Chapter 214: Using The Stone

Orion shrugged lightly, following Edgar and Lucan to the expansive training grounds behind the mansion.

The area was quiet and peaceful, bordered by neatly trimmed hedges and shaded by tall trees, the soft grass underfoot providing a perfect footing for practice.

Once within the spacious training area, each man retrieved their respective swords. Orion gripped his obsidian longsword firmly, its weight perfectly balanced in his grasp.

Edgar calmly held his own sword, stance relaxed yet poised, while Lucan confidently unsheathed a slender blade, his expression unexpectedly sharp and focused.

Edgar turned toward Orion, his demeanor shifting to a serious instructor. "Young Master, you’ve shown exceptional skill in one-on-one combat. Now, however, it’s essential you learn to handle multiple opponents simultaneously."

"Lucan and I will both engage you together, matching ourselves to your level in strength, not realm—given how much stronger you are compared to ordinary awakeners of your tier."

Orion nodded firmly, immediately understanding the intent behind Edgar’s training method. "Understood, Uncle Edgar. I’ll do my best."

With no further ado, Edgar and Lucan moved fluidly into position, their gazes sharp and unwavering.

Orion adjusted his stance, his breathing steady and controlled as he mentally prepared himself for the coming challenge.

"Begin!" Edgar commanded clearly.

Instantly, Orion felt pressure from two simultaneous angles. Edgar’s sword flashed swiftly, aiming carefully toward Orion’s right side, while Lucan moved agilely, striking directly from Orion’s left with surprising speed.

Caught slightly off-guard by their coordinated approach, Orion reacted instinctively. He swiftly pivoted, narrowly deflecting Edgar’s precise strike with a hurried parry, only to find Lucan already upon him, his blade slicing dangerously close.

Forced into a defensive stance, Orion rapidly retreated, struggling to maintain his composure against the relentless onslaught.

The coordinated teamwork between Edgar and Lucan overwhelmed him repeatedly, his defense gradually faltering against their well-synchronized attacks.

Sweat beaded lightly upon Orion’s brow as he maintained constant vigilance, swiftly analyzing each strike pattern and their collaborative rhythm.

Each exchange taught him valuable lessons, forcing rapid adaptation and sharper reflexes.

Yet, despite his considerable talent, Orion was repeatedly overwhelmed, clearly unfamiliar with managing simultaneous, coordinated attacks from multiple opponents.

His breathing grew heavier, fatigue accumulating as minutes turned into hours of relentless practice.

Still, Orion stubbornly refused to back down. Instead, his determination only deepened, each defeat sharpening his analytical mind.

Gradually, he learned to anticipate and exploit brief openings within their coordinated movements, improving steadily with each passing exchange.

"Focus, Young Master! Predict our intentions before we move!" Edgar encouraged sharply, expertly adjusting the pace to keep Orion continually challenged.

Lucan’s eyes sparkled with surprising intensity, his playful demeanor now replaced by genuine seriousness. "You’re doing well, Young Master, but you must broaden your perception—fight both of us as one!"

Slowly, Orion’s movements began shifting, growing smoother and more precise. His instincts adapted to their synchronized rhythm, enabling him to predict and counter their moves with increasing efficiency.

His sword gradually transitioned from purely defensive to increasingly assertive, skillfully weaving counterattacks amidst his parries.

Each successful counter built Orion’s confidence, refining his instincts further. His focus sharpened dramatically, awareness expanding to encompass both Edgar and Lucan simultaneously, his blade movements becoming more decisive and controlled.

After several exhausting yet profoundly instructive hours, Edgar finally signaled the conclusion of their rigorous training session.

Orion, drenched in sweat yet clearly satisfied with his progress, lowered his sword, breathing heavily from exertion.
