Chapter 178 The Way Of The Spear (3)

Two months have passed since our training started, I can barely do the 10,000 sets now....somehow, my body has become more toned over these two months probably from all the non-stop training.

I’ve wanted to stop many times now but every time I think about Luna’s words....I get back up.

Today, she called us out to our usual clearing to teach us the next part of our training, it seems that she’s decided to train Lydia as well....she did outshine me, so she must be talented.

......

All the more reason, I have to work twice as hard.

“ Well....I suppose we’ll start now.�, Luna said, getting up from the ground.

I tune out the rest of the world and concentrate on Luna, she stared at us for a second before getting into it,

“ Listen carefully now, I’m going to pass down my technique to the two of you.�, Luna’s eyes fell on me as she continued, “ You should feel honored....usually only my direct disciples would have the privilege to learn our way...you’re probably the only human to ever learn this technique.�

I nod my head.

“ Before getting into it, you have to swear an oath that you will never spread this technique.�

I once again nod my head, excited to finally get what I came here for.

~~~~

After swearing a long oath and signing a very extensive terms and conditions contract, we were ready to finally learn her famed technique. But from the way all of this was going, it felt more like I was downloading a very shady app from the play store than learning a technique.

“ So what technique are we learning ?�Lydia asked, looking excited.

Luna had a light smile on her face as she said,

“ You have two options, [The Lighting Spear] and [The Spear Of Desecration].�, Luna put forth two of her fingers before beginning her explanation,� As its name says...the lightning spear is a technique that deals with taming the power of lightning, it has a lot of raw power and is just as difficult to master.�

“What about the other one ?�, Lydia asked, her eyes twinkling strangely.

Luna lets out a sigh and said,

“ That....one is much more difficult to master, it offers much more power though.�

“ What does it do ?�I asked, interrupting her.

“ It...is a technique that goes against the natural order of the world....so which one do you want to learn ?�

Lydia and I exchanged glances, seeing our exchange Luna let out a little cough and adds in,

“ The both of you don’t have to choose the same technique to master....I can individually train both of you.�

Okay....

My choice is obviously going to be [The Spear Of Desecration], I mean it’s the better choice. I would have picked it even if I wasn’t the author cause it’s.....just so obvious that it’s the best choice.

“ I want to learn [The Spear Of Desecration].�

“ Alright...�, Luna turned to face Lydia, a hint of anticipation evident on her face as she asked her daughter, “ What about you ?�

Lydia appeared to be deep in thought, I didn’t know what there was to even think about...

She’s obviously going to choose the same as me, [Lightning Spear] is fine and all but it isn’t comparable to the [Spear of Desecration].

.......

“ I wanna learn [Lightning Spear].�

.......

What?

My eyes widened as I heard her, my eyelids threatened to burst from my sockets as I saw something even more delirious....Luna had a small grin on her face...so did Lydia. The atmosphere around me felt warm and mushy.

I don’t like this.

I don’t like this at all.

I thought that Lydia hated Luna...what the fuck is going on here?

.......

It doesn’t matter either way.

Whatever is going on between them....that’s none of my business.

“ Rest up for today....we’ll start tomorrow.�, Luna said, concluding our session for today.

~~~~

I didn’t go to sleep just yet.

‘Hup’

I continued to perform the basic moves because I couldn’t just stay still, I was excited, scared, and hopeful about tomorrow’s session but I knew that I was still lacking.

‘Hup’

That’s why I need to put in more work.

“ You’re still training ?�, a voice breaks the rhythm of my movement, I turn around to find Lydia sitting down with Rhys on her lap. The both of them watched me strangely.

“ Yeah...�

“ I wanted to talk to you....it...well...-�

“ What is it ?� I wanted her to get to the point.

“ Well.....we need to decide about what we should do about the children...�

“ What children ?�

..............

.............

OH....the ‘kidnapped’ children.

“ I want to help....but we’re too weak.�, I say, stopping my training.

I need to settle this now, I can’t have Lydia act out again like last time.

“ But we can ask her for help...�, Lydia whined.

“ As someone who saw her memories....I can say that she won’t return no matter what....all we can do is leave the children to Augustus and Leo, we need to get stronger so that we can catch the killer....so please just concentrate on that.�

.........

“ What happened to her ?�, Lydia asked solemnly.

.........

“ I don’t think I have the right to say.....anyway, I know that you want to stay here much more than me...so drop any thoughts about leaving....is that clear ?�

“ Nuh-huh, I don’t want to stay here.�, she said getting defensive,� But I’ll stay for now....�, she continued in a small voice, slightly blushing.

“Great...�, I smile, enjoying her reaction.

“ Now....come here ya punk.�, I said, snatching up Rhys out of Lydia’s lap.

During these past two months, this little bastard has been spending a lot of time with Luna.

“ What’s she doing to you ?�, I thought out loud hanging Rhys upside down and shaking him.

“ Mommy !!�Rhys screamed I could sense a little anger in his voice but I paid him no mind.

Best

“ Hahahahahahahahaahah�, Both Rhys and I stop fighting and turn around to face Lydia who had started laughing abruptly.

“ I’m glad...�, she said wiping away the tears in her eyes, “ It’s nice to see that you haven’t changed...you seemed down these past few days.�

.........

“ I suppose so....�, I said, staring at the night sky.

~~~~

“ Are you ready ?�Luna asked, taking out a spear from her sub-space.

I nod my head and watch as Luna’s eyes start glowing in a deep shade of blue, and strange symbols start appearing all around on her skin.

“ [The Spear Of Desecration] is divided into ten parts, right now I’m going to perform the first part: Birth...watch closely.�

Luna closed her eyes and took in a deep breath, she moved gracefully, her spear cut through the wind causing a small gust of wind to reach me. The spear she held felt like an extension of her body. I couldn’t comprehend the movements she was showing me right now but my eyes refused to leave her.

It was just so.....beautiful.

Soon, she stopped and stared at me, she didn’t even bother asking me if I had even understood a little of what she had shown me just now, all she said was,

“ Let us begin...�

Just like that, my training started and some time passed.
