Chapter 2

Claang!!

Clang!

Syat!!

"W-wait!!! Wait a minutes what the hell are you trying to do?! Isn't this supposed to be training?? Why did you suddenly trying to kill me like this?!"

Crawling and rolling about on the ground, I screamed while dodging endless blades that coming toward my direction without stopping!

"Pay attention!! Use your ears to hear and feel the rythm, and eyes to observe The pattern! Its just a basic attack...

Midway to Midnight sentence, I Saw him suddenly dissapear, and appeared behind my back like a ghost!

"If you having trouble on digest it, you are doomed, just like this!"

Stab!!!

Uuuggghhh!!!

A sudden Pain suddenly overwhelmed my chest.

I Saw a red blood spurting like a fauntain just when I am staring on my chest.

An eerie black cutlass like blade stabbing trhough my chest, made my mind tremble in horror and confussion.

"A-are you crazy midnight... D-did you just kill me? Bas-"

"Kill you? Did you still speaking and standing here? it seems you don't have a good head... Sigh..."

Hearing Midnight emotionless and dissapointed tone, My mind started to turn, as the sudden Pain in my chest gradually dissapeared.

Shrugh~

Bleergh!!

Midnight pulling the blade back, and the Pain I felt suddenly dissapear like illusion.

But still, the mental break down that I had after getting stabed and feeling fear of the death, made me vomit a mouthful of blood.

Gasp!

Haah.. Hah...

"I-I still alive?"

Confused, I began to check the wound that was supposed to be in my chest, and realized it was slowly closing, back to its original state as if time itself reverting back.

"Now, do you understand. You can't die here in this void space"

I began to catch my breath while listening on Midnight brief explanation.

To be honest, this is the very first time I feel death was so close.

But the wonder of being alive even after had my heart destroyed to pieces is very Magical experience for me.

'Its really Magical, how come the game I used to play suddenly became this godly? It could summon another Raven too? Did some god out there modify it?'

"Stand up, we will continue our training"

Hearing Midnight strict voice, I slowly stood up and gathered my willpower to continue training.

After all, this is the only chance I have to grab for my own survival within strange Environment out there.

"Listen carefully, the core of blade pierce skill are Precision and rythm. Those who control the rythm are those who control the battle. The Amber scorpion emphasis this technique to control the situation when we do our mission"

"Focus on the strength of your arms while doing this skill, combine the blade and Sickle in your Hands to create the combo strike appropiately, and be flexible with it as the situation needed to"

"The key of this skill is to observe the enemy movement and strike its vital spot while they let their guard down"

Clang!

Slashh!

Swipe!

I listened Midnight advice while trying hard to Dodge his approach.

As he continue playing with me like a cat that try to play with a mouse, I gradually understood what this bastard trying to teach me.

When I observe his movement, I realized his eyes always scanning my body, always ready to strike when I made a slight mistake.

'Control.. That is really what assassin class truly is. They are strong on PvP not only because of their burst damage and critical, but the annoying CC they had is more potent than the damage itself.

But this is really surprising, when I play the game, I never consider this basic combo attack as anything, and use it crudely as a mean to attack'

While I slowly digest the knowledge from Midnight, I suddenly found his body become blurry.

When I saw this familiar scene, my body became tensed and unconsciously crouching down as the life and dead instinct I had within me, screamed madly.

Slaaash!

As expected, when I turn my head up, I Saw that terrifying blade once again!

'Damn it, even thought I know that I will not die from it, getting my heart pierched is still a big no! This sadistic guy!'

"Good, it seems your sense gradually become sharper"

"This one move you are so afraid of right now is the skill called blood pierce"

Crackle*

Crackle*

When I saw a dim lightning and small thunder that lingering on Midnight hand, I became dumbfounded.

"Oh it seems you just realize it. Yeah, I am controlling thunder element now. But the one Blood Pierce I did to you previously is without one. So you still manage to sober.

Luckily this current strike was miss, if not, I want to see what kind of expression did you have when you feel your hearts grilled into a medium well"

'Bastard! Don't lump my heart the same as a steak meat cut!!'

Staring venomously at Midnight, I couldn't help myself to grumble in my mind.

"In summary, the key of this blood pierce skill is using it to strike from the opponent's back.

This way you will directly using this technique on its full potential. If you can, try aiming your thrust on vital spot, and it will magnify the damage into a higher degree"

"Thats all for the explanation for now, and lets continue to spar until you digest ur game character BR into your real body"

I was just about to stand up, but when I heard what Midnight said midway, I staggered and almost fall.

.

"BR?? Did you mean by that is the overall accumulate strength the character had in game??!! The Battle Rating?!!! Did I can really become that powerfull??!!!!"

"Of course. If you just need to learn the skill, do you think I will be bothered to come here personally? When you got hit and take a damage from my attack, your body will gradually absorbed the BR from your game character. Anyway, what is you BR now?"

"... Its something about 2000 I guess? I just leveled up a few level and get my basic gear from the quest after all"

"Oh its good tht you didn't have high BR yet, after all, if you accumulate too much you will be stay here for a long time and tortured enough to lose your mind by my blades. You are quite lucky to unlock your skill directly after you had enough points"

Cuckle*

Hearing Midnight explanation and sinister smirk, my body started to shudder, imagining the scene where I was slashed to bits and get my heart destroyed by this sinister guy.

"Let's continue our training. And be done with it faster. After all, I bet you don't want to stay with me here longer than its already is right?"

Holding my assassin weapon, I sweep away the cold sweat on my forehead, and firmed my heart more.

Silently following Midnight instruction and begin our sparring season.

'Better get tortured here rather than the outside world I guess..'

While I continue sparring with Midnight, this thought suddenly appeared inside my mind, somewhat easing my nerves and made my body relaxed a bit.

And so, thus, my long training season continue as I become more determine about raising my strength as much as possible here.

While we continue to spar, our relationship become closer, and I slowly getting to know what his true existence truly is.

But the more I get to know him, the more shock I was.

After all he and I....
