Chapter 115: Training with Nova
Nova shattered the sword with just her breath and sealed her stats to Evan’s level as well.
“It’s hard to even stand, but it will be interesting now. Lyra, stay out of this for a while; you might be hurt; I do not want to see my precious little sister getting hurt, can I?”
Nova turned to Lyra and with a smirk on her face, told Lyra.
She then turned to Evan and said, “You got the demonic transformation from mother, right? But I feel you still don’t know how to use it properly. Let me show you how.”
Then suddenly, two pairs of bat wings appeared from her back, her eyes turned red deeper than blood, two pairs of horns dark blood in color, and two fair pointy fangs grew up from her mouth.
The aura around her also began to change and the whole arena was covered by aura.
“A demonic transformation of a demon gives them a special ability related to their race. For Mother, as a succubus, her ability from demonic transformation is life absorption; she can suck the life energy of anyone around her and kill them without moving her fingers at all. For me, as a vampire, my ability given by my transformation is blood manipulation, I can even control the blood inside someone and kill them all. Lyra has yet to go through a demonic transformation, but I can predict what her race is, even though she hides it from me.
“But for you… it’s hard for me, I even thought that you might not even be a demon when you were born. You are an incubus because of Mother; I am also a succubus with that logic, and you are a vampire because I turned you into one. But what’s your race? Do you have any idea about that? You can transform as a demon, but even after seeing your transformation, I can’t predict your race.”
Evan also didn’t have any answer for that; he knew he was an incubus, or at least a part of him was; from his memories and the confirmation from Nova, he knew he was a vampire as well, but what was his actual race?
‘What am I?’
[Host, don’t think too much about this. That’s because you are just a vessel; you do not have any race. You were not given one.]
‘What do you mean by that?’
[You are incomplete, host. That’s all I can say for now as to why you are like this, even though I am not sure. But that, in a sense, is good.]
‘Then my ability is ‘unknown’. Do I have it as an ability or is it unknown because I do not have one?’
[That’s your ability… I am pushing myself to my limit for this, but you will know your ability on the 50th floor. That’s it, host. Please do not ask me further, it might have consequences for me.]
‘Okay…’
Evan said and went silent. It was a strange and weird feeling for him that he did not know about himself. If that is so, then what is the meaning of his life at all, it’s always that he can’t know it yet, but why? Is it so much for him to know about himself? Or would the world end if he knew about himself?
‘It’s still the same.’
He felt his life hadn’t changed even now; he didn’t know about his ability or himself before, and that was the same for now as well… he had just gotten a bit stronger. He became normal, that’s all.
A sudden feeling of rage filled his heart; he gritted his teeth and decided to transform into a demon as well.
His dark horns protruded from his head, and a pair of thick and majestic wings appeared from his back that covered almost half of the arena. His body also began to change; his height grew, his muscles strengthened, and dark scales covered his entire body.
He looked like a real demon now.
“Come at me…” Evan said, his voice was heavy and deep.
He then swung his wings and lunged him lr toward Nova.
Nova also did the same, but she was calm. She was more proficient in using and controlling her demonic transformation.
They both threw their hands at each other. Their punch collided with each other and both of them were sent flying in opposite directions.
“Hmm… your transformation gives you an edge in strength, with just your stats at 1, You can use it as such; it’s impressive.”
Nova complimented after she clashed with Evan. Her hand was trembling with the impact just now.
‘His scales are harder than steel, it’s good that I have regeneration.’
On the other hand, Evan wasn’t unharmed as well, Nova used her blood manipulation at the end of their clash and ruptured the blood veins in Evan’s hand. His arm nearly fell off from that.
‘It’s still not enough. I have so many skills than her and she almost took my arm with just a touch. I will have to be more focused.’
Evan then covered his whole body in his demonic flames, his scales tired even darker, and fumes of demonic flames came out from his scales. He looked more menacing than before.
“So, you are finally getting serious huh? But you are not the only demon here… let me do it too…”
Like Evan, the same demonic flames covered her body, but it had a hint of red color in it; she was using her blood to make it more potent.
“Again…”
With that, they both clashed again…
Bang…
But this time, they both didn’t stop with just one. They threw their punches as much as they could.
Nova continuously destroyed Evan’s hands, but he regenerated them again and again. Slowly, Evan became accustomed to her blood manipulation, and her ability began to stop working.
Evan’s eyes, which were blue at first, turned red. He was using his hidden ability as well. He was a vampire, so like Nova, he could also manipulate his blood.
After several clashes, they both flew back to their original places.
[I am going to count just your stats and the ability you possess to judge your current use of strength, not what is yet to awaken. With that, you have used 100% of all your stats. With just 1 stats, you can win against someone with 10 stats each.]
[All of your stats have turned to 2. You can move more freely host.]
Evan felt much lighter now, just a single increase in his stats made him feel the actual difference in stats that he has ignored till now.
Nova felt the change in Evan and commented,
“Are you going to increase your stats now? It seems you know how much you can fight with a single stat, and I have to say, you surprised me. I have to increase my stats in our clash just now to keep up with you; this will make it more fun. Now, ready for the second round…”
Evan smirked at her and said, “Gladly.”
With a *swish*, they both once again engaged in their clash, but this time it was just punches; they began to use their muscles and try to dodge each other while also trying to outsmart each other.
Lyra, who had been watching them from the sidelines, couldn’t believe her eyes. She couldn’t imagine ever fighting like them.
They had been bleeding from their hands but regenerating again and again, and there was no pain in their faces. And their strength… how can it be like this?
‘They are both monsters. Can I win against even one of them?’
She began to doubt herself. Evan, who just wanted to get stronger for his loved ones, and Nova, who had been trained to become a war machine, their fight was something she couldn’t understand.
Once she also has a reason to get stronger, she will understand how they are fighting like this.
They continued this for a long time; hours passed, and they were still fighting, enjoying their clash with each other.
Their battle turned more ferocious with each passing time. They became perfect in using their skills and abilities.
[Your stats have reached 9.]
‘He is getting more and more better. I am so proud of my little brother. Show me more…’
Their battle began to send waves of dusty air, but they still didn’t stop.
Celestina Mizuki and Anna also arrived at the arena and were shocked to see them like that.
The arena was filled with the noise of the swing of their wings and their punches.
Then, Evan suddenly launched his skill, ‘Infernal Tempest.’
He sent it toward Nova at its full speed, and it exploded right in front of her face.
