Ten minutes later, in the combat training room of the Dawn.
"Aren't you going to meet Elaine?" Bedivere asked Solar: "Didn't that kid rely on you before? Maybe if you comfort him, it will have a good effect?"
"No, let it go now. I'm afraid it will scare him." Magic Swordsman Solar said, subconsciously touching his face. His face was covered with the terrifying ancient dragon's scales, and now he only relies on
He wears a holographic image to disguise himself as an ordinary person, but you can still see the difference if you look closely. If Solar like this approaches Elaine, he might be frightened - but maybe Elaine doesn't care at all.
But whatever. Bedivere didn't want to force Solar to do anything, especially regarding Elaine. He felt that everyone on the Dawn had already done too much, and if they continued to take care of Elaine, they might have
It has crossed the boundaries that a friend should have. As expected, it is better to just leave it alone for now.
"So... why did you call me here?" Bedivere then asked: "I guess it has something to do with today's battle, right?"
"Yes." Solar nodded: "I have watched today's round table trial. It seems that you have indeed followed the suggestions for improving your fighting style that I have made before. Most of the shortcomings have been eliminated."
You have made up for it, and your fighting style has gradually become more perfect. But——"
He manipulated the control panel next to him and opened a holographic screen. The screen was fixed on the battle between Bedivere and Elaine, more precisely, it was the moment when Bedivere was attacking Elaine with the Mithril Fluid Sword.
"Is this really it?" Bedivere knew that Solar would complain about this. He scratched his head: "The lag of the Mithril Fluid Sword and the Magic Flame Sword?"
"Exactly, my friend." Solar replied, "I have suffered losses in actual combat. I think you also know the importance of improving this shortcoming, right?"
"Indeed." The werewolf youth did not deny it. In fact, not only did he suffer a loss when fighting Elaine, but Bedivere also suffered a loss due to this problem when fighting Tristan. Whether it was the Mithril Fluid Sword or the Spell Flame
When swinging a sword across the sword, the actual hit is always one beat shorter than the timing of the shot. That mere 0.1 second seems insignificant, but it is crucial to success or failure in the most tense fighter. If these two sword blades are swung like
There is no delay like that with the lightsaber, which can obviously win the battle - or at least make the battle a little easier.
"There is no solution at all, which is to use a charged thrust attack. There will be no delay in thrusting." Bediwell said.
"However, in order to avoid delaying the attack, you must use charged thrust, and your combat method will be limited. Moreover, charged thrust is also delayed, and charging before attacking is a kind of delay." Solal analyzed.
"Yes. And it sounds like you already have a solution?" Bedivere asked tentatively.
"That's right. And I didn't come up with the solution. I just asked other weapon craftsmen who studied this aspect, and they gave a similar answer."
"What is an answer similar to the answer?" Bediwell said with a long face: "It doesn't sound very reliable."
"Anyway, you should finish listening first." The Demon Swordsman smiled bitterly and said: "According to the information I have learned, in fact, the lightsaber used by people thousands of years ago is the same as the fire sword and fluid sword you use now. It is a [soft sword]
].＂
"……real?"
"Really. In ancient times, the blade of the Light Sword would bend backwards when it was swung. The harder it was swung, the more severe the bending, so that in the eyes of others, it was no different from a scimitar. Therefore, in ancient times
The lightsaber is also jokingly called a "light saber" because it is almost impossible to swing the sword straight."
"...But the modern lightsaber is very different from that." Bedivere rubbed his chin and thought: "Is it because the technology has improved? The barrier that forms the blade of the lightsaber has been strengthened by the first mate?
"
"It is and it is not."
"What?" The werewolf young man tilted his head angrily.
"The barrier generator used by today's lightsabers is indeed technically more advanced than the weapons of thousands of years ago. But no matter how advanced the technology is, there is actually no way to turn the original [Soft Photon Sword] into a [Hard Photon Sword]
Sword].That kind of thing...is physically impossible."
"Hmm...so how did they do it?"
"It's actually very simple. Just let the lightsaber blade deform when it is swung to offset the tendency of bending backward."
Bedivere frowned, he was not sure whether he understood Solar's words.
Solar took out a lightsaber from his waist, "Just like this."
He didn't know what hidden button he touched on the lightsaber, and the shape of the lightsaber began to change. The blade turned into a rather weird-shaped kukri. Moreover, the tip of the kukri was tilted forward quite seriously.
.
"Normally you can't see the lightsaber in your hand transforming into this appearance," Solar said: "I specifically asked Mr. Seifer to help make this so that the lightsaber can transform into this appearance when it is stationary. Normal
A smart chip is embedded in the lightsaber, which senses the movement, speed and direction of the user's sword swing, and changes it into the corresponding shape in real time. In this way, the blade becomes a kukri and is swung at high speed.
When they are tilted back, they just cancel each other out. In the eyes of others, it looks like a straight sword swinging out."
"Such a simple and crude treatment method was used..." Bedivere was not only stunned.
"Of course, when the user swings the sword and the blade transforms into a kukri, the enchantment on the blade itself will be additionally strengthened. All this is controlled by the chip and the user will hardly notice it." Suo
Ral continued: "I think this principle of lightsaber can also be applied to your weapon, my friend."
"I can make the shape of the flame sword and fluid sword change instantly to match the attack action." The werewolf youth replied: "But I can't guarantee whether the blade will maintain its strength after changing its shape. The strength on the blade will be strengthened in an instant.
Barrier, my spell fire may not be able to do it. It is already difficult to control the flame or mithril fluid to form the shape of the blade; and then let it change into a kukri at the moment of attack, the difficulty is even higher.
A level; in the end, do we have to instantly strengthen its barrier——"
"Well... practice more?"
"Are you serious?" Bedivere rolled his eyes at Solar.
"Isn't it possible..." Solar scratched his head: "If it doesn't work, we can only rely on external force to achieve this. In the end, we still need to install an auxiliary barrier outside the [World Tree Shell].
device."
Solar took out a metal buckle from his arms and handed it to Bedivere.
"So you have been ready for a long time. You know I will say [can't do it]."
"I originally planned to trust your ability more, my friend. This is just in case." Solar said this sincerely, but for some reason it made people very angry: "I originally hoped that you
You can overcome this difficulty by your own efforts and do not need to rely on external help. But okay, it is easier to rely on external help for the time being. But one day... when you don't need any external help, just rely on your own strength
You can bring out the full strength of that sword, and your fighting skills will definitely be improved to the next level."
"I also hope that one day." Bedivere replied, and the side effect of the barrier generator was installed on the [World Tree Shell].
The original [World Tree Shell] looked like the hilt of a wooden lightsaber. Now it is equipped with this metal ring-shaped generator, as if it has an extra hand guard, and it looks like a real light sword.
The sword is a little closer. Of course, it is both metal and wood, and its blade is both flame and mithril. It is probably difficult to find another such strange lightsaber in the world.
"This is the barrier generator made by Mr. Seifer, but it only deals with [strengthening of the barrier]." Solar continued: "Like the chips on other lightsabers, when it senses that the user is swinging the sword hard,
, the barrier generator will start working to strengthen the original barrier of the weapon in your hand. In this way, the blade will become harder in the short moment from swinging the sword to hitting the enemy."
"I'll give it a try." Bedivere walked to the weapon testing room and tried to summon the magical fire and turn it into the form of a flaming blade.
Then he prepared to attack in the empty testing room, and as Solal demonstrated before, while swinging the sword, he thought about making the blade look like a kukri.
A sword was swung out. The flaming sword blade drew a long arc of light in mid-air.
"How?" The werewolf young man didn't see very clearly just now. It was difficult for him to see everything clearly from his own perspective, so he asked Solar.
"It's improved, but the end of the blade is still a little bent backwards," Solar said. "The curve of the kukri is not big enough. You may not be used to having it recurve to the degree corresponding to the strength of your swing."
.Miss Eve, can you replay his actions just now?"
"Follow your orders." A holographic image screen appeared in front of Bedivere, replaying the action of Bedivere swinging his sword just now. Moreover, it was filmed from multiple angles in the front, middle and back, which can be said to be an all-round reproduction of that action.
"That's it." The werewolf youth looked at his sword swing and began to review: "I understand. The curvature should be wider, right? This can be improved through practice."
He tried to swing the sword continuously again, trying to adjust the perfect curvature that suited the strength of his sword swing. After each swing of the sword, he reviewed and readjusted it in front of the replay on the screen, hoping to practice it until he was comfortable with it.
"It seems that I am no longer needed here, my friend." Solar smiled and said: "Then you can continue to practice. Or do you need to find someone to practice with you?"
"Can you practice with me?" Bediwell said unceremoniously: "There's no point in training by swinging a sword in the air. It's just talk on paper at best. If possible, I really want to practice with you. I need to be able to actually slash."
This way I can feel whether the delay problem of sword swing has been solved."
"Of course, my friend." The magic swordsman walked into the testing room: "Just let me practice with you. I have the dragon scales of the immortal ancient dragon. I won't be hurt even if I am hit. I can be your sandbag just right."
suitable."
"Pick up your sword, Solar." Bedivere said, "It's no longer practice if you are asked to be a punching bag unilaterally."
"That's fine." Solar raised the lightsaber he had just used and got into a good posture: "Then let's get started, my friend."
