Chương 64: Weaponry (2)
Regina's PoV
After going back to the booth I asked the [Rook] Tsubasa Yura's opinion.
"What do you think?" I asked while removing the glove.
"It looked pretty fun to use, It is also versatile and can be used as a ranged weapon. But I have to ask how strong is the shield?" She asked me as during the fight it didnt break.
"That would depend on the user. The shield would become stronger the more powerful the user is, it depends on how much power you use to create the shield. It would also adapt to its user so the basic shield wouldn't expend too much of your demonic energy. The shield should it break can also be created anew so you don't have to worry about it that much. Although only one shield can produced currently we can spend some time to upgrade it later. Same for the other regalia we gave you."
After explaining briefly we went to the mage section we were originally going to earlier. From the shelves were staves and other various polearms for battlemages as well as swords for sword mages.
I then noticed that one of the [Bishop] Reya Kusaka was looking at something. I followed her gaze and saw a group of globes. Labeled there was 'Astral Puppets'
"Your interested in that?" I asked her. To which she nodded. I then signalled Raina to demonstrate it for her.
"This one is called 'Astral Puppets' it is commonly used in surveillance due to its shared vision and remote control away from the user. It can also act as a catalyst in using magic, doing so would release the magic from each of them. Should you become able to master it you would be able to sneak attacks some enemies. It also comes with a transformation function that lets it transform into small animals such as birds"
Raina then demonstrated as the orbs flew and formed different magic in each of them.
This Regalia was created for me to practice a while back. My gate of babylon also contains staffs and mystic codes that can be used to fire magic. I created that one for me to practice since using the staffs in my treasury would be hard in the beginning as unlike just firing blades I need to create magic for each one of the staves, though I later found a solution that fixed that problem. It was a fighting style I rarely use as firing blades from the treasury is stronger than using the staffs with magic as it lacks the versatility of using the weapons as projectiles (ex. Holy Swords against Demons, Dragon Slaying Weapons against Dragons,etc.), I occasionally practice that way of fighting sometimes for fun and in cases of emergencies. These orbs are an easier version to control and let my practice before I tried the staves in my treasury.
"It may be hard at first however it is quite powerful when used correctly." Raina added as she explained the different ways of using it that she knows. By the way, Raina herself is more skilled in using them as a magician, thats why I let her show it off since she is more skilled in magic.
After Reya's turn it was now Momo's turn to choose a regalia. We showed her a few items until she settled with 'Aurelion Wall' a barrier type of regalia. It will depend on how skilled she is at control to make sturdy barriers. The barriers can also be used as blunt objects although that depends on how strong the enemy is and how strong she made them.
For the [Pawn] 'Riruka Nimura' she chose the regalia, 'Procellarium Phantom'.
That regalia originated from Father's design on artificial Sacred Gears which we combined along with our knowledge of the sacred gear [Sky Strider] which belonged to a member of Regulus Dominion.
Both the regalia and the aforementioned sacred gear are leg based sacred gear that boosts speed as well as kicking capabilities. It can also allow the user to kick the air allowing fast turns using the air as a foot hold. As a side it also has added boosters at the side that increases kicking abilities upon impact, however doing so is really draining.
"Sona how about you?" I asked her as everyone except Saji already had their own Regalias.
" I'm good. I have no need for weapons as I mainly use our clan's ability."
"I have to disagree with that, although you may feel insecure about it due to other high class devils potentially looking down on you for it. Using weapons aren't shameful." I said to her knowing what she is thinking.
Most pure blood high class devils in the underworld rarely uses weapons except for a few. They mostly rely on their innate demonic power and uses magic than use weapons. Most of the devils that use weapons are commonly those from peerages.
"How about this one to help you cast more powerful magic?"
Finally agreeing after some convincing, Sona finally relentled and accepted.
"That one is called Ocean's Might. It has the ability to boost water magic. As for the abilities... I'll let you figure it out.", I said with a mysterious smile.
We then came back to the Training Grounds. I called the [Knight] Meguri and [Rook] Yura along with the [Pawn] Riruka. I let the others and Saji continue with control training.
"Firstly, Meguri. I want you to practice with this." Saying so I handed her a metallic sword. "This technique is called [Aura Coating]. A really convenient skill especially for swordsmen and other frontline fighters. It involves coating the blade with your mana or rather in your case Demonic Power. This is a stick version of those balls earlier designed for that training, but for demonstration I will use this regular tree branch."
I then asked Ilya to create a stick from a tree and coated it with Aura. I then performed [Holy Line] towards the shooting ground where many dummies are positioned.
"As you can see I was able to make the branch as a substitute for a sword without it breaking using [Aura Coating]. Although it was weaker than a real sword, I was still able to do a strong attack without it breaking." I then once more coated the branch as I swung to the training dummies cutting it cleanly in half using just a branch.
"Even without techniques it is still pretty sharp like a sword when I used it just then. Now imagine using it on a real sword." I said to her which caused her to have a grin as she knew of the implications.
"Well I will leave you to it now." She nodded as she went to the side to begin training.
"Now then Riruka. I want you along with the control training to get used to your regalia. I have already prepared a training course for you to do." Saying so I nodded at Ilya as she pressed a button on a wall which opened up the area to the training course. There were various obstacles along with traps in it.
"I want you to finish this course in just 10 mins at the minimum. Of course you can strive for a faster record. However for now just try to complete that task." She then nodded as she went towards the course and started training.
"Now then Yura. I want you to train with Alyssa over here." I then called Alyssa who was watching them train at the side with Medea.
"From her you will learn how to fight with that shield." I told her.
Alyssa was one of the most proficient at using different weapons here other than Ilya. She is pretty skilled at using the shield so I entrusted her to Alyssa.
I then looked at Medea who nodded as she went to Sona and the bishops to train them in the usage of magic. As someone who specializes in magic she is the perfect candidate to be their teacher if you take Raina out of the equation, She has something to do later so Medea substituted for ber.
I then went over to Tsubaki while Ilya wanted to train and guide Meguri in the path of the sword.
"I'll be training you this time." I told her. Who noticed me arrive.
She nodded as we started to train. I trained her similar to Yuuto-kun and developed her senses and reaction speed by firing countless swords from my sacred gear. Besides that there is also the the control training that they do. We also added stamina training for the whole peerage especially for the mage types who has low stamina.
Ah right on a side note Saji like Issei was being trained by Nanashi when the others are training with their respective teachers. We also added Nanashi's polishing to the whole peerage for their training. Especially for those who show many openings. Speaking of Pawns, Sona's other [Pawn], Riruka was trained by Jiaojiao after she managed to improve on the obstacle course since they have the same type of style of fighting due to how Riruka's Regalia was based on Jiaojiao's sacred gear.
