Ghost slash

lucifer was shocked he recognized that Fafnir was doing the same attack that he was continually using but it being a little bit better was an incredible understatement especially the last attack. lucifer watched it over and over again and on his 100th time watching it lucifer could tell that the skill was better and significantly more complicated but he couldn't understand why but it didn't make him feel discouraged it made him feel excited to learn the move. He still couldn't put his finger behind why the move felt weird so when Fafnir was done with its 101 demonstration lucifer said fight and Fafnir shot forward at lucifer and began his attack and lucifer immediately realized what was different and even though this was not real he felt an intense fear of death because with every strike not only did he speed up but Fafnir's strikes were unblockable the strikes felt weird because they weren't sword strikes whenever lucifer tried to block the strikes he could see his sword would hit nothing but air and the momentum from his failed block would leave him open to that attack and the rest of them. lucifer was happy that this wasn't real because if it was and he had to fight this Fafnir he would have died. Lucifer then fought Fafnir 100 times in a row and every time there was nothing lucifer could do lucifer had tried to see the strikes he couldn't for the rest of the fights Lucifer had tried to feel where the swords would be by taking the first hit and trying to guess where the second one was and every time he was wrong he even tried closing his eyes and just relying on his instinct and it all failed. Lucifer had tried to smell, feel, see, and hear the sword and nothing worked so instead of wasting his time lucifer sat down and tried memorizing Fafnir's technique. after about a week of time lucifer stood up, grabbed his sword, and tried doing the technique that Fafnir was using he moved his body and sword perfectly he even did the last strike perfectly the downward sword strike was devastating it was almost the strongest attack he had and a soon as it hit something lucifer immediately and with explosive movements launched 4 fast strikes. He finished the skill and a text box appeared and it said " skill proficiency 50%". The next 5 months were frustrating for lucifer he had done the move perfectly hundreds of times but it would stay at 50% and in the legendary dream he couldn't use anything except for the strength of his body and Fafnir's technique, so lucifer tried fighting Fafnir with the techniques and he wasn't able to block any attacks he was still hit every time he constantly fought Fafnir as days turned into week and weeks turned into months. lucifer just sat thinking for a whole day and he couldn't think of anything so again he decided that there was no point in thinking cause he didn't know enough about Fafnir or even swords so he just stood up and started trying random things to block the attacks. when things were looking bleak and he only had 1 month he heard the sound he had been waiting almost a year for he heard the sound of metal hitting metal and for the first time he saw Fafnir step back and pause slightly because lucifer had blocked his attack. Immediately lucifer almost fell on his knees he felt amazing all the frustration left him and he felt like an idiot for not trying this earlier. when Lucifer was trying random things he tried to just block the strikes with his hands he tried blocking the strikes right at the tip of the sword that would hit him and nothing happened so he tried it with the sword and while holding his sword that close to his body and blocking the attack was difficult and uncomfortable it worked. so lucifer tried it again and he blocked most attacks but he noticed that until the sword was really close to him it was unable to be blocked his sword would just go through the other sword. When Lucifer realized why the technique felt weird he felt like an idiot for not realizing it sooner. The technique felt weird because it reminded him of wolf stalk, the technique was similar but different instead of entering the void the sword was unable to be blocked because the technique used the space element to make the sword enter the void but still be visible so that the opponent could see the sword but they couldn't feel or block it because it was in the void and when the sword would hit the opponent it leaves the void and even though lucifer didn't understand the space or any element yet he was able to use his experience with the void from using wolf stalk and void laws to perform the skill at 90% proficiency. Lucifer was at 90% because the sword was invisible until it came out of the void so it was easy to block. lucifer practiced and practiced until he got frustrated and did the technique with as much speed and power as he could because of his frustration he made various mistakes but the technique felt different lucifer felt like it was getting harder to perform the technique it felt like he was trying to swing his sword through tar but he just kept swinging and on the last swing he imagined he was Fafnir slashing down with his greatsword and it felt like he cut through the tar and even though the strike was in the void he could see it. he didn't enter the void he forced his way into just a small layer of it. it was like instead of fully entering the heart of the void he had forcefully cut into it using the space element. lucifer practiced using the space element and after a while, it felt good and he then heard "Congratulations ghost slash proficiency 100%. Ghost slash has been learned on the impossible difficulty you have received the title ghost". lucifer was then back, in reality, he took a deep breath and dropped his sword. he saw that he was in the same position as before and that it really had been only 12 seconds. Lucifer ran inside and saw Sarah sitting on a couch looking at him like a weirdo. lucifer sat down on the couch across from Sarah and sighed he just sat there and rested his mind because even though he couldn't feel anything in the legendary dream when he left he still felt tired. Sarah looked at him and said, "are you done cultivating?"

"nope" lucifer took a long pause opened his eyes and while laughing said, "I got trapped in a sword and learned a skill from that lizar I killed in a nest because the sword was legendary". to show this lucifer swung his sword and used ghost slash it looked like a normal attack but Sarah immediately knew what it was she could feel the Suttle hint of space around it and thought for a moment before she joked and said "why are such good things always happening to you" she paused and then said " I'll tell you about war laws but I'm only gonna tell you about the three you need to know about the first and most important rule is that in a large scale war between sects it must start with the weaker disciples and until another sect uses higher tier disciples. this rule was put in place to make war as beneficial as possible because if one sect sent out heavenly core disciples without this rule the other sect could just use divine core cultivators. the second rule is self-explanatory in a war between 2 parties the leaders cannot participate In fights with anyone except for the other party's leader because if not then a sect leader could just wave their hands and kill thousands of weaker disciples. now the third rule in war challenges can be issued normally how these challenges happen is a general or someone with power will bring 10 or more disciples of the same core of cultivation and to the sect they are at war with and they will issue a challenge most challenges are single battles where the sect that is challenged will have to send out the same number of cultivators of the same realm. Most battles are done at the divine core realm so hurry up and get there cause even though you could beat most divine core realm cultivators you can't fight them in a war. Now go back to your courtyard and get some rest". lucifer said "ok" and went back to his courtyard. he was gonna go to sleep but on the bed was an intersect disciple uniform, a plain mask, and a rock with a note attached to it but lucifer was too tired to care about that right now so he just gently Pushed it to the side and went to bed.
