With these words, Gobhat was silent. Still in his tattered brown prison uniform, he stood motionless at the exit of the room, like an ancient stone statue that had been ravaged by time.

And yet—

Dangerous. In the girl's heart, a voice was frantically alarming.

Gebhardt bowed his head and eyebrows, his eyes seemingly closed. The girl could clearly see every wrinkle on his vicissitudes of old face. The other party didn't even mean to take the initiative to attack, but the girl's palm holding the "bright world" was already sweating.

Dangerous. The voice in the girl's heart grew louder and louder. You can't be an enemy of him. You are no match for him.

The escape is close at hand. But the old man in front of him, he alone is a majestic pass with thousands of troops and horses.

It's completely different from the previous opponents. The girl knew in her heart that there was an essential gap between herself as a secret warrior and Lao Gebu. It's not about strength and speed, as a young girl who is still immature as a warrior, in front of the battle-hardened old Gebu, she instinctively feels fear.

But even so, you have to try it yourself. Powerful enemies are just around the corner, and it would be too cowardly not to try to challenge them as warriors......

The crimson magic armor "Aurora" reappeared on the girl's body. The heavy magic armor was silent, enveloping every vital point on the girl's body. On one side is the cloth clothes, but on the other side is the best armor in the empire. However, it is clear which side is harder.

"Trespassing."

Flaming wings rose from the girl's back. The girl in red heavy armor seems to be bathed in flames all over her body at this moment, like a female god of war of flames.

The girl stared directly at the rocky body of the old Gebu, her wings flapping gently, floating in the air, and slowly retreating. The girl knew that it was more advantageous to charge at a slightly greater distance in the face of an upright opponent.

And old Gebu still did not move, as if he was not facing the legendary "bright world", but an empty quiet room.

For the first time since the battle began, the girl held the handle of the umbrella with her left and right hands at the same time. She took a deep breath—

Rumble!

A storm of shock raged through the room. Even the two corpses were swept up by the storm and lifted against the wall. The girl has come to the front of Lao Gebu, and will swing the "bright world" with her strongest blow so far-

"Hmm!"

The girl's eyes widened. Her gaze never left the old Gebu's prosthetic limb embedded with the warhammer, but before her magic umbrella could hit the old Gebu's body, the old Gebu's warhammer touched her chest instead.

The magic hammer "breaks the firm". A stone-cracking blow!

"Woo-ah......!"

The girl heard a shrill cry of pain in her throat. Old Gebu's warhammer struck her straight in the chest.

With a bang, the girl's body flew straight out, slamming into the wall, and even the wings of flame shattered and extinguished......

The girl's body fell to the ground like a puppet with a broken string.

And Old Gebu swung a blow and immediately returned to his original position.

"It's a good response." He complimented.

"Uh......"

The girl struggled to get up from the ground. She wore the mask automatically generated by the "Aurora", and she had to lick the blood escaping from the corner of her mouth with her tongue.

"You can ......still move," said old Gebu, "and that armor is not ordinary steel. It's changed to a material that absorbs shocks, right? ”

"Two layers of metal plus built-in leather and cotton padding disperse the impact throughout the body," the girl said, hunched over and gasping slightly, "plus the body strengthened by the 'Bright World', it is still so ......"

Old Gebu smiled. The magic armor on the girl's body is really unusual, and even her armor-breaking war hammer "Breaking Strong" can't take much advantage.

"Do you want to continue?" He said.

"It hurt a lot just now," the girl said through gritted teeth, resuming her stance, "but I don't think I was badly hurt." ”

"Come on," said old Gebu, whose face was expressionless, "if you can pick up my ten hammers and still stand up, I will admit that you are my equal opponent." ”

"Come on, then." The girl said. The wings of the flames resurfaced again.

……

Old Gebu didn't want to kill the girl.

For old Gebu, the maiden was their last hostage. The heir of the legendary "Bright World", the secret warrior who is so brave and good at fighting at a young age, must have already been valued by the Empire. Isn't that incredible magical armor a reward from the Empire?

The value of a young girl is probably higher than that of all the other hostages combined-

However, it is also much more difficult to submit a girl than to submit a hundred ordinary people. Faced with the girl who pounced again, Old Gebu swung a war hammer at her body. Seriously injuring her, subduing her, not killing her, this is the purpose of old Gebu.

But the girl's tenacity is beyond the imagination of old Gebu. She had already stood up for the second time, ready to launch a third offensive.

……

The third time, the girl was still knocked away by old Gebu.

"Boom...... Yes......! ”

Old Gebu clearly heard the voice coming from under the mask. She's already vomiting blood, old Gebu thought to himself.

But even so, the girl still stood up in front of old Gebu.

"Again." The girl said.

……

Looking at the girl who was beaten away for the fourth time, struggling to get up from the ground, Lao Gebu's heart began to soften.

Why am I here for this fight? Old Gebu thought bitterly. Aibo, Lisa, and Victoria in front of them, they were supposed to be the power of the Empire, instead of fighting each other, injuring each other, and even dying in this senseless place.

"Drink!" Suppressing all kinds of emotions in his heart, Old Ge Bu used more strength when he hit the girl for the fifth time.

……

"That's it, kid," said old Gebu, as the girl tried to get up but fell to the ground, and stood up slowly against the wall, "you can't win against me." I'm afraid your internal organs have started to bleed, and there's no point in continuing to challenge. Rest, child, I promise that I will never hurt you again. ”

"Hey, old man......" the girl's voice trembled slightly under the mask, "If it's you, do you want to be a hostage?" Or do you want to die in battle with honor? ”

Old Ge Bu was speechless. And the maiden has launched her sixth raid.

……

"Goo...... Mutter...... Ah......h

In the distance, the girl who was knocked away for the sixth time still did not lose consciousness. She was rolling on the ground in pain, struggling to get up. Every time she got up, it took longer than the last. And Lao Gebu's mood became heavier and heavier, and he was even anxious.

Are you worried that the girl can really last ten times? No, not really. If he promised the girl that he would let her go if she could hold out for ten moves, he should really be worried. However, such a tenacious opponent should be admired by himself......

"I'm on my feet again, old man." Thinking about it, the girl has re-raised the "bright world".

Old Gebu did not answer. He was praying for a quick end to the battle. He really didn't want to hurt this stubborn girl anymore.

……

"Breaking Solid" hit seven times in a row. Will she be able to attack again, old Gebu thought. Indeed, her assault was not as strong as it had been at the beginning.

In the distance, the girl leaned her back against the wall, struggling to maintain her standing posture. She couldn't put on a decent posture anymore, old Ge Bu said to himself. She's just persevering with a strong spirit. In one or two more rounds, this fight should be over.

However, for some reason, the uneasiness in Old Gebu's heart slowly increased. Is it because you hate this battle? Or is it ......

……

The girl was knocked off the ground for the eighth time.

This time, it looked like she could get back on her feet. But it's almost the last time, old Gebu thought. Her ribs should have been cracked, and no matter how strong her willpower was, there would eventually come to an end.

It's just that the uneasiness and anxiety in Lao Gebu's heart are getting more and more up. There must be something...... There must be something I'm missing......

But the girl won't wait for old Gebu to figure it out. The "Bright World" has been waved for the ninth time.

Suddenly, old Gebu's heart flashed like lightning. The sense of incongruity that has lingered since the beginning of the battle has finally been strung together -

……

While!

The sound of weapons intersecting.

Old Gebu did not fight back against the girl's attack. He used a war hammer to take over the girl's "bright world" on the spot. His body trembled slightly.

"You ......"

The girl sighed slightly.

"Have you found out? I thought I could trick you into the last tenth blow......"

Old Gebu gritted his teeth.

"You, cunning ......" felt the earth-shattering blow, and old Gebu squeezed a few angry words out of his lips.

Not bad. From the power actually contained in the girl's blow, Old Ge Bu felt it.

The teenage girl didn't really hurt much. The painful struggle on the ground just now is just a disguise-

Before the battle broke out, the girl, who was already preparing to drag many enemies alone, had already prepared a defensive strategy. In addition to the secret ritual "Perfect Body" and the magic armor "Aurora", the girl also asked Xiaowei to secretly cast more than one spell to strengthen and defend her body, just in case of emergency. Even the girl took a huge overdose of powerful healing drugs in advance, and while being injured, the remaining medicinal power slowly took effect. Although the power of "Breaking Jian" is strong, the impact on the girl is far lower than Lao Gebu's prediction. After eight heavy hammer blows, the actual damage suffered by the girl was only comparable to the injury in Lao Gebu's heart, the girl was hit by the third time after being knocked away, and it was rapidly healing.

Hmmm-

The girl jumped backwards. And old Gebu finally took a step back.

Even the hardest stone will be worn away by the years.

Coupled with the torture of prison life, old Gebu's physical strength has long since retired. The weakness that was concealed by the skill of using strength as much as possible finally revealed the flaws under the impact again and again.

"Your momentum has weakened." The girl smiled.

“……”

Old Gebu was noncommittal. For the first time, he gave up his immobile posture and instead raised his prosthetic leg and took the initiative to meet the enemy.

I am indeed old. Do you want me to throw in the towel? It's still early, little girl.
