Everyday seemed to be the same thing over and over. The only time Thalion even remotely looked forward to was the evening hours. Seeings as they weren't out in the open he didn't have to go about any rounds taking up most of the night. Probably a good thing as the words of that beast still weighted heavily on his mind.

During the day Mizuki seemed to be off in his own world. Some times it was even a struggle to get him to break for lunch. Though Neimi normally got Luna to fetch him when that happened. But he was certainly working on the spells, maybe even over focusing on them. Hardly saying anything to anyone during the day till he was exhausted.

Neimi was keeping tabs on Felix and Thalion seeing as a few times one or the other of them would get tired of the foolishness that the other was doing. Though it was easy to say who got annoyed quicker. None the less this training never did help either of them figure out what the blade could do. No matter what it seemed to remain the same.

There was the idea it had limited uses or only would react in times of need but after a few close calls in training and scoldings after from Neimi, that seemed to be false as well. One of the days he did manage a barrier to form that seemed to be stronger then the magic cast ones but he had no idea what caused it or how to summon it again.

Though the days dragged on and sooner or later they would have to go face the boss. Each time they went into town for supplies it seems like they heard a new death toll from the creature slaying another group. Let alone larger groups. There was a hint of doubt about their foolish plan to go in there with five but they had proven against all other odds so it was a bit late to back down or rethink things now.

Panting as both himself and Felix had winded each other for the time being he was trying to figure out what the damn big deal was with this weapon. So far it could do that glow effect, though that seemed random when it happened or maybe that was feeding off his magic and he never noticed it. The only other thing besides the barrier was that when ever they tested someone else with he blade they could swing it but no matter what the blade refused to cut. Like the sharp edges were dulled over years of use or something.

The other real good thing that came out about this time for training was Luna finally gave in after a while and started working more as a group member. That would give them a better edge in the fight as well. Neimi had been working on protection and quick healing spells. Also trying to build her energy. Most fights they got by without her casting much. This time though she doubted it would be that easy.
