Knight Finduilas' Trouble
[You are standing in the presence of a strong individual]
[You are vulnerable to status defects]
[You vulnerable to fear state]
[You have resisted]
[You have resisted all vulnerability to status defects]
Leon stood in front of the gate.
"Sir Finduilas, this is Blind Sage, the new lord of our territory, Blind Sage, this is Knight Finduilas" Tessa concluded.
Leon gulped as the Knight's gaze fell on him, he could see the fury in those eyes.
The Knight lowered himself and slide his legs backwards, taking a stance like he was about to run, one hand was on his sheath and the other was on the hilt of his sword.
~Tssssss~
Breeze waned out of his clenched teeth.
"Lightsword...Outburst"
[Shilgami: Discerning eyes has been activated]
[A piece was captured, but is not enough]
~Woooosh~
[You have died]
A line of light drew at the speed of light from where Knight Finduilas stood to the end of the street that was opposite the castle. The places the line crossed were halved immediately, with the upper half belatedly shattering.
"Wow, I knew you were not going to accept him, but I never thought you would kill him on sight," Tessa said.
"You players are blessed with the power of immortality, he'll just resurrect after a day right. Well as far as I live the only way for him to enter the castle is by dodging my attack"
'He's so dead, only if he didn't meet a hard-core NPC like Finduilas' "But isn't that unfair, one can't even see the attack until they are dead"
"Hahaha," He laughed, "You Tessa is an exception. You are favoured by the city. I would have loved to teach but unfortunately, your profession does not allow you to hold a sword right" He said as he walked into the castle.
'...sadly...but I'm not bothered, since I am the first player that got this unique profession and its the best thing that happened to me, since I joined this game'

[Welcome to Aron]
Leon was revived after six hours on an altar of resurrection which is in the middle of the city. He walked to the front of the castle while talking to Gretas.
=> Didn't you see my message? A lot has changed, Temper is now a better place. Did you meet Knight Barrister, he has left Kont'el.
=> I've been good. Where have you been?
=> Oh, I've been at Easthaven, it's still a city under Temper.
=> I see...
=> But I'm back in Kont'el
=> I have to go there's something I have to take care of.
Leon quitted the chat as he arrived in front of the castle.

,[A little more has been captured]
[But far from complete]
[You have died]
Leon saw a brief bright yellow light before his visual blacked out but from the windows of the castle. The Knight landed on the ground and sheathed his fancy golden sword.
...

...One month later(in real-time)...
[You have used more than three months in the game]
[New player grace has been removed]
[You will now lose experience points when you die]
Leon marched to his death point as he has been doing for the past four months(game time). He has not even gotten to the gate.
[Shilgami: Discerning eyes has been activated]
[A little more has been captured]
[You have died]
...
[Shilgami: Discerning eyes has reached level 25]
[You have unlocked a new perk of Shilgami]
[You can deduce an opponent's move from their pattern of movement]
"Are you just going to keep dying without a plan? How many times has it been now, over 100?" Tessa said as she bit the green apple and leaned on one of the four pillars that surrounded the altar of resurrection.
"Do you have any idea what I can do"
"Don't you have a plan in mind? No matter how hard you try. You can not dodge his sword. It's faster than the speed of light."
"I have to be more careful from now on since I can now lose experience points when I die...let's go," Leon said to Tessa who followed him. They didn't head to the castle, they headed to the outskirts of the castle.
[Party request from player: Tessa lv.75 accepted]
Over the past four months in the game, Leon had not just been dying trying to figure out how to dodge Knight Finduilas' attack, he also took time to hunt monsters so he could level up and increase his stats. But the monsters were thirty levels higher than him, which is why he partied with Tessa who could handle them. But being in a battle gave him a lot of experience points and the item drops too were satisfactory. His inventory was filled with many mysterious things he didn't know how to use.

'I'm levelling up, but I can't feel any growth. Thanks to training with Lia, my base stat was quite good but my growth rate seems so slow all of a sudden. And even though I can fuse skills, it's not working, I've been trying to fuse the Moonlit when fighting these monsters but it's not working. It's like I've hit a dead-end and that dead-end is that stupid yellow Knight. After this death, I will finally be able to learn his skill though...' Leon grinned at the thought of it.
"Whatever you are happy for it better be dodging Knight Finduilas' attack," Tessa added.
"Why are you helping me?" Leon asked her suddenly.
"...I've been in this territory for a year now. Most people are uninterested because of one of the sword gods, but because of my profession advancement quest, he accepted me. Since then I've been helping out while trying to figure out my profession advancement quest, I've seen players come and go. But you are very different, there's an unreasonable and unexplainable tenacity that you have. Instead of you focusing on other things. There are probably tons of Quests to receive from the people, but you are hell-bent on entering the castle. Why?"
'That's because I need to learn that killer move and the rest of his move that makes him one of the seven strongest in the entire continent' Leon smiled. "You must have a good profession if you were exempted out by him because of your profession quest," Leon said.
"This is not about me don't try to dodge my question," Tessa said.
"I can't tell you the reason, at least not until I'm sure of your intentions"
"I see, so you are that type, well good luck," she said and left Leon alone in the woods.
Leon tapped the skill tab on his character profile.
