Only Human Race experts skilled in Divine Abilities and spells.
Could play a greater role in battles against the Demon Race.
What was more.
The Human Race's Divine Abilities and spells could complement one another.
Everyone used ranged attacks.
If a close-combat expert appeared at a time like that.
And charged straight in to fight the Demon Race hand to hand.
How were the other humans supposed to coordinate with him?
If they unleashed their Divine Abilities and spells, they risked injuring their own ally.
If they did not, were they supposed to stand there and watch?
That would hardly be appropriate either.
So.
Almost no humans trained in close combat.
Because it really was difficult to coordinate.
It was manageable with fewer people.
After all, the Human Race's Divine Abilities and spells could be aimed.
But in large-scale battles.
Coordination became very difficult.
If large numbers of humans trained in close combat, that could actually work too.
They could form an army.
That would work as well.
When battle truly came.
They could advance together as an army.
The problem was that no such army existed.
Besides, close combat was inherently extremely dangerous.
One careless mistake.
And they might all be wiped out.
The Human Race also did not want the experts they had painstakingly nurtured.
To suffer devastating casualties in a single battle.
So training in close combat.
Was entirely voluntary.
The Human Race neither supported nor opposed it.
People like Xiping Chuixue.
Who had begun training in close combat from childhood were not unheard of.
After all, the Human Race now had its so-called Sword Gods.
Although these so-called Sword Gods attacked from a distance.
And were cultivators who wielded flying swords.
Their own close-combat prowess was not weak either.
The very best Human Race experts.
