Heretic Trainer: The Gym Is My Cultivation Method

Seira slowly lowered her hand before turning her gaze toward Valtor with a faint grin. ”Unlike you, I didn’t even need to struggle against him.”

Valtor’s eyebrow twitched, and he immediately fired back, ”Just wait, you frozen woman. I’ll kill more than you once we get inside.”

Seira sighed softly and leaned back against her frozen throne, lazily waving him off. ”Go on then, you brute. Just remember, you’ll never beat me.”

”Tch!” Valtor snorted before rushing deeper into enemy territory, clearly eager to hunt down more Dragon Slayers and reclaim the lead.

Dahlia watched the two of them from the side and laughed in amusement. ”Hehe, not bad, not bad. The rivalry between you two is getting pretty interesting.”

Meanwhile, at the rear of the battlefield, Garion watched everything unfold and nodded with satisfaction.

The first two First-Rank Divine Dragon Slayers had been killed even faster than he expected.

More importantly, the moment those two died, the remaining Dragon Slayers and Celestial Dragon Slayers quickly fell into chaos.

Their formation had already started collapsing, while the God Gym athletes only became more aggressive after seeing their enemies fall.

Seeing this, Garion sighed and stretched his neck and arms. ”Alright, enough wasting time here.”

He inhaled sharply before roaring loudly enough for every one of his disciples to hear, ”God Gym! Let’s go farther inside! The enemies here are too fucking weak! Let’s finish this once and for all!”

The God Gym athletes immediately roared in response.

Rachel flew calmly beside Garion, glancing across the chaotic battlefield. ”Should I bring them inside, then? I know you have another matter to handle.”

Garion grinned and nodded. ”Yeah, thanks for that. Bring them in, break through their defenses, and exterminate them all.”

He rubbed his chin thoughtfully. ”From what I’ve seen, these guys aren’t that strong. It shouldn’t take too long, right?”

Rachel nodded calmly. ”Of course. From what I can tell, they’re exceptionally strong against dragons, but against us... that’s another matter.”

She grinned, resting a hand against her chest. ”Our strength is already greater than most dragons, and we’re not even dragons ourselves. Against these Dragon Slayers, we’re basically their natural nemesis.”

Garion grinned before gesturing toward the deeper area. ”Alright, then. Please bring them in while I go handle my other business.”

Rachel smiled gently. ”Okay. Just make sure you finish quickly. After all...”

Her smile turned teasing as she leaned closer to him. ”You don’t want to get beaten by your own disciples, do you?”

Garion only chuckled before turning his head toward Atlas. ”Atlas, can you sense where he is?”

Atlas turned toward the floating System screen and immediately began operating it.

Numerous symbols and streams of information flashed across the display before he finally turned back toward Garion.

[Yes. I found him. I detected another system owner nearby, and surprisingly, he isn’t even on the planet.]

Garion raised an eyebrow before his grin widened. ”Oh? To think he’s not even here... isn’t that actually perfect?”

He cracked his knuckles, excitement flashing in his eyes. ”I want to finish this as soon as possible and finally get an interesting fight.”

He glanced at the massive war raging behind him before letting out a laugh. ”After all, fighting someone one-on-one is way more fun than dealing with a fucking army.”

Deep inside [Vyrmgrave Planet], the Dragon Slayer base had already fallen into complete chaos.

Inside the massive fortress constructed from black metal and enormous dragon bones, several First-Rank Divine Dragon Slayers had gathered in the main command hall, their expressions extremely ugly.

One of them suddenly slammed his fist onto the stone table and roared, ”Damn it! How the hell did this happen?! How could Kaldros and Orvax both be dead?!”

Another First-Rank Divine Dragon Slayer gritted his teeth. ”I don’t know. The only thing we know for certain is that those bastard dragons actually dared to hire mercenaries to fight against us.”

Another immediately added coldly, ”And not only that. Those mercenaries are ridiculously strong. They’re slaughtering our people with ease. Even the Celestial Dragon Slayers can barely slow them down.”

The atmosphere inside the command hall became even heavier.

In their eyes, dragons were arrogant creatures that relied heavily on their bloodlines, strength, and pride.

Never once had it crossed their minds that those proud Dragon Gods would actually invite outsiders to help deal with them.

Even worse, the outsiders they had hired were far stronger than anyone expected.

Instead of merely supporting the dragons, these so-called mercenaries were practically ripping their entire base apart by themselves.

One of the Divine Dragon Slayers frowned and looked toward the deepest part of the fortress. ”Where is the Leader? This is already an emergency. Why hasn’t he appeared yet?”

Another Dragon Slayer sighed and shook his head. ”He’s still in closed-door cultivation. We tried contacting him, but we couldn’t even determine his exact location.”

The first Dragon Slayer slammed his fist against the stone table again, causing cracks to spread across its surface. ”Damn it! Why now, of all fucking times?!”

The oldest-looking First-Rank Divine Dragon Slayer remained silent for several seconds before finally opening his mouth. ”That’s enough.”

Everyone immediately turned toward him.

He continued calmly, ”For now, we handle this ourselves. Raise the fortress warning to the highest level and activate every defensive formation we still have.”

His eyes slowly grew colder. ”And it’s time for us to properly fight back... by unlocking those.”

The surrounding Dragon Slayers froze the moment they heard his words.

One of them stared at him in disbelief. ”You don’t mean... those, right?”

The elder Dragon Slayer turned toward him and nodded. ”That’s exactly what I mean. I will unlock the forbidden equipment.”

The moment those words fell, several of their expressions changed.

Another First-Rank Divine Dragon Slayer spoke in a low voice, ”There are only three complete sets. Once they’re activated, the cost to the users will be extremely heavy.”

The old Dragon Slayer’s expression did not change. ”Then give them to our three strongest fighters. After all, this is a critical moment.”

Nobody argued this time.

With the decision made, the Divine Dragon Slayers immediately left the command hall and moved toward a heavily restricted section deep beneath the fortress.

After passing through several sealed gates and ancient formations, they finally arrived before a hidden chamber containing three enormous black-and-red boxes.

Each box was covered in countless sealing marks and wrapped tightly in thick chains made from hardened dragon tendons.

Even without opening them, a sinister blood-red aura leaked through the gaps, filling the chamber with an oppressive presence.

The old Dragon Slayer slowly approached the three boxes. ”The dragons think they can destroy us just by hiring a group of monsters...”

His eyes gradually turned red as he grabbed one of the dragon-tendon chains and tore it away.

The seals covering the first box began lighting up one after another. In the next instant, a terrifyingly savage aura erupted from within.

The old Dragon Slayer grinned coldly as he slowly opened the box. ”Then we’ll show them... what real monsters look like.”
