There was also a notification system that Percy had asked for. This way whenever he had a random idea he wanted to try out, or something brilliant came to him while in the shower or anything he could record it instantly.
Right now the watch had just alerted him about his hourly dumping of mana into his Marble Skin skill.
This was something he just recently figured out during one of his showers. It was the fact that his Marble Skin defence had no time limit. It also didn't have any limit to said mana dumping. This allowed for a HUGE loophole for Percy to exploit.
So what he did for every hour on the dot, as long he was awake, Percy dumped all of his mana into this skill increasing his defences constantly. It had been around 12 days since he started this.
Percy quickly walked into the sea nearby activating the domain boost;
You have entered a water body! Due to your parentage you have gained a boost!
+1000 HP
+1000 MP
All wounds are healed
All ailments cured
Water Breathing ability active
+1000 HP(+1000 HP due to necklace of Poseidon) = +2000 HP
+1000 MP (+1000 MP due to necklace of Poseidon) = +2000 MP
Every Time he was about to boost his marble skin powers he entered into a body of water. Whether that meant going into the sea, a river or even just pouring water on himself to activate the domain boost depended on where Percy was.
Percy now had;
Mana-5,750/5,750 (+1000) = 6,750 (+20% more mana, +1350) = 8,100 (+2000 MP)= 10,100 MP
And he put all of his mana into the skill.
Defence- 10,100 x 115 Vit = 1,161,500 Defence
Percy had done this for around an average of 21 hours a day, since he rarely slept at all these days. This meant that including this recent boost to his powers Percy's total defence came up to;
252 hours X 1,161,500 = 292,698,000 Defence
Yup, that was a lot. But considering that Percy has to now fight Titans, who could give the Gods a run for their money Percy still felt like he was unprepared. Sometimes when Percy was free for an hour for so, he would just enter and exit the sea causing himself to respawn the water domain boost adding on to his total defence. But these days he rarely had the time.
Percy eventually returned to his group of trainees and soon they were done with their practise.
"Alright everyone line up! It's time for my training!" Percy yelled out as he took out Riptide readying himself for a fight.
Most of the demigods groaned while a few, like Thalia and John, became serious and ready for a fight. This was the reason most hated weapons training, at the end of it Percy took on all of them at once.
Percy spun his blade around a couple of times, "ready?" The demigods who complained before got into position next to the others. "Okay then, fight!"
Percy charged forward and attacked a group spear wielding demigods. They had lowered their weapons to pierce him with but Percy was faster as he jumped up and landed behind them hitting them all with the flat of his blade.
"Out," Percy said. The demigods all groaned and quickly all left before Percy moved towards the next group of demigods.
Percy quickly dispatched of all the swordsmen with a flick of the wrist mostly just disarming them or knocking them off balance.
"YAAAA!" Nico yelled out as the boy charged Percy only for the demigod to trip Nico at the last second.
"Sorry Nico, better luck next time," Percy then turned and blocked a swing for John. Percy blocked and pushed the weapon back as the two brothers attacked one another.
John had been trained in hand to hand combat by the army and had a bases for attacks. Hence he was one of the best swordsmen they had, but he was still no match for Percy.
Percy knocked him to the side, the demigod was starting to sweat now, he wasn't tired, not in the least, but he felt the training work. Percy then quickly took care of the rest of the demigods leaving Thalia for last.
"Ready sea brain?" Thalia asked as she spun her spear around.
"Think you can actually hit me this time sparky?" Percy teased as Thalia growled at him.
The two cousins narrowed their eyes as they slowly circled around the other. This was one of the reason Thalia agreed to help train the others. She wanted to fight Percy. Maybe it was the Zeus in her, but Thalia didn't like Percy being in charge, she usually kept her distance from him whenever he was training or even talking to other demigods. So far the only interactions the two have shared was the occasional chit chat along with these daily fights.
Taliha made the first move, like always. Percy counted on her impatience as he quickly went on the defence blocking everyone one of the girl's attacks. He spun away from spear thrusts and deflected all those he couldn't dodge. He waited for his moment before he sprung into action.
Percy blocked and then deflected Thalia's spear so hard it flew out of her hand. He then charged forward and swung the flat of his blade at Thalia. The daughter of Zeus however didn't back down as she collapsed her knees and fell back on the ground forcing Percy to change the direction of his attack in the last moment.
Thalia then gabed the bracelet on her left hand and shouted, "Aegis!" This caused a shield to form out out it blocking Percy's blade at the last second. Percy was stunned looking at the shield and Thalia took this opportunity and pushed Percy to the ground and got on top him pushing the shield down on him.
"Still scared of this thing Jackson?" Thalia asked with a smirk.
"No Grace, I just got to close to you and the smell just hit me really hard," Percy shot back. The way Thalia sat on top of him was really making him hot under the collar. Her hips were rested right on his own, the part that disturbed him the most were her long muscular things. They gripped his hips tightly to make sure he couldn't move to the side as she pressed up against him.
'I need to get her off me before things get weird!' Percy told himself as he finally managed to push Thalia off of him and he jumped back. Thalia quickly grabbed her spear and the two began circling each other.
Percy really hated that shield, it wasn't his first time seeing it, Thalia had used it before on him. The shield was special, it was a replica of Aegis, the shield that was imprinted with the face of Medusa onto. The face of medusa was scary to say the least, Percy didn't mind it though, after the first time he kind of got used to looking at the shield. But there was still some sort of charm around it that made him want to back away every time he got close to it.
Thalia charged again as she swung at Percy. The demigod ducked under the attack and kicked Thalia in the gut sending her backwards. Percy then began attacking the demigoddess relentlessly as he kept hitting Aegis with Riptide. He then swung his blade widely knocking the protection of the shield to the side before swinging at Thalia's neck.
At the last moment Thalia twisted her spear bringing the bottom end up to block Percy's blade and then brought her shield up hitting Percy in the nose with the sharp side.
292,697,900 Defence
Percy didn't even feel the strike and instead used his free hand to grab Thalia's spear and pulled it out of her weak grip before twisting her legs and throwing her off balance and onto the ground. Percy then leveled both the spear and his blade at Thalia, "I win, again."
