Chapter 876 - 876. Melee Combat Training
If Walker did not have the ability to sense the mana around him, then he wouldn't have noticed a shift in the wind elemental mana behind him. Shay had used the scale step to speed around him and appear ready to slash with her claws.
The only reaction Walker could make was to slash one of the twin blitz swords upward to parry the claws. He had been able to do this a few times with Gil's arrows but it was a tough time based skill to learn.
'The skill parry has been taken from the fencer system. The skill parry has been automatically learned.
Perry- 1 mana cost
The user focuses mana in to sword, short sword, saber, or similar weapon. This allows for a lighter and faster slash with the goal to deflect and block an attack from an opponent. This skill works very well with counter attack skills.'
It was a simple skill but Walker had no time to think about it. He proceeded to parry the sweeping claws that constantly attacked him. Shay was pushing her movements faster and faster. This would have been challenging if she wasn't forcing the rhythm of the dance faster as well. Walker transitioned in to the dance of rabid rabbit. His attacks started to become more aggressive and Shay found that she was actually being outpaced now.
Not only this, but when Walker would hop forward he would use the wind ripple skill to kick off the air and make a second step. This was the first time he had truly been using the wind ripple skill combined with his other movement skills. It was a nice combination and fit the style he had. But he was not making enough progress with the twin blitz swords.
In his uncontrolled state, Walker dropped the swords and pulled the large elemental hammer from his inventory. Earth elemental mana gathered instantly and he slammed down from a large leap. The attack may have missed but the ground shook under the pair.
When a large earth spike shot up it caused Sahy to jump back away from Walker. He met this additional space by dropping the hammer and pulling the nearly unused scythe from his inventory. Walker spun the scythe and sent a thrown blade from where he was toward Shay.
Surprising Walker completely, Shay blocked the attack with her body. She had done something similar to making her hands become tough claws in a partial shift. However, this time it was her scales on her arms. They became denser and sharper in a half second blocking the attack without even a scratch.
The scythe disappeared in to his inventory again and the throwing needles that had Walker had received from the extra pieces of Midnight's baby scales when Rodney Forged for the party some time ago appeared. Walker had never really used them but had remembered to coat them in the horned rabbits paralyzing poison. He had been holding them just in case but always had other skills he would use first or weapons he would use first. This was a chance to train with them and see how they would fit in to his style of melee combat.
His aim had been trained by his minimal experience with the bow and arrow. This made him better off aiming in the distracted moment that Shay was moving her arms from blocking the thrown blade Walker had sent at her before.
'The skill piercing needle has been taken from the grand assassin system. The user had learned the skill piercing needle.
Piercing needle- 1-5 mana cost
The user infuses throwing needles with their mana allowing them to pierce some of the heist defensive armors. The needle can pierce the defenses even if magical shields are used. This skill can be used for acupuncture and battle. This skill is only usable with throwing or acupuncture needles. It can be used with certain sewing or crafting needles if they are durable enough.'
The needles seemed to shout danger when they neared Shay. She dove to the side using her true speed instead of holding herself back, however, she was too late. One of the needles had slightly scrapped her scales and pierced through them enough to leave the smallest of paper cuts. "Poison!"
Shay knew immediately that poison had entered her system. It was the tiniest amount, but enough to feel her arm become less controlled. Dragons were normally resistant to poisons and environmental dangers. Unfortunately for Shay, dragonkin did not have this resistance. They were too far from the pure blood the dragons had.
When Walker stepped forward again a blade of earth formed in front of him and he dashed forward still following the confusing movements of the dance of the rabid rabbit skill. Shay had no choice during her recovery to use some of her real skills other than slashing and the scale step. Her kick shattered the earth blade in to pieces while her clenched fist began to hurtle toward Walker.
Illia saw this and breathed a soft mist on to the ground. It froze Shay and Walkers' feet in place. Shay knew this was Illia stopping the match but Walker was still caught up in the dance of the rabid rabbit. He saw it as another attack on him and used his grand elemental manipulation to melt the ice instantly. His hand held one of the small forging hammers spike down toward Shay.
Illia did not attempt to stop him again since she knew better than to interfere with a royals' will. Yet, as Walker slammed down a familiar earth dwelling shield flashed in to view. The bash from Walker caused Su to slide back slightly but he was completely stopped in place interrupting his movements and studding him slightly. Walker had been stopped and Su was standing panting heavily. The sparring matches were over.
