Chapter 1114 Syradil's Training
Sensing Shiro approaching her, Syradil opened her eyes and yawned.
"Finished?" She asked as she knew that Shiro was training with Revel.
"Not quite but he can't continue so we'll move onto your training." Shiro smiled as Syradil blinked her eyes in confusion.
"Can't continue? Did he have something to do?" She asked but Shiro shook her head.
Pointing behind her, Shiro stepped aside so that Syradil could see Revel's state.
".. ." Rubbing her eyes to make sure she wasn't dreaming, Syradil could see Revel's beaten up body twitching in a crater while the scenery around him was being repaired.
"What happened to him?"
"He's just trying to learn how to use a new form of energy right now. Something similar to mana. He's only twitching because I'm running a bunch of information through his brain while healing him. Pretty sure if it was someone else, they would have their brain melted by now. He's only holding on because of his innate healing and my Life Fire." Shiro shrugged while sitting down.
"Right… So what do you have in store for me then?" Syradil asked curiously because Shiro had mentioned that this was something she needed to learn.
"What's in store for you? We'll I'll leave most of the training a secret for now. But let me ask you a question, you've reached level 1000 before right?" Shiro asked as Syradil nodded.
"Mn I did, what about it?"
"Did you ever breakthrough to the next stage and attain a divinity?"
"Well…. Kind of? I never needed to reach that stage to be fair. You can defeat most Queens and Empress's by just reaching the peak of mortal standards. Which is level 1000. The remaining Queen's and Empress's required you to have a great deal of fighting experience and quick thinking. None of them 'needed' you to be tier 7 to kill them. I have gained physiques that were equal to Demi Gods but never really used what you call Divine Energy." Syradil admitted as this garden's New Age was highly abnormal. If that wasn't the case then Shiro would have been fine by now and would have probably won with relative ease.
"Hmm so your body probably experienced Divine Energy before with your physique. You had a passive adaptive defence right?" Shiro asked as Syradil nodded her head.
"I only have the lesser version right now. It'll be upgraded in the future. Why you ask?"
"Hou hou, well, for you see, if I pump you with enough Divine Energy, you'll get a feel for the energy as well as gaining a resistance no? It'll help out when we fight Rokarn." Shiro smiled as golden runes lit up on her arm.
"So basically I'm going to hit the crap out of you until you gain a resistance."
Hearing this, Syradil narrowed her eyes.
"Of course, you can fight back. It's a spar with the additional benefits of you getting Divine Energy resistance. Plus, you might even get an idea on how to obtain it for yourself." Shiro chuckled as Syradil nodded her head.
Cracking her knuckles, she looked at Shiro.
"Ready when you are."
*BANG!!!!!
Without hesitation, Shiro slammed her fist into Syradil's chest as golden runes lit up and launched her into the distance.
Stomping down, Shiro chased after her as a sea of flames appeared in her face.
Curling her lips into a smile, Shiro dashed into the flames without fear.
After all, thanks to Attie, she has an immunity to flames below Demi God level.
Bursting out of the flames, Shiro's fists were wrapped with a golden light as Syradil was surprised that her flames did nothing.
Pulling her arm back, she punched towards Shiro as she did the same.
*BANG!!!!
Feeling her arm ache from the force of her punch, Syradil winced slightly as the force pushed her towards the ground.
Clasping her hands together, Shiro created a tier 7 magic circle in the sky.
Creating a portal to space, all of the satellites could be seen as each of them slowly charged up an attack.
Summoning a bow into her hands, Shiro narrowed her eyes and carved golden runes onto the surface before pulling back.
Seeing this, Syradil furrowed her brows.
Flames erupted from her body as her body transformed into a flaming dragon. Opening her mouth, a condensed beam of energy erupted out and shot towards Shiro.
However, a hexagonal barrier appeared around Shiro and dispersed the energy.
"Sorry but this barrier was based on Revel's unique physique. I can't convert all of the mana and energy but it does absorb roughly 20% of what you fire at me." Shiro smiled as she let go of the bow strings.
*BOOM!!!!
Widening her eyes, Syradil didn't know what to say as the sky was now filled with a myriad of attacks, all aimed towards her.
Gritting her teeth, the flames on her body extinguished just before the blasts reached her.
*BANG!!!!!
Closing the portal, Shiro waved her hand and cleared the dust.
Standing in a crater, was a wingless dragon that had black scales all over its body.
Seeing how her attack barely harmed Syradil, Shiro raised her eyebrow in surprise.
"Black Crystal Dragon. Black Crystal was the hardest material in my world. It was highly resistance to all forms of damage, especially mana. Due to a few items and skills, I was able to integrate some of the crystal into my body, creating a defensive dragon form. As the Empress of Dragons, it wouldn't make sense for me to only have one dragon form after all. However, this form does have a small draw back, my movements dull once I change forms as I need to clear the crystals and my speed is heavily decreased. It's only really good for defending against an attack that I can't dodge." Syradil explained as Shiro nodded her head.
"You want some time to recover or keep going?"
"Keep going, my enemies won't give me time to recover after all." Syradil smiled as the crystals started to shatter.
Transforming herself into a green dragon with blue lights under each scale, she activated a tier 6 magic circle.
Suddenly, vines shot out of the ground as Shiro was forced to dive down to dodge them.
She didn't know what they did but they gave her a bad feeling.
"Smart move. These are Devil Vines. Once they latch onto you, they plant a seed which drains your mana and health and transfer them to me. The more seeds that are planted in your body, the stronger the absorption."
"Well that's certainly helpful to know. Let's try this then." Shiro smiled as flames started to flicker on her fingertips.
Activating her Soul Maiden skill, fire wrapped around her body. A black and red dress enveloped her body as the vines that were close to her instantly turned to ash.
One by one, orbs of fire appeared near her as they orbited around Shiro.
Narrowing her eyes, Syradil could see that they were butterflies by their wings were on fire constantly.
"Clear our these vines." Shiro ordered with a smile.
*BOOM!!!
Suddenly, all of the butterflies erupted with more energy as they rushed towards the vines. In mere seconds, an entire vine would be dried up and crumbled to ash while all of the butterflies charge towards Syradil.
Quickly backing off, she transformed once more to deal with this new threat. Sprouting another pair of wings on her back, Syradil's new form was a serpent with two sets of wings.
Disappearing from her spot, her speed increased dramatically as the butterflies lost their target.
Waving her finger for them to come back to her, Shiro had a smile on her face.
Dismissing her form, she closed her eyes as golden runes appeared on her arms.
Opening her eyes once more, the purple runes were now lit up.
Activating her skill, Time Flux, a sword appeared in her hand as golden runes lit up along the blade.
Dashing forward, the golden runes slowly turned to a deep red.
A pulse of energy erupted out of the sword as the world seem to stop in Shiro's eyes.
Spotting Syradil circling above her, Shiro didn't waste any time and jumped up.
For Chronos, she needed to use two pulses to halt his time since he was a god. But for anyone below god level, one pulse should do the trick.
Flickering behind Syradil, time started to resume as she swung her sword against Syradil's back.
Feeling the sudden spike of pain in her back, Syradil widened her eyes since she was sure that she had her eyes on Shiro. To her, she just suddenly disappeared and the next thing she knew, her back was now bleeding.
"The hell was that?" Syradil asked as she backed off from Shiro.
"A skill of mine. It's something I developed with the God of Time. Essentially, for a short while, at the low low cost of 25% of my Divine Energy and 80% of my mana, I can stop time and do whatever I want." Shiro smiled.
"The f*ck. You can stop time???" Syradil asked in disbelief as Shiro nodded her head.
Pausing for a moment, Shiro smiled.
"Oh would you look at that, I've already recovered 20% of my mana. If I wait a bit longer I'll get it all back. Ready to keep going? I still need to smack you with Divine Energy some more." Shiro asked as golden runes lit up on her arm.
