Chapter 292
"No, no and NO! This isn’t a circus, use your shadow clone first then you attack next, use a feint then send the clone made from the Dark Cloud . You need to distract those stronger than you, even a person with a high concentration will always be startled when three of you appear . "
The copy exclaimed as he held his temples in disappointment . Arthur, who was fighting whitey inside the ARK, tried his best to follow the instructions he was given but no matter how much he tried, how flawless his combat ability became, it never satisfied his copy .
The copy actually became angrier the better he became and it truly frustrated him yet he never retorted, he knew what’s best for him and he could never wish for a better teacher .
With the time slower inside the ARK, high regeneration and all his skills available thanks to his copy, he was able to display his full potential but the enemies that are appearing are monstrous in both offense and defense .
"What use is there for your eyes if you don’t use them? Don’t freeze time when the enemy is attacking, do it after you land a blow so that you can kill the foe when his or her body is destabilized from the shock of the first blow . "
Although he taught Arthur every kind of tactic, how to use his powerful skills, when to use them and how to escape fatal attack from hostile parties, the copy never, even for a second, told Arthur to use the sword or instructed him to train with Makaze .
With all the memories he got along with the Dark Blade’s Oath, there’s nothing that can be taught . Makaze will leave its sheath when the enemy is worthy and needs to be killed otherwise Arthur needs to find another way to defeat his enemies .
"Enough with your flashy moves, Dark Magic is suited for assassins and not clowns! I need you to kill your enemies before they realize your presence if possible and if you’ve been found out then use the least bit of time to slit their throat or cut their head! Teleporting is useful but easily predictable, powerful skills that take time to execute are only meant for a big herd of enemies, not a single target, use your brains for god’s sake! All your Intelligence for nothing, ahhh! I bet Saly would’ve done much better in less time . "
. . . . .
After what seemed to be an eternity, Arthur left the ARK after his copy was fully satisfied . His body didn’t feel sluggish or heavy even after sitting deep in that dark abyss for such a long time .
"A week to reach Spirit Realm, three months to reach the Immortal Realm and Sixty years to Reach Godhood, I’ve achieved a new miracle!"
Hearing his copy proudly talk like that, Arthur clicked his tongue and retorted
"You mean I achieved it, not you . "
"Well, it was per my orders and if not for spending even more time training your ass, It wouldn’t have taken so long . "
More than a hundred years passed inside the ARK, thanks to the copy’s partial control over the mysterious cube, he managed to significantly slow the time inside even when in Recovery mode, which helped Arthur cultivate quietly and hone his control and skills .
Not once in one-hundred and ninety-five years did he use a sword . It was a long period of time but for him, it didn’t seem that long since it was spent training every second of those two centuries . He missed his wife so much yet he held himself, not wanting to rush things as he did in the past .
His hair has grown so long and his body was covered in dust like an ancient statue that wasn’t cleaned for a millennium . Two corpses laid before him, one belonged to the Azure Dragon, which was reduced to a meat paste and the other was of the White Tiger . Its large head was laying next to it, the blood had dried and the stench had long since vanished, leaving nothing but two lifeless bodies accumulating dust over the years .
"Five years and one month to ascend to Godhood, you should be proud . "
The Copy glanced at the date the map was showing and realized how much time passed outside . It was nothing compared to how much time they passed in that endless white space .
"Proud to leave my wife and daughter alone for five years?"
Arthur’s retort left his copy speechless, he kept his silence and simply watched from within the ARK, no longer spouting useless remarks .
After spending countless hours listening to his copy’s teachings, Arthur knew better than possessing the two bodies in his current state . He made a full recovery and even became unbelievably strong but he shouldn’t carelessly possess powerful entities like there’s no tomorrow . It’s fine to possess anyone below a Sovereign but if it’s something like a Divine Beast, albeit a copy, they should be possessed when he’s going to break through to the next Realm or Grade, the effect will be better .
Furthermore, he learned a new ability thanks to his training, it allows him to possess corpses or beings without automatically gaining their stats, meaning he can possess the tiger and gain its techniques without burdening his physical body with stats .
Speaking of stats, Arthur took a deep breath and fixed Makaze on his waist then opened his status Window after five whole years .

*****
Arthur contemplated his stats for a while before he closed the status window and focused on the tiger’s headless body . Countless invisible soft threads came out of his fingers as he controlled them and skillfully attached the tiger’s head into its body, perfectly fixing it .
"It’s a perfect body to fight with, even better than the Silver Wolf . Though even without it, I doubt any Sovereign could injure you, even a God Monarch would have a hard time . "
Arthur collected both bodies of the Divine Beasts and ripped the space, appearing a long distance away . With blue sky above and a calm ocean below, he was gazing at an area with dense fog covering it, some kind of illusion barrier was several meters in front of him, blocking his path .
As the copy gazed at the dense fog and the restless ocean in that area, he sighed and said
"Westia Continent, ahhh what a nostalgic place!"
