Master the basics and nothing more; the more basic things he learned, the more he would be able to combine them to confuse his enemy.
This was Zaroth's approach, the way he gained strength.
And this was the first time he was fighting against a person who had mastered the use of a single weapon almost to perfection.
Seeing the way his opponent skillfully moved, evading Zaroth's odachi with his daggers, it was clear that the man had spent countless hours perfecting his mastery of the weapon.
While Zaroth just had the general idea of how each weapon functioned.
Even if he had read a lot of books about the matter, at the end of the day, it was still the basics, and he didn't truly know the advanced tactics.
In other words, this was going to be a battle between a master of one skill and an novice in many.
Zaroth's opponent had just made Zaroth's odachi move to the side with a skillfully placed fist and was able to close the distance between them.
