*Saffron*
I lowered my sword and winced. I gripped my aching side. While the wounds had healed, the pain would sometimes surge. Perhaps, I needed to get checked. It could be that they weren't properly healed.
I did not know if I should keep pushing myself. But, if I had to get stronger. I wasn't sure if I could activate Second Heaven without a trigger. I hated how it took immense pain to help me draw out my hidden strength. If only I could tap into that vast mana reserve, then I could be able to provide our forces more security.
I raised my sword and swung it again. The marines rented out the local Angelic Dome to help our remaining members train. They wanted to prepare us for what would come, since the raiders we had repelled earlier were merely the beginning of things to come.
