draw
When the magic bell rang, Darko and the others all let out a long breath, and a tight string finally loosened. Leah even fell to the side as soon as her 'legs' went limp, but it was Wendy who helped her to prevent her from falling. Although they didn't use much physical strength, the tension of the 'spirit' made them all very tired, as if they had just experienced a hard battle.
On one side of the Costner team, several people also sat on the ground, and it seemed that it was not easy either. Only Android was still standing proudly in the middle of the armed zone, only his face was slightly pale, and he was staring at Kevin, and their eyes seemed to collide with sparks in the air.
Although the armed phase is over, the new hanging by Darko and others is still not falling. Because half an hour of arming is just foreplay, and the next ring match is the key to determining the outcome of the game.
"Ask the contestants on both sides to give the orc warriors the 'medicine' within a minute, and leave the armed zone, and the ring match will begin soon. β
As the voice of the chief referee sounded, both sides of the game left the armed zone one after another and returned to the stands, anxiously waiting for the next game. In order not to affect the state of the orcs, the ring matches start immediately after the end of the armament phase, with no pauses or intervals in between.
When Darko and the others returned to the waiting area in the stands, the 'gate' facing the ring side of the armed zone had slowly opened. The orc warriors on both sides were already able to see each other through the entire ring. But none of them rushed out in the first place, much to the surprise of all the viewers.
From the beginning of the group stage, the orc warriors of each team in the ring battle stage will rush out as soon as the floodgates are opened. The reason is simple, under the effect of the madness 'potion', the orc warrior will attack all creatures in sight at all costs. But the orc warriors in the stands couldn't attack, so they naturally launched an attack on the enemy warriors on the opposite side, fighting to the death. But now the two orc warriors on the field obviously did not follow such a convention, and only walked into the ring at a uniform speed step by step.
Ashiba was able to stay awake because Otto lowered the concentration of the madness 'potion', and only in this state could Otto's fighting skills be brought into play. After many experiments by Leah and Otto, the current madness 'medicine' was refined, and while reducing the concentration, the effect time of the 'medicine' effect was extended, so that the effect time of the madness was close to 30 minutes, which means that the whole game was in a semi-crazy state. Because Darko and the others were able to communicate with Ashiba and teach him combat skills, his combat effectiveness in his semi-mad state was even greater than that in his mad state. Therefore, this kind of 'medicine' is also the most suitable for Acciba, and it is also the valuable experience accumulated by the Darko team after many previous games.
But when they saw that the orc warriors of the Costner team were in the same state, and did not rush forward as madly as in the previous game, the faces of Darko and the others immediately became a little more solemn. Their biggest advantage lies in Aciba's own fighting skills, and if the opponent can do this too, then the chances of victory will undoubtedly be reduced.
The two orc warriors stared at each other like this, and walked to the center of the ring step by step, and when they were only five meters apart, they suddenly broke out at the same time, rushing towards each other with lightning speed. In the eyes of the orc warriors of the Costner team, a little red light expanded in an instant, and the eyes were instantly dyed blood-red. The two orc warriors' fists flashed with dazzling brilliance, smashing into each other like meteors, and in one place in the brilliance, the two sides had already 'switched' positions.
The orc warriors of the Costner team stood firmly, but Ashiba's body shook violently and almost fell. But there was no time for Assiba to adjust, as the orc warriors of Costner's team immediately reflexively rushed over and attacked with a single punch. Ashiba also hurriedly threw his fist to resist, but it was obvious that he was down.
In the stands of the Colosseum, there were also a small number of fighters, and they were also moved when they saw the performance of the orc warriors. In the past ring matches, the orc warriors have never performed like this, all of them rush forward desperately regardless of it, which can certainly burst out of power in an all-round way, but there is no room for adaptation, as long as the opponent dodges slightly, they can avoid the edge and then counterattack. Of course, the orc warriors who have taken the madness 'medicine' will not dodge.
This is also the reason why warfighters disdain to watch orc competitions, even if they are armed to the teeth and have no combat skills, they are not the opponents of Terran warfighters of the same level. However, now they saw an incredible scene, the two orc warriors only launched an attack at close range, and at a distance of five meters, they could burst out their strength, and they could respond at any time, attacking and defending.
"Huh?" Walker's eyes narrowed slightly in the main stands, "These little guys are not simple, they actually allow orc warriors to stay calm after taking the madness 'potion', and what is even more rare is that they have also mastered some simple combat skills." β
"What I value more is that they've been hiding in the previous games. Maxi also nodded yes, "Being able to endure so many games, even in the face of strong opponents, did not expose their hole cards, it shows that they are all here to win the championship." β
"Huh?" Lei 'Meng' on the side was also moved, and said in surprise, "The 'inducing' 'drug' turned out to be the 'inducing' 'drug', this Kostner team is not simple!"
At this time, the spectators in the stands had already discovered that Aciba's eyes only maintained a slight reddish 'color', not the red that should be in the mad state, which was the effect of the diluted madness 'medicine'. The orc warriors of the Costner team were not crazy at all, but every time they attacked, their white 'colored' eyes instantly turned red, and they immediately returned to their original state after the attack.
"Do you mean...... Is this ...... 'inducing' 'drug'?" the bespectacled teenager of the Rochechren 'Gate' Ding team covered his mouth and said to himself, "The Kostner team must have separated the 'drug' effect of the madness 'drug', and did not let it dissolve in the blood, but hid in the depths of various internal organs. Only before each attack, when the 'stimulated' of killing intent is triggered, a part of the 'medicine' effect will be released, allowing the orc warrior to have an increase in the frenzied state at the moment of attack, and then return to calm immediately after the attack. β
"Is this 'drug' very powerful?" asked Si'Mon' Ni, who didn't know much about the professional terminology of 'pharmacist', and asked suspiciously.
"'Inducing' a 'drug' agent is not the name of a 'drug', but a general term for a type of action. For example, some families will have some kind of 'medicine' that 'stimulates' the potential of the bloodline and strengthens the combat effectiveness in a short time, but the side effects will also be very obvious, whether the side effects are longevity or long-term weakness, they are unwilling to bear. Therefore, those families will make this 'medicine' into the form of 'inducing' 'medicine' and give it to each family member, usually lurking in the depths of the blood and will not have any effect, once the life of the family member is threatened, the effect of the 'medicine' will be 'induced' to be released, and perhaps they will be able to escape with the help of the increase in the effect of 'medicine'. The boy thought for a moment and continued to explain, "But the 'inducing' mode is relatively simple, and when there is a large loss of vitality, or when you are seriously injured and dying, there will be very obvious signs, and it is very simple to use this as a guide to 'stimulate' the effect of the 'medicine'." However, the orc warriors of the Costner team only enter a state of frenzy at the moment of each attack, which is likely to be 'induced' by killing intent, and killing intent, which is something that cannot be seen or touched, is naturally difficult to grasp. Speaking of this, he also became excited, and the previous loss to the GafreΕak team was swept away, "I thought that the Kostner team was only very powerful, but I didn't expect that their 'pharmacist' was not bad, and it must be beyond the level of ordinary 'pharmacist' masters." β
At this point, the battle on the field had become stalemate, and although Ashiba had fallen at the beginning, it made timely adjustments. You can always dodge the opponent's attack when you are in the nick of time, and even if you can't dodge, you can rely on the skill of unloading to minimize the damage. On the other hand, the orc warriors of the Costner team will have a momentary dullness between the transition between madness and calm, and this will soon be used by Aceba, seizing the opportunity is a fierce attack, and quickly recovering the disadvantage.
"Even if it's just an intermittent 'sex' madness, with the intelligence of an orc, they shouldn't know any fighting skills when they're calm, right?
"In fact, the orc warriors are not very low, but they are just a little lower than other races, their race itself does not have any inheritance of combat skills, and the language barrier and cannot 'communicate' with other races, the overall combat effectiveness is naturally poor. But just because you can't learn them doesn't mean you can't teach them. Through conditional counter-shooting training and certain rewards and punishments, orc warriors can also master certain combat skills, which is the same reason as circus training animals to perform acrobatics. However, combat skills are still too complicated compared to acrobatics, and I have tried to make orc warriors learn their records through electric shock punishment, but the effect is not ideal. "The little boy 'touched' his nose, as if he was blaming himself for not being able to train the orc warriors well.
At this time, Arroyo turned around and patted the little boy's head with a smile, "You don't have to blame yourself, what you can't do, other teams can't do easily." Presumably, there must be professional animal trainers in the two teams on the field. β
"Whew. "The orc warriors of the Costner team launched one 'wave' after another of fierce attacks, their eyes maintaining a red complexion almost non-stop, and the coherent and powerful attacks forced Aciba to defend with all his might.
Asiba has also discovered the characteristics of the opponent through observation, although with the help of the 'lure' and 'medicine', he can enter a state of frenzy at the moment of attack, but the switch of this state will also cause his movements to be unsmooth. After being used by Assiba to counterattack several times, the opponent immediately changed his strategy, and did not attack easily, but entered a state of frenzy and launched a series of attacks after finding an opportunity. This tactic clearly worked, as Assiba was always beaten back by the opponent's onslaught, unable to grasp the momentary sluggishness when his frenzy was lifted.
But Atsiba is not without thinking about countermeasures, even the other party's orcs who rely on conditional counter-shooting to domesticate combat skills can change their tactics on the spot, not to mention Atsiba, a powerful orc who was taught by Otto. Regardless of the armament on his body, Ashiba would naturally not be worse than the other party, because he is a fighter who has experienced the second class change. At that time, after Aciba's successful transfer, he was no longer an ordinary orc warrior, but close to the strength of the orc leader. Now Aciba's own 'nature', after being armed by Darko and others, is already equivalent to the strength of the Terran Great Sword Master, and his combat effectiveness alone is no longer inferior to anyone in Darko's team. Assiba once asked Otto what the nature of the job change was. Otto replied that changing jobs is not simply a change of career, nor is it just a choice of specialization, but a change in the system. It is a style of life, or a change in the way of thinking about life, which is reflected in different people, and its manifestations are different. At first, Aciba was a little confused, but now it knows what its transformation is, and that is wisdom.
After the transfer was completed, Ashiba had already discovered that many of the combat skills that Otto had taught him had been half-understood before, but after the transfer, he figured it out at once. This is not only an increase in IQ, but also an enhancement of understanding and fighting instinct, and more importantly, the determination of the future and direction. When Dakko was just able to communicate with it, although it managed to convince it to wake up and contribute to the game, it was still a little 'confused'. At this moment, Ashiba has a clear idea of what he wants, and he wants to constantly defeat all kinds of powerful enemies and become the legendary saint warrior. Finally, he broke through the holy level, embarked on the road of becoming a god, and led the entire race to glory and completed a great revival like the beast god of war thousands of years ago.
Aciba's body was already retreating, but his eyes had become resolute, and he suddenly raised the elbows of his arms and blocked them in front of his chest. Costner's next blow to Aciba's shoulders slammed into Aciba's elbow. The arms of both sides were shining with bursts of magical brilliance at the same time, and without using fist gloves to attack, this brilliance was naturally emitted by the glyphs on their bodies.
Bang. With a dull sound, both figures fell back at the same time, Ashiba had been backing up before, this time to the wall on the edge of the ring. And the orc warriors of the Costner team were even more unbearable, it failed to regain its balance after retreating more than a dozen steps, and sat on the ground with its ass, although it immediately stood up, but it was obviously not lightly injured.
When Darko saw this, he clenched his fists excitedly. Although the other party pressed them in terms of 'medicine', he succeeded in the glyph, copying the glyph directly on Asiba's body, and the amplification effect obviously exceeded that of the other party. This at least shows that he, as the inscriptionist of the Darko team, did not lag the team back, which is the best reward for his efforts for more than half a year.
In terms of 'medicine', the Kostner team had a slight advantage, and in the glyph side, the Dakko team had the advantage, and the impact of the two on combat effectiveness almost canceled each other. Then then, only the glove competition remains. As the most important part of arming orcs, the small fist gloves are the content that puts the most 'fine' energy. The roles of the three professions of decomposer, enchanter, and foundry in the team will be reflected in the fist gauntlet, so the fist glove is also the link that has the greatest impact on the orc's combat effectiveness. There was no shortage of these in the ring before them, with one team relying on a narrow advantage in the gloves to establish the advantage and eventually emerge victorious.
The two orc warriors on the field gasped violently for a while, and then rushed to each other at the same time, hitting each other without reservation. The gloves shone with enchanted brilliance, carrying a powerful force, and there was a fierce collision in the center of the ring. When both sides have mastered similar combat skills, they will not be able to achieve victory through skill, and can only rely on the strength of the battle to decide the victory.
As the minutes passed, the orc warriors on both sides were still fighting fiercely, and they never formed a one-sided advantage. After watching for such a long time, the audience gradually discovered that the two sides were evenly matched in terms of the armament of orc warriors. And this conclusion shocked those master-level auxiliary professionals, and the 'medicine' and glyphs were just that, in terms of the casting of the gloves, Android's 'fine' quasi-like alchemy machine made everyone remember it vividly, and the advantages of the Kostner team in this regard were recognized. However, the boxing gloves of the orc warriors of the Darko team did not fall behind when they faced the Costner team head-on in the ring, which is enough to show that Kevin, the jeweler of the Darko team, has been able to compete with Android in terms of technical level!
In the blink of an eye, the magic clock in the ring had reached 25 minutes, and there were only five minutes left before the game was over. The offensive of the two orc warriors on the field also gradually slowed down, and after each attack, there would be a longer respite before they could accumulate the strength of the next attack.
In the noisy stands, some people gradually raised their voices to cheer for the orc warriors, not for the side they bet on, but purely for the two orc warriors who brought this 'fine' color game, and everyone could see that they had fought with all their might. The sound of cheering gradually increased, causing the audience to 'excited' emotions, and almost all the audience cheered for the orc warriors on the field. At this moment, it seems that the orc warriors on the field are no longer slaves, but heroes.
"Come on, Aciba!"
"Hurry up and defeat it, sister will buy you candy to eat!"
"Aciba, hold on!"
Darko and the others were all on their feet, shouting and cheering for Aciba. Being able to say that the game dragged on to 25 minutes is already a win for this game. But now they didn't even think about how much money they had won, or even if they could get the treasures in the collection hall. Dacko and the other six were just paying attention to the game in front of them at this time, simply hoping that Aciba, who represented his team, could win.
Bang. Assiba and Kostner's orc warriors threw a hard punch and nearly fell as they stepped away from each other. At this time, its face was covered in blood, and its body was also covered with dark blue 'color' scars. The other party's condition is not better than Aciba's, and even a small half of his teeth have been knocked out. Both sides are still desperately attacking, but they have no strength anymore.
In Ashiba's eyes, the figure of the other orc warrior was a little blurred, and the blood on his forehead flowed into his eyes, affecting its vision. The figure on the other side still staggered towards it, but it saw a double ghost, as if four or five orcs were rushing towards it at the same time. Asiba tried to tell which one was the other's true body, but it backfired, and the vague figure kept swaying in its eyes like a ghost. Asiba could only stare at the shadow in the center, let out a roar of rage, and swung his iron fist with all his might.
Rumble. The two orc warriors fell to the ground at the same time after this blow, and the chief referee was stunned for a moment before remembering to start the countdown, "Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one!
The audience was in an uproar, and the final of this year's Alchemy Grand Prix ended in a draw.
