26 Shamanism

We'd just come through the portal and finally made it to the underworld. But it was different from where I thought it would be. Indeed I had imagined this place as a dead place with no vegetation except that it was all the opposite. There is vegetation, lava streams to replace the water and a blazing sun. As I was looking around, Satan started talking to me.

"Astonished by what you see?"

"Not that I had imagined the place a little more dead, which is not conducive to the life of living beings, but it seems to me that it is the opposite."

"Yes, our habitat is not as bad as we think, the only negative thing is the air."

"Air?" I started to breathe and I didn't notice anything strange.

"This air is harmful to all beings who were not born in the underworld."

"What would happen if someone came without having the smell of hell."

"He would be hunted by all monsters."

Only for a smell so I tell him "Does this still have something to do with the Creator?"

Satan: nods "Yes, that is why we never go on a plane that does not belong to us, because we risk being chased away."

"Since you just said that we can stay in this place if we have the smell of a being from hell, does that mean that I won't be able to see my family anymore."

"Yes, you are now a being from the underworld but don't worry, you will be able to come back, but for that, you will have to become powerful enough so we can not detect that you are someone from Hell."

"How long? How long will it take me to be more powerful?"

Satan began to search in his head and said "Since you now have some of my powers and abilities that and you are something that has never been born before, it will take you about 1000 years."

"1,000 years? It's too much time."

"Maybe in Urdu but here if you stay 1000 years it will only be 50 years in Urdu and that's not much time - most living things would take several thousand years. Me: All right, but what does my training consist of?"

Author: My character is really going to spend 1000 years in hell and of course there will be leaps in time. Why am I doing this? Because in too many novels of cultivation the mc is in too much of a hurry and refuses to train for so long and I thought it was kinda bad.

"I will now explain to you what your training and your new way of becoming more powerful is all about."

"I am listening to you."

"Basically you should have become more powerful by opening the 8 doors that are in your body except that you had to have a human form for this."

"Does that mean I will have a human form?"

"No, you will not have a human form, but half a human form."

"Half-human? Can you explain all this to me?"

"Very simple, if you take on human form, you will still have your scales and tail. You'll never be a human being."

"It is better to have this body because I will be able to attack with my tail and my scales will protect me. Now how can I become more powerful?"

"I was about to come to this if you look at your body you now have a second heart and your inner world has changed. But that's not the most important thing."

"What is this more important thing?"

Satan showed my body "The tattoos that are on your body."

I was intrigued "Are these tattoos really useful? I thought it was just cosmetic."

Satan lifts his head high and said "No, these are my greatest pride."

"Your greatest pride?"

"Yes, in my life I have visited different worlds and I have seen many ways to become more powerful. Whether it's opening eight doors, growing qi or magic, and all kinds of other ways to become more powerful."

I was astonished by the information I had just received, I knew that there was a different world but that there were different ways of cultivating.

"When I visited them, I noticed that even though some cultivation methods made you more powerful, they all had a defect."

"It's normal if as you say these people were so powerful, it's normal that there is a flaw otherwise they would be invincible. But what's the latter?"

"All the attacks they used were launched by their own energy. So they couldn't fight for long because they were running out of energy too fast and that's when I found a small tribe that had achieved something that I thought was impossible."

"What did they do?"

"They could directly use the surrounding elements as energy."

"They must be powerful if they could do that."

"Unfortunately not, they were exterminated because the other peoples of this world thought they were too dangerous. Luckily by watching them I was able to create a way of growing that is identical to theirs. I named it Shamanism."

"What does this have to do with my tattoos?"

"Each tattoo represents an element that exists in the world, for example, disease, lightning. Unfortunately at the moment, you can only have one active, and only after you perform a specific action can you hope to try to activate your second tattoo."

"What should I do?"

"In your inner world there is now a chained urn right now it's open and each time you succeed in opening it you will have a new power."

"An urn and how do I open it?"

"I cannot help you, it will be up to you to find it. There your urn is already open by drinking from the water in it, you can feel the elements around you and tie one to your tattoo. "

So I closed my eyes and walked towards that Grimhold. This one was on the site of my old planet. I was expecting an ordinary urn except this one was really scary. Indeed it was a dark yellow color and was sprinkled with macabre patterns.

So I approached it to drink what was in it and was shocked by what I saw. Moldy corpses at the bottom of it. The water had turned black with all the dirt at the bottom.

Me: "It doesn't matter, it's just dirty water, yes, it is dirty water. "

So I started drinking this strange mixture. With extraordinary mental strength, I prevented myself from vomiting. Finally, I emptied the entire urn and once this was done, the urn was wrapped in chains and I found myself outside my mind. I started looking at my body and could see that the tattoo on the end of my tail was illuminated.

"Now that your first tattoo is activated, all you have to do is pick a surrounding element and choose it as your first power. "

My first power I must choose well then, I looked around and the only elements I saw were fire and earth. But suddenly I had a flash of genius, I started staring at the surrounding air. This was going to be my first power.

I look at the sky of the underworld and said"I choose the air of the underworld as my first power."

Suddenly a typhoon of air formed over my tail and rushed in. Strangely I felt no pain, it's probably because I'm a being from the underworld myself. My tail instead of being a rocky color had taken on a color that was between green and black.

"Interesting choice, can you explain to me why you chose that?"

"You told me that the air is toxic for all beings that do not come from the underworld. So it'll act as a poison. I think I'm going to focus on disease and poison control at the beginning because my opponent will get weaker and weaker the harder the fight gets so this is the best choice I could think of."

"All right, now that you are ready, I will leave you here for 1000 years and will only come back then. I hope you will be still alive."

"I will be. "

As always, he disappeared by taking a portal and I began to look at the burning plains.

"Me Bagir will become the master of disease and poison, my name will be Bagir the harbinger of Calamity."
