Training combat skills took up much of Karl’s next few weeks, as there was always something for him to learn, and [Skill Master] just didn’t want to cooperate and give him the advanced versions of his new fighting skill.
Apparently, that wasn’t the usual standard that the skill held everyone to, though. It had activated three times for the Elves that were training on the docks, and even Dana had managed to get one more activation out of it.
Still, he couldn’t complain much, as the gains that he had made were already a massive increase in his actual combat ability, and he would be able to effectively fight a half dozen opponents at once.
It seemed that was how his development was destined to be.
Dana got all the buffs to fighting duels, and single opponents, while he was stacking up benefits that would help him against larger groups.
Some of that was undoubtedly related to their classes, as Dana did specialize in blades, while he started as a Beast Master.
But it was still an annoyance that his skill worked so much better on everyone else than it did on him.
He did still find time to do his crafting work, keeping the store stocked, but the first few weeks that they were training the Blue Elves was a busy time everywhere in the Darklight Host territory.
Even the cooks found themselves overwhelmed with work, as every one of the Lycans was bringing friends over for dinner, now that the staff had [Divine Cooking], and there was a whole new book full of unfamiliar recipes for them to try.
The only normal part of the whole time was the trip to the mining dungeon. They had done it just the same as last time, though Karl got the Tunnel Worm this time, and Rae got the manticore. But once that was over, Rae still went on a rampage through the tunnel worm nest, and they got the dungeon completion notice without any additional fanfare or hidden areas for them to unlock.
It was a good feeling.
It also brought them a massive influx of raw materials, and that was what Karl was going to work on today.
Tian had made a bunch of new swords in the curved style that the Blue Elves liked, similar to a scimitar or Cutlass. But he had made them with a bit of a hook on the back, so they could also be used to catch weapons, as both Dana and Karl’s new combat skills had techniques for.
They were a style that had lost favour, or perhaps had never made it to this world, but Tian was confident that they would be popular once Karl began to sell them.
Dana didn’t plan to change, as she had gotten used to using the Guandao Halberd style of weapons that matched the {Dancing Blade of the Dana Mage} that Rue had created for her.
Rue also had gear waiting for Karl, but had decided to hold off on giving it to him until he was less focused on his training, so that he didn’t become lazy and start using gear as a crutch.
For all the gear that he turned out, he didn’t actually put too much effort into what he used for himself.
