Although I have seen many seniors with pets or beasts this is the first time I am taking minions myself. They had no costume just sheaths for their daggers, a girl in my classroom asked "you could make them where something you know, it is creepy."
I didn't reply at first but used inspect skill first,
NAME – Kira Bloodvein
CLASS – Sanguine Hydroflame warlock.
ATTRIBUTES – BLOOD, FIRE, WATER AND DARK.
I replied after seeing that "It is not that I don't want to I didn't have time". The minions helped in small things. I channelled death mana in scythe art and practiced for few weeks, Dark mana pathway was completed then I mastered spells and rituals for dark mana.
Then I selected a new art for scythe,
Stage 3 art – Spectral Scythe Art
This art contains 3 forms namely,
Grim Cut: A precise and lethal cuts that targets the opponent's vital areas continuously like a dance of death. This form is executed with cold, calculated precision.
Vanishing Slash: A slash that appears to come from nowhere, as if the scythe itself vanished momentarily.
Sickle Sweep: A broad, sweeping motion with the scythe that clears a path through multiple enemies. This form is both offensive and defensive, keeping foes at bay.
I still used the basic phantom step without moving to higher arts in movement. I started practicing it for a while I was practicing the first form of Spectral Scythe Art which is the Grim Cut.
I approached the target dummy and attacked it in a slow pace to understand its movements and I increased the speed slowly, to reach Practitioner stage this grim cut should be done 10000 times. It did it exactly as it said the progress isn't much.
Even after a week I was able to do the full movement with full speed I opened the proficiency panel to see my progress.
Stage 3 art – Spectral Scythe Art[10/100]
[HINT: GRIM CUT IS A SEQUENCE OF MOVES TRY PRACTICING WHILE LISTENING TO MUSIC.]
I accepted the hint a bought my new phone I downloaded many music I trained with each finally I choose one went with its flow.
A week went by a reached MID- Apprentice stage, I saw next stage Practitioner in order to reach that I must train the form for 10000 times. I decided to split it I practised the first form for an hour and second form after that the second form is Vanishing Slash.
After learning about this form I realised it isn't fully vanishing but a mix of blending in shadows and moving in/out of your opponent field of vision.
I practised the move with others I had trouble with understanding the opponents field of vision and blind spots. After I got the hands on it, I even I got some ideas of combining with the first form.
It has been 2 weeks practicing with both Kira and Blake, we became good sparring partners, we even planned go to the first dungeon together.
Kira is good with dual daggers her art was Shadow Embrace Art, I spared using Spectral Scythe Art and mastered first 2 forms to Practitioner level. I focused on the 3 form the Sickle Sweep.
I swung the scythe on a target with a full sweep slowly to understand the flow, then I slowly incorporated defensive postures and offensive thrust and cuts which continued for weeks. During this time a completed fire mana pathway.
I choose to learn 3 spells and 3 rituals for fire attribute.
SPELLS:
Mini fireball: Summon a mini fire ball.
Heat wave: Spread a heat wave around you for a radius of 2 meters, for warmth or to resist against cold for a minute.
Smoke Screen: Use fire magic to create a smoke screen.
RITUALS:
Warm Charm: Activating the charm will provide warmth for 30 minutes. Explosion charm: Create a small explosion for a radius of 2 metres.
Heat sensing charm: Allows to see heat signatures for a minute, within a radius of 10 metres.
I worked on these spells and rituals until they are mastered completely, it has been around seven months after my transmigration. I am confident I can reach stage 2 within 1 ½ months. Then I can start raiding my first dungeon.
