Chapter 800 Pocket Dimension
"Ohhh granny is worried about that huh?" Shiro said as Kalus stifled a laugh.
"If she heard you call her granny I don’t know if she’ll be happy or annoyed haha." Kalus laughed as Shiro tilted her head.
"Why?"
"She doesn’t like to be called granny. However, since you’re her grandchild, I’m sure she wouldn’t mind." Kalus replied as Shiro shrugged.
"We can ask her later. So she wanted to know why I have divine energy right? Well after meeting Hades and doing the god trials, I managed to ascend into the status of Demigod. If I want, I can activate my skill to become a Demigod now." Shiro said as Kalus shook his head.
"It’s fine I can believe it seeing as though you have three energies in your body. But let me ask this, why do you not use the second energy or the third one often? You can tap into them you know?" Kalus asked as Shiro sighed.
"Well for the second one, I was only able to use it after I lost my mana in a quest. It’s a bit annoying to use so I haven’t used it often. For the third, I thought I couldn’t use it unless I was in Demigod form." Shiro frowned.
"Of course you can use it. It’s not limited to just your form. It’s like saying you suddenly can’t swing a sword when you learn a spell. Just because you got a form with it, doesn’t mean you can’t use divine energy unless you are in that form. As you can see, I’m using Divine Energy right now but I’m not in a Demi God form." Kalus explained as he waved his hand.
Suddenly, a swirl of energy wrapped around his hand as Shiro raised her eyebrow.
"You’re a Demi God gramps?" Shiro asked as Kalus shook his head.
"I’m not that lucky. Since we work rather closely with Hades, we get a few benefits. One of them is that we’re allowed to use a certain amount of Divine Energy. Hence why it’s rather confusing to see that you don’t use it since it’s one of your main tools." Kalus shrugged.
"How do you know I don’t use it though?" Shior asked.
"I can see some of your energy channels." Kalus smiled as he pointed to his red eyes.
"As reapers, we can see both energy and souls. Naturally, I can see that you use mana more often than you use the second or third energy. How about gramps teach you a trick or two so that you can make the most out of your energy." Kalus smiled as Shiro’s eyes seemed to shine with excitement.
"Sure!"
Seeing this, Kalus couldn’t help but grin as the two started to discuss some plans while Nimue sighed and face palmed.
Seeing their expressions, it reminded her of seeing two scheming foxes, one big and one small. She could already feel a headache coming as she ran out of things to throw in the mana realm. Unfortunately, throwing islands was rather difficult so she couldn’t live her dream of throwing islands just yet.
Suddenly, she felt a pat on her back as she glanced back and saw Iziuel looking at her with an apologetic smile.
"Like you said to Shiro, take this moment to just relax for now and take your mind off things. After you take a break, throwing tables should be rather enjoyable again." Iziuel chuckled as Nimue rolled her eyes.
"Thank you for your gracious advice." Nimue said but there was a small smile on her face.
"Mum said that we’re going to stay for around a week so maybe I can try to get used to the new energy in a week." Shiro said as Kalus shook his head.
"When she says a week, she means several months. You know, since we work rather close with Hades, we have special pocket dimensions where time moves a little faster. Normally, it’s used to interrogate souls but we can use it for training." Kalus smiled as Shiro nodded her head.
"Shall we tell mum then?" Shiro asked.
"Of course. I also need to ask your grandma if we can use the pocket dimension since we’re interrogating a few people right now." Kalus nodded his head.
"Oh? Who are you interrogating?" Shiro asked curiously.
"Just some betrayers of gods in the dungeons. They violated a few rules and made pacts with a few of the evil factions. Our roles are to extract the information from them then release them back to the gods." Kalus shrugged.
"Oh speaking of which, I have something similar I suppose. I even have a warden to help me torture the souls when I don’t have time to do it myself." Shiro said as she tapped her finger on the table and brought out the lantern.
Seeing the lantern, Kalus raised his eyebrows but frowned when he sensed who was inside it.
"Pft hahaha! You old goat. No wonder this girl could control souls so well. You two actually know each other." The Ancient Terror laughed out as Kalus narrowed his eyes.
"You know him gramps?" Shiro asked curiously.
"I don’t just know him. I was the one who helped seal him away for a little while. But with how he is, it’s rather difficult to completely get rid of him. How did you even deal with his mortal body?" Kalus asked.
"She sent it to space. But to think you two are actually related. You old goat, you’re actually her gramps hahahaha!" The Ancient Terror grinned.
"Shut up." Shiro narrowed her eyes and zapped his soul.
"Arg!! Fine fine! You violent woman!" The Ancient Terror gritted his teeth as Kalus chuckled.
"You actually tamed him." Kalus said with a smug smile.
"She didn’t tame me!"
"Hou hou, if you didn’t get tamed why are you her little soul warden now? If she didn’t tame you, shouldn’t you be able to get out by now?" Kalus smirked as the Ancient Terror only grumbled but stayed silent.
"Anyways, I’m quite surprised that you actually got this guy. He’ll be quite useful as a torture device I suppose." Kalus smiled as Shiro nodded her head and was about to dismiss the lantern when the Ancient Terror called out.
"Wait wait wait! I got more information from that Gil kid."
"Oh?"
"Yeah he said something about a god not forgiving us if we kill him. Seems like his patron has already run into some trouble or else you would have had to deal with an avatar of sorts when you killed him." The Ancient Terror said as Shiro raised her eyebrow.
"Hou…… Who did he say his god was?" Shiro asked.
"Light God Aekari. He helped improve the little twerp’s ability to copy skill, elements and the such. Seems like the Light God wanted to raise him as a champion or something." The Ancient Terror replied as Shiro narrowed her eyes.
"You seem to have some history for this god." Kalus said as Shiro nodded her head.
"A little mortal enemy of mine. When the new age arrives he’s my main target." Shiro replied as Kalus raised his eyebrow.
"Do you need help with that? I can ask for a few favours from Hades."
"It’s fine, I can deal with it. Plus, Nan Tian and the party will help if anything serious happens." Shiro shrugged.
"Mn if you need any help just tell me and your grandma. We can deal with it if you have any trouble. Plus, with the new age around the corner, we’ll be able to go to the mortal real with a proper reason I suppose. Your mother can travel freely since she doesn’t have a role like ours but there are still some restrictions." Kalus said as Shiro nodded her head.
Talking for a little longer, they saw Mio returning with a smile on her face.
"Seems like you have a little talk with Shiro." Mio said as Kalus nodded his head.
"If you don’t mind, I’m going to be borrowing Shiro for a while. I want to take her to one of the pocket dimensions to help her with a bit of her training." Kalus said as Mio nodded her head.
"I don’t mind but we need to ask mum don’t we?"
"I’m sure she doesn’t mind. I’m more concerned about how much time you have here since you’ll need to go back soon don’t you?" kalus asked.
"We’re fine for a while. Plus, it’s for Shiro’s benefit so I’m sure it’s fine." Mio smiled as Kalus nodded his head.
Talking for a little while, Kalus made his way out as he was going to ask his wife about the pocket dimension.
