But just before we could continue our sparring, I paused and looked up in the sky.
Stopping in her tracks, Alleus tilted her head.
"What is it Ring?" Alleus sheathed her cusped falchion back in her scabbard.
The window screen in the sky wrote:
┌─────═━┈┈━═─────┐
[Chapter 158: Unnad]
incus hadnt fully broken her limits because her mana had run out so she tries to expend the least amount of mana as possible while utilizing the most out of them

└─────═━┈┈━═─────┘
"There’s going to be a battle tomorrow but it doesn’t say what’s it’s going to be against." I replied to Alleus, "It could be a demon invasion or just a friendly spar."
"Then we should brush up on our skills beforehand then." Alleus pointed her sword at while it’s still in it’s scabbard.
"Ha, I suppose so." Sheathing the fire hero’s sword, I lowered into a fighting stance.
Lunging forward, our swords clashed against each other in multiple repetitions.
Stepping back, dodging a slash to my face, I regained my breath.
Thrusting my hand downwards, the dragon scales tackled Alleus with a shower of attacks.
With her left eye twitching, she dodged and parried simultaneously.
While she was distracted, I sneaked up around her and slamd my sheathed blade at her back.
Torquing her body, she dodged by doing a splits.
She’s so flexable.
Suddenly, an aching pain resonated on the side of my abdon.
"Argh!." I groaned, wincing.
She had managed to counterattack despite being in a weird position.
Throwing the sheathed fire hero’s sword at her face, I leapt in front of her.
Catching the sword, Alleus’ blocked my jumping kick at her chest with a sweeping block, pushing away to the side.
Damn, she’s improved her future sight on erratic objects.
"I’m not the sa person who I was a few months ago idiot... if you really want to defeat then you’ll just have to grow stronger!" Alleus scoffed.
Regaining my footing, I picked up my sword, before unleashing a barrage of relentless attacks.
"Scales, support my attacks!" Waving around, the dragon scales would act like afterimages and strike once more after I’ve already struck.
Alleus was slowly being pushed back as I took a step with every attack.
"Scales, scatter and attack in a variety of directions!" Dispersing, the scales flew around us, taking the opportunity to attack whenever there was a given chance.
"Best to give up now Alleus, your eye can’t possibly keep up!" I scoffed, in a mocking tone.
"Are you sure about that..?" Alleus then drew out a cold breath, and began dodging the attacks with weird unnatural movents.
Damn it, how could I forget! She has that evasion skilled of hers.
Wincing, I slashed downwards.
"Scales, restrict her!" The scales then flew towards Alleus, but she had disappeared when I blinked my eyes.
But Alleus has already used this tactic twice on , and If I fall for it for the third ti then I really am a fool!
Pointing my body upwards, I slashed my sword but no one was in the sky.
"Didn’t master Index say to not slash downwards, he would be really disappointing in you." Said Alleus behind .
Shit.
As I turned towards her to attack, she had already struck multiple tis.
Catching from falling to my knees, Alleus chuckled.
Spitting sothing out of my mouth, I stood myself up.
"Sorry for going overboard, I thought you were going to dodge it sohow."
"Don’t act so smug, you grabbed a scale and stuffed it into mouth so that I wouldn’t be able to command them."

Waking up in the morning, I strained my body after our battle.
"Urgh..." Standing up, I walked outside the tent.
The sun was beating on my face.
I had sent out a dragon scale of my own to blend in with the one that belongs to Incus, so the dragon scales would wake up whenever Incus made a move.
"Guys wake up." I clapped my hands, "The knights are packing away the tents, so let’s hurry up and do the sa."
Since it’s still morning, the battle that Incus participates in should be later... so we’ve still got a bit of ti left.
Flailing around, Vertere groaned tiredly.
"Just five more minutes, and why do we have to do it... the knights are doing it anyways." Said Vertere.
Kicking him, I snared.
"Quit being such a lazy bum and get to working." I continued on kicking him.
Standing up, his hair stood up in a ssy manner.
"Fine, stop kicking ..!" Vertere stood up.
"Shhh, you’ll wake up Ita..!" Alleus, carried Ita who was drooling, out of the tent.
Pulling out the stakes and sticks that held the tent together, I folded the tent’s drape.
Suddenly, my eyes widened and my hair strands stood up.
A loud thud erupted behind .
’Get out of the way now!’ The force armor shouted at .
The sky exploded in the color of crimson red.
"Demon raid, everyone look for the nearest knight and head for the kingdom gates!" A knight shouted, running around warning everyone.
Turning around, I blocked a punch but was sent skidding back a few ters away, my feet nearly leaving the ground.
"Wake up Ita, get her out of here!" I shouted, my tone full of haste.
The dragon scales that I’ve transferred to Ita hung its self around both her and Alleus.
But that still doesn’t resolve the issue that there are multiple demons, she’ll need soone to support her from the back.
Vertere had already summoned spikes of ice and shot them out at the monsterious demons.
Glancing behind , had wrapped herself in the dragon scales armor and began rushing to eliminate as much of the demons as possible, the lightning and wind hero’s sword boosted her speed.
"Scales, strengthen ." Wrapping around my body, the dragon scales gave a surge of strength throughout my body.
