Erica would feel her spiritual energy, or Mana in this case, flowing through her the moment she used the Spirit Channeling Skill, which was more of an out of combat skill thanks to its somewhat high MP per minute cost. Well, high for Erica's pretty low, compared to the other Gamers anyway, MP amount. She then delivered her kick towards the Kobold's collar bone, it having not much HP left so probably one more blow would finish it off, or at least hopefully would finish it off. --- Erica Capoeria: 60 - 21 Capoeria - 3 Skill Bonus = 36 Miss --- Unfortunately for Erica, her kick was blocked by the creature's club, which with an angry and incredibly loud, canine-like snarl it proceeded to bring down upon Erica before she could get off her second Skill usage and her second attack. --- Kobold Strike: 59 Miss --- Fortunately the strike was much easier to dodge this time around, Erica able to leap deftly out of the way, unable to really try and parry it since she currently had her Cestus unequipped. Still, when she used Spirit Strike she felt the flowing and movement of energy within her from Spirit Channeling strengthen this as a glowing greenish energy appeared around her fists as she aimed to punch the creature in the neck once again. --- Erica Capoeria: 45 - 21 Capoeria - 3 Skill Bonus = 21 Hit! Damage Dealt: 11 --- The blow connected, but not her intended target. Unfortunately, despite getting past its guard, its guard was well kept enough so that the attack didn't hit the collar bone, but instead in its armored area. Its tough hide and strong armor managed to disperse the affect of the Spirit Strike, the energy having no effect. Fortunately though her blow had enough strength as she hit it square in the chest to deal enough damage to knock the creature down, destroying the last of its 10 HP with ease as it fell to the ground, defeated, disappearing into thin air and, unfortunately, leaving no dropped items as the other Kobold that Sasha had destroyed had, possibly just being unlucky with Item Drops with the first two Kobolds. Genji looked at Erica, giving her a nod. "Good, good. That was pretty impressive. Even though these Kobolds are beginner monsters, its not exactly easy to get off fighting one unwounded if you are a beginner. What Martial Art is it that you use though? Its something I haven't really seen before, seems almost foreign really..." Sasha, during this, if her plan was to Level Up Mana Rifle some more, would fire at the next somewhat far distanced, at least 20 yards anyway, Kobold, her Mana Rifle having pretty decent range. --- Mana Rifle: 42 - 28 Projectile - 7 Skill Bonus = 7 Hit! (Max Damage) Damage Dealt: 27 --- The bullet hit straight on, dealing a good chunk of damage, although it still hit the thing in its more armored areas since it was slightly harder to aim then a punch or kick, but the distance and power of this very basic Skill were both really nice. After that, another one could be fired off as the Kobold began to move towards Sasha now, looking quite pissed off, snarling a guttural, canine snarl as it charged with its club. --- Mana Rifle: 61 - 28 Projectile - 7 Skill Bonus = 26 Hit! Damage Dealt: 17 --- The bullet hit, but it didn't destroy the Kobold like the last two did, it managing to clear the gap between it and Sasha now as with its powerful physical strength and somewhat decent agility, it was able to clear the gap within the time she managed to utter the name of the Skill twice and use it twice, the creature aiming to smash down on Sasha with its powerful club. --- Kobold Attack: 29 Miss --- Luckily with Sasha's own natural agility, acrobatic prowess, and the Ban Family Foot Technique Skill she was able to easily and deftly dodge out of the way of the Kobold's powerful strike, which when it hit the ground where she was standing broke the ground with how strong it was, the creature's eyes looking quite bloodshot and it even seemed to be foaming at the mouth, as if it was in some sort of berserk or feral rage. Fortunately though she would be able to move backwards guarding herself well enough so that it wouldn't be able to get through an opening as she moved back to fire one more Mana Rifle at the beast. --- Sasha Mana Rifle: 30 - 28 Projectile - 7 Skill Bonus = -5 Hit! Max Damage: 27 --- This powerful last projectile bore a hole straight into the Kobold, the creature letting out a howl before falling to the ground, fading into thin air in the same manner all other monsters did when defeated. Upon vanishing another Recovery Potion like the ones Sasha got last time was in its place, a pretty nice drop to say the least since apparently these things were incredibly rare and expensive. "Alright, you both seem to be doing really well. Do you have any questions or do you both just want to train for a bit? Also..." Genji looked towards Sasha. "Would you like me to instruct you in the Sword Technique you learned from before? Its one thing knowing the technique, but knowing how to use it is another story."
