Village Head's Debauchery

Chapter 981 Divine Spectral Blade Arts

“Can we begin, please?” Orion asked, clearing his throat. He no longer wished to continue this conversation.

Aerialia saw right through him and snorted before asking, “What kind of technique do you want to learn?” She decided to put the matter to rest.

“I want something I can utilise with the Crimson Greatsword,” Orion responded, his tone serious. Contrary to others’ beliefs, Orion still dreaded the arrival of the Vylkr spawns and other divine beings, mainly since he had found one in a small Runaway City like the Wanderlust Traveling Tortoise.

In the past, he had learned a handful of techniques and arts from Aerialia just for the sake of it. Only after he had distributed the flying technique to the warriors and his wives and observed the battle between Sieg and the Wanderlust Traveling Tortoise Runaway City gods’ chosens did he realise those areas where Paradise was lacking.

Yes, they had their gifts, but what if one day they encountered an opponent with immense strength and a dreadful art or technique that would trump them into defeat? freēwēbnovel.com

It wasn’t that he found their gifts inadequate; instead, he wanted to turn them into their secret weapon, one that could ensure their safe retreat or escape. Even warriors with a gift not meant for fighting could use this to enhance their strength, no longer depending solely on the force of their weapon swing to take down an opponent. Fortunately, there was a goddess who had gone through countless rebirths before him with an encyclopedia of knowledge, so he knew such a thing was possible.

This was why he wanted to keep Paradise secret, moving in the shadows and only revealing its existence when he was sure they wouldn’t face any threat from any other being, divine or mortal. However, Orion understood that such a goal would take a long time, especially since he didn’t yet have the strength to go against a divine being.

So, for now, he would begin by systematically addressing Paradise’s weaknesses. The first step was to implement techniques and arts, demonstrating their potential to be as powerful as their gifts. To achieve this, he would lead by example.

Aerialia nodded thoughtfully. “How about I teach you an art that will help you wield the Crimson Greatsword and other weapons and allow you to utilise your gift simultaneously?” she suggested, waiting for Orion’s response.

“That sounds perfect,” Orion replied, nodding affirmatively.

“Okay, listen carefully. This art is called the ‘Divine Spectral Blade Arts.’ Although called blade art, it allows a warrior or divine being to control and manipulate their weapons using Celestial or Divine energy. Considering its broad applications, which you’ll soon discover, I think it will perfectly complement your use of the Greatsword,” Aerialia explained energetically. One of the reasons she continued teaching Orion numerous techniques and arts was because, no matter how complex or challenging, Orion and the warriors from the Village instinctively unravelled their intricacies upon learning them. At first, she was bewildered by this prospect. After all, these were arts and techniques she had fought hard to acquire or create, and even her children and divine apostles found them challenging to master. To learn that Orion, who had no prior knowledge of techniques or arts, could grasp them so quickly had initially irritated and annoyed her.

This was why she had initially refused to teach Orion the flying technique, even when he pleaded with her after learning that the Prismerion Queen had unlocked such a skill on her own.

But now, she was much calmer and looked forward to seeing how far they could push their limits. In her experience, Orion and the other villagers’ ability to achieve such feats was not unprecedented. In her time, it was typical for races wielding higher-ranked energies to learn lesser-ranked energies with some effort, including the techniques or arts built upon them. However, Orion and the villagers seemed to excel beyond typical expectations, needing only half the usual attempt to master these skills. Talented individuals could even fully master and surpass a technique by applying it to higher-ranked energy. This factor gave gods a distinct advantage in the world alongside their vast knowledge and power.

Due to his ancestors’ connection with Naka, they could harness Vylkr energy, which is comparable to or even stronger than Divine energy, and had been transformed into beings distinct yet similar to the human race in a quest to create the perfect beings capable of breaking into the heavens and dominating them—a quest that ultimately failed. If only he had waited for someone like Orion to be born before giving up. Fortunately, he hadn’t, or she shuddered to think what might have become of the young man before her.

“Alright, teach me. I’m eager to learn,” Orion responded, his excitement barely contained. Techniques and arts were classified into ranks like artefacts: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Unique, Legendary, Mythical, and Divine, across three categories: Low-grade, Middle-grade, and High-grade. Even after distributing thousands to the Warriors and Paradise, he still had 3,450 artefacts ranging from Common to Pseudo-Legendary ranks in the mountain. If mastering the Greatsword proved challenging, he could utilise some of them.

Aerialia nodded and began explaining the Divine Spectral Blade Arts training method. It involved developing strong mental focus and precise use of Celestial energy to enhance the connection between oneself and the weapon. The training emphasised developing instinctive, responsive, accurate, and well-coordinated attacks, imbuing the weapon with one’s energy to create even more powerful strikes. She then delved deeper into explaining its stages of mastery.

Orion nodded. “I’ll do my best not to disappoint you,” he responded with a determined look in his eyes. He turned to face the Crimson Greatsword before him, focusing his Celestial energy on it. “Remember, it’s not as easy as you think. To surpass the first 20 per cent threshold of the technique, you must first maintain a prolonged connection with the weapon and control it accurately as if it were an extension of your own hand,” Aerialia explained, watching Orion curiously to gauge his progress.
