I Will Be the Son of Man

"Time is precious. For that kind of thing, we can wait until we get there."

Scathach chuckled, then she walked to Hill's side and put her hand on the other's shoulder.

The fingers of the other hand carved a rune in the air, and in an instant, the entire spirit transfer device was activated.

Hill only felt his eyes go dark, and his consciousness seemed to be stripped away for a moment.

When he came back to his senses, he found himself standing in a gloomy world.

The sky is foggy, like a layer of gray gauze.

Looking around the whole world, I didn't see any extra delicacy, just some gray mountains and a few forests in the distance that seemed to be also stained with gray.

And where he is now is in an open space near a castle-like building.

Looking around, Hill didn't notice Scathach's figure.

Is this the [Kingdom of Shadows]?

Hill looked around again with some curiosity. In his imagination, the kingdom of the dead he originally thought might be somewhat similar to the underworld, full of undead and the like.

But looking at it now, the whole world is a bit empty, not even a single undead can be seen.

Is it really okay for a person to stay in such a world all the time?

Hill couldn't help thinking of Tiamat, and couldn't help feeling that the [Kingdom of Shadows] where Scathach lived had some similarities with the [World of Imaginary Numbers].

Is the outside of the castle similar to this place......

Can't help looking at the mountains and forests in the distance, Hill became confused.

"Why, do you want to go outside and have a look?"

At this moment, a voice came from behind him. Turning his head to look, Hill realized that it was indeed Scatha.

"But if you want to go out and have a look, it's not impossible. But apart from some monsters, there is nothing special outside."

"And, don't you want to become stronger? Then, hurry up."

Scarha smiled, and a scarlet spear appeared in her hand, looking at Hill with great interest.

However, instead of responding to her invitation, Hill rubbed his belly instead.

- Goo~!

A voice of longing came from the belly, Hill frowned and asked.

"Can I eat first?"

Scathach was taken aback for a moment, then laughed dumbfounded.

She withdrew the spear in her hand, waved at Hill, and signaled him to follow her.

"That's right. If you don't eat enough, you won't have the strength to train."

"Come with me, and fix your diet first."

Hill followed the other party's footsteps, walked into the castle, and came to a hall-like space.

Originally thought that there was only Scathach in this castle, but after arriving here, Hill still found the existence of several servants dressed up.

However, after a closer look, I found that those existences were all undead, but they were very similar to humans.

Scathach gave an order to one of the servants, and then he went to the kitchen to prepare food.

"Wait here for a while, by the way, before starting training, I also have something to ask you."

Sitting on the head seat of the extended version of the dining table, Skaha's two slender legs were stacked up and down, crossed his legs, and leaned on the chair leisurely.

This place was originally used by those who came to [Kingdom of Shadows] to study in the past, similar to the cafeteria.

However, after a long time, the place also became empty.

After all, not everyone is cursed with immortality like her.

Hill found a seat and sat down, then looked at Scathach.

"What do you want to ask, Scathach?"

Hearing what the other party called him, Skaha raised his eyebrows, didn't care about this, and said with a smile.

"When you say you want to become stronger, which aspect are you referring to? Is it just your swordsmanship? Or, you hope to make up for it in other skills."

Although he is very proficient in the use of various martial arts and weapons, Skaha is best at spearmanship.

She knew that Hill seemed to have attainments in sword and bow skills, but if possible, she still hoped to teach the other party his spear skills.

After all, but in terms of potential, Scathach can be sure with his eyes that he has seen countless heroes that the other party is the most potential existence she has ever seen.

Therefore, the other party is also the most likely to be able to realize their wishes.

Because of her own selfishness, she hopes that the disciples she teaches can use the spear skills she teaches to realize her wish.

That's why Scathach asked tentatively.

Hill frowned and thought about it.Swordsmanship is indeed a skill that he often uses now, so targeted training in this area is a must.

However, as Scatha said.As for other aspects of skills, if you may also understand it yourself, you may be able to deal with the enemy more targetedly in the future.

But if you want to try everything again, the time is obviously not enough.

"If possible, I would like to learn spearmanship again. Si...... No, Master."

Since he is holding the mentality of studying, Hill also changed the name of the other party.

"Oh, is that so? I already have a general idea, so let's start training after lunch later."

I don't know if it's because of the change of address, but Skaha smiled a little more.But looking at that smile, Hill somehow remembered Cu Chulainn's miserable appearance......

PS1: Update is here!This chapter is considered a transitional chapter...  

Chapter 027: "Sticks" and Apples

The queen of the Demon Realm [Kingdom of Shadows], Scathach, who possesses the skill of killing gods, is worthy of her name. She has considerable insights on the road of martial arts.

Only a few days have passed, and in the daily training and guidance, Hill has stabilized the original realm of swordsmanship, and is much more familiar with it than before.

However, what Scathach is best at is spearmanship after all.Therefore, in terms of swordsmanship, if Hill wants to improve again, there is no way to provide too much teaching.

After all, at this point, the rest can only be explored by the other party.

On the other hand, Hill can be regarded as formally learning spear skills from the opponent.

Although he seems to have a unique talent in learning skills, what he is most used to is the silver sword that he has always used.

Therefore, learning spear skills is actually based on the idea of ​​wanting to increase one's own experience.

Regarding this, Scathach didn't have any strange emotions after knowing it.After all, she taught her spear skills to the other party, and there will always be times when she will use them in the future. Instead of worrying about this aspect, it is better to increase the amount of training.

Speaking of this, after a few days, Hill understood why Cu Chulainn and Lixiang showed such expressions back then.

Scathach's training is indeed very strict. After each sparring session, he usually consumes quite a lot of energy, which caused Hill's appetite to involuntarily increase.

Although he can still get used to the hard training and the merciless one-on-one guidance, the only thing that annoys Hill is that Skaha will set some goals occasionally.

And if these goals are not accomplished, he will not be allowed to eat apples.

After all, in terms of food, even though [Kingdom of Shadows] is in this demonic environment, it does not lack these things, at most it is just a bit monotonous.

And after each training session, Skaha will also ensure that Hill replenishes the necessary energy and rests before starting the next round of training.

However, Apple's words are not counted in the dinner, it's just his personal preference.

And once, after Scathach discovered Hill's preference, he threw out a bait.

——The apples produced by 【Land of Shadows】.

Although [Kingdom of Shadows] is an exotic and magical land that cannot even be touched by sunlight, fruit trees and the like can still survive.

Perhaps due to the special relationship of the location, it itself has also undergone certain changes.

And the so-called [Kingdom of Shadows] apples were only planted by Scathach a long time ago.Even the saplings of the fruit trees were brought in by the disciples who came to study outside.

Therefore, if you want to say something special, the apples are actually not much different from ordinary apples.

It's just a little more gray in color, and it has a little difference in texture and taste.

It's just that Scathach didn't expect that it was originally intended to motivate Hill to study spear skills harder, but it turned out to have a miraculous effect.

After all, for Hill, this is different from [Golden Apple] and ordinary apples, as well as the [Christmas Apple] that is unique to [Shadow Country] that he just got not long ago. It is completely different from the ones he has tasted before. .

Although he hasn't tasted the [Golden Apple] yet, because of the [Golden Apple], there is only one left on hand, and those immature ones, it's not time to eat yet.

As for the apples in [Kingdom of Shadows], they are almost as big as an orchard.However, attribution is all Scatha's.

Therefore, in order to collect these apples, Hill worked hard every day to complete the training tasks set by Scathach.

However, perhaps because of his rapid progress, the difficulty of training tasks is also soaring day by day, and even Hill sometimes cannot complete it, which leads to not getting the daily apple in the end.

But Hill didn't have any complaints, he just felt regretful.Because the deterioration that cannot be completed in one day means that one less apple is taken.And if you take one less apple, it means you will eat one less in the future.

Perhaps, for him, this feeling of "torture" was even more "painful" than when Cu Chulainn and Lixiang were training.

..............

Swish.

The scarlet spear cut through the air, like lightning running through the air, and stabbed straight at Hill.

And Hill was also holding a long spear, and he deflected the opponent's attack with one shot, attacking back and forth.

Sparks burst into the air, and the wine-red figure and the pure white figure kept interlacing, and the aftermath of the impact caused waves of earth and stone to splash.

After counting for 10 minutes, a scarlet spear was pointed at Hill and stopped a few centimeters from his neck.

"Okay, for today, let's stop here for the time being."

Scathach retracted the spear in his hand, and glanced at Hill with some satisfaction.

Whether it is in terms of talent or speed of improvement, Hill is the most conspicuous one among the people she taught.

Even Cu Chulainn was inferior to the boy in front of him in terms of talent.

However, the battle does not depend on talent to determine the outcome, and sometimes faith and arrogance are also very important.
