[Immortal Arts, Heaven: Refined Thrust]

From the demon’s blind spot, Mira slipped in close and pummeled it using one of her immortal techniques. The layered shockwaves crashed into the unwary demon like a raging tempest.

Hrmm… That seemed to do a little damage. Mira watched Wolf Bane’s distorted face as he flew through the air before slamming into the bedrock.

Keeping the demon in sight, Mira lightly flexed her hands to check the feedback from the attack. Based on what she’d felt from her fists, there was almost no difference in the feeling of combat from when she fought using her VR rig.

There was a difference in reach—but that was more the result of inhabiting a smaller body than Danblf’s. She quickly found she could compensate for that with an extra half-step forward. As a bonus, the smaller body made it easier to slip inside her foe’s guard. One touch had allowed her to analyze so much.

Another worrying factor was the physical difference that came with being real instead of virtual. Air resistance and actual gravity governed the laws of nature instead of a computer’s physics engine. But given the success of her first strike, the changes seemed minute, and she was adjusting with every passing second.

But not every difference was a hindrance—her senses were clearer, and she could feel what was around her. The intuitive flow of her whole body allowed her to be much more responsive.

The fundamental basis for Mira’s strength was her accumulated experience and her ability to combine her various acquired skills on the fly. Power In Ark Earth Online had ultimately resided in the imagination and skill of the player rather than a random number generator, and as she squared off against the demon, she found that not much had changed.

A brand-new player with prior martial arts or swordsmanship experience was often able to defeat mid-level monsters or oppose player characters using just that physical knowledge. Which meant that to become stronger, players not only had to improve their skills within the system but also in real life.

One player, Kenoh Kojiro the Fist, was famous for fighting monsters in hand-to-hand combat before going on to win national karate tournaments. They stopped only when their body reached its limits. With her abilities in close combat as a Sage of the immortal arts, Mira could pass for a world-class martial artist when it came to skill.

With discipline and practice, you too might be able to fight demons one day.

Wolf Bane rose from the bedrock, brushing off crushed stone and dust as he stood. He glared at Mira. “Damn you! What was that?!”

“Just a little tap. Was it too much for you?”

Mira sucked in a series of deep breaths as she expanded her consciousness, remembering who she had been in the game and applying it to the present. She could feel Danblf’s power still flowing through her, and she smiled. The pleasant tingle of the excitement of battle was nostalgic and welcome.

“Don’t get cocky, girl!”

Her smile stoked Wolf Bane’s fury, and red flames billowed from the scythe in his hands as his anger grew.
