C38- Spear Art

Next was the possibility of Evolve, something that the Rest of the Serpent Race hadn't done in centuries, and now if she worked hard enough she could evolve.

All the excitement was getting into her head as she let her imagination take over, in her imagination she took down her Brother, and unite the Serpent Tribe while taking down the Vampires creating the first Serpent Kingdom, but she immediately snapped out of her imagination because she knew deep down that it was not going to be an easy journey.

She saw her Magicka and Zin Energy, which was not too surprising since she was a Warlock, then followed by her Stats which she didn't know if it was impressive or not " I guess I will find out when the training begins, I wish you could see me Mother and Father, I know you would have been so proud of me" Sephie said as a tear began to gather in her eyes.

"Now is not the time to cry, I need to check the remaining details and see what this book has to offer," She said to herself, pumping her see up, although she was a 15-year-old Lamia, the weight of her Tribe future rests on her shoulders so she had unknowingly started thinking like an adult.

She checked her Skill but no surprise it was empty, she would have to either create a skill by herself or buy a Skill body to learn, and she doubted her brother would give her the Coins needed to make such a purchase.

Spell Tome and Skill books are one of the most expensive commodities in the world, due to most people not wanting to sell the skill they trained for years to create, or in the case of Spell Tome, not many Sages are still alive to make Spell Tome, the Spell Tome being sold around are either remade version or a new Sage Tome and those cost Millions of Greater Coin.

The Same for the Skill book, although they are cheaper Skill books in the market, they are weak and sometimes useless Skills, She neither had the Coin nor where to borrow from so she checked the Spell list expecting it to be empty.

"Great Serpent, this skill... I don't know what to say, it would help a lot in combat, Father always says 1 second could decide the Faith of a battle, and now I can Pause a target for 2 seconds" A new sense of joy entered her mind, with this spell and her weapon training, in a matter of year she could become unstoppable.

Well, that was if she didn't die in the coming Tribal war that her brother was able to start, according to her Father the war front is the best place to sharpen your edges in combat, the Experience you gain suffering on a war front would help a warrior grow stronger.

With her mind made up, Sephie got out of her room and went to seek her brother, telling him that she wished to join the Warrior and train hard enough to gain him on the battlefield, although she had other plans in mind.

It has been 2 weeks since Sephie Awakened her Class as a Spear-woman, the first week of training was the hardest, she used to be a pampered princess but now she pushed herself to train 2 times a day.

During the daytime, she would join her brother's warriors to train to understand the instructions of the Noble Vampire Ser Monday Bloodsnow, and at night she would train using the methods she found inside the book her father left her.

It was taxing at first, training twice a day, her body would allow arch her the next morning, but she knew if she wanted her revenge she must endure it.

The day training was just the regular training one would expect from a warrior's training, nothing special but extremely difficult, it was how one should defend oneself during battle, while at night she trained using the Skill she learned from the book called Spear-Art.

This Skill takes a lot of energy and stamina to pull off, and am only at the first stage" Sephie whispered to herself, she sat beside the giant shrine tree, it had become her training ground since after her brother took over the tribe nobody visit the Shrine anymore, as they were all busy training for the upcoming war.

She got up, dusted her clothes, and breathed in and out "Spear-Art First form [Spear-dance]" As she said those words, she felt a surge of Energy strengthen her body, making her faster and stronger.

She began performing some moves that she learned from her training with the Vampire trainer, her movement was not precise, but it was good enough, after 5 seconds of using the Spear-Art Skill, Sephie fell to her knees as she coughed out blood.

"My body is still weak to handle the first form" Using an Art technique in this early stage would cause nothing but harm to her body, of course, she knew but her drive for Revenge made her ignore the warnings in the book.

She had been practicing the Spear-Art Technique for the past 2 weeks, trying to get used to the sensation of the Skill, her time limit was 2 seconds if she tried to push her limit, coughing blood was one of the backlash.

Sophie crawled back to the tree, she rested her back against the tree, thinking back to her little adventure two days after she received her Class.

She sneaked out of her room to go hunt the low-leveled beasts that lived beyond the tribe shrine, she had heard stories about the abundance of beasts that lived beyond the Shrine, low-level beasts that would provide energy crystals for her to absorb.

It was common knowledge that absorbing Energy from Crystal would increase your Energy be it, Mana or Kai she sneaked past the guards into the forest.
