    Rui bade him goodbye before sky-walking away. The de made out of Tethered Bellhorn Steel was one of his solutions to the problem of the monsters that he hoped to handle with Project Monster Repent.


    He hadmissioned a single-handed curved sword with a de fashioned out of Tethered Bellhorn Steel. The reason for this kind of de was rather simple, he would likely be putting himself in a situation where he would be facing multiple threats omnidirectionally, thus he needed a de whose application was flexible and versatile and could be rapidly adjusted to fit his situation.


    In this regard, shing was a more desirable means of attacking than stabbing or thrusting. The former was much more flexible as it had arge number of directions and angles of attack, and was lessmittal allowing the swordsman to return back to a guarded stance swiftly and easily. Stabbing and thrusting were more lethal, yet also required moremitment from the swordsman.


    Thetter style of swordbat was unfit for the circumstances of the Shionel Dungeon. He could not focus onmitting everything to a sure-shot way of killing a single opponent when his goal was to cope with the monsters in a situation where he would be facing many, not just one. Furthermore, he did not need tomit too much inflicting damage why thrusting thanks to the presence of the cooled Tethered Bellhorn Steel de that would magnify the damage his attack inflicted on the monster tremendously.


    Thus Rui decided to go for a basic shing-oriented sword style. Furthermore, he wanted to minimize themitment that he gave as far as his body went when wielding it, thus he decided tomission single-handed curved swords that were meant to be wielded by a single arm and were suited towards shing rather than stabbing or thrusting.


    He had even ordered a special scabbardced on the inside with a rare esoteric that constantly had a standard temperature many degrees below the freezing point of water. Even when heated, it would seemingly vite the Zerothw of thermodynamics and lose heat to its surroundings before reaching its standard temperature.


    Thus he had a natural cooling system for the Tethered Bellhorn Steel de, allowing him to ensure that it had a low temperature that was needed to obtain the reaction that he was hoping for.


    That was his first solution against the monsters. He had already begun training in basic swinging forms for the de with a replica whose size, shape, and mass distribution of the set of des that he wasmissioning.


    He knew his limits, of course. He was not arrogant enough to believe that he could master swordsmanship in a matter of months. Swordsmanship was a field deep and vast enough to be qualified to be the Martial Paths of Martial Artists.


    However, he had no intention of mastering the in a matter of months, what he was subjecting himself to was basically the Martial Foundation Stage equivalent of swords. He needed to make sure that, at the very least, his fundamental maneuvers with the sword were solid.


    The rest he could make up for to a great extent with the VOID algorithm which would allow him to predict monsters with remarkable uracy and depth, while his elementary and basic adaptive-evolution model would allow him to appropriately deal with them. Even if thetter was primitive inparison to the adaptive evolution model that he developed for unarmed humans, it still allowed him to make decisions quicker than if he had to process and make a choice each time.C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.


    However, he also was nning to bank on Primordial Instinct which would help him test whether a counter is good or bad.


    These were the measures he hade up with for Project Monster Repent. The unique thing about this project was that, for the first time, he would be creating a technique that wasn''t actually a technique, not truly. Technically it was, but it wasn''t something he would ever use again after the Shionel Dungeon raid, realistically.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    On top of that, he was not interested in pursuing swordsmanship. It wasn''t that he particrly disliked it, it was just that it required exclusivemitment for the most part.


    Once one picked up the sword, all of one''sbat was centered around it. He would not be able to perform unarmed attacks anywhere nearly as well with a swordpared to without it. Punching and kicking became far more constrained when holding a sword since merely holding it was detrimental to the kind of bnce and maneuvering needed for unarmed attacks.


    He could effectively forget grappling if he ever decided to pursue swordsmanship. The number of times two swordsmen ever got into a wrestling match in the middle of a fight could probably be counted on one hand.


    Every other field became much harder to use if he pursued swordsmanship. It was because of this demand for exclusivity that he could never pursue the de seriously.


    That still did not mean that he was against the mastery of weapons in general, just not swordsmanship and simr weapons that demanded an exclusivemitment to them. He did not mind a smaller weapon that could be used in conjugation with his existing unarmed-based techniques.


    However, he had not felt the need to adopt such a weapon, nor had hee across a weapon that would suit his Flowing Void Martial Art.


    For the purpose of fulfilling the difficult goal of exploring and plundering the entirety of the Shionel Dungeon before all other forces, he was willing to adopt the sword for a limited amount of time.


    Yet that was not the only weapon he had readied.


    STEP


    Hended in front of the Martial Union.


    (''Time to procure the other ''weapon'' that I havemissioned,'') He thought to himself with an eager smile.


    He quickly passed through the security check-ins before heading straight towards themercial wing of the Union branch, walking over to one specific store.
