16 Grandfather

As I am exploring my new training area where I will be spending most of my time most likely I hear.

"Hello Sentan. You asked about me?" I look around and I find no one.

"Who's there?" No reply. What was that? Who spoke just then? I have to stay on guard. I release me strong energy and it comes out in pulsating waves, I limited it so it wouldn't reach outside the walls though no need to alert unneeded people.

"What a messy Fighting Aura, but it is strong. You surprise me Young Sentan. I didn't expect you to reach the Divine Combatant stage at age 4, your father reached it at age 40 and is barely on the third stage, Sage, and your mother a little later but at the same stage as your father. Some monstrosity you are."

I keep my guard and my strong energy keeps pulsating but I still don't feel a presence anywhere around me.

I reply "Thanks for the compliments and insults but I still don't know who to thank."

"Ah! I forgot to not conceal myself." Just then a young man around the age of 22 appears out of nowhere right in front of my face. This young man has dark blue eyes with red parts leaking through. His Jet black hair has some white streaks running through it. He has horns that look like ram horns because they come out from the sides of his forehead and curve back and come around to the front, I'd say they were three feet long.

He is muscular and when he came out my strong energy didn't radiate out anymore. What happened to my energy? "How odd your horn are tiny and light shaded and yet you are stronger than I was at your age. How peculiar. Ah! Are your horns retractable young one?"

I reply involuntarily because of this sudden mention "How did you..." Sadly I only caught myself at the end.

"Ah no wonders, Retractable Horned Demons are true monstrosities but they seem weak at first because their horns are short when they are young and only extend when they turn ten of course it is only a perception, strange types indeed. But you are the first to ever reach Divine Combatant stage so young, and that, young Sentan, is even stranger."

I probably shouldn't tell him I got it from a book. He stares silently at me for a while before I interrupt "Are you going to tell me who you are or not?"

He has a look of surprise on his face "Ah! I'm sorry I was lost in thought, I am Zarciah Zheng Zavron or The Triple Z menace as I am known for outside our land. I am your grandfather."

Oh this guy is my grandfather "But you look so young." He burst out laughing "Ha Ha Ha, Did you forget the stronger a demon is the longer they live and longer they look younger, But once you reach the Divine Combatant stage you stop aging altogether, except if you are underaged. You're lucky, imagine having to stay with the appearance of a four year old for hundreds of years, hahaha!"

Divine Combatants can freely adjust the age they look the limit being the age they turned into a Combatant as the youngest. Demons are luckier than some races because we look young for a long period of time. Ha ha ha ha!"

Oh first time I heard of this it would be awesome if I could adjust my age "How do you adjust your age?" He looks at me and is all smiles, "Think of an age and apply some magic." My face turns solemn and I see him frown, "What's wrong?" I decide to tell him about a certain problem he is my grandfather and has found out about me already, "I can't use magic until I turn ten." I look him in the face and see him frown even more, "What are you talking about? Demons are highly attuned to magic you should have been able to use it since you were born and no other Retractable Horned Demon I have heard of had this problem." Hmm... Should I tell him? Why not I'll let on if only a little. I won't ever speak of the game though. "I have Godly Affinity and that restricted my usage of magic until I turn ten."

"Ehh!" I see his face distort in confusion. "You have Godly Affinity! The ability that allows you to use magic as if it were second nature after a short amount of training! This ability allows you to naturally absorb Divine Power directly from the Celestial Realm! No Demon has had this ability for thousands of years. Your potential is unlimited, Let me see your Status Card!"

What the fuck! This ability was Fantasy quality but what's with this reaction? Celestial Realm? The hell is that? Absorb Divine Power? How? My status card? First I don't know what that is and I sure as hell wouldn't show it to him. "No!" Why did he ask for stats? Is that like what I can see? So it isn't just players that could see them?

He steps back in surprise from my sudden yell. He visibly calms down. "Right, I'm sorry. You probably don't even know how to show me and your smart for not showing me a Combatants most valuable secret. I understand, I will train you once every month for a week. Let's begin with a spar."

What?! Most valuable secret? Train me? Every time this man speaks I am left with more questions. Before I can even reply he lunges at me. It is a speed so fast I can barely react. I sidestep widely and dodge a punch aimed at my face. He then twist and back kicks me in the chest and I am sent flying into the wall. My momentum is abruptly stopped and I fall from the wall which isn't even scratched, what's it made of? I'll leave that for another time. I see a -3750 hp screen. I actually lost a lot of health. He actually hit me hard enough to send me flying into the wall on the other side of the room. It's on gramps.

I lunge at him and the whistling air follows me. I appear in front of him and a throw one of my New Style punches and I see a bit of surprise on his face. He dodges it by a hair, almost had him.

He then backhands me and I am sent flying to another wall but this time even harder -12,798. What the hell? He took more than 80% of my health with two blows? Survival kicks in and half my health is back.

I stand up again I am pissed off this bastard is playing with me! My eyes turn red with rage. I hear a ding but I ignore it. This time I have to use everything I have. Demon Berserkers Rage activates for some reason and I grow to be past the height I would be when I grow up. I am 8 feet now. My horns extend to three feet from my forehead and curve upwards in a satanic kind of way and turn an abyssal black. My body heats up and I start seeing my hot breath. My tail extends to 4 feet and hardens and sways behind me. My muscles ripple and my towel explodes into nonexistence. My skin starts turning black and I could feel my hair lengthening, the bangs reached my eyes and I could see it turning white and a red glow was reflecting off of it probably from my eyes. My nails were extending and sharpening themselves to a point. My whole body turns black and my consciousness fades away.

Triple Z's P.O.V

I watch as my grandson visibly change into a Berserker demon. These things are only heard of in legends! Out of my 10,000 years alive its my first time seeing one. My grandson is really a true monstrosity.

He has completed his change and now has the appearance that strikes fear into others. One thing about berserker demons is their temper, the can't control it very well. Here we are just sparing and he goes off like if I killed all his pets or something.

I feel a small shiver and his messy Fighting aura comes back but stronger. I was suppressing it until now, his aura must be past the 40,000 range for me to not be able to suppress it anymore. He is as strong as a peak stage Saint level combatant.

His gaze has turned predatory, he has lost consciousness. It's his instincts driving him now. This will be a little annoying. I intended to drive him to the point of death but I didn't expect him to have such a huge reaction to it, he is still just a 4 year old though.

Thanks to me being a fifth stage combatant, a Pre-Demigod, I don't have to worry much about him killing me. In terms of power I am hundreds of thousands times stronger than him. Let's just say I am not in any real danger.

He lunges at me again, the air around him swirling and then silence. He reaches me and a shockwave hits me. He is faster than sound! Impossible for a Saint level combatant! He throws a punch and I still dodge it but it was harder than last time.

I tighten my fist and hit him harder than before. Don't die kid. I hit him squarely on the chin and he goes flying upwards, not before he's tail smacks me on my chin using all his strength and some of mine it causes me to do a backflip and land on the back of my head, I hardened my horns and it took the impact. That was a strong hit. I get up up quickly with a jump. I see him landing from the air. All this took just a split second.

He's got good battle instincts. I lunge at him this time also breaking the speed of sound and going way past that. Then I used the sound wave behind me and concentrated it to my fist. It hit his face a lot harder than before with a small amount of divine secrets inside of it. My fist connected and it was silent for a split second and then sound caught up. It followed the trajectory of my fist and shook his head violently and sent him crashing into the wall he first hit. He got up again and I could see him panting heavily. He hasn't put a scratch on me yet but I am glad he took my sonic punch..

He disappears. Simply vanishes from right in front of me. Now that is an interesting technique. I use Fighting Aura and it becomes a visible sphere that surrounds all of me. I push it out slowly. I add more Fighting Aura into it and it changes color to green. I then use my understanding in a divine style and wind starts swirling around extremely fast inside the sphere.

It shoots out a full blast of wind that contains my fighting aura inside of it omnidirectionally. I sense it hit him and I hear a bang. I turn and find him plastered on the wall. He falls back down. He tries to get up but I create a strong wind force that keeps him rooted there.

I condense my magic and fighting aura into my foot and it turns slightly black then I add some of the divine style into it, creating a green glow. I kick his stomach with half my strength and he is winded and hovers in the air for a while before his body loses consciousness.

I watch as he slowly turns back into the cute little 4 year old boy on the ground unconscious. How did my son ever create such a monstrously gifted demon like Sentan. I will enjoy training him. I pick him up and walk up the staircase into the master bedroom of his house.

It is dark outside. I dump him on his gigantic soft bed at the other side of the room. Why does Sentan have a harem bed? You could fit 24 people on this bed easily. This roomhouse is magically attuned to its owner and bloodbound, it is built specifically for that owner magically over a few seconds. On the way over I ran into a few strange things, in the bath area their were strange things all over in there that I have never seen before but that doesn't matter the world is full of strange things. I turn and use my Divine Style as a Wind Specialty Combatant and become the wind. Disappearing from regular view all together.

A gentle breeze goes through Sentan's Room naturally before it exits through the front door.
