Chapter 482: Regina’s Training (2)

Today's chapter...

...

Regina had been thinking about training the girls since the last battle. She had realized that her master needed strong people that could support him.

In the end, she decided to start with the people closest to him. Liu Ying, Aya, Sara, Eres, and Princess Elwha.

As for Gina, although she was close to Bloed, she was not very suitable for combat, so Regina did not include her in the training.

Although Regina said that she was going to train them, in truth, she just planned to teach them some techniques and spar with them occasionally.

However, she needed to think about what technique she was going to teach them.

For Liu Ying, Regina decided not to teach her anything new, and instead, show her some tricks using [Silent Touch].

Silent Touch was a powerful martial art created by a powerful Valkyrie. Its potential was very high, and when used to the highest level, it was a technique able to unleash powerful attacks while keeping an impenetrable defense.

Unfortunately, Liu Ying's mana was just at the B-Rank, and her understanding of Silent Touch was not deep enough. Due to that, she was unable to show the true power of this technique.

But after this training, Regina expected that Liu Ying's combat strength increased by one or two small levels.

After Liu Ying, Regina looked at Sara.

She thought for a moment before putting on a serious expression.

"Sara, there are several techniques that I can teach you, however, I don't think any of them can unleash your true potential. But there is a technique that I think is very suitable for you. However, you must decide if you want to learn it."

Sara furrowed her brows.

"Is anything wrong with that technique?"

"Something like that. This technique was created by an assassin organization. It allows the user to unleash an extremely powerful attack way beyond their capabilities. In exchange, though, the user's energy will be completely expended, and if you use the technique to its full power, even your life will be forfeit."

Sara's expression changed.

Regina's meaning was clear. If she decided to learn this technique, then there was a risk of her eventually dying due to it.

Sara hesitated. For an instant, she did not know whether to agree or to refuse.

But then, she remembered how useless she was during the last incident.

She swore to become Bloed's shadow, his most loyal knight, however, when the demigods attacked, she was unable to help him.

" Will I become stronger if I learn this technique?"

"Stronger?" Regina chuckled. "No, you won't."

Sara was startled, but then, she saw Regina's lips curling slightly upwards.

"However, you will become much more lethal. Even demigods will fear your dagger."

A stunned expression appeared on Sara's face.

Was Regina serious? Did she mean that she would be able to kill demigods?

Sara thought that it was impossible unless she became a demigod herself.

But when Regina saw her distrustful expression, she smirked.

"This technique is called [Instant of Glory]. It gathers all the energy and strength of the user for one extremely powerful attack. This is the perfect technique for assassination.

"And you, Sara, are the perfect assassin. Your ability to hide your presence allows you to approach almost any target without being detected. If you combine that ability with this technique, then almost no enemy will be able to resist your attack. Even Blighted Creatures will perish under your blade unless they are much stronger than you."

"Instant of Glory" Sara murmured to herself.

Listening to Regina's explanation, Sara could not help but get the impression that this technique was made for her.

It would make her a deadly one-hit-kill assassin.

In exchange, she could only attack once before having to rest.

"Make your choice, girl," Regina asked at her coldly.

Sara hesitated for an instant, but in the end, her expression turned determined.

"I will learn it."

"Great." Regina smiled. "Then get ready to learn it."

After telling Sara the basics of the technique, Regina looked at the next girl.

This time, it was Eres's turn.

However, Regina frowned when she thought about what technique to teach her.

She hated to admit it, but Eres was a genius. A true prodigy. She had never seen anyone with so much talent.

Moreover, the abilities and techniques she used were not any weaker than anything she could teach her.

In the end, instead of teaching her anything, she asked Eres something.

" When we fought the dragon, how did you escape the effects of its domain?"

Eres frowned before replying.

"I created a layer of transparent flames around my body, burning everything around me, including the effects of the domain."

Regina looked at her with a complicated expression before sighing.

"I can't teach you much. Even though I know a few techniques that seem suitable for you, they are not better than the techniques you use now. Instead of teaching you anything new, it's better if you polish your current abilities."

Eres nodded calmly. "I understand. Thank you anyway."

"Don't worry. Even if I can't teach you anything, I can be a good sparring partner."

Eres was startled, but when she saw that Regina was serious, she nodded.

Regina then moved her gaze to the next girl.

Princess Elwha.

Regina's put on a thoughtful expression. Of the five girls, Princess Elwha was the most unique one.

According to Regina's observations, Princess Elwha specialized in using psychic power, what in this world was known as Soul Energy.

She was good at interfering with the enemy's mind and affecting the soul directly. It was an ability with great potential.

Thus, Regina decided to strengthen it.

What she taught her was a technique called [Soul Severing Blade].

This technique was created by a Valkyrie to fight the Devourers. But unlike most Valkyries, this one did not own a powerful ESP ability. Quite the opposite, her ESP ability was very weak.

Thus, this Valkyrie decided to strengthen her psychic power instead and use it to attack her enemies.

Eventually, she developed it at the level where even the Devourers were helpless against it. She created a brand-new style of battle by herself.

Her psychic energy was like blades, cutting the souls of her enemies. It was a fearsome technique that almost nobody could defend against.

Not anybody could learn this technique, though. Only people with a very special talent to wield psychic energy could.

But Regina had the feeling that Elwha would be able to use it.

And as she expected, the elven princess learned it easily. In fact, she learned it faster than Regina expected.

"I feel as though this technique was made for me," Elwha told her, making Regina put on another thoughtful expression.

When the Valkyrie was done with Princess Elwha, it was Aya's turn.

But when she reached the cat girl, Regina stopped.

She stared at the black-haired cat girl for several seconds, furrowing her brows deep in thought.

Honestly, she did not know what to teach her. Unlike the other girls, Aya's talents were not that clear.

She had a stronger body than normal, but it could not be compared to Liu Ying. Her stealth skills were first-rate, but they were below Sara, and when it came to the soul, she was a complete novice.

Regina was clueless about what kind of technique to teach her.

But just when she was deep in thought, a figure appeared on the training floor.

Golden hair, golden eyes, and an expressionless look plus a pair of fox ears and a fluffy tail on her back.

The ex-saintess of Moonlight Glow, Eve Moonglow.

"Don't worry about Aya, I will teach her." The fox girl said expressionlessly.

Regina raised an eyebrow, but after thinking about it for a moment, she nodded.

Eve was a beastkin just like Aya. She should know what to teach Aya better than Regina.

"I understand, I will leave her in your hands."

"Thank you." Eve nodded and looked at Aya. "Come with me, Aya. We will start immediately."

The cat girl was startled, but she hurriedly nodded and walked towards Eve.

In the next second, Eve and Aya disappeared from the tower.

Regina stared at the place where they disappeared for an instant before turning towards the other girls.

"Let's continue the training."

But at that moment, she realized that Eres was leaving.

"Are you leaving? Even if I can't teach you anything, sparring with me should be of help to you." The Valkyrie asked.

"Not today. I told you that I would make sure that nothing like what happened to my brother a few days ago would happen again, right? I need to make sure of that."

With these words, Eres left.
