CH 34: affinity awakening
John leapt towards the alpha with his sword outstretched.
[+2% STR]
[+2% AGI]
John had previously learnt that he only needed the daggers equipped in order to gain the bonus and didn't necessarily need to actually use them.
After the first attack the alpha started fighting back. Similar to his the fire alpha used flame claws this one surrounded its claws with water which spun like miniature drills.
[-1 HP]
His arm was scraped but he managed to dodge slightly mitigating the damage. Quickly moving round John tried attacking from the rear but the alpha managed to keep up and was already attempting to bite John.
[skill (dodge) gained]
[class: (predator) activated]
As soon as his class was activated he felt slightly stronger and carried on attacking as much as he could.
[-2 HP]
[-1 HP]
[skill (water resistance) gained]
[skill (piercing resistance) gained]
.

He heard more notifications sound of as he felt his strength increase. The alpha sent more attacks with its claws as John continued blocking and redirecting hits.
[new tab (fighting styles) gained]
[fighting style (water sword style) gained]
[fighting style (earth sword style) gained]
John didn't notice the notifications as he had now become fully engrossed in the battle but he could feel that his fighting with the sword has become smoother. His blocking had increased aswell as his redirecting abilitys.
He continued to fight harder and harder but soon he started running out of breath. Thd Alpha stood there with many scratches all over its body
[current combo: 32]
[+64% STR]
[+64% AGI]
*HUFF* *HUFF* *HUFF*
'dammit I'm nearing my limit I need to finish this soon. Unfortunately the duel means that no one else can interfere otherwise the rewards will disappear, but I can always reset again. No I should stay alive as that would give me more points in the shop'
John was struggling to think what to do.
[name: lower alpha water wolf
HP: 28
STR: 25
AGI: 32
MAG: 22
DEF: 28
Note: an elemental wolf that is reaching its first evolution ]
Seeing the stats he could understand why he was having such a hard time against the alpha. He knew what he had to do and that was continue raising his skills using his class and hope he can gain enough strength to defeat it before he runs out of energy.
Quickly running forward his sword was raised and slashed forward as hard as he could but it was quickly deflected by the wolfs claws.
'dammit think, I can control magic and its at its current max level but I can't do anything.'
The wolf charged forward but he quickly deflected it and moved the wolfs head to the side causing it to run past him and fall over. This wasn't enough as it quickly jumped back up and was ready to charge again.
'dammit I have to atleast tried.'
John tried splitting his attention in two as he focused on the wolf aswell as attempting to control his magic.
'control magic without using (meditation) but that's not enough I need to move it aswell. To my sword if I can finish this with one attack than I should be fine.'
*PHEW*
taking in a deep breath John attempted moving his magic around his magic heart and move it into his body.
[skill (parralel thinking) gained]
[skill (parralel thinking) +2 levels]
Focusing as hard as he could he tried moving his magic and it became slightly easier to focus. The wolf charged once again but he quickly moved himself to the side but unfortunately he lost control and his magic went back to his magic heart.
[skill (dodge) activated]
[skill (dodge) +1 level]
'dammit try harder!'
He quickly found his magic and brought it into his body and moved it through his body as quick as he could without losing focus.
[skill (conscious magic control) gained]
[skill (conscious magic control) +2 levels]
As he reached the end of his magic veins he then moved the magic into his muscles, bones, fat ect. Something he had yet to try.
[skill (magic control) +3 levels]
[this skill cannot be upgareded]
[level ups will turn into xp]
[+3000 xp -> +3300 xp]
[magic: 16/24]
He tried more but the wolf charged once again and sent its claws for his throat. The parried the attack and quickly sent one of his own towards the unguarded torso losing control once again.
John grew frustrated but carried on regardless as he knew this was what he needed.
[skill (minor sword enhancement) gained]
He could feel his sword become filled with magic but he needed more for his plan to work. Channeling more magic into his sword it grew with a bright light.
*RRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRR*
sending our one last howl the wolf charged once again but John was ready. Without thinking Johns sword sliced through the air towards the wolf.
[skill (open thread) activated]
(open thread) had leveled up but John hadn't used it since so he wasn't sure what it exactly done. This time instead of one string appearing on the tip of his sword two appeared. One was at the tip and the other at his hand. Moving his hand and sword along with the strings he sliced his sword onto the wolfs back.
[spell (rudimentary smite) gained]
As the sword made contact a small explosion of magic and wind occurred causing John to be sent flying backwards.
*KEUK*
He coughed up a small amount of blood as he tried standing up but realized that his legs were currently to weak.
'dammit. AGAIN!' He screamed as he sent his magic to his sword whilst activating his two knew skills.
[skill (minor sword enhancement) +1 level]
[skill (rudimentary smite) +1 level]
As the wolf got to him it bit down on his stomach causing blood to shoot out in all directions.
[skill (bleed resistance) +1 level]
[skill (piercing resistance) +1 level]
"just die already!"
*WHACK* *BANG*
an explosion was once again created as his sword made contact with the wolfs head. As his consciousness started to fade he saw his magic and health reach zero as a system message rang out in his ears.
[you have died]
[Innate Talent (regression) activating]
[ERROR your class is clashing with your Innate Talent. The problem will be fixed ]
[elemental affinity unlocked]
[ultimate grade affinity: time manipulation]
[due to the unlocking of an affinity the strength will be increased dramatically for 10 seconds ]
John's eyes opened as his body started healing at an incredible rate.
"GUYS HE'S OK." josh shouted as he saw John struggle to stand
"thank god." Terry sighed as her sword glowed
"what the hells happening to him." David asked as he stepped forward
As he stood up his eyes glowed a bright yellow as what looked like a golden clock face appear behind him. He could feel a strong power spread throughout his body. Stretching out his hand and turning his wrist anticlockwise the wolfs injurys started to heal. After John twisted his wrist clockwise causing its injurys to reappear.
*HOOOWWWWLLL*
seeing the wolf howl in pain Johns smile grew. Twisting his wrist further the wolf started to bleed faster and faster until it collapsed to the floor.
