The Sword and The Shadow

Chapter 51: Win?

Views:

Fighting spirit is something that every warrior must practice. It is similar to the magic power of a mage. The higher the magic level of a mage, the greater his mental power, and at the same time, he can release higher-level and more terrifying spells. It can be said that magic tempers a person's brain and spirit, while fighting spirit tempers a person's body.

The most intuitive expression is that the higher a person's fighting spirit level, his strength, speed, reaction ability, etc. will become stronger. Although Regnar seems to be thin now, if an ordinary strong adult man were to wrestle with him, he would probably be defeated.

Alvin also has a deep understanding of how strong Kordak is, so even though he appeared very relaxed in front of people, Alvin did not relax his training at all in the past two days.

And I have to say that he is lucky. Alvin, who was on the verge of a breakthrough, finally made himself better on the original basis after more than two days of high-intensity training, and successfully reached level ten. .

Although there is only one level difference, both Kordak and Olwen are veterans who have been fighting for a long time. Even a very small mistake may be seized by the opponent and magnified infinitely and defeated, not to mention Olwen. After Wen reached level ten, his speed and strength improved significantly

Alvin was too tired to parry under Kordak's violent attack before, and had no way to use his speed to gain an advantage. But just now he seized the opportunity to distance himself from Kordak. Now that he had a chance to breathe, he would not waste it. After making a short adjustment, Alvin launched a very sharp counterattack.

The long sword cleverly relieved Kordak's slashing force. Olwen quickly turned around and came to Kordak's left side. The dagger in his left hand stabbed Kordak's waist like a poisonous snake spitting a message. between.

"Drink!" Kordak shouted violently, and the ninth level of fighting spirit suddenly broke out. Although Olwen was not thin, he was still unable to withstand the storm of fighting spirit that Kordak broke out, and was blown back.

However, although Kordak relied on his fighting spirit to avoid the pain of the blade piercing his flesh, he was unable to withstand the sharp edge of Alwin's fighting spirit. There was a faint pain in his waist. It seemed that he was injured by Alwin's fighting spirit. .

Alvin did not intend to give up this rare opportunity. As soon as his feet landed, he exerted force again, and relied on his extremely fast speed to fight with Kordak.

"What should I do? Why did Olwen suddenly become level ten? The boss is not in a good situation right now." Regnar looked at the two people fighting in the field and couldn't help but feel anxious in his heart.

"Don't panic, even if Alvin is a higher level than Kordak, he still doesn't have an advantage in a head-to-head confrontation with Kordak as an assassin. Kordak may not lose." Vera encouraged, but it looked like Her expression must have been anxious for Kordak.

"He won't lose." A bright and sweet voice sounded in the noisy environment.

"Annie? Are you here too?" Regnar turned around and found Annelotte standing beside him at some point.

"Annie, what can you do?" Vera asked quickly when she saw Annelotte arriving. Although this little girl was not older than herself, such a powerful strength still made Vera feel that maybe she could do something.

Annelotte shook her head slightly, and then repeated coldly: "He will not lose."

Annelotte has told Kordak all the information about Alvin. Even if Alvin suddenly breaks through and reaches level ten in the past two days, Kordak can completely make up for these disadvantages with intelligence.

If Kordak can't beat Olwen under such circumstances, then Annelotte will feel that the captain she has found is too bad.

Sure enough, Alvin initially relied on his speed advantage, which in turn put a lot of pressure on Kordak.

But Kordak is worthy of being a veteran mercenary who has been on the battlefield. He adapted to Alvin's speed in a short period of time, and then relied on his accurate prediction to restore his decline. Now there are two people on the scene. People were fighting back and forth, and the fight was evenly matched.

Alvin never expected that Kordak knew him so thoroughly. The sudden increase in his speed did put Kordak under a lot of pressure, but he didn't expect that Kordak could still be there. Make the most accurate judgment in a very short period of time and stabilize the situation. If the fight continues like this, Olwen will definitely not be able to defeat Kordak, who is as strong as an ox.

Seeing that the strong attack did not bring him any gains, Alvin also used his trump card. He took out two smoke bombs from his lower back and threw them to the ground.

These smoke bombs are specially made by the equipment department of the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild. Although they are not toxic and will not affect people's breathing, their dense smoke will greatly restrict people's vision.

According to tests by the Equipment Department, the maximum visible range for humans caught in smoke is only two meters, and some people are even only about one meter. Due to the expensive materials, the price of this smoke bomb reached one gold coin even for internal members. Therefore, although Alvin made preparations, he did not want to waste it easily. He did not use it until Kordak forced him to do nothing.

Thick smoke was released in an instant, and Kordak felt that the whole world turned into a vast whiteness. But he did not rush out of the smoke immediately, because he knew that if he rushed recklessly at this time, he would only lose his life.

Blind fighting, this is Alvin's most confident method. He once spent a lot of money to learn a secret technique in the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild, which can determine the opponent's position through perception when the field of vision is closed.

Although it is not possible to accurately perceive the target's specific movements, being able to perceive the opponent's position when both parties are invisible is already a very big advantage.

"With such thick smoke, what happened to the boss?" Regnar asked with some anxiety. He had seen the essentials of blind fighting in Verles's notes, but he was not sure if Kordak knew about it too.

"Don't worry, Kordak will not die so easily." Vera comforted again, but she glanced at Annelotte intentionally or unintentionally while speaking, as if she wanted to get more information from Annelotte. Great information.

Annelotte still seemed extremely calm at this time, and it was obvious that she was not panicked at all because Kordak was in trouble.

On the contrary, when Alvin used the smoke bomb, she confirmed Kordak's victory. Because one of the key points in the information she gave Kordak was Alvin

With his blind fighting skills, she believed that Kordak was fully prepared to deal with this.

Kordak closed his eyes. He knew that the more critical the situation was, the more he needed to calm down. The man put all his attention on his ears.

Although attacking silently is a basic skill of an assassin, Kordak did not believe that Alvin could give him a fatal blow without him noticing.

The noisy discussions around him gradually subsided, and the onlookers held their breaths. This imminent situation also made them feel uneasy and nervous.

Kordak's brows were furrowed tightly, and he entered a mysterious state. His violent heartbeat was particularly clear in this quiet environment, and there was a rustling sound in the distance, as if it was... The onlookers murmured. Suddenly, a very slight sound of breaking wind reached Kordak's ears.

Right rear!

"Drink!" Kordak suddenly let out a loud shout, and all his fighting energy exploded from his body in an instant. With the blessing of fighting energy, this violent shout formed a substantial sound wave with himself as the center of the circle. spread.

Battle cry, this is a fighting skill that Kordak keeps as a trump card. It does not have many skills. It just gathers all the fighting spirit in the chest, and then releases it all in one cry.

However, since it requires a huge amount of energy to make one's sound waves lethal, this fighting skill can usually only be mastered by high-level warriors with extremely pure and powerful fighting spirit. But Kordak relied on his super physical fitness and huge fighting spirit to master this fighting skill when he was only at level seven.

Vera and others looked at the smoke screen nervously. They could not observe the situation inside at all.

Suddenly, a heartbreaking roar sounded from the smoke screen. Vera's heart tightened. She knew that Kordak had used his battle cry, but she also knew how exhausting this fighting skill was. If this blow did not establish a victory for herself, then Kordak would probably There is no chance to turn around again.

Less than a second after the roar sounded, a figure flew out of the smoke with a bit of embarrassment. After seeing the figure of the person clearly, Regna and Vera secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The man with long hair shawl could only be Alvin. From this point of view, Kordak still had the advantage in this blind fight that blocked all vision.

Alvin flew out of the smoke with a bit of disbelief on his face. Kordak's war cry had a big mental impact on him, and in just half a second, Kordak Without hesitation, Ke turned around and kicked him out with a precise kick.

The war cry had greatly exceeded Alvin's expectations, but he did not expect Kordak to be able to stabilize his mind and judge his position in such a situation. This Kordak surpassed him in terms of combat experience, understanding of his opponent, and mental tenacity. Alvin now realizes that becoming his enemy was a wrong decision.

But it was too late to say anything now, because Kordak's sharp two-handed sword was already placed on Alvin's neck, and this slight chill made Alvin realize the reality.

Kordak's chest rose and fell violently, and the final battle cry was a heavy load for him.

This fighting skill consumes a lot of fighting energy in an instant, but it is difficult to cause substantial damage. Its only advantages are the huge range of influence and the short-term mental impact caused by sound waves.

If he hadn't made up for the last kick, even if Alvin took a front-on battle cry, there wouldn't be much substantial damage.

So Kordak used all his strength in that blow, almost crushing Alvin's sternum. Although Kordak almost exhausted all his physical strength in an instant, fortunately Alvin had been completely subdued by him.

Kordak's face showed a look of struggle, and finally he slowly put away his two-handed sword under Alvin's slightly horrified eyes.

"I'll let you live today. Go away and don't let me see you again in the future." Kordak glanced at Alvin contemptuously and turned around to leave.

Alvin coughed up two mouthfuls of blood. He looked at Kordak's back and stood up slowly. But just when everyone thought Alvin would leave in embarrassment, Alvin suddenly accelerated forward. Before Kordak had time to react, he inserted his dagger into his back.

"Let me live? Are you worthy of it?" Alvin wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and whispered in Kordak's ear.
