Chapter 147: New style

“It’s so rare to hear you cursing, Alex,” Zhen said words that had been lingering on everyone except Dancing Shadow’s mind.

Their friend was like the honor student, always composed and clean. He didn’t like wasting time, and he respected everyone regardless of their marks. He even remained the same before the school’s worst delinquent, eventually turning her into his girlfriend.

But Alex also had his weak moments. His homies knew about them, yet Alex’s image of a good guy was so deeply rooted within them that they barely could stop themselves from voicing their opinion.

They were pretty interested in what had Alex read in his system. They knew that it was connected to his legendary class as no other class would give quests out of nowhere. The legendary guys were a unique breed on their own.

Alex also took another sword into his left hand. What in the world could have happened to force him to switch his style and look so infuriated?

“It’s a new style, right?” Josh asked.

Alex nodded.

“Before you find your flow, we will have to work two times more, then,” he smiled nicely, encouraging his friend.

No one had anything to say regarding Alex’s dual-wielding style. It was obvious at first glance that his strength would be weaker than before because it was a new and foreign style to him.

If Dancing Shadow weren’t so shy, she would’ve told him about it and asked him some questions.

But Alex had been so helpful in their dungeon conquest that no one questioned his sudden decision. More than anything, they were his friends, so they wanted to support their homie as much as they could.

Alex thanked them for their support, “I have a request to ask.”

“Sure thing, homie,” Tomo Homie replied with a grin.

Alex grinned too, “I have something called [Bone Swordsmanship]. It’s low grade, so I want to level it up fast.”

Zhen quickly connected the dots, “So you want us to expose the bones. Those orcs have tough skins, but we will be able to do it no problem!”

Josh nodded to reassure his friend, “Yes. Tomo and I can lower their physical defenses too. We can solely focus on exposing their bones. Even Pedro should melt through their flesh to reveal bones, right?”

Pedro squinted his eyes, “Maybe.”

“Thanks,” Alex smiled.

But then, Dancing Shadow whispered, “I can leave some traps too.”

Her class was more about offensive, but the lady also had a few traps to help with her quests. Those traps were what Alex’s party needed the most right now, so everyone turned their eyes to her, broadly smiling at her.

Dancing Shadow blushed and looked down with so much attention on her.

Alex also momentarily forgot about his seething feelings. He typed a private message to Tomo Homie through the game system.

[Alexander Deathwill: You should explain to her that we are glad for her help. Then, you should raise your voice a little and say, ‘Enough of your staring!’. Do it, or I will go to school with headphones on.]

[Tomo Homie: Who will listen to my rambling then?!]

Tomo Homie immediately went to the action, “Enough of your staring!” He then nearly choked on his saliva as he failed his task…

But it was not that bad as phrases worked in reverse too.

As Dancing Shadow smiled at him for his help, Tomo Homie explained, “Our boy needs help, and your traps will help us the most, so they were staring at you with thankful expressions. Except for Alex, they might look like weirdos, particularly Pedro! But they meant no harm!”

“Okay… Thank you, Tomo…” Dancing Shadow thanked with a faint but immensely adorable smile.

“Y-Yeah… No problem!”

Tomo Homie felt like someone clenched his heart. He blushed and stared at the lady who had been relying on and showing him a unique expression.

Everyone except Pedro had been grinning at Tomo.

Their fun stopped as they started slaughtering the orcs in a new formation as Dancing Shadow’s traps had added new means to fight!

BANG!

The orc with leather armor and sword fell onto his one knee. His foot sank into the ground as if someone planted magic here!

His equipment was in a pretty bloody state as blood trickled down from head to toe. He had many wide wounds opened on his tough body, which had revealed his bones.

He lifted his head, glaring at the human with two swords.

Alex stared back, ready to slash his enemy twice in one move. That was how he planned to move now that he wielded two swords.

‘Elias Deathwill… I understand why I got that page from the diary…’ Alex whispered before launching himself on the orc.

Although he moved awkwardly, Alex didn’t find any weird feelings by holding two swords. Even in the past, he wielded one sword with confidence, long before getting Elias Deathwill’s Swordsmanship.

Perhaps, one of the prerequisites to getting his legendary class was his talent for swordsmanship.

Alex couldn’t care less.

[-302 HP!]

[-127 HP!]

Alex’s swords drew something akin to ‘X’ on the orc’s chest. His damage was low, so he barely forced any blood out. The orc didn’t even close his eyes as Alex’s swords barely scratched him.

However, that was just so that he would see through his ‘normal’ damage.

As Alex was close to the orc, he promptly moved forth, shoving his swords into the opened wounds. It was the first time Alex had made that move, so he failed.

Nonetheless, he continued practicing his new style, eventually shattering the orcs’ bones.

‘I like fighting too… This dungeon was like the battlefield you were on in the past. There were so many of them, and I constantly kept fighting against them… Yes, it was so damn fun to wield a sword, fight and level up!

I enjoyed that! I might be born swordsman like you!’ Alex shouted inwardly.

And then, he faced another orc. This time, no trap restrained his enemy. He had wounds scattered across his body as Zhen and homies did their best to get to their bones.

Alex clashed with his two swords pressing on the orc’s giant mace, ‘But I have never been alone! My girls, my homies! From the start, I always had them by my side! Even your daughter had looked over me as I fought skeletons and their bosses for the first time! We just became friends back then, but I would dare to say that we were still strangers then!

You don’t deserve them! I will make sure to find you, though, Elias… I will force you to face your daughters and wives!’ Alex screamed inwardly.

As the orc proved to be quite strong and his battle style didn’t help him, Alex threw his swords into his inventory with just thought alone.

He then slid between the orc’s legs, appearing behind them.

He rose up to his feet immediately. Turning around, Alex summoned his swords again. They appeared around his hands. He grasped them while spinning, drawing blood from the orc’s back during that rotation.

And then, Alex continued cutting with two weapons, waving them quite awkwardly but still getting better at dual-wielding, ‘Elias… I no longer can trust you… I believed you were outside, trying to fix the Lost Kingdom’s darkness… I believe that you wanted to help your people, even after losing your level! I no longer can believe you…’

[You have killed the Orc and Mace Lv. 45]

[Your Bone Swordsmanship has advanced.]
