Chapter 36: 36. Training.
Chapter 36
Lucy came out to us literally 5 minutes later in her everyday outfit, which for my taste is too revealing, even though I kissed Elsa in public, but I don't like to attract a huge number of lustful eyes with the help of clothes, although there are enough of them without that because of our beautiful appearance.
So, having gathered the whole crowd, we went out of town with the help of Elsa's spatial magic. We have been training in this place for a long time, because with the increase in our power level, the secondary destruction became more and more. The entire area for 10 kilometers in any direction was covered with huge craters, as well as gorges that remained after especially strong sword strikes. Elsa and I are thoroughly preparing for the fight with Acnologia. That is why we developed a spell that will not allow the use of magic for anything other than strengthening your own body, and also taking advantage of my knowledge system, we developed our mastery of weapons at a sufficient level that even in some worlds of cultivation we were considered geniuses born once in a million years. Although I do not take into account the worlds in which cultivators could destroy our planet with one attack. It is enough to remember the levels of power in such works as "Heart of the Dragon" or "Divine Sword of Chaos" in terms of the development of the paths of the same sword and it becomes scary. There, without even going half the way, with just one thought we would be scattered by the intent of the sword, but I still try to forget about those worlds and be content with the fact that, with full force, I can split the island with a blow of the sword.
How did Elsa and I determine this? Well, recently, a couple of islands on the world map, so to speak, split in two, and then we began to strengthen the land on our training ground as much as possible with magic. Over the past 3 years, the land here has become so strong that even Gildarts had to strain himself to destroy a piece of land of 1 square meter. And I created an artificial time anomaly, due to which time here goes 5 times faster. In short, we are imba.
- So, guys, we'll do it this way. - I clapped my hands and spoke. - Natsu, Gray. Your task will be to destroy those dummies. - I pointed at the targets, for which Elsa and I had spared no additional effort to make them even stronger than the rest of the territory. Perhaps you're wondering why they need to be trained like this? The thing is, they already know how to fight well, not to mention their energy reserves, which are at an incredible level. But they're a bit weak in terms of penetrating power, which is exactly what they need against strong opponents, so I hope that if they destroy the dummies, which only Gildarts from our guild has damaged in any way, they'll be ready even for the battle with the Araboles Empire. Why is it so important for me to prepare them for it? Because, on Tenrou Island, we plan to force all the dragons that are hiding within us to come out and have a final battle with the greatest dragon slayer.
As for training the girls? Time magic helped me here, thanks to which I summoned 3 of my clones for the duration of the training. One copy will be busy hammering the science of combat into Lissana and Dozhdiya, the second will do the same, only in relation to Charly, and the last one was busy teaching my half-relative the magic of the heavenly dragon slayer.
Well, Elsa and I moved away and, having set up a barrier, began training in full contact using all the magic to strengthen the body, as well as erecting an anti-magic zone. During sparring, we moved at such a speed that even if Natsu, despite his insane perception, would only see afterimages, and with each of our sword strikes, deep cuts remained on the reinforced ground. We spent about 6 hours at this pace, and then turned on the dragon rage mode, increasing our characteristics even more, while literally turning into a mobile natural disaster. If we had trained like this near the city, then most likely after a couple of collisions the city would have been wiped off the face of the earth. Having spent a little in this mode until we had about 10% of our reserves left, we jumped back in different directions, and then, having spent all our energy on one strike, rushed towards each other. I made a chopping strike from above, and Elsa a strike of iaijutsu from below. Our swords met exactly in the center, between us, due to the lack of collateral damage, not counting the gusts of wind, one could think that the blow was not so strong compared to the previous ones, until it becomes clear that from the force of our blow at the point of contact of the swords, the space itself was damaged. We have been training this attack for a long time, so that the excess force of the blow does not go into the surroundings, but is concentrated in one place.
"Phew, that was a great workout," Elsa sighed, releasing the anti-magic barrier and wiping the sweat from her forehead.
- I agree, our last attack is becoming more and more stable. - I said with a smile. Realizing that only by achieving 100% execution of our trump card can we be more or less sure of defeating Acnologia. The principle of our attack resembles the double lasso technique of the village hidden in the cloud from the Naruto world. The only difference is that we use swords.
Having finished our training, we headed to the rest of our charges, who were currently lying on the ground from exhaustion of magic, although Natsu and Gray could already be accustomed to the consequences of depleting their reserves.
- Guys! Wake up, we're going to have a picnic! - I shouted cheerfully, having already managed to restore at least a little mana by eating air and starting to get everything we needed for the picnic.
