ACT 7 Using the Divine Skill

[TL]Ive been using bayonet as Breads weapon since thats what all the translation sites and dictionaries gave me. However that didnt really make sense to me especially considering this chapter. So I split up the korean and it translated more into greatsword, so that is what I will be using as his weapon from now it. If you want to have an idea of what it looks like then check out these

Kwang, kwang, kwang!

The noises rang out on the previously quiet mountain ridge.The earth shook like there was an earthquake coming and there was a dense cloud of dust.Then everything suddenly seemed to stop.The deafening roar quieted as the dust storm slowly settled down.The only thing moving quietly was the dust floating in the air. After a while!

Dark Blade!

The dust was split in half by a sword enveloped in flames.Then the dust exploded and scattered as a greatsworddescended from the other direction.

Earth storm!

When the greatswordcollided with the sword, a storm occurred once again.The form of two people could been seen through the storm. The one holding the flaming sword was Ark.Opposite Ark was the distinctive form of a huge person.The man wearing animal leather was obviously Bread.

Take this!

Bread ran up and brandished his greatsword.

Buuuuong!

The dust on the ground was sucked up at a tremendous speed and started twisting.Ark fell down to avoid being hit by the greatsword.He rolled his body to another spot and sprang up before swinging his sword at Bread.However, Breads reflexes also werent inferior to Arks.Bread moved his greatswordto a diagonal angle to deflect the attack before striking downwards.

Huh?

It was a really unexpected attack.Ark took a quick breath and stepped back but the greatswordhad already grazed his shoulder.He instantly lost 400 health from the attack.Just a graze had seriously wounded him!However he couldnt hesitate in this situation.In the short time Ark had stopped moving, Bread had pushed forward and continuously wielded his greatsword.Ark stumbled and the greatswordbarely missed his nose.Bread murmured as the greatsworddescended into an empty space.

Damn, I really thought I would cut you this time.

Huk, do you think Im that easy to kill?

Ark laughed and replied but he was inwardly sweating.

Damn, he interrupted it and counterattacked? If it had hit correctly then he wouldve received a critical hit.As expected, he really has troublesome power.Not only are the skills great but he is also familiar in a fight.No, not just a fight

Ark used Dark Dance to avoid the attack and observed Breads movements.Ark had been astonished by Breads weapon when he first saw it.Bread used a two handed greatsword. It was similar to Arks Promised Sword but much larger.The greatsword was the largest of the two handed swords.Of course its attack power and durability were among the strongest.When compared to an average long sword, it had an average of 1.8 times more damage.In addition, it automatically dealt 1.5 additional damage to large monsters.But despite its enormous damage, there were few people who used the greatsword in New World.There were a number of reasons but the largest penalty was that the size and weight meant the attack speed was extremely slow.

But this guy

When in close combat, there was no difference between the number of times Ark attacked.

How can he attack so quickly when carrying a greatsword? Did he increase attack speed with his other equipment?

He had thought this at first.But he still wasnt convinced.After exchanging a few blows, Ark realized that it wasnt that simple.

There is no waste!

Yes, Bread didnt waste any of his movements.He avoided the opponents attack and then struck back.It was a very simple movement but difficult to do in the middle of battle.Only people accustomed to holding a sword were able to perform such movements.It required being accustomed to the body in order to change movements.Yes, that was the secret to Breads attack speed.Breads movements were similar to a machine.There was no rush whenever he stabbed.While attacking and defending, he minimized any unnecessary movements and counterattacked.It was some tight movements! Even though he was holding the greatsword, he could match Arks movements.

He can also utilize his class skills.

Breads profession was a Beast Master.The feature of a Beast Master was to stack up to 3 Beast Spirit Possessions.As soon as the battle started, Bread instantly chose three animal spirits to possess him.He chose the soul of the bear which raised strength by 50% and the cheetah soul which raised agility by 50%. That was only two Beast Spirit Possessions.He had seen Bread use them on the ferry and in Bosaga village.Ark hadnt understood at the time

Beast Spirit Possession, power of the Bull rise! Dash!

Ark instantly used Dark Dance as Bread yelled.Then Bread grew horns on his head and shot forward like an arrow.Ark used Skill Penetration and the information window floated in front of him.
