Chapter 229: Training with All-Seeing Eyes
Today, I"m trying to improve my Divine Vision.
We"re in Monsters World today, and I found the nest of All-seeing Eyes.
Although it"s called nest, each All-seeing Eye lives a bit distance from each other. They are monsters that live individually. They don"t need to gather in a group. So when I encounter one, I don"t need to worry about other All-seeing Eyes.
Fighting them is so easy. I can"t believe I almost lost my hand when I fought one before. I guess it"s thanks to my Divine Vision I got from them. As a thanks, I"ll kill three of you today!
I"m much faster and stronger than in the past, so I can defeat them without the help of burning them anymore. And each monster, it took less than five minutes to defeat them. Of course, each time I fought one, I"m more experienced in handling them and the time it took is shorter and shorter.
After I finished defeating three of them one by one, I turn my head toward everyone I brought here.
"See? That"s easy, right?" I said.
""No way in h.e.l.l!""
Shelia and Angela both shouted at the same time.
"We can"t predict their moves like you do!"
"And they have too many tentacles as well! It"s difficult to dodge them!"
Both of them protested.
During this journey, I"m bringing Angela, Sophie, Lina, Shelia, and Jack and five other Werewolves who were supposed to go training.
This type of monsters is a good opponent for the Werewolves. They usually fight only by instinct, but since their opponent will be able to predict their movements, they have to think about the moves they need to make. Though it seems like they are unable to do it by following my example.
"I"m not asking you to do exactly as I did. That"s impossible for your current strength. You can fight in a group first. Fighting one on one against them is impossible."
I said as I split the Reizpear in put the pieces in my pocket. I started calling this self-repair spear, Reizpear since the day Grandpa Werewolf told me about his uncle name. I also stopped calling it Uncle Spear anymore. Glory to my naming sense!
I brought the Werewolves because that"s what I planned from the start. As for Angela, she was interested in defeating one All-seeing Eye alone. Of course I won"t let her do that yet. But I think she will be able to do it on her own later.
As for Sophie, even though she hated fighting, she still wants to get stronger and thought that it might be a good idea to follow me. And it will be safe for her as well since I will protect her.
Sophie would only training when she"s with other girls or me. Unlike the others who also want to get stronger on their own. But that"s fine. At least she wants to get stronger on her own will and not because anyone is forcing her to do it.
I never force anyone to get stronger. Of course it would be great if everyone is strong, but if they don"t want to fight, they can choose to stay behind like Ruby and Penny. Taking care of the house is also another way to support us.
As for Lina, her summoning element has already reached intermediate level! And now she can make a contract with another monster!
Sunny has also become bigger. She can walk and stand straight on her own! She even started to run! She used her vines, roots, and branches to help her do it. And her Seed throw is also stronger now.
The reason I brought Lina is to find a monster for her. And to my surprise, she wanted to have an All-seeing Eye as her next contracted monster!
I mean, that thing is just tentacles attached to an eyeball! It"s creepy! Why would someone wanted to have it as her summon?
At least their Divine Vision is useful. If it can communicate with Lina on what it sees, then our group will get even stronger.
Seems like Lina thought so since she knows what my Divine Vision can see. Then she decides that it"s a good idea for her to get another one with the same power. And I think it"s the first time ever that someone have All-seeing Eye as their summon. Though I need to have her make a contract first.
It"s difficult since most All-seeing Eyes will be hostile as soon as we are on their sight. No matter how I raise my hands and say "I come in peace", they won"t listen and just attack us.
So, we decided to do it like a tamer. Attack them until near death, then force a contract on them. Victoria said that it"s just like some pocket something, but let"s ignore her.
We have encountered three All-seeing Eyes, but they are killed by me alone to improve my Divine Vision. Now the next one will be for the others" training, and won"t be killed.
"So… the next one will be fought by the magic group plus Shelia." I suggested.
"Me too?"
"Since you will fight with us more often, I need you to get used in cooperating with the others. We will also try to fight an opponent with just the two of us later. But for now, it"s to get you used with magic first. Then after that, it"s the Werewolves turn to defeat an All-seeing Eye. We can practice our teamwork later as many times as we want."
And so, I went looking for another All-seeing eye.
Good thing the girls train their body as well. Although their speed can"t keep up with mine and the Werewolves", they have a lot of stamina that they didn"t break a sweat when we reach the monster.
As I instructed, only Angela, Lina, Sophie, and Shirley fought. Though Victoria wanted to join as well, so it will be five on one.
Their strategy was quite simple. Lina would summon Sunny and Sunny will restrain the monster"s tentacles with her vine while shooting seeds from her sunflower-like head. But the All-seeing Eye has more tentacles than Sunny can take. That"s where Victoria and Shelia come in. Victoria would protect everyone from the rest of the tentacles, while Shelia would attack the eyeball and cut off the tentacles with her claws.
Sophie would use lightning magic to paralyze the monster, and Angela is the finisher. I wonder why no one in the past managed to defeat that thing before? It seems quite easy with this lineup.
After Angela uses her magic, the All-seeing Eye doesn"t seem to be hurt much, but it became scared of us. I think Angela used her full power, but this monster still manages to survive that attack? It must have good magical resistance.
Though it"s a good thing that this monster is afraid of us. Now it"s a chance for Lina to make a contract with it.
"Lina, you can do it!" I cheered for her success.
I and the others are surrounding the scared eyeball so it won"t be able to escape. But since it might still be able to escape by seeing a gap between us, I grabbed one of its tentacles so it won"t be able to move far.
"Contract!" Lina used her contract magic to the All-seeing Eye monster.
The monster was panicked at first, but seeing how it can"t escape from my restraint, it gave up and willingly become Lina"s summon.
After the contract was made, I release my restraint, and the monster run to hide behind Lina"s back. Hey, I didn"t partic.i.p.ate in fighting you before. So, why are you afraid of me? Maybe it watched me defeated the previous All-seeing Eyes so it"s afraid of me.
"As long as you obey Lina, I won"t harm you in any way." I said to the scared eyeball.
Seems like it understands me and no longer hides behind Lina.
Well, that take cares of two things already. Making the mage groups defeat one, and getting a new monster for Lina. The monster is a bit creepy, but it should be very helpful in our future fights.
After that, Lina and Sophie decided to return home first by using Lina"s portal. She also wanted to introduce her new monster to the other. So it"s only me, Angela, Shelia, and Jack"s group.
I found the next All-seeing Eye already, and let Shelia, Jack, and the Werewolves to fight it on their own without magic.
This battle seems to be more difficult than before, but after about one hour, they managed to kill the monster. They all look so happy for being the first in their tribe to defeat that thing.
Shelia"s teamwork with the others has increased. I think she"s very good in adapting with the others.
So, the next one is for Angela herself to defeat All-seeing Eye.
She has a lot of problem when she fought it alone, so I let Shelia help her. The two managed to bring down the monster. It will still be a while until Angela can defeat it on her own.
I guess that"s the end of today"s training. I brought Angela home while Shelia wanted to stay here for a while longer. She seems to still have a lot of stamina to continue and want to join Jack and the others in their training. I"ll let her do whatever she wants until next time I summon her.
