Chapter 736: Shooting Practice

"I finally made it... Huff, phew..." Elysia staggered as she hit her physical training target for the day. She almost fell, but Rhea immediately supported her body.

"Congratulations~ Allow me to take care of you." Rhea deactivated all the gravity formations and helped Elysia sit on the ground. "Please don't use any healing magic. Please eat these pills first, Elysia. All of these will help you build a stronger body gradually and naturally. Worry not. With all this training, you won't become a muscle woman like what you worry about."

"Uh, okay... But my whole body hurts. I don't have any strength left." Elysia checked the pills at Rhea's palm. It was like supplements and vitamins like what she got at the magic academy.

"Here, please open your mouth." Rhea gave Elysia the pills and a bottle of fresh water. She helped Elysia swallow it.

"Thank you." Elysia appreciated the extra care and heaved a relieved sigh.

After that, Rhea helped Elysia out of the deactivated formation. She gave a similar pill to Ella and Evelyn.

"Whoa, that's unfair, right? We went through much tougher training, but we didn't get anything like that..." Sylvia complained.

"You are already at Saint-level, and your body is strong enough for your level. To pass the next stage, you need more than just training. Our human friends' physical abilities are not that strong, even for Elysia. We don't want them to be glass missiles for too long, considering the inevitable is getting closer." Rhea shook her head.

"I see... I'm sorry for complaining without knowing the reason." Sylvia instantly felt guilty. She is fully aware that her human friends are not as strong as her physical strength, including even Elysia.

"Uhm, when are we going to practice accuracy? It's embarrassing to say, but my accuracy is pretty bad." Elysia sat down and raised her hand. After using healing magic, her body no longer hurts.

"We can do that this afternoon if you like, Elysia. What kind of weapon would you like to use in accuracy training? Different weapons will have different training methods." Rhea didn't mind holding the practice any time as long as Elysia requested it.

"Let's start with arrows, pistols, shotguns, cannons, and others. I just need to improve my accuracy to a decent point." Elysia smiled innocently to declare that.

"Mm~ Do you still have the gift from my father, Ely? There are plenty of pistols, rifles, and even advanced cannons. We can use that for your accuracy practice. I can tell you how to use them easily." Sylvia is feeling excited to contribute.

"Perfect." Rhea replied with an ok hand gesture.

"Then, it's been decided. Feel free to participate in the accuracy practice if you need to take your accuracy to the next level~" Elysia put her hands together with a satisfied smile. Accuracy drills would end their practice session for the day.

'Rhea, the supplements and vitamins you gave Ely just now could increase her strength by one point?' Elena watched Elysia's current status screen closely.

'Um, yes. Those are the physical development pills. It could help someone below the Spirit level increase their physical abilities by twenty times, one a day. However, the effect can only be achieved when the person reaches close to their body limit. Can you see Master Elysia's improvements, Master Elena?' Rhea fully grasped Elena's question, but she answered anyway.

'So, it's going to be twenty days of intense training. A new routine for you for twenty days, Ely. Please do your best~ I will always support you!' Elena cheered for support and encouragement.

'Uhh, I see. Twenty days, is it?' Elysia counted the total days since she last left Earth. She still had two days before that Ruvoid God's grand scheme would be held.

Elysia checked her status screen to see the improvement she had gotten. Despite all the stats, she gained an extra point in STR!

If it was just like Rhea said, she would have 25 points in STR with just these twenty days of physical training. It was a lot of boosts, so valuable for strengthening her frail body. Not to mention the various other exercises.

"Hmm-mm~" Elysia hummed happily. She couldn't wait to have another series of exercises over the next few days. She would overcome her weakness, and she must struggle to the end even though her practice constantly challenged her limits.

'Ely, our business is done. Please ask Elena to make an entrance for us.' Nell suddenly spoke telepathically.

'Okay.' Elysia just needed to make eye contact with Elena. It would be done right away.

Elena approached the nearby realm's portal and made an entrance on her layered barrier. Lifa and Nell entered the humble abode and returned to the Nature Realm.

"Ah, your training is over? We seem to have spent quite a while out there." Lifa greeted with a smile.

"It was just over two hours and a few minutes. What did the three Gods say after you shared our plan with them, mother?" Rhea welcomed her mother and little sister's arrival.

"Hmm, they are pretty stubborn for a peaceful discussion, but I managed to make them understand. They just asked us to make anti-curse mechanisms because they need a lot of it." Lifa put her hand to her cheek.

"Mm, they say that they are enough to eradicate accursed creatures if they have adequate anti-curse mechanisms. We've cleared a lot of sealed areas that have nearly collapsed in recent times. If they need reinforcements in an emergency, they will ask for it, and we will come there to help them." Nell nodded and put her hands on her waist proudly.

"Was it that easy to convince them? I hope no high-tier sealed areas collapse for a month or two." Elysia muttered while looking up at the blue sky.

"Now is lunchtime. Who is hungry and needs nutrition?" Elena clapped her hands for attention. She knew it was what the girls were waiting for.

"I!"

"Have lunch!"

"Mm, shall we cook something?"

"I'll be fine if we have a fruit and veggie lunch."

The girls voiced their enthusiasm.

"Hm? Where did Gio go?" Elysia just realized that Gio was nowhere to be seen.

"He is swimming underground. The soil here is so fertile and rich in pure energy. He is enjoying his time. Would you like to summon him here?" Rhea looked down and pointed to a spot.

"Let him have fun there. He will come here when he has played enough." Elysia shook her head.

After that, a luncheon with some fresh food was served to everyone. Elysia didn't cook anything, so it was a simple lunch with natural food.

"It's just one big peach, but I feel full right away. This is bad. My tongue isn't spoiled with a feast of flavors..." Sylvia patted her tummy. She couldn't eat anything anymore.

"Fufu, I named this Golden Peach. This fruit will not only fill you up but will also supply the nutrients your body needs. Isn't this fruit great if you want to diet without compromising your nutritional needs?" Lifa chuckled and covered her mouth.

"Ugh, we won't gain weight just because of food and drink. My ideal body will always be like this, no matter what I eat. But, this Golden Peach can be an excellent emergency food." Sylvia ate another Golden Peach, and she reached her limit.

The other girls only ate one peach, and they had had enough of it. Their stomachs were filled, and nutrition was met. Thus, they did not need to eat anymore.

"We'll be crafting some anti-curse mechanism vessels for one or two hours. In the meantime, you can rest or do whatever you want. But don't go more than two kilometers from here, understand?" Rhea stood up. Nell and Lifa too.

"All right." Elysia nodded understandingly to represent the girls.

Rhea, Nell, and Lifa flew away towards the Tree of Life.

"Hmm, would you like to play with an ordinary gun or arrow for a test of accuracy?" Sylvia took out an arrow and a gun from her Space Bag. She then found Elysia's master staring at her. "We're just going to play with something normal, not a dangerous cannon."

"Fine, let's do some practice shooting to hone accuracy. Since we'll only be using short-barreled weapons, let's make the target range from 25 meters to 50 meters." Elena welcomed the suggestion of shooting practice with joy. She asked Lynn, Vanessa, and Yuuki to set fire targets according to her instructions.

Moments later, ten wooden targets in the shape of people were set at a certain distance.

"You will try to shoot before this line. You only have ten arrows or bullets and try to hit the targets." Elena drew a line on the ground with her feet. "Who wants to try first? Hmm, let's start with you, Sylvi."

"Me? Mm, of course. I'm good at this. Allow me to show you my shooting skills." Sylvia stepped forward confidently. She took ten arrows and a bow from the table.

*Swish* *Swish* *Swish*

Sylvia fired three arrows in quick succession. She continued to shoot the other seven arrows in just three seconds.

"Yay! All my arrows hit the target. I'm sure you all can do it flawlessly if you practice a few times. Who's next? Ely, want to give it a try?" Sylvia offered the bow to Elysia.

"Okay." Elysia stepped forward and took the bow. Elena provided ten arrows for her, and she was ready to shoot the targets with confidence.
