1104 A new Battle Skill.
“What weapon are you most comfortable with?”
Before Vyriana started anything, she questioned.
“Sword.”
Nux’s answer was instantaneous.
“Dual Swords to be more exact.”
“Heh, that’s quite an aggressive fighting style, I never saw you using Dual Swords though.”
“That’s because I never felt the need to.”
“Oh?” Vyriana raised her eyebrow.
“Come at me then.” She spoke.
“Huh?”
“I need some way to understand what level you currently stand at, don’t I? Since you ‘never felt the need’ to use Dual Swords because of the weak enemies you faced, Come at me with everything you have.”
Vyriana spoke and without wasting any more time, Nux took out two 12 Star swords from his storage rings.
Then, with a serious look on his face, he disappeared using [Blink Fault], Vyriana blinked naturally, unbothered about her opponent who had completely disappeared.
Nux used the chance and appeared behind her, attacking her while gathering 10% of his Essence in just one attack. He also mixed in the Devouring Mist that could directly Devour the Enemy’s Life Force.
Just this sword slash alone was strong enough to cut Semi Saint Vedier in half, not to mention the Vibrations the Blink Fault brought with it, Vibrations that ignored the enemy’s defense. Along with it, he also used [Dark Amethyst] to create ridiculously strong spikes, each coming and aiming at Vyriana from a different angle.
Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh
Other than that, Nux also prepared around five 11 Star Magic Spells boosted by Essence right under Vyriana’s feet.
Honestly, an attack like this was quite useless against normal opponents, one simply had to change their position once, and all the attacks Nux had prepared would turn out to be useless.
However, Nux knew that no matter what, Vyriana wouldn’t do that. To prove her superiority, she would take this attack head-on.
And he was right.
Despite knowing how dangerous it could be, Vyriana just moved her hand, ready to catch Nux’s two swords.
Seeing this, Nux’s smile widened, this was his most desperate attempt to attack this woman who seemed like an insurmountable mountain.
One can even say it was the best possible option for his current self in his Human Form, however,
‘Huh…?’
The attack that carried so much momentum suddenly turned into a lull as Vyriana caught Nux’s swords with a single hand, the Devouring Mist disappeared the moment it came in contact with Vyriana’s hand, the vibration moved into her body, ignoring her Mana shield and her Dragon Scales, however, the moment they entered her body, they died down. The next thing Nux saw was his vision rolling and soon, he faced the sky.
The Magic Spells and Dark Amethyst Spikes were destroyed before they could even reach the Dragon Woman.
It was Nux’s complete defeat.
“There is no point in trying so many fancy things, it won’t work.
Stand up and this time, just come at me with your swordplay alone, show me how advanced your technique is.”
Vyriana spoke with even a slight change in her expression, it was as if destroying Nux’s strongest attack like this was no big deal.
Nux smiled wryly, then, he just shook his head, stood up, and glanced at Vyriana again.
Doing as he was told, he rushed towards Vyriana and attacked, Vyriana continued to block his attacks while he continued to attack relentlessly, every once in a while, Vyriana threw in a light jab in as well, some Nux was able to dodge, while others made him fall on the ground.
Of course, those ‘light jabs’ were only light from Vyriana’s standards. To Nux, they were no different from mountains falling on his face, he felt dizzy each time he was caught by Vyriana’s attack.
Nux couldn’t believe how such a slow move could contain so much strength, it was simply ridiculous.
The ‘spar’ continued for a good 4 hours, Vyriana continued to change her battle style seeing how Nux would react to different situations while facing different enemies. All this while, her eyes deeply observed Nux’s every move, every single mistake he made, and how he reacted if she chose to harass that mistake.
In a mere span of 4 hours, Vyriana understood everything there was to understand about Nux’s Dual Wielding Battle Style.
“Your style is quite similar to your wife.”
Vyriana commented.
“She taught me swordsmanship and I later improvised.”
“More than improvise, you should say you molded her Battle Technique to what suited you.” Vyriana corrected.
“You can say that.” Nux nodded.
“And that is where the problem starts.”
“Huh?” Nux frowned.
“As I said, you didn’t improvise that girl’s swordsmanship, you just made it more suitable for you, without any improvements at all.
That means that unlike Astaria, who has been improving her technique all this time, yours is still stuck in the time you people were in the Forgotten Continent, the only thing that has changed is that you are a lot stronger than before, making your
technique feel stronger than it is.
No doubt, your technique is quite good, for a King Stage Cultivator, that is.
For a Semi Saint, it is ridiculously outdated.”
“…”
Nux didn’t say anything.
Just as he expected, within just 4 hours, Vyriana was already pointing out things he should work on. This was something even Ambrosia and Orpheus didn’t notice, not that the two focused on his swordplay in the first place, their major focus was on how he used his skills and abilities rather than raw technique.
“Here.”
Suddenly, Vyriana took out 6 books and passed them all to Nux.
Nux glanced at the 6 Books Vyriana gave him.
Crimson Cresent Strike.
Roaring Dragon Thrust.
Phantom Parry.
Blade Ballet Footwork.
Tempest Repost.
Silent Vessel.
All of them were 12 Star Skill Books.
This was already quite shocking since 12 Star Skill books were extremely rare, however, Vyriana’s next words were even more shocking,
“There is no point in improvising your technique like Astaria did, it will take too much time and effort.
Rather than doing that, we will be creating a new Battle Style.
A Battle Style just for you.
Now listen carefully, Nux Leander, Every Sword Technique has 5 basic parts, Slash.
Stab.
Parry.
Counter.
And Footwork.
The first five Skill books I gave you, are the individual Skill Books that cover each of these basic parts separately and are advanced to the point that even covering a single basic part makes them strong enough to be called 12 Star Skills.
You will learn them all.
Then, using the Silent Vessel, you will mix them together, creating a completely new Battle Style,
Or a Battle Skill.
A 13 Star Battle Skill.”
