Chapter 29: Training session, Part 3

"I'll let you organize the training Lyanna. We'll observe from further away. Racus, Milmo I have to talk to you for a moment."
"Yes master" they answered at the same time.
("okay Master Riri")

Lya stretched for a moment before opening a portal. Her "Book of Lost Souls" appeared in her right hand. The circle grew considerably in size. Nine black Vulkores and six black Ornas emerged from the circle. They stood there completely inert, waiting for Lya's orders. Her myndo was truly impressive. Lya jumped on the shoulder of one of the Vulkores and sat down quietly. Within a minute, all the bloodhounds broke into groups of three and moved away. Some stayed with the children. 
The monsters slowly followed them to a reasonable distance. The huge bodies of the Vulkores moved, kicking up sand with each step. The Ornas , smaller in size, hopped and floated in the air. These monsters had an appearance that I found disturbing and difficult to fight. They looked like young children in every way. They had the build, the size, and the carefree, restless behavior. The difference was that the Ornas had long, pointed ears, red eyes, long black hair that fell to their feet, and a mouth full of sharp teeth. Their skins were purplish and scaly along their limbs.

Rinne finished talking with Racus and Milmo who joined the bloodhounds afterwards.

"So that's what they have to gain here?" I said, looking around at the scene.
"Sort of, yes."
"Do you think they'll stay loyal to you after they've achieved their goals?"
"I don't know. It would be nice if they did. But then again, since they can't betray me, I can at least use them until they decide to leave."
"I see."
An answer I expected from him.
"By the way, We have to train together today don't we? I hope you didn't drain your energy by facing Orion." replied Rinne with a smile and a condescending look.
My hand involuntarily grabbed my sword and I felt my cheeks twist into a smile that I tried to suppress.

"Don't worry about me."
A sly smile appeared on his face.

He turned to Orion who had been silent the whole time. His body was enveloped in spiritual energy and in an instant Orion launched himself towards the group of monsters in a frantic race, sword in hand. The sand scattered in his path creating a cloud of dust in front of us.
".... "
"Always so subtle..." murmured Rinne laughing warmly.
The training session began.
 

 
Within minutes, the echoes of an intense battle filled the valley. In groups of three, the first- and second-class bloodhounds fought against Lya's black Vulkores, while the third-class bloodhounds fought the Ornas.

"Impressive..."

I couldn't help but mutter these words as I carefully observed the various fights taking place before my eyes. The movements, the speed of execution, the coordination, everything was worked out in them. I could detect movements from various kingdoms in the gestures of some of the bloodhounds. Contrary to the fighting arts of Ruviel, which were only based on brute force, I could see several subtleties in their movements. But..

"I see that you have passed on to them my teachings. But aren't their movements a bit messy?" I asked Rinne who was taking notes next to me.
"These are not exactly your teachings."

" ? "
"Look a little more carefully."

I looked at Racus in particular. With Milmo and Pleya, he was facing an Ornas. Racus carried a one-handed sword and Milmo a large axe. Both weapons were a good match for their bodies. Pleya, on the other hand, was not using a weapon. She was manipulating spiritual energy directly with her hands. Just three third-class bloodhounds should have difficulty defeating an Ornas, but they almost seemed to take the fight lightly.

"FLASHH!!!"

From the mouth, the black Ornas shot out a beam of red energy that came crashing down where the three bloodhounds were standing. They dodged at the same time, taking their distance. A deafening sound was heard as a crater formed, raising sand to the sky and digging into the earth. The bodies of the three bloodhounds got surrounded by spiritual energy as they went on the offensive. Racus was the first to move.

"Fast..." I muttered as I watched his movements.

He was moving fast, so fast that I had to concentrate to follow him with my eyes. His steps left almost no trace on the sand. With his sword in hand, surrounded by a bluish glow, Racus moved forward, deftly dodging the beams of energy that the monster sent. Several craters formed behind him, digging into the sand and turning it black in several places.
Racus took one step closer to his enemy and ... " SLASH!!!" "SLASH!!!" "SLASH!!!"

He swung his sword at great speed. Unable to keep up, the Ornas simply blocked the attacks. The scales on its arms grew in an instant, creating a kind of shield. Racus kept swinging his sword, looking for a break. Deep cuts began to appear on the monster's body, but they were quite superficial. There was no blood coming out since it was already dead.

Racus moved around the Ornas as if he were teleporting. Sword strikes rained down, but his speed was dropping. Instinctively, the Ornas was able to keep up and began to adapt to him. This was exactly why these monsters were dangerous, their instinct. They were able to adapt to any situation. The longer the fight went on, the more difficult it was to defeat them. The Ornas did not just block Racus' attacks, it began to dodge and counterattack. Several balls of red energy appeared around him. Rays of energy shot out from them. Racus, whose speed had greatly decreased, barely dodged most of them but was hit in the leg. His blood began to gush out of his body. Quickly, he tore off a piece of his clothing and made an emergency tourniquet.

While his movements were hampered by his injury, Racus was dodging the enemy's attacks as best he could when he suddenly began to float in the air
