Chapter 119: New Active Skills
"Everyone’s fighting style is unique in some way."
"Some rely on their natural physical abilities to win."
"Some on their reactions and experience."
"But the ones to truly look out for on the battlefield are those who can analyse their opponent’s fighting style standing at the back of the enemy and only committing themselves once they felt sufficiently prepared."
"Of course, this was no easy feat, as you had to look after the overall battle situation while looking at an opponent’s fighting style, and as a result, only those with a towering intellect were able to fight like this."
"But each one who did was able to achieve this ended up being gods of the battlefield with their names inscribed into the annals of history."
"Amulius Lunaris, Drusus Dardinius, Ranier Lantier and Railius Aurellion are perfect examples of this."
"With each person possessing the ability to change the fate of entire nations."
Publius Pollius, a historian in the Empire of Chavaria

The fight started under the watchful eyes of the crowd. Bron began by sending a horizontal cut at Railius’ waist that was blocked, the dulled blades crashing against each other, but Bron didn’t stop there. He kicked Railius in his stomach, sending him flying backwards. Then he used a skill and, in a flash, appeared above Railius, his sword already half swung down, bearing down on the young player.
Railius barely managed to defend himself, blocking the strike with his sword when it was only inches away from his chest before kicking Bron away and standing up, taking up a basic guard stance.
