Vergil's personal training area was located in an isolated wing of the Palace of Sparda, far from the common courtyards, far from the soldiers, far from the maids, and far enough from the main rooms that no one would be struck by accident if he decided to test something beyond reason. The floor was made of black stone reinforced by layers of ancient runes. The walls bore marks of cuts, impacts, flames, ice, and demonic energy, though all of them were quickly regenerated by restoration spells. There, Vergil could train without needing to worry about etiquette, an audience, or structural destruction.
That day, however, he was not holding Yamato.
He was holding a spear.
