Dual Wielding

“Listen up!”

Black’s voice, clear and serious, cut through the surrounding chaos.

“Leon, Land, and the rest of the students who can fight, you’re responsible for clearing out the draconic creatures that have been drawn here from the periphery!”

“There are many of them, but their levels are low. With your strength, you’re more than capable of handling them!”

Hearing this, Leon frowned, not entirely agreeing with the plan.

“What about the Phantom Dragon and these controlled students?”

“Leave them to me and Kristine.”

Black said with unwavering resolve.

“Kristine, your mission isn’t to fight directly, but to use all your support spells to cast buffs on me!”

The moment this plan was proposed, it was met with opposition from almost everyone.

“No way! Black, it’s too dangerous for you to face the Phantom Dragon alone!”

Kristine was the first to cry out, her pretty face filled with worry.

“Cousin, there are so many controlled students, and that dragon’s level is so high!”

Brenna also tried to dissuade him anxiously.

Land, too, showed his disapproval and spoke up.

“Black, you’re only a one-star Dragon-Slaying Guard. We are of a higher rank. It should be us who deal with the Phantom Dragon!”

“Even if we’re assigning roles, we should be the ones to do it!”

Seeing this, Black stabbed his long spear into the ground and faced everyone directly.

“I am the strongest one here!”

Black’s tone held an unquestionable decisiveness.

“Moreover, I’m the fastest, and I understand the Phantom Dragon the best. It won’t be able to control me so easily.”

“If you go up there and get controlled, it will only add unnecessary trouble.”

Leon and Land opened their mouths.

They thought of Black’s formidable performance in defeating the Level 45 Ivo alone just moments ago, and then compared it to their own strength.

In the end, they swallowed the words of opposition.

They had to admit, what Black said was the truth.

Brenna looked at her cousin’s determined gaze.

Although her heart was filled with worry, she ultimately chose to trust him and nodded heavily.

Kristine was about to say something, but Black interrupted her.

“Kristine, I need you.”

In the young man’s eyes was absolute, unconditional trust.

She could only press her red lips together tightly and nod.

And so, under Black’s insistence.

Everyone chose to obey.

The battle roles were immediately clarified!

Leon, Land, and the others drew their swords and turned to face the various draconic creatures surrounding them from the sides and rear.

The glint of blades and the roars of dragons instantly intertwined.

Black and Kristine stood, facing the Phantom Dragon and its puppet army in the core area.

“Kristine.”

Before taking action, Black gave her a particularly serious instruction.

“Remember, no matter how critical the situation gets, you must not approach me or the Phantom Dragon until I give the signal!”

“Trust me!”

Although Kristine didn’t understand why Black was emphasizing this point so much.

Seeing his incredibly solemn gaze, she still nodded forcefully.

“Okay!”

“Now, give me your strongest all-attribute buff!”

Black drew the Overlord Spear and said slowly.

Kristine hesitated slightly.

She was now a Level 51 High-Tier Priest.

Her strongest all-attribute buff was the High-Tier Priest Oracle: Sacred Brilliance Resonance.

“But…”

“The High-Tier Priest Oracle, Sacred Brilliance Resonance, provides a huge boost to the target, but that power is very easy to lose control of. It could accidentally injure these puppeted new students.”

“Get a grip, Kristine!”

For the first time, Black interrupted her in a stern and reprimanding tone.

“If you keep hesitating, more and more people will get hurt! Or even die!”

This reprimand was like a sharp blow, making Kristine’s delicate body tremble.

She looked at the new students with their vacant eyes.

Then she looked at Black’s resolute back and understood that her own indecisiveness was the greatest danger.

“I’m sorry…”

“I understand!”

Kristine’s eyes hardened, and she no longer hesitated.

She formed hand seals in front of her chest and chanted a distant, sacred incantation.

A vast power of light magic surged from her body.

A warm, sun-like brilliance enveloped Black!

High-Tier Priest Oracle: Sacred Brilliance Resonance!

Strength, speed, reaction, spiritual power recovery, magical power…

A sense of all-around attribute enhancement filled Black’s entire body.

He felt that his condition had never been better; every cell in his body was cheering!

His speed, which had already soared in the Flow state, was now further enhanced by this oracle. Later, he would stack Autumn Wind’s Three Folds on top of that.

With this, he was confident that the Phantom Dragon wouldn’t be able to touch him.

After taking a deep breath, Black made a move that shocked everyone.

He stabbed the Overlord Spear into the ground beside him with a clang.

He then drew his three-star quality Shadow Sword.

At the same time, he shouted to Leon, who was fighting a fire-breathing dragon.

“Leon! Let me borrow your Shadow Sword!”

Although Leon didn’t understand, he quickly threw his spare Shadow Sword over.

Black caught the sword.

He slowly walked towards the Phantom Dragon and its puppets.

To everyone’s confusion, he didn’t even unsheathe the two swords.

He simply held the sheathed swords and assumed a battle stance.

“Cousin… what on earth is he trying to do?”

Brenna cast an ice spell, freezing several dragons.

She watched Black’s strange actions with a dazed expression.

Kristine didn’t understand either.

She knew that Black was proficient in many of the Swordsman class’s skills.

But for him to specifically wield two swords, she couldn’t quite figure it out.

“Hiss hiss!”

At that moment, the group of puppeted new students, under the Phantom Dragon’s command, surged towards the lone Black!

Although they were puppets, their combat abilities were fully preserved.

All sorts of swords, blades, and staves were brandished!

Black slowly closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he had already entered the Flow state.

Everything around him seemed to slow down.

The movements and weaknesses of the puppet students were all clear in his eyes.

He had practiced countless times in the game on how to deal with groups of hostile units.

Black shouted in a low voice!

“Moonshadow Enchantment!”

Silver-blue ripples of magical power blossomed from his palms, quickly winding around the sheaths of the two Shadow Swords.

Moon-like energy flowed along the blades, creating two dreamlike trails of light.

Immediately after, another skill name was clearly spoken by him.

“Dual Wielding!”

His originally steady stance transformed into an offensive opening, his twin swords crossed in front of him.

The magical light vibrated intensely, emitting a low hum.

Leon, who had just repelled a fire-breathing dragon with a single slash, suddenly turned his head upon hearing this name.

“What?! Dual Wielding?!”

As if he had thought of something, a look of realization appeared on his face.

“I see! I get it now!”

“No wonder he’s not using the Overlord Spear, but two sheathed Shadow Swords instead!”

Dual Wielding, one of the Swordsman’s Mid-Tier skills.

Known for its extremely high combo frequency and attack speed.
