he found this out through training as well. the cloud control over his lightning seemed to be easier and so for now he would rely on the storm clouds to be his optic sight for firing his lightning while doing it without was much more like using an iron sight on a weapon that shot projectiles.
Monsoon moved around while casually sitting on a small cloud. twisting and turning out the way of Damon's attacks. "clouds are not that fast,then again it's nothing normal about the ones he can make." Damon thought. his lightning barrages had to come to an end within four minutes because of his ki pool. he felt it had taken a large hit. too large for him to continue throwing lightning bolts out while continuing to miss his target.
Damon's breathing was heavy as his shoulders went up and down. monsoon was now a little distance away stepping off the cloud and onto the ground. he stood and looked at Damon for a few seconds before running towards him. Damon raised his arms in an x shape as monsoon's raised fist was approaching with speed.
Bang !
A loud sound reverberated as one of Damon's arms snapped. it folded in like a lawn chair while his body reverted back to his normal form.
Ahhhhhhhrrrrrg!
His body was knocked back as he crashed into a canyon and fell to the ground. he wanted to grab his broken arm but couldn't as his entire body wasn't responding. he couldn't lift nothing but his head as he spat up blood. his head was ringing and his vision was black. he tried moving over and over but it was useless. his body felt to be numb for a min because of adrenaline but soon that changed as severe pain was felt all over.
" recovery mist." he whispered just before he felt a hand wrap around his neck and his body being picked up off the ground.
"your body is weak. a person with great abilities and a fragile body is like contradictions to me. that punch only had fifteen percent of my natural strength which shouldn't have hurt you this much even if your demonic form disappeared just before I hit you. monsoon finally spoke to Damon.
Damon gradually forced his eyes open. they twitched and felt very heavy but he managed. with recovery mist active he was healing slowly.
"monsoon,the hell are you doing. monsoon looked at Damon for a second before letting his broken up body go. Damon hit the ground hard and yelped in pain. monsoon walked a few steps away before turning around facing him once again.
"teaching you respect. teaching you to stay humble. teaching you that no matter how strong you become, you must know when a person is far stronger than you. even though your stupid actions have had a huge positive impact on your growth and power you must learn when to back the fuck off and fight again another time. Monsoon shouts.
I'm fully aware that shields time with you is coming to an end so he won't be around to slap some sense into you when you're thinking of doing stupid things that will either get you killed or someone else. people who have been weak for a period of time tend to lose themselves once they obtain power. I don't want you thinking you can leave this place and take on the entire world like it's some type of game.
I'm not saying this because I care for you, I'm telling you this because I give a damn about myself and I suggest you start giving a damn as well. I don't know how it happened or why but our life is one. if you die there is no telling what will happen to me and I'll be damned if some child becomes the sole reason I disappear entirely." the aura around monsoon spiked as his will pressed upon the entire area.
Damon immediately felt like true death was upon him with monsoon's smothering lustful deadly aura. his mind was conflicted because everything was happening too fast for him. he didn't understand why monsoon was doing this. he thought it was just a sort of tough love lesson while testing his new skills but realized it was much more than that.
Damon's body trembled as he curled up in the fetal position. he didn't mean to do this it was more like his body moved instinctively on its own while his mind tried to fight monsoons will. it was useless his body would not respond to his mind In anyway.
"stop fighting my will and listen closely. monsoon said walking back releasing his will from Damon's mind. Damon's body had recovered a little more and continued bit by bit with recovery mist.
monsoon's eyes turned cloudy with a hint of silver inside them. you are a demon Damon and always have been since your birth. I've been with you since you were born, confined within your mind and body. now that you have come to terms with your demonic powers your life is at an even greater risk. you see we are threats to many and so many seek our kind out to destroy them. there are thousands of demons and just like a natural order within things their is an order with us as well. right now you are considered a peasant among true demons. nothing more than lunch.
I knew you were in trouble before hand when you encountered what you said was a beast. it was no beast Damon. it was a Demon by the name of Embryo which means development. he is a demon that feeds and powers himself through the development of others and this includes other demons. I've had the pleasure of facing him a few times in which each time ended with severe injuries to us both but we weren't able to kill each other.
I am one of many to have a face embryo. Demons strengths are labeled by tiers. embryo and myself are 2nd tiers. many demons goals are to climb the ranks. I sensed his presence and power when you encountered him. knowing your current power I knew you would be safe because of his condition. you see once a demon reaches the 5th tier's and above they develop conditions and in order to climb higher those conditions must be met."monsoon explained.
Damon was still battered up badly as he listened while laying on the ground. he was pissed and so many emotions were swelling up inside of him at the moment but he did his best to listen as recovery mist dampened the pain he was feeling.
"your demonic power is like a beacon to other demons if they are nearby. I'm not saying don't use them, hell you better use them and use them well. what I am saying is to be prepared to encounter others like yourself or pure demons like embryo. however their are humans that know of our existence as well. very powerful humans. their sole purpose is to hunt us down and eliminate us. think of it as a war going on in the background of the world. most people don't believe or know demons exist.
"you can consider what I'm doing as beating this information into you. I know how stubborn you are Damon. that stubbornness will either be your strength or your weakness. lately it's been your weakness but you have been lucky. well luck tends to run out eventually and before that happens I'll smack you around as hard and as much as I can to save us from your stubbornness. I feel your emotions and your thoughts so don't think I don't know how you think even right now you want to keep fighting but can't. while that is very admirable in certain situations it's just foolish."
Damon had finally recovered enough to move a bit. he forced himself on his butt and leaned against the canyon wall with tears in his eyes.
"Damon, with your ki affinity, my powers and Shields system. you can become something that is formidable to even 1st tier demons and above, and you must for there will be a time where this realm will need someone to fight for it and win.
Damon listened with clenched teeth. he heard monsoon loud and clear and yet his anger towards him because of the beating he received did not disappear completely but he decided to speak.
"so, how do I get my body stronger." he asked with a cracky voice.
hearing this monsoon eyes turned back to normal and his aura completely disappeared. Monsoon knew Damon was listening to him because he knew of his thoughts so Damon's first response to everything didn't surprise him. instead it was something he expected from Damon.
"he's not worried at all about what I've told him. he constantly looks for a way to develop himself. that type of courage and determination is priceless." monsoon thought to himself.
well through training of course, but within the system your physical durability will show up as vitality. it is also mental as well so nurture that stat and you should be fine." monsoon responded.
"can you see the system, you talk like you know a good bit about it. well it's a part of you and so am I so yea I know a few things as well.
Embryo, did I call him by using my demonic powers. no, your demonic powers haven't developed enough for other demons to see and feel it clearly. in fact your demonic aura will be tough for them to read because its make up isn't the same as a born demon. I don't know how or where he came from but last I heard he was confined to a planet and had been for a very long time. my guess is he's no longer confined and somehow is on planet syair."
Damon thought about embryo and its response when seeing his pure demonic ki attack calling it familiar. he then told monsoon of this.
"well it doesn't sound like he knew it was pure demonic energy because like I said it's make up is different so him looking at it as something familiar doesn't surprise me. you are to stay as far away from him as you can Damon. he will seek you out from time to time checking on your development but I will give you something that will help you fly under the radar for a while. it's something I learned coming in contact with that piece of shit so many times and it should make it extremely hard for him to find you. it worked for me and another demon I know that was a very good friend of mine.
Despite what you have heard all demons aren't bad. in fact we are just like any other race. some are bad and some aren't but unfortunately the good have to suffer with the bad. it's not easy being different and you of all people know that.
Hours passed as Damon's body was fully restored and he was now on his feet and monsoon was still flooding him with information about demons. his anger had settled down a lot and he was now in a better mood. they eventually walked back in the separate space inside the little lodge.
"you keep what you've learned close to your heart and never let it go." monsoon said as Damon grabbed the door knob of the second door to leave.
"so, you cheated me. next time that won't work monsoon." was the only thing he said before opening and walking into a bright light.
The door closed and monsoon smiled and laughed a little. "ha, so he caught that too in all my explanations. the fact that I can read his thoughts. he must figured out I had been reading his mind a little while fighting him and thinks he would have had a better chance if I couldn't." monsoon thought with a smile.
"forgive me, but I hope my little lesson sticks with you. you must know when to run and when to fight. I do care for you. hell I've been stuck with your ass for seventeen years now." monsoon thought before his image changed completely to that of an entirely different man with cloudy eyes.
