64 Enchantmen (1/2)

He wondered, why his mentor hadn't advised him to spend more time on control.

Now that he had practiced with the wooden sword, destroying tens of them, it was time to apply it on his real sword.

He carefully followed the by him developed steps and soon his sword was wreathed in flames, while still being cold to the touch.

”Yes!”, he spontaneously let out a scream of excitement.

<< Congratulation you have developed a new way to gain the effect Flame Enchantment.

Your method has been graded as Unranked, since it is ineffective, while having high requirements.

+5 Honor for being the first to use this method.

Remark: Who would have expected that something you developed would be ineffective? Wait, I did!

>>

”Wow. I didn't expect to gain something like this.”

Once again he ignored the remark. Even though the five honor wasn't that much for him he was still happy to get them.

The best thing to him was that the System had given him a name for this skill.

* After I finish here I will have to check out more information about Flame Enchantment.*

But now that he had a way to attack and defend it was time to get rid of this vine.

Before that he checked out his other gains during his experiments. Not only had he developed a new skill, but his Will Power had increased significantly too.

It seemed like trying to find new ways to apply his skills was a great way to train it. If it wasn't so depending on inspiration it would be great to do it a few more times.

Once again he and Vlada proceeded forwards until they reached the area, where they had been stopped the last time.

This time he was ready when the vine shot towards him and he parried with his flaming sword. When the vine got near it, it instinctively stopped because of its fear of fire, which enabled Ivan to easily stop the attack.

”Great, it works.”

Using his sword to block all incoming strikes he got closer to the tree, from which the vine came from.

The vine was winding around the trunk of the tree which was more than two meters wide. Following it upwards he saw that it ended somewhere in the top of the tree.

Because he had no easy way to get up there he could only hack at thevine in the hope to remove as much as possible of it.

When he struck the vine he realized to his surprise that the tree had no reaction to the flames on his sword. There wasn't even the slightest bit of charring to be seen.
