Princess & Cyberserk

Everyone has his talent

Tom looked at the girl with respect. An excellent representative of an aspiring politician. She was quickly able to tie little pieces of important information together into a proper picture. They blabbed! But the phantom wanted the princess to know about her partner's new quality. Tom was glad to help their companion. But he did not wish to see the princess as a permanent ally in the dungeons. That was not her destination. The girl must attend to her mission quest and perhaps it would lead to her partners getting an important quest. There are no quests in the dungeons. Everything here is simple. There are monsters and there is the task of regaining the strength of the fighting skills. The princess's fighting skills were of no interest to the clone. She is not a warrior. For her, fighting monsters is entertainment. If the princess becomes her defense against enemies it is not correct. She must take care of her protection. Let her seek out her courtiers! Let her form her team. The girl hopes in vain to be part of the Black Flame group. This is a question she has already raised in the Tower of Destiny and received a clear answer. She is not part of Dan Raven's group. She is too big a value to become a subordinate of an ordinary player.

But the clever phantom knew not to offend a useful ally. Tom hastened to express the flattering and pleasantries that had impressed him.

"You have done well. And you made an important point. We are swordsmen and warriors. That's why the gods reward us simply and quickly. You are of royal blood. You will receive a more special talent. I respect and greatly appreciate your desire to realize yourself as a warrioress. But that is not your destiny. Elina, it's ridiculous to hope you get your talent in a cave with monsters," laughed the clone.

"It is clear that I will get a more valuable and powerful reinforcement. I have a kingdom to establish," the blonde smiled proudly. "Only losers like you and Baron Raven get all sorts of abnormal talents."

"I have a normal and magnificent talent. I can amplify ten times in ten seconds of combat! I'll deal twice as much damage to the enemy! That's cool," Dan shouted with indignation and resentment. He didn't like that she was making fun of his mental abilities and didn't want to appreciate his fighting ability.

"Of course it's over. You're a very valuable character in the cave. Only personages like me have a duty to care for a full life in the world. Life does not end outside the dungeons, after all," the girl clapped her eyelashes and looked at the baron with the smile of a humble child.

"She knows how to mock," chuckled the clone. "But she's not quite right. Elina, the Baron, and I have a great perspective ahead of us. Everyone can get talent to improve their peaceful profession. We can show off our skills quite well outside of caves and monster fights, too."

"Yes! We managed to surprise those muddy blacksmiths from Grossroads. We're cool blacksmiths! And you should be ashamed of yourself. I never thought you were dumb and lazy. Though I've heard a lot about your unwillingness to get a proper education. Enough talk. Let's go ahead and continue destroying spiders. Great partners for skill development. Tom, don't be shy. Admit it in front of her. Did you get my talent?"

Phantom laughed at such a question. He sighed at his friend's stupidity.

"Dan. I'm your clone. I have no talents of my own. It would be insolent if your clones had two fighting talents. We've been through this experiment before. A clone has a berserk state if you cast a Phantom spell in the berserk state."

"That's ridiculous," Dan muttered. "I don't have time to use any other extraneous spells during combat."

Phantom shook his head and spoke out about future difficult fights with dangerous enemies.

"We have monsters ahead of us that will have hundreds of defenses. The duel will be at least a minute of the bloody meat grinder. It's now you can destroy a monster in five strikes. These spiders are just miserable monsters for beginners. We'll still have to learn new ways to fight."

Dan Raven nodded his head respectfully. He relaxed and was used to fighting easy battles with his summoning. This world would undoubtedly pit his strongest opponents against him. The young man thought that the new talent would affect the distribution of attribute points. The game was mocking him! He is forced to play as a mage. It benefits him to develop his Intelligence. Then he will be able to control himself for a greater amount of time. And the damage will increase more and more. Why would he need to develop the Strength if the Berserk talent increases the damage? Things were getting very complicated and the young man didn't like it.

The princess looked at the baron who was thinking about his problems. She pushed the clone to the side.

"Don't mind him. He's going to stand there now and try to understand things that are too smart and complicated. Let's go ahead. I want to kill the new spider. You've seen me fight! Why aren't you praising my skills?" Elina wanted appreciation from a creature who inspired her respect.

"It's beautiful. There's a very harmonious quality to combat at this level of opponents. You manage to enjoy the fight and destroy your opponent without much threat to your health. We'll have to see how you handle more unpleasant opponents. It's a pity you didn't have time to get the quality of a double-handed swordsman. You're a cheeky, brazen girl! You don't use a shield. It's stupid and arrogant." The clone spoke up.

"Ugh! It's no fun with a shield. It messes with the fighting. I have time to parry the spider's attacks. Parrying! That's the art. You don't understand. You and the baron both can only beat back monster attacks with brute force. You're not very fast at all. Our mysterious baron is far too god-given. Dan is fast," Elina laughed and added softly. "Fast and stupid."

The fast and stupid baron heard everything. But he didn't feel like answering the primitive insults of the insolent princess. There were more interesting things to do in this cave than exchange rudeness. 

The young man approached the clone and quietly confessed his wrong assumption.

"I had hoped that killing one monster would increase my skill development by one percent. It didn't. Your progress in blacksmithing skills allowed me to use some of your development for my perfection. I hope that the monsters you kill will also count toward my skill development."

"A very difficult question," Tom agreed. "You do realize that it's very complicated. You apply several skills when you kill one spider. Which skill receives a contribution to development? I don't understand. I hope the game system somehow captures these moments. I think what matters is the final strike! You got the fight wrong. You should kill the monster with a Master Kornelius attack."

Dan looked at his advisor with respect. This guy is smarter than he is and is figuring out all the correct things.

"Cool. I hadn't thought of that. There's a special precision and importance to your suggestion. Now the spider fights are going to get a lot more interesting. Let's go before that girl gets into a web," laughed the young man.

"That girl can handle a couple of spiders. But our attention won't hurt her," the clone agreed.

At this time the princess was already fighting a new spider and didn't notice that no one was supporting her. Elina was in a great mood. The phantom's words upset her a little. Of course, she needs to fulfill an important assignment of the goddess. But can't she have a little fun and fight spiders. The girl thought that these two tricksters would surely try to get rid of her. She did not want to be alone and solve her problems without her acquaintances. Algrin was now stuck in her town of elves. And stern Koreima wouldn't be able to help her anytime soon, either. The nasty vampiress would want to drink her blood again. Ugh! But this bloodsucker's help could be very useful.

Elina took one last deft strike at the spider and jumped up in pleasure. She had succeeded! The vile animal had managed to hurt her again and the venom burned her side and hurt badly. But Elina was willing to endure the pain. Resistance to poisons is a good thing.

The girl turned around and saw that the two lasers were just approaching the scene of the fight.

"You have abandoned me! This is outrageous and unacceptable. I will complain about you. Algrin and Koreima will not be pleased. You have to watch over and provide support," the princess expressed her indignation.

"You don't need support. We specifically chose a mission with the weakest monsters. Don't try to make me feel guilty," Dan laughed and walked past the princess. "Now it's my turn. The next spider is mine."

"If you can find the spider in time then you will fight," shouted the princess and ran off into the darkness of the tunnel.

Dan rushed to catch up with the girl. This was no longer a good thing. She's playing her games, but he has serious business to attend to. He needs to develop his skills.

Tom shook his head and picked up a web and a piece of ore from the floor. These two acted like carefree children.
