“Remember this though, if you promise to pledge yourself to the young master, Hela will help you.” Forseti assured them when he noticed their anxious looks. You would know how important this was to them once you observed Alucard. Even the carefree blood prince had the same look of anxiety on his face. It showed just how much this meant to them.
The eyes of the four lit up at the same time. If previously they looked like men forced to wander a desert for many days without any water, they now looked like they had come across an oasis and were eager for a drink of the lifesaving resource.
“We pledge our loyalty to the one who remains hidden” Dracula promised, his voice filled with the unwavering spirit of one determined to do
“Ha ha ha”Mane panted laboriously as he struggled to catch his breath. His small frame was coated heavily with sweat, with his clothes sticking adamantly to his fair skin. Before him was a dummy that was dented in many areas. Along with the dents were small traces of dried up blood. He was currently training. It had been a month since he recovered. That would make it a month since he began his training- body wielding training. His ragged breaths showed how intense his training was. And his tired eyes spoke volumes of the stress it took on his body. Yet when one looked into those tired eyes there was no look of concession, only the burning will to train harder.“It is not enough.” He muttered. Due to his ragged breathing his sentence was produced in fragments, and it wasn’t as fluid as it normally would be.“Again.” From his mind space the booming voice of the 5th filled his head. He could feel his ears ringing, almost a
“He is actually able to use outer energy.” He mumbled silently. Ray was stunned by what he was seeing. Typically, body wielders trained for a relatively long time before being able to manipulate edict. The fastest he had heard someone gained access to outer energy was after three months of training. Mane had been training for only 1! And although he could only maintain this state for ten seconds, and couldn’t necessarily use it in combat, it was only a matter of time before that weakness was overcome.As for why he couldn’t use it in combat, it was simply because no one will wait for him to prepare himself so comfortably before attacking. Since Mane was now learning the ropes, he wasn’t used to entering this state on a whim. He would grow more talented in it in the weeks to come. That much Ray was certain of.“Good. Again.” The 4th didn’t say much. But his commands were conveyed, and his praise was flattering. Mane nodded
After delivering the kick, Mane flipped mid-air and landed stably. He kept his body crouched and poised for an attack. But unlike before, he didn’t make the first move. He patiently watched his father like an eagle stalking its prey. But this time, it wasn’t going to play out as it always did. For his father was no prey; dude was a hunter.*Boom*The ground beneath Ray exploded as the full power of a mortal realm expert burst out from within him. Just like the outburst of outer energy that body wielders were so adept at, the outburst of inner energy was also explosive. However, unlike outer energy, inner energy manifested in a strange glow that covered the body. As could be seen on Ray currently, the green glow that covered his entire frame was born from inner energy. Outer energy made no such manifestations. It was rare to see this g
“So Dad, how did you do it? I was certain that I struck you.” It had been over an hour since Mane lost consciousness. He woke up about ten minutes after he passed out and immediately began to meditate. After swallowing some recovery pills, he had meditated for over 40 minutes. His meditation had only just ended, and he finally felt full of energy and vigour. Although he was a bit exhausted, this was mainly psychological, and a little bit of sleep will be enough to deal with that. Of course he was ignoring the slight aching from his body. After a month of tedious training, he had become accustomed to this feeling. Once he was sufficiently fit, he immediately asked what he had been curious about before he even lost his consciousness.“Lease. Make that two leases.” Ray answered with a smile. “What spell
“Good, you’re finally out. I almost came in there to call you.” Just when the father and son duo had exited the training room, and closed the door, they heard the voice of the only woman with authority to command them in this house. Ray shuddered when he heard her words. They were so lucky that they had left just now. Just a couple of seconds more and they would have been in trouble. Well, it was more accurate to say that he would have been in trouble. There was no way she would even scold Mane, not to talk of bruising her son. He was a different case altogether. Alexis had no qualms breaking his jaw. And she definitely didn’t mind bruising his pretty face. Even worse was that he couldn’t use his god power to heal since if he restored his appearance without her permission she would be even more infuriated.
Once they were done with their meal (and by they, I mean Ray and Mane, since Alexis wasn’t done) they spoke heartily about several issues. Some of them were of consequence, and others were just for laughs. After relaxing for about forty-five minutes, Mane and Ray returned to the training room. The second phase of the training wasn’t just for body wielding. It was shorter than the first phase, and it was preceded by a spar. After the spar, Mane will them meditate on the gains of the day. After all, sparring against a god was very beneficial. Although he never won, his insights were tremendous. Mane wasn’t certain because he had been fighting against someone way above his league, but he suspected that his combat strength had exceeded what it was before he got injured.
What Mane cast were a few low level leases and one mid-level lease he created- yes, created. He cast a speed lease, a strength lease, and a vitality lease. These leases were basic, and every spiritualist knew them. The last one was a lease he created after his month of training. It was tailor made to conform to the beast form he used when he was body wielding, and it was pretty powerful. It wasn’t strange for spiritualists to come up with leases on their own. Nevertheless, what Mane did was still impressive. Especially since he had done this as an eleven year old. But he had the Basileus glow to thank for that. It was by utilizing this glow that he could comprehend the mysteries of lease. But he didn’t utilise it in his earlier leases. He wouldn’t be a spiritualist if he couldn’t cast such simple leases without his glow.There were two kinds of spiritualists: the main attack type spiritualists, and; the support type spiritualists. Mane and his father w
His attack sent that Ray flying across the room into what seemed to be the final destination for all who got struck in this duel- the wall.“Star Flicker”, Ray mumbled quietlyEven though Mane hadn’t mentioned the name of the technique he used, Ray still figured it out. He was aware that Mane had been able to master the second stage of this high level skill book. Besides, he had seen his son’s power level. The speed he had just displayed didn’t belong to someone of his power level. It was far greater. Although his son had cast a speed lease, it had only made him slightly faster than before. It wasn’t enough to grant him such a massive boost. By his observation, it was about four times the speed of a regular hig
