Kogetsu appears at the centre drenched in cold sweat
He clutches his heart panting
"My bodies screaming to move to dodge to do anything but..."
Kogetsu leaps into air as his bodies goes limp again
[System prompt]
[This is your 2 millionth attempt]
Kogetsu wakes up once more
"How the hell am I suppose yo perceive spirit bodies and astral bodies with my sight alone?"
"If i had my imaginary techniques this would be easier"
Kogetsu puases his expression calming
"...but i don't...that's why I need to learn"
Kogetsu closes his eyes
His white muscle fibers
His black bones vibrate
Kogetsu stays silent unmoving when a something of a while along with blue energy when through him
The whistle stops as Kogetsu snaps his eyes open
He immediately turns around
"There!"
Kogetsu's body goes limp again
His eyes open once more
"I felt it,i heard,now I just need to grasp it"
Kogetsu kept repeating this process
'This is what it means to be a master if time'
'Repeating countless cycles of torment and refinement until you grasp it'
'Pouring your soul and mind to understanding something that'd take others eons'
Kogetsu with his eyes shifts his body to left
Then ducks
Reailty seemingly flickers blue
Kogetsu's movement was minimal but efficient to a significant degree
Kogetsu continued shifting his body until his body went limp
He died again bit on his 2 million 500 hundred attempt
Kogetsu slowly opens his eyes
His eyes now shimmering blue
[System prompt]
[General Kogetsu your perception has advanced to tge spiritual level]
Kogetsu smiles only for a moment when it immediately fading replaced with terror as he sees Zenta's demonic like appearance with a sinister yet delighted smiles
Zenta raises his scythe and swings it down to cut Kogetsu's head
Kogetsu immediately ducks avoiding the deadly attack
He jumps back but Zenta immediately closes the gab delivering a kick to Kogetsu's right knee snapping it before Kogetsu could even register the pain Zenta spun his body
Readied his scythe before separating Kogetsu's head from his body with a swift horizontal slash
Kogetsu wakes up once more
"Noted his gotten faster but with the lack of his predictive movement"
"...though that doesn't change the fact he needs one clean hit on me to kill immediately"
Kogetsu's eyes glow blue once more
He side steps to the left avoiding Zenta's sudden attack from above
Zenta swung his scythe down before suddenly spinning
Kogetsu wide eyed jumps back
Zenta now seemed like a spinning disk
Abruptly Zenta zipped towards Kogetsu
Kogetsu jumps over him when his expression shifted from urgency to dread as he looks up only to see a scythe cleave him in two
Kogetsu wakes up once more
"The hell did he use a clone?"
"...no I would've noticed instead...was either of his attacks a set attack he made for the future meaning"
Kogetsu's expression goes cold
"He made me fall into his damn trap"
Kogetsu's expression became solemn
"But when I Think about it deeper"
"I can't imagine how long it took someone like Zenta do get to where he is now"
Kogetsu's expression shifts to seriousness as his irises flickered blue
Kogetsu's body tensed as he jumps over Zenta's lethal attack
'To complete this trial I'm going to need to improve my prediction skills to a level–'
Kogetsu is then met with a vertical slash
But he didn't waver instead Kogetsu conjured energy to his right hand forming a dagger and meets Zenta attack
"THAT WILL EVEN SURPASS ZENTA'S"
Zenta's attack was far superior but Kogetsu narrowly deflects it receiving a graze on his arm
Kogetsu jumps back when his expression shifted to urgency
He immediately uses his dagger to cut off his arm
A second later the arm became a plie of dust
Kogetsu stares at his lost arm for a moment before glaring at Zenta
Zenta with his scythe dripping black liquid with a tinge of crimson
Zenta slowly turns to Kogetsu when Kogetsu raised his dagger
In the same instance Zenta performed another vertical slash that Kogetsu narrowly deflects
But a moment later another Zenta appeared behind him using a horizontal slash that beheaded both Kogetsu and Zenta
Kogetsu wakes up again
He stood in place stun locked
Abruptly the pressure increased as Kogetsu's energy erupted
"I CAN'T TAKE–"
Before Kogetsu could start complaining he was hit with a bag of chips
Kogetsu's energy immediately vanishes flabbergasted
He turns around to see Milin and Kirasia entering the training area casually eating a bag of chips
"Can you not go nuts"
"You still need to train me after this Kogetsu"
Milin stays casually
Kogetsu takes the bag of chips
He stares at it for a moment
"Wait these are salted potato chips"
"Hexter told us"
Kogetsu imagines the floor mouth
"Huh so he really did look through me"
The two ladies stop in front of Kogetsu
Kirasia flicks his forhead
"Ouch!"
"What was–"
[System prompt]
[Your mental and emotional resistance has increased]
[Soul collapse crisis averted]
Kogetsu stares at the System prompt for a moment
"...Thanks"
"No problem twit"
Kogetsu is then irritated as he clenches his fist
"I AM NOT A TWIT"
Milin suddenly pulls Kogetsu towards her summoning a a long screw she seemingly deflects an attack
"Wait why hasn't Zenta stopped attacking?"
Kogetsu questions
Milin smiles while repeatedly reflecting invisible attacks
"Simple really when Zenta is in this state he doesn't really care who's there"
"If it prevents it from completing his task which is to kill you so he won't stop"
Kogetsu closes his eyes for a moment before his opened now seeing into the spiritual plains
He withness Milin casually blocking and deflecting Zenta's attacks with a smile
'Is she enjoying this'
Kogetsu jumps back as Zenta fully focuses his attention to Milin
Milin casually moves her body
She spins and twirls and at some point she even parried Zenta's attack before disarming him of his scythe
Milin spun him around before launching him across the dome
"Lucky for this is a time doll"
"Wait time doll?"
Milin glances back at him with realization in her jade like eyes
"Oh right I forgot to tell you but at some point in thw training Zenta switched with a doll to do his own business"
"Well the doll isn't using full power it's still on easy mode"
"Unfortunately i can barely beat the thing at full power unless i had you as my goo"
"Another thing being the doll may share Zenta's speed and strength but it doesn't have all of his abilities"
Kogetsu went silent his expression darkening then an abrupt laugh escaped his mouth
"AHAHAHHA ZENTA YOU BASTARD"
Kogetsu's energy erupts
"I'll prove to you why you shouldn't underestimate me"
"I may not be able to beat the doll but I will complete this trial"
Milin smiles while Kirasia huffs
Milin waves goodbye to Kogetsu as the two leave the dome
Zenta's doll gets up picking up it's scythe
Kogetsu glares at it with a penetrating gaze
Before the two charged towards each other
