I Became the Companion of the Gods

85 – EP.20.5 Back home -2

After breakfast, I accepted Fenrir’s offer and now I’m back in the village, the home of Yata religion after a long time.

The reason is to use the various facilities in the basement of the Yata-gyo main school.

Unbeknownst to me, Yata Bridge, which had developed infinitely, had been transformed into a building on a different level from the buildings I had seen before.

Facilities comparable to those of government agencies.

Only if the government building was a tall building rising upwards, the main building of the Yata Bridge continued downward.

I wondered for a moment if this was realistically possible.

Considering the future technology that Yata often talks about, it wasn’t that impossible.

“Human, it is a theory class before starting training in earnest. What do you think is the reason you are weak compared to the other divine beasts?”

“Isn’t it because you are human?”

“I’m not saying it’s wrong, but I’m not talking about species differences. I’m asking about conceptual things like physical strength, intelligence, strength, etc.”

“Um…. If so, it must be a lack of ability.”

“Even if it rots, it’s not for nothing that the saying “Junchi” Exists.”

I don’t know if I’m praising or being sarcastic.

I wish I could do just one thing.

“Anyway, that’s the correct answer. What you lack compared to other divine beasts is that you may have some physical flaws, but more than that, your lack of ability.”

“But is it inevitable? Even though he got power from the Shinsoo he made a temporary contract with, that was only part of it. Besides, with that part of the power, I get a part of my companion animals’ power again. Of course, there are many limitations on my ability.”

“Do you really think that there is no further development of your abilities?”

“Yes? Yes….”

“Then let me tell you that it was a huge mistake. Even if it is part of the power, the power of the Shinsoo can always grow.”

“Seo, growth is possible?!”

“Yes, even in my infancy, I could only use the ability to maintain the status quo for 3 seconds, although now I can increase it as much as I want.”

The status quo duration is only 3 seconds… ?

The invasion of Fenrir 600 years ago would have been devastation for at least a year at least.

The 3 seconds he talked about was completely unbelievable to me,

“By the way, it was the same for Hati and Squall. Hati could only make a small snowball, and Squall could only make a small ember. The twins back then were very cute… But I miss them.”

“So you’re saying I can enhance my abilities too? Even if it’s borrowed power?”

“When I compared the power of a divine beast to an apple tree, you borrowed an apple from the tree. And it’s up to you whether you just eat it and end it, or plant it in the ground and grow an apple tree.”

Growing apples…… It means that there is room for growth even if you borrowed part of your ability.

If that’s the case….

“I want to know how to make my abilities stronger!”

When I faced Arachne, if there was one thing I felt the most, it was my lack of ability.

While using the powers of the divine beasts, I felt helpless, thinking that I could never win against the divine beasts by myself.

Without even trying.

The days when I admit to myself that there is a difference in rank between a human and a Shinsoo, and I always gave up saying that I couldn’t do it.

If only I could become stronger through training with Fenrir…….

“Let me ask you one more time, are you really swearing that there will be no remorse?”

“Yes!”

“Okay, then die now.”

“Yes… ?”

-Kwajik!

Fenrir slams the giant wolf’s paw down at me.

My body, unable to respond to an attack faster than a gun, was crushed by the sharp wolf’s claws and weight.

In the end, in a whirlpool of great pain…. I met my first death.

***

“Ha ha ha ha!! Die! Die more!!”

“No! Have you seen such a crazy wolf?!”

Yatagyo’s training facility is in ruins here and there.

Nevertheless, the wolf in front of me attacked me without hesitation and broke the broken place even more.

“If you think that only claws and teeth are weapons, you are mistaken, human.”

“What is that… It’s ok?!”

The soft-looking tail of Fenrir sharpened like an awl and pierced my abdomen.

As a result, my veins flowed backwards, causing me to spit out handfuls of blood on the floor.

I feel the pain after that.

As in Taochil, the piercing pain in my abdomen stimulated my nerves madly and made me sick.

As soon as the wolf’s tail pulled out of his abdomen, the pain subsided like magic.

The status quo of Fenrir was activated.

With the ability that Fenrir put on my body from the moment I decided to train.

Whether my body was torn, crushed, or turned into powder, they said it would return to its normal state….

“Evasion failed again this time, ugh! Tsk! How did you not last a minute properly?”

“Collock… ! Cough… ! Say something that makes sense, to hold out against a substitute for more than a minute!”

I’d rather run away from Miho who is in jealousy mode for more than a minute…… This is too much

Anyway, against a wolf in front of you, which is not a normal divine beast, you can’t last even 10 seconds, let alone 1 minute.

It’s not that you can’t predict his attacks.

However, even if you predicted it, it would be difficult to dodge the speed and sharpness of the attack.

Above all else, the biggest challenge was the arrival of an unseen attack from the future.

Even if you use Yata’s ability to see the future, it’s only from a first-person perspective.

In other words, if an attack came from a place that the future me couldn’t see, there was no way for me to escape.

“So I didn’t tell you beforehand? It’s going to be a tough workout. Anyway, I will keep killing you until you last one minute.”

“Even Satan will learn a lesson and go, and then slap his forehead.”

“Because I am personally raising you to be strong, even that Satan will understand with a generous heart.”

It’s the first time that Satan has such a mind…….

“So be prepared! You thief!”

“As expected, you have selfish feelings, right?!”

“I don’t know, they evade attacks by twisting them!”

In order to avoid a foot strike from the upper right corner, lightly twist your body and step back as it is.

The next one is a tail sweep attack to slap me on the leg… However, it would be correct to see this as a goal for the next one.

After lightly jumping to avoid his tail, he succeeded in stepping away from the wolf by releasing air towards the mouth of the wolf approaching to bite him.

But regardless, the wolf rushed at me to ram his body, so I met the wolf’s eyes and hallucinated at the right timing.

That’s the hallucination I’m trying to avoid by right.

Even if I cast a hallucination on Fenrir’s opponent, it only works for 0.1 Seconds.

That 0.1 Second shifted the direction of Fenrir’s charge slightly to the right.

After confirming this, I suddenly threw my left side and narrowly avoided his charge.

‘No, I couldn’t avoid it.’

After confirming that some of the flesh on my side had been ripped off, I used fire to stop the bleeding before the ability to maintain the status quo was activated.

The ability to maintain the status quo that Fenrir put on me is activated when I receive lethal damage.

If you don’t take fatal damage, it won’t activate.

In other words, even if you get injured, if you don’t die, the training continues.

“Oh, you hold up pretty well this time?”

“Thanks to that, I’m constantly activating my future predictions, so my head is on the verge of breaking.”

“If you continue to use it like that, it will be strengthened.”

“But after thinking about it for a while. If you die, you go back to the past, so isn’t it meaningless?”

“The physical part is the same, but the senses are different. As you can see, you, who were helpless at first, are gradually responding to my attacks, right?”

“Surely so.”

Except for the first surprise attack, I couldn’t escape the wolf’s attack until about 50 times and was killed unsightly.

In that sense, having evaded 3 wolf attacks is actually an achievement to be very proud of.

“The same goes for Shinsoo’s ability. No matter how strong my ability to maintain the status quo is, it cannot interfere with the abilities of other divine beasts. So, the time of the world flows unchangingly.”

“I see.”

“Anyway, your abilities are developing normally, so don’t worry.”

“Okay. Anyway, can we have a leisurely conversation like this? It’s already been 40 seconds since we started?”

“Uh ha ha!! Doesn’t care! You won’t last less than a minute anyway.”

“Ah… ?”

Even though Fenrir’s body disappears momentarily, he suddenly appears in front of me and opens his mouth.

I thought this could be predicted and avoided, but….

This time, not one Fenrir approaches me with its mouth open, but four….

They were attacking me from different directions.

‘f*ck! How can I avoid this?!’

***

“Stop, ship lord! Be all right… ?”

“Sa, help me….”

Thousands of repeated deaths, thousands of times of pain, my mental strength was crawling on the floor.

Today’s training was forcibly ended thanks to Kor who arrived just in time for the evening.

It is fortunate that the ability to maintain the status quo did not stop until time….

“Father? Just like how he trained Hati in the past, he didn’t risk his father’s ability on the ship owner and kill him at random… ?”

“Uh…. Is that training right?”

“I told you before! It’s such an extreme training method!!”

“Yeah, but this training was agreed upon by that human and accepted directly!”

“But… !!”

“Cor, I’m fine.”

Cor starts to get angry as he burns his hair.

I grabbed her wrist and told her not to be so angry.

As Fenrir said, this training was purely my own.

If the training was unbearable, I could have escaped long ago.

However, I have endured and accepted this nonsensical training so far in my selfishness to ease the burden on my pets.

Therefore, there was never any reason or need for Kor to be angry with her father.

“Seonlord….”

“Look at that, doesn’t that person say that too? So, I plan to grow him by killing a lot in the future.”

“Ah… ! Does your father not like the ship owner that much?”

“Yes!!”

Fenrir answers with the freshest voice ever.

Looking at him like that, I could only think of one thing.

‘f*cking Wolf Cub….’
