Chapitre 478: Endlessly Chained Scythe
"For you to pass by everyone else to target me, I assume you have a goal?", Pale asked.
Yuto rested his scythe against his shoulder, "Yeah, to see how strong these Aces are."
"An action worthy of praise. Do not bring down your team by deciding this."
"I think I would be supporting them quite easily, after taking you down that is."
Pale lifted her shield and mace, "It is good to have confidence."
"I like to think so too!"
Yuto swung his scythe towards Pale's neck, but found his momentum stopping abruptly. He frowned as he saw Pale's shield blocking his scythe, for he swore she didn't move! Pale gently guided Yuto's scythe away, "Your intentions are leaking through. I can easily see what your next move will be."
"What's the point in giving advice in the middle of battle?!", Yuto chided as he continuously attacked.
"The point of The Arena isn't just to prove who has the greatest of candidates.", Pale answered calmly while blocking his every blow, "Rather it is for the chosen warriors to gain more experience in battle. A way of fighting with everything on the line. I have no qualms against providing advice to the enemy, especially a new fighter."
"Are you calling me a newbie? I'll take that as an insult you know!"
"It is not an insult, rather a matter of fact. The way you fight clearly shows you don't have much experience in battle. It is not something to take shame in, rather it is something you must embrace to overcome."
Pang~!
Yuto's arms quivered as Pale deflected his scythe. The strength behind the movement was extraordinary.
In A World's Legacy it became obvious that Tanks should not base their build entirely around health. For the greater the strength difference not only would they take some damage from blocking attacks, but if the difference was large enough they would be knocked back quite some distance. For a main Tank, this would be like sentencing the party to death. Therefor Tank builds usually put everything they had into HP and Strength, as to properly block attacks. However because of this they lacked in just about every other department. Their speed was terrible, their MP reserves were the worst, and their Skill usage was very little. Despite this Tanks were still one of the most popular builds, no matter the variant.
Now why was this important? The reason was simple! These weakness don't apply to Pale! Her power was high across the board! As a Paladin she naturally had high reserves of Prayer. Her strength and defense was abnormal, and her speed was something that shouldn't be possible for a heavy weight class! For Yuto, this was terrible news! He, as a class that focused primarily on dealing damage, was actually going to be outmatched in every aspect he excelled in!
As he took a step back to keep his feet steady, Pale's mace suddenly slammed into his stomach. He doubled over as he slid back, barely staying on his feet. He wanted to throw up, such a powerful blow was sickening to endure. But that wasn't what angered him. The attack executed by Pale wasn't even a serious one! It was like she was saying he wasn't worth her time! One thing Yuto hated the most was being looked down upon!
"I really hate doing this! But since you're not even looking at me like I'm worthy of your time. . ."
Pale made an interested expression and slightly lowered her shield, "It seems you have another option, very well."
Yuto grit his teeth and grabbed his scythe with both his hands, like he was holding a guardrail. His muscles tensed as gripped onto it tightly, "Time and time again I was complained to, that this strength of mine wasn't my own, but rather my weapon's. As if the efforts I put it in to use this was for nothing. So I swore off of using it, to show those people!"
Pale shook her head, "A weapon is an extension of us. To intentionally not use it is akin to not truly fight."
"I'm glad you think that way, but don't regret it!"
Clank-!
Yuto's scythe was suddenly ripped into two. A chain linking the two parts formed. Spinning the chained weapon he did a few practice tricks. Pale watched as the chain seemingly grew and shortened in length. Bringing back the scythe to his hands he wrapped his arm in the thick chain, "It's not an exaggeration to say my strength triples when I use this. So perhaps you'll look at me like an opponent now!"
"I sense no greater strength in you, the only change was your weapon. It seems like your confidence stems from something else. So show me."
"Gladly!"
The scythe arced into the air as Yuto threw it. The chain constantly and endlessly extending. Spinning the handle he threw that as well, towards the main part of the scythe. Once they met he jerked the chain, causing them to head inwards and bounce off each other. Leaping into the air he started to swing and pull the chains in different directions. The handle and scythe began bouncing off the chains and each other, causing a chaotic web of chain.
Pale watched with an impressed look, 'This is not something that can easily be mastered. He's using the chains as platforms to continue building off of. Since the chains extend he doesn't need to worry about friction, and can intertwine them however he pleases.'
Yuto swung his arm, with both his hands and arms full of chains, and the scythe curved towards Pale. As she lifted her shield to block it, a chain suddenly jerked forward and deflected the scythe before it reached her. Bouncing off the chain and the ground Yuto caused his web to slowly grow larger and around Pale.
This all was because of his weapon, The Endlessly Chained Scythe! An ordinary player who comes into contact with Yuto's way of using it would quickly be overwhelmed! That was why he received so many complaints!
Despite him locking it away during actual combat, he still constantly improved his usage of it. Purely because he found it fun. Because of this his proficiency with the weapon reached a level even the weapon's creator didn't expect!
Pale smiled, "This is where your confidence stems from, a shame you did not start with this. If that is the case I will respond in kind."
L’AVIS DES CRÉATEURS 
UnableToOpenDoor
UnableToOpenDoor A large part of why I wanted to do this arc was because of my constant ideas of different weapons and fighting styles. So far I think the fighting has been relatively simple. So I wanted to amp things up a bit >:D
