"Now the second most important thing to do," I muttered to myself as I scrolled down through my contacts list.
I'm currently heading toward my apartment after I left the cafe.
The deal I made with Isabella went better than I thought of course she is going to ask her father's permission since those matters of life and death after all.
I only met Dereack Evergreen once but I can't tell from one meeting that he is a very big daughter con, so if something wrong happened to his older daughter he would be killed right on the spot.
But I know that nothing wrong will happen. So there is no need to worry about that.
What I should worry about is my potion. I need a potion very urgently!
At Silva City, I had almost used most of the potion and I'm sure need more potion that's why I'm currently contacting Isla, my potion maker salve!
"Ah, Here found it," I said as I found the contact of Isla and called her.
-Ring, -Ring, -Ring! -Click!
-Hello?
"Ah, Hello it's me?"
-Who?
"Me, Lucas."
-Ah, Sorry I forgot about your existence.
'This bit-' I stop myself before I curse her.
-So what do you want?
Ignoring Isla's casual rudeness, I continued, "I need a batch of potions, Isla. Urgently."
She scoffed on the other end of the line,
-Urgently, huh? Do you think I just sit around brewing potions for your convenience?
Immediately I felt my mind turn blank as a flood of information rushed into my mind.
I felt like my head going to split in two but I managed to held in the pain and endured it.
By the time I managed to sort out all of the information inside of my brain I was gasping for breath.
Anyway the hardest part is done now let's see my new sword art.
====Status===
Sword Art :- [Grade 3:- Phalanx Guardian Form] Phalanx Guardian Form allows the user to create an impenetrable barrier with their sword, capable of withstanding powerful attacks. The defensive stance provides enhanced protection against both physical and magical assaults, making it a formidable choice for those prioritizing defence in combat.
First Defence Movement:- The first level,Phalanx Guardian Form, created a ring in the air that acted as a shield. How strong its defense was depended on the degree of mastery of the sword art. ]
"That's it? I thought there would be more defence sword move but I guess this is it." I muttered to myself as I read the information of [Phalanx Guardian Form].
Unlike the [Celestial Perry] which had 4 move, [Phalanx Guardian Form] had only one move.
With the freshly acquired [Phalanx Guardian Form], I couldn't help but feel a tinge of disappointment at the limited defence capabilities. However, recognizing the utility of a potent defensive stance, especially in critical moments, I decided to delve into its intricacies.
I stood in the center of my apartment, mentally rehearsing the first movement of [Phalanx Guardian Form]. Visualizing the creation of the protective ring, I raised my sword, attempting to replicate the defensive structure described in the manual.
Swish—!
A transparent ring materialized in the air, encircling me. It held an ethereal glow, indicating its defensive potential. Intrigued, I tried to assess its solidity by gently poking it with the hilt of my sword.
To my surprise, the ring resisted my touch, firm and unyielding. A grin crept across my face as I considered the tactical advantages this defensive stance could offer in various scenarios.
"Now, let's test its endurance," I muttered to myself, preparing for a more rigorous evaluation.
I unsheathed a spare sword and swung it at the defensive ring with controlled force. The blade made contact, and for a moment, the defensive structure held strong, deflecting the strike.
Impressed, I continued to test its limits, increasing the intensity of my attacks. The defensive ring remained resolute, proving its effectiveness against a variety of strikes.
Satisfied with the initial assessment, I decided to explore the offensive potential of [Phalanx Guardian Form]. The manual hinted at the ability to counterattack while maintaining a defensive posture.
I adjusted my stance, focusing on the second aspect of [Phalanx Guardian Form]. As I did, a surge of energy coursed through my sword, imbuing it with a defensive aura.
Now equipped with the knowledge and skills of [Phalanx Guardian Form], I felt a newfound confidence in my martial abilities. The defensive prowess it offered would undoubtedly be a valuable asset in future encounters, providing a solid foundation for both offense and defense.
