This time, David chose to move the yellow Longsword Mastery (80% Proficiency) Knowledge Orb from the Shadow Servant’s body into his body. It was absorbed by his soul almost instantly.
Illusions began to appear before his eyes. It was a swordsmanship practitioner, whom he similarly could not control. He could only feel what the sword practitioner was feeling.
The sword practitioner was holding a longsword in his hand and practicing an ordinary set of basic longsword techniques, which David had also practiced before.
However, compared to that man, David was just a child. Although he was only at the 5%-Beginner level in Longsword Mastery, David could accept it easily.
It was different from learning other combat abilities. In the past, he had to learn abilities with no foundation.
David, who seemed to be enchanted, tried to feel the basic longsword technique practiced by that man. His Longsword Mastery increased from the 5% Beginner level.
After practicing the basic longsword technique, the man’s enemies became the Bugs and his moves became even more ferocious, menacing with their extreme killing power.
David had fused the Warhammer, Heavy-axe, Shield, and Sniper Knowledge Orbs. Apart from the Sniper Armorer, he still had not met any armorers that could kill a Class 1 Bug on his own.
However, the Longsword Armorer was constantly using his light and quick swordsmanship skills in battle to add more wounds to the body of the Hunter Mantis in front of him.
Although Hunter Mantises was relatively weak compared to the other Class 1 Bugs, they were still Class 1 Bugs at the end of the day and it usually took the cooperation of multiple Armorers to deal with a Class 1 Bug.
As the Hunter Mantis’ wounds increased, it became slower and slower. However, the Longsword Armorer was not in a hurry either, as he continued using his skills to deal with the Hunter Mantis.
The Longsword Armorer was like an old and experienced hunter, not showing any anxiety or fear. The longsword in his hand was like a gust of wind. Whenever it moved past the body of the Hunter Mantis, it would cause the bug to bleed green blood.
David got the relevant knowledge from the Longsword Armorer. Facing the Bugs, Longsword Armorers would forever only be able to retreat because the longsword was not a heavy weapon. Hence, it was unable to result in heavy damage while forcing the enemy to retreat.
In other words, when the longsword struck the Hunter Mantis, one would have to take into account the Hunter Mantis’ retaliation. However, the warhammer was different. As long as it was used to strike a Bug, it would definitely result in a retreating effect that was unique to heavy weapons, thus making the insects unable to immediately retaliate.
That was also the reason that the Longsword Armorer continuously wounded the Hunter Mantis without striking it in its weak spots. Rushing to attack before being sure about killing it without having the help of a companion would only put him in a dangerous situation.
In the end, the longsword stabbed the Hunter Mantis in its chest. At that moment, the Hunter Mantis’ green blood was almost all gone, every part of its shell damaged.
Next, the enemies of the Longsword Armorer turned into other Class 1 Bugs, the Longsword Armorer continuing to kill over a long period of time.
David clearly felt the growth of the Longsword Armorer. The Longsword Armorer often attacked alone and never joined forces with anyone. The Long Sword Armorer’s opponent also became individual armorers later on. Compared to fighting with Bugs, the process of fighting the other armorers was more like slaughtering.
During this period of time, the Longsword Armorer had gained an additional sword in his hand. He became a double-sworded armorer.
David opened his eyes, and as soon as he did, there was a harsh and menacing gaze in his eyes, just like that of the double-sworded armorer in his illusion.
Fortunately, David’s Mental Energy had reached 3.4 arbitrary units. The effects that he felt were thus suppressed.
He headed to the bedroom and picked up the scabbard. While he was holding it in his hand, he suddenly felt a telepathic feeling with his mind and soul.
Suppressing the urge to practice basic longsword techniques, he went to the underground gym with the scabbard in hand.
Standing in the center of the gym, he gently caressed the handle of the sword with his hand, the twin swords popping out of the scabbard as if they had come to life.
He casually tossed out the scabbard and caught the flying twin swords with both hands.
He felt like he was not practicing swordsmanship, but rather, he was being led into a dance by the twin swords themselves.
It was as if he and the twin swords were naturally compatible. The movement of the Level 2 longswords in his hands was sometimes light and rapid.
The set of basic swordsmanship techniques gave him just as strong a sense of enlightenment as the Stormy Warhammer Technique.
“Maybe Uncle Galen is wrong. I’m born to use the longsword!” David muttered to himself as he paused, looking at the twin swords he was holding.
Perhaps, it was sealed in his soul. He had heard plenty of stories about assassins and sword deities in the past, where longswords were symbols of culture.
David believed that his talent came from his own soul, not from his predecessor. At least in his memory, his predecessor did not have any outstanding talent when practicing the longsword. Otherwise he would not have mastered only 5% of the Beginner level.
Putting the longsword back into the scabbard, he had a feeling that he could use the Longsword to fight the enemies even though he had only practiced it once.
However, he would not change his plan. Fighting an actual armorer with a longsword was a worst-case scenario.
With his strength of 800-odd kilograms, an armorer with over 1,000 kilograms of strength would be able to suppress him completely. Besides, the armorers had an added advantage in speed.
Looking at Planet Kea in the sky, David was in high spirits. The mastermind would not be bothering him for a short period of time. This allowed him to leave home without worrying.
He went to bed rather late yesterday but woke up promptly at six in the morning. After practicing a set of the eighteen movements of Bodywork, he stood outside the front gate early to wait for Maron.
“David, you finally want to go out and play!” Maron exclaimed as he popped his head out of his Glaston VI car. He opened the side door with a smile.
“Maron, sorry to trouble you today!” David said as he got in the passenger’s seat of the car.
“David, what are you doing, being so formal? It’s just a small matter. Speaking of which, why are you so interested in the city wall? There’s no place to go in the morning and the nightclubs aren’t even open yet!” Maron remarked indifferently with a wave of his hand.
“Seriously, you’ve gone to the nightclubs before?” David asked in shock as he looked at Maron.
Planet Rocky was located in the dangerous area of Battlestar. Although it was less affected than others, danger existed everywhere, nonetheless.
In such an environment, business prospered in areas where people could let off some steam. Alcohol and lust were some of only a few important methods to relieve stress.
However, it was against the law to grant entry to minors. It was not just a slogan. Once found guilty, the guardian of the minor who had broken the law would be put behind bars. Hence, David was shocked to hear Maron’s words.
“No, I was just making a casual remark!” Maron answered embarrassedly after hearing David’s question. He felt awkward after being exposed for lying.
Come to think of it, it did make sense. He had to train for long periods of time everyday. Besides, even if he did not spare a thought for himself, he could not afford to harm his father, Mayor Bernard, who was an influential figure.
The Glaston VI was driven towards the edge of the city, and as they got closer to the edge, the buildings became increasingly dilapidated.
Unlike Lanca Street, where David lived, which was the safest area location in the middle of the city, this place was near the city walls. Although the Bugs would not be able to attack them there, it felt much less safe.
That was also precisely the reason that wealthy people didn’t choose to live there, with only those with lower incomes inhabiting it.
David couldn’t help but shake his head. Even in the age of the Star Federation, there was still a serious class hierarchy.
Even though it was the age of the Star Federation, there were very few people who could leave and go to another city. In order to do so, one would not only require a large number of credit points, but also a corresponding authority.
Without the appropriate authority and permission, ordinary people could only live in one city until they died of old age.
High school students who could not make it to university would end up suffering that same fate. Without any authority, they could only end up working in a certain field, marry someone who was of similar status, and bear some children.
“David, poverty is inevitable in the Star Federation, which has a population of trillions. Father has done his best to make some changes, but the vast majority of these people have lost their purpose in life. It’s hard to change them when they’re comfortable with the status quo!” Maron said emotionally, which was rather rare of him.
David smiled helplessly. He was just an ordinary man and did not have the power to help anyone else.
