Chapter 19: Chapter 19
Due to the trials being in an arena, there were countless videos online. I had a lot of free time before I could play B.L.A.N.K so I had watched a great deal of them. Of the combinations I had seen, the one before me was going to be the most troublesome.
Like the first round, I chose to not use my shield and just wield my sword. This would allow me to switch to a two-handed stance if I needed more power, which I determined I would need while looking at the mountain of metal charging across the sand at 200% speed.
My opponent had used the sub-skill charge, which propelled the user at high speed towards the target. It is a great skill to use in combination with other sub-skills for greater damage.
I mentally prepared and calculated my next few moves. As I hoped, my enemy activated his second sub-skill making his weapon shimmer as he came within range of me. He attacked with a powerful thrust, but the attack hit air.
Miss!
I had dropped into a roll to my left, using my small size to stay close to the ground.
He turned to his right to face me but I had once again dropped into a roll, this time to his left. I hid in the blind spot created by his tower shield. With the tip of my foot I pushed on the bottom of his shield. Tower sheilds are held with the forearm on the top of the shield, if you place a little bit of pressure on the bottom the top of the shield will tilt, leaving a perfect gap to attack in.
I did this and jumped into the air as the shield tipped forward and I slid my sword over the top and into the exposed neck of my opponent. I grabbed with both hands and used power attack as I thrust the sword into his neck.
Blood gurgled and spurt as the sword went in deep.
You have dealt 96 damage!
Critical hit!
Ding! You have slain your opponent! 0/80
Ding! Congratulations you have completed the second round of the trial! Prepare for the third round!
The metal gate began to open up as the man digitized and dematerialIzed into nothingness. A moment later my next opponent exited from the dark of the tunnel.
Time for round 3.
