Chapter 1849: Chapter 1639: Special Training

@@@@

The following morning, the girls woke early, preparing themselves before heading to the fortress's special training grounds. Gracier, followed closely by Saeko, led the way to an expansive, isolated field known as the Grand Arena-a massive, specialized training space designed for advanced combat practice. This area was twice the size of a stadium, enclosed by towering walls inscribed with ancient runes and protective enchantments to ensure the safety of those within its borders. The field itself was made of reinforced stone, its surface resilient to even the most destructive attacks.

The Arena's layout was strategically varied, with wide open plains, simulated rough terrain, and even a section dotted with barriers and elevated platforms for tactical maneuvers. At one end, a waterfall cascaded into a small river that cut across the field, while jagged cliffs and sparse trees lined the other side, adding a layer of complexity for maneuvering during battle. Above, a magical barrier glimmered faintly in the early light, shimmering like a dome of thin glass to protect against any attacks that might soar too high.

Gracier approached a stone pedestal at the center of the field, placing her hand on it to activate the runes etched into its surface. The runes pulsed with light, responding to her touch, and a deep rumbling spread across the ground. In an instant, the field transformed as hundreds―then thousands of stone golems rose from the earth in perfect formation. Each golem was crafted with precision, resembling armored soldiers with distinct expressions and well-fitted armor. They wielded swords, spears, and shields, some even bearing banners as if to mimic an organized army.

The sheer scale of the golem army was breathtaking. They stretched across the entire arena, row after row, each unit positioned with military precision. The golems varied in size and type, with some towering over the others like giant siege warriors, while smaller, agile golems moved into flanking positions.

Saeko took a deep breath, taking in the sight of the stone battalion before them. "This feels like a real battlefield. Perfect for coordination training."

Hours passed as they continued to spar against the golems, each wave honing their precision and strengthening their unity. By the end of the session, both Gracier and Saeko were covered in a sheen of sweat, but their eyes gleamed with a fierce, determined light. The ground around them was littered with the remnants of shattered golems, and a faint haze from Gracier's lingering flames filled the air.

They knew that in the coming days, more of their allies would join them, adding to the challenges and further preparing them for the trials of war. But for now, they took pride in the progress they had made, each step bringing them closer to becoming an unstoppable force together.

"Let's rest before continuing, what do you say?"

Saeko nodded at Gracier's suggestion.

After taking a brief rest to catch their breath, Gracier and Saeko moved to the next phase of their training simulation. This time, Gracier summoned her Gift-a crimson bow glowing with an intense, fiery aura. Gracier positioned herself at the rear, focusing her aim and preparing to support Saeko from a distance.

Saeko, meanwhile, took her place at the front as the vanguard, her katana gleaming in the morning light. She held the blade with practiced ease, her stance low and balanced, ready to strike down any golems that advanced too close. Her Wind element surged around her, filling her with a sense of agility and precision that allowed her to respond quickly to any incoming threats.

With a signal from Saeko, Gracier took her first shot, drawing back her bowstring as a flaming arrow materialized in her grip. She aimed high, letting the arrow soar through the air before splitting into a dozen smaller flame shards, each honing in on different golems in a precise, coordinated strike. The arrows struck their targets with explosive force, sending shards of stone flying.
