Abe the Wizard

Abel was having quite a thrill. He felt like he was in full control of the battle with his sight and analysis fully unleashed. Even in the dark world, he would rarely have the chance to run into enemies with the same head commander rank.

“20, 21,22…” Abel mumbled to himself as he coordinated his knight sword and shield. No skeleton could escape their fate as soon as the second strike landed.

This battle gave Abel a new perception of sword skills. Every strike of a knight was built up by countless years of human battle experience. It was exclusive to humans.

These knight techniques were perfectly built for the human body, and they had slowly taken their shape. These techniques had not been changed for at least 1000 years.

Ever since Abel had gotten his sight and data analysing ability to attack, he had not fought with a same rank enemy for this long.

Also with his mana and combat qi suppressed, he could only rely on his sword skills to kill those skeletons—perfect time for practice.

He always thought striking his enemy in the most vulnerable spot was the result of his sight and data analysing ability, not the knight skills. However as he kept attacking, he realised one thing.

The sword techniques of a knight were also trying to aim at those vulnerability spots, which saved Abel a lot of effort as he relied more and more on it.

Every component, from his sword and shield, wrist coordination, body movement, to his execution, was done perfectly to achieve maximum power with minimum effort.

Abel always thought his sword and shield technique was quite good. Due to the’ soul potion’, he could grasp knight techniques much faster than any normal knights—especially his favorite sword and shield technique.

Slowly, he forgot that he was still fighting in the sea of bones, and his sight and data analysing ability had also slowly drifted away. The only thing that was in his mind was how to kill those skeletons more efficiently.

There were still 4 skeletons by his side. Suddenly he took a big sift on his combat style. He was no longer trying to find their vulnerable spot and unleash a life taking blow.

He had subconsciously turned off his sight and data analyzing ability. He was fully relying on the knight skills to fight those skeletons.

As a head commander without combat qi, the only difference between Abel and those skeletons was that they were enchanted by death qi.

He had entered a strange state of consciousness. The only thing in his mind was to keep unleashing the sword and shield technique. It was a type of enlightenment yearned by countless knights.

The skills of knights were developed through the persistence of training everyday as well as battles. At last they would reach a pinnacle in their rank, but this was not the real pinnacle of knight skills.

There was a legend among knights. When a knight had grasped a technique flawlessly, they would enter a state of enlightenment when their confidence reached a maximum level. This state could push a knight technique to a whole new level.

A while ago Abel had effortlessly killed a head commander in Miracle City with a lightweight, long sword. Although many were shocked, they did not doubt him. This was the reason why.

They thought Abel had elevated his knight technique to a whole new level. The rank of a knight does not matter. There were quite a lot of extremely gifted knights in history who had elevated their knight skill to a whole new level from a young age.

Abel kept striking his knight sword towards the skeletons. Every move was perfectly executed. Those skeletons could only block instinctively, but all Abel needed to do was gently twist his wrist so his knight sword could penetrate the skeleton’s block.

When the skeletons blocked, it would just further increase the momentum of Abel’s sword. This was still purely a knight technique, but their death was inevitable.

The sword penetrated the spin of the skeleton and the skeleton had immediately turned into a pile of scattered bones. Afterwards, Abel did not even waste the rebound force. He did a turn, and this force was added on to his body as he unleashed a horizontal strike towards another skeleton.

This second skeleton dash towards Abel. It jumped up in mid-air and reached its hand forward to grab. However with that turn, Abel perfectly avoided the grab and his knight sword followed. The skeleton was sliced into two in mid-air.

The 3rd skeleton arrived just in time. He kept the momentum going and lashed out with his shield. The shield slammed towards the 3rd skeleton. Although it did not kill it immediately, it had blast it outward and smashed onto the last skeleton.

Abel took this opportunity and unleashed a horizontal slash with his turning momentum. The slashed simultaneously landed on the spine of those 2 skeletons who had just smashed into each other.

Their spine was chopped into two. “Waaaa!” They immediately turned into a pile of scattered bones.

Abel’s fighting style had taken a new shape. In the past his combat style had relied on brutal strikes and powerful force, while blocking with the shield.

Now his combat style had turned into a recycle of energy. He had taken advantage of the different types of force in the battle and turned it into momentum for his attacks, which ultimately saved him a lot of effort.

He had a feeling that if he could perfectly grasp this combat style, he could basically fight for a long time without using much effort.

Abel was very lucky. He had reached this state all because his confidence had been maximised with his sight and data analysing ability. This then allowed him to spot the flaws in his knight technique, thus pushing it to a whole new level.

This state of enlightenment had become his biggest reward of this ceremony. His knight skills had taken a crucial step forward.

Abel kept stepping forward even without enemies. He was still buried deep in his enlightenment. This state had stripped him off all his emotions, all he knew how to do was keep developing the new technique he had just grasped.

After another 10 meters, another 30 skeletons stood up from the sea of bones. These skeletons were different from the previous ones. Although they were head commanders level, they had a weapon in their hand, such as a bone sword or bone spear.

This time Abel did not wait for the skeletons to come to him. He did what a normal knight would do. Dash forward on his mount wolf.

With a shield on the left and sword on the right. After he unleashed his first strike, he began spinning with his body. The moment began to build, and the power of his knight sword and shield were strengthened with each slash and smash.

At first Abel, still needed to add some more force on each new strike, but as he spun after and faster, the force of the momentum had far exceeded the power his body could make.

All he needed to do was keep this momentum going through this perfect knight technique. Then he would be able to stop this moment from hurting himself while unleashing a life taking blow at a skeleton in the perfect moment.

This technique kept perfecting itself. What power a knight technique could achieve this breakthrough? When a knight technique had reached this level, some knights had gotten the ability to concentrate every single force on their body with each strike, while some had achieved the strongest defence method. Some could also turn their strike in to an extremely speedy stab that no enemy could avoid.

These ability were all depicted in history, but one thing was sure, any technique could dramatically increase the fighting ability of a knight when it reached this level.

Abel had gotten used to fighting mass attacks. He could fight for a long time without using much effort.
