Chapter 1037: The Next Step.

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Haruna and Morgana attacked Victor from both sides, but Victor dodged with minimal effort and countered with his arms, sending the women flying.

Haruna quickly positioned herself in the air and kicked behind her to propel herself toward Victor. Hand and katana met, and the crisp sound of two metallic clashes was heard.

Haruna swiftly moved back and changed her position. Using her feet, she attacked Victor, aiming at his face, but Victor defended again, grabbing her leg, pulling her towards him, and punching her stomach while sending her flying toward Morgana.

He did all this while maintaining his stance, using only his right arm as a means of attack.

"Perfect coordination, but your attacks leave too many openings."

"No, they don't. They leave openings for you, Victor," Haruna said.

"As a stronger opponent in every way, any attack would seem like an opening to you," Morgana grumbled as she returned to her position.

"Maybe..." Victor smiled. "But that doesn't change the fact that you left too many openings. Or will you use that excuse against a stronger enemy in the future?"

Both grunted and took their stances, Haruna holding her katana in front of her and Morgana with her claws.

Although Morgana knew how to use weapons, she always preferred to fight with her claws and fists. She was a close combat specialist for a reason.

"Come at me without holding back," Victor said as he gestured for them to approach.

The two snarled and immediately attacked him again.

Scathach and Rose, who had been watching the two women for a few hours, merely observed them with evaluative looks. Even though they wanted to intervene now to make Victor pay for his annoying words, joining in the fight with Haruna and Morgana would be counterproductive since they would end up hurting the two women accidentally.

Hours passed again, and the women just watched Victor 'teach' Morgana and Haruna. Both clearly improved, becoming stronger in Technique and Power, but as they grew stronger, Victor also did not stand still.

After all, the Master also learned by teaching his Disciples, even if the pace of the Master wasn't as quick as that of the Disciples. The simple fact that he learned something and added to his experience was very significant.

Sounds of thunder occurred as Victor defended with just one hand against Morgana's attacks.

"Very good, you're using your body correctly."

Morgana attacked with her right hand and then with her legs. The attack hit Victor's face but did no damage.

Victor looked in a specific direction and saw that her lower half was wet, then he smiled and said, "Heh~, what a perverted Demon."

Morgana just displayed a predatory smile and attacked him, trying to choke him with her two thick thighs.

"I won't lie. Normally, this would have worked on me; after all, it's the scent of my Wife, but..." Victor said as Morgana writhed and moaned.

"Haah~."

"Now is not the time to get excited. Go rest a bit," Victor placed his palm on Morgana's stomach and attacked, pushing her back. It was a non-lethal attack but very dangerous because it targeted the internal organs of the enemy, causing destabilization.

For a moment, Morgana was utterly out of breath and even fainted for a few seconds, but soon, her body reacted to the damage caused and regenerated. When she woke up moments later, she quickly adjusted her center of gravity and sat on the ground, pouting.

'Fighting so long while my Husband showed his dominance to me is affecting me... I'm getting more and more excited as time goes by.' Morgana took a deep breath and then exhaled the hot air from her mouth, which melted the ground upon contact.

Haruna was next, as she appeared in front of Victor in an Iaijutsu stance.

To the untrained eye, Victor appeared to have been hit numerous times, but everyone here knew that was not what happened. The moment Haruna attacked, Victor dodged each of her slashes.

When the marks from the cuts in Reality disappeared, Victor was shown entirely unharmed.

Victor raised an eyebrow. "I see that you have perfectly incorporated my style into your 'dance'."

"And I thank you for that." She drew her katana from the sheath at ridiculous speed and made an attack.

Victor displayed a small smile. "...Has no one ever told you not to use your Master's Techniques against them?"

Haruna furrowed her brow as she sheathed her katana... Two seconds later, Reality seemed to catch up with what had just happened, and the next moment, cuts began to appear around Victor.

To the untrained eye, Victor appeared to have been hit numerous times, but everyone here knew that was not what happened. The moment Haruna attacked, Victor dodged each of her slashes.

When the marks from the cuts in Reality disappeared, Victor was shown entirely unharmed.

"... You're a damn monster." Haruna couldn't help but say with a broad smile on her face.

"Tsk, Tsk." Victor wagged his finger while clicking his tongue. "You are mistaken, my Wife. I am not a monster... I am the fastest man alive."

"This is not the time for references-..." Haruna's eyes widened as she suddenly felt several parts of her body ache, and the next moment, a boom was heard, and she flew completely dazed.

"It's not a reference if it's true." Victor laughed as he blew on his fist that was a bit warm.

Haruna recovered from her stupor as she readjusted her center of gravity and stood up. She looked at her body and saw three punch marks that she hadn't sensed at all.

Even with her Draconic senses, she saw or felt nothing. Haruna didn't retaliate and began to think about the fight she had so far. By reviewing what she saw, she could learn even more.

Victor nodded in satisfaction when he saw Haruna's state. During these hours that had passed, she had improved quite a bit, but it still wasn't enough for his standards, which had become insanely high. He wouldn't be satisfied if all of them were not like Rose and Scathach.

Speaking of the two Grandmasters…

Victor felt a chill down his spine, and suddenly, he found himself covered by the pressure of two Grandmasters. Looking in the direction of the two women, he saw that both were wielding their personal weapons. Scathach was using her Spear, and Rose was using her Western sword.

Okay, maybe Victor shouldn't have provoked two Grandmasters like that, but God, did he not regret it at all.

Victor assumed a Martial Arts stance, lowering his center of gravity, placing his left hand behind his back, and pointing his right arm at the two women.

"Come."

Scathach and Rose's looks sharpened.

In the blink of an eye, the two disappeared and attacked Victor, who made no effort to dodge the attacks. Using his own Martial Arts, Victor deflected both attacks as he defended Rose's attack with his right hand and Scathach's attack with his legs. A crisp sound, as if two metallic objects were colliding, echoed across the land, and in the next moment, Scathach and Rose stepped back from Victor with shocked looks on their faces.

The reason for their shock was that they were both using their Grandmaster Martial Arts, but still, no noticeable damage was caused to Victor. Even though they weren't using their abilities, which had greater destructive power, Victor suffered no damage while using only Martial Arts, which left the two incredulous.

"Heh..." Victor looked at his arm and saw minor damage as if a mosquito had bitten his skin.

'Maybe I really have underestimated my own resilience.'

[Please, Darling, even though Grandmaster Arts are capable of even cutting Gods and cutting Concepts if practiced enough, you are above all that. Not to mention that all Martial Arts, no matter how strong they are, depend a lot on their hosts. Although Rose and Scathach are insanely strong by the standards of other Gods, you are a greater anomaly than them.] Roxanne explained with disdain on her face.

[The simple fact that they can inflict a small injury equivalent to a mosquito bite on your body greatly proves their strength. Kali, Scathach, and Rose are definitely strong women, as expected of my Sisters.] Roxanne nodded in satisfaction.

Victor laughed. He was sure that if the aforementioned women heard what Roxanne said, they would pierce Roxanne with a skewer.

Even though this whole situation was fun, Victor couldn't help but look solemn as he looked at the mosquito bite on his body that had already healed: "I've become this strong, huh..."

Even though they both weren't using the Grandmaster Techniques they both developed, the mere fact that he could withstand an attack that would make even God Kings break out in a cold sweat, proved how far he'd come.

Rose and Scathach didn't stop. The two immediately started attacking. First, Scathach used her Spear to try to pierce several areas on Victor's body, using thrusting Techniques.

Victor simply dodged each one of them. Even if his body could withstand the attack, he shouldn't get into the habit of receiving the blow. If he could dodge, he should dodge. If you couldn't dodge, then block. That was the lesson Scathach herself taught him.

Every piercing attack that Scathach missed caused small holes in the Space behind Victor, visibly proving how strong her pure Martial Art were.

Victor, Rose, and Scathach weren't using their Powers, as all they were using were their powerful bodies and Martial Arts.

"Tsk." Scathach moved away from Victor. As she took her Spear and performed a throwing Technique, her arm visibly became more defined. The next moment, she threw the Spear towards Victor.

Victor dodged the attack, and the next moment, Scathach appeared where the Spear was thrown, picked up the Spear again, and threw it towards Victor.

This action was repeated several times, creating subsequent images that appeared as if Scathach was creating clones of herself.

"...You know you won't land a hit, right?"

"And who decided that?" Several voices that sounded like Scathach were heard.
