Skadi, returning to infinity

Unless an attack with SS-level power is used, the training room is essentially empty.

This is actually a small alternate dimension. From the moment you open the door and step into the training room, you are already in another time and space.

Of course, Skadi wouldn't say such a thing.

After all, we should keep this a secret for now and tell Chen when he's more familiar with her.

"Then, I'll make the first move."

Taking a deep breath, Chen stepped forward and instantly appeared in front of Skadi.

"Phew." Without any visible movement, Skadi's sword was already raised, and Chen's Crimson Sky was knocked away.

The greatsword was pressed against Chen's neck, and the chill emanating from its blade made her feel slightly cold.

"The moves are too easy to see."

Skadi sheathed her sword and instructed her.

"Again."

Chen silently walked over, picked up his sword, looked at Skadi, and raised his hand again.

"Clang~"

"~"

"~"

Skadi's attacks were repeatedly deflected, but the force she used was subtle and small, and she did not harm Chen.

But this feeling of being unable to reach the other person no matter how hard he tried was a source of deep frustration for Chen.

"Chen, failure is neither shameful nor something to be discouraged about."

"You must understand, behind every person of my strength lies a mountain of corpses, and a constant battle with death."

A race against time, a heartstring taut.

"If you are not careful for even a moment, you will face death."

"Those who are born with great power are gods, not us."

"But through our efforts, we can even defeat a god."

"Like your ancestral dragon, gods can also be killed through their own efforts."

"So don't think that other people's strength is invincible."

"In your eyes I am so powerful, but in the eyes of someone even more powerful, I am just an ant."

"Not only are you working hard to become stronger, but I am also working hard to become stronger."

"But if you want to reach my level, you're not qualified yet."

Skadi looked at the panting Chen with a sharp gaze, and her words were both encouraging and provoking her.

"I don't know anything about dragons... nor do I know anything about gods."

"I just want to know, if I die here, will I die?"

Chen looked up at her; his clothes were already soaked with sweat.

"You will die, but don't worry about dying."

No matter how much you are hurt, I can heal you.

"And I will absolutely not let you die."

It's normal for Skadi to have such confidence. Chen asked this question because he probably wanted to know how much effort he was willing to put in.

"Then... if I acted with the intention of killing you, would you be angry?"

Chen stared at Skadi; ​​the girl gave her a dangerous feeling.

"Angry? Why should I be angry?"

"I would be very happy if you could kill me."

Skadi smiled. She would indeed be happy if Chen could really grow to that level.

"So, here I don't need to take care of my body?"

Chen took a deep breath; she already knew what she had to do.

"You can only do this when I'm around. Don't do anything reckless when I'm not here."

Skadi nodded, completely understanding what Chen was thinking.

"Then you should train me here with the intention of killing me."

Chen gripped the sword with both hands, his eyes as resolute as ever.

She didn't know if she had improved, but she could clearly feel that she had begun to become more capable in a certain direction.

"So you have to be prepared for pain, broken limbs, and the feeling of dying at any moment."

"This is no joke."

Skadi's sharpness dimmed, replaced by a cold, serene gaze, like the moonlight in the darkness.

"Let me try, at least..."

Chen nodded; she was ready.

"Fireworks, get out of here, don't look."

What happens next is beyond your control.

"When you are ready to accept it, I will give you the same trial."

Before making a move, Skadi reached out and gently pushed away Hanabi, who was crouching by the door watching their practice.

As Skadi pushed her out, she also told her about her future training plan for her.

The door closed, and Hanabi stood in the doorway, not leaving, lost in thought.

"ah.....

"Again...."

"Is this what it feels like to have a broken back...? It hurts so much...cough cough, I can't breathe..."

"My spine... is completely shattered, and I have no strength left in my body."

Am I blind?

"I lost all feeling in my five senses."

"My internal organs are shattered, my heart, my breath... my breath..."

"All four limbs are broken. Did it try to resist but have no ability to do so anymore...?"

"Cough cough...it hurts so much..."

"But... I already know what death feels like..."

As Chen himself said, he attacked with the absolute determination to kill Skadi.

Skadi, as Chen had requested, retaliated with the idea that she had to kill her.

In this way, Chen would be seriously injured every time Skadi countered.

It could be a broken spine, severed limbs, or half the body cut in two.

She could even feel the pain of her body being shattered into dozens of pieces, yet still being able to breathe.

However, such injuries heal quickly, in as little as a few seconds or as long as a minute.

This cycle repeats itself repeatedly. If someone were unaware of the situation, they might think Skadi was abusing Chen.

In fact, each near-death experience gave Chen a deeper understanding.

This isn't about Super Saiyan bloodline, but rather a deeper understanding of one's own abilities.

Skadi didn't say anything; she just fought back, then healed, then fought back again, then healed again.

Her energy recovery isn't slow, and besides, using the Holy Priest's skills doesn't require much energy at all.

To prevent Chen's death, Skadi secretly used the "Life Link" to connect her own life with Chen's.

In this way, no matter how much damage Chen suffers, as long as Skadi is there, there will be no problem.

Not to mention Skadi has a natural talent for healing, and also has the [Divine Tree] trait, which allows her to recover from injuries extremely quickly.

This restorative ability was transmitted to Chen through the [Life Link], allowing Chen to experience it as well.

Even so, the feeling of constantly being on the verge of death was terrible, not to mention that Chen had experienced almost every way of dying.

She herself couldn't remember how many times she had "died," she just felt that she seemed to no longer care about death at all.

"Alright, let's eat."

After regaining consciousness from a period of complete unconsciousness, she saw Skadi squatting there, staring at her, and telling her to go eat. Chen suddenly had a feeling...

It's a very subtle feeling that makes me want to cry.

"Do you have any new clothes?"

She hadn't noticed it at first, but when she propped herself up and saw that she was almost naked, she realized it.

Skadi's sword wasn't a blunt weapon; if it could cut through her body, it could certainly cut through her clothes.

Chen himself recorded hundreds of vivid experiences of being on the verge of death.

The total number is estimated to be over three hundred, and there are many she can't remember.

After hundreds of near-death experiences, Chen, who had become indifferent to death, was extremely ashamed of his near-nakedness.

"Here you go, try changing your skirt."

"You're a girl too. Wearing clothes like this all the time will suppress your charm a lot."

"While I also appreciate seeing spirited and capable girls, at least at certain times, it's appropriate to soften and show more femininity."

Her sexual allure was on full display.

"This isn't about proving anything to anyone, nor is it about showing off to anyone. It's about telling myself that I can also be charming and versatile, with different sides to me."
