Chapter 1187: Blotted

The spear avatar not only seemed to layer his strikes, it carried a partial will of the staff. It combined concepts of momentum and resonance to cause multiple strikes to become one. However, it wasn't until Dyon understood a third concept that he finally passed this trial after two weeks: Effortlessness.

It wasn't just about mastering your movements to the point that they seemed to flow from your body, but also about effortless attacking. Why ram into your opponent's shield when a chink in his armor was obvious? Why attack where your opponent had momentum when you could attack him on his back foot?

The spear was a weapon that took advantage of range even more obviously than the glaive. It was a weapon made to ease effort. To defeat your opponent before they had a chance to defeat you… This was the inner working of the spear.
