214 6 months: Lunas Improvemen (1/2)

---

Inside a large, and illuminated room. Five silhouettes blurred into motion.

Sparks of battle scattered all over the place as their weapons clashed. Screeching steel, whistling winds, flashes of lights and grunts as well groans created a lively scene inside the room.

If one would look closely, four out of five silhouettes aren't actually humans. Sure, they appeared like humans, but they more like puppets. Only one of them was an actual human, and this is none other than Luna who's battling inside the True Light Monastery.

If one saw her in this state, they would probably think that she had seen better days.

Her sleeves are in tatters, so much so that she just ripped them apart since they were getting in the way. She had several wounds on her arms, legs and even on her cheeks. She had long since dropped her usual disguise, her hair flew with the wind, the spear in her hands blurred in motion as she defended herself from the attacks of the puppets.

Luna's gaze were fierce and determined, her eyes glowed with brilliant fighting intent. Every time she wielded her spear, air will scream and the room will shake due to the sheer force behind her strikes. Despite her ferocious strikes though, she could still control it to some extent to perform a feint or respond to any counterattacks.

The past six months of constant battle, really did a number on her though. Luna has lost count on how many cuts, wounds and broken bones she had. If it weren't for the medicines she kept with her, she wouldn't even be able to stand here today, much less hold her spear in this manner.

Of course, Luna didn't receive these injuries for nothing. The six months of constant battle deeply ingrained the basics of fighting down to her marrows. Now, no one would say that she's just a pampered princess, anyone who dares to do so, would suffer from her sheer prowess.

”Haat!” Luna yelled as she held her spear using both hands while stomping forwards with a force that shook the pillars of the monastery.

The ground cracked under her strength while her body flew forward with an astonishing speed. She raised her spear and delivered a devastating smash on one of the puppets. The thing raised its weapon to block her strike but its arms gave in from the sheer weight of her strike.

Loud snapping sounds ensued, the spear tip severed the puppet in two. Luna withdrew her spear and stepped back just in time before the rest of the attackers reached her.

She then twisted her spear and delivered a fierce thrust towards the nearest puppet to her. The puppet managed to block but the force behind Luna's attack sent it flying.

Luna twisted her body around and performed a wide sweep using her spear. The puppets blocked but one of them had their arms severed by that attack. Luna stepped forward, her body blurred then she instantly arrived in front of the puppet that was crippled.

Her body twisted mid-air, the spear came crashing down like a meteor and severed another puppet into two.

Once again, the puppets caught up to her but instead of stepping back this time, she raised her spear and performed multiple thrusts in quick succession. The spear blurred in her hands as several sharp spear tips poked multiple holes on the bodies of the remaining puppets.

With that done, the puppets were all defeated and disappeared like smoke. Luna then heard a faint jingle on her ears and an archaic voice saying: ”True Light Monastery 7th Floor: Cleared!”

Luna then sighed and supported herself using her spear. Grimacing in pain, she took out a basin from her spatial ring and filled it with water, after that she took out a vial containing a Body Restoration Fluid and infused the waters with it.

After waiting for a couple of minutes, she saw that the bath was ready so she unhesitatingly jumped on it and rested.

”Ah, Body Restoration Fluid! You're truly a godsend!” She exclaimed as she felt her body slowly recovering from the injuries she received. She could feel her body relax and grow stronger. Her spirit was being lifted as a profound sense of satisfaction filled her heart.

'I wonder how's he doing right now?' She thought inwardly, 'I know that he's a miracle worker so I shouldn't be worried, but still…'
