Chapter 201: Hope.
The scene is silent for a few moments.
The next moment I give a bitter smile.
"Who would have thought that my arrival would cause so much drama"
Dracov remains silent.
I lower my head, getting lost in my thoughts.
"Well, it wasn't all bad, now that he is recovering it means that his true abilities will be able to resurface."
She raised her head to look up again as he continued speaking.
"The reason why in the past he had problems with managing large amounts of chakra was because a large part of his soul was unbalanced"
"Eh..." I'm a little dazed thinking.
'Of course, now everything would be right...'
"But now that he is still in the recovery process he will have to wait to be able to exploit these talents"
He frowned again.
"I haven't recovered yet?"
"Unfortunately not, but we are already close so he doesn't have to worry about that, if the issue still worries him then lower his training consistency"
"Why, is training harmful?"
"No, but maintaining balance in your soul is optimal for an improvement in the recovery process, training requires the use of the different energies of the body, therefore an emptying of the soul's energy is not optimal, although it is not harmful either. only delay the rehabilitation process"
"Does that mean I'll recover faster if I stop training?"
"Yes, in fact it would stop interrupting the pace of recovery"
At this moment several thoughts run through my head, several possibilities that could happen if I had my soul fully recovered.
"Isn't there a faster way to speed this up?"
The Butler looks thoughtful for a second and the next moment he speaks.
"There is actually a way to speed up all this but it is somewhat inconvenient"
"What's happening?"
"It could force your mind, body and spirit to forcibly calm down."
"Forcibly" I felt confused by his words for a few seconds but the next moment I realized what he meant.
"The relaxation potion?"
"Exactly, even if you took a degraded version of this, you would have certain drawbacks due to its very effects since if you want visible effects you will have to have proof of these"
I didn't need to think much to know what he meant, if I drink that potion then I will have to do it in large quantities because they are diluted(or drink from the bottle directly(undiluted)), that means I will be vulnerable most of the time Since my mind will be lost somewhere, that would be completely inconvenient if you look at it from a certain point.
Now that Dracov has brought up this point I get to thinking.
'This may not be bad at all, after all my limit that was at that of an elite ninja could be expanded, I will just be careful not to drink (the spring water) while I am on missions, after all my level right now surpasses that of most ninjas my age'
With this decision made I return from my thoughts.
"Looks like you've made up your mind," Dracov smiles.
"Of course, now I know what to do."
"That's good, I would like to talk to you more but the time is approaching"
I didn't need Drakov to know that.
"Yes..." I didn't have time to say more before everything disappeared from my sight.
...
Then like a suffocated breath I regained my sense of body.
I get out of bed remembering what happened in my inner world.
I stay for a while while I process everything I heard from the butler.
...
-Inside the inner world of Yubeng-
Drakov the butler is standing in the same place where he was standing before Yuu left, he is looking up at the sky thoughtfully.
Behind a dark shadow that he was perfectly camouflaged with the shadows, he slowly slides as if it were a liquid, this liquid of darkness begins to concentrate in a single point, he rises from the ground taking a humanoid shape.
When he finally condenses into a humanoid form he raises his head looking towards the butler.
The humanoid entity is covered by a long dark robe, only exposing the lower half of its face.
He smiles in a sinister and inexplicable way, maintaining that smile that, beyond what it seems, seems to show his thoughts.
Sombra then begins to walk forward, standing next to the butler.
"Do you also think that the dark sky is beautiful in its own way?"
The butler remains silent without responding, it even seems like he didn't hear it at all.
Shadow doesn't care about the lack of it, he just maintains his smile as part of his white teeth show.
"I wonder how long you can keep it up?"
The butler still does not answer.
Shadow begins to walk around Drakov's body looking at the butler's body without any restraint.
"I wonder how much longer that old body can take?"
The butler seems to react for the first time in the entire conversation, but in this one he does not pay attention to the dark-robed man who is looking at him invasively, but instead turns to see the castle getting lost in his thoughts again.
"Oh come on, are you really going to ignore me all the time? I remind you that time moves forward second by second"
tick tock tick tock
Shadow takes a very modern pocket watch out of his pocket.
"You don't have to worry about that" The butler breaks the silence with quite simple words.
Shadows seems to smile more sinisterly at this smile.
"Oh, really? Then why do I hear more disturbances lately, look at him, poor Yuu seems to feel the tremors getting stronger, I think one of these days he might come to this place furious, just look at him, when he recovers for "Your cognition block will not be omnipotent, do not underestimate him because of his behavior, I think he is someone very intelligent, trying to deceive him will not be good for you"
Dracov remains silent but his face becomes a little gloomy.
"But I could help you, you know, there is strength in numbers" Shadow points to himself dramatically.
"Don't forget that the guy is getting stronger and stronger" he says Shadow while pointing to the castle, more specifically to the basement of the castle.
"Although maybe you could free a few more to lighten the load but... I wonder how long you can do this, maybe you could delay it a bit"
Shadow turns dramatically in front of Dracov giving him a stare.
"What will you do? That weak body of yours won't stand it forever. One day everything will be plunged into chaos. I don't think that pervert is going to give you a hand. The imbecile in love is very weak and the frivolous disinterested person is the one who the less useful it is, clearly I am the best option, I will free him from the thoughts that uselessly bind him, he is clearly wasting his time there, I will help him overcome this!"
At this point his tone becomes more somber.
"If only I had a cooler head we wouldn't end up in this state! We would have controlled Naruko a long time ago! Satsuki would be ours!"
Shadow raises his arms exasperatedly.
"We wouldn't have to be running around like stupid people!! We would have a secure future while watching from the sidelines!! No one would stop us, don't you understand that controlling the greatest powers will ensure our survival?!!" He clenches his fist tightly but then lets his hands fall weakly.
"But you just stand on the sidelines watching everything happen, now thanks to that we are still imprisoned in this problematic village" A dark glow passes through Sombra's eyes.
"...Or is it that maybe you hope that the arrogant and conceited fool is going to help you in some way?"
It is at this point that Shadow falls silent.
The scene becomes faintly depressing as the spectators fall silent.
Then Dracov seems to finish thinking and closes his eyes.
When he opens them, his calm gaze falls on the shadow that is shorter than him.
"Don't think you don't want to do it to him, your attempts to hide your actions are pretty bad."
The butler's gaze turns dark.
Shadow smiles unaffected.
"Well, thanks to you no one has discovered me"
The butler is unfazed by how shameless Shadow is.
"It doesn't matter, things don't change at all, not while I'm here"
"That may be true but you are only one entity."
"Certainly I am just an entity but I trust that the young master will be powerful one day, your presence will only poison him and make him unable to unleash his potential."
"Ah? What the hell are you saying? I'm telling you that to date he has been close to death a couple of times, if it weren't for certain events he would already be dead."
"That's none of your business, he returns to your domain"
Shadow had a thousand more things to say but upon seeing the butler's look he gives up.
"Stupid butler, you will regret this, your incoherent and empty arguments beyond reason will take their toll on you one day." Shadow walks away with long strides.
'It doesn't matter, soon this place doesn't belong to you anymore, it's time for the new generation to take over stupid old man' Shadow smiles from ear to ear thinking about this.
'Arguments based on feelings that are attached to what is right do not last forever, everything must change at some point...' With this last thought Sombra leaves the place.
