Volume 3 Chapter 120-3 Sarah’s Training!
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
”I can’t imagine it. Even if we were separated, if I still loved you, I might raise that child. Especially if the child looked just like you.”
”That’s impossible. Your way of thinking is unbelievable.”
”Hey, after asking such a strange question, you can’t say that.”
”But it’s the child of someone who abandoned you, right? You’d be completely responsible for child support and taking care of them. It’s totally different from happily raising the children of the same husband in a harem. If it were me, I’d absolutely refuse.”
Sarah seemed angry with Colinna.
Certainly, what Colinna was doing was terrible from an objective perspective, but from her point of view, she was doing her best. If Barghest said it was okay, she might have taken advantage of that.
People tend to interpret things in a way that benefits them.
It wasn’t that Colinna didn’t care about the other person.
She was a woman of the special Wolfmen race, but inside, she wasn’t much different from an ordinary woman.
Kian, who was originally indifferent to others, genuinely didn’t care about Colinna.
It would have been impactful if she had gone to Glen to be embraced, then, when Barghest returned, shown him the scene of the cuckolding and said something like, “I lost to this c*ck♡,” breaking Barghest’s mind, but it ended up being within the range of common sense.
After this quest was over, he would have forgotten about her.
”More importantly, I want to train quickly.”
”Yeah. Shall we go?”
Sarah smiled, as if shaking off her gloomy mood, then left Kian behind and ran ahead.

After finishing stretching and warm-up exercises, they fought in the wide corridor of the ancient temple.
It was called training, but instead of confirming stances, they began fighting seriously from the start.
Of course, she didn’t use Windsong Blade, but since Sarah had coated the rock sword she forged with ‘impact,’ it could cause bleeding and break bones if it hit.
It was a realistic training session only possible because both had regenerative abilities beyond those of humans.
”Shh.”
Sarah’s sword sharply pierced Kian’s left thigh, causing him to lose his balance.
He was then hit hard in the face and fell to the ground.
If vampire powers were used, countermeasures would have been possible, but now it was training to hone the skills of a warrior monk. Kian dodged Sarah’s sword, which was coming at him like a finishing move aimed at his heart, rolled away, and threw a small stone he was holding at Sarah’s abdomen.
’Blast’──.
Sarah’s body was blown away, bouncing around on the rocky ground like a broken doll.
Kian was already up, moving into a stance to unleash ‘Pursuit of the Shadow’.
(Secret Technique)
”────! Tsk…”
Sarah tried to escape Kian’s reach, but Kian had already jumped off the rocky ground even faster.
One step.
Two steps.
Three steps.
There was no fourth step; at the moment of the third step, Kian slashed Sarah’s neck with a sharp sword.
However,
”Too naive!”
Speaking in Azrael’s language, Sarah easily avoided Kian’s ‘Pursuit of the Shadow’.
She used ‘threads’ to propel her body into the air.
Then, taking advantage of the moment Kian slowed down to adjust his posture, Sarah’s sword deflected the sword Kian had raised to defend, and she pierced his chest with a sharp thrust. One.
They both healed their physical injuries instantly, and the clash ended.
”That makes ten losses. I can’t even score a hit.”
Kian raised both hands in a gesture of surrender while muttering.
He appeared calm, but inside, he was filled with regret.
Why couldn’t he score a single hit?
Why was ‘Pursuit of the Shadow’ so easily avoided?
It made no sense.
In Kian’s mind, if limited to his abilities as a warrior monk,
Natra >>>>> Kian ≧ Rufna >>>>> Sarah
was the understanding he had.
But this was different.
It was as if he had no chance against Sarah at all.
The sense of powerlessness he felt as a child was coming back, and his vision was turning pitch black.
”Phew, your insight has returned quite a bit. As expected, if you’re only involved in politics, your sword will become dull.”
”Have you been hiding your strength until now?”
”Huh?”
”I’m surprised you couldn’t take even one down. Could it be you’re stronger than Natra?”
”No, that girl is also strong, so I don’t know who is stronger…”
”────”
Sarah’s attacks were incredibly heavy, one strike after another.
Given her gorilla-like strength, it was to be expected, but he has to admit he underestimated her since his own strength has increased.
Moreover, her ki cultivation speed is astonishingly fast.
The real Sarah surpasses Oswald in terms of the speed at which she can deploy techniques.
Kian gritted his teeth.
(Inexperienced! Absolutely inexperienced!)
But it wouldn’t be interesting otherwise.
This kind of setback is necessary in the process of becoming stronger.
”Heh, hehehehe…”
”Hey, Kian, are you okay? Could it be you’re feeling down?”
Sarah approached Kian, who had bowed his head without moving, with a worried expression.
Even when Kian shook his head saying, “No,” Sarah poked his forehead with, “Liar. You’ve got a serious look on your face.”
”No, this is… sorry. It might seem childish, but I regret losing in a sword fight… Even though I’m in the middle of training, I’m truly sorry.”
”I think those feelings are important.”
”Why did I lose? Why are each of your strikes so heavy? It’s like our reaction speed and ki cultivation speed are completely different.”
