Chapter 174 - 163.2 : New Functions (2/2)

The first two functions are nothing new to Arthur but to the third one is completely new, moreover, it's a bit intriguing.

”Explain the Materialize function.”

*Materialize allows the user 'Arthur' to train and perfect the Martial Arts or Magical skills he possesses. Unlike Phase Training, the time will not stop, instead, it'll be faster, one day spent in the Materialize function is equal to two days outside.*

'Double the time?'

Since it allows the user to perfect his skills, it's certainly useful but if one loses himself and trains for a week, then two weeks will pass outside, It's both good and bad at the same time. Someone like Arthur, who is very tight on time, can't spend months of days perfecting skills, at most, he'll spend a day.

”What if I spend an hour in the Materialize function?”

*Once the user enters the function, he can only go out after a day has passed.*

It's a very alluring function especially for the old hermits who would pass years or decades in seclusion, such a miraculous environment which helps them grow immensely stronger is even rarer than a phoenix's feather.

”What about the new phases?”

*Currently, the user 'Arthur' can access to the Beginner's Phase and the Trainer's Phase.*

”Then let me enter the Trainer's Phase for the time being.”

*Are you sure you want to begin the Trainer's Phase? Once you enter, you cannot stop.*

”Yes.”

*Countdown beginning:10..9..8..7...

*

...

*Please pick your weapon.*

*List:

One-handed axe:1000 Attack.

....

*

”No need for a weapon, proceed.”

*Please pick an armor.*

'Oh?'

Once he heard that, Arthur was a bit taken aback, in the Beginner's Phase, it never allowed him to pick an armor, he just wore Zodiak's robe, so seeing the list of armors, he was a bit delighted.

Since his stats are reduced and the opponent is decently strong, even if it's a low-grade armor, it'll benefit him greatly.

As he browsed through the long list of armors, Arthur picked a green leather armor which added a few points of defense but added a bonus of 5% in speed.

With an armor and bare fists, Arthur waited for his companion 'whitey' to show up.

*Are you ready.*

”Yes.”

With that said, a weird clicking noise rang in his ears before 'whitey' appeared at last, however, contrary to last time, he had an armor and a long black bow in his hands.

Without waiting for Arthur, the bow was pulled and a sharp metal arrow was thrown at his face.

Swiftly crouching and avoiding the arrow by a hair's breadth then he applied force on his left foot and pressed on the ground before his figure turned a bit blurry and in just a single step, the distance between him and 'whitey' was crossed.

Since it's the Trainer's Phase, he can now use Movement technique along with his Martial Arts, so he didn't hesitate as he quickly did some strange seals in in the air and by the time he appeared in front of 'whitey', a five-meter-long bronze platform appeared above him.

Arthur followed by a punch towards the enemy's chest which caused 'whitey' to retreat back a few steps, however, unfortunately for it, the punch was merely a feint as Arthur waved his right hand down, throwing the bronze platform at whitey, who wasn't able to get away in time.

What followed was brutal as poor 'whitey' was literally crushed by the platform which came down from above, it crushed it on the ground until it died with no ways of resistance.

Standing a few meters away from the bronze platform, Arthur smiled and waited for the next phase to begin....
