Chapter 22
"Alright so it looks like we are allowed 4 skills in an advanced class." Aaron discovered.
"'I'll work on getting a Twin Rumble." Zetsu said.
"I'll try and get Blaster." Aaron chose looking at his option of skills.
"Alright. But I don't want to use these until we fight our rivals. I want this to be a secret. It'll be a nice surprise for everyone." Zetsu smiled at the thought of him being praised like a legend he wants to be.
"Alright. Then let's get to it." Aaron said as the 2 went off to go train for floor 4.
"Alright my first attempt for this skill." Zetsu focused all his strength and his blades started to glow deep red. A sudden wave of spinning slashes and straight slashes were sent flying at the nearby Lotus. But half way the skills were too fast and left Zetsu unbalanced and unable to use the whole skill which made him fall to the ground.
"Tsk." Zetsu said upset.
"Blaster." Aaron shot the move but not knowing its full power. The blast had a soft glow and fired at the weakened Lotus killing it. But the force was stronger than the Blow Chain and sent Aaron in the air to the water.
"Ow… This skill is the same as the Blow Chain but all explosives rolled into just one with extra force." Aaron complained yet impressed with the blow.
"But it's slow to use." Zetsu smired
"Still very strong. I'll fire it faster." Aaron said annoyed that he was mocked.
"Alright. We don't have much time so let's get serious and actually learn these moves. When we do there will be NO WAY that Kyrin and Ketsin will beat us." Zetsu said in great confidence with this new power he is about to gain.
"Yea. I want payback for their attack. And for tarnishing our pride." Aaron said with a bit of anger in his tone.
A sudden burst of bubbles came at Aaron but the gunslinger saw it coming and quickly used Wide Fang.
"Wide Fang! It'll take more than that to beat us now." Aaron grinned.
The striding bullets popped the bubbles but kept going and hit the Tartarga.
"Twin Rumble!" The Assassin came quickly and used its attacks but in the middle of the attack Zetsu got too dizzy and fell again. But the strike given was more than enough to defeat the Tartarga.
"Tsk. Again!" Zetsu shouted.
The 2 soldiers have fought the monsters 1 by 1 trying to master their new skill.
3 hour later
"WE DID IT!" Zetsu shouted in joy.
"Me too." Aaron smiled in his accomplishment.
"I even know how to manipulate the skill so I can dodge and block while using this skill!" Zetsu said proudly.
"I can shoot this skill much quicker with barely any pushback." Aaron said.
Alright we have have some time left. Let's practice some more." Zetsu suggested.
"Alright." Aaron said as he left to go train even more.
Meanwhile with Ric and Lux
"KEEP AT IT! WE CAN DO IT!" Lloyd shouted as sent healing skills at Ric and Lux.
"We won't let any of you guys passed us. We will hold you back!" Ric shouted trying to hold off as many enemies as he could.
"Claw Bite. Raven Dagger." Lux continued a barrage of strikes at the enemies.
"We can do it! They're starting to die off!"
"DON'T LET THOSE 2 FOOLS HOLD YOU BACK LIKE THIS!" A voice said in the background.
"Ric and Lux will die at this rate. We need to do something but what?" Neko said worried…
