Chapter 50 - Instant Death! (2/2)

This completely messed up what she understood about the system. The knowledge she prided herself in was slowly becoming more and more useless.

”We don't need to prepare much. Let's give ourselves the home-ground advantage. Let's go to the beach.”

...

Letty and Will arrived at the beach smoothly without any interruptions, demonic beasts had obviously surrounded them, but they were not approaching, because they had seen what had happened to the leopard. Those who had not seen heard. These beasts had their own methods of communication. So the duo's trip to the beach was unhindered, but to Letty, this was a bad omen.

'It's only a matter of time before the mini-boss arrives. Being near a water source would provide more water, but it's not enough to kill a mini-boss of this caliber, besides at his level he can't use that much water at one time, in other words, water is not the real reason we are here...Master probably has something else up his sleeve, something like intent!'

Letty assumed that Will was here to lay some grand trap, but he had simply come here for the water. That's it. Will had more than enough water, but he wanted to fight in an environment where water was abundant to try out a new skill of his. To Will this was more of an experiment, so he was not sure if this would work, but he was confident the results would not be bad.

Will walked to the shore and knelt; placing one hand in the water, ”Tell me, Letty, how much about intent do you know?”

”...It's a powerful ability that only top class users have. That it is will manifested in reality... That's all I know.” she muttered bashfully. Her lack of knowledge on the matter made her feel somewhat embarrassed.

”Yet you were able to produce some in front of me, you did so without knowing what it was?”

”That was something that my father taught me, I only know how to instinctively bring it out, nothing more.”

Will nodded, because he himself was no different from her five years ago, stumbling upon the path of martial arts like a blind man in a library looking for a story.

”Well Letty to put it simply, intent is just like what you said. Definitions won't help, but showing should. When our friend arrives, I will show you what I mean.”

As Letty stood behind Will, she was trying her best to understand what little information he had given her, she was also trying to see what he was doing by placing his hand in the water. So far it seemed as if he was doing nothing, but her instincts told her otherwise.

”Don't just stand there; you also have something you need to do. The skill I gave you, learn it now.”
