fist, nearly avoiding death by a hair strand to maximize his efficiency. With each dodge, Arad started to realize that this was what Alcott was doing all along. Dodging certain death at the last moment to deliver deadly blows to the overpowered dragons. Even now, Arad was already far faster and physically stronger than Alcott, yet he'd lose to him, all because Alcott had trained to be extremely efficient against dragons and use all of his knowledge to dodge their attacks and counter.

Arad was going to pay back all of the pain of yesterday a hundred-fold, and Kayden started getting tossed left and right, smacked in the face with the nunchaku and then slashed by the sword, getting kicked in the guts and had his body thrown through several massive boulders with ease.

The fight had changed drastically, from facing a single unarmed Arad to facing two armed Arads with both of them being physically enchanted by the constellation of Taurus. Hati who was watching from far away could only stare with a shocked face, Arad was really as rabid as she heard. Poke him the wrong way and you'll see a horrifying growth speed.

Arad spun around alongside his clone as they threw kicks toward Kayden at the same time, but those weren't regular kicks, but instead tuned in the same way Arad had learned to fight from Dalla. Painful slap kicks chained in with his attacks and extreme aggression.

In the span of a day, Arad had learned Kayden's acceleration, mixed it with his fighting style, and lastly brought Dalla's fighting style that was used by the weak to fight the strong, and made it into a deadly martial art of his own.

"I see you've improved quite well. Shall we start today's lesson?" Kayden used one of Arad's attacks to jump back and landed on one foot, his eyes glowing red.

Arad had first learned how to accelerate instantly, and now Kayden had made sure that he was competent enough to use it for both offense and defense. The second stage of this training could start, and it's about putting that skill to work.

Engulfed in demonic black flames, Kayden disappeared and Arad's clone got slashed in half across the torso. "You can teleport with a move called void step or walk, right? Now accelerate in the middle of that, try to surpass what's possible, and use teleportation not as a moving tool, but as a way to fully utilize the acceleration to attack."

Arad gasped as he saw Kayden holding a black katana in his hands, that blade wasn't made of metal, but out of his own flesh. The god-slaying demon started to reveal fragments of his power, and Arad is now facing a bigger hurdle to surpass than yesterday.

Arad's clone immediately regenerated and he lunged with Arad toward Kayden to fight back, but both of them ended up getting slashed as Kayden started teleporting left and right while accelerating and decelerating at a mind-boggling rate. Trying to predict his moves was already hard before with just the sudden acceleration that left no telegraph, and now it became even more confusing with him accelerating in the middle of teleporting. Kayden's training isn't over yet, and Arad is only starting his learning journey. The path to fully utilizing the power of his own body and void.
