《Virtual Sword God! 》Chapter 35: Blue sparks
Advertisement
Scarlett was slightly confused as to why everyone reacted the way they did when they saw the warrior Novis chose. She understood the disappointment when seeing his rank but she knew he hadn't been playing the game. When looking at Alex she could tell something was seriously wrong.
"What's the problem with Novis's warrior?" Scarlett asked.
"It doesn't make sense, does your friend really want to win this game? The warrior only came out today. No one has had a chance to play with him in a game yet and that's not the only problem. Maybe your friend doesn't know but the warrior has no skills. All it can do is change between weapons. Experts have gone so far to criticize it as a garbage release character.
Scarlett suddenly understood. She knew how useful the systems skills where. Scarlett had never held a bow and arrow in her life before. Without the systems skills, she would have never been able to shoot an arrow as accurately as she did. Not only that, Novis had even selected a new character that he couldn't have had a lot of experience with.
"Novis you numbskull, pick someone else!" Scarlett shouted
"Shut up, I know what I'm doing," Novis replied.
No matter what Scarlett said Novis was going to choose his warrior. He had been waiting for this moment for so long.
"Silver 1 huh, I guess this is a good chance to see how much I've improved." Novis thought to himself.
The game started, Mac chose the Warrior Krang, while Novis chose Heros Puer. The two of them entered the game. The people supporting Novis were praying, hoping for some sort of a miracle. While the goons supporting mac were chilled and relaxed, half of them wasn't even looking at the screen thinking they already knew the outcome.

As Novis entered the game he took in the whole atmosphere. He was looking around at the scenery. Unlike the capsule, the VR headset didn't simulate smells but Novis could imagine it, he could smell the area around him. He hadn't played the game in months and this time it felt like a whole new experience for him. He was truly appreciating the Game for the first time.
"What is he doing, why isn't he moving?" Alex asked.
Alex was getting more and more worried as he watched Novis. It looked like he had never touched the game before, never mind being rank bronze 5.
Scarlett began to laugh.
"Well, he hasn't played the game in a while so he's just getting used to it."
Alex was starting to think Scarlett was insane. What made her think that Novis stood a chance? Just when he thought he couldn't be shocked anymore he found out something new.
Krang was confident in beating Novis, he didn't use any cheap moves and decided to just head straight to the centre of the map and wait for Novis. Eventually, Novis arrived at the centre of the map.
Novis was currently holding the two chain swords in his hands.
"Do you even know how to use those things," Mac said.
Everyone watching was thinking the same thing. They had never seen such a strange weapon before. They all imagined themselves in Novis situation where they were given a weapon to use but had no skills to use it with. They all had one thought, Novis was doomed.
"These things you mean, sure!" Novis started spinning the chain sword in two circles then ran towards Mac.
"Even I could do that!" Mac said.
Mac came forward and jumped in the air performing the skill Hammer smash but the hammer smash wasn't even close to touching Novis. Mac thought Novis would run in and use the chain blade similar to two swords. Novis, however, stayed a good five feet away.

"You want to see how to use these then?" Novis said.
Novis then proceeded to swing the blade out while holding the other half in his hand. The chain would swing out like a snake bite. The attacks came out fast clashing against Mac's armour and hammer. Several sparks started to flicker as the two made an impact. Mac was overwhelmed and couldn't move forward. He was doing his best to make sure the blade didn't touch his face.
Everyone watching Novis's attack could only think one thing. Beautiful, the chain blade swinging through the air looked so beautiful, similar to those ribbon dancers at the Olympics.
The problem was Krang's armour was far too think. There was no opening attacking this way. Although Novis's stamina had improved he knew he would tire out before Mac this way.
Novis then selected to change to the long sword and rushed forward towards Mac. The longsword was known for its damage output and would be strong enough to cause some damage.
Mac saw Novis rushing towards him with the long sword and used his skill Hammer swing. Mac started to spin around in circles with his hammer.
Alex was starting to get worried, Novis looked impressive with the chain sword but it didn't do much damage. The weapon was too weak to penetrate the armour. The hammer was spinning to fast for Novis to get close with his long sword.
Novis then quickly changed to the spear and threw it towards Mac stopping his momentum, then quickly changed to the duel swords. If Hammer swing was interrupted the character would be stumbled and dizzy for a few seconds. Novis wasn't going to let this chance go.
The members couldn't believe what they were looking at, Novis was switching between weapons so fast and was able to use each one.
Using the duel swords Novis unleashed a flurry of attacks on Mac, slowly chipping away at his armour and causing scratches all over. Mac had come out of his daze and started to lift his hammer in the air for another smash attack.
As the hammer came down Novis spun to avoid the strike. During the spin, he switched to his chain sword. He swung the sword around Mac's body and hammer tangling them up, both ends of the chain sword were stuck firmly in the ground.
Mac would only be restrained for a few seconds before he pulled the blade and chain out of the ground but this was all that Novis needed. He changed to the long sword and pierced Mac straight through his head.
Mac burst int blue sparks.
The whole room went silent. Alex couldn't believe what he had just seen. Scarlett standing next to him couldn't hold in her smile and Mac's goons who weren't paying attention to the game, suddenly realised everyone had stopped speaking. As they looked at the screen it said.

A story of an individual with a cursed past and an unknown future. Follow the journey of Theo trying to find his purpose in a world full of cultivation, magic, and other mystical arts. What happens when someone without a will to live finally gains freedom along with an absurd amount of potential? Will he pursue strength in a world that values nothing but power, or will he decide to live a quiet and normal life for the first time? This is a story of a man with a system (yes, I know, very original), cursed with the faith of a protagonist. Whether he will follow the road of humiliating swarms of ignorant young masters asking for a beating, or carelessly pick up love interests from all corners of the world is yet to be seen.This story features many different realms and power systems, so if you enjoy novels with massive worlds and endless exploration, this is for you. Although it has a system, it is more of a manifestation of his own power and mysterious origin, not some gift from God.This is my first novel, and I am not a native English speaker, so the grammar won’t be perfect, but I hope you enjoy it nonetheless.
