Chapter 50: Tier 4 Skills

Inside his private training area, Alix stands before a reinforced training dummy, gripping his sword tightly. The air around him hums with mana as he focuses, adjusting his stance.

He takes a deep breath. Tier 4 skills are on a completely different level… His muscles tense as he prepares to strike.

"[Phantom Blade]!" he calls out.

His sword flickers out of existence for a brief moment before reappearing mid-swing, slashing cleanly through the air. The attack is nearly invisible, its speed overwhelming. The dummy remains intact for a second—then, with a faint shimmer, deep gashes appear along its frame.

Alix exhales. Fast, but still not fluid enough.

He shifts his grip and moves into his next technique.

"[Rift Step]!"

His figure vanishes in a blur, reappearing behind the dummy in an instant.
