Third POV
Vergil has greatly benefited from his Arts now he was able to absorb mana and prana faster, he was also able to use his talent ability proficiently as well in combat. with space powers he was able to teleport with in 10 meters he called this flash step, with this ability I can catch enemy off guard.
In the next week before the banquet he has regularly done sparing with May. from unilateral beating to now he can put up a decent fight, now Vergil is able to hold his own against May but when she gets a little serious its all the same.
Vergil is like a sponge who is rapidly soaking up all the experience of May, even May is surprised by young master learning ability
Secondly, during his breakthrough his Aura star and magic circle were connected, because of this connection he is able to simultaneously use mana and prana together albeit for a short amount of time. After the limit the both the energies become incompatible
The compounding effect these two energies gives boost my strength up a notch through which I could easily fight people in higher Tier than me, my current limit is only about 15 minutes. But my limit will increase as Vergil progress forward.
Today is the day of banquet, currently Vergil is sparing with May. Vergil's Umbra colliding fiercely with May's twin blades, there aura at each other break neck. Now his swordsmanship has already formed under his understanding of Voidblade Attunement. Vergil named this sword style
Void Breathing Art
By harnessing the energy from nothingness he make his style simplified and direct. complementing perfectly with his Aura. By making complex arts simplified reduces redundant movement making his art more practical and less flashy.
cling cling
May deciding to end this started to become a little more serious, But Vergil anticipated this and backed away and started using magic
Multi-Cast: Wind Blade + Great Fireball
An advance skill, that can only be used by Tier 3 mages but Vergil is using at Tier 1 effortlessly, The wind blade and fireball released from his magic circle, went straight for May. May was able to easily deflect the magic but,
Spell Fusion: Fire Tornado
The magic combined and a form another spell that caught May off guard as it was first time Vergil used this spell Taking advantage of her moment of carless ness. Vergil Used Flash step and immediately came in front of May, his sword thrust on May and may tried to block it with her blade, but Vergil smirked and immediately rotavated on his feet and the sword rested at her neck
"Checkmate" Vergil said as his sword on May neck
"You won young Master" May said admitting defeat this time
immediately Vergil laid on the ground
"huff...huff... finally I was able to .... get one over you" Vergil said as he was exhausted but was happy
"young master you have improved tremendously " May said as she helped Vergil wiped his sweat
The relationship between the two grew as the sparred now this level of intimacy was normal for them
After some time using mana flow I was able to get back on my feet
"young master today we have to go the banquet as well" May reminded
"Is it today" Vergil asked as he frowned
Honestly Vergil was not in the mood to go to this banquet, he honestly was not sure how he would deal with all those bratty young masters
'I hope I can meet some normal people at the banquet' I thought
"also I have heard that Marquess Bellatorius daughter is very beautiful" May said as she thought
"No matter how beautiful she is, she wont be better looking than my May" Vergil teased May
"Master please don't make fun of me" May said blushing red at my remarks
Laughing and talking we made our way to the castle
Vergil POV
Evening time, I stood in front of mirror the maids began changing my clothes as the prepare an attire befitting the occasion, the dress was chosen by mother
Before I realized it, I was already dressed. As I gazed into the mirror, I was taken aback. Reflected before me was a striking figure, a young boy with impeccably styled silver hair, his eyes resembling glistening gemstones set against the night sky. He was clad in a regal purple suit adorned with intricate golden accents and cuffs, while a flowing long coat added an air of elegance to his silhouette. His fair white skin glowing under the shimmering lights.
"Young Master you look very handsome" May commented as she helped tidy my dress
"okay okay stop flattering me lets go" I said as I felt embarrassed
I made my way to the entrance as the carriage was already stationed there
We made our way to the entrance where Mother and Father awaited, both dressed elegantly, exuding their noble status.
"Good evening, Father, Mother," I greeted them.
"My, my, you look very handsome in that attire, Vergil," Mother complimented me, her smile warm and approving
"Thankyou Mother" I smiled at her
"okay lets go" father said nodded at my greeting
We made our way towards the carriage that was in the middle, a luxurious vehicle having the symbol of our barony inscribed on it, It was being pulled by two magnificent magical beasts
'I believe these are 4th order monsters, It seems a bit too ostentatious for my liking,' I mused inwardly, noting the extravagant display of wealth.
Because of the existence of Magic crystal vein the profits earned yearly my the Winchester barony is far more better than some of viscount and earls. this is also the reason why many of the nobles are jealous of us, but we are backed by the imperial family that is why that don't take it to far other than some verbal ticks
It was my first time out of the castle, as I looked at the scenery the people of the Winchester barony were in better economically as it was evident by the smiles on the people faces and happily the saluted when our entourage passed through the city
"How long will it take for us to reach Marquess Bellatorius estate" I asked Father
"The actual distance between our territories is very large , by carriage it would take several days to reach but we would be using the Warp portal, it would only take 1 hour for us to reach there" Father said
"Warp portal?" I raised my eyebrow
"Dear it's a large Teleportation device that was jointly created by many Grandmaster level Mages It requires a large amount of Mana stones to use so it is only used by nobility" Mother explained to me
Thank god I we can reach an hour otherwise I would not be able to bear it
I looked outside as we reached the Warp portal, looking at big cathedral with multiple guards stationed at it seeing the barony entourage, the guard saluted as they made way soon we came across an open area
It would seem we came at the center of the cathedral, suddenly I felt something as if the space was warping itself A big and complex mana circle appeared as I suddenly felt a little jittery. I closed my eyes and observed how the space curved and a pathway opened between them
"It seem you can see it Vergil" Father said looking at me
"Yes I seem to see a portal between two points of space but this was done at a much large scale, as the space bended opening a pathway" I replied
"Yes, because og your talent your sensitivity to space is very high that it allowed you to observe it so easily, also you don't feel nauseous" Father said
"nauseous ?"I was puzzled but than I looked at mother her face a little pale
"Mother ?" I asked worried about mother situation
"Don't worry this is a normal side effect of long distance teleportation, even now I cannot get used to it" Mother said as she reassured me
Seeing mother was fine I breathed a sigh of relief, but then again it would seem father was fine. The entourage began to move through the cathedral this time we were clearly in a different city as the entire lookout was completely different, clearly the territory was in a festive mood
'It would seem we have reached Marquess Bellatorius territory' I thought
