Gladius, The Sword God!

Leon looked around the place and said, 'System, I came here to meet the Sword God, where is he? '

'Come, Come to the waterfall'

Leon instantly got a reply, as the sage-like voice of the Sword God, Gladius resounded in his head, not the usual system voice he usually hears.

"Huh?" Leo was bewildered at first but still, he shrugged and did as the voice told him.

After walking for a while, he reached the spring river and the point where the water start falling from the place.

The spring is like never-ending water, yielding a large amount of water from a rock every second.

So Leon looked at the top of the waterfall but find nothing.

Not knowing if the Sword God is hearing his mind, he said within him, 'Sir Gladius, I can't spot you at the waterfall'

Just like before, the reply he got was an instant one, 'Don't look for me at the top, I'm right below...'

Leo nodded before imagining a hoverbike, like magic the hoverbike appeared and Leo rode it, using its futuristic, powerful jet and anti-gravity engine to drive down with the fall of water the waterfall while observing its beauty.

With an amazing display of acrobatics, Leon drove down, while at the same time observing the beauty of nature, peering down at the mesmerizing sight before him. The waterfall cascaded down the mountain, the water creating a roaring sound that filled his ears and vibrated through his body. He closed his eyes and listened, breathing in the crisp scent of fresh waterfall air and feeling the cool breeze on his face.

As he opened his eyes, his gaze was drawn to the sparkling droplets of water that danced in the sunlight, creating a rainbow of colors that seemed to fill the sky. He felt a sense of peaceful calm wash over him as he watched the water flow rhythmically over the rocks and into the pool below.

Leon felt a deep appreciation for the beauty and power of nature, and soon, after watching the mesmerizing sight of the waterfall, he reached the pool below, but then, he spotted no one.

"Fuck, Is the Sword God playing tricks on me!? But I thought Gods are known not to be mischievous" Leo muttered, clenching his fist with pure frustration.

'You blasphemous kid, I am right below the waterfall, fool!

A now angry voice was heard resounding in his head, making Leon's eyes widen with realization.

'Does he mean right under the waterfall, while would he choose such a place with the pressure of the water falling from up high? '

Nevertheless, Leon steeled his heart and drove the hoverbike close to the Waterfall.

But then, a huge volume of water with terrifying pressure splashed at him from above.

It was then, he noticed someone, the man sitting cross-legged, was meditating right below the waterfall with water splashing continuously and without stopping, from above.

Despite the water falling without pressure the man did not make the slightest sound or movement. If not for the fact that he looked human, Leon would have mistaken him for a statue.

Feeling nervous, Leon swallowed down a gulp, steeled his heart, and started walking through the waterfall amidst the intense pressure, that almost forced him on his knees.

A hint of a smile appeared on the face of the meditating God, though his eyes were closed, he had been observing Leon ever since the time he appeared in this place.

Leon was able to scale through, and now, he stood in front of the Sword God, the point where he stood and where the Sword God, Gladius meditated is the point where the water pressure is the highest, making things extra hard for Leon.

He looked at the Sword God for a second, observing his features.

He has a commanding presence, exuding an aura of power and confidence. He is tall and muscular, with sharp features and piercing eyes that were closed. His jet-black hair was long and tied back, with a few strands loose around their face. The Sword God's attire was simple but elegant, white robe adorned with intricate patterns, and a sword hanging at his side.

The Sword God emanates a sense of calm and focus, making him seem unapproachable and untouchable.

His robe was currently drenched with water, his eyes closed, though meditating, his aura was still as imposing as ever!

Before Leon could speak, Gladius gestured at him to meditate beside him...

Leo complied and sat cross-legged, meditating under pressure.

He meditated while trying his very best to ignore the roaring sound of water falling from above and splashing on them or the rocky floor around them.

After an unknown amount of time... Leon and Gladius could be seen, still meditating below the waterfall.

Leon's eyes could be seen twitching in irritation as he sneaked a peek at Gladius from your to time.

Why shouldn't he, he had been meditating for more than twelve hours in this place. Even the System agreed with him that the Sword God is going too far, but even with that, the System didn't force the Sword God to do its will.

[Host, I suggest you time dilate this place, as your time to visit the Adventurers Guild is five hours near, and it looks like you guys are not going to stop anytime soon]

'But will my mental fortitude be enough,'

[No, But I will help you]

Leon, at this point, sighed in relief. After experiencing mental pain for the first time when he tried to change this entire place to a city, he now dreads it. The pain was just too much, and Leon, at that time, felt that he would go crazy if it did not stop, luckily for him, it stopped before he could turn mad.

[Imagine the time of this place, being 30 days, being equal to one hour on the outside]

Though bewildered, Leon still did as the System told him, and then, a huge amount of energy was infused inside his body.

Even without asking, Leon already knew that it came from the System, but he did not know what to do with the energy.

Just as he was about to ask the system how he should use this energy, the entire energy disappeared into nothingness.

'What!? ' Leon almost screamed out in shock, but luckily for him, he was able to keep everything inside him.

'System, What happened? '

[Time in this place has been dilated to the point that, 30 days here is just one hour in the Outside world, Now you have at least 30 days to train with the Sword God.]

Leon did not know how to feel about this, but he knew that all this is a good thing, if he trained hard enough, he would be able to get an A-ranked license or even an S-ranked one.

But though he knew that the training would bring good results, Leon still couldn't help but be nervous.

After all, the person who would train him is a God!
