Liam was standing opposite Mira in the forest where she teleported them.
"B-master we are in the middle of a forest, how aren't you going train me here. " Liam almost called her by her name, but when he saw her raise an eyebrow he quickly called her 'master '
"This place is called the Nightmare Zephyr forest, it is full of strong, wild and deadly beasts and those beasts are what you will be battling, but first you'll train with me. " A frightening and diabolical smile appeared on her face when she said this.
Liam felt a shiver creeping up his spine when he heard those words coming out of her mouth
'how can she say that with a smile on her face ' he thought
"Take off your clothes. " She said without batting an eye
"What?! why should I take my clothes off. "
"I do the talking here while you obey like the cute disciple you're. " Liam felt a sinister aura coming out of her when she narrowed her eyes as she said those words to him. He knew that if he didn't obey, she'll probably beat the shit out of him.
He immediately began to take off his clothes, leaving only his brief intact. His body shivered under the cold wind
"Well then we shall begin, take this sword, you're gonna use it to attack me...and don't worry I placed a sound barrier around us so no one can hear your scream." Mira said as a longsword magically appeared in her right hand, it was as if the longsword was brought out of space, then she threw it to Liam. When he caught the sword, he felt the sword weighs alot despite it appearance.
"Wait why will I screa-..." Liam couldn't finish his word when he felt immense pain coarsing through his body, he felt his body exploded in pain. He vomited blood as the taste of blood flooding his mouth. Blood splattered onto the floor beneath him, mingling with the grass and dirt in the Zephyr forest. When he looked down at his left lung, what Liam saw shocked him to the core, Mira hand bored a bloody hold through his chest, he felt her hand holding his heart, the smile on her face scared the shit out of him.
"B-big sis...w-wh-y. " Liam stammered with his mouth full of blood, he felt his consciousness wavering, meaning he's about to lose consciousness because of the excruciating pain he is feeling .
"I'm sorry hubby but this is your training, you're gonna fight me with a bloody hole on your heart, don't worry I've used magic to destabilize the healing factor of your body, so now you can't heal yourself, now pick up that sword and attack me or you're going to die. " She said as she removed her hand from the large wound on his heart, then she licked the blood on her hand.
"Mmm hubby your blood is delicious , it's the sweetest thing I've ever tasted hubby. "

[Master can you hear me, if you can hear me master, please don't fall unconsciousness or you'll lose your life, I don't want to lose you master ] Ophis said with a tone of desperation.
Although Liam couldn't hear or see what the system said, he heard Ophis voice loud and clear.
"D-don't worry Ophis I won't fall unconscious. " Liam told Ophis with a bloody mouth.
He picked up the longsword, holding it with trembling hands. He rush at Mira swinging the sword over her head.
"Ahhh I'm gonna whoop your ass. " Liam cried out with anger.
Mira moved sideways avoiding the blade.
She snorted. "Pathetic you can't even hold a blade properly, such wasted talent. "
"Shut the fuck up. " Liam shouted as he started gathering mana to cover his blade, stabbing the mana coated blade at Mira direction.
Mira hold the sword in place with two fingers, then she threw the sword away kicking Liam's face with her heels.
Liam's body was trembling, he felt his consciousness wavering.
'i have to continue fighting so that I can stay conscious ' he said in his mind as he picked the sword again, moving towards Mira with astonishing speed.
'Ahh~my hubby is getting stronger...I'm sorry little Liam but you have to get stronger, so you can take me to bed and ravage my body with your strength ' okay this woman is a loss cause. She is completely obsessed with Liam, that she'll even hurt him to make Liam stronger.
When she looked up at Liam, she saw his iris changing their colour from the usual haunting amethyst to Blood red and his sclera changing from white to pitch black.
She showed a faint smirked when she saw a purple, black and red aura surrounding Liam, his blade was also covered in the same aura.
"Sword technique: blade dance." Liam muttered as he executed his technique he got from the system.
Suddenly Liam vanished for a split second and reappear behind Mira, Mira saw clearly that Liam didn't vanish but was very fast, but if an average cultivation mage or warrior saw it, they will think that Liam disappeared. What Mira saw was Liam running slowly like a child, the reason for this was Mira strength has passed that of godhood, so she can crush Liam with a flick of her hand, if Liam knew that Mira was toying with him, he would probably commit suicide.
He moved with trajectory swinging his blade towards Mira's side.
***
A long time has passed since the battle started, many beast of lower rank ran away so they won't get killed by the shockwave created by the battle.
Liam didn't know how long he has been fighting, whether it was hours, days or months, he didn't know. What he knew was that he can't continue fighting.
"I-i c-can't feel my body, I think I'm gonna take a long nap. " Liam said as he staggered, then he lost consciousness falling to the ground but Mira caught before he could hit his head on the ground.
"You did well hubby, I'm proud of you. " She pecked Liam on his forehead as she removed the magic she placed on Liam, allowing his body to heal itself.
"Sniff... sniff... I love you my hubby~"
