Chapter 51: A Crushing Victory
The crowd of onlookers exploded in an instant, and there was no doubt that anyone who was not blind in the duel just now could see that Kordak had won.
Although this is supposed to be a life-and-death duel, if the victor has the intention to let the opponent live, there is nothing that cannot be done.
But that's where the problem lies, a duel to the death will decide the winner in two scenarios. One is when one of the duels dies, and the duel ends. The other is the case of Kordak, where the dominant side completely suppresses the opponent, and then the notary determines that the superior side wins and the duel is over.
But although Kordaq completely suppressed the opponent, the notary of the Mercenary Alliance did not have time to announce the result of the duel, which means that the duel was not over at this time. Therefore, it was not against the rules of the duel that Orvin got up and attacked at this time, but the crowd of onlookers was disgusted by his despicable behavior.
"Despicable villain, how can there be a scum like you in Meteorite City!"
"Shameless, Kordack kindly let you live, and you actually made a sneak attack!"
"! Falling Star City can't accommodate a shameless person like you!"
After seeing Orwin's despicable actions, the crowd suddenly erupted in bursts of shouting and scolding, but they also knew the rules, the duel was not over yet, and they couldn't step forward at this time.
"Hell, Alwin's scum!" Regna's face instantly darkened.
Vera was also annoyed, she didn't understand why Cordak would take it lightly at the last minute, she took her bow and arrows, ready to break the rules of the duel and shoot Orwin.
"The duel isn't over, are you so unprepared to leave?" Alvin sarcastically said, knowing that this was the end of the story, and whether this duel was won or lost, there would probably be no place for him in Falling Star City in the future. Now that he has reached such a field, Alvin naturally chose a path to go to the dark, at least this guy Kordaq will definitely not let him live anymore.
"......" Cordak spat out a mouthful of blood and muttered in a low voice.
"What else do you want to say before you die? Don't worry, I'll dig out your heart and make wine." Alvin twitched the dagger in his hand slightly, imagining the pain that Cordak was suffering at this moment, and the feeling made him almost tremble with excitement.
He used his fighting energy to cause damage to Kordak's body while stabbing Kordak with a dagger, this is one of his fighting skills, although it may not destroy his organs, but it can limit the opponent's movement very well, if he does not have amazing physical strength and recovery, then Kordak will have to close his eyes and wait for death now.
He drew his dagger and took a few steps back, ready to deliver the final blow to Kordak.
Kordak's two-handed sword fell to the ground with a "clang", and his body trembled as if it was going to fall at any moment.
"Well, goodbye. Alvin eased his breath a little, then rushed to Kordak with his back to him again.
But at the moment of Orwin's action, Kordak also began his own movements, he suddenly pulled Regner's flaming blade from his waist, and then quickly twisted and swung the dagger in Orwin's stunned gaze.
Alvin's stomach cracked in an instant under the sharp blade of the Flaming Blade, and his entrails flowed out like overturned gruel.
Vitality quickly faded from his body, and Alvin couldn't understand why Kordaq was able to fight back despite the heavy damage to his body, but in the end, he could only reluctantly take one last look at the world, and then collapsed in a pool of blood.
"I didn't expect to be saved by the fall of this moon again. Kordak thought to himself with a wry smile, he looked at Regna and Vera who wanted to run quickly, the one next to him, it seemed to be Annelot?
Kordaq took two difficult steps, and then found that his vision gradually darkened, and finally the heavens and the earth seemed to spin, and finally his vision was only dark.
Annelot pushed Vera away, who was in a hurry, and then calmly chanted a spell to check Kordak's injuries with magic.
After a moment, Annelot glanced at Kordak with some surprise, then nodded and said, "It's lucky, but it hurt his lungs, and if the dagger deviates by two centimeters, I'm afraid it will cut his heart." ”
Regner took out the healing potion that had been prepared a long time ago, and then worked with Vera to treat Kordak's wounds.
Annelot looked at Kordak's wound and was a little surprised to see that it was slowly healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a thoughtful expression appeared on her face.
After dealing with Kordak in an emergency, the Mercenary Alliance was also very enthusiastic in sending someone to send Kordak back to the bright stars. After Vera also invited a middle-level priest who had been invited in advance, and after paying ten gold coins for the priest to treat, Kordak was finally out of danger, and it was not until this time that the two of them, who had been busy all day, finally had time to rest.
Since Annelot also helped a lot today, Vera also warmly invited her to dinner with her.
"Thanks to Anne today, come, this cup is my thanks to you. "Vera didn't drink very well, but she had a few drinks with Annelot.
"I ...... I don't drink. Anne Lott hesitated.
"Oh, it's okay, come on, come on, try two drinks, no more. Vera enthusiastically handed the glass to Annelot.
Since there were two women present, Vera opted for a more refreshing fruit wine instead of Cordak's favourite Agni Hug.
But even the light fruit wine, which was as light as a drink, made Annelot hesitate for the first time, and her small ice-blue eyebrows were slightly wrinkled together, but after a moment they were stretched out again. Obviously, her first impression of wine was not bad.
Regner drank a large glass of wine directly on the side, he was still so busy that his mouth was dry, and this light fruit wine seemed to him to be no different from fruit juice.
It is worth mentioning that although Regna is small in stature, he is surprisingly able to drink, and although he does not drink as much as Kordak, he is second only to him in the squad, and even Selenos is not his opponent.
"If you drink wine, you have to drink it in a big gulp to be happy. Seeing that Anne Lot was drunk, Regner took the lead in making a demonstration and then said with a little encouragement.
Anne Lot looked at the fuchsia liquid in the glass, hesitated for a moment, and then followed Regner's example and dried it down.
A touching blush instantly appeared on Annelot's face, and her originally blown face looked particularly delicate against the backdrop of two blushes. Although there was still that cold expression on her face, the two colors that suddenly appeared also made this beautiful girl's face even more breathtaking.
Regner stared at Annelot with his eyes, and although he had been in contact with her a lot these days, he still did not form any resistance to Annelot's beauty. It wasn't until Vera stomped on him hard and gave him a big roll of the eye that he came to his senses.
"I have something to ask you. Annelot's face flushed slightly, but she didn't seem to notice anything wrong, neither her expression nor her tone of voice had changed in the same way as before.
"You say, you say. Regner had a "knowing everything, saying everything" expression.
Annelot was silent for a moment before saying, "Did Cordak take Moon Fall?" ”
Regner and Vera were slightly startled, then looked at each other.
After a long time, Vera sighed and said, "Since you have joined our team, Annie, we shouldn't hide anything from you. That's right, he did take Moon Sinking. ”
Anne Lot nodded, she was a little strange when Cordak was seriously injured and still killed Orwin with her backhand. Alvin's fighting skills could be said to be invincible before, but he was deflated by Kordaq. Later, after seeing his outrageous recovery speed, Anne Lot also had a guess in her mind.
"That'...... Annie, you ......" Vera asked tentatively, not sure if Annie Lott would quit the team because of Kordak.
Annelot shook her head knowingly, "Rest assured, Cordak is a good captain, and I won't quit easily because of this." It's just that the Elixir of Moon Sinking gives people the ability to regenerate while also eating away at their life force, and when I examined his injuries, I accidentally discovered that his life potential was running out. ”
"What?" Vera was a little incredulous, he knew when he was in the elven tribe that the fall of the moon might kill people, but he didn't expect that Kordak's situation had reached this point.
"Up to five years. Anne Lott thought for a moment and said.
"No way! Kordak is so strong, how can he have less than five years left to live!" Vera didn't want to agree with Annelot's words.
"Don't worry, even though he only has five years to live, that's enough time for us to find a way to make up for it. Annelot motioned for Vera to calm down.
"What's the solution?" asked Vera quickly.
"......" Annelot shook her head: "I don't know yet, but there are many treasures that enhance the vitality of human beings, as long as we inquire carefully, we can always find some clues." ”
"Yes...... Vera also knew that Kordak's problem would not be solved overnight, and she tried to calm herself down, but also determined to investigate more related matters in the future.
"Annie, your teacher is a high-level mage, so does he have any treasures that can prolong his life? Regner asked suddenly.
"I'm sorry, but my teacher has been out for a long time and I don't know when he will be back. As for his treasures, I have no way of finding them myself. Anne Lott casually made up a reason.
"That's right. Regner was not too disappointed, he had long known that Annelot's teacher was not in Meteor City, so he just asked casually, not to mention the gifts of others for no reason, with Kordak's character, I am afraid he would not accept them.
The dinner afterwards seemed a bit depressing, and Anne Lott had just wanted to remind them kindly, but she didn't expect it to make both of them a little uneasy. This made the girl feel a little uncomfortable, so she did not shirk the toast of Van Vera and Regner at dinner, and when she was finished, she found that she was a little drunk.
"Hey, little Lei, go and send Anne back, or there may be danger to one of her girls' house at night. Vera also knew a little bit of Ragner's thoughts, so she wanted to help him.
"Oh, who would dare to provoke her as an eleventh-level mage, even if she encounters any trouble, only she will protect me. Regner didn't think that much, and immediately explained the unreasonableness of Vera's arrangement.
"If you want to go, you will go, dare not listen to the old lady!" Seeing that her good intentions were ignored by Regner, Vera was suddenly a little angry, and she slapped Regner on the back of the head and kicked him out.
Regner touched the back of his head with a faint ache and felt a little dizzy, but he was forced by Vera's obscenity to obediently follow Annelot out of the hotel.
