Dragon Genesis: I Can Create Dragons-Chapter 185: Yep, she is their mother, alright.
"I grow faster when I fight and kill Corrupted Beasts. While training in the Royal Palace does make me stronger, it isn't comparable to fighting Corrupted Beasts.
Of course, I understand the importance of both, so I won't b—"
"You will train with me from now on."
Veylara declared, interrupting Kael.
"Huh…?"
Kael blinked.
The woman looked into his eyes and,
"You grow the strongest when you kill the Corrupted Beasts, correct?"
"Yes."
"You won't get the chance to kill them if you stay in the Royal Palace, and while learning things is important, the best way to learn is through real-life experience. Your wounds also regenerate themselves. We need to put that to use.
So from now on, I'll be overseeing your training.
Your training as a Warrior, Mage, Tamer, and a Leader—I'll oversee it all."
The woman's grin then widened and,
"As your mentor, I have to step up, don't you think?"
"But the King…?"
"I'll talk to him, don't worry."
"So are you going to take me to Corrupted Beast hunting?"
"I do plan that, yes."
"Should we go now?"
Kael questioned, somewhat excited.
Igni had already gotten stronger. The difference between him and Cirri and Vita was too big. It would be better if he levelled them up as well.
Not to mention, he also wanted to fight and push himself to the limits. Just the thought of testing his new body in a real-life battle excited him.
But…
"Hunting at night is never a good idea, Kael. Keep that in mind.
Night is the Beasts' domain."
Veylara warned.
"Beasts' domain…?"
"The Beasts you will find at night will almost always have an advantage over you. It is better to not face them."
"I understand."
Kael nodded.
The woman then took out a silver dummy shaped like a human. However, rather than feet, its legs ended in the strange form of a ball that was about a meter in diameter. There was also a white core implanted in its chest.
Kael frowned at the strange thing that was placed in front of him. Veylara then glanced at him and,
"This is a Training Dummy, an artifact Warriors use when they practice Impact Resonance.
It never falls on the ground no matter how many times you attack it, and it automatically regenerates after you cut it into ten pieces.
Continue to hit it from different angles and use different amounts of force to understand your sword and technique better. Every time your sword breaks, pick another.
Make sure you do not harm the core, else the artifact will break, and the damn thing's expensive.
For the next two hours, you will be swinging your sword at it."
The woman explained.
"I understand."
Kael nodded as he picked another sword.
Veylara stepped back, distancing herself from Kael to observe his technique.
Kael stared at the Dummy for a moment and then charged his sword. Once again, his Sword Aura was stable. At the very least, Kael had somewhat mastered Blade Infusion for this sword.
For the first few swings, he was very careful. The swings were light, the impact was low, so just infusing a little bit of Mana did the trick.
Cutting the puppet felt like Kael was cutting butter. It was so smooth that it almost felt addictive.
Kael moved slowly, his sword tracing the puppet's body before he cut it down, keeping the impact low, making sure his sword wouldn't break. But then,
"The hell are you doing? Do you plan on cutting your enemy or making love with them using your sword? Attack faster."
Veylara instructed.
Kael's mouth twitched. He, however, did as he was told and attacked faster.
The moment he did that,
Crack
His sword broke.
"As I expected."
Veylara muttered.
"I… I couldn't move the Mana in time."
Kael tried to explain, but Veylara just shook her head.
"It was my fault. I should have realized that you were using Mana Circuit to move your Mana. You are also a Mage, so it would make sense to you. I should have known."
"Huh?"
Kael frowned.
"Should I not use Mana Circuit?"
He frowned.
"Mana Circuit moves Mana all around your body before releasing it. You do that to have better control over the Mana so that you can draw runes and cast spells."
Kael nodded at those words.
"But you do not need to control your Mana here. What you need to control is the amount of Mana you inject into the sword. There is no need to use Mana Circuit here.
Speed is of the essence since you need to constantly infuse Mana into the sword. If you continue to move Mana all over your body, you will lose time and your neck."
"So…"
"So you directly release Mana from your Core, move it to your hand, and inject it into your sword."
Veylara simplified, and Kael nodded again.
He took another sword and did as he was told. Once again, his sword shined stably, and the Sword Aura was activated.
"It feels… strange."
He commented.
"It is as if I no longer have any control over my Mana."
"You will get used to it."
Veylara nodded.
"I'll make sure of that."
Kael just gulped at those words.
"Anyways, continue swinging your sword and stop worrying about the damn swords. I have thousands of them. Break all you want. If you don't end up breaking at least fifty more swords within these two hours, I'll break you instead.
And your regeneration won't help. It will only make things worse, trust me."
The woman threatened, and Kael just nodded inwardly.
'Yep, she is their mother, alright.'
Once again, he glanced at the two siblings, pitying them. But then,
"What are you waiting for? Attack!"
Veylara raised her voice.
Kael's body flinched as he quickly attacked the dummy in front of him, and then,
Crack
His sword broke.

His Flow broke because of Veylara's shout, but…
"When I say I want you to break your sword, I didn't mean you have to do it on purpose! This one doesn't count!
Pick another sword and start again! This time, if I feel like you broke the sword on purpose, I'll break you instead!"
And… for the next two hours, the training continued.
