MONOCHROME: Choice Of Destiny
Chapter 7 More Exercises

I slowly opened my eyes and found myself asleep on the thigh of the mother who was sitting on the sofa in our living room.

I looked up and found my mother's face?

He's looked different since we last met now he has red eyes, sharp fangs and a pair of horns on his head.

"Maybe you've been suspicious since you were a child and I'm sure your suspicions are clearer when you're summoned to another world and meet that girl, and well this is how your mother's true form is."

We both looked at each other for a while.

"Hmm? you're not afraid?"

"How can I be afraid of my own mother, and if my mother is a demon means I am also a demon."

"Fufu~ but your father is still human remember?"

"I went to another world in the hope that you could live a normal life as a human being there but it seems like fate says something else"

Mom told me with a sour face.

"How is my son's life now, are you enjoying it?"

"To be honest when I killed that bandit I was so scared, what if someday I'd become a monster."

"When I use the sword of darkness I feel the pleasure of beheading pandits."

"That's because the way you use your mother's power is wrong, if you're a complete demon you might be able to use it that way."

"But as long as your body is still human that power will instantly dominate your body and such a thing will happen."

"So how can I use that power without losing control again?"

"Well wake up first, I'll help you a little."

I woke up, when my mother snapped her finger and instantly the whole room turned into a vast meadow.

It feels very real, the sensation of feet stepping on the grass, the breeze that makes the leaves fly.

"You need a good environment for your training to run smoothly"

"It"

Mother threw a sword at me, it was the sword that Lucy gave me.

"In usage where there are 2 types of usage, there are those who use it with a great burst of power and some use it for union with mana."

"Mothers should be a direct example, I've been wanting to show off about this for a long time."

Mother holds a sword while imitating the style of kendo.

"Note well, after seeing this maybe you will be more confident."

Mother raised her sword and after that where the darkness element slowly crept out and began to envelop the sword, after that.

*BOOMM!!"

A burst of darkness shot out from the sword and soared up into the sky, the originally calm wind was now moving in a random direction like it was panicking, the green grass instantly dying instantly.

mother swung her sword down vertically just like a typical kendo player does.

"Get out!!"

Where the darkness explodes where until I have trouble opening my eyes.

As the storm subsided before the mother a V-shaped cut appeared as far as the eye could see, and in the center it was so deep that I felt the earth itself would split in two.

"Crack! crack! crush!!"

The sound of broken glass.

The world is broken into pieces.

I looked at the person who did it with a new look.

"seen? it's a simple example, each affinity has a different effect depending on the mastery and the amount of mana.for example the dragon lord ES you fought yesterday he could create a very fierce snowstorm."

"Hmm? clique"

mom snapped a finger and then the world came back to its original state

"Fufu~ibu will usually use darkness to create a 100-meter-high dark sword with a width of 25 meters to sweep away enemies, or cover the ground with darkness that will kill all who touch it. you can use it as a reference in the future."

"Next the mother will show you how unification works."

"If the first way is to increase the strength of the attack then the second way is to increase the physical strength to beyond the normal limits."

All this time I just kept quiet and watched quietly.

"It's quite difficult to do because it requires very good control of mana but I'm sure my son can do it."

Now the mother just stood still while closing her eyes, slowly the land of darkness began to creep again but not towards the sword but instead began to cover the mother's own body until her entire body turned black.

After a while the form of darkness began to change.

Then the darkness was absorbed into the mother's body and formed a black tattoo on her body.

The one in front of me now was a mother with a completely different body, a huge black horn, sharper eyes, black armor covering her body, and a pair of black bat wings appeared behind her. an aura of darkness surrounded his body like he was becoming darkness itself.

"It feels less like it's just like this."

"Click" the instant the Dragon Lord Gizel appeared in maid clothes?

"Giz-chan I want to show off to my son so please attack me at your full strength."

"Huhh.you asked for it"

"Ryu you better get a little bit away maybe 100 meters is enough."

I walked away without a word because I knew how strong Gizel was when I fought him.

after that Gizel turned into a giant dragon form where my mother was only the size of one finger.

Gizel took a very long breath and then launched a very strong breath attack to freeze everything in front of him.

Mother didn't even move an inch and was still with her usual smile when that breath hit her body.

That breath continued forward while freezing everything was no exception until it finally stopped.

"Fufu~ see? even the strongest attack of the Dragon Lord cannot scratch my skin"

"Please do not teach your son anything wrong, you are not scratched not by unification but you are too strong."

"Fufu~ don't be, if I don't use unification you can definitely make me feel cold and maybe be able to freeze a strand of my hair."

"Huhh, whatever"

Mom saw me and waved.

"Hows it? do you understand how to do it?"

"Understand what, from earlier mother just babbling then give an example that is not suitable for beginners like me."

"Ehh? haha I'm sorry mom was a little overboard, but since you're my son and that person I'm sure you can definitely do it."

"Miss, can you allow me to train Ryu?"

"Ohh that would be very helpful" I immediately agreed, even if only briefly but Gizel trained me very well and the explanation was easy to understand.

Mumbled "my son threw me away, I'm a bad mother, a hyster I should never have been born in this world."

I pretend I didn't hear it.

"I'm sorry miss, but you don't have the talent to teach a disciple."

And with that final attack my mother fell for the first time.

On the other hand

"I'm home"

An ordinary middle-aged man who had just returned from the office.

Usually he will be welcomed by a beautiful wife and say "welcome dear" and so on but today the house is very quiet.

The man went up to the second floor and intended to go to the room to change his clothes.

"Uwea!! Ryu! I'm a bad mother!"

The man went into the room and found the woman who was his wife crying while hugging a roll bearing the picture of his son and rolling over and over.

The man was goosebumps even he could feel the sweat on the back of his neck.

I should have run away

That was the first thing that came to mind of the man.

Slowly close the door so that it does not make a sound.

Just before the door was closed the man's body was pulled forward forcibly because there was someone pulling the door on the other side.

The man stumbled and when he realized a woman had already hugged him while immersing her face in the man's chest.

"Hiks hiks, dear Ryu already dumped me, but he's my son but prefers to train with that damn Nizel."

The man didn't know what to say to calm his wife down so he just stroked her head until she calmed down.

"Mayumi, Ryu has grown up now isn't it time we let him live independently? and that doesn't mean Ryu will leave you."

"Can't we go into that world now?"

"Of course you can, it's just that if we show up in that world right now the world will be fucked."

"Then what should I do?"

"You've left your consciousness there and isn't that enough? you can call him when you miss him."

"That's not enough!!"

"Huhh alright, we'll be there when the time is right."

"Promise?"

"I promise"

Son, I don't care what you do there but please don't make your mother cry like this, maybe right now you can still hold him back but if it happens again in the future I'm sure he'll run away and be alone in the world.

I hope you can love your mother more because in this world no one knows it feels lonely without the affection of parents or family.

I continued my training with Gizel, for now he is focused on teaching me the unification technique because he thinks I I don't need the mass destruction attack technique, I simply handed the task over to the witch who was in my party.

First I was taught how to channel the light elements into my veins and try to keep them as long as possible, so that my body would not be taken over by darkness when I used unification.

Normally the unification was to make armor from nowhere and just coat the outside of the body, and what was surprising was that my mother just showed me was not the usual unification but rather the transformation into mana itself.

Next I was taught how to make the dark element cover the outside of my body in the form of armor.

Covering my body with which the element of darkness is easy enough that makes it difficult is that I have to concentrate fully just to change its shape into armor.

I lived in my mother's domain for approximately 3 months, I was able to drain the light element into my veins 24 hours nonstop after 1 month.

1 week later I was able to wrap my body with the element of darkness.

The rest I spent trying to change its shape into a full armor.

All this time doesn't mean that I'm just doing the exercises but we're spending quite a bit of time relaxing because my mom likes to change the shape of the domain.

He would turn his domain into something dangerous if he was in a bad mood like volcanoes, oceans etc.

And when that happens I have to comfort her by talking or eating together.

He also established the day-night axis to more easily establish exercise times and rest periods.

To be honest, the break time didn't apply to me because at night my mother always dragged me to sleep with her, she even sealed the door so no one could get in or out of the room.

And with so my practice time ended up with such an amazing result, I can't wait to provoke Lucy into trying this new power.

"Ryu, the advice from me out there you should continue to develop this technique and extend the duration of its unification to the stage you can use it 24 hours nonstop. at least it is the initial stage to activate the transformation."

"I'll remember it, and I'll also learn swordsmanship from Lucy."

Then my mother came and hugged me

"hiks I know you'll be very lonely out there but take it easy I'll watch you from here"

Oh my God, you said something like that

crying out?

"Alright well, I visit mom when I miss you."

I entered the portal to return to the real world.

pov Mayumi's

"I'm sure they won't stay silent after you show such power, even if you put it out inside the domain but surely the aura will leak out into the outside world."

"I know that, from the very beginning I had no intention of hiding. That boy, he was destined to be the center of the world's attention since he was born as my son."

"The longer he lives he will master my abilities and even he has the potential to surpass me in the future, at least for now I want him to live a normal life."

"What do you think will happen if a long-lost monster suddenly reappears?"

"Surely they will become very vigilant."

"Right, they would focus too much on that monster and wouldn't care about anything else."

"If the events of 10,000 years ago were to repeat themselves, this time you would surely die."

"Fufu~ you're right, but it doesn't matter as long as I can create a world where the child can live happily."

"so."
