Chapter 77: Dark Combat Technique (2/2)
And her helplessness only increased when she focused on the makeshi+ft weapon she held Instead of a wooden branch, the texture had changed in her hands, the first ti a deep black coloration, the former branch now radiated a tiny portion of the black abyss that previously enveloped it Even the coldness rees of the stick
Somewhat unhappy to have failed to execute the [Shadow Clad] technique, Nisha discarded the black branch, tossing it aside To her surprise, the sound it round did not rese in the middle, the transfor soon made sure to remember this tidbit of information
Breaking off another branch fro the dark power residing deep inside her, coating the branch with purely her own force this time
Of course, this didn’tinside the branch, the shadows did indeed gather and condense Unfortunately it also rushed into the stick itself, which shattered fro unable to contain such a powerful force
No need to feel down, I just need to practice until I’ht, already being able to execute the [Shadow Clad] technique is quite good Only because the runes showed ress so quickly
Without losing her ain with branches, adamant on her decision to only move onto real weapons when she was certain that she would be able to pull it off one hundred percent of the ti her hand at the second ranked technique or using it on her [Taurith Short Swords]
Practicing until night fell, Nisha awoke the next , surprised that her consciousness inside the [Soul space] continued to exercise even when her physical body was asleep without her feeling tired fro
Does that hts to practice inside my space from now on? If so, I really made an important discovery!
Eager to put her new theory to work, the dragon suddenly remembered it was the Day of Dark and Luthais would soon depart with the carriage to attend court
Deliberating whether she should attend as well, her sense of duty coerness to try out the new technique won out and she donned her leather gear,her look like a professional huntress
Checking her equipment one last ti the process of drawing upon her dark ht of practice and a sht that deoal was to be able to si within it while experiencing the real world at the same time
It presented a challenge to the dragon, however she had never shi+ed away from one either
Even when it didn’t work out in the end, there was still a trace of improvement as her awareness of the space advanced further While she previously had to prepare all items to retrieve the each and every article inside with her attention Due to always being aware of every inch inside, retrieving anything became quite trivial
Playing around with her newfound trick, she properly excused herself from Luthais and saw the father and son off when they boarded their carriage, which would take them to court It hter of their house quite a lot of freedom He didn’t require her to justify her decisions The half elf siood day Nisha certainly knew that she was trusted to a large extent, causing her chest to sarmth
Accepting this place as my home, my decision at the time seems to have been more than just correct
Suers to pieces of ore without letting anyone see, the dragon was on her way towards the harbour, the dungeon her destination for the day
Inside, she would be able to practice her [Shadow Clad] technique on actualHall of the Guild
Huirl coate rather quickly, her mind on other matters She even s from the [Soul space] that she hadn’t previously deposited there, such as parts of the branches she practiced with Albeit the dragon felt a strong sense of exhaustion with just a tiny piece of wood taken out Thankfully, the effect reversed when she returned the branch inside, otherwise today’s trip to the dungeon would have been impossible
Refraining froer to admire the capital, a place that still held many mysteries and wonders to her Just recently she discovered a hidden sanctum on her way to the Eel’s Park, where she had intended to play chess as she often took detours Hidden by a door overgroith nuarden between the walls of several houses was hidden from view Neither of the adjacent residences had any s looking inside the secret refuge and the door naturally blended into the wall that it was built into due to the vegetation on it Only due to her [Spirit Sight] did the wandering girl discover so was amiss
While straying froon also discovered that there were more monster and beast companions inside the city than she had anticipated Apparently it counted as good etiquette to not take theau Nisha had not attempted to co beast or closely enough related to allow proper conversation In this way, this was an advantage and a disadvantage of the beast language at the saue, but each of them also had a unique take on it, e While Nisha would be able to exchange very basic conversation, it degradedto talk to variated further from her own form
As her ate, a s one of the guards, she didn’t put all of her attention to the conversation
“hello Evan, how’s your wife doing? Still nagging you about the last ti?”
Chuckling at the question, the guard captain only returned a small smile and didn’t counter with the usual small talk
“Of course not, my ouldn’t be that simple minded On the other hand, I’ to go as well, but it seems the miss likes festivals, that’s nice to know”
Perplexed by the unusual response, her ears visually perked up
“Festival? Why haven’t I heard of that? What’s going on?”
“Could it be that you really didn’t know? I thought you were surely going to go to the festival in the harbor I apologize if I was overly rash”
Suard captain named Evan ell aware that Nisha, who strolled in and out of the noble district at her leisure,to a house While he didn’t knohich one, he wasn’t in a position to ask either, so he just apologized on the spot
“Oh, don’ton and no one talked about it recently What is being celebrated?”
“That makes sense The information just came in yesterday, so you wouldn’t know about it yet A fleet of divers and fisher came back the day before and apparently they had quite the haul, and so everyone is gathering around and joining the o as well, miss?”
