Part 3
The next day, Gloria began the special training.
“Let’s start with Luna-kun first, okay?”
“Yes, I look forward to working with you.”
On the beach, Luna faced Gloria.
“Luna, good luck!”
“Luna-san, we are rooting for you…!”
Giselle also shouted next to Lexia, who was jumping up and down.
Luna, however, has a stiff expression on her face and her lips are tight.
Seeing Luna’s nervous face, Gloria tilted her head.
“What’s the matter? You look worried.”
“Our attack did not reach the lava titan. I wonder if we can really be a force to be reckoned with…”
The fact that her strings were scattered in an instant during yesterday’s battle made Luna doubt that her abilities could reach the alien beast.
Gloria also tightened her cheeks and nodded.
“It will be a hard fight this time, that’s for sure. But we cannot give up. Luna, who has fought many powerful enemies in the past, I think you have the qualities to deal with it.
“Huh?”
“I’ll explain later. For now, can you give it your all?”
“! Yes!”
Luna prepared her string.
“Let’s go… Boisterous Dance!”
Snap! Slash, slash, slash!
Sharp strings fluttered towards Gloria.
However, Gloria easily dodged them all.
“A-all of Luna’s attacks were dodged!”
“As expected from the Claw Saint-sama…!”
Lexia and Giselle’s eyes widened in amazement.
On the other hand, Gloria also marveled as she dodged the onslaught of strings.
“I see, this is amazing. This special weapon must be difficult to use, but you must have trained very well.”
Gloria flexibly dodged the strings that came out one after the other.
“Kuh, I can’t believe I’m trying to be serious and yet I can’t even graze you…! As expected from Claw Saint-sama…!”
Luna gritted her teeth as she manipulated the string.
Gloria’s speed is so tremendous that she can only keep her figure in sight, and the next moment Luna thinks she has caught her, she moves to another place.
“Then I’ll block your movement first! Prison!”
“Oops.”
Gloria stopped for a moment as the strings were stretched around her.
Immediately, Luna pulls the strings around her fingers.
“Hahh!”
The countless strings surrounding Gloria converge at once.
However.
Just before the strings completely converged, Gloria used the strings as a foothold and launched herself at Luna like a bullet.
Lexia’s scream echoes.
“Luna, look out!”
“Kuh…!”
Swosh!
Luna quickly reached out for Gloria, who was right in front of her.
However, Gloria twists her body slightly, and even the close-range attack is brilliantly blocked.
Then, as they pass each other, she hits Luna’s back repeatedly with such force that her claws barely touch her.
“!?”
Luna stopped and crouched down.
“Luna, are you okay?”
“Did Gloria-sama just do something to Luna-san…?”
Lexia and Giselle raised worried voices.
“W-what in the world was that…──?”
Luna looks back at Gloria with a confused look on her face.
“W-what is that… my body… is light…?”
“Eh?”
“Well, it seems to have worked.”
Gloria laughs.
Luna looked down at her hands in disbelief.
The moment Gloria poked her back, her body felt light, as if a weight had been removed.
Not only that but her fingers are filled with energy.
“What in the world is that…?”
“I released the flow of your Ki.”
“Flow of Ki?”
“Yes.”
Gloria laughed, shaking her black tail as Lexia and the others chorused in agreement.
“Luna-kun’s body is extremely flexible and strong. It has a certain strength that is backed by rigorous training. But you’re pushing yourself a little too hard.”
“Too hard?”
“You’ve been in a lot of fierce fights since you started your journey, haven’t you?”
“That’s…yes.”
Luna nodded her head.
Since leaving the Kingdom of Arcelia with Lexia, she had faced a number of powerful enemies and had always been forced to fight with all her might.
Gloria said that although Luna was unaware of it, the burden had been slowly building.
“Ki is the power that surrounds our entire body, just like a magic power. Our bodies are made up of muscles, bones, blood vessels, nerves, etc., all intertwined and intricately folded. If any part of the body is overloaded, that part will squeak, and the ki will stagnate. Luna-kun’s symptoms are greatly affected by the constant overuse of her body. Therefore, I poured the power of the Holy into the bright hole and released the stagnant ki to bring out Luna-kun’s true strength.”
“The bright hole?”
“It is a kind of acupuncture point located at the key point of the flow of ki. By poking the bright hole and releasing the flow of ki, you can explosively regain your original power. I tried it on your back, and it seemed to work.”
“Such an unknown technique exists! Gloria-sama, you’re amazing!”
“As I thought, the Holy is very special…”
Lexia and Giselle are impressed.
“So this is my original power then…?”
“No. It’s just the beginning──I’ve only released a small part of it. Luna-kun, your power is not like that.”
Luna was surprised, and Gloria narrowed her eyes on her.
“The Sword Saint──Iris has mastered a technique similar to this in the form of massage, but I’m more comfortable with this method that uses the fingernail. However, the method of piercing the bright hole can only be used to maximum effect when you are fighting with all your might──when your body is in a state of extreme tension.”
Luna sat back and took a stance.
“…So you’re saying that the only way to do this is to have me release my ki while I’m really fighting Gloria-sama.”
“You’re very quick to understand; that helps.”
Gloria smiled broadly and lightly spread her hands.
“Please don’t hesitate to come at me with everything you’ve got. The more serious you are, the more this treatment will make sense.”
“I never thought that I would have to fight a serious battle with the Claw Saint… but if that’s the case…”
Luna took a deep breath and readied her strings in both hands.
“I’m going to give it my all! Shackles!”
She released the strings and kicked the ground at the same time.
She followed Gloria, who leaped to avoid the strings and delivered a sharp kick from close range.
“Haahh!”
Gloria avoided the flash and lightly launched a claw into Luna’s leg.
Gloria’s tail followed up with a lash aimed at Luna’s solar plexus.
“Kuh…!”
Luna managed to roll to the ground just in time to avoid being hit in the solar plexus.
She jumps up and releases a bundle of strings.
“Spiral!”
Gyurururururu!
The drilling strings approached Gloria.
But Gloria did not avoid it.
Instead, she met it head-on and snapped her claws at the drilled tip, causing the strings to unravel.
“Wha…?”
“N-no way…!”
“How did she break Luna’s string so easily…?”
Lexia and the others, who had been watching with bated breath, also had their voices twitch.
In addition, Gloria ran past the astonished Luna and poked a bright hole in her wrist and up her arm.
“…..!”
At that moment, the ki that had been stuck in Luna’s arm was released, and she felt her arm lighten.
“Hah, hah…! While fighting, you were able to hit the bright hole with exquisite force and aim correctly…! As expected of Claw Saint-sama…!”
“What’s wrong? Is that all?”
Gloria lifted the corners of her mouth, and Luna responded with a wry smile.
“No, not yet!”
String and claw crossed each other violently.
Lexia, who was watching from afar, gasped.
“The two of them are amazing! From here, I have no idea what’s going on…!”
The battle between Luna and Gloria was so fast and furious that it was difficult to catch them in view.
Every time they exchanged blows, Luna’s ki would flow through her entire body.
“I can’t believe I haven’t been able to show my full strength until now…!”
Luna swung her string, surprised at the change in herself.
The speed and power of the string increased as the range of motion increased and the limbs flexed.
“Now it’s…!”
Luna put all the strength she had into her arms.
And then.
“Spiral!”
As soon as the strings were shot out, the force burst.
The bundle of strings whirled violently and headed toward Gloria with a storm of wind.
Gyrairirururururu!
“It’s no use playing the same trick so many times!”
Gloria tries to intercept it with her claws, just as before…
“White Dragon!”
Gooooooooooohhh!
As soon as Luna swung her arm, the swirling bundle of strings swirled like a dragon, increasing in power.
“…..!”
Gloria’s hair stood on end from the tremendous pressure.
She quickly rolled onto the beach to avoid it.
Zugagagagagaga!
The dragon of strings cut off several strands of Gloria’s long hair and then dashed forward, gouging the beach even more deeply.
In its wake, it left a deep gash like the claw marks of a gigantic creature.
“Wha…”
Luna stood there in awe of its power.
“”E-eeeh… Eeeeeeeeeeeeehhhh!””
Lexia and Giselle shouted loudly in excitement.
“Luna, what was that? It was amazing enough up until now, but how in the world did you do it… to make it even more powerful?
“T-that was incredibly powerful… That could pierce even the lava titan…!”
Gloria bursts out.
“Fu… hahahaha! You did it, didn’t you? I didn’t expect it to grow so much in such a short time!”
“Ah…!”
Luna looked down at her hands as she adjusted her breath.
She was surprised at how full of strength she felt.
The range of motion has been increased, and the elasticity has been strengthened so that in addition to the sharpness and speed that were the original strengths, it also has explosive power.
Wiping the sweat from her chin, she turned to Gloria.
“I didn’t think it was possible to become so strong just by releasing the flow of ki… Thank you.”
“No need to thank me. It’s your original power. I just helped a little bit to release it.”
Gloria laughed and then sat back and prepared herself.
“But you’ve only just released it, so you probably aren’t familiar with it yet. I’ll be training you further so that you can master it.”
“Yes, thank you very much!”
Luna’s face tightened even more, and she readied her string.
