Day by day, Damon made consistent growth with his training in wielding the greenish-black dagger.
Perhaps it was owed to the boost he got during his death match with the mantis that shot him upto level four.
Damon's training to master the Green Mantis' Claw could be split into distinct stages.
At first, he focused on basic stances and footwork. Being a greenhorn to the use of daggers and weapons in general, he needed this stage to lay a solid foundation for the next.
His body became attuned to the blade's weight and balance, adjusting effortlessly to every subtle shift.
He moved with a fluidity that showed his resolution to master his use of the magical weapon.
As the sun arced across the sky, casting shadows over the arena, Damon delved deeper into his practice, entering yet another stage.
He transitioned into offensive manoeuvres, parrying imaginary foes with calculated grace.
