Chapter 37: Growth
The next morning came quietly.
The girls were already up and ready. Today, Virellen wasn't wearing her usual maid uniform. Instead, she had on the training outfit Alaric bought her today when he went out—her maid clothes had taken too much of a beating.
If she kept ruining them like this, she'd run out of things to wear soon enough.
They were all set. Today's training would be harder than before.
And this time, Alaric would be attacking.
The girls, completely unaware of their grim fate, chatted happily among themselves as they prepared. They had no idea what was coming.
Alaric took them out into the Forest—a barren stretch of land that had once been a part of the Core Forest. Now, it was nothing but devastation.
Hundreds of kilometers of broken earth, massive craters gouged into the landscape, the aftermath of a violent clash between two overwhelming powers. A wasteland carved out by divine battle.
The training began.
Alaric connected them to his Divine Energy, feeding it into their bodies through invisible threads—white and pure. But they noticed something was off. Different.
He wasn't standing still anymore.
