Chapter 814 Children need the right education
Vorenus had never imagined he could win.
Using teleportation in front of Amy was a huge risk.
He thought Amy might disdain to attack him while he teleported, but he also believed it was impossible for him to land a hit on Amy under those circumstances.
Yet, against all odds, he succeeded.
He actually managed to hit Amy.
The feeling was incredibly surreal.
How could it have been successful?
Seeing Amy lying in the huge crater, Vorenus could hardly believe his eyes.
Was this the same person who could easily suppress her own power?
Amy didn't concede defeat,she soared into the sky to continue the battle with Vorenus.
It was clear that close combat wasn't Amy's strong suit, especially without weapons.
After this round of fighting, Vorenus quickly realized that Amy might not be as strong as he had thought.
This was his warrior's intuition.
Amy had to gesture every time she cast a spell.
Although her movements were quick, speed is relative.
In the time it took Amy to gesture her spells, Vorenus could have attacked her hundreds of times.
Because of this, when Amy got up again, she faced a barrage of attacks and had no chance to retaliate.
Before she could complete her gestures, Vorenus's fists were already landing on her.
It was like a classic battle between a warrior and a mage.
Amy, the mage, got her spells interrupted every time.
In less than ten minutes, Amy, eyes red, pulled out the Sword of the Abyssal Guardian.
Even though she wore the battle armor given by the sea god Poseidon, Vorenus's punches landed solidly on her, some even hitting her face, causing unavoidable pain.
"Why can't I use a sword?" Amy shouted in protest.
Seeing her wield the Sword of the Abyssal Guardian, Vorenus instinctively backed away several hundred feet.
This was playing dirty!
"Miss, we agreed no weapons," Vorenus pleaded earnestly.
This was no longer a game,she was ready to kill him with one strike.
He was utterly confused by the situation.
Amy's strength was undeniable.
Perhaps she wasn't adept at hand-to-hand combat, but with a sword, Vorenus felt he might meet a gruesome end.
Amy's healing abilities were strong, but when a child is hit, they don't think about rules.
They either cry or draw their sword!
"I don't care, you can use weapons too!" Amy had learned swordsmanship from Poseidon and more from William. It was absurd to fight this giant and not be allowed to use her sword. Wasn't that just bullying?
Vorenus was speechless.
He had weapons, but were they on the same level?
This kid was really pushing it!Why not just end it quickly with one decisive strike?
Puffing her cheeks, Amy held the Sword of the Abyssal Guardian, her energy bursting forth like a flood. Angered, she prepared to use the sword techniques William had taught her.
Vorenus was completely suppressed by William in terms of power level and mental strength, but Amy was unaffected. Her powerful spirit locked onto Vorenus.
Vorenus felt a terrifying energy pressure envelop him. If his power hadn't been suppressed, this wouldn't have been a big deal, but now he was just a Nature Deity.
With various artifacts boosting her spirit, plus the secret sword technique taught by William and the power of the Sword of the Abyssal Guardian, Amy's next strike would surely be lethal.
"Amy, you've already lost! We agreed no weapons, and drawing your sword means you concede. Come down now! It's Silas's turn." Although William was indulgent and loved this somewhat foolish child, Amy needed to continue growing and living in this human world.
As a social creature, she had to learn to follow some rules.
Otherwise, Amy would just become an arrogant, unpleasant person.
Unless she turned into a lonely, unfeeling, cold deity.
Clearly, William didn't want that for her.
When Amy heard she had lost, her expression was full of grievance.
She felt she could still have beaten Vorenus.
If it were a contest of swordsmanship, she definitely wouldn't lose.
This time, William didn't stand by her side.
"Alright!" Although Amy was angry, she sheathed her sword and reluctantly returned to William's side.
William ruffled Amy's hair and asked, "What's wrong, not happy?"
Amy pouted and remained silent.
"Keep your word," William said earnestly. "You promised not to use the sword. Breaking your word is not acceptable!"
"Your two masters must have taught you the importance of integrity. You must do as you say!" William didn't need to think twice,Poseidon wouldn't have taught Amy just spells and combat skills. He surely taught her some life lessons too.
Amy, at her young age, possessed so many top-tier artifacts and had formidable combat abilities. If not guided properly, she could easily stray onto the wrong path.
"I understand," Amy said, her head bowed. She took a deep breath, then looked up at William and said, "Mr. Johnson, I was wrong."
"Yes, recognizing your mistakes is good," William affirmed. He believed in some of the world's standards of right and wrong, many of which had arisen because of him.
William didn't believe in the inherent goodness of human nature.
At her age, if Amy wasn't guided properly, who knew what she might become.
Vorenus breathed a sigh of relief when Amy sheathed her sword.
Silas, seeing Amy return, eagerly looked up at Vorenus in the sky.
Mr. Johnson had said they would fight with their powers equalized.
Silas had rarely experienced real combat since he began his training.
Now that the opportunity was before him, he couldn't pass it up.
Even if the opponent was formidable, he wanted to try.
As a mid-level Soulmancer, Silas could already fly.
He flew up to Vorenus, wielding a small wooden sword.
Vorenus thought this was too easy.
Fighting Amy might have unnerved him, but fighting Silas...
Just a kid, and judging by his flying posture, a weak one at that.
"Begin!" William shouted from the mountaintop.
As soon as he spoke, Silas was sent flying with a punch from Vorenus.
What followed in the fight doesn't need to be said.
Silas was completely overpowered.
Despite all the spells he had learned from William, he couldn't use a single one.
In less than half a minute, he was bloodied and lying on the ground, barely breathing.
He didn't have Amy's array of top-tier artifacts to protect himself.
Injured, it was already fortunate he wasn't killed.
Vorenus smiled. According to the agreement, he could finally leave this world alive.
