Chapter 64: Flowing Methods, Powerful Twins
Athan looked at the description of the weapon.
[ Whipblade Vencera ]
-Lightning Attribute
-The whip's body is made of small blades and its handle was created from Jutang ore which can cover the hand with its material once squeezed to make gripping better.
-The whip can be extended up to 50 meters and you can inject lightning energy into it to increase its power and chance to paralyze the opponent hit by it.
Looking at the weapon, Athan thought, ' Hmmm...I don't think I'll be able to use it in battles right away. It looks like a difficult weapon to use, and I don't want to waste my time practicing such a weapon. '
He then looked at Tiana and said, " I won't be able to use this weapon in battles so I might as well just sell it now. "
Tiana nodded and said, " Yeah it looks like to use this weapon we need to practice but after opening page 3 of Point Shop and buying a Flowing Method we also have to spend time mastering it so we can't waste time on mastering a weapon now. "
Athan then pressed the [ Trade ] Button which was displayed under the Item's description.
[ Point Shop Price: 50 Points, Trade Price: 48 Points, Receivable Points: 40 ]
[ Whoever buys the item will pay 48 points but you will only receive 40 points, 8 points will be deducted. ]
Athan put the Weapon on sale and afterward, It was displayed on one of the big screens that were lit up in the sky.
He could also check the items up close in the private interface. But not even a few seconds later, a message appeared.
[ Your Weapon was successfully sold, 40 points Received. ]
Athan was surprised that it went well and fast, ' Someone must have mastered a whip-type weapon and must be looking to buy it. '
At this time, Tiana also spoke, " I think I'll sell my Weapon too, My spells are more powerful anyway, and it's important to practice a Flowing Method first which will make us even more powerful. "
Athan nodded with agreement and spoke, " Indeed, You should do that. "
Tiana then also pressed the [ Trade ] button under the description of her Weapon.
[ Point Shop Price: 62 Points, Trade Price: 60 Points, Receivable Points: 52 ]
...
The price of Railgun was high because it had straightforward uses and easier to use, It's direct damage output was very high for people who comprehended Intermediate Fire Intent and uses Fire energy.
But Tiana's spells were more powerful because she had Lightning Infernal Intent which granted her more powerful Lightning Infernal Energy.
After putting it up, Both of them choose to wait. Athan's points became 82 after selling the weapon so he started browsing the items on Page 3 of Point Shop.
On this Page, Athan found many new types of items like Flowing Methods and Spells that can go along with various Flowing Method.
[ Heavy Water Flowing Technique ]- ★
' Oh...It's good that we can see descriptions of the Flowing Techniques. '
[ Heavy Water Flowing Method ]
- Price: 50 points.
- Requires Water Attributed Constitution.
- By Flowing the Water energy inside your body according to this flowing method will make the flowing Water Energy gain more density and power which makes your spells more powerful and sturdy.
- Comes with two spells: Heavy Hammer Strike and Raging Flood.
- Beginner Stage, Advanced stage, Master Stage.
Note:- As with every Flowing Method and their spells, You must only practice them to Peak of Beginner Stage If you are in the Energy Plane as your unbaptized body will not be able to bear the Active Energy coursing through your body.
Just as he had finished reading the description, He heard Tiana's voice, " Athan, My Weapon is sold. I'll also begin to look for a suitable Flowing Method. "
" Sure, Look for a Flowing Method which is a combination of Lightning and Fire as it will increase your overall ability. "
He then continued to browse through the Flowing Methods.
[ Linear Flame Flowing Method ]- ★
[ Four Swings of Swirling Wind ]- ★★
...
As Athan was browsing through the things on Page 3, He came across an interesting Flowing Method.
[ Broken Impact Flowing Method ]
- Price: 100 Points
- Requirements: Any Attribute Constitution
- You can use any type of elemental energy in Active Energy Flowing State by using This Method. ( of course, You must possess the constitution of that attribute. )
- Any Active Energy Flowing inside your body by this Flowing Method will become concentrated.
- The longer it flows in the described pattern, The more impact it will produce when using spells but Your body will suffer internal injuries and exhaustion if you let any energy flow using this method for a long time, So find out your limit first.
- Spells that come with this method are Impact Shot, Impact Scatter, and Impact Point.
Note:- Very Dangerous Flowing Method, Only suggested to use for practice and not recommended for long-term uses.
Looking at this Flowing Method, Athan thought, ' I don't want to practice in just one Element and it says its good for practicing. I can practice all elements using this method for now and I'll buy a better one later. '
But looking at the price, He still needed 20 points more.
He then asked Tiana who was standing beside him while looking through the items on Page 3, " Have you found a suitable Flowing Method? "
Tiana nodded slowly and spoke with some helplessness, " I found one. It's called [ Flaming Snake's Lightning Rend method. ] But it cost 120 points and I only have 77 points, I still lack 43 points to buy it. "
" I also need 20 more points to buy the Flowing Method I choose so let's finish the dungeon [ Grotto of the Demon Ant ], and by chance, if we got any kind of Weapon or Pills we don't need from the White box, We can sell it and buy the Flowing Method. "
Tiana nodded in agreement as Athan started the dungeon [ Grotto of the Demon Ant ].
[ Matching...]
[ Matching Completed. ]
[ Squad ]
- Athan
- Tiana
- Renny
- Jenny
Afterward, The scenery changed in front of them as they arrived in a cave of sort which was completely filled with darkness.
*screeeeeeeeeee*
They heard a loud screaming voice that echoed everywhere, Making it difficult for them to pinpoint the exact location of the Demon Ant.
Athan conjured 4 fireballs that floated around them as they finally got a clear view of their surroundings.
The ground they stood on was around 30 meters in diameter and there were a lot of cave holes.
Tiana and the other two girls in the squad also cast fireballs and let them float around the cave holes by using their Mystic Energy.
One of the girls opened his mouth to say something but before that, Rumbling Sound could be heard from two of the caves, and two Demon Ants the size of 8 meters long and 3 meters tall came running towards them.
With pitch-black bodies and two brown horns on their heads, They came rumbling towards them.
Athan felt that he could easily solve these two Ants but he held back his hands while also signaling Tiana to do the same.
The other two girls who were part of the squad noticed the gesture of Athan and nodded to each other as both of them waved their hands and claw-like dark projectiles shot towards each Ant which literally shredded the two Ants into four pieces.
Athan and Tiana took a closer look at them and were startled to see that both of them had similar faces and hair colors except that one had long black hair while another had short bob hair with rounded edges.
After defeating the Ants, The girl with long hair spoke, " You both can just stand there and watch, Me and My sister can finish this dungeon ourselves. "
Tiana was going to say something but Athan stopped her and spoke with a smile, " Oh? Then thanks, We will just watch the show. "
He then turned his face Towards Tiana and said, " After watching them finish this dungeon, We can finish the Dual Mode ourselves. "
' Both of them are in Active Energy Flowing State and are also around 19 or 20, They must be from a good background. '
*screeeeeeeeeee*
Another sharp scream echoed from every cave hole as more rumbling sounds could be heard.
This time, four Ants came at the same time but the sister dealt with them the same spell. This pattern continued as after the next scream 8 Ants came rumbling towards them.
The sister's spell could defeat the ant with one claw projectile and it didn't really look like they needed having trouble conjuring them continuously as they also defeated the 8 Ants.
After watching their spells so many times, Athan was sure that the Dark energy they were using was very different from the dark energy he is familiar with.
After the 8 Ants were defeated, Both sisters started moving towards a Cave hole.
" Let's follow them. The Scream we hear every time seems to be from the main boss. "
After walking for 5 minutes in the cave hole, They reached another wide ground where a Giant Ant around the size of 50 meters long and 4 stories tall was spraying out green liquid spray in a wide range from its mouth.
The Ant looked weird as its head was fully green colored which had two dark horns and its dark body had giant green spots.
Athan summoned <Light barrier> which covered him and Tiana seeing the green spray coming towards them.
*????????????????????????...????????????????????????...????????????????????????*
Seeing that his Barrier was melting, Athan summoned Light and Dark Barriers on top of each other, The latter being on top of the former.
The two sisters were covered in dark furry armor which Athan felt was made from their unique Dark energy, They had wolf-like headgear and wolf-like claws.
The green liquid spray couldn't do anything to their armor as they started moving closer to the Ant.
Seeing them coming closer, The Ant jumped up and two of its legs separated from its body and shot at a high speed towards two sisters.
But their expression didn't change much as they powerfully waved their hands when the two legs came near them and broke them into two pieces with the dark claws which covered their hands.
They didn't waste their time as they shot claw projectiles towards the Ant who was still in the air, The claw projectile they shoot this time was far bigger and denser as they successfully managed to cut even this boss Ant into pieces.
Athan could feel that the sisters consumed a huge amount of energy in their Last attack but it was not a worrisome problem in this virtual world.
[ Congratulations! You have completed the Grotto of The Demon Ant Dungeon. ]
[ 5 Points to Athan, Tiana, Renny, and Jenny. ]
[ 1x White box to Athan, Tiana, Renny, and Jenny. ]
[ You have unlocked the option to play this dungeon in a dual-mode. If you can finish this Dungeon as Two people then you can earn additional 2 points. ]
After that, Athan and Tiana returned to the Dungeon Plaza.
" Those two sisters seemed to be practicing a Dark attribute Flowing method but I also feel like they had comprehended a unique type of Dark Intent just like my Lightning Inferno Intent. "
Athan nodded in agreement and changed the topic as he said, " Let's open the white box, If it's a useless thing for us or a weapon, We can sell it and finally start Practicing Flowing Method. "
