The Floating Sword and the Sword-Misanthrope descend towards the entrance to the abyss.
- Never speak ill of yourself, Rurek. For the warrior within you hears these words, and every insult inflicted upon him diminishes his dignity, and with it, the potential of who you are now and who you may become in the future. Your ego is shaped by your thoughts, and hatred is also a weakness; it, like doubt, inevitably leads to defeat, not only on the battlefield but also to spiritual self-destruction. - After carefully examining the eyes of the unexpected student, Hekizo completes his thought with a simpler comparison. - Imagine that a person is ore; strike it methodically, do not put feelings into the swings of your weapon, empty your mind of everything unnecessary.
The lecture turned out to be a simple part - after it, the sword began to train the sword-wielder "physically" - through a duel, during which it became clearly apparent that even without exerting full force and without being in the hands of an experienced master like Óna, Hekizo could not so much kill as
annihilate an innumerable number of opponents. Rurek had no chance.
During the training, Rurek receives 359 units of damage, however, the sword was kind enough to avoid inflicting incurable wounds or damaging his equipment.
Rurek unlocks a skill (requires learnability):
