18 Hitting Level Seven (2/2)
Instead of teleporting back to town, I instead ran straight out from my cabin towards the forest of beginners. On the way there, I killed a few level 15 bears and wolf packs, successfully leveling up to level 7!
Taking a mini-break once again perched in a tree, I happily equipped my helmet and dagger. Now I can use the dual wielding skill! I'll get some practice on mobs before I actually do it on normal players. Oh right, I also wanted to try out a new technique that I researched on during my free time.
Squatting on the end of a thin branch that was covered by many leaves, I let my senses spread out and relaxed my tense shoulders while swaying with the breeze and keeping my balance.Lightly holding onto both of my daggers, my loose cloak gently fluttered behind me. I stayed in the same posture for some time, getting a good feel of the wind brushing past me and the ruffling of the leaves.
Great, everything's going well so far. Onto stage two.
I've been training my patience and meditation since I was young, so waiting a long amount of time was considered nothing to me at this point.
After waiting for a few more minutes, I suddenly felt a slight change in the air as the wind started to gradually pick up the pace. Noticing a rustle in the bushes out of the corner of my eyes, a small figure appeared. Without hesitation, I coiled up and bounded off the branch in sync with a large gust of wind and landed on the poor boar, stabbing it in the neck with both knives.
What was I doing? Uh, trust me, I wasn't trying to act cool like some ninja okay. It was actual practice!
To others, it would seem as if I had suddenly appeared out of nowhere and was standing over the boar. The reason is that the large blast of wind acted as a natural silencer against sound, the leaves of the trees acted as cover and combined with my insane agility, I suppose you could say that it looked like I had teleported.
Although it's pretty useful, the timing for this technique is quite difficult to achieve. A strong gust of wind has to appear while your prey is still at a reasonable distance. Having a stationary target would be much easier.
I suppose my luck with this time was just too good!
But anyways, this dual wielding skill is awesome, if I use it in the right circumstances I could even inflict double damage!
….Ah...I just remembered.
I almost forgot to place my new stat points!
Of course, I'm placing them all into agility, cause strength can be substituted for skill and technique at this early point of the game. And I really don't find a need for anything else....okay!
But, what should I do with all these skill points that I haven't used yet?
Thanks to a bonus from my titles, I got a generous amount of 3 every level up. I currently had 21, ordinary players only get one a level.
...….You know what, let's just save these up for now. I don't have a big use for them, so I might as well apply them when there's an emergency or a rare skill pops up.
Finishing up my leveling up business, I sped towards the forest at an even faster speed than before.
Haaaaaa....I hope I don't break the game.
