Chapter 77 - Weapon Of Choices

Jomel came into a room full of weapons, there's a Muscular werewolf and A 3 tailed fox in the room.

They looked at him when he came and smiled together and said.

"Welcome, please carefully choose your weapon, I'll take you to trial.."

They sound like a robot but Jomel didn't think so. Both of them are emanating pressure.

The pressure that is unique to Legendary Soul-Beast. Jomel just sighs, How many Legendary Soul-Beast he had met now..?

There's a lot, back to the mainland they are so rare but here they are even Organized that makes them all dangerous.

Plus, the demi-humans seem like they are working with them, could it be because they are both canines.

Jomel is not that interested to know so, His situation right now is different.

Truly, using his improved brain because of his constant use of precognition ability, he jumps to conclusions.

These guys are truly terrifying, humans thought Beast-Man and Soul-Beast are not connected but...

Here they are, seems like united as one.

Jomel is confident fighting one of them, but the two of them..?

That's wishful thinking, just by fighting the Black jackal earlier, he nearly died.

And if he fought these two, he'll be splattered in the ground.

Fortunately, it seems that these two didn't hate him. Since they seem so united, it is possible that they hate him for killing one of them.

So he followed suit.

Jomel followed suit to their, arrangement, they gave him an armor like a Mobile Suit of a Gund*m but smaller and made for humanoid-like him.

The design is beautiful, it has a fur of a feral beast, Black colored metallic suit, and a golden lining.

The shape of the head is like the Power r* waves of anger but much cooler and sharper.

Jomel proceeded to put it in.

...

...

...

He is now looking like a space warrior or what he believes so.

The duo was amused. After looking at the mirror he is very much satisfied with his look.

He can also remove the helmet like a car that can open his roof.

His head was now exposed, he is very much satisfied and then he looked at the two. He is not speaking but the two knew what he meant.

"Go open that metal door on your left side, there are weapons there of your choosing.."

Jomel opened the door, it looks very much like a wishing well but he didn't care.

KAKAKAK!

Jomel was exposed to futuristic weaponry that is inside, Jomel looks at the weapon seemingly amazed. But he is not salivating like a kid, who is surprised at everything.

He touched the gun, the axes and is trying to feel it.

But then he saw his ideal weapon.

The scythe, sword, and a combination of two: A sword scythe. The first one he touched is the scythe.

Jomel always liked the idea of scythes. Their connotation of death and reaping is always satisfying. But they're also a polearm, and that could make for some interesting martial feats.

But nearly every discussion he sees in his past life is that the claims they would be useless as a weapon, due to the poor length/area of cutting edge, inward-facing blade, etc.

Without moving the curved blade and/or its position unless it shifts back and forth.

That is only for the scythes he saw in the past but the scythe here looks promising. First, they have reduced its total length to 56 inches and increased its blade head side to 30 inches.

Next, they decided to add a bayonet-type thing to the other side of the head to allow stabbing and protect the shaft a little.

They also added a spearhead at the bottom of the shaft. To reduce the weight of the weapon a little they made the shaft out of a kind of fiberglass reinforced nylon which is lighter and more durable than wood.

Finally, they added a semi-sheath for the blunt side of the blade.

But jomel won't use this thing, despite having a cool appearance.

He would say that a good way would be to slightly change the makeup of the weapon more but leave it still recognizable as a scythe. One of the biggest problems with scythes as weapons is the fact that they've only edged on the inside of the blade and not the outside.

Jome looks at it more and inspected it thoroughly, he thought that they should make the blade a tad thicker and edge it on both sides of the blade.

Another thing is that the weapon is unwieldy and off-balance, so properly setting a center of gravity into the staff by some type of reinforcement would be necessary.

Adding some type of counterweight on the bottom of the blade could actually double as a clubbing device as well.

Last but not least, users need the proper fighting style, as a scythe is again very unwieldy the style of fighting would inevitably be very momentum-based.

Atad similar to a bots staff's fighting style, a lot of fancy footwork and twirling and spinning to build up momentum and keep their self protected, as well as enabling more than one attack in a single push, allowing them to twist the blade around into multiple strikes.

Jomel still prefers his Double sword, he is used to it during the past two years of his adventure.

He is not used to scything but if away from a scythe having a strong pole then the scythes can be used in combat.

It can be used for a lot of acrobatic moves due to the long arm and curved blade, having one side weighted makes it better for spinning in a way because the weight is distributed to one side, so the scythe can be spun blade or pole first.

One thing he knew is a lot of scythe users in shows or games favor aerial strikes or wide-swinging slashes in games or many more he experienced in the past.

It could be a weakness at the same time strength.

But jomel still prefers that is flexible.

So if he doesn't have a choice, he will take two swords.

His fighting style was used to equipping it so it is better to take it.

He was about to take it when he saw the sword scythe.

It looks scary as hell.

But well it looks like created only for symbolism but in a real fight, it would be too short and so easy to be destroyed.

Jomel stopped looking at the two-weapon.

His best weapon is still a dual sword.

He really is a complete dual sword wielder.
