Chapter 90 Liliana longs to become stronger! (3)
"Eh? Life safety is... I get it."
Michelle's words made Liliana realize that she might be in danger during the next training.
But she still put on the bracelet resolutely.
"What a strong girl, totally different from me."
Michelle looked at Liliana and said with a somewhat sad expression.
"Eh?"
"Nothing, since you are ready, then set off as soon as possible."
Michelle returned to her original mischievous smile, stood up, and walked towards the door of the laboratory.
After opening the door, she snapped her fingers lightly.
The corridor outside the door gradually became twisted, and a sentient passage covered with moss and vines appeared.
"The first step of the training is actual combat. Next, please go to the Rift World and defeat the monsters that are causing trouble for me, little Lily."
?◇?◇?◇?◇?
The smell of sweat, dirt and blood mixed together made Liliana feel very uncomfortable.
She herself didn't know how long she had been in the rift world.
It is said that the time and space in the rift world are chaotic, and the speed of time flow is completely different from that in the outside world, sometimes fast and sometimes slow.
[Hmm~ Little Lily, your results are pretty good. The number of monsters you defeated is much greater than I expected. ]
Michelle's voice came to Liliana's ears.
The bracelet that Michelle gave to Liliana, in addition to being able to urgently teleport her out of the rift world when her life is in danger, also has the function of communicating with people who hold the same bracelet.
"This... this level is not enough..."
Liliana replied breathlessly.
She took out a water bag from her backpack and drank some water. She also fed some restorative potion to the puppet beside her, a golden dragon wrapped in lightning.
Although she was very happy to receive praise from Michelle.
But Liliana knew very well that this was far from enough.
[Hmm~~ Little Lily, it seems that you are a good kid who knows yourself very well~ Then I won't be polite. Your previous fighting style was very clumsy. You didn't bring out your original strength and the ability of the Thunder Dragon at all.]
“Eh?! Uh, that…”
Michelle's sudden change in tone made Liliana unable to react for a moment.
She opened her mouth in surprise, but couldn't utter a complete sentence.
[Also, I really don't know what you're thinking. The Thunder Dragon's original body was so huge, why don't you make it smaller?
Fighting in a small space with her original size, this child has to bear a lot of unnecessary attacks, right? Or did you originally intend to use her as a human shield? 】
Michelle's tone was teasing, as if he was deliberately teasing Michelle.
"No, I don't mean to use Na An as a human shield!"
Liliana retorted.
Of course, she also considered shrinking her puppet's body to fight.
However, according to An's racial characteristics, shrinking his body would indeed make him more agile, but his attack and defense capabilities would also drop sharply.
If attacked, An would only suffer more serious injuries.
[Lily, do you think Aljun is... is he powerful? ]
Michelle said this for no reason.
"Eh? I...I, I don't really know, but I think Alta should be considered very powerful. After all, he can defeat several level 3 puppets by himself."
[I think so too, but my reason is different from yours, little Lily. In fact, I also watched his duel with Holhua, and Aljun's strength is indeed very strong. But his greatest strength is not just his strength. ]
Michelle said.
I don’t know if it was Liliana’s illusion, but there was a hint of shame and longing in Michelle’s tone.
This made her feel a little confused.
[Arjun's real strength lies in his awareness during battle, that is, his heart.
Even if he would be shattered to pieces by the puppet's attack, or be painfully burned by the flames, he would be willing to do whatever it takes to protect little Rose and win. 】
Michelle continued.
[He has the courage that puppeteers lack, which is to risk his life in battle. Although I say that, I don't want you to become like him, Lily.]
"Eh? W-Why is this happening?"
[Aljun took his life too lightly. Although fighting is a fight with the enemy where one's life is at stake, the child put his life on the table of victory too easily.
Rather, I hope you and Little Rose can keep an eye on him from now on. 】
Michelle smiled bitterly.
It was clear that they had only been together for a few days, but the half-elf mentor seemed to have seen through Alfred's heart.
This made Liliana feel very envious and had mixed feelings.
[But, Lily, when you fight monsters, for the monsters, that is the moment when they risk their lives in order to survive. It is human nature to want to destroy them without taking any risks and without any harm, but don’t you think this idea is too naive? ]
"Naive... huh?"
Liliana pursed her lips subconsciously and repeated Michelle's warning.
Because her mother and sister had also told her many things, Liliana had some understanding of Michelle's words.
[The only people who are qualified to kill are those who are prepared to be bitten back by the other party. Fighting is not a joke. It is impossible for everything to go as smoothly as you wish.
The battlefield is also a place where no one knows what will happen. The strong may die due to accidents, and even the weakest person may survive by chance due to some small reasons. 】
Michelle said.
[No matter who you are, you are equal on the battlefield. Rack your brains and use all your life's knowledge to defeat and kill your opponents, survive and fulfill your wishes.
I want you to at least have this level of awareness, Lily. 】
"I understand."
Liliana answered, regaining her fighting spirit.
[It's not enough to just talk about this. Sister Alberta told me that a lot of demon king-level monsters seem to have appeared in the rift world recently.
Lily, I ask you to find a way to defeat any one of them in the next ten days. The specific method is not limited, the only requirement is that the tactics must be figured out by you alone. 】
