“…Crazy.”
Every weapon has its own rhythm and form.
When a massive greatsword, asuring 130 to 150 cm in length, swings, people feel a sense of intimidation. Every ti the tip of the blade cuts through the air, the space montarily fills with a silver hue before fading away. It’s like a giant killing zone that appears and vanishes in an instant.
When a poleaxe, flail, or mace, larger than a human, is swung, fear fills the minds of those who witness it. Every ti it ruthlessly tears through the air, they automatically imagine how much force is packed into the weapon.
When a long rapier slashes through the air repeatedly, people feel elegance. After creating an opening with a musket in their left hand, they watch as the pointed blade slips through the gaps in the armor, and they automatically associate it with grace.
So here’s the problem.
What if it were two daggers?
“Argh-!”
“Damn, this person’s too fast!”
“Cough…!”
Elegance.
It wasn’t that it was beyond sight. As she had ntioned, her physical abilities were under reverse correction at the mont – but that didn’t an Eugene had been brought down to the level of all the other Glory and Honor users.
In the midst of a close-quarters battle with exactly eleven other people tangled up, she dashed around, dodging incoming weapons as if she had eyes on every part of her body. She attacked only vital areas that, if struck, would severely affect the opponent’s ability to survive.
Ankles.
Wrists.
Armpit gaps.
Eyes.
Inner thighs.
Unprotected areas of armor.
Each ti the two daggers, glowing faintly with green and purple hues, sliced through the air in curves, screams echoed from sowhere, and the enemies on the ground started increasing in number. Those who fell were usually sent straight to the respawn window by follow-up strikes from her allies.
After about five minutes of successful combat, Eugene sat down on the empty floor of B, where there were no enemies, to recover the stamina she had depleted. The minions that had respawned around her continued to fight, but she paid them no mind.
What could she say to break the silence? One of her allies, a knight, spoke up, asking a question.
“…I’ve never seen that fighting style in Glory and Honor before. Is that how you fight with daggers?”
“Curious?”
“…Uh, I’m not saying I want to try it… Yeah. I’m just curious.”
A small chuckle escaped Eugene.
But no answer ca. Still, sohow, I felt like I understood what she ant – unlike the usual cold weapons, where even a simple swing could deal decent damage, the dagger was a weapon specifically ant for… stabbing.
The areas to stab were also unconventional. Every part of the body was a weak spot, and even in the midst of a chaotic battle, she accurately targeted only areas that could incapacitate, cause a quick kill, or trigger massive blood loss.
That ant one simple thing.
…She must’ve learned it.
And learned it professionally.
In real life.
In that regard, she was likely better versed in anatomical knowledge than anyone else in the room. She knew exactly where to stab to disable soone, and exactly where to strike to turn a person into a lifeless corpse in an instant.
The human body, while easily wounded, was just as tenacious.
Moreover, Glory and Honor didn’t officially support action assists for dagger fighting. This ant that unlike the official classes, which supported strong and light attacks and various other motions, you had to navigate the fight using your own body alone.
Though after years of players’ efforts, so user-created modes had been integrated into the official ga, the dagger, especially dual-wielding, was a brutal path to take. Even long-ti players of Glory and Honor had never seen soone focus solely on daggers in the ga.
The initial doubt about trusting Eugene was not without reason.
Of course, that had changed now.
As the tide of the battle moved closer to victory, an ally approached Eugene, who was leaning against a wall.
His face seed to expect sothing.
“…Are you, by chance, streaming?”
“That’s not it.”
“Oh…”
“But I do plan on doing it in a few days. I’m not sure if I should call it howork, but I was asked to do an ad.”
At that mont, his face instantly brightened.
The reason was simple: the influx of new players. Glory and Honor wasn’t unpopular. If it had been, it wouldn’t have maintained a top 3-4 ranking in VR ga charts. However, the ga that had never once dropped from first place… Dark Zone was still holding strong.
Since the draft system was still in place, nearly every man in South Korea had at least held a rifle once, which helped lower the entry barrier for the ga. On the other hand, how many people had ever swung a massive greatsword in their lifeti?
In grand terms, they were thirsty for fresh new players who would co through Eugene’s streams.
With a bright smile visible even from behind his helt, one of them extended his hand to Eugene.
“You really are the best, sir.”
“…Suddenly?”
Of course, Eugene would never understand why they were doing this, not now or ever.
The Domination Mode ga, which had been long awaited, ended with Eugene’s team securing a decisive victory.
