*A FEW DAYS LATER*
On that day, the old man who defeated Aldrich earlier was cooking outside the hut. Aldrich who was inside the hut... Woke up.
Wuuung!!!
"Hahh! hah! Haah!" said Aldrich who seemed to have just had a nightmare.
The old man who had sensitive senses as a swordsman also heard Aldrich's gasping voice.
Ngiiitttttt!!!! (Sound of door opening)
"Yo you're awake boy!" The old man said.
"Why are you in- Erghhh Aarrrghhh!!!!!" Aldrich who was still in a state of adapting to the power of Jormungand was still sensitive because his senses had reached a level that was impossible for humans or even monsters of any kind to reach!!! The level where his senses reach the level of a Jormungan or God, his senses are able to feel, hear, see and smell something even from another dimension or what is more appropriately called Aldrich's original dimension where Aldrich's physical body is still in a state of meditation.
"Hohoh it looks like you are still a beginner in this matter, try to control your willpower a little. with the will to gain new knowledge it will make you feel, see and smell what you shouldn't feel, see and smell." said the old man giving advice.
Aldrich who heard the old man's advice began to empty his mind and began to focus his mind on one thing, namely Killing the Gods!!!.
*hoho it turns out that this boy is not bad either, he can control his will that much* in the old man's heart.
"Haahhh!!!..haahhhh!!..." Aldrich gasped.
"How? How does it feel to be on the level of the gods!!!" the old man asked happily.
"Great, it feels like .... I can do whatever I want" said Aldrich.
"Hahaha!!! You're very interesting!, but can you calm down your overflowing magic energy first. It's scaring and killing the monsters around here anyway" said the old man.
"Hm!" Fwooosshhh!!! (the sound of Aldrich's aura that keeps coming out endlessly like boundless energy) *Well, like this I have to remember huh? (in Aldrich's heart while gradually holding back the overflow of his magic energy.
"Old man"
"Hmm? What's wrong? Do you want to get out of here? I can help you. Then get ready I'll prepare-"
"No need....for now there is no need" said Aldrich looking at the Dark.
"What do you mean? Come on, at least it won't take long" said the old man.
"I challenge you to a duel, old man!" said Aldrich.
"Huh?" The old man was confused.
*AFTER SOME TIME*
"Are you really serious about this? Young man?" the old man asked.
"Sure, I'm here to try out some of Jormungand's powers as well as defeat you" said Aldrich confidently.
"What do you mean, I'm clearly not the equal of that legendary creature, am I?" said the old man.
"No need to dodge. I who have gained the Power of a god can already feel. you will at least be a worthy adversary when fighting a god." said aldrich.
"Hehhhh then what can you do" the old man's voice was a little sluggish but it was getting higher and higher "IF THEN LET'S SEE YOUR DEVELOPMENT KID!!!!" said the old man in the condition of releasing all the magic energy in his body which made him seem to be enveloped by a golden aura that burned up to the sky.
"Heheh that's good" said Aldrich who began to release his magic energy as well. *Fwooshhh!!!
"In that case, I'll come to you!!!" said the old man lunging at aldrich with the same speed as the previous duel.
BUT!!...
Clankk!!!!
His sword began to be held back by his own willpower. and began to ask "Where's your sword boy?"
"Hmp" smirked, "looks like you're not as barbaric as I thought" Aldrich said as if testing the old man. "Well then-
" ``Come out!`` !" Aldrich ordered.
AFTER THE COMMAND WAS SAID, AN ENERGY BEGAN TO SURROUND ALDRICH!. AND SOMETHING GRABBED ALDRICH'S RIGHT HAND AND THE ENERGY THAT HELD ALDRICH'S RIGHT HAND TIGHTLY BEGAN TO LOSE ITS FAINT FORM AND BEGAN TO TAKE THE SHAPE OF A SWORD!!. YES A SWORD, A SWORD WITH A SILVER BLADE, HAD A BIT OF JET BLACK MAGIC ENERGY THAT ENVELOPED THE SWORD!!.
"Right, this is the embodiment and image of Jormungand in my command!" said Aldrich.
"hohoho Interesting too" said the old man while being a little frightened by the sight of the Black Energy.
"If so-" Swosh!! he accelerated towards aldrich BUT!!!...
" ``Slash!`` !" Aldrich said while swinging his sword from where he stood with the aim of slashing the old man.
BUT! THERE!
Srink!!! Grusskkhh!!!
suddenly in an instant, the old man who was just a little bit away stabbed Aldrich with his sword. Cut!!!
"BRGH! bruakh! Eghb agh!" the old man's body was badly injured from the slash.
"No way, you're not even within striking distance yet! How could this happen?!" said the old man.
* Heeh* Aldrich grinned. "Easy, because I don't care any reason," Aldrich said.
"W-what's your make?! There's no way there is such an object in this world!" said the old man
"Kekek, it seems like this is your level, huh? Old man," said Aldrich, who grinned.
"Y-yoi Jerk !!!!!!!!!" Fwosh !! *The old man lunged at full speed that is Move Between Space and time with Zero Time, but !!!!.
SRUKKHH !!!.
In the end, Aldrich's still killed the old man easily and even exceeded the speed of the old man.
"Looks like this is your level, huh? Old man, even you don't deserve to make me use 100 percent of the power of ." Aldrich said.
"y-You are a bastard boy !!" The old man said in a dying condition still trying to reach Aldrich.
"Khekek is there, kill him! !" In the instant the old man was stabbed by the sword even the speed of movement like Instant teleportation !!
"Hmmm, as expected, really killed this old man to the stage of the story," Aldrich said.
"But, in the end I could not use at least 10% of the power of yes," said Aldrich sighed.
"Well, that's all my journey is still far away, then` `cross it !! Aldrich said, thinking to see the news of Diva in the world there.
And ..... Swuuuttttthhh !!!
