She smiled slightly at the compliment yet nodded her head at his guess.
"More so I run an orphanage. I take in children that the world would let die. Yet in a way I more so adopted them all and wouldn't let anyone adopt them, so yeah I guess you could say I adopted them. As for what I do, if I told you I'd have to kill you." Hikage said while holding up her arms while grring almost to insinuate a joke, when really she was telling the truth.
"What I can tell you that I'm a scary lady." Again the whole childish grring and gestures said quite the opposite. Although if you ignored the silly gestures then you would see that she was telling the truth.
@liferusher@LugubriousIke Riven- Goodbye to the nightmare kingdom.
The amount of time that had passed by was lost to Ike, all he knew was that he lost track after thirty days. Thirty days without eating and not losing weight, thirty days of no water and not even feeling parched. It was literally as if he was dead. Yet the worst of it all was thirty days of being all alone in a place where the only company he had was a bunny that wanted him dead. Yet it never hunted him down it stayed in the throne room and just waited there. Whenever he approached it though, he just kept feeling the fear of utter annihilation by it. How could a bunny be so ungodly strong, that brats magic really was something. Yet what she did wrong was giving him the chance to get stronger without exhaustion holding him down, without something trying to kill him every second of the day.
So his time after those thirty days he forgot, and in replace of keeping track of such a thing he started to train himself. Usually his absorption rate was so slow it was almost a hindrance, yet with all the time in the world he could finally work on improving it. So he sat down and just kept absorbing and absorbing. He was sure he spent days on this he had to have, watching it ever so slowly grow from a slow process to a normal building process. It was almost pleasing to watch those energy balls that slowly moved towards him, just start drawing towards him at a much quicker rate. Although during this process he still was alone with no one to converse with. It really was terrifying to feel like you were the last person left in the world. So he wasn't that surprised to see that his hair fell out from stress, although it was annoying that the one process that stayed in was changed to his body. That child really was just toying with his life wasn't she?
Once he was happy enough with his absorption rate he decided to try and think up of some new moves he could do, yet something terrified him. When he started using his positive energy it was just as difficult to have used as his negative energy was. Yet for some reason his negative energy was easy to sue now. He felt no strain from it at all. Thats when he decided to head to the library the castle had. The books strangely enough had info on magics of the world, so maybe his magic was in there somewhere. The library was immense though and he went through each and every book he could find until he finally found what he was looking for. What he thought was an energy absorption was in reality a mood absorption, his magic was based off his mood and he was simply absorbing energy to keep using those specific moods. The list really went on and on of what each emotion did. His happiness was balanced in terms of use while his negative had the highest attack power. And something that was highly advanced for his magic was absorbing another persons mood to power him up. Not steal it but just harness its power from someone's body to power him up. He also found books on learning how to properly use a sword, which he took a few as he brought it back to his little training area.
Swords were scattered everywhere so picking a couple up was easy enough. Yet the one he seemed to like the most was this gauntlet that allowed him to shoot his energy out of to form a blade. It was a different style to use since the weapon was attached to his hand, yet its one that benefited him well. Guarding could be much easier since all he had to do was point his hand and out pops the blade. He spent some time so he could use it well enough but he didn't spend a huge amount of time on it. Just enough to be able to use one with no troubles, and apparently long enough for his hair to start growing back in but it grew back in white instead of blonde.
He then tried to use the other emotions that the book stated as it labeled their use. Yet despite being able to use them, the only two that he was capable of using with no trouble was Anger and his negativity. It kind of showed him how his mindset was behaving as of late and truly he didn't care that much. He truly did want to make this Isla woman pay for doing this to him. He also truly wanted to crush anyone into dust if they ever strayed from the path of justice. He was sure his old self would be terrified by his new self for thinking so little of just destroying people. Yet Isla showed him one thing, the strong devour the weak and when he got out of this fucking painting by god was he going to devour that little shit whole. Would his guild even welcome him back though? With how long he was gone he was sure they would have forgotten him.
He couldn't let that stall him though he had to become stronger and stronger and even stronger. What was interesting and never hit him until he had time to try was what he could do with his magic. So he did have Isla to thank for that, and oh would he demonstrate just how thankful; he was. His magic had many uses, he could make multitude of weapons with his magic and even wrap people and objects in an orb of his energy and bash them all around the place. It was staggering just what he could do with his magic, yet now he just needed strengthen his body and what better way than simple exercises all while he improved his absorption rate even more? Did he know how much time passed? Not at all, what he did know was that his time spent here only made him far stronger than he was when he first came in. Yet now it was time to kick a bunnies ass then track down a tiny little woman and then proceed to obliterate her and everything she stood for.
Deciding hes had enough of this world he went into the castle and the throne room, where upon meeting the bunny who went into his monstrous bulky form he no longer felt fear from looking at it. Quite the opposite really, what he felt was nothing utter than pure happiness to destroy this creation and then leave. The bunny charged right at him swinging its fist, yet Ike rose his hand up and a even bigger black hand popped out of the ground and caught the bunnies arm. It just swung its other fist yet Ike moved his arm to the side and the bunny was thrown across the room and through a wall. It just came charging back at him which caused Ike to clench his hand and a black hand caught it foot causing it to trip on the ground. Yet it just broke free and kept charging, he gave it credit it was determined to kill him.
His eyes flashed black and he started his absorption of the energy around him, quickly regaining the energy he just used. Yet he wanted to test something, so when the bunny came close and swung at him he let it. The punch connected with his chest and sent him flying back. Far enough that he flew out the wall and rolled on the ground where the bunny came charging as he stood up. Ike grinned though at the first thing hes felt in a while, pain. Ike however clenched both his hands together and two black hands would come out of the ground and squeeze the bunny. Ike made sure that the hands rose the bunny far enough above the ground so it couldn't just use its leg power to break free. An orb then covered the bunny as Ike smirked and held his hand up. Ike's aura practically radiated his negativity as he started swinging his hand in all directions, the orb following his hands movements and smashed into the grounds and walls over and over. Ike then pulled the Orb in closer to him and just grinned at the bunny who was clearly not enjoying the assault. It lowered its ears sadly when Ike held his left hand in front of the orb it was trapped in, for the first few seconds thats all the bunny saw was his hand. Then a massive torrent of black energy just enveloped the orb and the bunny, Ike released the orb and made the torrent even bigger by adding his right hand into the mix. Then he would just make it bigger by firing energy from his mouth, the torrent not only destroyed the rabbit but it tore a whole so big through the castle that without the proper structure it just collapsed in on itself. Finally stopping his attack and letting the dust clear, what stood in the end was Ike over a destroyed castle and a bunny that turned into a portal. He hesitated slightly, just where was his painting even located? He had to have been gone for months, would he be in some strangers home? Or would he be in a dump?
He would never get answers wondering, so he took a deep breath and walked through the portal to only be confused. This looked like a Frenzy plant tent, he paid no attention to anything else and walked outside to find himself in the same camp they had for the games. In fact with all the chatter he knew the games were going on right now. What was going on?!? Ike went back in the tent and grab his painting, he had to do something before figuring that out. Bringing the painting outside he chucked the painting into the sky and blew it to pieces with a orb of negativity. So when the pieces fell on the ground, he just kept blowing those pieces into smaller pieces and even smaller pieces. When he left nothing but dust he fell to his knees and panted a bit. It was so weird, he finally got to experience what fatigue was again.
