"Are you my opponent in this competition?" Rego looked at the audience with a grin, and then the guy nodded: "You look stronger than the previous ones."
"Oh..." Kordak put his hand on his forehead. He had heard Regnar say that there was something wrong with the barbarian's eyes, but he didn't expect that his eyes were so misaligned. He said somewhat helplessly: "Should I be honored by your praise?"
"The ancestors taught us to respect every opponent we play against. It's just that compared to my other opponents, I admire you more." Rego still "looked" at the audience.
"Then will you take any special care of the opponents you admire?" Kordak smiled easily: "For example, be gentler?"
"No." Rego shook his head: "Only by fully demonstrating your own strength is the best tribute to your opponent."
"So..." Kordak said with a wry smile: "I will be injured more seriously than others?"
"By saying that, you have already concluded that you can't beat me. A warrior without fighting spirit cannot win," Rego said.
"Okay, whatever you say." Kordak shrugged: "I don't expect to beat you, but I will never let you defeat me without itching or pain. After this game, the two of us Every city needs a priest."
"I'm looking forward to your so-called priest's healing skills." Rego said with a smile. Until now, this barbarian's wounds have been treated by applying ointments, not even healing potions. And now this guy actually said that he would be beaten so much that he would need to use healing techniques? I really don’t know whether he is confident or arrogant.
"Although this Rego is a foreigner, I have to say that he still has some strength." Joffrey said with a smile: "But I think that if she meets you Annie in the future, she will definitely not be your opponent."
"He won't meet me." Annelotte shook her head. In fact, she had been paying close attention to this competition these days. Judging from the grouping, after Rego defeated Kordak and entered the top eight, he The next opponent is Lei from the tenth group. Who this Lei is and what his strength is, Annelotte knows best.
"Oh? Do you think this Kordak can beat Rhaego?" Joffrey obviously misunderstood Annelotte's meaning. He glanced at Kordak from a distance, and then said: "I have seen that Kordak before. In Erdak's game, it can be seen that he is a veteran warrior with very rich combat experience. But I don't think his experience is enough for him to overturn the power gap. Then Rego is an attribute ability user. Annie, this I’m afraid you guessed wrong this time.”
Annelotte glanced at Joffrey indifferently, but was too lazy to explain anything to him. She just said: "The game has begun."
"Come on, let's have a good fight!" Kordak's whole temperament seemed to have changed when the host announced the start of the game. If he was a cheerful and easy-going man before, now Kordak has become a brave and fierce warrior!
"Okay! What I want is this magnanimity!" Rego's eyes flashed with appreciation when he saw Kordak's performance. He put away his contemptuous attitude and prepared to take this opponent seriously.
Kordak pulled out his two-handed sword and thought silently in his heart: Is he a person with attribute abilities? Hey! Also a person with attribute abilities. But don't think that attribute abilities are everything. Although I, Kordak, don't have attribute abilities, I still have the power to fight you. This game belongs to me, Kordak!
Yes, although Kordak didn't usually show it, his long-term relationship with Regnar also made Kordak have some unfriendly feelings towards these attribute ability users.
In fact, this is not because Kordak is petty, but the gap in the past three years is really too big. Just imagine, you took in a little brother three years ago. This guy hangs around behind you all day long, calling him boss one after another. You patiently teach him how to do things and everything! He knows nothing and listens to you in everything, just like your follower.
But what about three years later? He has grown up! He has become stronger! And it becomes very powerful! It's so powerful that it can easily defeat itself without any attribute abilities. Don't you have some strange emotions in your heart? Don't you ask yourself repeatedly in your mind whether you are old and useless
Kordak had such a mentality. Regnar's rapid progress made him both gratified and frightened. He was relieved that his little brother had finally grown up and was finally able to stand on his own. But when looking at Regnar, Kordak would also feel a bit of fear while being relieved. He is afraid, afraid of being weak, afraid of being incompetent, afraid of being old.
Regnar's "boss" call called Kordak for three years. Three years ago, Kordak was struck by the word. But now, when he heard this word, he always felt a bit harsh and awkward. He knew that although Regnar had grown up, his attitude towards him had not changed. But he is just awkward and can't even beat his younger brother. Can he still be worthy of being the boss
Therefore, Kordak has never liked attribute ability users. Annelotte and Regnar are the people closest to him, so he naturally has no resentment.
But others are different, just like this Rego. He was obviously only one level higher than me, but at the beginning of the game, he spoke to himself like a winner and a master! Although Kordak is not a proud man, his many years of life and death battles have left him with an unshakable blood and backbone in his heart! He was unhappy with Rego's face! Very unhappy!
Now that you are unhappy, what should you do? Nonsense! Of course I hit him! You have to fight even if you can't beat him. Even if you are seriously injured, you can't make this guy feel better! I, Kordak, can be weak, but I will never allow anyone to slight me! Whoever dares to despise me, I will let anyone know how powerful I am!
"Drink!" Kordak shouted violently, dragging his two-handed sword and rushing towards Rego.
Rego suddenly grinned as he looked at Kordak, who was charging towards him in a menacing manner. He found that he liked this opponent more and more, even though he said he didn't care about the result of the game. But looking at his momentum, it seems that he has a desperate plan to fight against himself. Want to fight? Then let’s fight!
Rego directly condensed a layer of earth skin on his body. Then, he slightly arched his legs and inserted two pairs of big hands into the earth.
"Ha!" Rego shouted, and then pulled out two stone axes from the earth. But they are obviously not made of ordinary stones. Just from the shining luster on the ax blade, it can be seen that Rego used his attribute ability to strengthen the two weapons in his hands.
"Breaking through the air!" Kordak rushed in front of Rego at an extremely fast speed, then he dragged his two-handed sword to the right rear of his body and started to exert force from his legs. The power was transmitted from his legs to his waist, and then poured from his waist to his arms.
The powerful fighting spirit was aroused in an instant. Villeless once said that Kordak was a warrior who tended to have fire attributes, but now, with a large amount of fighting spirit condensed, it actually began to have a certain impact on the surrounding temperature.
Rego felt a heat wave hit him, and then, the sword blade wrapped in a light red fighting spirit swung over. He raised his hands to block, and then a huge impact was transmitted from the weapon, almost making his arms numb.
"Okay! That's how exciting it is!" Rego said excitedly. In his excitement, he forgot about the language difference and said this sentence directly in Dothraki (the Dothraki people call themselves the highland barbarians, and their language is also hence the name Dothraki) was spoken.
"Attribute fighting spirit! Boss can activate attribute fighting spirit!" Regnar almost jumped up excitedly when he saw Kordak's fighting spirit taking on a color.
"This silly man..." Vera's eyes became wet unconsciously when she saw this scene. When she knew that his opponent was Rego, it was not that Vera didn't persuade him. The conversation at that time is still fresh in her memory.
…
"Girl, am I getting old?" Kordak suddenly asked after hearing Vera's dissuasion.
"That's the same thing, you're only twenty-four years old, you're an old fart!" Vera curled her lips.
"But I really feel old." Kordak smiled bitterly: "Look, I can't even play in such a game. These days, I gradually realize that I am actually quite weak."
"A thirteenth-level warrior still feels weak? You are the top sixteen in the mid-level group of the Hawke Empire." Vera also saw the unwillingness and helplessness in Kordak's tone.
"But, I think it's still not enough." Kordak said: "Since I lost Silenos, I have actually been quite tired of living alone. I always feel that I can lead the team well, and I always feel that I can lead the team well. I can give you a stable life. But what is the result? Annie almost died to save us, and Xiao Lei had to break up with the Eye of the Secret to save us. From then on, there was no place for us in Lance Continent. We were forced I escaped to the continent of Chino, and the problem of my werewolf ancestry was temporarily suppressed with the help of Xiao Lei. I... I suddenly felt that I was quite useless. "
"These things are not your responsibility alone." Vera said softly.
"But as the leader of the team, I must be responsible for all this, but the most ridiculous thing is..." Kordak laughed at himself: "I found that I can't bear this responsibility at all."
"..." Vera looked at Kordak speechlessly. This man had unprecedented guilt and self-blame on his face. She didn't know how long Kordak had kept these emotions hidden, but there was no doubt that repressed feelings like these must be extremely painful.
"Hey, Kordak." Vera gently stroked her man's unshaven face and said softly: "I don't blame you. We don't blame you. None of this is your fault."
"But, but I really feel bad." Kordak sighed: "So, let me continue to fight. I know I may not be able to beat him. But I want to prove that my hard work is still effective. Yes, I don’t want to be so powerless anymore. For everyone, and even more for you, I must become stronger."
