110 Chapter 21: Training (3)

"Try not to die, alright?"

Lucias said with a wide on his face while watching them dodge 10 harpoons at a time traveling at a speed of 2km/hr in desperation with several wounds on their body, all while under 5x the gravity of earth.

"Y-YOU DEMON!!"

Issei shouted as he dodged a harpoon aimed at his crotch by a few millimeters while crying tears of blood while Kiba and Koneko are the only ones who are managing well.

"I have been called names far worse than that before so quit your complaints and move your body"

Lucias said with an unfazed while before gazing at Rias at Akeno who were training the circulation of their mana on the corner of the room, protected by a barrier so that they wouldn't die from a stray harpoon.

"Ugh..."

Rias grunted with an extremely tired voice as she tried to concentrate despite the intense pressure pressed against their body.

"Do your best because I'll increase the gravity by 1 every 3 hours... so hurry up and get used to it"

Lucias shouted with a large smirk on his face while the Asia, Artoria, and Lilia monitored their progress while sitting comfortably on the corner of the room.

"Look at Lilia, she can handle 100x increase in gravity without a problem even though she's... 8 years old"

Lucias said causing Lilia to glare at him for treating her like a little child despite being 100+ in age, a lot older than most of the members of the faction.

"I'll show you that I'm not 8 years old tonight, Lucias"

Lilia muttered with an ominous aura coming out of her small body causing Lucias to shiver in his spot as he ignored the glaring Loli behind him.

"Ahem... This training will improve both your physical and reflexes exponentially after 5 days since your body will naturally adapt itself to the environment to survive, so your brains, specifically your cerebellum will be overworking itself to adapt to this situation"

Lucias said before gazing at Akeno and Rias concentrating in circulating the flow of their mana in the corner to expand the magic circuit in the corner.

"That is except for Rias and Akeno since their training will improve their concentration no matter the situation they were placed in"

Lucias explained before increasing the gravity pressed on their body to x4 causing them to stop in their tracts and get pinned on the ground from the intense pressure on their body while the body suits significantly increases the improvement made in their tissues, muscles, and bones from the constant strain brought by Lucias' training.

"Fuck!"

Issei cursed as he got pierced by a harpoon on his left thigh, causing the body suit to pull the harpoon out and quickly heal his body before a barrage of harpoons rained down on his location.

"We're going to die..."

He muttered before rolling to the side the dodge the harpoon as he tried to stand up from the ground on all fours causing one harpoon to piece him directly at his butt.

"AHHHHHH!!!"

"Issei, remember to find a way to stand up without appearing vulnerable to your enemies or else, they'll use that chance to dispose of you"

Lucias shouted before pulling the harpoon out of his butt causing both feces and blood to pour down on the ground as the suit quickly regenerated his body.

"By placing you devils in a life and death situation can your body force itself to break through its limits... so do your best Issei or else you'll have to experience the same pain over and over again"

"SHIT!!"

Issei cursed as he stood up from the ground while Lucias caught a harpoon aimed at his body with his bare hands before throwing it away.

"I like your enthusiasm, Issei"

"Shit!! I'll get you for this in the future!!"

Issei shouted before dodging 4 harpoons aimed at his crotch, head, chest, and right arm as quickly as he can.

"Hmm... They're improving quite fast"

Lucias muttered before sitting down next to Asia who was casually drinking tea despite the bloody scene in front of them.

"... You're going to break them with this training routine, Lucias"

Asia commented as she gazed at her fiancée with a wry smile on her face.

"I have no choice, they're current chances of winning is... extremely low especially when Riser can use both phoenix tears and his Ultraspeed Regeneration to his advantage... while they have... just destructive attacks"

Lucias said as he leaned on the walls of the room, creating multiple possibilities in his mind on how are they going to face this hardship.

"They teams is... both lacking in numbers and are imbalanced. They have a brawler, a swordsman, a mage, and a... I don't know what Issei is, but they don't have any support that can assist them from the back lines, unlike Riser's Peerage who has one and he himself can heal his peerage with his own ability"

Lucias commented before Lilia suddenly sat down on his life while hugging her lion stuffed toy in her embrace.

"That is why when one of them is severely injured that will take 20% of their entire power, so their numbers are incredible valuable in their team composition"

"Quality over quantity is it?"

Artoria said as she stands while leaning back on the wall behind her with a neutral expression on her face.

"She is aiming for that, a team that prioritizes quality over quantity... but despite the potential of her peerage she never really trained them by looking at the level of their skills"

Lucias added while gazing at their status board with a large frown on his face. The highest skill level they have is lvl 40, and that is Akeno's lightning magic while the others are between lvl 1 - 30 at best.

"Is it possible to improve their strength without relying on your skill, Lucias?"

Asia asked remembering one of his skills giving him infinite number of skill points that he can give to other beings inside his party.

"Yes, I just need to push themselves to their limit"

Lucias grinned causing the devils inside the room to shiver from the chill that ran down their spine from the grin on his face.

"Don't worry... At most you'll be equal to a mid-class devil in terms of physique and reflexes by the end of this training"

"I hope you guys survive after this 10 days"

Day 2

"S-So cold..."

Issei muttered as he hugged his body from the sheer coldness of the room as his feet and arms are being frozen solid by the extremely low temperature inside the gravity room while dodging the 10 harpoons that followed them as they tried to dodge, all under the gravity of x10.

"Ha... Ha..."

Kiba panted while resisting the painful frostbites on his skin while evading the harpoons with exaggerated movement so that his own body can produce heat due to his movements, fully knowing the suits will instantly recover their stamina in a few minutes.

"He's a fast learner"

Lucias muttered while watching Kiba try and adapt to the extreme environment they were placed on, using his own speed as an advantage.

"But... Koneko will have a hard time in this aspect since... her physique only focuses on raw power rather than speed"

Lucias said as he observed his sister-in-law struggles to dodge the spears as several wounds covered her body.

"As a front liner... You have to endure this pain, isn't that right, Rias?"

Lucias called out to the red headed devil sitting down on a metal platform along with Akeno as they tried to balance themselves in a tip triangular rod while several spikes waited for them below if ever they lose focus and concentration. Balancing themselves while trying to form their mana to the desired shape that Lucias wanted, all while resisting the pressure and coldness of their environment.

"Shuri's going to kill me if she ever finds out that I'm training her daughter like this"

Day 3

"H-Hot!!"

Issie shouted while jogging as he dodged the fast harpoons aimed at his directions under a 80°C temperature inside the room with x24 gravity pressed against their body.

"You're doing great Issei"

Lucias shouted with a large grin on his face as he saw 4 new skills in Issei, Koneko, and Kiba's status from the extremely hard training routine made by Lucias.

[Skill: Thermal Resistance (lvl 67/100)]

[Skill: Reflexes (lvl 97/100)]

[Skill: High-speed Adaptation (lvl 17/100)]

[Skill: Supreme Senses (lvl 2/100)]

"I'm surprised they haven't break yet during this 3 days"

Asia who was watching by the side while wearing her school swimsuit commented while standing still even with the incredibly hot floor pressed against her snow white skin.

"They are the students that I taught myself, of course they wouldn't break that easily"

Lucias said before turning his head to Akeno and Rias controlling the mana that they ejected outside their body without breaking their connection from their magic circuit with great control and precision as beads of sweat ran down their tight body suits, evaporating as soon as their droplets of sweat dropped 1 centimetres close to the ground.

[Skill: Concentration (lvl 57/100)]

[Skill: Mana Manipulation (lvl maxed)]

[Skill: High-speed Adaptation (lvl 60/100)]

[Skill: Thermal Resistance (lvl 71/100)]

[Skill: No attribute Magic (lvl maxed)]

[Skill: High-speed Mp Regeneration (lvl 62/100)]

"I guess she wasn't called a genius as a child without a reason"

Lucias muttered while observing their precise actions, without any unnecessary movements to preserve their stamina since Lucias removed some of the runes on their body suits to lessen the rate of recovery of their stamina.

"I'm going to get you for this, Lucias Frey"

Rias gritted her teeth without losing concentration as both of them balanced on a long metal rod 3 meters above the floor with their wings sealed to their back.

"I'll wait for that day, Gremory"

Day 4

"... This is impossible"

Issei muttered as he looked down from the platform 50 kilometers above ground, created with the help of Kuroka's space magic and his reality manipulation skill while they rested in the night.

"We're going to train your proficiency in flying using this wings of yours"

Lucias pointed at the bat like wings on their back with a neutral expression on his face.

"You're going to perform the same tasks that you did before but through mid air, see those flying platforms?"

Lucias said while pointing his finger at the flying rocks in the middle of the sky with a large grin on his face.

"That's the only method you have to rest yourselves and regain your lost stamina... all under x55 the gravity of earth"

Lucias explained with a kind smile on his face, unlike the way that the devils see him as before creating two wings of frost fire behind his back.

"You're insane..."

Issei muttered before Lucias snapped his finger, causing the platform they were standing on to disappear below them.

"AHHHHHHH!!!"

All of them shouted as all 5 of them fell down at great speed due to the increased gravity of the room.

"Try not to fall, below this is a large pool of lava, you'll instantly get cooked to crisp if you don't react quickly"

Lucias reminded as he flew down along with them with great ease, causing all of them to quickly spread their wings to stop their fall with a frightened expression on their faces.

"Let's get started shall we?"

Lucias said as thousands of harpoons appeared behind him using [Trace] before chasing all of the devils in great speed, causing them to frantically try to control their wings to fly up towards the sky.

"Do you best"

"LUCIAS!!!!"
