Chapter 88 - 88. Two Swords (1/2)

After a few hours Mack opened his eyes and a headache came to salute him.

”Ahhh my head”

Putting his hands on his face, he felt the pain increase a bit.

”Hey old man, did you hit me?”

[That is for you to learn how to properly respect your ancestors]

~sigh~

Mack could not bother himself arguing with him. That old man was crazy.

[Are you done crying?]

”Yeah Yeah”

Said Mack, looking around to see where he was..

The place seemed a penthouse in one of those fancy hotels that Mack saw on tv dramas when young.

Looking to his right, Mack even saw a pool made of glass that spanned a few meters.

[Lets go, I have something to teach you]

”You? Why?”

[Because I'm bored, and seeing you with two swords and not having a clue how to use them makes me want to cry every single moment]

”So, you are going to teach me how to use two swords? And why the heck you keep talking on my head, I can see you right in front of me!”

[Do you know how many years has been since I don't talk those languages from Earth? And they changed a lot! Using the mental link is easier for me]

”Ok then, but why help me with two swords?”

[Think of this as my personal compensation for the punch]

Said Harlack spouting the first thing that came to his mind, but the true was, seeing a warlock with two swords gave him agony at each second, warlocks never used two swords, simply because it was not effective, using daggers and a sword was proved to be more easy and practical along the years.

”So, where we going to train? this place seems small.”

[Here, if you destroy anything, I will stop teaching you. If you can't control your own body, why try to control a sword? Let alone two]

”Makes sense, I ....”

[Enough of talking, two swords.... god have mercy of this poor soul, lets see...]

Said Harlack, trying to remember the only fight style that worked with swords of same size.

[The most effective way to use two swords is what they call the harassing fight style, you need to focus in keep the enemy always busy defending and not let them counter attack, because while holding a sword with only one hand you will not be able to defend properly, so is better to ignore defense completely and focus on attacking]

”Ok, keep attacking and ignore defense.”

[But warlocks can use their Essence Manipulation Arts along with that, and you can't. You need to touch your hands to activate what you call runespells, thus stopping the attack with swords.]

”Yes, that was a problem for me even with one sword, with two will be even more troublesome to coordinate this during a fight”

[Kid, you seem to not understand, if you fight someone the same level of you or higher, by the time you try to do it, you will see your own head flying]

”So.... I need to stop using runespells in fights?”
