Chapter 88 - 88. Two Swords



After a few hours Mack opened his eyes and a headache came to salute him.

"Ahhh my head"

Putting his hands on his face, he felt the pain increase a bit.

"Hey old man, did you hit me?"

[That is for you to learn how to properly respect your ancestors]

~sigh~

Mack could not bother himself arguing with him. That old man was crazy.

[Are you done crying?]

"Yeah Yeah"

Said Mack, looking around to see where he was. .

The place seemed a penthouse in one of those fancy hotels that Mack saw on tv dramas when young.

Looking to his right, Mack even saw a pool made of glass that spanned a few meters.

[Lets go, I have something to teach you]

"You? Why?"

[Because I\'m bored, and seeing you with two swords and not having a clue how to use them makes me want to cry every single moment]

"So, you are going to teach me how to use two swords? And why the heck you keep talking on my head, I can see you right in front of me!"

[Do you know how many years has been since I don\'t talk those languages from Earth? And they changed a lot! Using the mental link is easier for me]

"Ok then, but why help me with two swords?"

[Think of this as my personal compensation for the punch]

Said Harlack spouting the first thing that came to his mind, but the true was, seeing a warlock with two swords gave him agony at each second, warlocks never used two swords, simply because it was not effective, using daggers and a sword was proved to be more easy and practical along the years.

"So, where we going to train? this place seems small."

[Here, if you destroy anything, I will stop teaching you. If you can\'t control your own body, why try to control a sword? Let alone two]

"Makes sense, I ...."

[Enough of talking, two swords.... god have mercy of this poor soul, lets see...]

Said Harlack, trying to remember the only fight style that worked with swords of same size.

[The most effective way to use two swords is what they call the harassing fight style, you need to focus in keep the enemy always busy defending and not let them counter attack, because while holding a sword with only one hand you will not be able to defend properly, so is better to ignore defense completely and focus on attacking]

"Ok, keep attacking and ignore defense."

[But warlocks can use their Essence Manipulation Arts along with that, and you can\'t. You need to touch your hands to activate what you call runespells, thus stopping the attack with swords.]

"Yes, that was a problem for me even with one sword, with two will be even more troublesome to coordinate this during a fight"

[Kid, you seem to not understand, if you fight someone the same level of you or higher, by the time you try to do it, you will see your own head flying]

"So.... I need to stop using runespells in fights?"

Mack pondered what to do and could not find an easy way out.

[You need to choose, at each fight, if you will start with swords or runespells, or you need to have them as passive skills like you did with the scan]

"Right..... If I have the time before the fight start I can activate the domain, or the flashbang, and then engage with swords, but not the opposite. Or I will need to create space to be able to activate them."

[Yes, that would be the most effective for you]

"Thanks for the heads up"

[Before we go to the sword style itself, you need to remember that you still are a dagger user, use them to finish off less strong enemies, or to create space for you at the start of a fight]

"Yes, I will remember that."

Most of those things seemed simple, but Mack would only realise them when fighting other opponents at the same level, and that could cost his life.

[Now, grab your two swords and try to hit this statue here, but don\'t hit it. Just close to it, I will explain why, later.]

Mack grabbed one sword, and then the other almost fell from his hand. It was too troublesome to remove them from the belt with one hand.

[Geez, you can\'t even take them out properly]

Mack looked at his ancestor but said nothing, because indeed, the situation seemed comical for someone that already knew how to use a sword.

~sigh~

[Here, take it]

Said Harlack, throwing two metal objects to Mack.

Mack almost let the swords fall again, but catch it.

"What is this?"

[Attach to your belt, they are similar to magnetic clips. Once the sword is put in contact it will hold it there. To release, press your thumb on that small button]

Mack put one on each side of his belt and them put the swords in contact as the old man said.

[Try to release them]

Mack moved his two hands at the same time and pressed his thumbs over the button while holding the handle of the sword.

All seemed very natural now and not cumbersome as before and the moment Mack touched the buttons he was already striking the statue in front of him.

[Much better]

"Thanks again. I would never think of something like this."

[That\'s natural. You never had to use two swords. Let alone two of the same size. Now try to hit the statue a few times the way you think is better.]

Mack slashed from the right and then from the left and then slashed both at the same time, and repeated the same a few times.

Every time stopping the sword a few inches from the statue.

[Now, do you see how lame it is?]

"Indeed, I\'m open to attacks all time, and if I try to defend, I can\'t do it properly, and the attacks don\'t have my full strength. The only advantage is the frequency of the attacks. Not the speed but the frequency."

[Very good. It seems you have a brain. All what you said is correct. Now let me teach you how to properly use two swords]
