Chapter 309 Training

[Aisha's POV]

"Now that he is gone, I guess the responsibility of teaching you guys automatically comes on me," I told them as I analyzed each of their power levels.

Caroline was the weakest among the three. She had little combat experience with a power she didn't hold anymore. Her eyes have determination to be strong, so at least there is some hope.

'I guess I will take it as a positive sign since I can build a firm foundation for her,' I nodded before moving ahead.

Next was Irene. She was stronger than Caroline, but weaker than Angela. Though if I am not wrong, most of her powers come from the basic enhancement of one's physical capabilities. It's more like she had been going through the correct posture over and over until her body adapted to it, increasing her overall capabilities.

Though exactly because of that, teaching her any form of weapon art would be easier than teaching her magic.

'But still, in the end, we will need her to use at least one form of magic to make sure she doesn't fall short in any circumstances.' I pondered what kind of combination should I teach her?

And finally, the strongest among the bunch, Angela. Honestly, she was strong enough to take on a lower God by herself. Though presumably that is her limit. I could see there is a strong curse placed upon her that doesn't allow her to break free into a higher form, even though she had crossed her limit long ago.

'I wonder who placed this curse on her. Even though I don't know how exactly this curse works.. but just because we can't increase her base power, doesn't mean that we can't make her anymore stronger,' I smiled as I had just the thing for her.

Though before that..

"Take these," I said as I passed them a bunch of stones of different varieties. These were energy stones that I collected during my travels throughout Visca and Orion.

"What are these?" Angela asked, as it was probably her first time looking at them.

"Energy stones. Well, it would be better to brief you about energies first," I spoke out as I began explaining to them what the energy stones were.

In theory, there are infinite forms of energy, a single form suited for every single individual. If the individual practices that form of energy, he or she will attain immortality and insane growth.

But in reality, people only found about 1000 or so forms of energy, most of which were useless. When the Higher Gods found out about energies, one of the Higher Gods, Weqi, was particularly interested in them. She studied them extensively to the point she created a list of the energies and their power levels.

At the top was Divine Energy, which can be used only by divine beings, and the rest came below it. Within the list, the top energies were:

Aura

Ether

Pure Elemental Energy

Silva

Energy of Hell

Ascended Mana

Corrupted Elemental Energy

Dark Aura

And finally, Space Form

Though this was based on the affinity which Weqi had for herself. Different individuals had different affinity, so the energies could be shuffled. Though the top 10 energies never left the top 10 spots.

In the end, these 10 energies, including the Divine Energy, were later named as the Universal Energies.

"And these crystals will help you assess which energy is best suited for you. If you have even one percent of affinity with any of these 10, I can help you get strong by practicing them," I explained to them about the purpose of the crystal and then nodded.

"A drop of blood would be enough to activate it," I explained the method to utilize the crystal, and those three nodded at me. Their eyes observed the crystals as they began pouring drops of blood one by one into the crystal through their fingertips.

I observed Angela first. Since she controls darkness, she should at least hopefully be able to use Dark Aura. historical

"Oh! Swwweeeettt!!" I shouted, brimming with laughter as I looked at Angela, really being able to connect with the Dark Aura. It wasn't a surprise, but still the remaining doubt got cleared with this.

"Hmmm.. a total of 13% affinity. Good, we will work on your affinity as we grow. That will be the first step. Hmmm.. just in case, try it with the other energies as well," I explained to her. I looked at Caroline and Irene, still trying.

There wasn't any hurry, so I waited for them to check all the crystals. Even if it were 1% it should be fine.

"Ah! It glowed!" Irene spoke out of surprise as she lit up one of the energy crystals. There was more relief on her face than surprise, though. I guess she took it quite seriously.

"Let's see. You have Ascended Mana, huh? How peculiar. I wished it to be Aura, but okay.. it's fine, it's still good enough," I patted Irene as she smiled brightly before moving to check the other crystals.

Her affinity was about 8%. Since she doesn't have a solid foundation, I think we can hope for 40% affinity by the end of the training?

"Miss Aisha!!!" Caroline shouted in excitement as I saw the second last crystal in her hand glowing. She was really fighting there, wasn't she?

Looking at her glowing stone, it seems like she has a high affinity, too.

"Ooh! You got Ether, huh? Good! And 18% affinity without any foundations.. " I kept my mouth shut as I observed the sweet little kid.. she was going to be a monster in the future.

"It's going to be really fun teaching," I mumbled in a sheepish laugh as I looked at her, taking a few steps back as she looked at me with a fear filled expression.

Though before I could speak a word, a bright light appeared from one of the crystals that Angela held. It was so bright that it almost overwhelmed me.

But the crystal.. my eyes turned rather narrow at the crystal.

"Corruption Energy, huh?" I would have loved it if it were any other energy. A low affinity was fine as well, but..

'It's at least 80%...'

Angela then let go of the crystal before looking at me, while I turned to Caroline and Irene.

"You both also check the last crystal," I said, suspecting something. If my hunch is right, it will also glow much as bright as hers..

And yeah... As soon as they dropped their blood from their fingertips, the energy stone began glowing with a bright light. The intensity was like the one which Angela's stone showed.

I sighed as I collected Ether and Aura in my hand, before looking at the trio, confused as they stayed there.

"Stand there and do not resist," I commanded them, making them alarmed a little as they braced themselves.

-Whoosh!

Collecting the surrounding air, I filled it with the energies I had collected, then reshaping it in a form of air slash. I pushed it towards them, such that it would hit all three of them at once.

-Slash!

The energy passed through them, taking away the corrupted energy from their body. It pushed them to a distance. But that wasn't just the end.

That energy escaped from their body, began reforming and joining as it started taking the form of a human.. or, to be precise, a humanoid devil.
