With Kaelen's initial training well underway and his parents having ascended to the ranks of SSS-Awakeners, the Navaro estate hummed with an unprecedented level of power. The training sessions often became collaborative affairs, a symphony of devastating abilities orchestrated by three of the world's most formidable individuals under the watchful eye of the legendary patriarch.
Victor and Anya, now wielding the full might of their SSS-rank abilities, brought unique perspectives to Kaelen's development. Victor, with his mastery of the Crimson Judgment, focused on offensive strategies, teaching Kaelen to combine the raw power of the Scarlet Storm with the physical might of the Titan Body. He emphasized the importance of relentless aggression, of overwhelming opponents with a barrage of both physical and energy-based attacks.
"Never give your enemy a chance to breathe, Kaelen," Victor would roar during their sparring sessions, unleashing crackling arcs of crimson lightning that Kaelen had to either deflect with his hardening skin or evade with his rapidly improving speed. "Hesitation is death in this world. Strike first, strike hard, and leave no room for recovery."
Anya, with her intricate control over space, brought a different, more strategic element to Kaelen's training. She taught him to utilize his Space-Time Mirror not just as a training ground, but as a tactical asset in combat. She guided him in creating spatial distortions to disorient opponents, in setting up instantaneous teleportation points for swift attacks and evasive maneuvers, and in manipulating the very dimensions of their training arena to create unpredictable and challenging environments.
"Power is not just about destruction, Kaelen," Anya would explain calmly as she conjured shifting walls of warped space that Kaelen had to navigate. "It is about control, about manipulating the battlefield to your advantage. Understand the space around you, and you control the flow of the fight."
Chaos Navaro, while still overseeing Kaelen's fundamental training in the Heaven-Crushing Titan Body, now focused on the higher-level applications of his abilities and the wisdom gleaned from centuries of survival. He taught Kaelen the subtle art of reading an opponent's intent, of anticipating their moves before they even began, a skill honed through countless life-or-death encounters.
"Feel the subtle shifts in their energy, Kaelen," Chaos would instruct during their sparring matches, his movements deceptively slow yet impossibly precise. "Their breath, their stance, even the flicker in their eyes can betray their next move. Learn to listen to the whispers of their intent."
He also emphasized the importance of combining his two SSS-rank abilities seamlessly. He demonstrated techniques where the raw physical power of the Vajra Dominion was amplified by focused bursts of Crimson Judgment, creating devastatingly powerful strikes that could shatter even the most resilient defenses. He encouraged Kaelen to explore similar synergies between his own inherited abilities and the unique potential of the Space-Time Mirror.
Beyond the individual training, the Navaro estate often hosted elaborate three-on-one sparring sessions within the expanded confines of the Space-Time Mirror. These chaotic yet controlled environments forced Kaelen to adapt to multiple high-level threats simultaneously, to coordinate his defenses and offenses, and to learn to fight in perfect synergy with his parents. The clashes of crimson lightning, the warping of space, and the earth-shattering impacts of the Titan Body created a spectacle of raw power, a testament to the extraordinary family that resided within Veridia's walls.
These collaborative sessions were more than just training; they were a forging of bonds, a silent understanding that transcended words. Kaelen learned to trust his parents' instincts, to anticipate their movements, and to rely on their unwavering support. He witnessed their individual strengths and their combined might, solidifying his understanding of the power he had inherited and the responsibility that came with it. The family of titans was not just a collection of powerful individuals; they were a unified force, a dynasty in the making, bound by blood and a shared determination to protect their world and shape its future.
