[Bonus Quest: Dual Slash!

​

Grade: Advanced

​

Type: Training

​

Description: Since the beginning of time, the principle to understand how a fight works starts with an ingraining of the art in one's soul. Repeating the same thing so many times that it becomes an extension of you. Learn the ways of follow-through, and maybe you will touch the pinnacle of what lies beyond the fundamentals.

​

Objectives:

-Learn at least 3 follow-through slashes on 2 different strikes

​

Reward: [Dual Slash(Basic)]

​

Remark: Repeat the hard thing so many times that it becomes the easiest thing you do in your daily routine.]

​

Raven looked at the quest with a focused gaze.

​

It wasn't just the fact that this game allowed you to use these skills after going through in-game training, but also the question of whether she could do the same in real life.

​

It was obvious that she would be able to repeat what she had learned in real life, copying it into the game. But this quest, in fact, all the other bonus quests that her part had gotten, made her think of the possibility of doing the opposite, that is, taking the skills out in real life.

​

Will it be possible? She questioned before taking a few steps back and waiting for Ezekiel to take his turn first.

​

Trisha and Blaze got closer to Raven, while Link and G, who were practicing at a distance, also reached them. This was something they couldn't miss.

​

They say Ezekiel walked closer to that man, taking out a long sword this time. Holding it with two hands, he moved into the circles before speaking,

​

"It is an honour to fight with you."

​

The man nodded before taking a proper stance as well.

​

Unlike before, where that man barely took interest in the other's attacks, dodging them as much as possible, that man looked extremely serious now. His eyes were focused, preparing himself for any attack that was possible.

​

-Whoosh!

Ezekiel moved first, his blade went in for a forward slash, then a diagonal, and lastly a thrust. All in a single instance.

​

As the man barely dodged the first three attacks, Ezekiel took a step back, avoiding the counterattack that the man was preparing.

​

-Whoosh!

​

Before moving in for another string of attacks.

​

Each strike had at least three more embedded in it. Their directions were hard to predict; that man was barely able to dodge most of it. Unlike the others, this time, that man fought with all his might. He exhibited skills that seemed almost impossible to understand, and then moved flawlessly, trying to injure Ezekiel.

​

Though what was even more surprising was Ezekiel himself.

​

I… I didn't think he would be this strong!! Raven was taken aback. The skills that Ezekiel was showing were way more intense than what he had been showing for the past two weeks. It would be moronic to compare the difference between the two.

​

It was the same for the rest of the party members.

​

It was the same for those who were watching the stream.

But what was even more surprising wasn't just the skills. It was the fact that Ezekiel just kept increasing the pace of his attacks.

​

Each passing moment reduced the minor gaps he took in between attacks. The man, though still skilled enough to parry and dodge, was now barely holding himself together.

​

The same boss, who seemed invincible just a few moments ago, was now slowly losing momentum against Ezekiel.

​

It's as if he can see where the attacks are coming from. Raven saw Ezekiel's movement getting more predetermined with each passing moment. Every step the man was taking, Ezekiel's attack was already there.

​

It didn't take much time before Ezekiel slowly started to take over that man. The seemingly invincible man slowly lost his HP, chipping away one step at a time.

​

"Is this even possible?" Trisha asked, her eyes focused on Ezekiel. Her mind seemed to be confirming her doubts about Ezekiel being an AI. There was no other explanation for what he was showing right now.

​

"Maybe… but unless one spends his entire time training, I don't think anyone can do that in a single lifetime. It would require decades of practice," Raven answered. She, too, considered the possibility of copying what Ezekiel was capable of. And even though it did seem possible by practicing the right path, what made it ridiculous was the time it would take to learn everything he was able to do.

​

10 years for fundamentals. 10 more to learn the advanced movements, up to 3 moves. Lastly, about 10 more to reach the level he is right now. She thought before gulping a little.

​

According to her calculations, Ezekiel must have been training from the time when he was very young, not wasting a single moment on anything else.

There was no other possibility.

​

They all saw that monster's HP reaching exactly 50% before it stopped decreasing any further. That man then took a huge jump away from Ezekiel before landing on top of the mausoleum.

​

"Boy, you really got me there. Just who are you? And are today's kids really as skilled as you are?" He asked, amazed, as he observed Ezekiel.

Noticing that Ezekiel wasn't answering anything, he sighed before adding,

​

"Not gonna answer? Tch. Such a boring lad.

Anyway, you pass. You can enter there and take one legacy. Though be careful, you can only choose one legacy, and the legacy must also choose you back. You understand?"

​

Ezekiel nodded before turning to the rest of the party members.

​

"I will be going in, and it might take me a day or two before I return. Meanwhile, you guys continue training. Also, if you do happen to complete the basic training, there will be more bonus quests. Well, at least what's mentioned according to the description of this place," Ezekiel said before waving at them and moving towards the mausoleum's gate.

​

Before anyone could say anything at all, he opened the gate and immediately entered it.
