Rise Online: Return of the Legendary Player

"I haven't told you what my class is, have I? Let's see if you can find out with a little demonstration." Andrew stated confidently.

Kaizen arched an eyebrow, curious about Andrew's class and eager to see what he was capable of. He watched as Andrew positioned himself, emanating an aura of confidence as he deftly drew his sword.

The tiger monster advanced fiercely toward them, roaring with fury. Kaizen and Andrew moved in sync, avoiding the monster's swift onslaught at the same time.

Andrew displayed his agility and dexterity, sliding backward elegantly as the blade of his sword revealed itself, coming out of its sheath.

The blade glittered as Andrew wielded it, revealing a distinct and special appearance. It was a sword with a unique curvature. Kaizen watched with fascination as Andrew deftly swung the sword forward, preparing to counterattack the tiger monster. His stance was firm and confident.

The tiger monster advanced again with its sharp claws and menacing teeth ready to attack Andrew. But before it could reach Andrew, something incredible happened.

Andrew made a fast and fluid movement. His body moved in harmony with his sword and his sword glowed as if on fire. Each precise stroke was executed with elegance.

Kaizen was impressed by Andrew's mastery, even though his movements seemed a bit slow.

Andrew's sword left a trail in the air as it struck the monster's vital points with devastating blows. And when finally the tiger monster fell before Andrew's subsequent attacks, it instantly began to crumble.

Kaizen looked at Andrew with his arms crossed and said:

"Let me guess.... You are an Arcane Warrior."

Andrew's reaction to Kaizen's first guess was one of complete surprise. He opened his mouth, stunned, and then smiled. "Man, you hit the nail on the head. How did you know?"

"I have to confess, the sword glowing white was what gave it away. There are few classes that can do that."

"I knew that would give it away. And I still avoided using my arcane shield so as not to make it too obvious. Anyway, you are a very good analyst."

"Thank you..." Kaizen thanked him, looking away as he glanced at Andrew's attribute window that he could see with <Analyzer Eye>.

"Anyway, let's get going. I bet we'll find more Sabre Tooth Tigers if we keep going deeper into these woods." Kaizen said, following a small trail that could be seen on the ground.

Andrew nodded, carefully putting away his sword before following Kaizen down the trail.

The woods were lush and full of life, with tall trees that formed a green roof above them. The soft sound of the wind between the leaves created a serene atmosphere.

As they advanced, their steps were careful, watching for any sign of movement in the surrounding vegetation. They knew that the encounter with the tiger monster was not an isolated coincidence. Other challenges and creatures awaited them in the hunting area.

The trail snaked deeper into the woods, leading them into a darker, more mysterious environment. The sun's rays could barely penetrate the dense cover of trees, creating a soft, diffuse illumination. Lush vegetation surrounded them, and the air was infused with the fresh scent of nature.

"This place is really strange." commented Kaizen, looking around in awe. "I'm used to hunting areas where monsters pop up all the time."

Andrew smiled and agreed. "I don't know... Maybe some clan is gathered somewhere nearby and they are killing so that the spawn rate has decreased to other regions."

A little tense, Kaizen nodded. "Yeah, maybe that's it."

As they moved deeper into the hunting area, the trail became narrower and more winding. The rough terrain added an element of challenge to their journey. They jumped over rocks and dodged protruding roots, keeping a watchful eye on their every step.

"I have to admit, you are stronger than I thought you would be," Kaizen said, his playful gaze fixed on Andrew.

Andrew laughed and nodded. "The impression is mutual, my friend. What level are you on?"

Kaizen was a little afraid to say, but spoke the truth. "I'm at level 110, almost at 111, how about you?"

"I just moved up to level 102."

·ƈθm As they talked, once again the sudden silence of the forest fell over the room, interrupting their lively exchange of words. Their steps became more cautious, and they felt an intense energy in the air, a sense that something extraordinary was about to happen.

Suddenly, a deafening roar echoed through the surroundings, causing them both to stiffen. They looked around, trying to identify the source of the sound.

Then, from within the dense vegetation, a truly colossal monster emerged, causing the surrounding trees to fall. Its scales glowed with a bluish hue, reflecting the sunlight in a mesmerizing way. Its sharp claws and sinister fangs indicated that it was a formidable opponent. He was a mixture of a giant bear and a reptile.

Kaizen and Andrew exchanged glances, their hearts racing with excitement and adrenaline.

"That one's mine!" said Kaizen as he pulled the Able Fury Spear from the inventory. "Don't even try to steal my prey!"

Kaizen nodded, taking his right hand off the sword handle and crossing both arms. "I want to see exactly what a blacksmith can do, Klaus."
