章節 23: His Ways Of Combat
"your words make no sense. If you are going to teach me then do it. Stop half-assing it by only telling me what you want to tell me and not what I really should be knowing".
Getha could no longer stand the way Sango was treating her. It is like he expects her to be so good at everything, be this brilliant mind that is capable of seeing through him with just one demonstration.
He might have been that way, but she isn't, she is different from that. Just days ago, she was nothing but an ordinary Goblin who happens to be born into a tribe that worships a forbidden God, thereby leading to their deaths including that of her parents.
That was her life. She did not live the life of a genius, the life of a talent or of a mister know it all. Her life could be counted amongst the realm of ordinary with the exception of her tribe's belief.
"if you want to be respected or be feared as a warrior distinguished amongst those you are in the age category with, you have to make use of not only your body, but also your brain".
"i don't understand".
Sango managed to draw Getha's attention with the statement 'feared as a warrior'.
She wanted to know how she can have the people who killed her tribe fear her, how she can instill that fear into them as they did to her.
"it comes from how you fight. The only reason why you need an high attribute stat is so you can be on a level where your body's coordination can align with your thoughts".
There are two players of equal attribute stats about to face off against each other in a duel.
What will decide the outcome of such a duel is how well the players know each other, and how well they know their skills inside and out.
"when I thrust out my fist on your face earlier, what I expected you to answer me with, is how far you have gone on your calculations concerning what angle my fist is going to be coming from".
Sango's goal of being the strongest in LORDS was not an ordinary goal but an extraordinary one.
To make such a goal come alive, he knew what he had to do and what he had to sacrifice to get there.
Sango's way of fighting includes his body being in a perfect shape that it would listen to whatever orders given directly from the brain.
That is why there was a need for him to increase his stats, to enhance his body's physical features.
LORDS is a gmae where relying only on your stats would get you nowhere except as a bottom feeder to the high ranked players.
You had to have the basic skills, incorporate martial arts to your gameplay for precise attacks and minimum movements to make deadly attacks.
That is how LORDS was played, and that is how the rankers and high rankers played the game.
Sango however, took his own to a new level, a level that one can only consider as the craziness of a power thirsty player.
He brushed aside the use of martial arts to aid in his movement and instead adopted the power of perception and prediction.
When a fist is headed his way, Sango calculates the several directions the fist could go through before it got to him.
The path it took and how said path affects the fist coming forward, how it increases the power behind the fist and in what part of his body would be hit depending on the path taken by the fist.
Sango also thinks of the form with which is used to thrust out the fist, how said form can end up changing before it got to him, and in how many ways said form can change into.
The most important part that Sango takes very seriously, is studying himself and the opponents body movement.
A slight change in the opponent is all it takes to crumble down an incoming attack and either change the trajectory of the attack, or change the overall settings of the attack.
A thrust out fist can end up changing into a thrust out palm. A thrust out palm likewise can end up changing into a sideways thrust out fist or a sideways thrust out palm.
A slight change in the way the body is positioned when thrusting out the fist, can lead to the fist being withdrawn so the leg can be used.
There are millions of possibilities that could be drawn out from a single action made, and Sango's way is to analyze such possibilities.
Now bear in mind that Sango in the world of LORDS does not have a brain that allows him to think of a million possible ways in such a short span of a fist coming at him.
He has no such powers that grants him the ability to work his brain faster than the physical actions of his opponent enhanced by the stats features.
What he does to compensate for that, is draw out the basic options and only apply it to when the attack is seconds away from making contact with him.
By doing that, he lessens the range of thoughts needed to figure out an action made by cutting off some components out of it.
What this simply means, is that when a fist is within his eyes range, there are certain actions that the fist cannot make for example, the fist has gotten so close to his eyes that it would be nearly impossible for it to change its trajectory to the side of the stomach.
Doing that, would require the opponent to renew the position of the body and prepare themselves to throw out a new form of attack.
As for his body, Sango makes certain that he learns more about his abilities and what they are capable of, the full potential of it and how it can be incorporated into combat to draw out its full value.
His tactics have been very useful when he is up against players who rely on stats or those why rely on skills or martial arts.
The one person he has had a hard time using the tactics against, is the Martial God who has the ability to use all weapons and the moves behind those weapons.
His ability counters Sango's tactics by granting him a skill that allows him to make several combinations in a short span of time, combinations that exceeds Sango's thoughts.
His would be gotten to at a later date. He has no business being mentioned as of current.
"do you get it now? I don't want you just relying only on your physical ability, I want you to link your physical ability with your brain and bring out its maximum power level".
Getha roughly understood what Sango was trying to tell her. When she did, she saw or rather envisioned how his ways could take her higher than even her imagination.
