Chapter 8: Slashing
Looking at the faint milky white halo in the palm of his right hand, Twilight pressed it against the redness and swelling of his left arm, and as time passed, the original redness and swelling gradually recovered.
This is the low-level healing light that Twilight learned some time ago, although it is low-level, but in fact, as long as the magic is enough, it is an intermediate healing light, a high-level healing light, and even a legendary level, because this skill is a property application of the light element.
It took a lot of time for Twilight to learn it, and although he couldn't heal any big injuries because his magic power was only E-rank at the moment, it was at least a big help for his current training, at least he didn't have to go home with scars and ask his mother to help him heal.
"Your Highness, your mastery of the shield is already a beginner, and I will teach you how to use the knife next." Granus was still so indifferent.
During this time, Twilight has been learning how to use the shield, including shield blocking and slamming, as well as various techniques for unloading.
As for Charge, there really isn't much to teach Charge, Twilight is more about how to be firm in his beliefs, which is why Charge is the first skill every fighter learns, not only because of the simplicity, but also because it is the key to knowing how to become a fighter.
"Uncle Granus, I'm all ready here." Jia Lan walked over slowly and said softly.
"Your Highness, please come with me, I have prepared a special training ground for you." Granus made a gesture of please, and walked straight in the direction Garland had come. Twilight Star glanced at Garan with a little curiosity, and then followed.
"Garland, what exactly have you prepared?" On the way, Twilight asks Garland with a curious expression.
"It's specially prepared to help His Highness train his sword skills, Your Highness will know when you arrive." Garan said mischievously with a smile.
"Hmph, don't talk about it, I'll see for myself." Regarding Jialan's secrecy, Twilight turned her head unhappily and said, Jialan just stuck out her tongue mischievously, and didn't take Twilight's reaction to heart, after getting along for so long, she had already figured out Twilight's character, how could she really be angry about such a trivial matter.
Twilight and Garland followed Granus slowly through the woods, as they got closer to their destination, Twilight seemed to hear something, his perceptual talent was still there, the distance was getting closer, Twilight heard clearly, it was the sound of a waterfall.
Twilight Star walked out of the forest, and sure enough, he saw a waterfall about 30 meters high, the torrent was constantly falling from the height, like a shining crystal curtain, the water hit the shore stones and stirred up thousands of splashes, the water mist was misty, the sound was like thunder, and a large number of stones were neatly placed on the shore.
"This is the training ground for me?" Twilight's dark eyes looked at the waterfall in amazement, and said with a look of surprise.
"That's right, I took a lot of effort to prepare those stones, and this is a holy place, so I can't let other clansmen help, so I can only move them slowly." Garland said with her hands behind her back and a grin.
"Thank you then." Twilight thanked her for her status among the elves, and it was a bit embarrassing for her to do so much rough work for her training.
"It's my honor to be able to help Your Highness." Garland smiled happily.
"Garland, your usual training is too little, I heard that you want to become the guardian of Your Highness? You can't just rely on your current strength. Granus turned his head and said lightly.
"But people have worked hard!" Jia Lan pouted and said dissatisfied.
"It's not enough, your talent is very good in the past dynasties, but you are about to become an adult, but you only have the strength of an intermediate professional, too weak, with this strength alone, why should you guard the safety of Your Highness." Granus said mercilessly and bluntly.
Hearing Granus's words, Twilight Star glanced at Garan in surprise, but she didn't expect that Garan, who was usually inconspicuous, was already an intermediate professional? That's at least D-class strength, but how old are elves? In fact, Jia Lan is usually lazy, otherwise for such a long time, with the talent of the elf royal family, it should not only be the strength of an intermediate professional.
"But uncle, you also said that you are about to become an adult, that is, you are not yet an adult, how can you do high-intensity training without an adult, I have been studying nature magic very hard recently." Garland grabbed Granus's arm with both hands and coquettishly.
"Hmph, that is, you didn't start working hard until Your Highness was born, and I don't know when the tradition of not being able to do high-intensity training as an adult was formed, it's really a delicate rule! According to today's statement, our ancestors had been fighting against all kinds of legendary monsters since they were young, and the reptiles were driven out of the mountain range at that time, and I have already touched the threshold of high-level professionals at your age. Granus said mercilessly.
"Uncle, you are the genius of our clan, the top genius of the Yuyue family, the legendary weapon master, compare yourself to me, won't your conscience hurt? Let's hurry up and arrange for His Highness to train, it's not too early. Garland blinked her big watery eyes and said coquettishly, trying to change the subject.
"Hmph, your talent should be stronger than mine, it's just that you've been lazy all the time, and sooner or later you'll understand the pain of not having strength, and you'll regret it." Granus snorted again in dissatisfaction and began to arrange Twilight's training, but the worry in his eyes that no one could detect betrayed his heart, although he seemed very cold and impersonal, but in fact, he still cared about Garlan in his heart.
Granus then began to teach Twilight how to use the long knife, for a weapon master, most of the weapons are proficient in them, and they will learn almost all of them, and there will inevitably be their own commonly used weapons that can achieve the mastery of a generation of grandmasters. While the Blade wasn't the best weapon Granus could use, it was certainly one of the weapons he mastered, and teaching Twilight was enough for now.
"Your Highness, the first training I arranged for you is to chop stones, although I am not an environmentalist madman like a druid, but as an elf born from nature, it is also my rule not to destroy nature, and for your current physical fitness, chopping wood stakes can really play a limited training role, so I arrange for you to chop stones." Granus walked to the river with Twilight and pointed to the rocks.
"My current physical fitness shouldn't be good, can I chop these stones?" Twilight Star was puzzled by this, although his current physical fitness may be six or seven times that of humans on Earth, but the environment has changed, under different air pressure and gravity, the density and hardness of matter are different, not to mention that this is the High Demon World, and the hardness of various substances is unimaginable.
"It's because strength alone can't destroy it, so it can play a role in training, and if you can cause damage with strength alone, then how can you train your skills? One force down ten will be a road, but what if you master a powerful skill on top of one force down ten times? When skill and strength are perfectly combined, that is the real strength. Granus explained.
"So what do I do now?" Twilight asked.
"Keep chopping! Swing the knife more times, you will naturally be able to master enough power skills, but now I want to teach you how to hold the knife, how to swing the knife so as not to hurt yourself, I have to say, your vision is very good, this wide blade long straight knife is very suitable for slashing, and because of the wide blade, its already strong swing ability has been strengthened again, and it has become sharper, if this is not a training knife but a real combat weapon, Even with the lowest level of weapons, you can barely cleave small rocks with its sharpness. Granus sighed.
Twilight spent a lot of time with Granus learning how to hold a knife and what to look out for when wielding it, and then it was time for the internship.
"Ding~~" Twilight Star slashed at a stone in front of him that was half as high as he held the knife with both hands, and with a crisp sound, a white mark appeared on the surface of the stone, and the long knife was bounced back, if it hadn't taken a lot of time to learn to hold the knife before, this time the long knife would have flown out, but Rao was so, Twilight's hands were also numb by the force of the shock.
"Hmm~" Twilight shook his numb hands, and then a burst of white light appeared on his hands to heal slightly, and then he picked up the long knife beside him again and slashed it with both hands.
Time passed slowly under Twilight's constant swing of the knife, and Granus had been standing quietly with his hands folded and watching Twilight train, Garland had left here at some point, and he didn't know where to go, probably to train in natural spells.
"Huh~~~" I don't know how many knives he wielded, Twilight put down the long knife for training weakly, and sat down on the edge of the stone with a tired face, the quality of the training weapons prepared for him by these elves is still good, except that it is not sharp enough, the others are very good, Twilight Star has been cutting stones with this knife for so long, and there is not even a gap in the knife edge, which shows that it is strong.
"Your Highness, now is the perfect time to nourish your body with magical power." As Twilight sat on the ground rubbing her arms and shoulders, gasping for breath and resting, Granus' voice suddenly rang out.
"Okay, I see." Twilight nodded helplessly, then closed his eyes and began to concentrate on mobilizing the magic in his body, just now Granus said that he was recuperating, not tempering, this is another use of magic power.
