Chapter 184: Way Of The Landers [1]

Descendants of the countryside dweller, the meaning of their name? This is one of their known titles apart from their swordsmanship, though the countryside might not be as developed as a city. The populace that lives their lives is kind, they aren’t lacking in manners or etiquette however they were said to be unreasonable. Their judgment that should’ve been handled by the court is held on their own. The Landers household had another name to reflect their outrageous rules and way of life they were also known as the unorthodox

“Esther your such a troublesome little sibling for this elder brother of yours, why didn’t you join them to the lair? I could easily handle this situation without having to worry about your safety, then again it’s been a while since we’ve teamed up. I’ll split the imprisoning typhoon for your to fight with a quarter of their squa~”

“Half… I want half of their group, I didn’t come here as your sister that you need to protect. I came here as a Landers, you should be well informed about the rules of our household are you not? If so then let me face half of their numbers!!!” Her eyes showed an unyielding thirst for blood as she kept her composure in check

[System: Due to the will of the player bearing the authority of the deity controlling the wind. The player Esther Landers has been placed with six hostile individuals who intend to end her life. We advise the player to avoid any kind of aggressive display of attacks since you are only by yourself]

Her resolve was permitted and the prison was cut in half, whilst the number of players they have to deal with was reduced. Esther was met with the following players that bear the mask of the ox, cat, monkey, horse, goat, and finally a dragon. When she uttered her family name she informed her brother about her need to prove her worth and show her skills

“Miss I suggest that you forfeit our match, I don’t want to hurt a beautiful girl such as yoursel~” The player bearing the mask of the monkey quickly parried her sword which stopped his pointless remarks. She didn’t show any slightest hint of mercy, the movement of her blade was calm yet a suffocating leakage of mana. Apart from the constant application of mana to her weapon, it contains her murderous intent

Amidst a life-and-death situation, her movement was unpredictable the cheerful smiles she displayed had no longer appeared. Her eyes were dead and her body moves in a way where she could’ve ended their lives with every stroke she made with her sword. This resulted in the other mask players assisting their own as soon as they found her to be a threat to their safety

[System: The passive of the weapon called [Needle] has been activated after its requirement has been met

(Passive) [Pierce increase]: Whenever the sword is within reach of the enemy’s body it’ll gain an increase in its penetration. [Handling] When the wielder of Needle injects its body with mana it’ll increase the wielder’s dexterity. [Thrust] Due to its rapier-like form this sword has increased damage when the wielder performs a thrusting attack]

“Increase apart of my strength to a certain extent, Physical boost!!!” Before her enemies could get ahold of her life, she increases her physical capabilities to escape their grasp. Even though she was outnumbered and out-skilled by their coordination, she remain standing whilst being a worthy adversary. On Silas’s side of the imprisoning wind, he was being restricted due to his higher level compared with the norms

This led to most of his capabilities and his skills being locked inside the trials, though it wasn’t easy for his foe to land a single hit. His huge and intimidating sword was enough to repel the attacks from the players on his side without wasting a single skill. But as time goes on he notices the gap between his restriction and the power of his opponent

“The winds in my surrounding I ask of you to heed my call, and form within my sword and empower my attack. Tempestuous arts, 2nd form Cyclone thrust!!! Original technique, 1st form aerial swing!!!” His attack repelled the projectiles his enemies sent to his location whilst I made home recover from their attacks

In addition to his restrictions, Silas was slowly noticing that his enemies were growing stronger as time went on. Their physique changes and they embodied the form of a skinwalker who transforms into a monstrous state. Their mask changes their appearances as they turned into a monster that Morris had previously faced before

’I’ve heard of this technique before, shamanic magic that transforms a person that can mimic the power of a beast. Though this act is seen as a dark art and was forbidden to be used by shamans. They say that this transformation only works if they hunt and sacrifices the souls of the chosen animal for them to transform. Messing with the life of another being was said to not be the way of the shamans whose purpose was to protect,’

[System: The player Silas Landers has activated the skill called [Spiritual descent]. The player has now opened a small rift to the spirit world to call for the aid of his trusted spirit. The wind spirit and follower of the player’s deity Sylph has appeared to aid her contractor]

A small sprite appeared by his side, but from his perspective, he was greeted by a wind elemental that accepted his call. A small and elegant girl with a beauty that matches that of a fairy appeared by his side where she dons an irritated face. She quickly protected him from being attacked by his awakened adversaries that manages to turn the tides of war

“Oi, you big oaf!!! What did you get yourself into now!!? I’ve wasted my relaxation because I had to answer your call!!? What do you need to call my hell?” Sylph berates him after she repelled his enemies with a gust of wind that pushes them to the edge. With just a slight contact from the wind that locks them in place, their bodies were shredded by the powerful pressure of the wind. They stopped for a moment so that they could recover from their wounds whilst Silas remained afloat with his spirit

“Can’t you see that I’ve found myself in a tight spot? And just to clarify you were the one that chose to become my spirit. You must stay by my side, don’t tell me you’ve forgotten the oath you promised to my god. Since im not allowed to use my blessing due to it being powerful and the system has to restrict my capability. You were allowed to rise from your ranks to become a great spirit, now quit your whining and do as I command,” Not long after he summoned his sister to his side after he learned of the ability of their foe

Due to this matter being beneficial to his spirit, she didn’t have any opposition to his demands. The 12 guardians were now gathered in the same space with the rest of their group, as disadvantages, it is on their side. By bringing the 12 of them to a single space he made it less taxing for him to maintain his imprisoning trick. The arrival of his spirit was in his favor since she was able to lessen the flow of mana in their surroundings

[System: The spirit known as Sylph used her authority to control the flow of mana in the space surrounded by air. Any player within the space has been rid of their normal supply of mana from the world. Mana channeling will be harder and the cost of skills has been increased. We advised you to save your mana for the time when you could use your remaining amount to its fullest potential]

“My transformations are becoming unstable,” The lack of mana made it harder for them to maintain their form though it also made it harder for the two to face them in battle. With the sudden turn of events, the guardians called off their transformation whilst the sibling appeared in their front

“I didn’t think they’ll be this sick in the head,” Esther was disgusted by the acts that her enemies had committed to gain their transformation

“The animals are just for show, the thing im more concerned about is the souls they’ve used to obtain that power. Sylph, prepare for the plans I made a while back when I called for you. Just follow the instructions and everything will be easier compared to its difficulty,” After the end that separated them was extinguished the two siblings were then blessed with a particular buff

[System: Wind elementals blessing has been granted upon the player Esther Landers & Silas Landers. They’ll now gain a slight increase in their attacks when faced with a good or evil attribute player. It was said that the wind was the symbol of freedom and it brings birth to this blessing that grants the players a buff. They aren’t shackled by any ideals concerning good or evil, though their powers increase to whomever they fight. The element you possess is an element that doesn’t pick any kind of side. Making this element only favor those who are neutral and unmoved by ideals and only desires freedom]
