"Now the second most important thing to do," I muttered to myself as I scrolled down through my contacts list.
I'm currently heading toward my apartment after I left the cafe.
The deal I made with Isabella went better than I thought of course she is going to ask her father's permission since those matters of life and death after all.
I only met Dereack Evergreen once but I can't tell from one meeting that he is a very big daughter con, so if something wrong happened to his older daughter he would be killed right on the spot.
But I know that nothing wrong will happen. So there is no need to worry about that. Content orıginally comes from 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵⟡𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⟡𝓷𝓮𝓽
What I should worry about is my potion. I need a potion very urgently!
At Silva City, I had almost used most of the potion and I'm sure need more potion that's why I'm currently contacting Isla, my potion maker salve!
"Ah, Here found it," I said as I found the contact of Isla and called her.
-Ring, -Ring, -Ring! -Click!
-Ah, Sorry I forgot about your existence.
'This bit-' I stop myself before I curse her.
-So what do you want?
Ignoring Isla's casual rudeness, I continued, "I need a batch of potions, Isla. Urgently."
She scoffed on the other end of the line,
-Urgently, huh? Do you think I just sit around brewing potions for your convenience?
"Did you forget that we have signed a contract, if you forget then I will help you to remember it, the contract was that if my information saved your father's company then you would make a free potion for me, now do you remember? " I replied to her so she would remember our contract.
There was a brief silence on the other end, and then Isla sighed,
-Alright, I remember. But you're pushing it with this 'urgent' request.
"Sorry about that Isala but I need urgently," I need potions urgently.
"Well, I guess it can't be helped. Fine, give me the details of what you need," she grumbled.
I quickly provided Isla with the details of the potions I required, emphasizing the urgency.
"Remember, Lucas don't try to order me around. This time I will let you get away from this," Isla warned before ending the call.
"She is a piece of work," I muttered as I reached to door of the apartment. There I saw a package.
My eyes widened as soon as saw the package, it was a defence sword art manual that I and Isabella ordered online before going to SilvaCity.
Usually anything you will order online will deliver to the next day but because I have to go silva city so I couldn't pickup.
And after returning from there I mostly forget about this.
After picking up the pakge I opened the door and went inside of my apartment and quickly opend the Manuel.
The manual looked like it had just been freshly copied, with no creases or stains on it.
It had to be noted that it was not that easy to make a copy of a manual.
Because for obvious reasons guilds were trying to minimize the circulation of manuals, a lot of procedures had to be taken before being allowed to make a copy of a manual.
It had to be approved by a vast majority of the board members and the guild master, and this was especially hard since a lot of the members were conservative people that hated sharing things with outsiders.
But some Manuel can be fined online but there prices will be ten times of the guild one and because of that not many people would be higher tier martial manuel.
But I have lots of money now so I could buy it esliye.
I picked up the Manuel and placed it on my forehead, the Manuel disappeared as soon it touched my head.
Immediately I felt my mind turn blank as a flood of information rushed into my mind.
I felt like my head going to split in two but I managed to held in the pain and endured it.
By the time I managed to sort out all of the information inside of my brain I was gasping for breath.
Anyway the hardest part is done now let's see my new sword art.
Sword Art :- [Grade 3:- Phalanx Guardian Form] Phalanx Guardian Form allows the user to create an impenetrable barrier with their sword, capable of withstanding powerful attacks. The defensive stance provides enhanced protection against both physical and magical assaults, making it a formidable choice for those prioritizing defence in combat.
First Defence Movement:- The first level,Phalanx Guardian Form, created a ring in the air that acted as a shield. How strong its defense was depended on the degree of mastery of the sword art. ]
"That's it? I thought there would be more defence sword move but I guess this is it." I muttered to myself as I read the information of [Phalanx Guardian Form].
Unlike the [Celestial Perry] which had 4 move, [Phalanx Guardian Form] had only one move.
With the freshly acquired [Phalanx Guardian Form], I couldn't help but feel a tinge of disappointment at the limited defence capabilities. However, recognizing the utility of a potent defensive stance, especially in critical moments, I decided to delve into its intricacies.
I stood in the center of my apartment, mentally rehearsing the first movement of [Phalanx Guardian Form]. Visualizing the creation of the protective ring, I raised my sword, attempting to replicate the defensive structure described in the manual.
A transparent ring materialized in the air, encircling me. It held an ethereal glow, indicating its defensive potential. Intrigued, I tried to assess its solidity by gently poking it with the hilt of my sword.
To my surprise, the ring resisted my touch, firm and unyielding. A grin crept across my face as I considered the tactical advantages this defensive stance could offer in various scenarios.
"Now, let's test its endurance," I muttered to myself, preparing for a more rigorous evaluation.
I unsheathed a spare sword and swung it at the defensive ring with controlled force. The blade made contact, and for a moment, the defensive structure held strong, deflecting the strike.
Impressed, I continued to test its limits, increasing the intensity of my attacks. The defensive ring remained resolute, proving its effectiveness against a variety of strikes.
Satisfied with the initial assessment, I decided to explore the offensive potential of [Phalanx Guardian Form]. The manual hinted at the ability to counterattack while maintaining a defensive posture.
I adjusted my stance, focusing on the second aspect of [Phalanx Guardian Form]. As I did, a surge of energy coursed through my sword, imbuing it with a defensive aura.
Now equipped with the knowledge and skills of [Phalanx Guardian Form], I felt a newfound confidence in my martial abilities. The defensive prowess it offered would undoubtedly be a valuable asset in future encounters, providing a solid foundation for both offense and defense.
