Son of Chaos 164 Start Training

"Alright. That's enough for today. If we continue then we won't be able to practice what we came here for."

"But I still haven't managed to form the formation.", Irena protested. She had made good progress and was unwilling to stop now.

"I know. But you have made great progress and it won't be possible to finish learning it today. Besides haven't you realized how exhausted your mental energy is?"

Because of her eagerness to learn, Irena hadn't realized how exhausted she had become. Only after hearing her words did she realize that she was right. In her current state more practice wouldn't be that effective. It would be better to stop for now and then practice again after she had rested.

"Besides, I'm sure the others are exhausted as well.", Celine said while pointing at Greg who had laid down on the floor and was breathing heavily.

"Then shouldn't we rest now? Wouldn't it be as useless to train the other formations now?", Irena asked. If they were that exhausted then practice for the other formations should be less effective as well. But it seemed like Celine wanted to do it now.

"It's different.", Celine said with a smile. She was happy that Irena tried to understand and wasn't ashamed to ask if she didn't understand something. "The 'Turtle' and 'Spear' formations are basic formation that doesn't require much mental energy. Quite the opposite. They are designed to be used until the end, so training them in an exhausted state can increase the speed in which they are assimilated into reflexes. If you don't even have to think about using them, then they can make full use of.", she patiently explained.

"But if we do it this way, then wouldn't any mistake we make also get ingrained into our reflexes?", Serge asked skeptically.

"Sure, that's why it isn't usually trained this way. The risk is high and it requires someone training the group who has a good understanding of the formation. Luckily for you, I'm more than capable of doing it.", the last sentence was said with pride.

"Alright, let's do it as Celine has recommended.", Irena voiced out her decision. It showed her status as the leader, that everyone nodded and accepted her decision.

When everyone had changed into their armor, Celine once again became the center of attention. Her armor was just too spectacular. Made from black leather it clung tightly to her figure, making her look very sexy and alluring.

It also displayed a surprising amount of skin. Her shoulders were completely free and so were her belly, which would usually be heavily armored, since a wound there could be extremely dangerous. Of course, this design made it look all the better.

All in all the armor consisted of four parts. Long gloves that went up over her elbows. A top that was shoulder free and ended just below her breasts and tight pants, which clung to her legs, showing off their perfect form. Finally, it ended with black high heels, which couldn't look more unfitting for fighting.

The only thing, not black where her white skin and the golden patterns. Especially eye-catching was the golden dragon above her heart. The dragon looked the same as the one he had seen on Lara's mark and he was sure that it was there because she was his servant and had gotten the armor after the ritual.

"Wow.", Pia exclaimed, before hitting the back of Greg's head. "What are you staring at?", she angrily asked.

Greg shrugged his shoulders. He had stared at Celine with a perverted expression. "What can I do? She just looks to sexy.", he said without thinking, earning him another slap.

They weren't the only one staring, the others did so as well. "Does this armor works?", Irena asked doubtfully. The armor showed just to much skin, leaving to many parts uncovered.

Celine smiled happily at the stares. After having been an old woman for so long, she enjoyed the feeling of being young and pretty again. "Of course it does.", she responded, before explaining, "I guess you haven't seen armor of a high enough grade yet. The better the materials, the less there is a need to cover the body with it. For high-grade armor, the defense doesn't come from the material itself but the energy field generated by it. And for that, it is only necessary for the material to cover some areas. Everything else will still be covered by the field and be just as defended."

When Irena heard this, she nodded. "So that's how it is. But wouldn't it still be better to cover the free areas with some other materials to strengthen the armor further."

"If you would do that, the materials would interfere with each other and you would get something that is worse than if you leave it free. Of course, there are also materials that wouldn't interfere, but why use them when leaving them will make the armor more beautiful or in this case sexy?"

"Is that so?", suddenly a sly look appeared on Irena's face. "Then the reason your armor is so sexy..."

Without any shame, Celine directly answered, "Of course it is for Ivan." She then smiled widely at Irena. While enjoying her embarrassed look. She was still too young to tease her.

"Whatever.", Irena hurriedly changed the topic. "Greg, did you bring the shields and spears?"

"Yes.", Greg then took out simple spears and shields for them to use.

"How much did they cost? We will pay for them together.", Irena asked him.

Greg shook his head. "It's alright. These are just things left behind from a shipment of training equipment for a school. They just barely don't fulfill the standard required to be used as teaching material. And because of that nobody would buy them anyway, so I got them for free."

The others weren't familiar with the standards for teaching equipment, so Ivan asked warily, "Then can we use them for training? Wouldnt that be dangerous?"

"No.", Greg reassured them, "The standard for training equipment is quite high. They have to stand up to many training sessions and they can't break in a way that will endanger the students using them. After all, we don't wear shields all the time while training.

But to train in the dungeon they are more than enough. After all, they are still very durable and in actual combat, weapons can break anytime anyway. So the danger of them breaking is not problematic."

Hearing his explanation, the others could only agree.

Now that everyone was prepared it was time to start training.

"Ok. First, we will start on the first floor. We will then slowly work our way upwards, killing every monster on each floor, while only using the 'Basic Spear Formation' and the 'Basic Turtle Formation'. We will start with the 'Basic Turtle Formation' to herd the monsters into an area. The narrow corridors of the first floor are perfectly suited for that. Then we change to the 'Basic Spear Formation' and kill them in one fell swoop.", Celine told them the plan.

After that, they didn't hesitate and entered the first floor.

Although the corridors were narrow, they still formed a line of three people in front of the others forming another behind them. The first line was made up of Irena, Ivan, and Celine, for the beginning.

"Since we are the strongest we will start.", Celine said. "After the first round, we will switch clockwise."

"Round?"`, Greg asked confused.

"We can only use this tactic in narrow corridors but the floor also has larger open spaces. There we will need to pull the rats into the corridor and then kill them. After that, the round ends and we will switch.", Celine explained in more detail.

"Ivan take out Vlada. She can assist us from above.", she then told Ivan.

Only after her reminder did he remember that he had planned to train with Vlada as well. Blushing he hurriedly summoned her.

Luckily when she appeared she was in her smallest form, because if she had appeared in her largest form, she wouldn't have had enough space in the corridor.

Without him having to ask, Celine explained to him. "The best use of Vlada in an environment is to either harass from above or to scout. She could also try to pull the rats over."

Ivan thought for a bit and then ordered, "Vlada go look for rats and pull them here."

From his observation, Vlada was intelligent enough to understand commands like this. And for the benefit of his party members, he gave the command loud instead of using the mental connection they had.

Celine nodded satisfied. His decision was a good one. Still, there was one point she had to criticize, "Although the decision is good, the next time remember that you aren't the group leader. You should talk to Irena about it first."

"I understand.", Ivan agreed.
