CHAPTER 74: TRAINING 3 — "THAT WAS INTENSE.. "

"No, I’m indeed not that powerful in my current state Zephyr.. since it is really proving rather difficult to battle using just my bodily physique alone.. " He said with a wry smile.

He further added. "I was only able to kill this Gale Wind Emerald Serpent in one shot because even though it didn’t want to underestimate me.. in the end it still did just that.. when it saw me running away from him without attackIng for a whole 40 seconds!!" He tried to explain while at the same time he landed on the ground getting off from the dead body.

He was thoroughly out of breath just within this single minute.. it only goes to show that just how low the endurance and stamina of his body was without being amplified by the magical energy.

"It really is uncomfortable.. not being able to use our magical energy at all!" Black muttered heaving a long breath, while grumbling inwardly.

"Yeah it’s really a unique experience.. " She nodded. "I have never felt this.. weird sensation that I’m feeling currently with my magical energy sealed.. in my whole short life!! ~ " Zephyr giggled with fascination as she too examined her body in curiosity.

"If this is my condition with only one battle and within just one minute.. than I don’t even want to think about what would happen after a day or two!" Black said wryly.

"And to think we have to endure this for god knows how many days.. " Zephyr added with a sigh, her expression deflating like a puffed balloon shrinking.

"Hm! These 150 days.. " Black just shook his head. He didn’t want to waste his time on pointless pondering.

"Anyway come Zephyr.. let’s move and.. explore this forest that our Master created just for us.. " He said with a dry lough.

Meanwhile Zephyr with gradual steps followed after him with a silent nod..

They moved under the dense forest canopy coming across many other magical beast and monsters after every few minutes.

Sometimes they encountered a magical beast after 10 minutes, sometimes a monster after twenty minutes nevertheless everytime they still managed to kill the creature’s rather easily.

Besides one time Black and Zephyr had to battle another magical beast right after killing a level 69 monster even so since they were going into battles alternatively and that magical beast was also at level 69 therefore it didn’t pose any threat to them.

However Black still took long 5 minutes to completely kill that magical beast since the fatigue from all there continuous battle were slowly catching up to them making it harder to battle at there full strength.

They didn’t even have time to catch there breath after completing one battle when another magical beast or a monster would launch at them attracted by the scent of blood and the high level monster and magical beast corpses.

Thereafter as time passed the battles were becoming relentless, the magical beast and monsters were attacking them like some savages, even though intelligent there beastal instincts had completely took over there minds at the sight of so many corpses that could help them immensely in there evolution.

Hours after hours passed as both Black and Zephyr continued killing the magical beast that came to them attracted by the scent of blood and the high level corpses, it was a total slaughter, a total massacre. However with time both Black and Zephyr were also getting weaker gradually since the surmounting fatigue and exhaustion was slowly consuming both there minds and bodies.

Furthermore the magical beast and monsters that came later could tell that just by looking at them therefore they tried all they could to drage there battles for as long as possible. They attacked in group, they attacked in numbers yet they were still slaughtered by the claymore Black used and the long sword that Zephyr used.

Additionally with the passage of time both Black and Zephyr too were becoming stronger although they weren’t concerned about the beast and monsters corpses however they didn’t let any transformation core be swindled from them by the relentless tide of the magical beast and the monsters that came after them.

Black had already advanced from his initial level 67 to level 68 and was also slowly nearing the next level with 90 percent of magical energy having already accumulated.

Besides Zephyr herself wasn’t far behind either since she too had also reached level 67 after all this time with so many kills of both magical beast and monsters.

...

More than five days had already passed since they were thrown into this forest by Evelynn. The land was in totally ruin, devastated and destroyed. There was nothing but monster and magical beast corpses in a two kilometers diameter, and in that area there was not a single tree standing left besides the forest ground itself was thoroughly painted in the crimson-red blood of the slaughtered creatures.

The blood had already become a small pool reflecting the sun-light and even though so much time had already passed the blood was still fresh and hadn’t dried up a single bit.

Meanwhile at the epicenter of this massacre, this destruction, this slaughter stood Black and Zephyr. The space was completely silent except the ragged breathing of the duo.

They were tired, dead tired. The battles over the past five days were relentless and continuous they didn’t have even a hours time to rest there bodies before plunging into the endless tide of magical beasts and monsters again yet still even though exhausted they had big and wide smile of satisfaction plastered across there faces.

"That was intense.. " Black uttered his voice low and even trembling. His body fatigued.

Zephyr panned her exhausted scarlett gaze at the massacre before her and mumbled in a low voice. "Indeed.. " she nodded. Her body shuddering from the exhaustion, all her strength having been thoroughly sapped by the endless battles.

At her weary voice Black finally remembered something. Therefore acting upon his thoughts he quickly summoned a luxurious and comfortable chair and placed it on the blood soaked ground, thereafter he sat upon it and again summoned two bottles of app’ile juice and said, his curled lips parting. "Zephyr.. come here ~ "

At his words she too came out of her trance and turned her weary gaze towards him.

"Wha.. " she exclaimed. "Where did you get that!!" She managed to ask in her shock.

"Luna gave it to me.. " He chuckled at her reaction. "I had totally forgotten about them in all these days.. " then He sighed. "It was not like we had time to enjoy them anyways!" A dry laugh escaping his mouth. "Come have some ~ " He invited.

Zephyr moved with enthusiasm, something that shouldn’t have been possible by how exhausted she was. "Haaah!! ~ " she moaned in delight while at the same time directly sitting upon his lap.

"Finally some relaxing time.. " she mumbled, her eyes closed, back leaned against his chest, all the while she enjoyed the cool and refreshing sensation that flooded her body replenishing her energy from her fatigued state.

Meanwhile Black simply embraced her more tightly from behind, his hands going over her slender waist. "Hmm!!" He took in her alluring scent. Sighing inwardly.

"Which level have you reached Zephyr ~ "
