Master Of None

Chapter 784: 784. Demonstration

With Walker stopped at a booth those in the area had paid a little attention to what he was doing. It was common for eyes to be on him no matter what since he was one of the hero title holders. However, it was even more unusual for the fairytale heroes to ignore swords and take a unique weapon like a scythe.

It was just more common for a hero to have a shield and sword or a spear in the common stories.

When Walker began to spin the scythe and move using some of the moves from the dance of the wild rabbit, he felt a connection. But what was even more odd was the fact that he could tell the steps were meant to be combined with this method of attack.

Walker wanted to experiment a little but had been surprised that he was actually going to be able to understand something. With the feeling he had and the movements, he had already brought a few people forward to check out what was going on.

The blacksmith was making his moves to call people over and Walker was not surprised to hear that the blacksmith was mentioning a hero using one of the weapons there.

Since he had agreed that he would help and his own interest was piqued, Walker started to push himself to show off a little more by using the scythe to vault in to the air and slash down at the training dummy. It was an elegant dance of spins and attack that made him appear to be a reaper himself.

When he slashed out next he pulled on the fire elemental mana in the air to do a little more. The mana gathered in the obsidian blade making it glow with heat. When Walker slashed out the fire that left the blade and remained on the training dummy was exactly what the blacksmith and Walker wanted to see.

The flashy attack was mirrored by the systems notification,

ʼThe skill burning blade has been taken from the obsidian swordsman system. The skill burning blade has been automatically learned due to usersʼ actions.

Burning blade-  4 mana cost

This skill can only be used with a weapon with fire affinity and resistance. The fire elemental mana will cause the blade to heat up and leave a flaming burn on the target. This not only will cause severe burns but also a potential fire.ʼ

Besides the fact that the attack had destroyed one of the training dummies and left the remains of it burning on the spot. The attack had also brought a small plume of dark smoke that was able to attract more people around. However, Walker did not want to stop moving since he felt that he could do even more.

The attacks were more consistent and the last dummy was being slashed over and over. Walker wanted to see how much control he could use while using the scythe. The small pieces of the dummy that were shaved off between spins and attacks were the reason most people were staying to watch. It was a demonstration that took up their attention and brought wonder.

ʼThe skill dance of the silent reaper has been taken from the angel of death system. The user has gained the skill through the usersʼ actions.

Dance of the silent reaper- passive

Requires the use of a scythe weapon or a weapon that has taken the lives of over a thousand living beings.

The user has the ability to silently dance with many spinning and twisting motions. The movements become elegant and hard to follow as if a spirit so roaming the land. With the silent movements, there is a very high chance to surprise an enemy but also the strong ability to slice through an unexpecting opponent. The motions are said to cause fear when being seen and respect of the one dancing.ʼ

Walker used the fire elemental mana one last time to slice what was left of the dummy in half. He watched the pumpkin head begin to burn then go out in a steaming pile. ”Sorry, I got a little excited while I was learning some new things. I hope that is alright?” The blacksmith had nothing to say. He had gotten exactly what he wanted.

One of the morning stars was being examined by a guard off duty and even a few of the military academy students had been attracted.

”No no, it was perfect. I couldnʼt have asked for a better demonstration. You even used one of the hardest weapons I had here perfectly!” The blacksmith had a wild grin that spoke volumes of his ideas.

Before Walker could speak again the blacksmith made a grand motion, ”The hero was so kind to assist me in todayʼs demonstration that I could not help but feel giving him a meager few gold was acceptable. Due to his amazing performance, I have decided to gift him the obsidian scythe made right here in this city.

There are many more in the obsidian series of weapons and shields if anyone is interested. Please ask for Gram when you visit the forge and mention this demonstration. Now, anyone who manages to unlock their childsʼ system here will receive my coupon free!”

Walker smirked as the blacksmith used his business experience to woo the crowd and gain a lot more attention. Before Walker even knew what happened he was nearly pushed aside by potential buyers and children that wanted to snag one of the forge coupons. Not to mention the military academy students interested in the obsidian series weapons.

”I guess that went well,” Walker stored the obsidian scythe and wore a bright smile while he moved to find the others. He wasnʼt surprised to find they had moved on from the archery and towards one of the simpler games. He also was sure that they would be after the pumpkin candy he had offered before.
