Chapter 53: Simulation [3]
[System: the player Esther Lander has activated her blessing in this state she\'ll gain access to her inner power]
"Give it your all Hugo, strike like you mean it, hand-to-hand combat," Esther charges toward Hugo that was recovering from her last blow
"Foresight!!!," Hugo didn\'t fall behind and he unleashed one of his most powerful skills which gave him the ability to see through the foreseeable future
The two of them were duking it out, in the center of the forest, which was the battlefield to the others as well which were filled with pieces of wood and rubble. which gave the two of them the edge they needed for their attacks. Esther used the rubble that was piling up in their surroundings to blind Hugo before she closes in and swung her legs at full force. only for them to be caught by Hugo\'s hand that she immediately regrets resulting in her flight to the nearby trees when he finally lets go of her leg
"So, who do you think will win?" Shin brushed off the dirt that was on her clothes after she got herself knocked down by a flick of Airis\'s finger
"Tell me, what do you see when you look at their capabilities," Airis carefully observed their movements while she feels the energy accumulating in their fight
"Doesn\'t it look so obvious? Hugo already had her with that counter what can she possibly do to injure him in her current state," Airis chuckled from her conclusion of the match which makes her curious about Airis\'s opinion
"It\'s not about who has the highest stats or refined playstyle it\'s how you adapt to any kind of battle. so what\'s you\'re supposed to ask is who\'s more adapted to their situation and not in their abilities,"
The two of them took a step closer to gain a better view of the match as Esther and Hugo\'s fight was at its climax, Hugo went straight to her location to perform his final move
[System: the player Hugo Miller has activated the skill Mana circulation, the Mana has been charged at a singular point of his arm]
"Household sacred arts, weaponless technique, Destructive palm," Esther unleashed one of her household\'s sacred art that needed a set of Mana control along with her concentrated breathing which manifested an attack similar to Hugo
"Demonic sword arts, Repulsive swing," The moment she sensed a surge of energy that could easily have incapacitated the two she swung her sword at the speed at which she could intercept the collision which redirected all of the pent-up energy to erupt causing all of the nearby land to be destroyed in the process
[That attack she manipulated Chi perfectly at this point of the trials that\'s not even possible unless she unlocked it at a young age]
\'I knew she wasn\'t normal when we met her for the first time, Chi manipulation, Energy detection, and lastly Murderous eyes, I can only imagine that she\'s contracted with a demonic deity,\'
[System: The Crimson demoness that likes to drink blood is impressed with your speculation, she wants you to learn a skill]
[This player is rather mysterious, I can sense an Aura that I can only hope to witness in a life time]
"It looks like my deity noticed that you are talented, I\'m not going to force you to accept my deity\'s skills is a little risky for someone like you. I\'ll give you a day or two, just thinking about your life instead of the skill, more importantly, Esther, that\'s your name right? I\'m curious about that attack you activated," Airis reaches her hand at Esther while she gives a warm and welcoming smile
\'Her eyes aren\'t normal I know it I felt like I was enacting a person\'s death when j gazed at her eyes. she\'s not to be trusted, I need to find a way to get rid of her I can only imagine what she\'ll do once were asleep,\'
"It\'s a technique that originated from my ancestors, it\'s just a little trick that they were able to make that could make a normal person as deadly as a monster. it uses the flow of Mana and the concentration of one\'s breathing to unleash an attack that could be compared with a skill," Esther explained her attacks origin while she plays along with her act
The two of them could sense it from a mile away that they couldn\'t get along while they hide their true faces in the fake smiles that they displayed for their next attempt. which was to form a relationship with each other even if they hated their situation making them throw away their arrogance just for the sake of this act
"It\'s a great technique mind if you tell me how to utilize it I\'ll share some of my knowledge as well,"
Both of them lived by a principle they can\'t turn a blind eye to their enemies, which makes them more attracted to forming a bond as much as they can they\'ll learn each other\'s weaknesses and use them against each other
"What\'s up with those two I can feel a rather disturbing Aura coming from their location," Shin handed over a bottle of water to Hugo before they went back to the camp
Their journey was rough and tiring along with the traps that they have placed in every part of the forest they were never disabled which they currently used as a sort of training when they weren\'t sparring. time passes by and the morning light disappeared as it finally became noon the sun was shining brightly considering that they were inside a dark and cold forest which they travel across which tested their endurance and their stamina. and after a long day of hiking, they reached their destination where they are greeted by Blake who\'s finished with the potions that restored their depleted stamina
"You guys are early, drink this you must be parched, everyone\'s in the campfire we were just about to cook our lunch," Blake handed out the potions before he goes back to his tent that was filled with a ton of ingredients for his potions
[What a tiresome day it was the only thing that was interesting was the sparring matches aside from that everything was gloomy]
"I wonder what was that side project they were busy with," Hugo was curious about the sudden change of their training in the middle of the afternoon while he remained silent in the campfire until one of them said something about Morris
"Yoona do you remember the time when we first met Morris?" Gale got Hugo\'s attention after he tried everything to snap him out of his silence
"Of course, the three of us got buried while Shin tried to break free only to get punched in her stomach,"
"What the hell I thought we agreed to never speak of this ever again,"
"Hey Shin, don\'t tell me that was the reason why you hated him," Gale\'s laugh that could\'ve lasted for a minute or two was forcibly stopped by a single swing of Shin\'s elbow which she aimed at his throat
"First encounters are such a joy I even remember the first time I met him," Airis smiled as she heard a story that concerned him
"How did you meet him?" Esther asked her while she was reminiscing about their encounter
"How about all of us share our encounters," Airis was interrupted as a figure suddenly approach her in the back while the others were startled
"Declined all of my encounters with all of you was either fatal or deadly," Morris interrupted them in the middle of their conversation along with Jin that was accompanied by Blake
"Boss, what took you so long I was worried,"
"Master Quon is lonely,"
The two of them hissed at each other while they came in contact with Morris, latching their arms around him after they haven\'t seen him for 10 days
[When did you become a caretaker it looks like you have some potential in that area if only your personality was a little more friendly]
\'That\'s his words after I barely survived the crafting process of my staff, If only you weren\'t giving me some skills that I could utilize I would have muted you for a long time,\'
"Alrighty as much as I would love to hear your experiences living in this environment, we\'re already behind our schedule. it\'s time for the long-awaited match you guessed it the sparring match that you\'ve been waiting for," Morris changed the structures of the sealed space while Jin edited its details
[System: the sealed space has been changed to a different landscape, the creator of the structure Jin and Morris, calls for the players inside the sealed space for their final training]
