To say that Calrk and Maria spent hours training against Crim was an understatement. Clark was driven to understand how he could move using the ghostly steps to throw a needle with accuracy. His movements felt clunky and broken. He had never had this problem before in his life since he had forced himself to train since he was able to move properly.
Maria found that she was having more success. The hesitations he had using a dagger began to melt away. She had been trained to move well with a bow, but now she had to adapt that to moving with the dagger. It was a tough challenge to adapt any battle style to a new weapon, yet for Maria, it was simple as doing it a few times.
The pressure that Crim had been under was more than enough to teach him how he should dodge. Part of him never wanted to dodge. Not only was he a dragon with his own pride, but he was a slime. Slimes only needed to protect their core from damage. A cut or a burn could be easily resisted and healed.
