Legendary Shelter Survival Guide

When Lucas clicked on a similar button to make the shelter upgrade, the same old light shone when they left the area.

Yet the light was not that good as it was fainter than before.

Everybody looked at the shining shelter with marvel. The emotions were on a roller coaster as many had not looked at it before while the ones that had witnessed it previously were still pretty lively and excited about it.

The light soon faded out of existence completely and Lucas could look at the shelter again.

Not many things had changed as the shelter looked the same from the outside. There was no change in the campsite or the big area around the shelter's territory.

"This defense is completely useless now..." Barney said with a dejected tone. He was right, the defenses now had space of a few steps between every spear erected making it easy to enter it without trouble.

"We will have to take care of the defenses the next time, for now, let's look at the changes this time around."

Lucas made his way inside the shelter and he opened its gate only to find out the only change that had happened in this upgrade.

The shelter's space for living had become bigger than before. Now the corners seemed even further from each other. The shelter was becoming into something very reliable with perseverance and care.

Everyone that belonged inside the shelter followed Lucas inside, their eyes widening in amazement at the newfound spaciousness. Conversations filled the air as they explored the expanded living quarters, marveling at the possibilities it presented.

"The upgrade might not have changed the exterior at all, but this increase in space is incredible," remarked Ella, her voice filled with excitement. "We now have more room for each one of us and privacy could be achieved very easily.

"Yeah." Lucas said with a distant chuckle remembering all those nights on the hard floor with nothing squishy to sleep at.

There was even a bit of trouble some time ago due to everyone living and sleeping so close to each other all these days. But the problem seemed to have taken care of itself.

Some hours later, Lucas had not looked at the next upgrade requirement as everybody had already contributed a lot. He still needed to upgrade it again and again but giving time off to the people seemed fair.

Lucas went on with his attacks without stopping toward a burly man. Both had different weapons in hand and Lucas had a bit of a difference in his attacking style.

While previously he used one sword to attack, now he had two in his hands trying to slash Jerry with a new technique.

Jerry was using a buckler and the gauntlet in one hand and attacked Lucas with all his force again and again.

There was no worry about getting hurt as Ella was right there with them with her healing powers.

As Lucas continued his relentless assault, the clash of metal against metal filled the air. His dual-wielding technique allowed him to strike from multiple angles, making it difficult for Jerry to defend himself. With each swing of his swords, Lucas aimed to find an opening in Jerry's defenses.

Jerry, however, was not one to be underestimated. With his buckler and gauntlet, he expertly parried Lucas's attacks, using his shield to deflect the strikes while countering with powerful punches and jabs. His strength and skill were evident as he pushed back against Lucas's onslaught.

They had just started to use their respective weapon but the proficiency they had in wielding them was intense. The proficiency percentage and the skill level up were not only on the status but also affected their fighting style dearly making it improve day by day.

Amidst the intense battle, Ella, with her concerned presence, stood by their side, emanating healing energy in both her hands. Her healing balls hit both fighters, ensuring that no serious injuries would impede their fierce engagement. The wounds inflicted in their clash were swiftly mended, allowing Lucas and Jerry to continue their duel without restraint.

As the fight raged on, Lucas and Jerry's determination grew, each one striving to gain the upper hand. Their weapons clashed with resounding force, echoing through the surroundings. The clash of their differing styles created a great spectacle for anyone witnessing the battle.

Lucas, known for his speed and agility, relied on his twin blades to perform swift and precise strikes. His movements were instinctual, careful, and fluid, weaving a dance of steel as he aimed to outperform Jerry's defenses. He sought to exploit any momentary weakness, looking for an opening to deliver a decisive blow.

Jerry, on the other hand, showcased his brute strength and endurance. His buckler absorbed Lucas's attacks, while his gauntlet struck back with powerful punches and grapples. Despite the barrage of strikes, he stood his ground, unyielding in his defense.

Ella's healing powers continued to sustain Lucas and Jerry, providing them with the energy and stamina to maintain their ferocious assault. The battle seemed to be a testament to their shared strength and resilience, as neither combatant showed signs of yielding.

The clash of blades and the thud of fists against each other intensified, both pushing themselves to the limits of their abilities. The onlookers which included literally everyone in the shelter were captivated by the spectacle, their hearts pounding in anticipation of the battle's outcome.

As the fight waged on, it became clear that Lucas and Jerry were evenly matched. Both warriors displayed remarkable skill and unwavering determination. The outcome of this clash depended on who could find that crucial opportunity or exploit their opponent's weakness.

Lucas had clearly not gone all out which included him activating his skills. But using perceptive eyes was very addicting and he needed to learn how to fight without any outside help.

Even the Electric aura of his sword would be too much for Jerry and he knew that he could win the fight anytime but the main focus for the training fight was to help increase both of them's proficiency in their respective weapons.

While Lucas only had the sword proficiency to increase, Jerry had the gauntlet and shield ones to look after.

In all fairness, the fight was going well and they had been fighting for an hour now with the help of Ella's skills, but Jerry knew in his heart that Lucas was way better than him.

Lucas's movements were fluid and he always tried to use Jerry's weakness for his own good. But it was even more than that, Lucas was adapting to Jerry's continuos different but comparatively same attacks and he was getting pushed back while the others except some couldn't understand it.

As the fight continued, Lucas's adaptability and keen observation became evident. He studied Jerry's every move, anticipating his attacks and countering with precise strikes. Lucas was like a predator, patiently waiting for the perfect moment to strike, exploiting Jerry's weaknesses with calculated precision.

Jerry, despite his relentless assault, couldn't help but notice Lucas's growing dominance in the battle. The disparity in their skill levels became increasingly apparent, weighing on Jerry's mind. However, he refused to let discouragement consume him. Determination burned within his eyes as he pushed himself harder, refusing to back down.

Lucas was not at all surprised by Jerry's attitude, after training with everyone for a while. He knew that Jerry may have been weak for now but with that determination of his, it was going to be very safe keeping him as the tank of the shelter.

Jerry fought with all his might, fueled by determination and pride. However, fatigue began to set in, his attacks becoming sluggish and his movements less coordinated. He realized that Lucas was indeed the superior fighter, but he refused to surrender. With a surge of willpower, Jerry mustered his remaining strength for one final push.

As Jerry launched his last desperate assault, Lucas carefully evaded each strike, his blades dancing with deadly grace. With a swift and calculated move, Lucas disarmed Jerry, sending his Buckler clattering to the ground. The battle reached its climax, with Lucas standing tall and Jerry on his knees, gasping for breath.

Lucas was also out of breath but stamina seemed to have been on his side. But in the end, it was not really who had the better stats. Lucas's mentality was the best thing that could happen to him in the fights.

John came near the two out of breath men and gave them the support to sit down with the group.

Ella's healing might heal the wounds and even help in refreshing stamina but there was still an end to how much the human body could take.

"That was one good fight, Lucas and Jerry," John said after sitting them up.

The level up had been going well now that their minds were of the very basic survival needs and they could now focus on there respective training which was all they ever needed for this phase.
