Unwavering spear [1]

[Status: A special requirement has been triggered!!!

Trigger: Drawback - A weapon is nothing but an extension of one's body, though there are strengths it comes with weaknesses. A spear that harbors brutality and agility, whilst having much more freedom compared to a sword

Restriction: You're currently incapable of using any form of weapon, skill, and item which will easily decide your match. The only skills which aren't affected are [Twillight arts] but their effects have been nerfed. This debuff will disappear upon your victory or the host were to die

Requirement: You've met an overqualified adversary for the growth requirement!!! Beat your opponent and your weapon shall finally awaken]

"Return!!!" With a single word the spear that he previously flung appeared within his palms, and he charges with no signs of hesitation

'Full frontal charge? Looks like his thinking of ending this with a single move... But at his pace, it'll be harder to control his thrust~'

He already went and changed his stance so that he could easily receive and counter Sakkari's attack. But for a split second, the outcome of their onslaught took a drastic change. Neon was bewildered when he felt that unshakable feeling of the hands of death reaching for his life. His sword reacted with his sheer instinct and he only suffered three threatening cuts inlaid in his flesh

"Y-You survive that!!?" Sakkari was surprised and instead of backing down and recovering his breath he charges once more

'Shit!!! This guy's out for blood!!'

Without most, of his skill triggering and even his specials abilities locked he was comparable to a caged vermin. Sakkari's never-ending thrust slowly pressured his body and most of his attacks went through his blade. But before his attack would connect to another series of movements, Neon interrupts the flow of his continuous onslaught

[System: The skill [Midnight stride] has been activated!!!

Status: The skills special effect has been triggered!!! In the dusk of night, its effects will be increased by 50%]

"Spatial precognition... What a rare trait to be born with for a Glazerus!!! In a limited space within your body, you can see the flow of time before it occurs. Am I correct?" With his secret coming to light, Sakkari was distracted, and he didn't realize Neon's foot

His foot reach his ankle and he imparted a perfectly aimed kick which disturbs his overall movement. The shock of his attacks disoriented him for a brief moment which was enough for his sword to reach the surface of his flesh. But never did he predict an item would trigger at the exact time of his greatest moment

[Alert: One of the items your opponent carries has been triggered!!!

[Lifeline shield]: This shield will appear if the host's existence is being threatened!!! Anything close to the wielder will be caught in a powerful knockback. Cooldown: 24 hours]

When he opened his eyes, he found himself in a crater located directly to the walls of the museum. And the first thing he did was move, it was faint but he heard an approaching projectile at such an incredible speed. Every corner of the crater was brought down and he sees the same spear disappear and return to the palm of his adversary

"You're not as simple as the ones I've hunted down. I'll be honest with you, you've got some talent but there's no way you'll escape from my grasp~ Arrrgghhh!!!" Sakkari's chest would open after he hurled his enormous spear with much greater force than he can hold

He wasn't able to fully escape Neon's counter-attack. Even though he sent him to the walls his item's effect only lasted for an instant and soon after disappeared without a trace. It was a gamble that Neon magnificently won. Upon the disappearance of Sakkari's shield, his delayed spell was released. It fired a round of shadow spheres in the time when Sakkari was at his most vulnerable moment when he flung his spear

[Status: Your natural regenerative capabilities have been triggered!!! Your deep cuts have been treated. The status effect 'Bleed' has disappeared, and your condition has been stabilized]

'What the fuck is such a talent wasting his life as a fucking guard captain...? This man... Does he even know how rare of a trait he was born with? Spatial precognition is second to Foresight which allows a Glazerus to peak through the upcoming future events,'

'That settles it, I thought about using him as nothing more than a trigger for my sword's awakening, but he's too precious! No matter what, I need him for my journey, and I still have that option if he chose not to comply. There's a high chance that I wouldn't bat an eye and use the most fucked up skill I have in my arsenal,'

"Your underhanded tricks won't work for the second time. Now come you insolent prick, I'll place a chain in your neck once im done playing. Twilight arts, One with darkness..." After he uttered his chant, his presence along with his aura was nowhere to be found

[Twilight arts:

(One with darkness) Disappearing footwork - The caster will be temporarily transformed into a state of absolute darkness bestowing him to merge with the shadows. If this skill was cast in the night or anywhere untouched by the ray of the sun you'll become temporarily undetectable. Once 15 seconds have passed your form will be disclosed as a living shadow]

But not every fiber of his existence had ceased to exist in the world. Malice that came from every swing, and every killing intent would appear. Even if his opponent wields a sword, there's no telling if he never possesses any long-range skill. He learned that in their previous brawl where he took several attacks directly aimed at his chest

"Show yourself you terroristic piece of shit!!!" Sakkari's aura soon blew everything in his path and his spear was engulfed with his aura and transforms into radiating lance

Neon's invisibility reached its end and there he releases his aura which engulf the very fiber of his blade. The dark element of his aura crept into his sword and turns it into a hulking blade. His movements became blunt and his action was well limited due to his newly formed Claymore

"Heh, are you a fool? A sword gave you a disadvantage but now a Claymore at that. A two-handed great sword, do you think that's going to match my spear!!!" With Sakkari's newly formed spear, the thrust of his spear became swift and his movement sharper than he normally would

Whilst he remains in this state his stats were further increased whilst his spear became an unavoidable force. He stopped midway through his target and with the force he accumulated was released by a powerful swing. The pressure severed the walls which held the museum from withstanding their ongoing brawl, but it wasn't enough

"For someone who's still in their early twenties your one cocky son of a bitch. Do you know how many thousands of playthroughs I have with a sword? No apart from the sword, do you how long I held tightly to my weapons?" When the smoke dispersed, Sakkari saw something which shocked him to his core

Neon parried his spear from ever going under his body and the force it carried wasn't able to reach his flesh. With just a glimpse everyone would've guessed his weapon was heavy and slow for it to reach its target. But most people would forget such a crucial thing and Sakkari later realizes this fact

"Why are you surprised? Aura is a form of energy, it neither has any weight nor physical attributes. This energy only has one thing that's commonly known by the norms. It can strengthen anything it touches, hands, feet, swords, and even utensils we used in our daily lives. Do you think you have the upper hand?" He kept on taunting Sakkari to attack and even after his superiority in terms of weaponry wasn't a match for his foe

No matter how much he could anticipate Neon's upcoming moves, his attack pattern was compromised. Neon doesn't currently possess the ever-domineering ability of the golden eyes which grants him to peek into Sakkari's course of action. All of the things he currently displayed were the fruit of his labors as Ernest Quelt

'Every swing, footwork, and the release of his breath and the flow of his mana I can read his moves. If I can explain it in such an easier sense, this is what you'll gain from reaching a certain mastery of a weapon,'

'It's the same as fighting against your favorite champion from a video game that counters your sub-main after it got stolen by your enemy laner. But does your character decide whether you'll be the victor? No, it doesn't. You can counter his build, his champion but it takes skill if you want to beat the person behind the monitor,'

Neon's swings were overwhelmingly fast and accurate enough to both parry and pressure his adversary. This battle was one of the most intense brawls he ever encountered but he drove away his drawback with sheer experience alone. Sakkari never once backed down and yet he sees no reason in ending their fight. His body was damaged and his breath was nearly at its limit whilst his opponent barely sweat in their exchange

His opponent scolded him in the entirety of their match whilst his reaction slowly fell into his enemy's grasp. There wasn't much that remained in his hand but a single trick that he hadn't used for the longest time. Neon felt the unshakable worry and there he gazes in front of Sakkari who releases his fullest potential
