Chapter 24: Dual Weilding On Peak
Leon woke up in the meadows once again. The sun was still showering the world with its warm light, and the ground seemed to be using a green blanket to shield the earth below.
He jumped to his feet and took out the freshly purchased short swords. He sheathed one of them and brandished the other one.
His first task was to make sure he was in a safe area. Only then could he practice freely. From the last two tries, he also guessed that the strange monster that killed him every time was attracted to blood too.
After all, it only came after he had killed a Rabbit. His attacks on the rabbit’s fangs had definitely drawn out blood. That might have done the job of attracting it.
Still, it was just a theory.
He looked around and couldn’t see anything even in the distance aside from the rolling hills full of grasslands. He checked some more and found a location where the surroundings were elevated.
It helped in him not being sighted by other monsters. So he quickly went there and once again checked. He wanted to make sure there wasn’t a monster around him.
Only then he heaved a sigh of relief and decided to practice the dual wielding of his short swords. He had already covered the basics—now the time was to use it in practical.
With a deep breath, he calmed his mind and began doing some slashes and sword movements with both of his hands. The main problem with dual wielding was always dividing one’s concentration on both hands.
Not everyone could do that, and even those who could often lost their concentration in fights. After all, in death battles, most of your concentration would be on the enemy.
If you had to give your own movements a lot of your focus, then there were high chances you would die a terrible death. Not to mention that even a slight mishap and lost coordination between his hands could lead to the same result.
Fortunately for Leon, he had a habit of writing with both of his hands, and he had decades of experience with it. So, he found it easier to accept the basics.
