Training

I equip my new armor replacing my Dark Mythos Chest and Leggings. They had given me 150 defense from the Chest and 125 defense from the Legginings and 2 MP Regen/Minute each. Once I leave my workshop I see the girls eating dinner at the table. Gaia notices me first and calls me over. Verona, Innu, Luna, Asami, and Ramia are sitting with her.

"What were you doing in there?" Luna asks as I sit down. Asami makes me a plate and I thank her.

"I was making some new armor. I decided to Enchant the Hearts into them." I say before taking a bite.

"Hearts, did you have more than one?" Verona asks and I nod.

"I had the Demon God's Heart too. I got it from a Quest reward." I say, I've already told them how my Quests work. So they don't ask for any more details. Asami tells me what kind of decorations we should get, reading a list she, Luna, Innu, Verona, Gaia, and Liz came up with.

"Eric, can I take a look at the armor you made? I'm curious how they turned out." Verona asks as I finish eating. I stand up and swap to my armor. It's similar enough to the Dark Mythos Gloves, and Boots to not look odd. She smiles and starts examining them. I'm about to swap back and unequip them when Gaia speaks up.

"Verona, it's time to go." She says causing Verona to groan.

"Where are you going?" I ask curiously.

"We're meeting with some other Light Gods. They've heard of the Demon Gods' **** and want to know what happened. That and I'm sure that they're wanting to speak to Gaia. Believe it or not, Gaia used to be pretty popular with the other Gods. One even asked her to marry him." Verona says causing Gaia to sigh.

"Yeah, yeah. Come on, we're going to be late if we don't hurry." Gaia says while placing her hands on Verona's shoulders. The two disappear and I turn to the others. Asami takes me outside and to the spring. She gives me a massage in the water, which feels divine. I end up falling asleep during it and get woken up by her shaking me. We dry off and I go to bed once I get back. As soon as I feel myself fall asleep, I wake up in Prisma's water.

"Eric, how are you feeling?" Prisma asks immediately.

"Ready for training." I reply while taking my Sword of Annihilation out.

"Good, these will be your first opponents. To stay on the safe side, we'll only do this for six minutes at a time. Remember, I can't heal you if you spend more than seven minutes with the Sword activated." Prisma warns while reaching out. Two figures sprout from the water. One is a man and the other's a woman. The man had dark brown hair and is wearing metal armor covered with Runes. He holds a sword and shield in his hands. Each is covered with Runes and I can Sense a Magic Core in each. The woman has blonde hair and wears chainmail and leather. It's dyed blue and in her hands is an odd sword. Its blade curves back and forth like a snake. It has a small blue orb on the bottom of its grip. "These two were fighters in the Lyna war. They're both very powerful."

"Is there a reason you keep using dolls of those from the Lyna wars?" I ask causing him to smile.

"Yes. During the wars, Lyna trained extensively. They had to, in order to survive. But nowadays, most Lyna only train to fight monsters, not their fellow Lyna. So they tend to be weaker, at least when fighting you. My dolls fight like the person did when they were alive. So if I made one of a Lyna who passed recently, they'd struggle to keep up with you. After all, most Lyna don't fight people, so it's better to use these dolls. But anyway, we're getting off-topic. Get ready!" Prisma says before raising his hands. I notice the two dolls he made get ready to attack. I activate the Sword of Annihilation and get ready. "Where are your Dark Boots and Dark Claws?" He asks.

"I can't use them with the Sword of Annihilation." I reply causing him to chuckle.

"Yes, you can. You can use any Passive Skill you have. Just not any Active Spells or Skills. Unless they're from the School of annihilation of course." He replies causing me to sigh. I take out my Dark Boots and Dark Claws. He swings his hand down as soon as I do. I lunge toward the man who stops in front of me. I raise my Sword and I swing for his legs, hoping he wouldn't expect it. He blocks my attack with his shield. Thanks to my increased Strength from the Sword, I knock him a few feet back. The woman jumps up behind me and I spin myself around. As I do, I swing my Sword. I use Mana Sense and Dark Sense to find where she is in the air. I cut through her waist and she turns to mist. Mist? She should've become water. This must be a Spell of hers. I think before hearing the man charge me again. This time, his sword is enveloped in lightning. I ready myself and block his sword with mine.

I feel something slam into my stomach and look down. I see the rim of his shield pressing into my chest. I cast Annihilation Energy and make a giant fist. I make it appear around him and pick him up. The moment he's in the air, the woman jumps out of the water next to me. I cast Annihilation Energy again, and make a smaller fist punch her. I need it to buy time, since the Sword's much bigger than what I'm used to. This causes a bit of a lag when I fight. Since the Sword slows me down, causing me to not be able to keep up with the movements I'm used to. The woman turns to mist, and three more appear from around me. I swing my blade through two of them. I use Annihilation Energy to punch the third one. They all turn to mist as another woman lunges out of the water. She comes from right below me, coming up between my arms. She thrusts her blade into my chest. I let go of the Sword with my left hand. I grab her blade before it cuts into me.

I headbutt her, causing her to step back. I keep a tight grip on her sword before bringing my blade down. I swing it down onto her shoulder. It cuts through her body and she turns to water.

I turn back to the man and make the hand lower him. He's struggling to break free. His body is covered in lightning and he's flailing around. I thrust my blade into his head, causing him to turn into water.

I make the Sword revert back to its pole form before turning to Prisma.
