Chapter 41: The Contest (I)
"Seriously, you really want to do this?" Helriga said uncomfortably as she gently wiped the "cold crack" with her hand, "You may not be convinced by that...... But you're no match for me at all. ”
"I know...... Unlike Lord Arian Hurd, who has forged strength over the years of skill and willpower, your strength is somewhat similar to mine, and it is slowly rediscovered in confusion. In Levi's hand, the "Rock Eater" also let out a crisp sword roar, "So, by challenging you, I may be able to find some ideas for the future." ”
“…… Okay, okay. It seems that it is necessary to fight. Heliga pursed her lips, "Then—"
"Wait a minute......" At this time, Levi stopped Helliga with a voice, "Anyway, I've been a little concerned since before...... The number of ways in your swordsmanship is not similar to any of the schools on the continent. Even the "Alseid Stream" and "Eight Leaves and One Knife Stream" that you have practiced for a short time don't seem to ......."
"Ah...... Actually, I did think about combining some of the strengths of these two moves. But then I found out that it was simply not possible...... Yarsidliu is about the use of power, to put it bluntly, how to maximize people's extreme strength, and burst it out in battle, while Yaba is about the skill of power, and the ability to control the subtleties of power - even so, they are just simple "swordsmanship" - and what I use now, in essence, is the opposite. ”
"Got it...... Your "sword" is in the service of magic, and magic itself can increase the power of the sword. Thinking of the way Helriga looked when he was fighting, with a blue blade in one hand and a fireball in the other, Levi finally understood that it was not Helliga who chose this, but that this "Dao" itself was a combination of magic and sword skills, "Thinking about it this way, I'm afraid you won't be able to agree to the request I thought about before." ”
"What request?" Heliga wondered.
"Before, I originally wanted you not to use those strange magic for the time being, and simply use swordsmanship to fight me." Levi spoke his thoughts, "Because I don't think I can understand 'magic' in kendo...... But according to your explanation, your sword and magic are complementary wholes, and it is impossible to separate them, right? ”
"Yes...... Neither is it. After thinking about it, Hailiga said-Among the "Sword Singers", there are not no characters who have reached the limit of the ancient sword path simply with swordsmanship or magic, so it can be seen that the so-called "partial science" is not a big problem. Among the former, there is Master Baal who completely renounced magic and used his unparalleled sword skills to cover the whole of Tamriel, and even made the Danmo hero Nirivain, who has the protection and favor of the demon god, a peerless performance that made him look at and marvel - it was he who taught Bernardo the art of sword song and awarded him the original copy of the "Book of Rings"; The most famous of the latter is Vivek, one of the "Three Gods of the Judgment Seat" at the end of the Third Age, Nerivain's friend and eventual nemesis, the famous Red Guard Juggernaut - in other words, if Heliga wanted to, he could choose one of them to refine and the other to support.
However, just as Levi was also confused, Heliga had not decided, or did not know how, to decide—and therefore he could not answer the matter head-on. Moreover, as far as the current situation is concerned, it seems that there really has never been a person who can steadily suppress Helika in terms of combat effectiveness, except for other treasures and goddesses who do not know if they can appear as personified existences, as well as the mysterious alliance leader himself.
In any case, although Helliga understood Levy's intentions, he couldn't do what Levi thought for the time being, but it was also an indisputable fact. Having said that, Levi didn't want to retreat, but after hearing such an answer, his expression softened.
"Really...... Let's get started. He nodded, signaling that Heliga was ready to attack.
The late autumn nights were a bit cold, but it wasn't a difficult task for Helriga and Levy, who had already broken through the limits of the average human's resistance and adaptation to the environment. The two of them completely ignored the discomfort of the cold in the air, and the location they had chosen was naturally a clearing somewhere away from the center of town, and far away from the area where most of the townspeople lived—in general, there was no need to worry about being disturbed.
Regardless, the battle was more of a competitive one, so Helliga only used ordinary swordsmanship - he attacked from Lévy's left, which forced Lévy, who was holding a sword in his right hand, to use his backhand moves to block; Taking advantage of this gap, Helliga quickly reversed course and attacked Levi's weak flank. A whole set of moves flowed smoothly, without any random swings, but Levi did not dare to slack off, and the "Rock Eater" was stained with a little gray fighting spirit, and bounced Helriga's knife away.
When a move failed, Heliga decisively pulled away from him, and in just an instant, he had already retreated far away from Levizia. Then, Levi's response came just as Haliga had expected: the glow of Storm Zero poured down on his movements, and pounced on Heliga. In the moment before being engulfed by the Fighting Spirit, Helliga saw Levi's movements—to the side rather than the front—and immediately responded: he first used the "Dragon Skin Technique" to directly eat Levi's sword, and then accurately found the attacking Levi, and also used the Fighting Spirit to knock him back.
"What a quick response...... No, I saw it. After being repulsed, Levi not only did not feel any chagrin, but thought, "What kind of spell was that just now......?" ”
"A defensive spell - very high-level, but easy to use." Heliga pursed his lips, the biggest advantage of the "Dragon Skin Technique" is that it has an absolute sense of defense against damage that cannot pierce it - so he can completely open his eyes and watch the enemy's attack come at him. And its creator, the archmage Sulidor, once hung on the dragon's skin and took the shot of the largest ballista in the imperial capital, which surprised the Imperial Army of Tamriel at that time - it was a crossbow arrow that could shoot through the skin of a dragon. The name of "Dragon Skin Technique" has spread far and wide.
Of course, I'm afraid that there is not much certainty about the attack on top of this. At least in the face of the secret method of dragon sacrifice, this trick is useless - Bernardo has suffered from this. In other words, it's a trick to abuse vegetables - of course, it's not that Levi can't do it, it's just that his attack methods haven't reached the level where he can penetrate the dragon skin technique. If he had rushed up with the "Rock Eater" just now, I am afraid the result would have been different.
After a round – the two men regrouped and prepared to fight again.
