Chapter 49 Eagle Style Sword Art
After hours of tirelessly walking. We are finally in the central area of the forest. The monsters in the middle area are quite difficult to deal with.
Not because of their strength. C Ranks won't be able to get me serious now because of my strength. But that only applied when they are 1-20. It's different if their number exceeded 100. And that's what we experience in the middle area. The endless beast fearlessly charge at us even though they know that they would die.
We are nearly exhausted to death. Thankfully, my newly bought armor showed its prowess. Although the sun can't boost me because of the thick trees that are surrounding us. Nonetheless, even without it, the toughness and basic stats alone help me to tank most of the lethal attacks of the monsters.
Voli's state is the best amongst us. Because of his strong defense and crazy offensive. Any beast that came near him would be ravaged.
Albert also performed exceptionally. He would even talk to me about the monsters while he was fighting. His experience and skill are undeniable. He almost one-shot all the monsters using their weaknesses. For an old man like him, his stamina is commendable.
The only unfortunate thing that I discovered is. Wild beast and monster with strength ranging from F to C won't give me exp anymore. B rank would give me a minuscule amount. Only A rank and above would help me to fill up my exp bar now. I think that it was due to the huge gap in strength that I can't get exp anymore.
So, this is my current stats now...

Swordsmanship is the lowest because it was combat oriented. Furthermore, the basic skills have a cap of 100 while the swordsmanship level cap is level 25. Every level of swordsmanship is a huge improvement.
Lvl 1 swordsmanship- You can inflict severe damage to trees.
Lvl 2 swordsmanship- Your casual swings can cut a big tree in a half.
Lvl 3 swordsmanship- Your casual attacks can now cut boulders, while your strongest attack can put a hole in a mountain.
Lvl 4 swordsmanship- Your casual attack can now produce pressure with the infusion of Degu.
Lvl 5 swordsmanship- The speed of your attacks would be multiplied by 300%. The casual swing of your sword can divide a mountain. The strongest attack could even split an entire island.
That's why when I said that my swordsmanship had reached the level of Dracule Mihawk. I'm not kidding... Imagine the leap of the strength of every level. What about level 17? Could you split a whole country apart?? Well, I'm really getting excited.
This is also the reason that I barely use my sword anymore. And even if I used it, I would try to hold back my attack with all my might. Because a fucking casual attack can even divide a mountain. Wouldn't that ruin our beloved environment? I decided to use my sword only on worthy opponents. For now, let's fight how a real man should be. Fist-to-fist fights are a man's true romance!
I'm trying to level up my swordsmanship to 6. But it's so difficult. I encountered a bottleneck. All I could do now is polish it. My A lvl talent isn't enough. Only by upgrading my talent to S can I level up my swordsmanship to level 6 or 10.
You can see by this how frightening Voli's defense really is. Even in the S rank, it would be in the peak nearing SS rank. With my strongest attack. average S Rankers would be fatally wounded. Well, that's them without using degu energy to enhance their defense though.
Seeing Voli suddenly tap me with his paw, I stopped and looked at him.
*Wooo*
While making strange sounds that I can't understand. I looked at his nose which is currently twitching as if he was sniffing.
Albert motioned at me to stop and says. "Legendary beasts are known for their extreme senses. What Voli wants to say is. There's a lot of enemy in the distance."
I was speechless at them. So he also understands the language of beasts!? Hmm... It looks like I need to study this. Well with my talent, it's only a matter of time right?
"Let's go, I want to see how far I can fight them using my full strength."
Thinking of the incoming exps. I couldn't wait any longer. The faster that I level up my swordsmanship, the more assurance I would have when the day that I must fight Jackson comes.
"Shhh!" I motioned them to stop. I hid myself behind the bush and used my perception to its fullest to scan the area.
"I sensed strong presences 15 meters from us," I reminded them.
Albert looked serious and asked. "How many are there?"
"3 B ranks, and 3 A ranks," I answered.
"Well, good enough" He smiled.
Readying myself for the incoming battle. I equipped my sword.
"Your aura suddenly changed after you hold a sword," Albert commented while feeling my change.
I smiled at him and says. "Let's see how these monsters would hold against my full strength"
I channeled my strength at my feet in a controlled manner and vanished.
I saw the beast in front of me. Three of them are white tigers that were now looking vigilantly at me.
'As expected of A ranks, they can still keep up with my speed!'
While the B ranks are gorillas that have rocky abs on them. Their pupils look like a violet Sapphire.
"Eagle Style: Claw of the sky!" I channeled 2% of my degu towards my sword and made a slashing motion.
*Boom!*
The slash which has the shape of an eagle claw broke the sound barrier, deafening throughout the Central Area. The nearby beasts fled in panic and the trees were shaken.
I looked at the aftermath of my attack that the system claimed could slash an entire mountain into two.
In the previous place of Gorillas are pieces of raw meat. Blood is scattered in the surroundings. The three white tigers were now looking at the 100-meter pit on the ground with the shape of an eagle claw.
I was amazed while looking at the destruction my casual attack has caused. Eagle Style is the self-created sword art that perfectly suits me. It lets me unleash my deep insights in sword and fuse them into my style.
