DEATH… AND ME

alina had summoned over 10 Glacial Icicles at once.
Of course, Roan was able to bind all of them just as they were about to reach him.
Just how crazy was Roan ’s control over his own element to do such a precise movement? Not to mention that he was doing it while her Southern Ice Wave was active!

”If they were Water Icicles, I wouldn ’t be able to bind them. ”

Calina looked at Roan with a surprised expression.
Unsurprisingly, she quickly recovered and continued.

”I ’m not done yet. ”

Water Element began to converge as she prepared her next attack.
As long as she could keep Roan far away and her Southern Ice Wave active, Roan would eventually run out of energy.
However…

”No.
It ’s already over. ”

Roan ’s voice sounded just beside her ear, which sent a chill all over her body.
Calina tried to cast another Water Prison around herself, but it was too late.

*Bang!*

With a kick, Roan sent Calina flying out of the arena.
Calina didn ’t understand what happened.
Roan was several meters in front of her, holding the Glacial Icicles with his Shadow Bind.
But suddenly, he was behind her.
How did that happen?

”The Water Prison in reverse was a good choice.
You really forced me to retract my attack.
However, you grew complacent, certain that I had fallen into your scheme.
Because of that, you didn ’t even notice when I used my technique to fuse with the shadows and left that clone behind.
Your Spiritual Sense was focused entirely on that, leaving an opening on your back. ”

”Your mistake was not only that, but the fact that you didn ’t have a countermeasure in case you were ambushed is also a problem.
Can you guarantee that you are fighting a single enemy? You fight using Spiritual Energy Skills, no weapons included.
Naturally, you have nothing to help you defend against a sudden close-range attack.
You are also losing a good opportunity since you could use it as bait to get rid of the enemy. ”

Roan then went back to his position before saying.

”Come up again.
Your techniques are a lot more variated, so I need some time to devise something for you.
Especially since you are not a weapon user. ”

Calina gritted her teeth and got up again.
This time, she would not commit the same mistake.
Yet…

*Bang!*

She was sent flying out of the arena even faster than before.

”Are you taking me for an idiot? To think you would try to use the same Water Prison trick in front of me.
Ridiculous! ”

This time, when Calina used the Water Prison and Reverse, Roan used his Shadow Bind to lock himself in place.
Calina didn ’t think that Roan would take the Water Prison ’s Shock head-on, so she was taken by surprise once again.
That was more than enough for Roan to send her flying once more.

’What kind of monster is he? He only needs to see it once and can already make my strategy useless. ’

Still, Calina had a lot of pride as the princess of the empire.
She once again ignored the pain and went up the arena.

*Bang!*

”Again! ”

*Bang!*

”Again! ”

*Boom!*

”Again! ”

Even the girls and Julio outside were already feeling pity for her.
For some reason, Roan seemed to be paying a lot more attention to this new girl.
Well, most of them thought that it was because of her cultivation and talent, which were obviously the best between them all.
Even Amanda lost to Calina when they sparred for the first time.

It wasn ’t before Calina was sent flying seven times that she finally couldn ’t stand up anymore.
Roan really didn ’t care about genders.
He always kicked at the best possible point that would assure his victory.
That meant that even Calina ’s chests had a foot mark on it.
Well, they weren ’t that developed due to her age anyway.

”That ’s enough. ”

Calina was the last girl in the group today, so Roan came down from the arena right after.
He then went to a corner where there was a table and began to write something on a paper.
A few minutes later, he gave it to Calina.

”I ’m very sensitive to Yin Energy, so I can tell that you also rely a lot on it.
I marked here the mistakes I noticed you doing while controlling the Water Element and Yin Energy.
Also, the problems in the path of meridians that you used.
Pay close attention to it during this week.
I left a few things that I think might be of good use during your Yin Energy and Water Element cultivation.
Try to follow this training schedule and tell me next week if it worked. ”

It ’s not that Roan didn ’t want to devise training for Calina before.
However, she had told him that she needed time to recover her entire Yin Energy.
Only then would she be able to show her real potential.
Roan was waiting to see her fighting with her full potential.
He had to admit, the training she received before from the Imperial Family was quite good.

After that, Roan turned around and left.
But not before leaving a warning through Spiritual Sense Message.

’This is just the start.
If you really want to become a candidate for the throne, things will only get harder.
You better train since your life truly depends on it. ’

He would not hold back.
He could not hold back.
He will make Rean, Malaka, and Calina ’s life as hard as possible to squeeze out all of their potentials.
But it was then that he thought.

’Now that I think about it, I don ’t remember the last time Nightingale complained about training.
Oh well, that ’s even better. ’
