Tensura: The Abyss Demon

Chapter 24

Argent's POV:

I spent my time training with Veldora during the century while I waited for Veldanava to finish the physical body I would inhabit.

One thing I've figured out is that, Veldora might actually be a prodigy.
Although, he is quite childish at times, he is actually very nice. Someone I can count on........well not anytime but from time to time.

All the time we've been together here in Damargania, I've learned a lot about him. He has also changed through out the years we've been together, compared to when we first met, he has matured alot.

Initially, he was someone who would follow his instinct as a dragon embodying the concept of chaos and go on random rampages. I was able to talk some sense into him.

He had a short attention span, so I had to find a way for him to focus on training. The first thing I did was strike his ego, I commented on how powerful he was but mentioned how despite being strong he couldn't win against his sisters. That comment drove Veldora to train really hard.

Although I wasn't lying, Veldora his very strong. He has the highest magicule count second only to Veldanava. His potential is crazy, which was why I was shocked when I found out that Velzard always killed him with one shot. It was hilariously terrifying. I guess Velzard is just built different.

His status as a prodigy was no joke. He learned everything I taught him quite fast. The only thing that took time was him gaining a human form.
After about fifty years, he finally did.

He has Blond hair, and is over two meters tall. Veldora has a very masculine face. He also learned to suppress his tremendous aura, he appears to most people as merely a handsome, albeit slightly intimidating, young man. Although he is far from being able to completely erase his aura and presence from others' perception, but I believe with time he would get there.

He would occasionally spar with Dagruel to test his strength. And my goodness is Dagruel strong. The fact that he could fight Veldora toe to toe was astounding. He truly is powerful, I would occasionally spar with Dagruel and his brother Glassord who uses a sword. It was difficult keeping up with Dagruel, but I could keep up with his brother somewhat. My experience with fighting Velzard, someone who outclassed in every category really helped me develop a fighting style that is focused on facing opponents stronger than me. When it came to the total amount of energy, that wasn't a problem since I could employ the tactic I used against Velzard; absorbing the surrounding magicules to augment my strength.
All these were techniques that were created to be the foundation of my magic combat fighting style.

What was even more shocking was the intrinsic skill of the true giants such as Dagruel. [Magic nullification] a skill that completely negates the effects of nearly all types of magic by interfering with spiritrons and blocking their movement, creating an anti-magic guard. As spiritrons are the building blocks of all forms of spiritual matter, this skill offers absolute defense against the vast majority of magical attacks and effects, though it is powerless against phenomena that fully obey the laws of physics, such as elemental magic, and esoteric types of magic that operate on completely different principles than most magic, such as nihility magic.

It was an eye opener. The only way to deal damage to them was to combine the effects of magic and skills or fight them using battlewill.

I also introduced Veldora to manga, as a way to reward him for his hard work. It was the best decision I ever made. Using [Thought link] I was able to share my memories of 'sacred texts' as he called them. It was a heaven sent to Veldora, he created his own family of art called the Veldora style killing arts.

It is basically hand-to-hand combat techniques that employed aura or some times magic aura, a fusion of aura and magicules. Veldora was somehow able to adjust the unrealistic and impractical combat techniques from the battle manga that he read from my memories, into practical combat techniques that can be used for actual fighting. Something only a prodigy can do.
