Chapter 60: Counter-Killing
Fragments of the shield flew in all directions, exposing Wren's body.
Driss retracted his sword, quickly took two steps back, slightly distanced himself from Wren, and unleashed the Flame Charge again without hesitation.
Flame Charge is his most powerful move, launch fast, attack far, the only drawback is that you must keep a suitable distance from the target, about ten steps is the best, can exert maximum explosive power, too far or too close, the power will be compromised.
Although at this moment, there were only three steps between him and Wren, and the distance was too close, and the Flame Charge might not even have half the power, but it didn't care so much.
Dris's sword burned hot as if it had been forged from lava, piercing Wren at close range.
Hiss!
The sword tore through the air with a scream, and in an instant, it stabbed in front of Wren's body, and the scorching breath almost burned his clothes.
When everyone around saw this scene, they were a little unbearable.
They didn't know what the grudge between Driss and Wren was, just looking at this sword, Driss had obviously already had murderous intentions and wanted to kill Wren on the spot.
"Stop......"
Davenrah and Pollock shouted in unison, neither of them wanting to see such an outcome. Pollock quickly pulled out the soul gun, but it was already half a step too late.
What happened next, however, was completely unexpected by everyone.
Wren seemed to be a little caught off guard, and stayed where he was, not dodging, and let the firelight sword drive straight in, stabbing himself in the chest.
Seeing that he was about to succeed, Driss was happy in his heart.
Suddenly, he felt resistance coming from the sword, as if it was not flesh and blood, but a steel plate, and even made a strange crashing sound.
"What ......?"
Before the thought in Dris's mind fell, he was about to burst out the power of the fire element on the sword, when the corner of his eye swept a war hammer from the bottom up, smashing it on the blade.
When!
The terrifying force nearly bent the blade, and Driss cracked his sword, unable to hold the sword anymore, and was knocked into the sky, the explosive force of the flame rush exploded between the two, and the scorching air vibrated violently.
Both Rennes and Driss were forced to retreat.
With his hands empty, Driss suddenly saw Wren raise his left hand and point it at him, while his lips flew into silence.
"He's going to cast a spell!"
Driss has not forgotten that Wren has always claimed to be a wizard, and although he doesn't know what spells Wren has mastered, he can't let Wren cast spells smoothly no matter what.
The best way to deal with the caster is to close the distance and attack in close quarters.
Even if he didn't have a weapon in his hand, he was enough to interrupt the spell cast.
As for hand-to-hand combat with Wren, as a magic swordsman who has advanced from a ranger, Driss is not worried at all.
From the battle just now, he found that Wren's speed was average, and he was not dexterous enough, as long as he fought for a few seconds and found an opportunity to catch the long sword falling from the sky, Wren would only have a dead end.
Driss immediately stopped retreating and lunged forward.
"You're killing yourself. ”
Wren said in his heart, and in everyone's inexplicable eyes, he suddenly put down his left hand, picked up his right arm, stretched his body posture, gathered all the power in his hand, and threw the broken war hammer out of his hand.
Driss didn't have time to dodge, the two were too close, and the hammer hit him right in the chest.
A gut-tingling sound rang out.
As if he had been hit head-on by a cannonball, Driss flew upside down for more than ten meters, crashed into the wall of the martial arts training ground with a bang, and fell to the ground with the warhammer.
He was shocked and angry, leaning against the wall to not fall, and when he looked down, his chest was sunken in, and the bones inside did not know how many were broken, and even breathing became very difficult, and his face suddenly turned pale.
"Poof......
Driss finally couldn't help but gush out blood, staining the ground red.
In just two or three seconds, the situation on the field was shockingly reversed, and the long sword that was knocked away fell from the sky at this time, and Wren took two steps forward and kicked the end of the hilt.
The sword turned into a bright shadow and shot straight into Dris's head.
Wren didn't want to show mercy to his subordinates, Driss clearly wanted to kill him just now, and now he had to retaliate.
The speed of the long sword was extremely fast, and the seriously injured Driss was unresponsive, his body was sluggish, and he watched as his sword flew towards him, about to pierce his head.
Most of the demon slayer players who watched the game were stunned by the changes on the field and did not react.
"Captain!"
"Get out of the ......"
Several of the team members screamed.
"Wren, don't. Pollock shouted loudly, he already had the soul gun in his hand, ready to shoot at any time, but after a moment of hesitation, he was already slow.
In despair, Driss closed his eyes and waited for death, when suddenly a large hand appeared in front of him, grabbed directly at the blade, and stopped the long sword.
At this point, the tip of the sword was less than a finger from Dris's eyebrows.
Driss was relieved, couldn't hold on any longer, and suddenly fell to the ground unconscious.
"Your Excellency, Captain. The demon slayer team also breathed a sigh of relief, and it was Davenrah who grabbed the sword, and he arrived at the last moment to save Driss.
Davenrah looked at the sword in his hand and realized that his palm had been cut.
Although the wound from the sword was shallow, only a little cut, and there was no blood, Davenrah was still slightly frightened.
After he advanced to the Steel Knight, he had defensive elements such as "Tough Skin", "Dragon Bone", "Strong", and "Unyielding Will", and few people could cause damage to themselves, but he didn't expect that just by taking the long sword with his bare hands, the skin would be cut.
"Wren definitely has an element of strength, and there's more than one layer. ”
"And it's a little strange that he blocked Dris's sword, and he didn't get hurt. ”
All kinds of thoughts flashed through Davenlach's mind, and he couldn't help but be curious about Wren, the first level defeated the fourth level, and the challenge of crossing the level was successful, which is definitely not explained by a battle wizard.
At this time, Dris's team finally reacted and glared at Wren.
The three beginner transcendents took up their weapons one after another, surrounded Wren, and shouted, "How dare you kill the captain!"
"Don't try to get out alive today. ”
Pollock hurriedly came over to relieve the siege and persuaded: "Calm down, you put away your weapons." ”
On the contrary, Wren didn't react, he didn't take these people seriously, and he felt a little regretful in his heart, he couldn't kill Driss today, and there will be trouble in the future.
Of course, killing Driss might be more troublesome.
The atmosphere became more and more tense, Davenrah threw away his long sword and said loudly: "Put away your weapons, one by one!"
A member of Driss's team was unwilling to say: "Captain, he wants to kill the captain......"
Davenrah glanced at him and said, "I don't want to take sides, you should know who is the first to leave no hands in this competition." ”
The team members dodged their eyes, not daring to look directly at Davenlah.
Anyone can see that from the beginning of the competition, Driss has not been at ease, and the flaming dash just now wanted to kill Wren with a sword.
It's just that the result is shocking, with a gap of three levels, Driss actually lost and was almost killed.
The Battle Wizard is too powerful!
It wasn't until this moment that people came to their senses and realized what an incredible thing Wren had done. The rumored feat of leapfrogging the challenge happened in front of his own eyes.
The team members suddenly lost their courage and involuntarily let go.
Davenrah ordered: "Send Driss for treatment quickly, his injuries are very serious, and it is estimated that he will have to recuperate for a while." ”
"Yes, Your Excellency, Captain. Several people hurriedly lifted the unconscious Driss away.
"It's all gone. ”
Davenlach had a bit of a headache, and it was normal for a game to develop like this.
Driss had to recuperate from his injuries for at least three or four months, the demon slayer team lost an important manpower, and the strength of the second squad was greatly reduced, and many tasks could not be participated. Moreover, after this blow, Dris's reputation in the demon slayer team plummeted, which had a great impact on his personal future.
Although Driss brought this on his own, it was also partly his own responsibility.
If it weren't for the sake of Dris's face just now, and directly stopped Dris's scheming, there wouldn't have been so much trouble.
Back in the office, Davenrah looked at Wren, whose upper body was burned with most of his clothes burned, and thought to himself that since Driss had been defeated and could not return in a short time, he could only let Wren take the position.
You can't kick Wren out and cause the demon slayer team to lose a captain for nothing.
Everything can only be blamed on Driss himself for not being angry, and his strength is not as good as others.
Moreover, this Wren is not completely unsupported, there may be a legendary witcher behind him, and it seems that he has a good relationship.
Davenlach made a decision in his heart, smiled, and said: "Wren, you really opened my eyes today, and it is the first time I have seen the challenge of leapfrogging. ”
"Your Excellency, Captain, has won the prize. Wren replied modestly.
In fact, he won very thrillingly.
He is also a magic swordsman, Dris's attack explosiveness is higher than that of Wilt of the wind system, even if he has a body of steel, he does not dare to use his body to connect the long sword at will.
When he smashed the blade with a warhammer just now, the steel body only blocked for half a second, and if the warhammer was a little slower, he would definitely be seriously injured.
Davenlah didn't know what was going on, but was amazed by Wren's fighting skills.
He praised a few more words to show his closeness, and then said, "Wren, of course it's okay to enter the demon slayer team with your strength, even if it's enough to be a captain." You are welcome to join us and contribute to the safety of the people of Longshande and destroy all demons and monsters. ”
"Yes, thank you, Captain. ”
With an excited look on his face, Wren stood up and saluted.
Davenlach encouraged him for a while, and almost made it clear to Rennes that as long as he performed well, he would be promoted to captain if he had the opportunity.
Wren pretended to be very grateful, but in fact, he didn't have much idea about the position of the captain.
On the contrary, Pollock was happy and sad, happy that Wren had joined his team and jumped to the top of the five squads, and sad that the captain valued Wren very much, and Wren would not be in the team for long in the future.
The three of them have their own thoughts, but on the surface they are harmonious.
After that, Wren went to the prayer room of the demon slaying team, prayed loudly in the presence of several team members, confirmed that he was a believer in the goddess, and then officially joined the demon slaying team.
