Book 2: Surviving In Another World From Zero

Chapter 21: Black Lightning

He sat down after being invited into his residence.

"I'm sorry it's like this."

"No, I have no problem with this, by the way may I know what it means by first and last."

Shen placed his homemade tea before replying as Ardhi tasted it.

"On that, my life is not long anymore."

"Are you sick?"

Hearing the reply, Shen laughed.

"You're an adventurer, no adventurer says such a thing."

"I don't like to talk rude."

"I can see it."

Shen sipped his tea then continued.

"I've been sick for quite a while, I think it's only a few months away that I'm really dead haha."

One who could laugh at his death was something that was rarely seen by others even Ardhi himself.

It was not a form of despair but a form of someone who had accepted his destiny, in other words before he must have tried everything to cure him, Ardhi was neither a god nor a great person he was just a human being, it was clear that he too would not be able to do anything to the figure in front of him.

"You don't sympathize with me?"

"You don't look like someone who should accept someone's sympathy" he replied honestly.

"I like students who understand the situation, from now on I'll train very hard because that's why be prepared."

Ardhi bowed low.

"Please guide her."

Without waiting for tomorrow Ardhi has received initial instructions for him, he is required to wear iron all over his body, especially on his wrists and legs.

It had enough weight to kill someone.

"Every day you have to wear it, which is why don't take it off unless you want to take a shower."

"Understand."

"You seem to be fighting hard there" Eve said.

"Are you waiting for me or something?"

"There's no way I'm doing that, I'm not a lonely woman," she replied as she turned her face away.

Ardhi felt a lot of strangeness with the people in his house that he should not have known.

The next morning he came back to train again, Latifa accompanied him to see how Ardhi practiced swinging the sword with his present condition.

"Young girl, you're worried about her condition."

"Obviously, I was wondering how hard training was until Ardhi came home the other night. Now that I see him, you're a heartless monster old man."

Shen laughing.

"You make me like a bad guy, an adventurer who acts like a knight and now an Arch Priest who likes to talk rude."

"As much as you want to think about me, I don't care."

Both of them turned their eyes towards Ardhi who kept accelerating his pace.

The next few days he started practicing one on one with Shen using his own sword.

In that short period of time Ardhi was able to emit lightning from his body.

Unlike Shen, Ardhi had black lightning in his body.

"Is this okay?" tanyanya doubt.

"No problem, your body's match with the dark element is very strong, I don't know how you can do it but the dark element is quite rarely obtained by someone even higher than this."

This was because of Ardhi's previous request towards the goddess, the basis of his strength had equaled that of a demon king all he needed was to train her.

As the lightning struck Ardhi disappeared he was easily blown away by Shen to the point of looking up at the sky.

"I think today is enough."

"Please one more time."

"You're very stubborn, but I don't hate it. If you can't go home battered, you can sleep here."

Ardhi nodded in agreement.
