Nothing much happened that night. Amidst the chirping of insects and the rustling of leaves, Aoki and the Dark Raven fell asleep in the tent.
While sleeping, time always passed by unknowingly. When she opened her eyes again, the sun had already risen from the horizon, and a rosy face had appeared.
Once again, they started a fire, cooked, and trained. Everything was just like every other morning. Aoki trained his body while the Dark Raven trained his skills. They always believed that perseverance would eventually pay off.
It was said that a year's work began in the spring, and a day's work began in the morning. Training in the morning would always yield twice the results with half the effort.
The Dark Raven had just learned Evil Wave, Guard, Substitute, and Piercing Sound through the Skill Imparting Device. Learning all four skills in one go required proper practice and mastery. Apart from Guard, which couldn't be trained normally, the other three skills required a certain amount of training before they could be used proficiently. Only by mastering skills could they be of use in battle.
Guard and Substitute, in particular, were the two life-saving skills. They were the key to survival in the wild. As the Dark Raven's main demon-type skill, Evil Wave was also a skill that the Dark Raven needed to train. In other words, these four skills all required proficiency because each skill could be used in specific situations.
Apart from these four skills, the wing attack that the Dark Raven had just learned a few days ago also required training. However, because the Dark Raven was constantly carrying weights, it could be said that it was constantly training the strength of the wings. Naturally, the power of the wing attack would also increase by quite a lot.
"Dark Raven, use Evil Wave on the tree in front of us again!" Aoki commanded the Dark Raven. After completing his physical training, he began to help the Dark Raven with targeted training.
Upon hearing Aoki's command, the Dark Raven nodded and used Evil Wave on a tree of average thickness. For a moment, an extremely malicious aura erupted from the Dark Raven's body. Pitch-black demon-type energy gradually gathered around the Dark Raven. As the malicious aura spread, the demon-type energy was like a wave that violently crashed into the tree.
In an instant, the small forest in front of the Dark Raven began to shake. Within the attack range of Evil Wave, the rustling of leaves could be heard. Several pitch-black scratches were left on the tree that the Dark Raven was targeting. After the skill ended, the scratches on the tree emitted a hissing sound. This was an additional effect of the evil energy.
"You saw the damage from the Evil Wave, right? Such a powerful skill couldn't cause much damage to the enemy at all. Even the tree only broke a little of its bark. Perhaps, other than some of the elves with superpowers, it wouldn't have much effect on the other elves. But it doesn't matter. After all, you've just learned this skill. As long as you train well and work hard to control the range of the skill so that the skill can be released in a concentrated manner, it will still be very powerful. When the time comes, some powerful esper sprites and specter sprites will be defeated by this move of yours. " Aoki said to Dark Raven, who had just finished casting a Skill, in order to address the shortcomings of the Skill.
Listening to Aoki's advice, the Dark Crow quickly nodded. As an evil Elf, how could it not defeat an esper and specter Elf? Dark Raven could still feel the huge power of the Skill it had just learned. It was just that it couldn't use it very well right now. Dark Raven's fighting spirit was high as it was about to master a powerful Skill.
Malice constantly appeared around Dark Raven. Evil energy also appeared with the appearance of malice. However, the Skill didn't directly release it. Dark Raven began to control the evil energy and reduce the spread of the energy. It strived to gather the energy and use the skill to deal enough damage. After a while, when Dark Raven felt that the evil energy had gathered enough, it used Evil Wave on the tree again.
"Bang!" The surrounding trees no longer swayed like before. Aside from a few slight tremors, there wasn't much movement. However, a finger-deep black hole had appeared on the tree that the Dark Crows had focused their attacks on. Black smoke was coming out of the hole, and it was clearly much more powerful than the first attack.
Seeing that Dark Raven had improved after using Evil Wave again, he nodded with satisfaction. It had to be said that Dark Raven's talent in controlling energy was very outstanding. This talent couldn't be reflected in the aptitude of the elves. It could only be understood through continuous contact and training.
"As long as you control the concentration of energy and reduce unnecessary consumption, the power of the Skill can be improved. The power this time is obviously much greater than the last. However, the release of the Skill is still too slow. You need to increase the speed of gathering energy. This is a painstaking effort. You can only improve through continuous trial and error. You've already done very well, Dark Raven. " Aoki expressed his approval of Dark Raven's progress. In this kind of boring and difficult training, as long as a trainer gave a certain amount of praise and affirmation, the elves would work even harder.
After Aoki's praise, Dark Raven nodded excitedly and began to train even harder.
Aoki smiled faintly. He sincerely approved of Dark Raven's efforts. To be able to be trusted by such an excellent elf was also a kind of honor for a trainer.
About an hour later, Aoki continued his journey with Dark Raven. Although the main purpose of this trip was to find the thing that Shadow had told him, he couldn't neglect some basic training. Otherwise, it would be a waste of time and life.
After such a long period of training, Dark Raven's body was already exhausted. After eating a lot of Energy Cubes, Dark Raven's physical strength was quickly restored to its peak. Even its aura was faintly strengthened. This was the invisible effect of the Energy Cubes. Normally, it would take at least two or three hours to recover its physical strength. With the help of the Energy Cubes, Dark Raven's physical strength was restored to its peak in just over ten minutes. Moreover, the exhausted body was like a dry sponge. The huge amount of energy in the Energy Cubes was like seawater, which would be absorbed by the sponge in an instant. The amount of energy absorbed was even more than the usual recovery time.
As long as Dark Raven could continue to use the Energy Cubes, the gap between it and other elves would become more and more obvious. It was precisely because of this effect of the Energy Cubes that every trainer who could make Energy Cubes was the target of all the major forces, even if they could only make Basic Energy Cubes.
Trainers might not be the strongest, but they were not to be offended. That was because no one knew how many complicated relationships there were behind each trainer, and how many powerful individuals owed them favors. As long as a trainer used this favor, they could gather a group of powerful trainers.
Trainers were like a hornet's nest. One could not touch them easily.
Yesterday, in order to find a water source, they had deviated slightly from their original route. Therefore, what they needed to do now was to return to their original path.
As the sun gradually rose, so did the temperature in the forest. Gradually, the elves that were active during the day began to show themselves. Under the rays of sunlight, the entire forest exuded a sense of vitality.
As Dark Raven ventured deeper into the forest, the strength of the elves in the area increased. However, the number of elves was not as high as before. After leveling up, the elves began to have awareness of their surroundings. However, they could still occasionally see some injured elves on the road or trees, or even some dead elves.
Aoki and the Dark Raven naturally turned a blind eye to these things. However, as they ventured deeper into the forest, Aoki and the Dark Raven became more and more alert. The Dark Raven carefully guarded against the surroundings, ready to attack at any time.
Fortunately, the A.I. Chip's scanning function was activated at all times, so no elves could approach Aoki without being discovered.
Under the A.I. Chip's scanning, Aoki noticed that a few elves were consciously approaching them. They had even been tailing them for quite some time.
As they got closer and closer, the moment Aoki suddenly stopped, a Kaeiros darted out from the bushes at the side. Its target was the 'weak' Aoki.
"Caw!" The vigilant Dark Raven reacted the moment the Kaeiros appeared. Instantly, he used the Wind skill and sent the Kaeiros, who was about to finish off Aoki, flying.
Looking at the failed sneak attack of the Kaeiros in front of him, Aoki couldn't help but want to laugh. This was the same Kaeiros that had been defeated by the Dark Raven before. However, he had learned to be smart this time and knew to attack Aoki at the first opportunity. It was a pity that he had miscalculated. Even without the Dark Raven, the A.I. Chip had already detected danger. The moment Aoki stopped, his tense body was ready to dodge at any time.
"Caw!" However, Kaeiros had obviously come prepared this time. Following its cry, three more Kaeiros jumped out from the bushes. From the data of the A.I. Chip's scan, their strength was on par with the Kaeiros in front of them.
Aoki laughed, "You really don't know what's good for you, forming a team to get wiped out." A few days ago, the Dark Raven had been able to wantonly trample on Kaeiros. Now that the Dark Raven's strength had increased explosively, even if it faced four Kaeiros, it would just be delivering food to them.
"Caw! Caw! Caw! Caw! " The four Kaeiros looked at each other. Their tacit understanding wasn't bad, and they all rushed towards Aoki. After suffering once, they knew that this creature in front of them that didn't seem to have any battle strength was their greatest threat.
"Dark Raven, ear-piercing sound!" Aoki's expression didn't change as he calmly said.
