Virtual Sword God!

Bill went in fast and light with his two daggers in hand. Novis readied his chain blade and went to swing it at Bill but the blade got stuck in one of the trees. As Bill got closer, Novis had no choice but switch to a different weapon. Novis then switched to the spear and threw it directly at Bill running towards him to stop his advance.

With every decision, Bill couldn't help but praise his brother. Unfortunately for Novis, Bill was not an average player.

Bill jumped up in the air avoiding the spear ready to pounce down on Novis but Novis was ready and switched to the dual blades. As Bill came down with the daggers Novis held up his blades in response. To two clashed in mid-air. Bill then Jumped back a few steps, quickly moved in again. This time aiming for Novis's head.

But Novis had been training to avoid strikes with Arthur this whole time and Arthurs strikes were a lot faster than Bills. Novis ducked down and avoided the attack, he could now see Bills stomach wide open. Novis went to select his spear to stab Bill in the stomach. As Novis cast the skill though, nothing happened.

Bill then went to stab down on Novis's head, Novis managed to roll away. Novis was slightly confused why the spear hadn't come to his hand. Then when he looked around the forest, he could see his spear was still in the ground.

Bill cast Spin throw and three needles shot out of his Arm. Novis could see the needles this time and hit each one of the needles away. Bill wasn't expecting this, the needles were thin and small making it nearly impossible to block. With his chain sword stuck in the tree, he was sure Novis wouldn't have been able to block it.

His plan was to strike as soon as one of the needles made an impact. As Novis would flinch, he would finish him with the daggers. Now seeing that none were successful, Bill needed to retreat. He stepped back just enough to avoid the strike of the two short swords but what was coming at him wasn't a short sword, it was the long sword.

The long swords reach was longer and managed to slice bills face in half, causing a burst of blue particles to appear.

Bill wasn't used to a warrior that could switch weapons, he had calculated the distance between him and the short sword and didn't expect Novis to be able to use all four weapons so well. He was proud of his brother.

All though most would expect Novis to be over the moon with the result, he wasn't. He had an odd feeling about the game that he couldn't quite shake off. Almost as if he was upset with his performance.

Novis took of his VR headset and so did Bill. Although Bill originally took off his headset smiling, when he saw his brother's expression he quickly stopped.

Novis stood up and just walked back to his room without saying a word like his mind was focused on something.

"Did he find out already?" Bill thought to himself.

As Novis went back to his room he turned on his laptop and started re watching the game. Arthur was watching Novis watch the game over and over and couldn't help but think that Novis was growing fast. Without the need for him to say anything, Novis had already caught on to what his brother was trying to do.

Novis finally stopped watching the match and smiled.

"I guess I still have a lot to learn about the game."

"Did you figure it out?" Arthur asked.

Novis nodded. Bill was trying to teach Novis. The attack on the top tower forcing him to run through the forest. The fact that each warrior had different skills and was better fighting in different environments. His chain blade was practically useless with all the trees in the way.

If Bill could, he would have loved to start the game from scratch and made a smurf account to help his brother. Bill knew better than anyone thought that you couldn't learn to play the game that way. When the difference in level and experience is too big, the person just ends up relying on you and never learns anything themselves.contemporary romance

Bill thought the best way he could teach his brother was by playing against him. Although Bill didn't play in his usual way the one thing Bill didn't count on, was losing the fight. If Bill was to guess Novis fighting ability alone on Rank he would currently put him at Gold 1.

Novis was thinking about his warrior Heros puer. It was a unique warrior in the game that allowed you to switch weapons but this came with setbacks as well. Novis hadn't faced an opponent where he needed to use multiple weapons at one time before.

He didn't know all the rules for his warrior's albites. What happens when he isn't holding a weapon? Can he use more than one weapon at one time? Novis realised that he hadn't learnt anything to do with the game and was just relying on his pure fighting skills. His brother had shown him how someone's knowledge in the game could bridge that gap.

If Novis wanted to get better and stronger at the game, he couldn't just be good at fighting he also needed to learn the game.

Novis went into his capsule and started another match straight away.

He didn't care this time about winning or losing. All he wanted to do now was improve himself. After playing five more games he ended up winning two and losing three. But Novis didn't care about the result.

For in those five games he had gained a vast amount of knowledge. In one of the matches, Novis threw his spear towards his enemy. The other warrior avoided the spear and it stayed stuck in the ground. Novis then selected his chain blade and tried to switch back to the spear. The system simply wouldn't allow it.

What he found out was if holding another weapon and he touched another weapon that was his, It would then burst into blue particles. only then could he switch back to that weapon again.

This also meant, he couldn't hold more than two weapons at once. He wouldn't be able to hold a spear in one hand and a long sword in the other.

If he was holding the spear and selected to change to the longsword it would just disappear.

In the next match, Novis tried using these in combination, he managed to trap a warrior similar to how he had trapped Mac with the chain sword. Then changed to his spear and threw it directly at the man's shoulder. Finally changing to his long sword and lobbing the man's head off.

His experiment was a success, as long as He didn't touch any of his weapons while they were out they wouldn't burst and disappear.

Novis felt a lot more confident in his skills and knowledge of the warrior. He wanted to test it out on a few one on one battles. Then a thought came to him, there was a place where you could do that. You didn't play online so it didn't matter what Rank you were.

Novis thought it was finally time for him to head back to the VSW internet café again.
