Chapter 1037: The Next Step.
Haruna and Morgana attacked Victor from both sides, but Victor dodged with minimal effort and countered with his arms, sending the women flying.
Haruna quickly positioned herself in the air and kicked behind her to propel herself toward Victor. Hand and katana met, and the crisp sound of two metallic clashes was heard.
Haruna swiftly moved back and changed her position. Using her feet, she attacked Victor, aiming at his face, but Victor defended again, grabbing her leg, pulling her towards him, and punching her stomach while sending her flying toward Morgana.
He did all this while maintaining his stance, using only his right arm as a means of attack.
"Perfect coordination, but your attacks leave too many openings."
"No, they don't. They leave openings for you, Victor," Haruna said.
"As a stronger opponent in every way, any attack would seem like an opening to you," Morgana grumbled as she returned to her position.
"Maybe..." Victor smiled. "But that doesn't change the fact that you left too many openings. Or will you use that excuse against a stronger enemy in the future?"
Both grunted and took their stances, Haruna holding her katana in front of her and Morgana with her claws.
Although Morgana knew how to use weapons, she always preferred to fight with her claws and fists. She was a close combat specialist for a reason.
"Come at me without holding back," Victor said as he gestured for them to approach.
The two snarled and immediately attacked him again.
Scathach and Rose, who had been watching the two women for a few hours, merely observed them with evaluative looks. Even though they wanted to intervene now to make Victor pay for his annoying words, joining in the fight with Haruna and Morgana would be counterproductive since they would end up hurting the two women accidentally.
Hours passed again, and the women just watched Victor 'teach' Morgana and Haruna. Both clearly improved, becoming stronger in Technique and Power, but as they grew stronger, Victor also did not stand still.
After all, the Master also learned by teaching his Disciples, even if the pace of the Master wasn't as quick as that of the Disciples. The simple fact that he learned something and added to his experience was very significant.
Sounds of thunder occurred as Victor defended with just one hand against Morgana's attacks.
"Very good, you're using your body correctly."
Morgana attacked with her right hand and then with her legs. The attack hit Victor's face but did no damage.
Victor looked in a specific direction and saw that her lower half was wet, then he smiled and said, "Heh~, what a perverted Demon."
Morgana just displayed a predatory smile and attacked him, trying to choke him with her two thick thighs.
"I won't lie. Normally, this would have worked on me; after all, it's the scent of my Wife, but..." Victor said as Morgana writhed and moaned.
Victor assumed a Martial Arts stance, lowering his center of gravity, placing his left hand behind his back, and pointing his right arm at the two women.
"Come."
Scathach and Rose's looks sharpened.
In the blink of an eye, the two disappeared and attacked Victor, who made no effort to dodge the attacks. Using his own Martial Arts, Victor deflected both attacks as he defended Rose's attack with his right hand and Scathach's attack with his legs. A crisp sound, as if two metallic objects were colliding, echoed across the land, and in the next moment, Scathach and Rose stepped back from Victor with shocked looks on their faces.
The reason for their shock was that they were both using their Grandmaster Martial Arts, but still, no noticeable damage was caused to Victor. Even though they weren't using their abilities, which had greater destructive power, Victor suffered no damage while using only Martial Arts, which left the two incredulous.
"Heh..." Victor looked at his arm and saw minor damage as if a mosquito had bitten his skin.
'Maybe I really have underestimated my own resilience.'
[Please, Darling, even though Grandmaster Arts are capable of even cutting Gods and cutting Concepts if practiced enough, you are above all that. Not to mention that all Martial Arts, no matter how strong they are, depend a lot on their hosts. Although Rose and Scathach are insanely strong by the standards of other Gods, you are a greater anomaly than them.] Roxanne explained with disdain on her face.
[The simple fact that they can inflict a small injury equivalent to a mosquito bite on your body greatly proves their strength. Kali, Scathach, and Rose are definitely strong women, as expected of my Sisters.] Roxanne nodded in satisfaction.
Victor laughed. He was sure that if the aforementioned women heard what Roxanne said, they would pierce Roxanne with a skewer.
Even though this whole situation was fun, Victor couldn't help but look solemn as he looked at the mosquito bite on his body that had already healed: "I've become this strong, huh..."
Even though they both weren't using the Grandmaster Techniques they both developed, the mere fact that he could withstand an attack that would make even God Kings break out in a cold sweat, proved how far he'd come.
Rose and Scathach didn't stop. The two immediately started attacking. First, Scathach used her Spear to try to pierce several areas on Victor's body, using thrusting Techniques.
Victor simply dodged each one of them. Even if his body could withstand the attack, he shouldn't get into the habit of receiving the blow. If he could dodge, he should dodge. If you couldn't dodge, then block. That was the lesson Scathach herself taught him.
Every piercing attack that Scathach missed caused small holes in the Space behind Victor, visibly proving how strong her pure Martial Art were.
Victor, Rose, and Scathach weren't using their Powers, as all they were using were their powerful bodies and Martial Arts.
"Tsk." Scathach moved away from Victor. As she took her Spear and performed a throwing Technique, her arm visibly became more defined. The next moment, she threw the Spear towards Victor.
Victor dodged the attack, and the next moment, Scathach appeared where the Spear was thrown, picked up the Spear again, and threw it towards Victor.
This action was repeated several times, creating subsequent images that appeared as if Scathach was creating clones of herself.
"...You know you won't land a hit, right?"
"And who decided that?" Several voices that sounded like Scathach were heard.
