Time Chamber In DxD

Chapter 39

The chair turned into rubble and the blonde lay groaning on top of it. All the tea was spilt on the table due to the sudden vibrations that caused the table to shake.

Sun Wukong watched the blonde's red aura fade with a tired gaze.

[Was I like this as well?]

Only a few minutes passed again and both man and monkey were sitting on the table again. Both were simply looking at each other in silence. While Igor would normally be angry, he was instead looking at Sun Wukong with a hint of admiration and respect.

His own strength that he was proud of, even under the boosted influence of the Kaioken, was crushed like paper.

It only served to make Igor curious how the old sage did that.

[I have to get him to show me how he amplified his strength with ki. Maybe if I attack him, I can see it in action-]

"Stop right there, kid. We don't even know each other's names and you're already itching for a fight."

"Oh..."

Igor chuckled with some embarrassment.

"Hehe, remember this well monkey sage. My name's Igor von Dimori, number one contender for the title of strongest in the universe. And you?"

Sun Wukong idly drummed the table with his finger while looking at the blonde. The silence stretched out but Igor did not seem embarrassed at all. In fact, he sat down quietly as well while waiting for the old sage to introduce himself.

But what Sun Wukong said wasn't an introduction.

"Such a lofty goal. But you won't reach it if you remain this much of an idiot."

Contrary to his usual actions, Igor didn't fly off the handle. He tilted his head in simple curiosity, wondering why the old sage said that.

Knowing the blonde was waiting for him to continue, Sun Wukong didn't hold back.

"You possess the time chamber artifact of the Aryans?"

While it was posed as a question, Igor knew it was rhetorical since Sun Wukong must've sensed it.

"Yep."

"You are an Aryan?"

"Not sure."

While the rhythm seemed cut off, Sun Wukong didn't pause.

"You possess the time chamber of the Aryans. So you are an Aryan."

But Igor's brows scrunched up in confusion.

"But aren't Aryans born ridiculously strong? I started off with the strength of a normal human, monkey sage. Saying I'm Aryan is the same as saying all this power I worked hard to earn came naturally."

Sun Wukong scrutinised the blonde for a bit before speaking.

"Who said Aryans are born powerful?"

Igor's eyes widened.

"Huh? You mean they're not?"

Appearing confused, Sun Wukong decided to enlighten the blonde a bit on the common misconception of Aryans.

"When Aryans are born, they are no stronger than a normal human baby. If they grow up in the mundane world, they won't exhibit any strength beyond the norm. The reason why there is such a misconception in the first place, is to reduce the chances of the offspring being kidnapped...especially by other humans."
