[Press X to dodge.]
"Wha-" You don't complete what you were about to say when suddenly-
[Critical hit taken, -40 Health depleted.]
The health bar above your head drops by 25%. Leo had hit you with the equivalent of a drop kick, fortunately he hadn't decided to sting you, any poison damage isn't something that needs to be figured out now.
[Press Right Bumper to Equip Weapon.]
This time you think about Equipping said weapon, which then caused you to reach for two steak knives and just in time as another QTE happens.
[Press Y to Parry.]
Again, trusting the system you think about pressing Y and now you've parried both their attacks, stun locking the duo.
"Haha!" You shout triumphantly and attack without a second thought towards Ant-ax-
[You have slain Royal Guard #4, all gifts shall be rewarded depending on the outcome of the battle.]
You grin, gripping your knives firmly.
"Come on then, give it your best shot."
You taunt Leo and for a moment the world stood still..
[Leo used flash step!]
[Hold left Trigger to block.]
You barely block in time as he slams into your knives with his own sword and of course they snap at this moment, causing you to stagger backwards. Leo, seeing the opening, presses his advantage.
[Press X + Y for your ultimate move, 95% muscle strain debuff applied for the next 48 hours after use.]
Not caring about it you do so.
[Temporary Technique Granted: Ultra Instinct. Duration: two seconds Cooldown: Ten years*]
In the brief time you were granted U.I. it came with a clarity you would imagine is what it felt like to reach Enlightenment, the greatest high imaginable. You felt like a spectator as your body moved on its own and struck Leo with a swiftness that looked comical if you had watched it happen in real time. You dodged to the left of Leo and cut off his head with what remained of your knife.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations, you have slain Royal Guard #1, Leo. Rewards will be distributed upon your next awakening. The next encounter will happen in 72 hours.]
Surprise crossed your face before the pain blindsided you, slamming face first into the kitchen table and then sliding down to the floor wasn't to be all things considered..
However, before you were lost to the bliss of unconsciousness you saw a final notification from the system.
[Host level has increased to level 25, Temporary item acquired: All 7 of the Dragon Balls from the Dragon Ball Z manga/anime.]
