Chapter 5: The Fiasco
Leo's feeling now is wonderful, from the moment he holds the sword in his hand, a strong sense of familiarity seems to burst from his heart, and the countless memories of the knight in the past awaken like a wave. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Trembling and trembling with excitement, he looked at the blade he was holding, and suddenly, he was stunned, Leo saw his face for the first time on the smooth metal surface.
It was a familiar face, with black hair and black eyes, which he used to create the game's character, close to his own appearance in reality.
That face has appeared countless times in the course of history, the Helldemon Conspiracy, the Destruction Cemetery, the King's Destiny Battle, etc., that used to be the existence that all knights yearn for.
The real, powerful and countless scenes engraved in the inner world seem to turn into warmth, flowing from the mind and everywhere in the body.
Even if the honor and strength of the past are gone, even if the current weakness is far away from the memory of yourself, the truth of that experience will never be erased.
Therefore, he believed that he had the heart to lift the sword and fight bravely.
Although this is also the first time he has really raised a sword.
The weight in his hand, the cold metal touch, brought him back to his senses, and the battle was about to begin.
"Whew, it's really, it's crossed, damn."
Leo laughed self-deprecatingly in a voice that he could only hear. Although he was unacceptable, he was forced to accept this reality by real experiences again and again, and he had left the world he was in before and had a new beginning.
He raised his head, calmly, and looked directly at his opponent.
"Confident looks, Mr. Leo."
Kiel looked at Leo and said a compliment, like a refreshing breeze.
After all, he has experienced perfect knightly training, whether it is the etiquette of battle, or the posture of the enemy, Kiel has achieved an impeccable level, and for Leo, the Kiel in front of him is a person who surpasses him in all aspects.
Leo, however, was not afraid.
Because he felt that he could win, with his superior understanding of sword skills, and with the countless glories of the past.
To everyone's surprise, Leo, as the outright underdog, took the lead.
In a battle of unequal strength, it is a very unwise choice for the weaker side to take the lead. Those who are experienced in combat, mercenaries like Adonis, knights like Dubrain know this.
So in the previous battle, Adonis has always chosen to defend, trying to find a flaw in Dubowen's offensive, but in the end he still failed, Dubran is very strong, and in Adonis's opinion, his offensive is not leaky.
But now, as long as anyone can see, Leo is lame, rushing forward with a sword without any skills, and his whole body is full of flaws of one kind or another, which is simply something that only a reckless man without martial arts can do.
It's really a fluctuation without magical power, and it seems that it's really weak.
Kir calmly looked at Leo who rushed in at him, thinking to himself.
The moment Leo's sword tip approached Kiel's eyes, Kiel's sword slammed into his hands, like the sun suddenly blooming in the night.
Kiel's eyes became blurry, and only a white patch could be seen.
An unimaginable sense of oppression was thrown upon him in an instant, almost crushing him in the next moment, and in just one moment, Leo felt like a century had passed.
He felt his own insignificance and powerlessness, the so-called gap between ants and giants.
Leo felt the heat flowing down his head and the feeling of shame rising from the depths of his heart.
In the eyes of others, Kiel didn't even move at all, and just before Leo was about to touch Kiel, he was completely overwhelmed by Kiel's momentum and fell and broke his head.
Of course, in the eyes of most people, this is an extremely normal thing, and if Leo had been under Kiel for a moment, they would have really felt incredible.
"Leo! Fast...
Alina was a little panicked, and the idea of stopping the fight immediately came to mind, but the words of Kiel were also recalled before.
"Of course, this has nothing to do with Lord Alina, there is no need to blame yourself, this matter involves the conflict between the mercenaries and us, and it also involves Duboran's own honor."
Alina bit her lip tightly and lowered her head, looking complicated and frustrated.
"Lord Alina, don't worry, Knight Captain Kiel hasn't made a move yet, has he, as long as that Leo bows his head a little and admits defeat, it'll be fine, isn't it?"
The knight on the side seemed to be unable to bear to be so frustrated by Alina, and spoke.
However, before Alina could respond, he muttered to himself in confusion.
"Why would the Knight Chief of Kiel exchange names with such a weak man and engage in such a battle?"
Alina was stunned, she was a little uneasy, she had already sensed the slight hostility that Kiel had shown towards Leo.
Weak people are not respected, especially in powerful people.
"Are you still conscious, it seems that I overestimated you."
Kiel looked at Leo, who was still struggling under the pressure of his own momentum, and said lightly in a disappointed voice.
Because names have been exchanged before, the battle is actually a regular, fair duel that is in line with the warrior's etiquette, and must be fought until the opponent loses consciousness, or the weapon is broken and can no longer fight, or surrenders to admit defeat.
Kiel, who had already understood Leo's weakness, thought of his previous speculation and curiosity, and felt ridiculous.
Although he was concerned by Lord Alina, he was really just an ordinary villager.
Thinking like this, Kiel reined in his momentum a little, giving Leo room to admit defeat.
The terrible dizziness seemed to have subsided somewhat, and the white vision began to clear.
The first thing that caught my eye was the blood on his forehead, the bloody dirt and grass, and Kiel's spotless silver knight boots.
It's all bad earthy taste in the mouth, and there is an indescribable bitterness.
Originally, Leo could indeed see the flaws contained in the sword skills of these knights, but he only ignored the huge difference in strength, and the unbridgeable gap brought about by it was like an abyss to him.
I was full of confidence in my new discovery, and I seemed to be invincible again, but the result was that I was too blind and arrogant.
Abominable, abominable, abominable, abominable.
Stuck in the dirt, Leo's hand holding the sword harder, his joints turning white, but to no avail.
A strong sense of shame erupted like a volcano, he gritted his teeth, the smell of blood spread in his mouth, knowing that he was weak, but he didn't expect that he would be so weak in front of Kiel!
Behind the empty anger, however, lies a sense of despair and fear.
Throw in the towel, shameful thoughts crossed Leo's mind.
It's not a game, it's a naked reality, and such an excuse alleviates the onset of shame.
In the original world, I have conceded defeat to reality countless times, so it doesn't matter if I admit defeat again this time.
I have mixed feelings in my heart, and I obviously want to win.
In fact, what supported him to walk in front of Kiel and raise his sword was nothing more than self-deception, a void cloaked in "courage".
There are so many scenes, but they are illusory after all, and what is buried in Leo's heart is a weak self that is constantly wrapped up layer by layer.
He hated, hated his weak self.
Anger and distorted emotions are constantly burning as if they have been ignited.
"Ahh
Leo's consciousness fell into a dark space, and in this dark space, a little blue flame kept flickering.
"It's really useless, it's a shame for the moon god to live on a waste like you!"
"Thankfully, a new, suitable host has emerged."
"You die right here."
The voice seemed to come from the flames, and the words betrayed anger and contempt.
A strange power was at work in his body, but it was familiar.
Suddenly, a sharp pain erupted from the wound on Leo's left arm, and the smell of corruption spread like poison in his mouth, and he couldn't help but scream.
"Oh my God, what's going on!" "This man, ghoulized?!" "Oh my God, it's horrible."
At the same time, amid the exclamations and shocked gazes of the people, the red-eyed Leo let out a beastly hoarse roar and slowly stood up with difficulty.
His bones crackled as the oppression of the momentum was still there, but the bloodthirsty killing intent of the huge wave had completely engulfed his senses and even his consciousness.
The wound on his head was no longer bleeding, but the blood from before had congealed on Leo's face, and with his bloodthirsty madness, he was a humanoid ghost.
"You, you still have rotten poison?!"
Kiel's face finally changed, and he spoke out in shock, but there was surprise in his eyes.
Ordinary people with ghoul rot in their bodies, once attacked, will become a beast that only knows how to kill, and depending on the degree of the attack, once the poisoned person is completely unconscious, there is no way to recover.
And as a knight, he also had to kill the human who had completely lost consciousness and became a monster.
"Monsters can only be killed."
Kir gritted his teeth, sighed, and slowly raised his sword, pointing it at Leo, his movements flowing smoothly, as if he had practiced it a thousand times, and the surging magic power loomed over his sword.
"Kiel! Stop it! ”
Two fiery snakes suddenly attacked from a distance, accompanied by Alina's anxious shouts.
She deeply regretted her previous silence.
"I'm sorry, Mistress Alina, but the monster must be destroyed."
Kir looked ashamed and whispered, not looking at Alina, but his hand mercilessly smashed the attacking fiery serpent, scattering the flying sparks, and Leo's roar seemed to grow louder.
"I'm sorry, Leo."
Facing Leo, who was roaring madly, trying to further break through his momentum, Kiel said lightly with a look in his eyes.
At the same time, the momentum increased again, pressing the crazy Leo into the dirt.
Everyone did not recover from such a dramatic change, and they understood that Kir was going to kill Leo who had accidentally become a monster with his own hands, and suddenly there was a lot of discussion.
There was a cacophony on the side of Storm Lionheart and the villagers, and many villagers were panicked when they saw someone who had a poison attack for the first time.
"Damn these bastard knights! What is the difference between pushing people to such a point and the devil! ”
The middle-aged uncle wanted to rush out several times, but was stopped by the attendants around him.
"Don't meddle in this matter anymore."
Adonis's ugly face was filled with ashes, he never thought things would get worse like this, and once Leo died, he wouldn't have a chance to get the Luna Mine.
"In the final analysis, the strength is weak, even if you have a close relationship with that young lady, you don't have to be humiliated and die of corruption."
Thorn, on the other hand, sneered twice and looked gloomy.
The knights, on their part, looked at each other, and Dubran looked at Leo and was silent.
No one wanted to stop it except Alina, because Leo, who had completely become a bloodthirsty monster, had no value worth saving in their eyes, so what Kir did was not wrong, but by some coincidence, an accident happened.
A brilliant, substantial sword light flashed away, like a meteor piercing the night.
Under Kiel's determined gaze, the silver-white blade easily sliced through the flesh, and in an instant, blood gushed out from Leo's neck, and the meteor-like sword shadow returned to the scabbard with a hint of red.
Leo stopped struggling, his frantic roar came to an abrupt end, and his body went limp, falling limply on the dark dirt, several blood streaks splattering out, staining the grass and mud red.
He should have died, and he died thoroughly.
His consciousness sank into darkness.
Surprisingly, it didn't feel as cold to the bones as I expected.
It's like soaking in warm water, and although it's pitch black, it feels like you're bathed in milk-like light, and it's unusually comfortable.
At the same time, he felt that his empty heart was gradually filled with some kind of strength.
True death summoned something hidden in the depths of the soul, a familiar red light, and a yellow light.
The sound of something breaking sounded in his ears, and at the moment when he was puzzled, the darkness in front of him seemed to be pushed away by an invisible hand, and countless dazzling rays of light continued to shoot like arrows.
There seems to be a sweet and soft, lover's voice.
"Create a character, Leo, a class, a knight."
"Load the footage, load the data, load it..."
"Character loading, system loading..."
