"Glug..."
Looking at the magic stones that fell from the Monsters, Tiona and Tione both swallowed their saliva.
Ais's golden eyes also flickered violently, shining as she watched Blake gracefully land from the sky.
One strike wiped out hundreds of Monsters, something even they couldn't accomplish. After all, they were warriors who had to slice down enemies one by one. In Orario, only first-class mages could do something like this.
There were very few first-class adventurers in Orario—no more than ten.
In Orario, adventurers were classified into two categories.
One was the lower-level adventurers—those who were at LV1.
More than half of the adventurers in Orario were at this level.
Thus, there was a significant gap between LV1 and LV2 adventurers, a “wall” that many could not cross. The treatment was vastly different.
To reach LV2, one had to have sufficient qualifications.
Therefore, more than 50% of adventurers were blocked by this wall.
The second category of adventurers were the middle-class adventurers.
These were LV2 and above, with the core strength needed to qualify for titles given by the gods.
Higher-class adventurers were further divided into LV3, LV4, and LV5.
Blake, who had just become an adventurer less than a day ago, had done something that even most high-class adventurers couldn’t do, something only a handful of people in Orario could accomplish! It was simply unbelievable. And the most important thing was that there was no magical aura in his attack, and it was almost instantaneous!
This was far stronger than the middle-class mages. After all, large-scale destructive magic required chanting time. In the middle of a beast wave, a mage would never have the time to chant!
"Ha, it looks like I've used up most of my energy. I'll need to control the number of sword Ki next time."
While the girls were thinking about this, Blake didn’t notice. He just exhaled deeply.
This move was a sword technique he had drawn recently from a lottery—One Sword To Rule All. It had to be said that the destructive power of this move was terrifying. Although each sword Ki was not particularly strong, the sheer number of them was overwhelming.
Furthermore, the condensing sword Ki was not the strongest aspect of One Sword To Rule All. The strongest capability was controlling the swords. If there were hundreds of real swords on the field, all controlled to fire at once, one could imagine how much the destructive power would increase.
"How can I become strong like you, Blake?"
At this moment, Ais suddenly ran over, her jade-like hand gently grasping Blake's left hand, looking at him with eager eyes.
"Uh..."
Seeing this, not only Tiona, Tione, and the still-shocked Lili froze, but even Blake was momentarily stunned.
"Ais... in terms of strength, you're probably about the same as me."
Feeling the softness of Ais's hand, Blake awkwardly spoke. The strange looks from the three girls nearby made him feel uneasy.
"I can't grow stronger for now, but I want to become stronger."
Upon hearing this, a rare sense of melancholy appeared on Ais’s flawless face. She spoke in a quiet tone, like a murmur.
"Please, teach me how to become as strong as you, Blake."
Then, Ais suddenly looked at him with hopeful eyes, the strength in her grip slightly tightening, as though reflecting her nervousness.
"...Ais, if you act like this, it’ll make him uncomfortable."
At that moment, Tione walked over with a smile and gently advised. However, the flicker of curiosity in her eyes, along with the radiant spark from time to time, suggested she was also deeply curious.
"Yeah, but Blake, that move you did earlier, what was it? It was so cool and powerful! I've never seen anything like it."
Unlike Tione, who was mature, Tiona simply asked with a smile, her eyes filled with curiosity and admiration that anyone could see.
As for Lili, she wore a conflicted expression. She didn't know whether to stay or leave. She now realized that she had acted unnecessarily.
Blake's seductive voice when he saved her still lingered in her ears... just as he had said, he was only interested in training.
"Sorry."
Ais, after being advised by Tione, became a little more aware of her actions and quickly let go of Blake's hand, bowing to apologize. She had become so eager to grow stronger that she forgot it wasn't good to casually inquire about others' secrets of strength.
"It's fine. Ais, do you want to know about the sword technique I just used?"
When Ais released his hand, Blake, slightly regretting the sensation of her skin, composed himself and spoke in a gentle tone.
"Yes."
Ais hesitated for a moment before nodding, her golden eyes sparkling with excitement.
"The sword technique I just used is called One Sword To Rule All. As for its destructive power, it condenses my strength into sword Ki, forming blades that attack in an indiscriminate, wide-range assault."
With Ais, Tiona, and Tione eagerly awaiting, Blake paused for a few seconds before explaining.
"One Sword To Rule All, what a powerful name. The sword technique has the effect of a large-scale magic spell. It's something I've never heard of."
Upon hearing this, both of the Amazon sisters exclaimed in awe.
"Blake, can you teach me... I want to... learn."
Ais bit her lip, her golden eyes shimmering like autumn water as they gazed at Blake, filled with longing. Although she knew it was inappropriate, she really wanted to learn, to become stronger. And this skill, One Sword To Rule All could clearly help her break through the bottleneck of her strength.
As soon as Ais finished speaking, Tiona and Tione froze, staring in shock at Ais, whose face was full of conflict yet also longing.
As for Lili, she also looked at Ais with a strange expression. Was this still the same noble Sword Princess she knew?
The reason why a secret technique is a secret is because it is a mystery not meant to be shared. But Ais had just openly asked to learn it. In the eyes of the three girls, this was not appropriate.
Want to learn...
Standing so close, with her golden eyes like a celestial being, and her delicate hands, which were clenched tightly due to nervousness, Blake's crystal blue eyes wavered slightly, and he felt a twinge of heartache.
This young maiden seemed to bear too many burdens.
