"Why do you think I went so far as to kill our mother? To protect you. You should have had a house somewhere and raised a family and grow old. To make up for what I couldn't do for mother and our little brothers and little sisters, you should have had a wife and children and made them happy. And I would've never... let a demon get near you."

Cons

Notes
- Because of the way A.I acts, they only block when you're close to them, meaning you can just spam your ranged moves to cheese slayer quests.
- The best way to defeat Grimm (the Wind trainer) is to walk backwards and M2 him when he gets close.
- Perfect block him.
- Lunge is recommended.
- The names of the moves are mixed up compared to the actual Wind Breathing, as third form is actually first form, first form actually second form, and the names of fifth and sixth form should be switched based on their true counterparts.
- You can't get this after you become hybrid.
- It's recommended to use Wind breathing with level 10 breathing.
