Frey scurried through the open grassy plains as she initiated a skill: [ Blitz Fist ]. Quickly, she attacked two wild beasts within the area, swiftly knocking them back.
Following up with an attack, Frey stepped forward as she clenched her hands, quickly turning them into fists. In the next mont, she struck the two wild beasts that were knocked back with a heavy force on her side.
[ Frontal Collision ] [ 60 MP ] [ Cooldown: 7 Minutes ]
Clench one's fist as you throw a heavy force over towards the enemy, quickly bursting forth 550% physical damage.
*When the attack hits an enemy's weak point, the attack deals 100% more damage.
Successfully connecting the attack with the previous skill, the two wild beasts quickly turned into grey ash.
"Easy peasy!" Frey cheered as she turned towards Shinto who was standing behind her, staring blankly at the spot where two monsters once stood.
Shinto blinked twice at the scene as he looked towards Frey, "Hey Frey... Did you had to recklessly jump into battle like that?"
"Huh? Oh right! Sorry, I got too excited that I just jumped straight at the nearest monster I found aha..."
"Sigh, anyways at least you got out in one piece. Though it's to be expected since they were just common enemies."
"Yeah, so it's A-okay! But... Since their common enemies, they are too easy!"
"...Well, we are in the beginner's area. If we continue from here, we should be heading into areas where monsters within the twenties to thirties appear."
"Oh really?! Then let's head there then! I'm way too pumped for battle right now, I need to fight sothing strong, I need so sort of challenge!"
"Ahem... Did the earlier fight you watched really get you all this pumped up?"
"Of course!" Excitent shone in Frey's eyes, "If you had been there from the start, you would know! That swordsman guy was so amazing with his moves! Sa goes with that brawler, ah, I wish I can connect combos after combos like him!"
"It was that amazing huh...?" Shinto said as he thought to himself he suddenly realized sothing, "Wait? Is this why you've been recklessly using skill after skill in battles?"
"Mhm!"
Shinto coughed at the answer that Frey gave, "...I see." He helplessly sighed, "Well I get your enthusiasm, but using your skills recklessly seems a bit too unnecessary."
"Huh? You think so? I wasn't using my skills recklessly though! I was practising!"
"Practicing...? Wait... How is that practising?"
"Well duh! Practising combos like how that guy did it! He used skills after skills, so I was trying to mimic him!"
"...No, that's not how he did it."
"Eh? What?!"
"He didn't constantly use skills after skills, though I'm not sure about the start of the battle, however, from what I saw at the end, that guy was managing his resources. He was mixing in normal attacks in between skills while chaining when attacking that swordsman."
"Oh really?! I didn't notice! Wait... how did you even notice it?"
"Well, that's because the skills he used have almost the sa attack animation as basic. With so slight difference of animation here and there, when using the earlier skills like your 'Blitz Fist', the attack animation is nearly identical, the only way you can identify the difference is the interval between attacks."
"Ah... I see! So it ans, I've got to mix in normal attacks when trying to do combos? That sounds complicated..."
"Not really. Just manage your timings and resources and you'll have a good flow with you during battle."
"Is it that important?"
"Of course. When fighting, always keep an eye on the consumption of your skills. The cooldown of skills, the MP usage and its effects, otherwise... You may fall into a predicant."
"Ahhh...! Trying to process all this information hurts... Can we just go and fight?!"
"Yeah, yeah. You'll co to naturally do these as you play more, so there's no rush."
"Alrighty then, so shall we head into the level twenties area?"
"E-Eh...? Wait... No, that's a bad idea..."
"Huh? Why not?! I need a challenge!"
"Err... We're not even in the tens yet... so we'll be wiped out instantly."
"Then what do we do then?!"
"Well, we could stay here and grind or..."
"Or?"
"We could go to a dungeon?"
"A dungeon! Ah, why didn't I think of that? Let's go there this instant!" Frey shouted in excitent as she rushed forward. Soon after, she abruptly stops as she nervously turned around, "Um... Where is the dungeon?"
"Aha... then let's head to Old Wood Forest Cavern, It's through the forest that we were at last night."
"Alrighty then! Let's go!"
...
The two made their way through the forest as they stopped in front of a dark caveOld Wood Forest Cavern, a level five to seven dungeon. As the na implies, it is a cave where nature takes it root, many sorts of plant-like monsters populate the area, though not only that, herbivore beasts lay rest in the dungeon as well.
"Alright, we're here," Shinto said as he scanned the area, seeing many sorts of newbie players around, like them, they ca to enter the dungeon.
"Level six archer looking for a party!"
"Level five priest here! Please take with you!"
"I'm a newbie, please donate!"
All kinds of shouts could be heard from every corner, Frey who was looking around turned towards Shinto as she said, "Wow... There's a lot of people here..."
"Yep. This is, after all, a known newbie dungeon around here, so of course, there would be many people around."
"So like... Do we search for a party like everyone else?"
"Nope, we can just go in."
"Eh?! Isn't this a dungeon though?"
"It is. But, don't you want a challenge? The two of us can manage." Shinto said, although it'll be better to find more party mbers to enter the dungeon, it's unnecessary. Shinto and Frey could manage to duo the dungeon without much trouble and because of Shinto's class, it'll be better to have fewer people know about it, so finding party mbers would be a hassle.
"Right! A challenge! I'm all hyped up! Then let's go, let's go!" Frey jumped up in excitent as she entered the dungeon, leaving Shinto behind.
"H-Hey...! Wait up!" Shinto hurriedly scurried over towards Frey, following behind.
