In turn, for Hela to teach me how to fight close combat, I was helping her with her casting abilities. In truth, her abilities as a magician were messed up. She cast spells only by using brute force, which used too much energy for her.
For example, an ordinary spell as Fireball for someone like her should be around 0,001 Units of Magical Power. But alas, for Hela, who used brute force to force spells into existence, she wasted too much of her magical energy, and thus even a simple spell like that would cost her 1 Unit. It may not seem like a lot but in another example.
For example, if I want to cast Strategic-Tier Spell, which was spells most commonly used by Satan-Class individuals, it would cost me around 10 Units, maybe 15 Units depending on the spell. That was due to my mastery of magic. According to Architect’s calculations, if Hela cast the Strategic-Tier spell, it would cost her around 50 Units.
She would use nearly half of her reserves for single spells regarding Ultra-Order Tier Spells. I never understood why her magical knowledge was so poor, despite being half-Vanir and her mother being Frigga, one of the best witches of Asgard currently.
And the answer I got was simple… she instead went to swing a sword and beat boys in spars when she was young, as reading magical tomes and studying runes was too boring for her.
So now, we were correcting that mistake, as I was teaching her Asgardian Magic System, Human Calculation Magic System, and the basics of my Tier Magic System. Fortunately, she had a good aptitude for learning magic and handling magical power, despite her crude way of doing so right now.
As I was thinking about something, another kick from Hela sent me flying backward as I coughed blood.
“You really know how to hold back during spars…”
I said sarcastically, as I was barely able to stand up, and Hela walked in front of me with a satisfied smile.
The moment she was close enough and not giving me enough attention, I threw some dust into her eyes and used the blunt edge of my scythe to strike her stomach, while several seconds later, I kicked her once again, sending her away.
“While you Asgardians are outstanding warriors, we devils are despicable in the way we fight… this is why you lose, my dear.”
I said as I held my scythe at her neck and my right foot on her stomach, not allowing her to turn around as she coughed blood.
Asgardians were honorable warriors, and while Hela was a warmonger and slaughterer, she still had something in her that would not allow her to use similar methods as I used to defeat her.
Deception and tricks were something devils had in their blood.
I then cast several simple healing spells on Hela to stop the internal bleeding I caused her as I helped her to stand up.
“Sometimes, your honor could become your grave.”
I said to her seriously.
“I will try to keep that in mind.”
Answered Hela with an angered expression; she lost to a simple trick like that.
“How is army training going?”
I asked as we sat down.
“Pretty well, thank the increased budget you gave me; I have enough resources to increase the strength of all soldiers to Middle-Class within next year. Also, orders from Alchemist Guilds across the Draconic Deus and Sects from Three Realms have been made and will arrive soon. With current resources available, I could probably create a standing army of 75 million with ease with a standard Middle-Class.”
Stated Hela, while I was deeply surprised.
Her effectiveness as a military commander was really something.
“When I return from the Takagahamara, I would go to the Yestera Plane to hunt for Monarch Level Monsters and Magical Beasts there as they are obstructing our way to the bottom of the ocean and mining the entire plane. Will you join?”
I asked.
I planned to take with me Crom Cruach, and also Zekram promised his help in this matter. I needed to clean Yestera Plane out of them as soon as possible to start mining on the bottom of the ocean.
“Of course… it will be a good opportunity to spill some blood.”
Said Hela with a bloodthirsty grin on her face.
“Splendid.”
There should be no more than twenty Monarch Level monsters in the Yestera so that we could clear all of them within several weeks with four of us.
“Also, take all available Generals; they would take care of General Level monsters; I will also take Vena and Grayfia.”
I also wanted my subordinates to participate as they could deal with weaker monsters.
