11 Dolphins
[ Blue's Sea ]
After finishing the breakfast mark started a new training which is his proficiency rather than his body.
He started with his sword with the goal of becoming a grandmaster swordsman or even more.
For him, with the skill Ability Master, it would be such a waste to not explore everything he can and master them.
He would not be a jack of all trades with no master in one instead for him he must master and be the best of everything he can.
He started for the normal swinging until he felt that his arms would give up which last until an hour.
It was impressive enough because the sword he was using was not normal instead it was a cursed sword that have the ability to consume his stamina with every swing.
The more stamina he feeds it the stronger it would be so training using it would make him a good amount of endurance in his human form because if it's in reaper form it would be meaningless.
He plans from now on to only use his reaper form if it's really necessary or he felt like it was needed or if he obtains a scythe.
As for dealing with weaklings of the same strength, he would use his human form or order he summon to deal with it.
As for Valerie, he would not allow her to participate much in battle even if she has the skill of blood consumption because she was better at being a healer or a doctor if you prefer it that way.
After swinging for a while he started phase two which is to spam the air slashes until he ran out of stamina.
His air slashes are as long as 6 feet tall and as thick as an adult arm, they can cut through steel like butter and he can make it bigger and stronger as long as he feeds a large amount of his stamina on the sword.
Tōboe no urami is a sword he was lucky to obtain and he feels very good about it.
Suddenly he receive a warning from his crows, and they saw a big shadow charging toward the ship which is identified as a sea king.
He looks at his sword and said with a grin
"it seems like you would be able to taste blood once again Tōboe".
Walking at the front of the ship he stared at the sea king which is closing towards them, it was a lion-type sea king.
It would be a good test subject for him, he wants to see how strong it would be if he face all his stamina toward his sword.
As it got closer he hold Tōboe closer to his chest and he gave every bit of stamina toward it.
Tōboe no urami started releasing a black mist filled with a dangerous aura.
After charging for a bit he swung it with full power and a black present slash came out to the sword heading to the sea king.
The sea king tried to run away but it was already too late, it was sliced in half from head to back and the behind it was also slashed leaving a crevice.
Mark started breathing heavily but was full of a smile looking at the destruction his sword slash caused.
He names it Cresent Moon which is gonna be his first sword skill.
After resting for a while he started to practice other weapons from daggers, axes, spears, bows, etc.
From daggers, he tries it while moving fast like an assassin, he focuses on agility and precision.
For axes, he uses it with brute strength and agility like a berserker.
For spears, he practices it with control and flexibility.
For bows, he tries to shoot whenever a bird is flying by or the fish around him, his aim is accuracy so he has a goal to always shoot them on the head and another part is unacceptable if they are not a vital one.
As such it became a routine for him, early in the morning he train his body after that his weapon proficiency then he would be the one to cook the dinner to practice his cooking.
He also practices his techniques, skills, ability, and reaper form, he also always checks if there is a chance to have a new summon.
As for Valerie, he let her train her healing power after he injured and subdue some sea kings who he used to pull their boats.
They would sometimes encounter stupid pirates who would try to rob them but instead would be buried beneath the sea.
Thankfully even if Valerie is kind she was not naive and would only show her kindness to people she deems worthy.
Fafnir and Glaurung also already started their training, they would sometimes follow his training and spam their fire breath until it run out which is pretty effective because they are able to make it longer after every time they exhausted it.
Even the skeleton started training among themselves giving birth to a skeleton general of each class along with a general wraith and an alpha crow.
No one in the boat wanted to be left behind so everyone trained together like a mad man, as for those who would have lazed around they would be punished by mark.
There are also two new members which are two sea kings both had a look at dolphins so mark decided to subdue them instead of making them his meal.
Valerie also likes them very much because she thinks that they look very cute and would not let mark hurt them.
As for the reason they were alive it was more of the latter than the former.
Mark trained them on speed and would shoot an arrow at them while they are swimming around so they would both benefit.
First, he would be able to practice archery second he would be able to train the dolphins more in speed.
As such a week has passed of them training madly and finally spot a new island.
