The Sword and The Shadow

Chapter 155: The secret of the Wave Blade

Views:

Regnar was overjoyed. He didn't expect that Velez came here to teach him his unique skills. Although the power of this wave blade is mediocre, it is silent when used, which is better than the weirdness.

For an assassin, super destructive power and huge momentum are not necessary at all. In the eyes of a qualified assassin, power only needs to be just right. The most important thing is how to use the right amount of power in the right place.

For example, if a person wields a three-hundred-jin heavy hammer but fails to hit the enemy after hitting it for a long time, then it is in vain no matter how strong he is. And if a person holds a dagger weighing 300 grams, as long as he can accurately send the dagger into the enemy's heart or throat, then this very small force can exert the greatest effect.

Velez's wave blade follows this idea. His fighting skill does not consume particularly heavy fighting energy, and even the physical energy consumed by one strike is less than half of the air-piercing slash.

But in terms of threat, how could the mighty and clumsy Sky-Breaking Slash be compared to the silent and traceless Wave Blade of Velez? Such a physical-saving fighting method is just right for Regnar. His speed, explosive power and control are all top-notch, but his physical strength is an obvious shortcoming. For Kordak alone, if this strong man simply fights I'm afraid one of them is stronger than three Regnars in terms of physical strength. Even Vera is not much weaker than Regnar in terms of physical strength.

Therefore, Velez's wave blade can be said to be a fighting skill that is very suitable for Regnar, and even for all assassins, this fighting skill is very useful. After all, guys who are good at physical strength have become soldiers and can confront the enemy head-on without any scruples. Who would want to waste their physical strength to fight others

"Please teach me!" Regnar said sincerely. If he could master this fighting skill of Veles, it would be of great help to improve his strength. In this way, their trip to the Western Continent would be safer. It will inevitably improve a lot.

Villes nodded: "I have demonstrated it just now. This time, I will slow down all my movements a little more. Please pay attention and observe, and... don't accidentally get cut by me."

"Yes." Regnar nodded.

Villes took a few steps back, and his figure gradually disappeared into the darkness.

"Stealth?" Regnar thought to himself. The wave blade was silent and invisible. He also vaguely guessed that this fighting skill might be related to stealth. Now that he took a closer look, he found that it was indeed as expected.

Regnar looked around with Devouring Light in his hand. Verles's wave blade came silently. If he didn't want to get hurt, he had to be more vigilant.

It didn't take long for Velez's attack to float over. When the wave blade was used, the space would faintly fluctuate. Although it was dark, Regner still vaguely observed it.

He turned sideways to avoid the attack, then took a throwing knife from his thigh with his left hand and assumed a defensive posture again.

The spatial fluctuation of Veles struck again. This time Regner ducked his head like lightning to avoid it, and then threw out the flying knife in his hand while squatting down.

"Ding!" Velez's figure gradually emerged, with Regnar's flying knife between his left index and middle fingers.

"Very well done." Velez nodded with satisfaction again.

"I just speculated that this move might be for close combat, so I tried to throw the flying knife." Regnar bowed slightly.

"You guessed it, this is indeed a close combat skill." Velez admitted.

"But... teacher, how did you attack while in stealth state?" Regnar asked.

Assassins or thieves can rely on their precise control of fighting spirit to blend their bodies into the surrounding environment. It is different from the mage's invisibility technique. The mage's invisibility technique turns one's body and clothes into transparent, making them invisible to the naked eye. The effect is visible, but the assassin's stealth uses fighting spirit to simulate the surrounding environment for camouflage, making it look transparent. This is why darkness is the best environment for sneaking, because a pure black environment is the best to simulate.

Precisely because of the need to control extremely high levels of fighting spirit, the assassin did not dare to make any big moves while in stealth state, and was unable to attack. Because any big movement will break the fragile disguise simulated by Dou Qi. Therefore, Regnar was very puzzled as to how Veles could launch an attack while in stealth state without breaking the stealth state.

"Tell me what you think first." Villes said with a smile.

Regnar thought for a moment, and then asked Garona in his thoughts: "Teacher, what do you think?"

"I have some clues, but I also want to hear your opinion." Garona said. She was also a little curious about Regnar's insight.

"There are only some guesses, and I'm not sure if they are correct." Regnar was a little hesitant. After all, he was facing two powerful men from the Holy Realm. If he was wrong and said something wrong, it would be a big embarrassment.

"Go ahead, it's okay if you're wrong. After all, this is Villes' unique skill. It's unrealistic to force you to see the key at a glance." Garona encouraged.

Regnar thought for a while, then said to Villes and Garona at the same time: "I think this fighting skill may be related to the control of fighting spirit. Teacher, although your wave blade is not very powerful, it is silent when activated. Breathless, there is no way to do it without the ability to control Dou Qi extremely accurately. And this should be the key to launching this fighting skill in a stealth state."

"That's right." Garona and Villes said in unison.

Villes continued: "It's not easy to see this. Now you have a try, arouse fighting spirit to attack while in stealth state, while trying to maintain stealth state."

Regna nodded as he said. His enhanced stealth ability allowed him to easily blend into the dark environment. In this dark night with only moonlight, even Veles' perception of his disciple became blurred. stand up.

A few seconds later, Regnar's figure appeared not far from Villes. The moment he gathered fighting spirit on his long sword, his disguise lost his balance, and he was forced to leave the stealth state.

Regnar was stunned for a moment, and then found helplessly that he had failed.

"Yes, it's enough to be able to do this for the first time. It seems that you can master this fighting skill quickly. Then, you can try this again." Villes walked over with a smile, and then stood next to Regnar. He whispered a few words softly into his ear.

Regnar's eyes lit up, and he entered the stealth state again. A few seconds later, Regnar waved his sword again to break the stealth, and a strange scene happened. Regnar's figure became blurry again after being clear for a few seconds, and he seemed to have a vague tendency to disappear. However, Regnar obviously did not maintain it well, and he finally showed his figure.

"Failed..." Regnar said with some disappointment.

"Very successful!" Velez nodded with satisfaction again: "Although you have my theoretical guidance, even I have to admire your ability to understand. What I did when I first tried it was comparable. You’re not even close.”

"Teacher is so complimentary." Regnar lowered his head slightly.

"It is indeed the case." Garona also sighed in her heart: "Although the secret of this wave blade is somewhat worthless, but this stealth again, not everyone can do it. If you don't have the help of strengthening stealth, I’m afraid it will take several years or even decades to fully master this fighting skill.”

Sneak again, this is what Veles quietly told Regner just now, and it is also the biggest key to using the Wave Blade.

Villeless originally imagined a fighting method that could continuously attack the enemy in a stealth state. The requirement of this idea was to maximize the ability to control fighting spirit. However, after two years of hard training, Villes finally discovered in despair that no matter how hard he tried, he could not maintain his stealth state while attacking.

For this reason, he thought hard for more than half a year, and finally thought of a way to sneak again. Although the first stealth cannot be maintained permanently, why can't you enter stealth again after attacking? As soon as Villes had the idea, he put it into action.

Facts have also proven that it is much easier to sneak again than to maintain a stealth state permanently. At first, Villeless was unable to re-enter stealth after each attack; after a few years of practice, he was able to re-enter stealth within seconds after an attack; after a few more years of practice, he was able to do so with every attack. You can sneak again within a second.

Gradually, he developed his stealth speed to the extreme, so that his figure would no longer appear in the eyes of the enemy after each attack. Because his sneaking speed is so fast that the enemy can't even detect it!

Therefore, it's not like Verless didn't appear when he used the Wave Blade. He appeared, but no one saw it!

It turns out that this is the secret of the wave blade...

Villes told Regnar some tips on how to sneak into stealth again, and then he took out a thin notebook and a small bottle of potion from his arms and handed them to Regnar:

"I think you have absorbed the notebook I gave you more than two years ago. These are some of my deeper insights. Take it and study it more if you have time. It should be of great benefit. Oh yes. Yes, the detailed explanation of the wave blade technique is also there. As for this bottle of potion, it can also be regarded as a reward for you. I know that Kordak's werewolf blood will cause you a lot of inconvenience. This bottle of potion is mine. It was specially made by the alchemists in the guild. Although it cannot completely solve Kordak's academic problems, it can guarantee that he will no longer go crazy and become a werewolf within two years."

Regnar solemnly took the notebook and potion, and then sincerely thanked them.

Villes looked at his disciples, and then continued: "That book not only records some of my experiences, but also records some of my experiences and opinions in the Western Continent in the past few years. And this is also related to me. It’s about the second thing you told me.”
