I think we are bit too close, but I would not mind being even closer than we currently are. I blinked my eyes in confusion, lost in his.
"With that gaze, you're definitely alright." He said and gently lay me down. A moment later he stood up and casually walked towards the angel."..."I was still a bit blank minded, and just absently stared at his back. I felt the feelings of loss when he put me down.Anyway, he was going to finally kill the wretched angel. I thought after a moment.But...A moment later, I realized that the same 'wretched' angel, was actually staring down at its chest. Or to be precise, the hole on its chest."...""..."Not only it, I was also surprised.When did that happen?I thought. My eyes hurriedly shifting towards big brother Damien who was walking casually towards the angel.Did... did he actually..?Oh wow. My Damien is actuallJuliette once again nodded obediently. Damien smiled and gently rubbed her head. "Which is why, I want to ask you. Would you prefer us going two on one against these fellas." "Or... would you want to test your own strength as well?" He said, slowly and calmly. The angel was his opponent. Hence he had defeated two trials so far. And he was still not aware of his limit. Then there was Juliette, who still had two more trials to partake in. In short, even if he pit himself around her level, and say that he had a total of three trials, they still had three opponents to fight. Minus one The next coming trial in a few seconds could be ignored. Hence, there were two more opponents. At minimum at that. Plus, Juliette also required to mature, combat wise. So he proposed, looking forward to her thoughts, and what she preferred. "You... you want my opinion?" Juliette confirmed as she looked at Damien with bright eyes. They we
*** Juliette Silver *** I closed my eyes as instructed, and focused solely on my breathing. The act itself was not hard, hence I was able to do it no problem. My heart relaxed. My thoughts clean. My breathing normal. It was just as I was instructed. And I could see some progress. "..." At first, I could see nothing but darkness. It was normal for anyone who closed their eyes. But next, I began to see a blue spark. It was not far away from my consciousness, yet felt like it was unreachable. At this point, my mind was blank. And the only thing I could focus on was the blue spark. Come~ I beckoned at it. I know it was a strange action. And I don't know why I called out to it, but I felt the need to. Like a mother affectionately calling upon their child. I thus called again... Come~ ... It ignored me. But I was not disappointed, nor disheartened. I
*** Narrative *** Damien watched as Juliette walked towards the spirit. His expression was null, or rather stoic. But deep within his eyes, was a blazing will of curiosity. He knew her too well. She might not have had the constitution to be a warrior, or had the determination to be one back then, but now, she did. The circumstances they were sorounded with, and exposed to the past thirteen minutes, have changed her. As well as the enhancement from the level ups. Her body was now pretty much stronger than even third generational humans. She also had the wonderful new power of Mana. Adding on the teachings she had from his parents and himself, she was at least capable of self defense. Of course, even fighting to an extent. Thus he was not that much worried. Especially so, when the opponents here did not have much experience themselves. In simple terms, this was the newbie stage, and she would be alright. <
And there, one could actually see a small twirling of tornado-like nigh-invisible force. It was light blue in color, and threatened to materialize on her hand. 'Such... exquisite Mana Control is hard to come by.' He thought with a light smile. This battle was already won. It was only a matter if time. Juliette stared at the Void borne spirit vigilantly. The opponents also vigilantly stared back at her. Non moving at all. One being the other's full focus. Time felt nonexistent to them. Meanwhile, Juliette continued to gather Mana at her palm. She easily attracted Mana like breathing, the action was just involuntary for her. Just a single thought, and Mana would gush from her heart to her palm. Then she extricately guided it using her will to circulate clockwise, forming a cyclone-like twirl. Of course, such an action required plenty of Mana and focus, in which case she realized that she had a lot of it. As an Apprentice, her
[ TING!!! ] [ Your partner killed the Lvl 3 Earthborne Spirit, Barrd.

You have individually obtained 44,53 (45) units of Life Essence. Your partner has obtained 36,3 (36) units of Life Essence ] "..." Damien was now more than surprised. Due to believing that the Void borne spirit was the final trial, he did not focus on the time. Three minutes was long gone... It was useless anyway. Who would have known that three minutes had long gone by, and the Earth borne spirit was sneaking towards Juliette? Fortunately for them, it was swept under the explosion worth 1 point of magic damage value. And these opponents have yet to even gain this high leveled defenses. Even for an Earth Spirit, at level 3, it did not have such defense value
And it easily dissipated a few centimeters before it. "Great. At least I get to kill another lizard for you old friend. And this one, might be the toughest out of all of... them!!" David finished his monologue with a ferocious charge towards the lizard, his speed at its maximum and his strength riled up to the core. Gig's Hammer in his hands only made his monstrous presence even more frightening. "Roar!!!" The lizard also let out a powerful roar, and shot out a canon blast of lava-like flames towards David. The man easily avoided the attack, as it's lethality was beyond even his defenses. Immediately as he avoided the canon blast of lava-like flames, he hurriedly smashed the hammer towards the lizard's head, unprecedented strength flowing out. Boom!! The air exploded out, as strength of over forty tons smashed towards the lizard. "Roar!!" The lizard though large, easily managed to roll over and
These were the thoughts of the Thunder Eagle, and it immediately focused its attention towards the Bush were red blood was flowing out. Feeling killing intent directed at it, the bush where blood was flowing out slightly trembled. A reaction that the person within, felt the killing intent directed at them. Completely sure of its guesses, the Thunder Eagle burst out at frightening speed, like a bolt of lightning dashing towards the ground at insane speed. Yet what was even faster, was a sharp kneedle covered by wind strongly rotating clockwise, making it also rotate, giving it more piecing power. The needle immediately hit the Thunder Eagle upon the head, with clear accuracy, dulling its speed and the lightning flashing around its body. It then fell down before it could even reach the bush it was intending to attack. ... Moments later, from the bush with a tail wagging back and forth, a beautiful woman with slightl
Those were words meant to only pull in more beings to join our side faster. As for the validity of our words, who would verify them? Did they have what it takes? This would bring hate and discontent towards us, yet did it matter? We thought otherwise. Their feelings were not even second-hand matters to us. They could cry and cuss for all we care. For did it matter, when our goal was full-filled? Unfortunately for them, no. But fortunately for us, our plan succeeded.
