Chapter 79 Weaknesses

The days passed by in the blink of an eye. Outside the Desert, Fein and his friends were still observing. As the days passed, the more Fein understand the danger of the desert. He saw a lot of brutal and intense battles that the forest didn't have. In Monster World Secret Realm, the forest area is akin to a villagers' town, where players were given a chance to get information and prepare. While the desert represents the danger and the grinding area for players to level up. Dangers and opportunities coexist. Daily battles are so common that there's not a day where the sound of fighting stopped.

After days of observation, he was finally ready to enter the desert. No matter what, only by trying can you experience it yourself.

A gust of wind suddenly blew his hair. As Aoi landed on the ground while Sofia was on top of her. Her lips were curled upwards, as she jumped to the ground. Fein saw her holding a basket of fruits and vegetables.

"I got all the ingredients on the list" Sofia smiled at Fein and patted Aoi at its head. "And it was thanks to Aoi, if not for her it was a question if we can get those."

Fein's eyebrows curled up at the word "her".

'So this big blue eagle is a female?'

He thought that it was male at first. Because of how it behaves. It has an air of masculinity when he first saw it. It seems that he was a bit biased.

"Good job, you work hard" Fein knew that sometimes, praise is enough to make a person feel appreciated.

Hearing Fein praised her, Sofia became happy. Her ear twitched slightly, and she unconsciously fixed her hair strands on top of her ears.

As an observant person, Fein noticed this, he was a person who lived two lifetimes. Reading people became easy for him. He knew that his praise was effective. When rewarding someone you don't need to give them material things.

Showing your appreciation towards the said person is the way to let them know that their activities aren't unnoticed. Fein isn't a master in psychology but experience has taught him. After all, experience is the best teacher. That's true but learning from the experience is even more important, it's the essence. What is the sense of experience if you won't learn from it?

Fein saw a lot of people in his past life that brag about their experiences but they don't apply them to their life. Teaching people what and how to do, always looking at others' mistakes but aren't willing to look at themselves.

After Fein finished ranting on his head. He retrieved the personalized training equipment Lucius provided them. Although his swordsmanship cannot break realm any longer. It has still a lot of room for improvement. He was talented, but he always believe that hard work is what really makes a genius rise. So, he plans to do his best, train hard, and improve what he can. He plans to polish his swordsmanship.

During the past battles, he listed all his shortcomings and weaknesses on a note. It was his way to monitor his progress. Details are important, one variable is enough to mess up a whole equation.

The weaknesses he currently had are as follows. First, he has a few AOE means of attack. This is important as AOE provides great help when facing multiple opponents. Although he can literally make a sword slash that was as big as a mountain. What he wants is an ability that could cover miles like Domain. At Fein's current strength, he doesn't need to worry about hundreds of opponents with a similar realm as him. What he needs to worry about is an army that is composed of thousands or even a hundred thousand. He is confident to escape when he wants, after all, he has Ghecko Substitution as a lifesaving technique. But he doesn't forget there are strange abilities there that are bound to counter him. Secondly, he is still lacking when it comes to magic resistance. Yeah, Ryujin had given him a strong defense, but that was physical defense. Demons who have strong magic can still defeat him. The demon who played him like a fool and chop Kidd's arm was still fresh in his mind. He knew that someday he would have to face that fucker.

In addition, he was lacking the ability that could fight strange abilities that targeted other aspects such as fate or time. But when it comes to the soul he already got that covered.

Lastly, he lacks regeneration ability that would compliment his armor. If he has a super generation like vampires, then his armor of pride would be on whole different level. He would become unkillable biologically. As long as space storms or nuclear bomb doesn't directly hit him that is.

"I would train for a while, " Fein said.

Sofia looked at the training equipment on the ground that appeared out of thin air.

She was amazed at Fein's diligence. Although he was already stronger, he still works really hard.

"Okay, Well I also plan to venture to the desert," Sofia told her plans to Fein.

She wants to be useful and help Fein with something she can do. With Aoi, the risk of gathering information was lower because the monster in the desert is a beast that can't fly.

Seeing Sofia's intention, Fein would be lying if he said that he wasn't touched. He knew that although the sky in the desert isn't more dangerous than in the ground, nonetheless, the thoughts are what count.

"You have to be careful," Fein's eyes turned serious as he warned her.

p "Don't worry if it is only a measly A rank, I can escape anytime" Sofia bragged, she was confident of her strength after successfully using Aiki.

Fein nodded, he knew Sofia's strength is already considered a powerhouse in kingdoms. And he was confident in Sofia's safety because The Blue Eagle of Sofia isn't as simple as it is on the surface.

"Then, I'm off" Sofia climbed on the back of Aoi as they flew in the air.
