Chapter 834

Bam —!

In the garden, the sounds of intense collisions lingered for a long time, telling the others how intense the battle between Shien and Tierre was.

Despite saying that, Shien still restrained himself and left some leeway. He did not use his full strength.

It was not the first time that he and Tierre had been fighting like this in the garden.

It all started when Shien reported the matter to Tierre after he completed the task that Tierre entrusted to him.

In order to deal with the upcoming battle and the person that she had always wanted to defeat, Tierre sought out Shien, which was a rare occurrence. She hoped that Shien could train with her.

Because this was a battle that required her to give her all, and it was even possible for her to put her life on the line. Tierre wanted to undergo a harsh tempering before the day of the final battle.

In other words, Tierre needed an opponent that she could handle with ease even if she used her full strength and correct the details of the battle for her to train herself.

There were many such opponents in Boztutt's house.

Shien was one.

You Lin was one.

Lilith was one.

So was Chafne.

However, You Lin was very keen on guarding the gate. Even when she had free time, she would be sent to Lily's place by Shien for all sorts of strange reasons to learn how to manage the family. She did not have the time to accompany Tierre at all. Lilith was naive and did not know how to control her strength. It was unknown if she could understand the meaning of 'training'. Chafne was also a legendary figure that people had only heard of, but never seen. Tierre naturally would not look for these people.

Hence, Shien naturally became Tierre's sparring partner during this period of time. He sparred with her like this every day to train Tierre's abilities.

Chafne had long known about this, but she did not pay much attention to it. It was only today that she suddenly felt the urge to come here and take a look. That was when she saw Tierre and the 'ghost' in her body.

Under Chafne's gaze, the battle between Shien and Tierre came to an end.

Whoosh!

Shien used Teleportation to dodge the incoming claw and reappeared behind Tierre like a ghost.

"…!"

Tierre reacted sharply.

Unfortunately, she was not as fast as Shien.

"Checkmate."

Shien placed his hand on Tierre's back, and mana surged from it.

Bam —!

Amidst the explosive sound, the mana explosion was stirred up, and Tierre's petite figure was blown away. She distanced herself from Sean in a rather pathetic manner, and when she landed on the ground, she couldn't help but kneel on one knee.

"Ha … Ha …"

Perhaps she had exhausted all her stamina, she was panting heavily. Her face was covered in sweat. Even the horn on her forehead flickered a few times before gradually disappearing.

"Alright, let's stop here. Seeing Tierre like this, Shien immediately stopped her and said, "Your 'horn' obviously increases your strength, but it also puts a significant burden on your body. If possible, it's best not to use it too many times in a short period of time."

That was Shien's evaluation.

Tierre did not refute.

This was indeed one of the weaknesses of [Ghosting]. It would place a certain degree of burden on the body.

"After all, it directly transforms the mana in the atmosphere and provides it to you. You haven't reached that realm yet, but you have strength far greater than normal. Naturally, your body will bear some of the burden, such as a rapid loss of stamina, a decrease in stamina, and even injuries."

Therefore, even though Tierre had regrown her horn and could control her unique skill, the side effects of this unique skill should not be underestimated.

And …

"I wanted to ask you a few days ago. Is your 'horn' a lot slower than before when it transforms energy?"

Shien asked suspiciously.

Back then, when Tierre activated [Ghosting] in the Adro Canyon and transformed into a ghost, she absorbed an enormous amount of mana in an instant and rose to the Legendary Tier. She was even very close to the Limit Tier.

But in the past few days, when Sean fought with Tiyerre, he found that Tiyerre's "horn" absorbed power much more slowly than before.

For example, when Tierre used [Ghosting] to rise to the Legendary Tier in the past, it might only take a few seconds.

But now, Tierre's level was obviously higher than before, but it took her a lot longer to rise to the Legendary Tier.

"About a minute, I think?"

Shien made his own judgment.

"After activating [Ghosting], you need about a minute to absorb enough power to rise to the Legendary Tier, let alone the Limit Tier. I don't think you can do it without at least five minutes."

In the eyes of many experts, this kind of speed was an obvious weakness that couldn't be more obvious.

"I know." Tierre nodded and said, "But I can't help it. My 'horn' has just grown out and it's still a young horn. It's normal for it to absorb and transform mana much slower than when it was at its peak."

Obviously, Tierre was aware of her own condition.

"Are you sure it's okay?"

Shien expressed his concern.

Even though it made sense, it wasn't enough to give her the confidence to face Alidia.

"The transformation speed is so slow. If the leader of the knights wants to, he can defeat you in an instant. Do you still want to challenge him?"

Shien asked.

Tierre nodded and didn't seem confused at all.

"I still want to challenge him."

Tierre didn't hesitate at all.

"You …" Shien wanted to say something but gave up. He shook his head and said, "Since you said so, I can only support you."

"Then let's continue," Tierre said immediately.

"Let's take a break." Shien naturally wouldn't go crazy with this lass.

Don't you know how heavily you're panting?

Where did you learn to be so competitive? It's fine if you don't stop in bed, but you don't stop outside either. Really …

Just as Shien was about to reprimand Tierre, Chafine finally spoke.

"I see. Do you want to challenge Alidia Erbein?"

Chafine leisurely walked over and looked at Tierre's panting figure. Her eyes showed a look of interest that wasn't there before.

"… I've embarrassed myself in front of Your Highness."

Tierre was silent for a long time. She took a deep breath and then bowed to Chafne in a silent manner.

"What do you want?"

Shien raised an eyebrow and looked at Chafine warily.

"Don't look at me like that. Those who don't know might think I'm a troublemaker."

Chafine couldn't help but pat Shien on the back.

Shien pursed his lips and even wanted to say, "Aren't you?"

But when he saw the threat in Chafine's eyes, he chose to shut his mouth.

Chafine snorted and turned to look at Tierre again.

"Training like this may be helpful to the progress of your strength, but if your goal is to better control and make use of the 'ghost' in your body, this method is not enough, okay?"

Hearing this, not only Tierre, but even Shien couldn't help but be startled.

"What?" Shien looked at Chafine in surprise and said, "From what you said, it seems like you have a way to help Tierre use the 'ghost' in her body better?"

Chafine didn't nod or shake her head at Shien's question.

The reason was simple.

"If I want to, I can do it. But compared to me, Milo is the expert."

Chafine said.

"Milo?"

Shien was slightly stunned.

"… Ghost Demon Milopesh?"

Tierre murmured.

"That's right." Chafne looked at Tierre with interest and said, "I've only just discovered that this lovely young lady's power seems to be the same as Milu's."

Tierre's unique skill was a kind of 'horn' that allowed her to absorb mana from the atmosphere and convert it into power. In theory, it could infinitely increase the user's power.

But this was only the operating mechanism of Tierre's unique skill.

In fact, it wasn't without reason that Tierre's unique skill was called [Ghost Transformation].

"To put it simply, her unique skill is actually a kind of transformation of her body."

Chafine said.

"After that 'horn' appeared, this cute lady's body changed. She was no longer a pure human. Instead, she was filled with mana from the outside world, and the negative energy in her heart was stimulated to achieve the goal of strengthening herself."

In other words, when using this unique skill, Tierre was no longer a human, but a ghost transformed by the stimulated negative energy.

"The nature of this power is actually quite similar to Milo's [Ghost Seed]."

Chafine said with a hidden meaning.

"Milo's [Ghost Seed] also transforms herself and the negative energy of the outside world into her own, thus transforming her body and transforming her body. She then becomes an existence known as a 'ghost', wielding the negative energy that is different from that of human beings — the power of ghosts."

These abilities stood on the opposite side of the power that human beings could possess. Not only were they strange, but they were also evil, and even not allowed by the world.

As a 'ghost' existence that was opposed to 'human', it was understandable that people would not accept this kind of existence's power.

But it was undeniable that these abilities were very powerful.

Milo's ability was known as the most versatile unique skill. It could do many things. Not only could it pass through walls, become invisible, curse, possess, fly, and so on, but it could also open up a ghost realm, create a ghost city, and transform all human beings into an army of ghouls. It could be said that it was extremely evil and strange.

Compared to Milo's, Tierre's [Ghost Transformation] was not as versatile, but it was essentially the same type of ability as Milo's.

In other words …

"With Milo's help, the 'ghost' in her body will definitely be much more obedient, thus reducing the burden on her body. That 'horn' will also be able to grow quickly."

"If everything goes well, she might even be able to learn the real fighting style of 'ghost' from Milo."

"As for me, although I can use [Rippling Heart Fiend] to connect to Milo and learn her fighting style, I can teach her how to use the 'ghost' in her body to fight. However, [Rippling Heart Fiend] can't connect to other unique skills, so Milo is more suitable to teach her."

Tierre lowered her head at Chafine's words and fell into deep thought.

"Should I let Milo teach her?"

Shien, however, was conflicted.

The reason was simple.

"Are you sure Milo can teach someone?"

Shien seriously doubted this.

He did not forget how naive and romantic that girl was, and how careless she was. She was like another Lilith, with even less common sense and thinking ability than Lilith.

Let the girl who dared to imitate him and explode a fiend with a finger teach Tierre?

Forgive Shien for being blunt, but he could only see a future where Tierre was accidentally played to death.

On the other hand, Chafine did not seem to be worried about this.

"With Lide watching from the side, there shouldn't be any problems if nothing goes wrong."

Chafine said with a smile, which made Shien want to roll his eyes at her.

If nothing went wrong?

Probably not?

Why did it sound so unreliable?

Shien once again seriously doubted the feasibility of this matter.

Of course …

"That girl is too playful. It's still unknown whether she will be willing to teach someone." She shrugged and said, "If you personally ask her, she might agree, but it's also very likely that she'll lose her patience very quickly."

In other words, Shien was worried that Milo would not be able to complete this task, and Milo might not agree to it.

"Uh …"

Shien was speechless.

At this moment, Tierre suddenly spoke.

"If Devil Highness can really make me stronger, I'm willing to try."

Tierre made the decision without any prior signs.

"Tierre!"

Shien couldn't help but call her.

Tierre's face was calm.

"I know very well that it's impossible to defeat that person with ordinary methods." Tierre said calmly. "And since ordinary methods don't work, I can only use unusual methods."

This girl was as decisive as ever.

Shien wanted to say that this was a very dangerous matter.

But he also knew that if it was just dangerous, this girl wouldn't mind taking the risk.

Tierre Albehin was not averse to taking risks, and he was a person who would advance bravely in times of crisis.

Even if Shien wanted to persuade her, it would be difficult.

"Don't worry." Tierre naturally knew what Shien was worried about. She said concisely, "I have Lady Lidas' blessing and the protection of fate. I won't die so easily."

Before Shien could respond, Chafine was stunned.

"What did you say?" Chafne asked Tierre in surprise. "You said that you are Lidas' well-wisher?"

Tierre raised her eyes, looked at this breathtakingly beautiful demon, and slowly nodded.

Seeing this, Chafine's eyes finally lit up with excitement.
