Chapter 4334: Priceless Lessons (Part 2)

"I know I’m no Forgemaster and that without you, I wouldn’t be able to do anything. I also realize that I must sound shamelessly ungrateful to you, but I want to pass this technique on only to the members of my bloodline.

"This is the first of many pieces of the Rezar’s legacy that I’m going to build without Dawn’s instructions. I may be the only Agni on Mogar at the moment, but there will be two more when my children are born.

"Maybe three, if Salman manages to fuse his life forces. By the time the kids grow up, I want them to have something that will help them hold their ground against any opponent, no matter what life force they choose.

"Something that will make them look at their Agni side as something to be proud of, not just a weird monster to be afraid of, like my Rezar side was for me. I-"

"If you stopped talking for a moment, I would have already agreed to your request." Orion had grunted, cutting Nalrond short. "I’m already ashamed I can’t leave you, Friya, and the kids nothing but the crumbs of my family’s lands and riches just because we don’t share the same blood.

"This new crafting technique will make a perfect gift for your children, my grandchildren. The Kingdom may consider your household as just a cadet branch of the Ernas, but I think you deserve your own legacy.

"I’m more than happy to contribute to the twins’ future happiness, son, so stop apologizing and get back to work. We still have a lot to do."

"Thanks, father." Nalrond had given Orion a deep bow and didn’t talk again unless it was to suggest an improvement to their craft.

The stroboscopic light blinded Feryl the Titania, but Fae didn’t rely much on sight to deal with their enemies. Their roots dug deep into the ground whenever they took a step forward, ready to absorb nutrients and allowing them to use Earth Vision.

The technique was less precise than the Mage Knight spell, Full Guard, but had a wider range and provided more than the simple location of everything around the Titania.

It also allowed her to distinguish between allies and enemies, understand what kind of footwork they were using, and anticipate their next move.

Feryl used that information to ignore feints and predict when two or more enemies would line up, making it hard for them to dodge her attacks without messing with each other’s strategy. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

She felt the Agni shifting his weight for a lunge, and the following rumble that spread through the ground confirmed her guess.

’The moron thinks that I’m blinded and has jumped forward.’ She thought. ’I can’t sense him while he’s in mid-air, but his options are limited. He can’t use footwork, and if he flies too high, he’ll become target practice for the Golems.

’He has only one path available.’ She literally planted her forward foot in the ground and punched with her Adamant battle gloves at the point where Nalrond was supposed to move to exploit the opening in her guard.

Feryl combined Life Maelstrom and Thunder Soul to ensure that the puny Agni wouldn’t survive, bringing the number of enemies down by one. Her fists connected with something heavy and hard, but it wasn’t what she expected.

’What a moron. As if Fae and plant folks are the only ones with Earth Vision.’ Nalrond had indeed leaped forward, but away from the Titania and onto an Upyr in his league. ’I can’t face a Titania with my current skills.

’Or rather, I can take one on, but not one infused with Life Maelstrom. She’s way stronger and faster than me, and only needs one hit to turn me into mincemeat.’

’She’s fast, and Full Guard would have missed those tendrils until they emerged from the ground. By then, they would have been too close for me to dodge.’ The Skoll thought. ’Dawn was right. I can’t afford to be reckless against an opponent on my level.
