Chapter 57: Intent
Azrael spent the remaining days polishing his swordsmanship with Ashara’s help. Aside from practicing swordsmanship, he simply spent time with Kael and the others and didn’t engage in anything else.
Days passed, and now only two days remained before the opening of Eonrift.
Inside the training room, Ashara guided Azrael as he attacked a training dummy using Fallen Star. The sword was covered in a layer of cosmic energy, and each time it struck the dummy, the dummy glowed with a red light, indicating that every one of his strikes was fatal.
Azrael continued to strike the dummy for nearly an hour, maintaining perfect control over the cosmic energy to ensure it enveloped the sword the entire time.
After one hour, he had used up almost all of his cosmic energy and finally stopped. He panted heavily and wiped the sweat off his face.
Ashara walked over upon seeing him stop and gave a nod.
"You have pretty much learned everything you can for now. If you want to learn advanced swordsmanship, you will need to increase your level—your current body won’t be able to handle it."
Azrael nodded at her words, as he could feel it too that this was the limit of his body. The more advanced sword techniques placed immense strain on the user, and he wasn’t yet strong enough to endure it.
Ashara looked at Azrael for a few seconds before speaking again.
"I wasn’t actually planning to tell you about this, since it’s something only those at the Legend rank (level 51 to 100) and above can learn, but from what I have seen so far, you might be able to comprehend it before reaching that level."
