After the spear had penetrated Pink's stomach, although she could still continue to fight, she knew it was over, with Zain's speed and strength, he could make sure she was unbalanced, and would be able to charge in and chop her head off, which was why she had decided that it was the end of her battle.
No words needed to be spoken between the two, instead Zain had just received a message from his system.
[Quest complete]
[You have received a gold card]
[Would you like to use the gold card]
Taking the spear out from Pink, it looked like some of the other recruits had been told to bring some flesh by Wix, before things continued. This would give Pink a chance for her body to heal the now big hole in her stomach.
'This fight, it was won because of my sword mastery.' Zain thought.
It was clear as day that Pink was more skilled when it came to fighting, her skills were the very best he had ever come across, the first attack alone showed that. Even with Zain's speed and strength, she would have been able to overcome both of those.
However, due to his sword mastery, Zain could follow her movements, it was as if his instincts were telling him when he needed to go in and out, how to parry the leg and when to use the force against herself.
The high level of sword mastery Zain currently had, made it so his skill level was above hers. Without it, he thought the match could have turned out to be very different. Meanwhile Pink was thinking along similar lines, but in the opposite way.
'Zain is so strong… he has managed to improve and carry on improving, I thought I might have caught up with him, but he isn't even a fighter. His strength lies in the zombies that he can control. Everyone here has no idea how strong Zain really is. I'm glad that I chose to follow him.
'This gives me a goal, and a reason to keep getting stronger.' Pink thought.
Not waiting around, Zain decided to use the gold card and see what the reward was right away. Right now, he felt like he was hitting jackpot after jackpot with all these sparring sessions giving him rewards.
[Gold card has been used]
[You may level up any mastery by 1]
'This reward is great, it might not seem like a big thing if I was to get it early on, but right now, my sword mastery has been stuck on level 4, unable to improve. There are also a few other masteries that I could level up that are hard to come by, but as masteries go up in level they become harder to level up, so I know which one to choose straight away.'
[You have levelled up Sword Mastery]
[Sword mastery is now level 5]
[You have reached max level of sword mastery]
[It can no longer level up]
'The max level, I see, so the max that stats can increase to is 50 according to the system and level 5 for the masteries. Now that my sword mastery is at its max, I should use my dagger, hand to hand, and gun mastery more often. These are the most useful to me.
'Then if I really need to, I can use my swords. Otherwise, I'll just be wasting exp… come to think of it, I can still go to that place. I had put it on pause after reaching wave 10, but who knows if I'll ever be able to go back there again, since I don't have a return key.'
The flesh had arrived and PInk had no trouble gobbling it down. Gone were the days where she would struggle to eat flesh. Soon her body was reacting and at a slow pace it was healing the wound.
"So Kelly, I'm guessing that means you're up next." Kun smiled.
"What, me? Fight against Zain? If you guys don't stand a chance, then it would be the same for me, and besides I'm not much of a fighter in the first place." Kelly replied.
Although she did say that, there were a few instances when travelling together they got to witness Kelly's strength. If anything, the one thing that was holding her back was her personality. If she did go up against Zain the way she was now, it would show next to no benefit.
"It's okay, I think we all have an idea of how strong this person is." Wix said walking toward the centre, he started to take off his army-like uniform revealing just a vest underneath. It covered his chest but revealed his arms from the shoulder down. They were covered in bite marks, while being muscular at the same time.
"It's time for you to face the instructor. If you manage to beat me Zain, then I will allow you to have free reign to train as you wish., After all, like you said, then you will have nothing to learn from me, but if you end up losing, then I expect you to never speak up again."
Swinging his arms out, and lifting them up in a type of boxing stance just like with Pink, they started to cover in the same hard black material right up to his elbow.
[New Quest received]
[Defeat instructor Wix]
[Reward Gold Card]
"Alright, you have a deal!" Zain said, as he went in trying to finish this quickly. Since he had already transformed the white sword once into a spear he now had an awkward spear and Titan sword in his hands.
It was a mistake on Zain's behalf because his sword mastery skills didn't transfer to his spear skills. Thrusting it forward it was easy for Wix to avoid. Zain then swung the sword, but still with the spear in his other hand, things felt slightly off, it gave a chance for Wix to pivot and as he did he threw out a large hook, from his toes to his waist he spun into it and slammed right into Zain's forearm breaking the bone.
Before Zain could retaliate Wix jumped back out.
"Now with a broken arm, you won't be able to use your sword so well. I think I might have the upper hand in this match." Wix smiled, but that smile soon disappeared.
Right in front of his eyes, he was witnessing the quick healing speed of the Reborn named Zain Talen, his bones that were cracked, his forearm that bent in two places, was coming back together and was as good as new.
"Just what type of zombie are you?" Wix asked.
