”Huff! Man! Why do we have to dig the graves?!”
A middle-aged demon slayer grumbled as he pushed the shovel deeper into the ground before overturning the dirt.
”Just think of it as saving ourselves the trouble of fighting them at night.”
A well-mannered youth replied with a cheerful smile. If he could avoid unnecessary fighting, he would do anything to make that true.
As the youth threw up another pound of dirt, his vision focused on skeletal construct as a rotten stench filled the entire graveyard.
Right before the youth's eyes, the skeletal construct burst into flames while a muffled screech rang throughout the graveyard, attracting every worker's attention as the optimistic youth fell back on his butt in a stupor.

”Why are we even training today?”
Rei inquired with her expression painting her confusion. She gazed at the topless Nik with his upper body covered in sweat as he stood in the same position for half-an-hour while the veins of his body popped all over his arms and chest with a scant few tracing up from the hidden crotch.
”You guys are to spar from today onwards,” Nik's breathing grew heavier as the fisty percent increase of gravitational force over his body was already a challenge that his body could barely endure, ”The Zombies at the beginning will be weak and slow, presumably, they will steadily grow stronger, so it would be better that you start sparring with each other and then apply the lessons learned here in an actual battle until we all can afford to keep you safe.”
Unlike the previous few days, instead of exploring the [Tome of Battle], Nik decided to pick up his old project once again— The Breath of Gravity.
His insights in the breathing forms were as scarce as his insights on the working of gravity, but he felt that it would be a nice change of pace for his mentality to pick up one of the old projects and gaze upon the problem with a different angle. Of course, no amount of tilts in angles could provide Nik with answers as to how he could utilize the element of Gravity to enhance his physique.

The improvement to Nik's physique de to his evolution had finally slowed down, but it was far from over. Instead of the obvious changs to his body, Nik could easily perceive minute changes to his organs and as slow as he progress was, Nik presumed that this particular phase was far more important than the changes to his muscles and skeletal structure.
