Chapter 870: Holy Power

Pov Athena:

"< Shadow Blade > 2" (I)

"< Shadow Stalker >" (I)

I was in the middle of a fight against 2 Jungle Ambushers, they are beings with bodies similar to large 2 meters wolves apparently without a head where it should be, but having 3 beast heads at the end of 3 long tails capable of unleashing attacks of Poison-type breath.

I use my Blade of Sombra to cut one of his legs with 2 attacks making him lose his balance while a copy of me attacks from the front, meanwhile, I'm behind.

Once the monster's attacks destroy my shadow copy, I have an opening to get close enough to slash my sword through the base of the tails where I dig into the monster's brain.

During its death its true mouth opens letting out a death scream, the heads are decoys to hide the true mouth that extends from the back to the belly of the monster.

"I still can't use it efficiently, I always feel this delay in energy circulation." (I)

"You'll get better, using the shadow element is hard, it took me a long time to master it and my sister still has issues with it." (Irius)

We were inside one of the Dungeons of the attacked city, my new mother accepted the Guildmaster's request after Patriarch Zenos' approval.

"Should we really forget about our mission?" (I)

"It's not a quest, it was a request from the Guild Master to explore and investigate, we have no reason not to take this time to train." (Irius)

"Then why am I the only one training here?" (I)

"Because you're strong enough to train alone, your fighting style actually doesn't suit group coordination very well." (Irius)

"I was trained since I was a child to lead, so I have to adapt to different groups." (I)

"It just means that you adapt to a group with good coordination, you identify the weak points of a group and go there, your subordinates have already told me that." (Irius)

"That's why group training is still far away for you, let's look for the next monster, and this time fight only with Shadow magic." (Irius)

Pov Zenos:

<[ Understanding and mastery of Holy Power achieved ]>

<[ Your Holy Power will be flowing to your Familiars from now on ]>

.

.

<[ Your Holy Power will be flowing to your Dragon Priestess (Karina) now ]>

"..." (I)

I suddenly feel like a barrier has been destroyed within my body, I can feel the holy power within me flowing to my Familiars through my connection with them, the same goes for Karina who is my Dragon Priestess.

The energy is flowing to them, but it's not like it's being sucked out of me, it's more like I'm a source from which sacred power flows like a river to them without emptying the lake from which it originated that is me.

"Looks like it's finally over, I was wondering if I should start calling you." (Natasha)

"What...why is it dark?" (I)

I look around realizing that it was already night, more precisely dawn, I don't understand how this happened in just a few minutes.

"You've entered a state of understanding, I don't know how much time has passed, but you've been standing in the same place for hours." (Natasha)
