"Flawless!"
The gemstones of Paul's two-handed giant sword shone with crystal light. When the blade of the sword was inserted towards the ground, the surrounding body was immediately surrounded by flames, which instantly turned into countless interlaced translucent light shields. This move was taught by his teacher Passari. , which is equivalent to a kind of absolute defensive compression field power, the effect is far above the general protective magic.
Paul himself did not expect that this duel would be completely suppressed by his former defeated opponent, and he was forced to use this move so quickly.
Samuel's continuous attacks were unable to break through the "invincible" domain. With a flick of his body, he opened the distance from Paul, and a huge mark of light appeared under his feet. The mark carried a strong aura of destruction, and the long knife pointed at Paul.
"Morning Light Extinction?" Paul sneered secretly. Samuel also used this move in the last duel, and it was easily cracked by him. He knew the characteristics of this move very well. It consumes a lot of power, and the attack surface is relatively scattered, which is restrained by the "impeccable" defensive characteristic.
Although Samuel has shown the strength to overwhelm him now, as long as he guards against this big move and then launches a counterattack when Samuel's physical strength is exhausted, he can reverse the decline in one fell swoop, or even turn the tables.
In fierce battles, fighters are only fleeting, and the time to judge or think is extremely short, and often only one choice can be made, which is more of an instinctive reaction. Samuel's knife had already exploded with incomparable sharpness. Paul made a decision in an instant, and did not evade it.
The field was filled with light, and the protective barrier nearby shook violently. The special high-strength defensive stone slabs could not withstand the huge pressure and shattered one after another.
Paul felt the strong impact of "Indomitable", and those transparent light shields began to become thinner, even slightly distorted, but he was not surprised but happy in his heart: The characteristics of "Indomitable" are somewhat similar to springs, the thinner the shield The stronger the defense power—the power of "Morning Light Extinction" is indeed terrifying, but judging from the strength of "Unrelenting", it can definitely be supported to the end.
At this moment, Paul suddenly felt that the flow of the power of the domain was different. With a "chi", there was a pain in his shoulder. Something sharp had pierced through the armor and was directly embedded in it. The pain pierced his heart. Immediately afterwards, sharp objects broke through the shield at high speed. Paul was shocked like being shot continuously. Holes were pierced through the shield of "Invincible". Although they gradually healed automatically, they were still unable to resist. Live that sharp impact.
After the flash of light, Paul had already turned into a blood man, his transparent shield collapsed completely, he staggered back, just stood on his feet, before he had time to make the next reaction, he took a breath suddenly, and was already crushed by a sharp blade on the throat.
A broken blade.
At this moment, Paul finally came to his senses. It turned out that "Morning Light Extermination" was completely different from before. The scattered attacks were condensed together, and their power was multiplied. Burst out in the "Dawn Extinction" hit. The broken blade that contains the power of the domain is extremely sharp, and its lethality is extremely astonishing, and even "Invulnerable" cannot resist it. That knife must have done the corresponding tricks, no wonder it has seldom fought head-on with the Huaguang Great Sword before, all of this was prepared to fight!
Paul's second reaction was shock. He had already lost to Samuel in front of Joanna, in front of Emperor Rex and a group of high-ranking nobles, and in front of all the audience!
The movements of the two people were so fast that the audience couldn't see them clearly. When the scene was frozen, the stands fell silent: the result of the duel was shocking. Lost! Judging from the bloody scene, it was still a fiasco!
Samuel glanced at Paul indifferently, didn't say anything like the winner's declaration, but slowly withdrew the broken blade and turned around.
Ignoring, this is Chiguoguo's ignoring. Strong shame and anger surged in Paul's heart, and he almost had the urge to attack Samuel from behind and cut Samuel in two with a single sword, but this thought was fleeting. This is not a wilderness, but a royal arena. The arbiter, Emperor Rex, is one of the strongest saints in the human world. If he really dares to act rashly, it is unknown whether Samuel will die or not. He and the Norman family are definitely dead.
"Samuel wins this duel." Emperor Rex's voice sounded, still calm.
Samuel gave a deep salute to Emperor Rex, at this time a smiling man sitting on the lower right of Emperor Rex stood up and said: "My father once said that if you want to achieve real success , Diligence is more important than talent. I can imagine how much hard work and hard work our Silver Knights have put in to achieve today's impressive victory. Your Excellency Samuel, I am very interested in the heroic deeds of the Storm Island this time , I don’t know if you can satisfy my curiosity? Maybe you can show me some loot to open my eyes?”
This man spoke beautifully, but he was actually questioning the incident on the Island of Storms, and in this situation where Samuel had just won, he obviously had bad intentions.
Only then did Chen Rui know that this man was his "Second Brother" Garfield, and "Arthur"'s Jinyao territory is currently ruled by Garfield's "agent". Garfield has a feud with Samuel's father, Carlo, and has been framed and suppressed many times. The current plight of the Camplot family is inseparable from the "efforts" of the second prince.
Facing Garfield's attack, Samuel looked very calm and bowed: "Your Highness Garfield, unfortunately, I went to the Island of Storms just to save my lover who was framed by poisonous schemes, not a hero. And , if we hadn't escaped by chance, Joanna and I would have died in the hands of the Titans."
Titans? The surrounding discussions began to increase again. It is said that the Titan can compete with the giant dragon. Unexpectedly, Samuel encountered such a terrifying giant creature!
As he said that, Samuel took out a piece of silver metal the size of his palm: "I just picked this up when I was running for my life. It's not considered a trophy. I wanted to keep it by my side, be alert all the time, and give myself a higher struggle." I don't know if I can satisfy the Second Highness."
The young man next to Emperor Rex stared at the piece of metal from a distance, his silver eyes glowed with brilliance: "The armor of the silver scale armor is indeed a Titan's craftsmanship, this little guy is very good."
The young man's voice was not loud, but after Garfield heard it, he didn't dare to question it anymore and sat down.
Emperor Rex nodded slightly: "Samuel, I recognize your courage and strength, and I now confer you the title of Golden Knight of the Empire. The official canonization ceremony will be held in three days."
Emperor Rex paused, glanced at the young man on the side, and added: "I will give you the qualification to participate in the Dragon Valley Conference in the second half of the year. If you can get the approval of the Dragon Clan, you will officially become a member of the Dragon Cavalry Legion." a member of the
Samuel was overjoyed and quickly knelt down on one knee to thank him. The conferment of Emperor Rex caused a sensation in the entire Royal Arena. It is not too surprising that Samuel became a Golden Knight. After his strength reaches a certain level, he is eligible to become a Golden Knight. Paul is an alternate Golden Knight, but Just skipped the alternate level. With Samuel's performance in defeating Paul today, this kind of jump is understandable.
The most important thing is the qualification for the Dragon Valley Conference later on. This kind of conference is actually the selection contest for the strongest and highest-ranking dragon knights in the empire. It is held every fifty years, and each time there are only ten places. The competition is extremely fierce. It is also difficult for the Golden Knights to obtain this qualification. Unexpectedly, today Emperor Rex directly gave one of the places to Samuel!
Many upper-class nobles began to speculate, is this a signal of the resurgence of the Camplot family? Carlo, the patriarch of the Camplot family, showed an excited expression, and bowed deeply to Emperor Rex. Joanna's father, Fred, was hesitant to accept Samuel, who had been rejected by him, after publicly declaring Joanna and Paul's marriage invalid. After hearing the award, he immediately made up his mind. The second prince Garfield still kept a smile on his face, but there was no trace of a smile in his stiff smile.
Paul, who was standing there in a daze, looked more like an outsider at this time. The glory and reward Samuel had received was another slap in the face. He was the first genius swordsman in the empire, and the paladin commander Pasa The disciple in the school, high-spirited and arrogant, has always been shrouded in the halo of genius and winner, so why has he suffered such a tragic defeat
It wasn't until Chen Rui walked into the field and held him that Paul regained consciousness. He felt as if his body had lost strength, and he could only staggered down by relying on the support.
The news that Samuel defeated the first genius Paul and was canonized as the Golden Knight spread throughout Yerodisha in an instant. It seemed to be a chain reaction. The result of the duel triggered a series of events that followed. The resignation of Leon, the old director of the Imperial Department of Academic Affairs, was approved by Emperor Rex, and the successors were the former director of the Finance Department, Gruzia; and the deputy director of the Department of Academic Affairs, Salvador. Norman was transferred to the Military Council; Carlo, the patriarch of the Camplot family, was appointed as the Director of Finance...
Many discerning people can see that this series of personnel changes is more like a long-planned reshuffle, and the so-called duel is just the fuse. In recent years, the power of church-related families has grown stronger, which has aroused the vigilance of Emperor Rex. In any case, the supreme ruler of an empire is the emperor after all.
Salvador, the patriarch of the Loman family, was originally the most popular candidate for the director of the Department of Educational Affairs. Even Emperor Rex verbally revealed the relevant meaning, but now he has been transferred to the Military Affairs Academy. The position of the two chambers is higher than that of the third department. This transfer appears to be a promotion. In fact, Salvador is just a nominal title in the Military Affairs Academy. It is not comparable to the director of the Department of Academic Affairs who holds real power. Years of contacts and interest networks will gradually disintegrate.
This incident caused the Norman family to be hit harder than it appeared on the surface, and the family's business was affected in various fields. The originally crowded mansion is now deserted, no one comes to the door, even the follower of the Lincoln family, Diego, has disappeared. It can be said that everyone is leaving the tea, only Chen Rui, a "loyal" follower, still persists He stayed and continued to encourage the frustrated Paul.
Seeing the sincere eyes of his followers, Paul was very moved, and finally made up his mind to cheer up again, and went to Baiya to participate in the selection of the temple knights—poor Paul, he couldn't see the corners and tails hidden behind the "sincerity" of classmate Richard, otherwise he would only I'm afraid I'll be so moved that the seven holes bleed.
