Everyone Else Has a System

Chapter 258 Training In The Neatherrealm

"Ah! I forgot to tell you, huh? Actually, the time flow here is different. 1 day here is actually 1 hour outside, also we are going to stay here for 4 months utilising all the time we can… just that your initial training lasts for 3 months."

"Huh? Wait a second! Doesn't that mean we can train here for years and it will be only a month on planet Vermillion?" spoke Reeve as he connected the dots, but before anyone can entertain that idea, Theia spoke,

"You can train for as long as you want, dear, but your soul has already started merging with the Netherrealm. 4 months is kind of a stretch, even with my powers, the most I can give you is 3 months here after that if you don't leave, I don't think you can ever leave from here…. Though you could be an exception, like a certain someone." Theia gave me a strange look before she asked,"did you figure out the reason for your strange constitution or is the search still on going?"

I pondered a little before speaking,"yeah kind of did. It was quite something… and I feel like I know about your origin as well… probably-"

"TELL ME!!!" With a really intent expression, Theia appeared in front of me as if she would kill me if I didn't answer her. I could only smile a little before speaking,

"Train them. I will tell you after you make them strong enough to overtake the previous me."

For the first few seconds, she was angry, but then… she was taken aback before she spoke.

"Are you crazy?! You want me to make them that strong in just mere 3 months? I'm sorry but I could only promise so much… what you are asking is too much, even for me." "Trust me, it is not that hard. They both have Systems related to Darkness plus this place is perfect for them to train. I had to start from scratch without any help, but they already have a road ahead in front of them. All they need is to learn how to walk on it without stumbling. Just try it," she looked at me for a few seconds intently before turning to look at Reeve and Rheo.

She closed her eyes and appeared right in front of them before touching their heads and checked their power levels. Then she sighed before speaking,"I don't know what you see in them, but okay… I will try my best. As for that information, let's hear it when you want to tell me."

She spoke before she vanished along with Reeve, Rheo, and Linda. Well, I guess I am lucky that I won't need to worry about their training now since I trust Theia can help them out properly.

As for Lucas and William… The reason I brought them here wasn't exactly to get strong but to use them as a defence mechanism so that Reeve and the others can train, but now it doesn't seem like they are needed as much.

"Cristine, you received Theia's blessing, right? The one that gives you protection from the Death Energy here?" I asked, and she nodded at me before I spoke out again.

"Then it's about time you get to work as well. I need you to polish your skills as an assassin."

Hearing my words, she got confused at what exactly assassination has to do with all this.

"You see these two Romaninans? These blue colored monsters," I pointed at them and she nodded before I continued,

"Hear their story. It seems interesting. Then I need you to escort them back to their land, then take a request from Queen Envy, earn her trust, and then start killing Wrath's men. There are a few things you need to be cautious of,

One, is that even if you kill them, they will come back to life in 24 hours and by the end of the three months, I need you to kill an entire nation by yourself.

Two, each of those monsters are from SS rank to S7 Rank max. So killing them on your own will be impossible…. For that, use Lucas' power coated on your weapon. How you do that depends upon you. A good coating can kill an S6 Royal Guard with a single slash.

Three, you can die here… however, with the Blessing of Theia, you will be saved moments before you die, so don't worry about dying. However, the pain of dying will still be there. Also, she can save you once every 24 hours only, so be mindful of that as well. Also, Lucas and William will be there if things get worse, but they won't be helping you.

Four, there is more than one way of doing this, so I would like you to think outside the box as well.

Five, I will reward you depending upon your efforts in the end and if you can kill the entire nation before 3 months ends… I will give you a reward that you will remember till the end of your life.

Do you have any more questions?"

"What is my work here?" William was the one asking that and I spoke,"same as Lucas. Protect her and help with the coating. The reason I wanted you on this journey wasn't because I needed you here, but somewhere else. This journey is a month long, planet Vermillion's time, of course."

He looked at me intently before nodding as he muttered,"it better be worth it," and I nodded as I spoke,"it surely will." There was a grin on my face as I looked at him before Cristine asked me,"how can I communicate with them? I don't even know their language." "Try talking to them for a while and you will understand," I said as I looked at her before turning around to see where we were,"we are at the Steven Gate Forest by the way."

"Themis, you can join them to watch the show. Help them only if they are in deep shit, okay?" I spoke to Themis, the Luna Goddess who was observing the place with great curiosity. She turned at me, nodded for a few moments before turning to Lucas and others.

And then I vanished from there without speaking anything more.
