"Uriel, activate the training module," he asked, a faint smile on his face.
[Affirmative,] the AI's voice came through. [Training mode initializing…]
Hearing that, Zion covered his arms in new, shiny scales. His unique sword also pierced through his knuckles, completely repaired and sharper than before.
'Back at the Mercenary Guild, I could only take on level fourteen,' he thought, raising his sword in front of him. 'I wonder how far I can reach this time.'
As his surroundings finished changing, a familiar shadowy figure appeared in front of him, holding a longsword in its hands.
The shadow moved first, its longsword coming toward Zion in a clean, horizontal arc.
Zion swung his sword down, meeting the longsword in the air.
A loud metallic sound echoed through his ears as the shadowy figure's sword bounced back, completely overpowered.
