Chapter 46 (1/2)

This time, David chose to move the yellow Longsword Mastery (80% Proficiency) Knowledge Orb from the Shadow Servant’s body into his body. It was absorbed by his soul almost instantly.

Illusions began to appear before his eyes. It was a swordsmanship practitioner, whom he similarly could not control. He could only feel what the sword practitioner was feeling.

The sword practitioner was holding a longsword in his hand and practicing an ordinary set of basic longsword techniques, which David had also practiced before.

However, compared to that man, David was just a child. Although he was only at the 5%-Beginner level in Longsword Mastery, David could accept it easily.

It was different from learning other combat abilities. In the past, he had to learn abilities with no foundation.

David, who seemed to be enchanted, tried to feel the basic longsword technique practiced by that man. His Longsword Mastery increased from the 5% Beginner level.

After practicing the basic longsword technique, the man’s enemies became the Bugs and his moves became even more ferocious, menacing with their extreme killing power.

David had fused the Warhammer, Heavy-axe, Shield, and Sniper Knowledge Orbs. Apart from the Sniper Armorer, he still had not met any armorers that could kill a Class 1 Bug on his own.

However, the Longsword Armorer was constantly using his light and quick swordsmanship skills in battle to add more wounds to the body of the Hunter Mantis in front of him.

Although Hunter Mantises was relatively weak compared to the other Class 1 Bugs, they were still Class 1 Bugs at the end of the day and it usually took the cooperation of multiple Armorers to deal with a Class 1 Bug.

As the Hunter Mantis’ wounds increased, it became slower and slower. However, the Longsword Armorer was not in a hurry either, as he continued using his skills to deal with the Hunter Mantis.

The Longsword Armorer was like an old and experienced hunter, not showing any anxiety or fear. The longsword in his hand was like a gust of wind. Whenever it moved past the body of the Hunter Mantis, it would cause the bug to bleed green blood.

David got the relevant knowledge from the Longsword Armorer. Facing the Bugs, Longsword Armorers would forever only be able to retreat because the longsword was not a heavy weapon. Hence, it was unable to result in heavy damage while forcing the enemy to retreat.

In other words, when the longsword struck the Hunter Mantis, one would have to take into account the Hunter Mantis’ retaliation. However, the warhammer was different. As long as it was used to strike a Bug, it would definitely result in a retreating effect that was unique to heavy weapons, thus making the insects unable to immediately retaliate.

That was also the reason that the Longsword Armorer continuously wounded the Hunter Mantis without striking it in its weak spots. Rushing to attack before being sure about killing it without having the help of a companion would only put him in a dangerous situation.

In the end, the longsword stabbed the Hunter Mantis in its chest. At that moment, the Hunter Mantis’ green blood was almost all gone, every part of its shell damaged.

Next, the enemies of the Longsword Armorer turned into other Class 1 Bugs, the Longsword Armorer continuing to kill over a long period of time.

David clearly felt the growth of the Longsword Armorer. The Longsword Armorer often attacked alone and never joined forces with anyone. The Long Sword Armorer’s opponent also became individual armorers later on. Compared to fighting with Bugs, the process of fighting the other armorers was more like slaughtering.

During this period of time, the Longsword Armorer had gained an additional sword in his hand. He became a double-sworded armorer.

David opened his eyes, and as soon as he did, there was a harsh and menacing gaze in his eyes, just like that of the double-sworded armorer in his illusion.

Fortunately, David’s Mental Energy had reached 3.4 arbitrary units. The effects that he felt were thus suppressed.

He headed to the bedroom and picked up the scabbard. While he was holding it in his hand, he suddenly felt a telepathic feeling with his mind and soul.

Suppressing the urge to practice basic longsword techniques, he went to the underground gym with the scabbard in hand.

Standing in the center of the gym, he gently caressed the handle of the sword with his hand, the twin swords popping out of the scabbard as if they had come to life.

He casually tossed out the scabbard and caught the flying twin swords with both hands.

He felt like he was not practicing swordsmanship, but rather, he was being led into a dance by the twin swords themselves.

It was as if he and the twin swords were naturally compatible. The movement of the Level 2 longswords in his hands was sometimes light and rapid.
