CHAPTER 815: CHAPTER 638: I WANT TO LEARN

Without a doubt, Reiger’s first enlightener was Ais.

His first Magic was learned from Ais.

His first sword technique was learned from Ais.

Before encountering Ais, although Reiger could also enter the underground city and fight monsters, he relied on some unremarkable combat techniques from his past life, using brute strength, experience, and overly excited emotions to recklessly battle monsters.

It wasn’t until he learned Magic and sword techniques from Ais that Reiger finally became like a swordsman, like an adventurer, no longer just a barbarian mindlessly fighting monsters.

But for the Reiger of today, the sword skills learned from Ais have already become a thing of the past.

After leaving this world, Reiger has already experienced several worlds.

In the Demon Slayer World, he learned numerous breathing styles, gaining new powers and new sword techniques.

In the continent of Akasha, he learned the Steel-breaking Sword Skill and the swordsmanship in the Holy Dragon Sword Skill, and he has sparred with many swordsmen who mastered various sword techniques, thereby learning many skills, including but not limited to the Shadow Strike Sword Skill that Reiger initially merged into his Breath of Mist.

In the world of the Overlord, he also fought with many aberrations and encountered many unique martial skills of that world through battles with numerous demons.

Even in the Fairy Country’s Britannia Lostbelt, Reiger sparred with figures like Gawain and Lancelot, who were Elf Knights, personally experiencing their slashes and power.

All these experiences, each opponent, have contributed to Reiger’s combat system.

Originally, because of the Fool’s Obsession, Reiger had an amazing growth potential and growth speed. He could learn Ais’s sword technique in just a few sparring sessions with her and fully understand the breathing styles and sword techniques of the continent of Akasha. Naturally, he could also comprehend new skills from each opponent.

Especially after awakening the Transparent World, which allowed him to perfectly observe the opponent’s muscle movement, blood flow, internal organ activity, and other phenomena, Reiger’s ability to discern skills from opponents and learn them increased several times over, leading to explosive improvement in his own combat skills and combat experience with each battle he experienced.

Thanks to this, Reiger is no longer the newbie swordsman who merely used Ais’s sword skill, but an advanced swordsman who has integrated numerous sword skills, numerous techniques, numerous strategies into one, refining and simplifying them, and even incorporating his own style and inclinations, forming his own system.

His sword skills have been completely transformed. Although a faint shadow of Ais’s sword techniques can still be seen, it is merely a part of Reiger’s combat skills.

His current combat skills are even superior to those of veteran adventurers like Finn and Grace, who have been through hundreds of battles.

While Ais is strong and her sword skills sharp, in terms of combat skills, combat experience, and combat quality, she is still significantly inferior to the older generation like Finn and others.

Therefore, in this sparring session, even though Reiger only used abilities equivalent to when he had just advanced to Lv.5, with aspects like "strength," "endurance," "dexterity," and "agility" displaying no difference from when he had just reached Lv.5, his advanced abilities in combat techniques, combat experience, and combat quality still allowed him to suppress the newly advanced Lv.6 Ais.

"If you think I am still the same as before, you’ll suffer a big loss, you know?"

Reiger’s smiling words were something Ais only truly understood now.

The Lv.5 Reiger, using his superhuman skills, bridged the power gap of an entire level, forcing back the Lv.6 Ais!

This fact stunned all those peeking at the sparring session.

Ais completely lost her composure.

(Have I... been surpassed by him again?)

Though unbelievable, Ais couldn’t help but admit this fact.

Unfortunately, Ais didn’t know...

"It’s too early to be surprised now."

Opposite her, Reiger suddenly collected his smile.

"The main event is just about to begin."

Saying this, the atmosphere surrounding Reiger changed.

"Inhale—exhale—"

He stood there naturally, his demeanor calm, but his breathing rhythm suddenly changed, his head lowered, taking in a large amount of oxygen and sending it into his lungs.

"Exhale—"

The wind blew again, sweeping through the courtyard of the Dusk Pavilion, yet as if attracted by something, it seemed, coincidentally, to swirl around Reiger and even wrap around his body.

Seeing this scene, Ais had an intense reaction.

"...[Wind Spirit Swift Walk]?"

Did Reiger use Magic?

This thought had just flashed through Ais’s mind before she dismissed it.

No, that’s not my Magic, that’s not [Wind Spirit Swift Walk].

Although it seemed similar, Reiger didn’t chant the spell of [Wind Spirit Swift Walk], nor was there a sense of Magic being activated. The gust of wind was not summoned by supernatural powers but was a natural wind that, for some reason, ended up surrounding Reiger.

"Reiger, you..."

Feeling some unusual but absolutely extraordinary change happening in Reiger, something she couldn’t identify, Ais couldn’t help but want to say something.
