A Frontline Soldier Awakened as a Gamer In The War!

Chapter 121: (2)

Activate Aura! Hup!

Activating his aura, Kaiyan pulled back his fist, preparing to strike the rock monsters. However, he realized something he hadnt considered before.

Where should I aim? The head? The body?

Given their round shape, it was difficult to identify any obvious weak spots.

Growl!

Just smash anywhere, and well see! Haaap!

Crash!

Aiming at the lower part of the foremost attacker, Kaiyan thrust his fist forward, shattering a portion of the rock and causing the struck monster to stagger back, maintaining its distance and eyeing him warily.

[How does it feel?]

Its quite a shock Not as hard as Bentuaes forehead, but very solid.

The impact felt through his hand suggested the rocks hardness was comparable to the well-polished steel shields used by knights.

As expected, even though Kaiyan had anticipated the difficulty from the moment the rocks began to move, these were not creatures to be underestimated lightly.

A typical knight would struggle to defeat even one due to their formidable defense, although the monsters slow speed would also hinder them from effectively engaging knights.

Growl!

Growl

The dozen monsters that had been advancing halted, possibly due to their comrades defeat, emitting eerie screams but making no move to approach, as if waiting for something.

With no benefit in delaying, Kaiyan clenched his fist, ready to charge, when suddenly

Rumble!

Were they waiting for reinforcements?

A vibrating noise came from behind.

Turning around, Kaiyan saw rocks from the hills center to its peak stirring to life, shaking off dust as they rose.

Their number was at least in the dozens, adding to those in front to total nearly fifty.

Physical enhancement, Thoughts acceleration! Alright ah! Random skill draw!

To maximize his power, Kaiyan utilized his skills one by one, eventually remembering to use a random skill.

Ding! [Beginner Fistfighting (D): Applies when using fists, increasing attack power by 10%, allowing for more natural fist usage] [Single use]

Fistfighting?

[Wow! Perfect for the current situation!]

Kaiyan had been contemplating purchasing a fistfighting manual, even though he planned to use swords in the future, making him hesitant to spend G-points.

But the emergence of a fistfighting skill in this situation, even for just a minute, provided an excellent chance to experience the technique.

Alright, lets finish this wait.

A sudden thought struck Kaiyan.

Halting his advance, he turned to Rieka.

[Why? Whats wrong?]

Rieka, what if I can remember how to use my fists from the fistfighting skill, even after the skill expires? Would it create a new skill?

[Hmm? I havent considered that Theoretically, it should work, right?]

With the fistfighting skill, Kaiyans instincts were imprinted with the correct way to wield his fists. But if he could retain this sensation even after the skill vanished?

Growl!

This is the perfect situation to test it.

To validate his hypothesis, remembering the sensation imparted by the fistfighting skill was crucial. To do so, he needed to utilize his fists as much as possible within the minute, making the rock monsters with their exceptional resilience the perfect opponents.

Hup!

Pummeling forward, Kaiyan unleashed his fist, guided by instinct.

Crash!

Growl!

It doesnt make much of a difference.

Given the skill was only at the beginner level, the technical demands it placed on him werent high, resulting in a correspondingly modest increase in power.

Without the 10% power boost from the skill, it wouldnt be much help.

Its not the skill; its my growth.

Reflecting on his initial acquisition of swordsmanship and his performance during the monster wave, the relative ineffectiveness of fistfighting might seem disappointing. However, the gap in physical capabilities between then and now was unimaginably wide.

The battles had significantly enhanced both his physical abilities and combat skills to a point beyond recognition. Perhaps he had inherently known how to unleash power through his fists, just lacking a systematic approach to developing a skill.

As his thoughts aligned, a smile naturally formed on his lips.

That means as my combat ability improves, lower-grade skills will evolve faster.

[What? What do you mean?]

This is good for me! Haaap!

Charging at the advancing rock monsters, Kaiyans eyes blazed red as he furiously swung his fists. Only about 40 seconds remained.

Crash!

Growl!

Come on! Keep coming at me!

The monsters, confident in their numbers, continued their assault despite their comrades crumbling. They were indeed the perfect opponents for maximizing the skills effectiveness.

With each hit against their solid forms, the skills sensation imprinted deeper into Kaiyans mind and instincts.

Growl!

Hup!

Even as they crumbled severely, the rock monsters launched themselves at him. Kaiyan, following his instincts, thrust his aura-concentrated right fist straightforwardly without any fancy moves.

Crack! Shatter!

Unlike before, when his fist merely shattered the rock, this time it burrowed into the monster, releasing power from within and splitting the creature in half without it even managing to scream.

This was not merely a physical blow but a technique of concentrating power through the fist, akin to slicing and stabbing with a sword.

This is the real way to use fists.

Ding! [A beginner fistfighting skill has been created.]

As the time for the random skill elapsed, Kaiyan eagerly awaited the creation of a new fistfighting skill, confirming his hypothesis.
