Recently, the heavy rain on the island has been increasing in intensity, quickly exceeding the capacity of the rivers. The excess water overflowed, turning Hero Harbor almost into a swamp.
The citizens and pirates had no choice but to gradually head towards Moniz Volcano, under the escort of the Naga, to avoid the flood.
A week later, withstanding the continuous onslaught of the flood, many buildings in Hero Harbor began to collapse, their debris swept by the currents towards the sea entrance.
Watching this scene, Aske seemed to understand why, in the original game world, the instance tasks did not feature Hero Harbor on the island anymore.
According to the original game world's timeline, players should be locked in fierce battle with the large forces of the Banshee Queen right now!
Once Hero Harbor withstands the onslaught of the storm and the Leviathan group, the array will transport the endless beast of the giant stomach from this time point to a future time node, and Hero Harbor will be teleported away with it.
As for the traces left by this city around the island, naturally, they'll be washed away clean by the flood brought by the storm.
To get back to the point, after a week of training, the girls' abilities to adapt to aerial combat have rapidly improved.
Of course, this is due to their solid foundation, as many of the knowledge in the professional circle is already part of a structured complete plan. From early stage positioning, offense and defense, and rhythm control, to mid-stage battle route differentiation, and finally adaptability training in various environments, as long as they follow the plan step by step, most can become qualified professional players.
Whether they can reach the top level depends on their individual talent.
Among the eight girls, the most talented is probably Eleanor. On one hand, she has a hang-like super adaptation to the Unyielding Holy Sword, and on the other hand, her overall foundation is very solid, with almost no weak points.
However, purely in terms of combat power, she is still slightly inferior to Peggy. Because Peggy doesn't seem like she's hanging on, instead she's more like a GM, with Death Law + Undead Illusion Sword + Demigod Rank, even Aske doesn't dare to claim a sure win against her.
However, perhaps because everything has been going too smoothly for her, Peggy's tactical awareness level is worse compared to Eleanor. For example, to this day she has not succeeded in combining Undead Illusion Sword with law skills to form her own mature playstyle.
In this respect, Aske couldn't help her either, because he knows neither Death Law nor Undead Illusion Sword, he can only occasionally offer some small suggestions.
If these two are considered the first tier, then Miel is the 1.5 tier. Speaking of which, Aske originally recruited her with the intention of adding a remote sniper to the team.
The result is this sniper underwent evolutionary mutation, and became a summoner class specializing in "summon," which was unexpected for Aske... Given that the Fate Law is indeed a rare powerful law, Miel's transition is not considered weak, all in all, it was unexpected.
The second tier includes Sigrdrifa and Mia. After mastering the Ripple Sword, Mia's mobility already tops the team, even Aske can't keep up with her speed and reaction.
Now what Mia needs to train is her "Evasion Control" ability, because as she frequently flashes on the battlefield, enemies will certainly try to predict her landing spot and use control skills to attempt to interrupt her Ripple Sword.
Therefore, how to quickly flash and evade after enemies cast skills is Mia's last piece of shortcoming.
As for Sigrdrifa... Aske feels she is sprinting full force toward a turret-type offensive role, using Slaughter to create shockwaves from afar, inflicting real damage that ignores armor through Silent Annihilation after hitting the enemy, and Malicious Locking can limit the enemy's mobility—basically making the enemies into targets for her to shoot at.
Additionally, in terms of equipment, she is the most luxurious within the team. The North Wind Axe can freeze enemies with long-range throws, and the Navian Bone Tooth summons extraordinary creatures for skirmishes, akin to carrying a weakened version of Arcane Frost Mage and Summoner on her person.
Next, she needs to combine these abilities to create the most aggressive frenzy combat style, thereby maximizing the power of Extinction Law.
In the combat sequence, the little Empress Theodora is unfortunately currently at the bottom. The reason is simple, her playstyle is largely skewed towards large-scale AOEs, most suitable for battlefields with a large number of opponents, and so far, The Azure Longsword has rarely engaged in direct frontal collision with large-scale corps, resulting in her having few opportunities to truly practice and optimize her skills.
This battle against the Leviathan group provides her with a valuable training opportunity.
As for Nora and Medea, one focuses on buffs and the other debuffs, belonging to the supportive sequence focused on healing and control, so they can't really be measured against the other girls.
Ultimately, before I return to Earth, Aske is confident that he can train all of them to first-class professional levels, while also drawing a satisfactory conclusion to these years of living together day and night.
I believe that after I leave, you will all have a bright future.
Thinking this, Aske couldn't help but feel a bit moved.
Of course, because Thira is currently the weakest in the team, and coupled with the suitable storm environment for the Catastrophe Law, Aske, besides the usual training plan, will also take extra time to provide the little princess with individual lessons and guidance.
High above the sea several kilometers away from Hero Harbor, Aske was still pondering the final development plan for the team, taking a moment to also move himself. Thira, meanwhile, slowly gathered Spirituality, with the Secret Silver Circuits on her body starting to glow, making her look ethereally beautiful and divine.
All skills of the Catastrophe Law are AOE, hence the Spirituality consumption is higher than skills from other laws. She must achieve more precise control to extend her own combat endurance as much as possible.
First, [Tornado]!
As her Spirituality unfolded, five or six cyclones quickly formed over the sea, growing larger and enveloping the seawater below.
After these tornadoes swept across the surrounding waters, they had caught a large number of fish and shrimp in the water, and then Thira guided them to converge at a central point ahead, forming a massive bloated cyclone.
Next, [Star Fall]!
A meteor suddenly pierced through the thick layer of clouds, crashing into the depths of the tornado at lightning speed, destroying the massive cyclone while pulverizing the fish and shrimp swirling within.
The third skill, [Earthquake], was inconvenient to use on the sea since the water would dissipate most of the kinetic energy. So Thira used a new skill she recently grasped: [Heavy Rain]!
Under the influence of the Catastrophe Law, the clouds that were already gathered were compressed even further, and the rain falling intensified several times over, pounding the sea below as if to boil it.
Meanwhile, the heavy rain over Hero Harbor noticeably weakened. Because most of the rain clouds were blown away by Thira's skills before reaching Hero Harbor, by the time they reached the island, there was almost no rain left.
Aske: ???
Alright, I originally planned to let her practice [Heavy Rain] in a stormy environment, but inadvertently, it helped alleviate the flood disaster in Hero Harbor.
However, his expression soon turned serious because, despite the increased rain volume nearby obscuring visibility on the sea's surface, his intuition sharply sensed a great danger approaching from beneath the sea.
