Solitary Sword Sovereign

"Well, this isn't emasculating at all. In fact, my balls feel 2 grams heavier."

Will sighed in frustration at this no warning teleportation. It was like being hit by a truck head-on only to wake up and realise you are dreaming. Will immediately surveyed his surroundings.

He was standing within a large greek like structure. Large thick pillars were everywhere, and went further than the eye could see, making it seem as if they were holding the skies themselves.

Warriors, mages and practitioners of all kinds could be seen standing about as if they were waiting for something. Suddenly, through a flow of intent, a flood of information was forced into Wills mind. This was even less pleasant than the teleportation and made him feel like he was being mind raped. Well, that's actually what happened to him...

"I see," said a relaxed Will as he took stock of the people around him.

"They are indeed the best of the best."

The information was split into parts. Why was he summoned? His skill set! Mission details along with the rewards that come with it were included. The final piece of information was that there was going to be a tournament, to decide the mission leaders and that everyone should recover by cultivating in that grand healing chamber as it was called.

Most people would need time to process this, but Will was already thinking about how cool he was going to look leading an army after being a badass at the tournament. Suddenly, from above, a jade talisman landed. In a room filled with bejewelled pillars and golden brilliance, this wasn't much, so no one noticed.

It was like it had teleported from mid-air. Will sensed it with Aqua Sense and took no action. Allowing it to fall into his little silver afro. He sensed a very familiar presence and hence allowed it to fall on him.

The talisman liquefied once it was deep in his hair and spread across his entire head like a membrane. Will's body absorbed the liquid and he was back to normal.

"I have low standards so I don't mind the nasty feeling but damn, why you gotta be like that to a brutha."

"You have no standards." replied the now visible Adelda.

Adelda stood there in full splendour. Wearing a skin-tight suit that accentuated her incredible curves coupled with a waste that needed, nay, demanded to be wrapped around!

Ah, how he had missed her. He had her perfectly stored in his memories but nothing beats reality.

"That coin talisman allows me to see what you see and talk to you. Only you can see me. Lord Modus fashioned it personally, so not even Hermes could and Hephaestus would be able to crack it."

Will nodded but his vision was fixated on her hips. Adelda was amused and disgusted. She was raised in a society that appreciates strength and talent. Will might be as weak as an ant to an immortal like her, but his potential...

Anyway, she found herself liking him more and more. Not to mention his grinding. Adelda had seen people practice but Will was a machine! In King Yama's Gate he had no martial arts manual, but used information he already had to form his own unorthodox style of fighting.

Will could only practice basic sword strokes, so he practised, again, and again, and again. Will kept healing himself when he was fatigued physically and hunting monsters for energy. But it was as if he knew no such thing as mental fatigue.

If one was to look at a dot on a piece of paper and be told only to concentrate on that dot, how long would one be able to do so? Concentration is an issue of the mind, not the senses, we get the same data, but we lose our ability to process this data over time. But Will didn't really seem to have this problem!

This was extremely weird! Immortals have incredible bodies but are still prone to mental issues because the brain would still keep its potential locked even as an immortal unless one does mental cultivation which is rare.

Will's ability to process information for long periods was amazing. It got so bad, even Adelda would tire out from mental fatigue just by watching Will. It sounded absurd, but watching him was incredibly draining. Confused, she asked Modus and he said, "Oh? It's his intent. It creates a field that naturally destabilizes energy, regardless of class or purity. That's one of the effects of Solitary Sword Sovereign intent within somene who has the chaos attribute. The boy doesn't even realize it, but he has something special, but it's not his hand, it's his head."

Adelda was always physically near watching, but sometimes, her Tafi and the others would take shifts. They were older and stronger than Adelda but the effects were still the same. Modus' staff, especially Tafi, were starting to really appreciate Will just before he left. His disturbance was once like a small ripple caused by a raindrop falling into a puddle. Now it was like an avalanche, rolling down everywhere. SSS intent caused so much interference that Modus had to actually step in.

Humans were simply too weak to feel anything. To them, they were no different from radio waves or neutrinos. So weak human's couldn't feel anything. According to system standards earth was at the bottom of the pyramid hence it was natural that it doesnt matter on earth, but in other places it does.

"It is because of this and a few more instructions that I was advised to follow you."

Will smiled and nodded. "So...like..." Will started looking a bit bashful and looked away from her eyes, "you look, you look.." Will started squirming like he was holding his urine in. She knew he had no experience with the opposite sex, and he was just a 15-year-old boy when they met. But he was now a battle-hardened veteran. Yet here he was being all cutesy

'Well, he can be a bit adorable.'

"You look hot as heck Hawt digggidy dang! Baby got back! Waiter! Bring me a fine ass booty, with a side plate of fine as hell yams. Nigga, damn!"

"How dare you say, wait why do you look like that?"

Will scrunched his face like he was disgusted by her body but there was no hiding the raging lust in his eyes.

"Do they not have black people where you're from?"
