Chapter 46: 045 [Magical Sword]
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The sound of the wind howled through the mountains.
It was not a wind brought by nature, but by a person.
At this moment, the petite girl in the black robe transformed into a gust of wind, dashing forward while lifting her head and looking at the Lizardman crowd, her eyes under the hood gleaming coldly.
In the next instant, a pair of weapons fell into the girl’s hands.
These were a pair of lethal blades with fearsome, serrated edges.
Holding such a pair of deadly blades, Tielle darted into the Lizardman crowd.
The Lizardmen cried out.
But that was the only reaction they could manage.
As the sound of flesh tearing rang out, one Lizardman had not even reacted before its body was sliced open by a fearsome blade, splattering a large amount of blood.
Tielle decisively and swiftly slew the nearest Lizardman and flicked the blood off the blade.
The nearby Lizardmen reacted, each one becoming furious as they surrounded Tielle, unabashedly swinging their longswords at her without a shred of mercy.
In response, Tielle seemed to have already mastered the enemies’ movements and actions, her figure flashing and darting like a gust of wind, creating a series of afterimages and evading all the incoming sword slashes.
Moreover, as she evaded, Tielle used the momentum from her footwork and dodging to close in rapidly along the Lizardmen’s weapons.
The blade flashed, severing a Lizardman’s head, leaving its body and head parted.
“Slash!” “Slash!” “Slash!”
The blades flashed repeatedly, relentlessly slicing open one Lizardman’s body after another.
Tielle darted about at high speed, her dual blades like the scythes of a Death God, continuously reaping the lives of Lizardmen.
It was simply, exceedingly bloody.
Shane showed a surprised expression.
Even he could tell that Tielle’s combat power was clearly superior to the rest of her team.
Vivian, as if she had expected this scene, gave a slight smile.
“Tielle, a guerrilla warrior trained to focus on attack and explosive power, excels at one-hit kills and targeting weaknesses. To kill the enemy as quickly as possible, she planned the best skill distribution and mastered them all through rigorous training back when she was Level 1.”
Vivian voiced her words as she watched that gale-like figure.
“The skill that enhances blade weapon technique and attack power—Dual Blades.”
“The skill that ignores a certain degree of defensive power—Penetration.”
“The skill that raises one’s speed with increasing levels—Acceleration.”
“The advanced evasion skill that not only allows dodging enemy attacks but also utilizes every means to approach the enemy swiftly—Close Range Evasion.”
“Adding on the skill Enemy Detection, which can sense hostile entities, all of Tielle’s acquired skills are types used for approaching, detecting, and assuredly killing the enemy, all of which she has raised to Level 5 or above.”
Since the number of Skill Points acquired depends on an individual’s talent and potential, Tielle was able to raise so many skills to Level 5 or above, indicating just how many Skill Points she got when leveling up and how significant her talent and potential were.
“With a current level of fifty-nine, she was just one step away from reaching Level Sixty, needed to become a Sixth Rank Adventurer this year, and Tielle was only sixteen years old, exactly two years younger than me. Even Lu Muya was a year older than her, so Tielle was considered the most famous genius in Lamijion, with talent and potential so high that only one person in the entire Mitra Kingdom was probably stronger.”
Vivian’s statement made Shane raise his eyebrows, his gaze also focused on Tielle.
“I didn’t expect this girl to be a renowned genius.”
Moreover, she was the strongest member of Vivian’s Team, and her level was actually as high as fifty-nine, something Shane hadn’t imagined.
What surprised Shane even more was that Tielle was the youngest in Vivian’s Team, and even Lu Muya, who clung to her as if she were a pillar, was a year older.
As for Merica, the Elf girl not mentioned, she was probably the oldest in Vivian’s Team, right?
After all, Shane remembered that an adventurer’s guild staff mentioned that Elves weren’t considered adults until they turned one hundred and fifty and could become Adventurers.
Thus, Tielle was, of course, the youngest in the team, yet also the strongest and most talented.
“Tielle also has another skill.”
Vivian spoke with an impressive tone.
“Look carefully, that skill is incredible.”
It was indeed incredible.
Because Shane had already seen Tielle using this skill.
Under the circumstances of its companions being continually slain, a Lizardman, being Tielle’s next target, seemed to become fearful, directly abandoning its longsword and instead raising the round shield equipped on its other hand to protect itself tightly.
Yet, facing a shield-bearing enemy, Tielle did not avoid it; instead, she accelerated and charged forward.
In her hand, one of the dual blades suddenly began to tremble.
A surge of magic power infused the blade, enveloping the blade edge and causing it to shimmer with a red glow.
Tielle coldly declared with a merciless voice.
As the blade flashed with a red glow, the Lizardman, along with its raised round shield, was cut in two.
Shane’s face once again showed an expression of surprise.
Vivian’s explanation quickly followed from the side.
“That is an advanced skill that should only have an extremely low chance of being acquired at Level 70—Magical Sword.”
“As the name suggests, it is a skill that adds magical attacks to one’s weapon. The higher the level, the stronger the power, and it can flexibly extend and change shape. Even at Level 1, the attack power is sufficient to cut through steel. Historically, there are stories of people splitting city walls or even the sea with a Magical Sword. It is the skill that all melee fighters dream of having.”
“There is a significant difference in status in the industry between those who have mastered this skill and those who have not, because high-level demons and even members of the Demon Clan often have high defense, making physical attacks very difficult to cause significant damage. The skill can deal effective damage even to Elemental demons that are completely immune to physical attacks or to demons without a solid form.”
“Tielle acquired this skill three months ago and has trained it to Level 2, which is another reason that makes her a renowned genius.”
Upon hearing this, Shane’s thoughts became active.
