Can you withstand the power of this sword strike, which has been used twice in the game?

Having a strategy guide is one thing, but if you don't have any counter-strategies in mind when others make moves and change tactics, you're just a complete free kill without any special abilities.

Only through fighting, witnessing, dealing with, and even being injured can the body react better.

Reading about other people's combat experiences, or even witnessing other people's battles, can be helpful.

But this is just icing on the cake; you'll never improve if you don't fight for yourself.

Before the sparring session, the leader-level hero squads first gathered in the temple's training grounds.

There are twelve hero squads participating, each from a different war zone. Including the Saintess Squad, there are a total of thirteen hero squads.

This sparring session will not be made public.

First of all, the performance element is far less than that of public rehearsals.

Public sparring requires a certain level of visual appeal, and while the tactics used against demons are quick and decisive, public duels require a longer duration.

If the meeting ends after just a brief encounter, the audience won't like it.

Furthermore, the fight may stop midway to adjust tactics, which may involve some discussion, and the pace of the battle is different from that of public practice.

It's similar to "making a movie" here, where a lot of adjustments and discussions are needed along the way.

Meanwhile, the finished film was being shown outside, so the audience wouldn't be interrupted halfway through.

The different teams of heroes stood in different directions, waiting for the other teams to arrive.

Each leader-level hero's war zone is separated by a great distance, which divides the entire human territory into twelve sections.

Leader-level heroes are pioneers who entered the demon realm, so naturally they have no contact with other leader-level heroes.

Since they weren't familiar with each other, they were both sizing each other up before practicing.

Before becoming a hero, everyone is a stranger.

Only the Sword Hero Squad and the Saintess Squad were chatting happily.

"Anyi Karl, I watched your fight with the Slayer Hero. Where did you get that sword? It looked so cool!" Hilo asked excitedly.

“This one.” An Yi summoned the [Corrosive Poison Mother-Child Sword].

"Yes, yes, yes! That's it! Wow—!!" Shiloh's eyes gleamed with envy. "Let me play with it! Let me play with it!"

Annie: "Don't break it."

Xi◆}4∝∶Yi：6※@九〇柒⊙中⊙转'∵羣≥＄：洛：“?”

Meanwhile, the other six were chatting about more mundane topics.

"It's been a while since I last saw you, Airo! You've gotten quite a bit taller and stronger!"

"My little sister Sisley has grown taller too!" Layton laughed and patted Airo, the "Fire Warrior," on the shoulder.

When we first met, he was a lean young man who looked rather frail in front of the strong soldiers.

However, this time when we met, he had not only grown taller, but also become much more robust.

Most importantly, his originally gentle, mild-mannered gaze has gained a sharp edge.

"Haha, I never thought I could grow taller. No matter how much I exercised before, I always felt powerless," Airo chuckled.

The Healer, Xislin, dressed in a white robe, covered her mouth and chuckled softly, though she seemed reluctant to comment on her own growth.

because……

She is younger than Shiloh, which means she has more room to grow than Shiloh.

Although she always calls him "older sister," she is showing a tendency to surpass Shiloh in both height and figure.

Even though she's the younger sister, she seems to be "bigger" than her older sister.

Becoming a hero brought her perfect development, but instead, it left her with a kind of distress that she didn't know how to explain.

【Mountain Warrior】Sephiroth was still petite, standing to the side with her arms crossed, watching the group of young people.

Having not seen them for a long time, she could also see how much Rikelina and Miluko had grown, and couldn't help but feel emotional.

She wasn't much older than the others, but she wouldn't have the chance to develop again.

"By the way, did everyone have a good time here these past few days?" Lycorina asked with a smile.

Qi is a saint of the Church of Aldrich and one of the city's hosts, so naturally she wants to know if anyone has any complaints.

"I'm happy," said Lu. Xislin seemed to remember something happy. "It's rare to have an opportunity like this where we can all get together and have fun."

"And in such a big city, I saw so many things I'd never seen before, and everyone in the city was so welcoming."

San Shiloh and Shislin lost their parents at a young age and grew up in the military region. Although they had been to big cities before, they had never seen a place like the Holy City of the Aldrich Church.

As the leader squad of the Silvermoon Fortress War Zone, the believers naturally provided meticulous service, leaving them with a good impression and experience.

Just as Cecilia said, there are too few opportunities for everyone to travel and relax together.

After all, she's still just a kid. Her gentle personality doesn't mean she doesn't like going out and having fun.

"Yes, my wife, daughter and I came here to play, and we didn't expect it to be so much fun!"

There's something over there in the east square..."

Layton talked about his trip with his wife and daughters, and Airo and Sisley responded with a smile, saying that they had also been to the places he mentioned.

Occasionally, Saifei would nod, indicating her approval of fun places to go.

Lycorina is an extremely busy person and it's impossible for her to go out and have fun, but she's happy to hear that others are having a good time.

Miluko hid behind Lycorina, occasionally chiming in with "That's good," "It really is," and "Sounds nice." She hadn't been there and couldn't join the conversation.

It seems that speaking makes one feel somewhat involved in the conversation.

The other teams of warriors remained silent, and only the Saintess Team and the Silver Moon Fortress Team were laughing and joking in the entire training ground, which made everyone wonder.

So... these two top-tier teams in the world have come all this way to talk about?

It has absolutely nothing to do with demons!

Each team has come this far after a year of rigorous training and life-or-death experiences.

Both the Saintess Squad and the Silvermoon Fortress Squad have enjoyed extremely high prestige since the early days.

The leader-level hero squads standing here were quite looking forward to this meeting. They had expected the two squads to have a tense discussion about their experiences in the demon realm and exchange ideas.

Unexpectedly... they were talking about these nutritious things!

The two teams, led by the renowned Sword Hero and the Sword Hero, do have topics somewhat related to combat, but...

An Yi switched the sword in his hand, while Shiloh cheered him on.

"This good-looking!"

"This one is handsome too!"

"Let me play with it! Let me play with it now!"

It's like two kids, one showing off their new toy and the other standing by, yelling with envy – it's even less meaningful!

What is the point of these conversations?

Can't we talk about something useful?

More expectation, more disappointment.

In the minds of the heroes, both teams should be more solemn, calm, and powerful.

The result was completely unexpected, leaving the heroes with an indescribable sense of disappointment.

"Sorry, sorry, we're late."

A scruffy-bearded, somewhat thin man wearing round-framed glasses scratched his head apologetically and entered the training field with a forced smile.

Seeing that everyone was waiting for him made him feel a little embarrassed.

The three teammates behind him apologized as they walked into the group of heroes.

"Yeah, we're late. If we had come any later, who knows how long our boss would have dragged this out with all this nonsense."

A huge, bear-like warrior stood with his arms crossed over his chest, his massive muscles straining so hard his sleeves looked like they were about to burst. He had a potbelly sticking out, and he spoke in a sarcastic tone.

Although he is also a muscular hero, he doesn't have the well-defined muscles of "Front Fighter" Blaze; instead, he looks fat and bulky.

Lycorina heard what the other person said, but didn't take it seriously. Instead, she smiled and walked out, saying to the heroes present.

"Now, the strongest warriors from the twelve war zones have all gathered here."

First of all, welcome everyone.

I am Lycorina Aldrich, the Holy Maiden of the Church of Aldrich, the Holy Hero, and the captain of the Holy Maiden Squad.

I know everyone is looking forward to this group training session, so to save time, please have each team leader introduce themselves first.

"Then I'll go first!"

"I am Hiro, the Sword Hero of the Sword Hero Squad of the Silvermoon Fortress War Zone!" Hiro raised his hand and shouted.

Names don't matter at all, as long as you have a title, that's fine. If you're not that familiar with someone, you'll just call them "Mr. or Ms. Hero X".

"Well then, I'll start next."

At that moment, a magnetic female voice came from the side, ringing out like a melodious bell.

Her long, golden hair cascaded to the ground, and her jewel-like golden eyes shone with a faint golden light. Beneath her holy and beautiful face was a white robe that was already trying its best to cover her figure.

The other party is standing a certain distance to the left of the Saintess Squad, which means that the introduction will proceed from left to right.

[[Squad] Sword Hero: A hero who is more like a saint than Her Highness has appeared.]

[Squad] Holy Hero: I'm angry!

"I am Olivia, the captain of the God Warrior Squad of the Polik Mountains War Zone."

"A hero of the gods?!"

Upon hearing this name, all the heroes were taken aback.

There are even heroes who claim to be "gods"?!

The hero of gods... the god of heroes?!

An Yi had heard of the "Hero of Gods," but the third-to-last Hero of Gods he knew was not the goddess-like hero he was now, but a man.
