With each thump on the ground, Neraxis moved, and frankly, killing monsters was beginning to get easier.
However, at the same time, he saw this as an opportunity.
Each time he swung his sword, it had the perfect trajectory, which shouldn't normally be possible.
There was only one explanation for such a situation, and that was: The trial was trying to better his swordsmanship.
It had given him time back in the fifth trial, and now, in the seventh, it was assisting him with his swordsmanship.
Nonetheless, he brought out his sword, stretching it forward before suddenly cutting in an arc, stopping for less than a second, and then continuing once again.
The monsters acted as training dummies, so even if he did not attack them, they were not of a high enough rank to give him stigmata progress.
Even without that, his swordsmanship was growing rapidly, to the point where each attack was more accurate than the last.
