963 My Darling is known to be quite strict...
"Hmmm? The Cultivators who fought here were quite weak." Orpheus commented.
"…" Nux didn't know how to react.
He really was standing in front of one of the ten strongest Cultivators in Yrniel.
"Everyone starts from somewhere, darling," Ambrosia spoke politely.
"I guess you are right." Orpheus nodded his head.
He was this weak all those years ago as well.
Of course, his standards of 'weak' were far superior to others.
"A-Are we going to practice here? Is that even allowed?"
Nux questioned, trying to change the topic.
He wasn't interested in hearing two people talk about how weak DIVINE Stage Cultivators were!
He still wanted to keep his sanity.
"Hmm? Why would it not be allowed?" Orpheus questioned.
"I mean, it a Dimension where Divine Stage Cultivators fight, can you just use it like training grounds?" Nux questioned.
"What's the problem? It is a free Dimension, there will be no eyes here and you can go out without having to worry about damaging anything.
Even if some Divine Stage Cultivators do appear here to fight against each other, we can simply just kick them away, can't we?"
"..."
Nux just decided to stay silent.
Beings like Orpehus were clearly on a different level, someone like him couldn't possibly see the world from his perspective.
"Anyways, if you could give me a general idea about what kind of training you want, it would be better than randomly exploring all the sections."
"I need your help to understand and master Vampire abilities, I have just recently unlocked this so I do not how to manage all these new abilities I have gained, I feel overwhelmed. Blood Mist, Telekinesis, Charm, Blood Control, Blood Creation, Transformation, Flight, there are just too many abilities, I feel like I need proper guidance to master them all and use them in a fight."
Nux described his problem seriously.
These two were the strongest people he could trust, revealing something like this wasn't a problem.
"I understand."
Orpheus nodded in understanding.
"Unlike us, you are a complete Cultivator, so you have abilities of both Mana Vampires and Body Vampires, although I could have taught you how to control and master your Mana abilities as well, you are lucky that Ambrosia is with us as well.
So we will do it like this, I will be teaching you the abilities of Body Vampires, how we Vampire fight close-distance battles, while Ambrosia will teach you the Mana abilities.
Is that clear?"
Orpheus explained the whole plan.
Nux had noticed that he was speaking a lot more than before.
'Heh, father like daughter.' He finally realized where Melia got her habit from. She became a different person when it came to things related to cultivation and fighting as well.
Ambrosia, on the other hand, was just looking at him as if he was the most amusing thing she had ever seen.
Honestly, her faze was intimidating.
Nux tried his best to ignore her and,
"Alright." He answered Orpheus.
Then, a chilling smile appeared on his face.
"!!!"
Nux's eyes widened in fright as he felt a chill running down his spine, that smile, why did it look like Lord Orpheus was waiting for this moment this whole time and has now finally cornered his prey?
"Hahaha~"I think you should take a look at
Suddenly, Ambrosia laughed out loud.
Nux glanced at her, wanting an answer to why Lord Orpheus changed so quickly, and as a responsible mother-
in-law, Ambrosia explained,
"Didn't I tell you? My Darling is known to be quite strict...
And you acted quite boldly before… so…"
"!!!"
Nux's expression changed.
Ambrosia just shrugged, "My husband is quite petty, you see."
Those words were like a death sentence to Nux, he turned towards Orpheus with a nervous smile on his face and,
"L-L-Lord Orpheus… y-you didn't take my j-joke seriously, r-right? I-I am sure you are not s-some petty man, r-right?" He stuttered.
However,
"The first thing we will be working on,
[Regeneration]."
Orpheus spoke, then, his figure blurred a little, Nux frowned in confusion, soon, however, he felt something.: owner of this content.
Slowly, he turned his head to the right, then, his eyes fell on his missing arm, he looked down, and saw his detached arm falling down, his brain finally registered what happened and,
"AAaaaaGAGGgGgGHhhhhHH!!!"
He screamed in agony.
The pain was so intense that he lost control over him, he quickly activated [Absolute Step] to regain his footing, with his entire body trembling, he glanced at Orpheus as he took a deep breath.
Bulging veins could be seen on his forehead because of the intense pain he was feeling, however, Nux didn't scream anymore.
His pride didn't allow it.
Orpheus, who observed him from above didn't have any change in his expression.
He found it strange how Nux was kneeling in the air as if it was the ground, he knew it wasn't the Flight ability, it must be one of Nux's strange abilities.
Of course, Orpheus didn't care about it for now.
He just liked how Nux was not screaming like a child as he did at the start. That look in his eyes as the husband of his daughter glanced at him, he like it.
Maybe this man was worth training.
"[Regeneration] is an ability that a Body Vampire unlocks in early phases of his Cultivation, it is one of the most basic abilities, however, as basic as it is, it is one of the most important abilities that makes us Vampires superior to other races.
Unlike others, we do not care about defense, our fighting style is aggressive, we attack till our opponent is down, and little injuries like our arm being chopped off don't matter. As long as it is not our head, nothing else matters.
Your Vampire blood is pure, so your regeneration is strong just like us, so you need to train it to extreme. It is the most efficient, yet the simplest that you can instantly add into your fighting style."
Orpheus explained.
There were many things Nux had to complain about, however, for now, he decided to stay silent. He was getting into serious mode.
He glanced at his arm that was chopped off and could see that in just 2 seconds, his arm had already started growing.
"Your regeneration is faster than normal," Orpheus noted.
Nux knew the reason, [Regeneration], the skill he got when he became a King Stage Cultivator, it was working together with [Regeneration] the ability of his Vampire Form.
"Well, it is better this way,
I can act more freely now.
Get ready, Nux."
Nux's hell started.
