Chapter 137 - 54. Combat Training
The sun of Saint Nali in the summer could be succinctly described with the words "blistering" and "harsh."
On usual days, if it rained, countless clouds would float in the sky, shielding people living below from the scorching sunlight. However, unfortunately, on the day Mr. Fisher began his training, such treatment wasn’t available, and thus the unobstructed sunlight stabbed directly at his already heavy-feeling skin.
Under the sun, drops of sweat twisted down along the contours of his muscles. He frowned slightly in discomfort, gripping very tightly onto the hemp rope in his hands knotted to various items that looked heavy in the stable before, such as a millstone and a wooden trough.
Mr. Fisher was pulling these objects around in the yard, his body illuminated by activated demon magic, making his body groan in protest.
But Elliog, lying on the stable roof, didn’t show an ounce of sympathy. He even looked somewhat unsatisfied with Mr. Fisher’s condition,
"The pace needs to increase, otherwise, the deceleration effect of the magic becomes useless, right?"
Mr. Fisher kept silent, mustering all his strength to drag the heavy items behind him forward. His robust muscles outlined with effort as he maintained the pace for several more rounds before finally throwing the hemp rope to the ground and gasping as he rubbed his shoulders.
Sweat dripped down, making Fisher feel extremely hot and irritated, a suffocating, unpleasant heaviness welled up in his chest, making him feel intensely warm.
Elliog stroked his chin, surveying Fisher, clearly noticing his condition but didn’t speak first. Instead, he touched his chin and pointed outside,
"It’s about time you moved over there a bit, you must be feeling quite sore now, next you’ll need to completely exhaust your strength. The first training session is slightly more intense mainly because your body has been dormant for too long, it needs some vigorous awakening. Afterwards, we can decrease the intensity a bit, combined with my magic, it seems to work quite well."
