"It's not the biggest step but it's something, it's funny to about what will happen to once you begin sensing my true presence,because once you do the real training begins"
Shedoden says this as a sligh smile appears
As a blue flame ignites slightly in his right eye.
Two days pass
Shadow is seen performing fast punches against a seemingly nonexistent dummy,
His attacks become faster and faster but suddenly
His facial expression changes from focus to discomfort
"Damn it, it's gone again"
Shadow slows down his punches but,his than suddenly kicked in the gut sending away.
"WHEN DID I SAY YOU CAN STOP,YOU WILL NOW REPEAT THE WHOLE PROCESS FROM THE START"
Shadow's face twist in pain and anger
"WELL YOU CAN'T JUST KICK A GUY SO SUDDENLY YOU HYPOCRITICAL BASTARD!"
"IM NOT HYPOCRITICAL,YOUR JUST IM COMPONENT!"
Shadow than mutters to himself angrily
"It's not like that one moment of negligence with make a difference in anything"
Shedoden than appears in front of shadow and says with a stern tone
"As expected,you already want to give up,I mean i wouldn't blame for being so weak minded in this type of environment"
A menacing aura emits from Shedodens body,even though shadow couldn't sense it,his few years of experience in all forms of martial arts from his previous world helped him grasped the situation.
Defiantly he says
"Well don't you think I wouldn't be as weak if i have no real info about this world since you haven't allowed me to explore"
"And thats where all you feeble,simple minded idiots go wrong and die"
Shadow irritated says
"Trust me if you didn't restrict me this much i probably would've mastered by no–
Abrubtly he was kicked in the face across the grey concrete,not able to process what just happened as his eyes turn white,the air seemingly leaving his lungs.
Shedoden flashes above him and slams his foot harshly onto shadows face,crashing his body into the ground leaving a crater.
Heavily damaging his spiritual body
Blue essence shards float into the air as
Shedoden crouches next to shadow and with a cold and menacing voice.
"This is why I can't stand people like you,so confident in there abilities,
Grabs him by the hair
WHEN THEY CAN'T EVEN GRASP THE BASICS OF THE NEW WORLD!"
shadow bruised and wounded,defiant but weakly says
"What else am I am supposed to hold onto me–
Shedoden looks at him slightly confused but remains silent
Shadow tears up
"WHAT ELSE AM I SUPPOSE TO HOLD ONTO.I LOST MY HOME"
"MY RESOURCES"
IM SCARED AND I KNOW ANYTHING"
"I WANTED TO LIVE A PEACEFUL LIFE, BUT I COULDN'T EVEN DO THAT IN MY ORIGINAL WORLD"
"SO TELL ME SHEDODEN TELL ME.WHAT AM I SUPPOSE TO HOLD ONTO IN THIS HELL!"
Shadow pants and waits for Shedoden to respond but than.
Shedoden coldly and unmoved says
"You're life,your supposed to hold onto your life,as long as you can think,breathe and push on,nothing else matters
Shadow tries to argue
"WHATS–"
Shedoden cuts him off by slapping him across the face
"The point is as long as your alive,you can simply restart and about resources,there's an infinite supply of that everywhere,so i want you to think about it,why would I be mercilessly be training you.
"UGH UGHH"
Shadow couldn't form the words
Shedoden gently smiles as he sees a smaller version of him in the same situation
"Remember what you asked"
Shadows facial expression twist in shock and realization but than he calms down and thinks to himself
'Right how could I forget that I did ask,to improve in my mental strength and spiritual strength'
Shedoden let's him go as Shadow falls to his but
shadow began laughing histarically non stop.
"IM SUCH AN IDIOT
Shadow lets out another painful laugh.
Shedoden your even worse for not telling me earlier"
"Even if i did,you wouldn't learn anything.
"But did really have to beat my ass"
"It was necessary for your improvement"
Shadow slowly places himself in a meditative position,shedoden than thinks to himself
'Shadow even though,it seems you've learned from your actions,I can clearly see the lingering resentment,you have towards me'
'At first I thought once we got to this point,you'd either break or have deep anger towards me,causing you to emotionally derail and become a corrupted spirit but now seeing your condition,you've surprised me by livingup to your expected standard.
You do harbor as much hatred I thought you'd have but its controlled'
Shedoden smiles impressed
"What the hell are you smiling for you hypocritical bastard"
"Nothing that concerns you parasite"
"You little!–
Shadow stops and sighs in submission
"I not gonna even fight it,anyways"
Shadow than focuses as he meditates,blue orbs begin forming around him.
Shadow thinks to himself
"Essence sense revolves around mastering perception to the point you can see,the surrounding Essence particles."
"Essence absorption is the state of bringing the surrounding Essence into your being."
As shadow thinks this to himself the surrounding wind essence begin to gather around him
"Absorbing this feels so easy but I know the truth if I mess up even abit the backlash will be double and could possibly kill me but–"
surrounding blue orbs begun gravitating towards him as they enter his body
"Essence circulation is about moving around the absorbed essence in your body
Which feels as if my very spirit is burning,yet its soothing and essence stability is maintaining this flow
this is the true meaning of essence con–
Suddenly a surge of pain shoots through shadow as his eyes turn red,his body becomes pale and weak as he collapses to the ground,Shedoden quietly observers him and thinks.
'Well looks like he accidentally shifted to his human state,how unfortunate for him,i should help but he'll revive anyways,well I might as well act like a concerned teacher'
"SHADOW DON'T WORRY I'LL FETCH YOU FOOD AND WATER IMMEDIATELY"
Shedoden in his spirit form than starts jogging in search of food and water.
As Shadow feels his life fading,his body shutting down and rotting as the smell of metalic blood invades the air,he thinks to himself while dying
"THAT SON... Of a...bit–
Shadows consciousness fades away,he takes his last breath and dies for the second time
