After Shadow died Shedoden actually returned with ramen and water
placed it in a sea through blue barrier container
And says condescendingly
"Don't worry you'll revive in four days
This replenishment food will be enough to recover your vitality and than we'll begin the second phase of training"
Shedoden sits next to Shadow's corpse and places a concealment skill on him
"If im gonna stay here i don't want to be smelling or even sensing your decaying body"
After Shedoden got into a meditative position while in his spirit form he mediated for four days straight as shadows decayed body reconstructed to a shriveled state
Shadow than opened his eyes and without a word got up and removed the concealment barrier on him with a hand wave and turns his head to see the food and water Shedoden left.
While silently eating Shedoden sensed his presence and remarks to himself
'Shadow is emitting a powerful aura of bloodlust as if he could attack at any moment yet he seems so composed,prioritizing gaining his strength'
Shedoden smiles softly
'You truly are unique shadow and I can't wait to see what you'll do once you gain your energy'
After eating shadow bows his head
And with a calm but cold voice says
"Thank you for the food"
Shedoden mockingly says
"I know that you know I can feel your strong bloodlust towards me,yet you haven't lashed out at me why's that"
Shadow slowly gets up as his says straightforwardly
"Simple i haven't calculated the best way to kill you without resistance but it seems I can't find that option"
Shedoden chuckles
"NOW why would you even think you can kill–"
Time slows down,shedoden noticed the gathering wind essence as the air gradually became denser under shadows foot and within a moment shadows foot was inching away from striking the side of his face,
He then thinks
"Is it just me or did he imitate my leg kick from four days ago,well regardless it's clearly not strong enough to hurt me...but it seems his essence mastery improved to the point where he can coat his foot in wind essence'
With an effortless gesture of his right hand shedoden blocks shadows kick
A gust of wind passes Shedoden as it ripples through the atmosphere
Shedoden continues to mock shadow
"Well i can give a c+ for the effort you put into the kick at the very least"
"Tsk,you really know how to PISS ME OFFFFF!"
shadow than attacks Shedoden with a powerful hand chop,shedodens eyes narrows slightly as he keeps his nonchalant expression and once again blocks shadows attack with his left hand and counters by grabing his arm with both his hands, instantly throwing Shadow over his shoulder before slamming him to the ground
"Ughhhhhh"
Shadow silently cries in pain as the ground cracks
wind essence floats into the air from Shadow's motionless body on the ground
"Really your out of it from just that one attack,how incompetent are–
Shedoden desively backs up dodging a devastating sudden heel kick from Shadow
His kicks cuts through the air,he jumps back up and gets into a fighting stance,his expression filled with determination and bloodlust as it intensifies the situation,the air now much heavier.
Shadow thinks to himself
"Shedoden's extremely fast and has a battle sense better then mine so now the question is how do I bea–"
Before he could finish his thought
Shadows world flipped upside down as his head was cut off in that instance but than suddenly his back to his original position
He touches his neck his breath weighing as he senses an intense bloodlust from Shedoden
'Did I just die just now?...no its because of the sheer bloodlust his emitting that I subconsciously thought I died'
He thought
The ground shakes,bits of debrie float and shake
Shedoden stares at shadow intensely as he thinks to himself
"You catch on quickly,people at your level breakdown and run at me as a desperate attempt to hurt me,but you kept your composure,im slightly impressed.
Shadow begins to panic as he simulates multiple fights in his head And all of them ending with him losing.
"What do i do what do I do every scenario i come with up ends with me losing...am... am I really that out classed"
He remarks to himself
"Of course your outclassed"
"Huh"
Shedoden as if reading his mind tells him bluntly
"You really think a noobie like you could match me,because if so your very wrong"
"Tsk"
Shadow grits his teeth in frustration
Shedoden gestures with his two fingers
"If your so upset about come at me!"
His expression was calm and domineering
Shadows expression changes he begins focusing wind essence around his body
He appears in front of Shedoden and throws a punch that ripples through the air but suddenly all the momentum disappeared as it gently hit Shedoden
Shedoden with a serious expression remarks
"I knew this would happen but im still surprised your in one peace"
Shadow coughs out blood and essence matter as he bleeds from his nose and eyes
Thud
Shadow falls unconscious to the floor as his body becomes transparent,shifting to his spirit form
Shedoden takes a deep breath and sighs disappointedly
He picks up shadows body and says aloud mockingly
"Man your idiot...but I'm impressed
Shedoden voice becomes thoughtful yet condescendingly admits.
"I'd never say this to your face but I kind of enjoyed that warm up"
As the atmosphere becomes lighter yet oddly eerie,Shedodens body glows blue
As he teleports away.
4 days prior
Mystery flys through the clean and joyfull atmosphere of the city as he flys he thinks to himself
"Maaaaaan I can't even get more information about this host,BECAUSE HE BARELY KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT HIMSELF!
Mystery lets out a defeated sigh but than notices a crowd of people heading towards a store like a mob
Mysterys curiousity peaks and with a questioning tone he says
"NOW what could that be about?"
He flies over to here the crowd chanting in unison
"OPEN UP...OPEN UP"
Mystery glances around the area to see a business man in a blue taxioto running hurriedly towards the shop but than suddenly,he finds himself in the air
Before he could scream,Mystery covers his mouth and asks him
"What's with the mob of people,is it a riot or something?"
The business man relaxes as he sees as he sees Mystery
Mystery removes his hand as the man speaks
"OH its just you mr 3.0.6"
Mystery immediately corrects
"Call me Mystery from now on"
The man now slightly flustered responds
"Um ok,Mystery well I guess you forgot again,this is the fifth time I tell you about this but...im willing to tell you again"
The business man than accesses the world system,showing an event prompt of
[Forge Lorenzo]
[Hosting a 50% of in his store for the week]
He points
"See"
Mystery stares at the prompt dumbfounded
The man then seemingly recalls something
"OH that's right"
He went into his taxioto pocket and pulls out a fresh cold caramel with strawberry syrup ice cream and hands it to Mystery
"You usually remember when you eat This specific ice-cream type"
Mystery grabs it and with only just a lick
His sent into a memory of him as 3.0.6 melting near a store and a man with long brown hair,a muscular physique,light brown skin with a straight face and with the name tag as Forge,crouches and angrily asks
"Hey 3.0.6 its already been a month,with you laying down here by my store,people already think you're some kind of rug so can you get off my property"
3.0.6 than says oddly
"Duuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
Forge face palms,frustrated than sighs
"Ok what do you want?"
3.0.6 smiles but than it suddenly disappeared
"I don't know"
Forge than stares at him with a dumbfounded expression
The wind carrying the eerie silence
Abruptly Forge scratches his head
And stares at 3.0.6 is melted state
"Uhhhhhh well so far all your doing is reminding of the time i had to go to the cartoon realm to restock on my ice-cream supply,so I guess you can have ice-cream"
Forge than gave 3.0.6 a caramel strawberry syruped ice-cream and 3.0.6 than reformed back to normal before taking the ice-cream and begins licking it as the memory ends
Mystery than comes back to the current moment questioningly he thinks
'Did I just experience a memory from 3.0.6 and if that was 3.0.6s memory..
That means'
Mystery grins as white energy surrounds his body violently but than mystery here's a voice
"Hey mystery could you let me down now"
Mysterys aura immediately disappears
awkwardly he lets the business man down
"Hey what your name anyways"
Mystery inquirs
The man sighs again
"You better remember it this time,its Jeremy"
"OH ok...seeya than Jeremy"
Jeremy begins to walk towards Forge is shop and thinks to himself thoughtfully
"Mystery sure seems different now...good for him"
