Chapter 168: Special body training (3)
After Isla was able to drink Matt's blood, her body returned to its full glory.
That made it possible for her to break free from the chains easily in a few attempts, and she finally sighed wh she managed to break both chains.
But that had only be the first test.
The main test was still to come, which consisted of fighting many extremely heavy and robust puppets arranged in the cter of the room.
Matt looked at those puppets arranged in the cter of the room and frowned as Isla approached him.
"I guess it won't be as simple as just fighting, so be prepared. Ev though those puppets are made of blood, I don't think all the blood was used to activate them."
Isla nodded.
Based on the theme of the room and the gunshots she had se, more so considering that this place is supposed to give you a 'bloody bath' to make you reborn, the pain might have be just beginning for both of them.
Still, this time, Isla was more determined to complete it.
The problem with the room was that they had to dure all of this without using that vampiric power that immsely helped vampires. But completing it was naturally more difficult for a woman like Isla, as her body is getically weaker by nature.
Soon, the two stood in line and tered.
"ROOOOR!" A robotic roar escaped from the mouths of the puppets th, as they launched themselves forcefully towards where the two of them were in a momt.
That st Matt running into their counters and slamming into them in a momt.
Isla did, too.
Th, various walls of magical inscriptions rose a where they stood, across the lines laid out on the floor, and a voice sounded above them, explaining what they were to do in this room.
"Welcome. The Physical Training room has two phases. The first requires you to work with your mind to understand it; if you are already here, it means you have passed the mtal test. It is now that the real physical test begins. You must fight the puppets for at least three hours straight before you can leave.
If you can't hold on, shout the word 'stop' to make the mechanism stop, although it will take a few seconds to stop. If you stop before hours and 30 minutes have passed, you will lose a tth of your training time."
Matt and Isla frowned wh they heard this because the puppets were really tough and robust. Fighting for three hours against these things would be tricky.
These puppets were differt from the ones in that room in the courtyard of the mansion where they lived.
These puppets could fight and were so tough that their blows hurt to death. A bad blow could break bones, so it was a difficult test.
And just at those momts wh they were struggling, five spurts of blood shot at an incredible speed shot out from five differt places.
These hit with thunderous force in all directions of Matt and Isla, and not ev a drop touched the puppets.
Both screamed in shock after feeling the pain of being hit in such a way.
They gritted their teeth hard and punched the puppet in front, but just th, another one of those puppets knocked them both backward.
"Agh..."
These puppets were trained to keep hitting, regardless of the condition of the person in front. So ev though Isla and Matt had be hit from all sides, these continued to attack with force.
'I see, that's why they're called bloody baths...' Matt thought, after feeling the blood that had be shot at him covering his tire body.
Furthermore, this blood had be shot at with great force by a mechanism that could shoot it at high speeds to petrate the body's defses, so it was incredibly painful but extremely effective.
Both knew this, so they got up and continued training.
And so, the hours passed.
Betwe breaks every 3 hours, intse fights against puppets, and bloody baths, both had spt a whole day there.
They were mortally exhausted, as these trainings stretched them to the limit of what was academically allowed, bordering on the forbidd.
They were 3-hour workouts (minimum), with breaks of 0 minutes maximum, which put a tremdous strain on their bodies.
Ev so, both were able to dure throughout the day and did not stop to rest for more than 0 minutes. During this time, they realized that the room could learn from them.
It got to the point of making things more difficult for Matt after it realized that he could hold on much longer than Isla.
'It's probably artificial intelligce from this world... They've advanced a lot in numerous important subjects, leaving aside what doesn't serve much purpose. If they hav't advanced in devices like cell phones, it must be because mana intercepts those kinds of signals... How interesting.' Matt thought at the time.
Thus, the training came to an d as a final spurt of blood hit their bodies and drched them in blood once again.
That was the last part of the training, so the force of the attack was ough to make them hit the room's walls, totally exhausted.
This training day brought a rebirth to their bodies, which were glowing slightly with a red hue. The muscles of both became firmer, albeit in differt ways.
Matt became slightly muscular, more so than before. These muscles grew in the usual way, making him look like a muscular, well-toned man. In addition, you could see that the muscles gave off a strong power.
Instead, Isla did not have the same effect of increasing muscle mass. Her arms, legs, and, in geral, her whole body had toned firm and delicate, more perfect than they already were.
It was as if the training had spldidly increased her beauty.
After the first 4 hours of training, they left for a long rest.
It was not the only time they would train there. That training was still very effective on them and you could tell by the fact that they had barely completed it this time.
So, after a rest of several hours, they wt back into that physical training room...
