Marriage?

A delicate woman with silver-white hair like the color of the moon was currently fighting a giant wolf alone.

Sera was surprised, not expecting the contrast between the woman's appearance and the curses that were pouring out of her lips.

She just watched as the woman, which was around her height, fought with the wolf.

'She doesn't look like a player. She didn't seem to be struggling with the wolf, it was just that she had a barbaric way of fighting…'

Barbaric.

That was Sera's description of the woman's fighting style. She looked like she was enjoying her fight with the giant wolf.

'Oh well, if she's met with a dangerous situation, then maybe I could help her and obtain some benefits…' Sera analyzed in her heart.

As Sera continued watching, she felt something amiss.

The woman's silver eyes were shining with battle intent, like a crazed warrior facing a huge monster.

"Fucker! Come and kill me if you can!"

The woman's shield that was about a meter in diameter, larger than half her body, was used by the woman as she mercilessly pummeled the wolf with it.

It was at this moment that Sera realized something. 'She only had a shield with her!' Her eyes widened in surprise.

In Sera's opinion, the woman's figure was more suitable for an assassin since she had a graceful body.

However, here she was carrying a large shield larger than half her size, fighting it out with a huge wolf.

What's more absurd was the fact that the woman could easily use the shield to fight the wolf, as if she was extremely familiar with the shield.

It was Sera's first time to see this kind of fighting style.

'Normally, a person would choose an axe or sword together with the shield, some may choose just the sword or axe, but none would choose just the shield. Even those who play tank roles in games won't do this…' She thought in interest.

The woman and the wolf kept exchanging moves.

There were times where the wolf would swipe with its claw, to which the woman would respond by raising her shield.

Of course, the woman didn't stay passive. There were even more times where she took the initiative to attack by smashing her shield on the wolf.

'Crazy…' Sera felt quite amazed.

Growllll!!!

At this moment, the wolf suddenly lowered its center of gravity and its body began to glow.

This made Sera and the woman think of the same thing; a skill.

'The wolf is preparing to use a skill, I wonder how she would deal with it?' Sera wondered.

To her surprise, the woman lowered her stance as her circle shield glowed slightly.

'She's going to take it head on!?' Sera was dumbfounded.

It was common knowledge that although unintelligent monsters don't receive Stat points since they couldn't allocate it, they would receive bonus points on their Stat specialty. The increase in their Stats depended on their bloodline.

Sera estimated that even though this huge wolf didn't have any special bloodline, it was still around level 40s with an increase of about 10 points on its Strength and Agility every level up.

This meant that the wolf would at least have 40 points on Strength and Agility, not to mention that it may have encountered its own opportunities.

This was the reason why Sera was surprised.

As Sera kept thinking, the situation ahead was reaching its peak.

The wolf, which was a few meters away from the woman, leaped forward while brandishing its claws.

A glow surrounded its claws as the sound of it tearing through the air echoed around the area.

However, the woman remained unperturbed, focusing all her attention to the skill she was casting.

Just as the huge wolf neared her, she chanted something that made Sera's eyes widen,

[Moon Shield Art, Second Style: Sturdy Moon]

A mirage of the moon fused with her shield as it glowed with moonlight.

The moment the glowing claws of the huge wolf made contact with it, the claws broke.

Splatttt~

Blood spurted out of the huge wolf's injured claws as it lay on the ground and whimpered softly.

The woman looked at it and said, "Phew, I've had my fill. I need to finish this now, lest someone sees me."

Afterwards, the woman chanted,

[Moon Shield Art, First Style: Moon Bash]

Sera saw the mirage of the moon fuse with the shield again as the woman struck the wolf's head with it.

Bam!

It produced a loud noise as the body of the huge wolf directly exploded, causing its remains to scatter around the area.

The woman hid behind her shield to avoid being dirtied. "Ugh… It's so messy~" She said out loud as she got up.

She looked around warily, as if afraid of being seen by someone, before walking away.

Sera, who was still hiding in her position, was shocked by what she witnessed.

'A member of the Luna Familia! Considering the way she casted their inheritance art flawlessly, she doesn't seem to be simple!' Sera thought to herself as she looked at the floating system notifications in her vision.

[Ding!]

[The [Visual Learner] talent is in effect.]

[Currently learning the skill: Moon Shield Art.]

[Learning process: 24%]

As soon as Sera saw this, she felt a cold energy slowly coursing through her body. It went to her heart after circulating inside her body once and met the sun energy of the [Sun Sword Art].

To Sera's surprise, the pain from sun energy's side effect to her body dissipated even further on top of the Cold Potion she used earlier.

However, this feeling of relief was vague, as if it would disappear anytime.

'I… may have found a solution to my current situation.' Thought Sera as happiness flashed in her eyes.

She was right! Although she wasn't able to interact with the native woman, she still gained benefits!

She knew that although the feeling was vague, it was all because the learning process was still incomplete. Once she trained or observed the skill enough, she would be able to fully learn the skill!

However, before she could rejoice any further, a system notification sounded.

It was not only her that heard and saw this system notification, but every player in the Free World.

Even Zen who was currently laying on the ground with burnt clothes.

They all looked at the system notification to read what it said.

[Worldwide Announcement]

[Congratulations to player Clairvoyance and player Thorned Rose for being the first otherworlders to get married in the Free World! As the pioneers of love and marriage, they would receive rewards from the system. The Free World should not only be filled with fighting, but also, love!]

The emotionless, mechanical voice of the system sounded on everyone's ears. However, when it reached the last part of the announcement, its voice still sounded mechanical, but had a touch of passion in it.

Sera, Zen, and every other player in the Free World all became speechless as they read the worldwide announcement from the system.
