Yus' PoV

My sword clashed with a fireball incoming, my hand being pushed by it as i was still not used to using this specific arm for wielding my sword

Spooky:"Are you still with energy?" She said with noticeable worry, holding her hand up in a fire aura

Yus:"I can keep going..." I answered with tiredness in my voice, it was hard to counter a single fireball let alone fight an entire battlefront

She let out a sigh with a smile

Spooky:"Maybe it's best if we stop here, Oka or Aoi can help keep training you later but if i do i might hurt you..." Deflecting bullets is one thing, magic is another completely different i guess...

Yus:"Fine...it's for the best, i'll take a small break and go ask Aoi for her help"

Hearing my words, she stood straight and turned around

Spooky:"Then i'll go now, make sure to prepare throughly" With that, she walked away as i sat on the floor

Yus:"*sighs* this is a pain..." I exclaimed outloud as i looked at End, holding it with my uninjured hand

End:"You'll get it soon, did it once, can do it a second time" Tried to cheer me up End, glowing in a blue color

Dusk:"If you need it Yusuru-san, i can help you out with training" Offered Dusk joining in

Yus:"You can? What about the monsters in the Faction of Faith?"

Dusk:"Yoshika told me i could take a break, with all the prayers thanks to corruption being eradicated from there she got a lot of power back" Knowing of Yoshika's power and her boost with faith, maybe she doesn't need a lot of help after all...

Yus:"Then how do you suggest to help?"

Dusk:"That is easy"

Suddenly from the floor, three dark entities showed up holding all a sword as they seemingly stared at me. I got up and on guard, startled by the apparition

Dusk:"I can create clones of darkness with you, that way, you'll have a sparing partner without time limits"

Yus:"You're really something else Dusk, thanks a lot..." I was insecure of what i could still do, might be darkness clones but i still hold no power with my injured arm

Dusk:"Do not fret, i have made them harmless, the best harm they can do is a bonk to your head..."

The entities got in position holding their weapons with both hands, meanwhile i lifted mine with my only available hand

Yus:"Ready End?" I asked to my sword, awaiting his answer

End:"Always ready, one on three, sounds easy enough"

Dusk:"Ah yes, i'll only use one and slowly go up until the three fight you, don't want to harm you more than you seek to be harmed"

I sighed to get myself a bit relaxed, holding End tighter. The next moment, one of the entities ran towards me as the others jumped back, i blocked the impact with End but my hand went back a little with the push of the darker blade

Yus:"Tch..."

End:"Concentration, keep your posture still"

Once i managed to put up my balance i pushed back the figure from the clash and rushed to it, to my surprise it managed to block my attack and made the sword bounce, my weak hold on it wasn't being of that good use
