Chapter 15: Rhaeggar's Worries
Finally came back, went out and found that there was no comfort at home, there was something in the past two days, and it was my wife who changed it.
For the two sides that were speeding forward, the distance of about ten meters was only a matter of moments, the body of the bloodthirsty demon leopard swept through the air like the wind, the light unique to the predator flickered in its eyes, and its entire body bent into a bow shape in mid-air, ready to burst out with amazing power at any time.
Of all of Hector's men, the Bloodthirsty Demon Panther was only a medium-strength being, as evidenced by its failure to make the selection when its master mobilized the guards. But even so, this monster is still an invincible object compared to the vast majority of mortals, and despite the swift and fierce attacks of the opponent, the bloodthirsty demon leopard is confident that it will be the one who will win this battle. Facing the opponent flying like an arrow, its left front paw shot out like lightning, accurately hitting the blade of the giant sword in Wei Li's hand, and the powerful impact force made the two-handed giant sword and the female warrior behind it deviate from the original direction of travel and flew towards the side of the demon leopard, at the same time, the bloodthirsty demon leopard unhurriedly stretched out its right front paw, waiting for the prey to send itself to the door.
But it could never wait for this moment, and Willy's body, which was rushing forward, suddenly sank without warning, and the greatsword in her hand immediately stabbed upward, and as the claws of the bloodthirsty demon leopard brushed her hair and hit the air, under the action of inertia, her sword piercing the former's soft abdomen slashed through the opponent's belly without hindrance.
Rains of blood and shattered internal organs fell from the air, and before the things that poured out of the bloodthirsty leopard's body touched the ground, their former owners had fallen to the ground with a terrible howl, and after a few struggles, the mortally wounded leopard finally ended its life.
Willy landed lightly on the ground, and the bloodthirsty leopard's blood was not spilled on her body. The female warrior turned around and looked at her opponent's corpse, her face calm, and the desperate fight just now did not seem to make her have the slightest mood swing.
"Good job," Rhaeggar's voice sounded behind her, "this is the last beast we need to take out, and Hectert's remaining out-of-control henchmen are no more powerful than a wolf, and they can no longer pose a threat to the inhabitants of the mountain." ”
The figure of the geist slowly appeared in the air more than ten meters away behind Wei Li, in the battle just now, he had been hiding beside him, even if the bloodthirsty demon leopard could defeat the female warrior, it would definitely not be able to hurt the latter a single hair.
"In addition to that," Rhaegar continued, "we have also received a large number of furs from Warcraft and some other precious materials, which will allow us to earn a large sum of money, which will allow us to worry about expenses for a long time to come. ”
He looked at Willy without any expression on his face, as if those words just now didn't come from his mouth, "But get rid of those two points," Rhaegar said lightly, "To be honest, your performance doesn't satisfy me." ”
Before Willy could explain the other party's accusations, Rhaegar had already preemptively continued: "Whether it is a warrior or a mage, their strength is not only determined by how many stunts they master that others do not understand, or how much power they have—of course, these two aspects are also important - what really determines their strength is whether they can solve problems in the right way at the right time." ”
He paused slightly, looked at the thoughtful Willy, and continued: "Do you know why the great warriors who have succeeded in the distant age of the gods have used the skills I have taught you to perform countless feats? ”
Rhaegar strolled over to the place where Willy had been ambushed, stopped there, and then turned around, "Under the cover of my magic, that bloodthirsty demon leopard will never be able to detect your presence unless it touches your body." You're lurking right in its path, and if you can be a little more patient and wait until the demon leopard approaches you, or even pass above you, you can finish off your opponent with a single blow without having to take the risk you just did. I have to say with regret that you have not done enough in terms of timing, that you are afraid, or unable to stand a filthy monster that smells of fish, walking over your head, and that you are too eager to prove yourself by fighting head-on, forgetting the most important point: that the sole purpose of fighting is to achieve victory, and any unnecessary cowardice and impulsiveness to achieve such a goal is unforgivable. “
He sighed softly, "This Monster Hunt is a test of the skills I have taught you, there is no doubt that your performance in the previous stage was not bad, but given this performance," he shook his head slightly, "I can only say that you failed to pass." ”
As Rhaegar said the last words, Willy's pretty face flushed for a moment, "Thank you for your comment," she tried to suppress the anger in her heart, "I'll take your opinion seriously." The stubborn female warrior quickly turned around and walked towards the woods in the distance.
"You're too her," Heim said to the geist as he walked up behind Rhaegar at some point, looking at Willy's back in the distance, "it's not fair that she's defeated a monster that can easily kill dozens of people, and you give her that kind of evaluation." ”
"There is no fairness on the battlefield. Rhaegar was a little irritable, which was extremely rare for him who had always been calm, "As a long-lived race, whether it is you, Nack and Tomahawk, have accumulated a wealth of experience and skill over the long years, she is different from you, she has extraordinary talent and enough enthusiasm in martial arts, if there is enough time for her to train herself, she will undoubtedly become an excellent martial arts master, but only if she can live to that time." And that's exactly what the problem is – she's too young and too stubborn, and when it comes to her opponents, that's enough to kill her, and our previous fights have shown it all. ”
"So," said Heim, looking at Rhaeggar's back, "you proposed that we slay those monsters here so that she could have mastered the true art of combat?" but you could have done it in a more gentle way, considering that she was only a girl, and her peers might still be enjoying life with their parents, and still dreaming that she would meet a handsome knight in the future, and she would have to face all kinds of vicious enemies with us. ”
Rhaegar didn't answer Heim's words, he knew that the elves were right, and as the inheritor of the vast knowledge of the God of Judgment, he had enough knowledge and experience to teach Willy in a more appropriate way for a longer period of time, which would be more effective and would never provoke resistance from the other party.
But that's all he can do.
After defeating Hector and absorbing the fragments of his own soul from the other side, many of the abilities of the former Overlord of Mount Hohenfest—from the God of Judgment to be exact—were all taken over by Rhaegar to reveal certain aspects of the soul and spirit that allowed him to unravel the confusion of Heam and the others, and easily convince them of the truth, but at the same time, they also gave him a keen intuition about the future.
This intuition is present in almost every deity, and it is by virtue of these intuition that they are able to guide the future direction of believers whose power is far below them, and the god of prophecy who is the best of the gods has reached a level of being able to guide the future for the detractors themselves. Among the many soul fragments that Rhaegar had split, Hector possessed this ability was one of them, and after it returned to its true master, the geist quickly used this ability to detect something about the future of the team.
A future he would never want to see.
Although his soul is still incomplete, he can only get some vague, unclear clues, which are enough to make Rhaegar feel uneasy, and although he can't know how he will perform in the future due to the limitations of his abilities, it is clear that he has not been able to help his companions.
In order to avoid that terrible scenario, Rhaegar instinctively adopted what he thought was the safest way to do it: to maximize the strength of his allies in the shortest possible time, especially Willy, who was hinted at as the source of the crisis in the message, and to keep all his partners out of danger during the time the crisis might occur. It was to achieve this goal that he did not leave Hornfest immediately after absorbing the soul fragments, but began to teach the team the martial arts possessed by the great warriors of the Age of the Gods from his memory, and then began a trial to clear the remnants of Hector in the name of training these skills and protecting the inhabitants of the mountain from demonic beasts—he did not know where the danger was, but from what he knew about the Hornfest Mountains, it was clear that it did not match the characteristics of the mountain's topography.
- If Rhaegar had a full soul at this time, he would have known that this vague future was extremely uncertain, that it might happen, maybe just one of the countless possibilities for the future, and that even the measures taken against it would make it a reality.
Willy walked aimlessly through the woods, her heart full of indescribable loss and grievance.
She is a martial arts genius. Although the time spent practicing martial arts was much shorter than that of other companions, and as a human, she was inferior to Elves and others in terms of strength, speed, and agility, and her strength was not much worse than that of her companions, as evidenced by previous battles. If there is anything she is most proud of in this world, it is by no means her beauty, but her talent in martial arts.
But it was this talent she was most proud of, the only one she thought she could boast of to someone so powerful that she could only look up to her, and make herself feel that she was not useless compared to the female mage with extraordinary magical talents and beauty, and was devalued by the person she most desired to be admired.
The sparkling light flickered in Willy's eyes, and the stubborn female warrior didn't want anyone to see what she was now, she didn't return to the camp, and by a large tree far away from where the team was, Willy sat down silently, clasped her hands on her knees, and sobbed silently like any emotionally hurt girl of her age.
