Chapter 12: Training-5 (Level up?)

Two robots were defeated within one second due to Serina's fireball attack and his slash attack.

The remaining two robots became vigilant since they can learn from our moves. This is the first time he tried this move as he usually uses grade-1 two-handed sword after his quiver gets empty.

He launched his attack on one of the robots by slashing it. It blocked my attack with it's sword. He did a follow-up attack with another slash from the other side and the robot dodged it by moving back.

The robot came at him by trying to stab him in the chest. He dodged it and went behind the robot and slashed its back disabling it.

When he looked at Serina, she was sitting on the floor wagging her tail as she finished her robot before him. 'She is so strong, but I must learn to fight my battles alone to become powerful' he thought.

The fifth round is a bit difficult since he has to face five robots at the same time. But he will be able to defeat them in twenty minutes. But what he saw shocked him.

What he saw was a single robot entering the room. He then remembered what Bones told them yesterday. "The training will change from tomorrow to help you to fight monsters effectively."

The robot was a Private Mid level rhino. Since it is a robot, it won't have elemental attacks. But the armour will be strong. It will take at least 30 minutes for him to defeat it.

It was a good thing he kept absorbing mana into my purifier as it is now at 40%. He also continued using his mana on the sword.

He also started the fifteenth circulation of mana to get the boost for his attack. He did not stop mana purification either. This is the first time he is trying to purify mana and circulate exercise at the same time.

Allen started to feel a small pain in my head. But it was bearable. He swung his sword with full force and hit the rhino's head.

It blocked his attack using its horn. Serina fired a fireball towards it, but it did no damage. He couldn't see even a scratch on its body.

He thought its defence will be weak since it is only in private mid-level. But his guess was wrong. It hit him with its horn with its strength.

He couldn't dodge it since he was so close to it and tried blocking it with his sword. But the strength was too much for him to handle

He got thrown five feet away from the rhino. Before he could regain his footing, the robot rhino came towards him with its horn facing him.

He dodged it and asked Serina to distract her for a few seconds. He ran towards his bow and picked it up. He took an arrow from his quiver which was still strapped to his back and prepared to fire a death strike.

He fired the arrow as soon as he prepared the shot. The arrow penetrated the armour, but it was not enough to take it down.

Due to the pain in his body, he started circulating the sixteenth move of the mana exercise. Even though he can feel the pain increasing, he was able to endure it as he wants to defeat the rhino.

He gritted his teeth and continued circulating the sixteenth move. He continued fighting with the robot rhino for ten minutes, but except for a few scratches, it looked fine.

Serina was also doing its part. She would launch a fireball to distract the rhino and come close for close combat. Her attacks were more effective than Allen's attacks, but still, they couldn't make significant damage to it.

At one point, she got so frustrated that she covered her entire body with her fire and rammed at the rhino only to be thrown back a few feet due to the impact.

Rhino also took a few steps back and Allen had to call her inside him so she can recover. "Serina, get inside now" he said. Serina turned into a ball of light and went inside his chest.

He could feel her frustration since she couldn't damage the robot. She was angry to the core. Allen never felt this much anger in her from the time he adopted her.

He suddenly felt something happening to his pet. He could sense her power increasing with the anger reducing slowly. He knows what is happening.

'Serina is levelling up to the Private Mid-level stage.'

He immediately checked his mana purity on his mana purifying engine and found it was at 23%. He continued purifying his mana non-stop even during the battle. He was shocked to see the purity increase so suddenly.

His mana also started to drain more quickly. He stopped using mana infusion and stopped the mana exercise and concentrated on dodging the rhino's attack and absorbing mana from his surroundings.

Seeing Allen stopping his attack, Bones stopped the fight and entered the training room immediately. When he felt Allen is levelling up, he took a small test tube-sized bottle which contained red liquid.

He removed the cork from the bottle and asked Allen to drink it. Since he knows that it is a mana portion, he drank it without question.

Since he was at a low level, his mana storage was low and the mana portion increased his mana by 60%. He knows that he needs vitality portion during level up and since he did not have any portion, he needs 80% of his mana from storage cylinders to level up without any issues.
