Chapter 12: Chapter 12
Years have passed since Victor arrived in this unchanging and unforgiving land of shadows.
It has been 2 years since he conquered the heart of the queen of this lands, the immortal witch, the warrior queen, the only being to have reached a step beyond the the highest possible level of martial arts known as the grand master stage, naming it as highest master stage of martial arts.
Victor was eating what seemed like a porridge , from a large wooden bowl in front of him, with the help of a wooden spoon, 15 bowl's were stacked to his right on the table.
Opposite him sat Scáthach in a lovely rosey red sleep ware. She was eating along with him , having already stacked 16 empty wooden bowl's .
Scáthach spoke after carefully chewing the food in her mouth " So Vic what are the existence levels in the world of supernatural "
Victor Gulped down the food in his mouth quickly earning a spoon to the forehead.
He rubbed the spot between the eyebrow's as he replied " Aauuuu master! The spoon hit hard. Anyway the levels go like this, normal human < low level beings < mid leval beings < high level beings < ultimate level beings < minor god level beings < major god level beings like Thor the god of storm , Michael the angle of heaven...< god king level beings like Odin the all father, Zeus the one who shall receive my beating of highest honor , Anubis the god of death....< primordial god level beings like Ra the sun primordial,Nix the primordial of night, Paarvati the primordial of devotion and family < outer god level beings ( Gods who could shatter reality by just existing ) like Shiva the destroyer, Uranus the primordial... < the infinite dragon and the dragon of dreams ( dragon god class beings only two in the existing reality )
umm and then there is finaly....
< THE ONE
level existence ... The one that all gods fear, as you have stated. Ohooh i almost forgot normal humans can only rise up to mid level beings with some talent. "
" Umm good . There are sub levels to each existence level except the last one. Till ultimate level there are 6 sub level for each existence level. But from the minor god class onward there are 12 sub levels each. "
Scáthach continued in a teaching tone.
" Master there are martial arts level's as well right. Umm it went like this i suppose...
novice < beginner < intermediate < expert
There are three sub levels to each stage of proficiency. Well master is the only one at the highest master of martial arts, being the one to create that stage of martial arts. My master is truly the best."Victor stated.
" Umu praise this Scáthach more, maybe then i will punish you less for forgetting the levels in between existence levels. " Scáthach noded with a happy smile
"Tich tich! " Victor just clicked his tongue.
" Today is the day my student, when i finaly remove the seal i placed on you 7 years ago. You are already at minor god level rank 12. It's the highest physical achievement in history, Heracles doesn't count due to his divinity, and Bheem from the hindu pantheon as well for the same reason. This is the highest possible without hampering your elemental affinity and progress in the latter stages. You have also earned the rank of a master in the Spear arts, and expert rank in the heavy Lance art of the European era of wars ; as well as that eastern sword with a single edge and a slightly curved blade, i.e the Katana arts."
" Yeeeeeeesssssss!!! " Victor cheered while pumping his hand up in the air " I felt like something was restraining me ever since i reached minor god level . "

Scáthach pov
I was standing in front of Victor in the middle of a desert like land mass. We were both naked and a bowl of blood was in between us.
Looking up one could see a false blue sky. Yes I created a earth like dimension over the span of the past one year with the help of ruins. But I couldn't give it the 'Reality' of the Earth in such a short time so as the basis of this dimension I used primordial ruins giving it the much needed spark that could handle what is about to happen.
I bent down and picked up the bowl of blood from Jormangrand , it's not specifically needed but blood of any beings at or above major god level would have sufficed it's just my students luck that got to fight a rank 12 major god existence, while still being just minor god level rank 7.
I dipped my hand in that poisonous blood and then started drawing symbols of ancient origin with that blood all around Victor. As he stood there naked i worked on these symbols with meticulous care.
7 hours later i finished drawing on the ground with the blood.
The floor of the dimension was covered in writing of a strange language called
ꋬ꒒꓄ꏂꋊꉔ꒤ ꀘꋬꋊ꓄ꏂꀘ꒤.
The symbols were made to form a circular pattern with the perfect number of 10789 circles, all converging at the center where Victor stood.
I walked towards him and placed my hand on his chest. " Victor my... Student today i am removing this seal i placed on you " . I poked his forehead and a strange coagulation of ruins started flowing out of his forehead. The ꋬ꒒꓄ꏂꋊꉔ꒤ ꀘꋬꋊ꓄ꏂꀘ꒤ symbols i Drew on the floor glowed. ꋬ꒒꓄ꏂꋊꉔ꒤ ꀘꋬꋊ꓄ꏂꀘ꒤ the only language of power that could even hope to contend with the creation of the all father. " The seal i placed on you Vic was one that could even seal the dragon god of infinite for a short time frame. I had to do so for your training and why i used such a strong seal was due to your soul being... Umm?! " Victor lightly kissed me on the check and said " Master what you did was what you thought was right for the small me from back then ".
My eye's grew soft as i looked at those enchanting eye's of his. " Wake up quick. " Saying so i pushed the power of the ꋬ꒒꓄ꏂꋊꉔ꒤ ꀘꋬꋊ꓄ꏂꀘ꒤ symbols into the seal that showed its face at my poking earlier.
CRACK!
A single line appeared on the golden seal. As the ꋬ꒒꓄ꏂꋊꉔ꒤ ꀘꋬꋊ꓄ꏂꀘ꒤ symbols reached for that small opening, it was pushed back and dispersed into the air.
Crackle!
A small churning of lightning was heard and then the world grew white. From nowhere a bolt of blue lightning struck the seal on Victor's forhead. If i hadn't seen the past of Victor i would doubt whether this power of my disciple wanted him harm or wanted to simply surve him.
As i thought those things, Victor had raised to the air. And just like that moment in the forest i saw when i peered into the past, a bolt of blue lightning struck him then another struck and like that a hundred bolts turned to a thousand
Then to a million and then a billion, even then it continued the dimension cracked and shattered the dimension powered and protected by primordial ruins.
And for the first time since it's creation the weather changed in this never changing prison of mine, where i lived like a living dead, for millennia's innumerable. Lightning flashed in the gray sky of this lands illuminating this dull world.
A huge bolt of lightning came and struck me. I wasn't harmed, I could have moved away, but.... The instinct I developed through countless battles and life experiences throughout the incalculable millennias i have been alive ; told me that if at this moment i moved away then i would regret it for the rest of my immortal life. So i let the instincts that i trust most, that led me to victory in numerous occasions, to guide my actions this time as well. I stood there as nothing happened even after the lightning struck...
No.. Something changed.. An inexplicably emotion surged within me.
I had started wandering --- 'what next'. what would i do next after the training of my disciple Vic was over. Whould he leave these desolate land of shadows and venture outside just as a true warriors should and leave along with it this Scáthach to live in silence , like Sétanta and the rest who i have thought had left me?
