Chapter 43: The Guardian of the Earth

Dozens of large, thick stone spikes suddenly emerged from the ground, forming a prison, enveloping Roque. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Seeing this, Roque did not panic and used the gambler's choice again, this time rolling the number 6.

I saw a huge ball of light appear above Roque, and dozens of lasers shot out from it, hitting the stone thorn that trapped Roque, and instantly shattering the prison of the earth.

Gage's face remained unchanged and he continued to use the Earth Spell.

But Roque didn't want to give him another chance.

"A gambler's choice!" This time it was the number 4, and Gage only felt a trance in front of him, and for a moment he couldn't control his body.

Roque took the opportunity to launch a stormy attack on Gage: "Card Missile Ten Combo!" One poker after another exploded on Gage's body, and the violent impact shook Gage unsteadily.

Gage was shocked: "What the hell skill!?" Even I can't resist this effect! ”

"The effect of a gambler's choice is to ignore the hierarchy, because even a god has a time when he loses a gamble. If you don't gamble everything, you can't win the game. Roque said lightly.

“…… yes, it looks like I'm going to have to make a bet with you to see if your luck is better or my luck is better! Gage hasn't experienced this feeling in years. Since the battle with the dragon thousands of years ago, he has not felt this blood boiling for a long time, not because of the desire to be a strong man, but because of the admiration of an opponent who deserves respect.

Yes, in Gage's eyes, Roque, who uses the skill of gambler's choice, is undoubtedly under several times the pressure himself. Because this is such an anti-heaven effect, there must be corresponding side effects. Although Gage didn't know what the alleged side effects of this skill were, it was expected that it would not be easy.

"Now you've rolled the numbers 4, 5, and 6, which means that there are still three effects that haven't appeared. If I'm not bad, I'm afraid that these three effects include the effect of restoring mana, and the remaining two ...... It's probably a negative special effect. Gage's eyes narrowed, and in a few words, he guessed Roque's bottom line.

Luo Ke's heart was lifted, and the secret path was worthy of being an old fox who had lived for so many years, and he had rich combat experience, so he guessed the fatal flaw of this skill so quickly. But...... Hehe, no matter how smart you are, you can't imagine that my natural skills can completely cancel out the side effects.

Although he snickered in his heart, Roque didn't show it at all on the surface. Instead, there was a desperate expression: "That's right." But I can't think of any way to defeat you other than this powerful but fatally flawed skill, so I'll have to gamble on my character for years. ”

"Oh, then I'll see, how long will your good fortune last?" Gage stopped talking and began to storm Roque.

And Roque also resisted desperately, seeing the move, the two of them dismantled the venue after a short battle, and there were potholes everywhere.

Kurto, who was watching the battle, couldn't help but be dizzy when he looked at the two people in the fierce battle: "Okay...... It's so strong! Uncle Roark and Gage are so powerful! With such a fierce offensive and defensive battle, if it were me, I am afraid that I would not be able to last a few rounds and be defeated! ”

Mi Lu was also shocked and swayed: "This battle is full of life and death crises, as long as you take even one wrong step, life and death will disappear, Uncle Roque can last so long, I am starting to have a little confidence in him!" ”

Coolas looked at the battlefield with a feverish expression, his hands quickly recording the information of the battle in his notebook, and this collector was completely hopeless.

Before they knew it, the battlefield between Roque and Gage had moved not far from the three spectators, but Roque seemed to be unaware of this.

"To be honest, I'm really surprised that you can fight me for so long with such a skill of betting on luck." Gage abruptly stopped attacking.

"It could also be that my luck is really better." Roque snorted.

In the fierce battle just now, although Roque has been in crisis many times, he has survived by relying on the BUG-like 2456 special effects, and so far all the special effects have appeared except for 1, which also allows Gage to find out the details of Roque, and the number 1 represents a negative effect.

But one thing that makes Gage very strange is that Roque has used the skill of Gambler's Choice quite a few times, but the number 1 has not appeared once, and even if it only appears once, Gage will not be so strange.

Therefore, Gage is not going to drag it out any longer.

"What, is Gage-sama going to throw in the towel?" Roque saw that Gage had stopped and couldn't help asking.

"Nope. Quite the opposite. I'm going to end this fight in some other way. Gage uttered something that stunned Roque.

Roque's face changed dramatically after a strange glance: "Kurto! Run! ”

"Huh?"

"Hey...... It's too late, they're already in my attack range, Quake!! "A shock wave stronger than the first earthquake spread out in all directions centered on Gage, and it seemed that it was about to affect Kurto and others.

"Don't !!" Roque yelled angrily, he never imagined that Gage would be so despicable to the crowd watching the battle, but it was too late now!

Roarke's mind flashed pictures of the days since everyone met, those days and nights of fighting together, how could I make him a sad memory!?

The earthquake shock wave rolled up a huge rock, and it was about to crush the frightened Milu and Kurto, but at this moment, Roque burned his potential, and instantly rushed in front of everyone at an incredible speed, and resisted the blow with his own strength in the stunned eyes of the three people!

"Uncle Roque!!" Before Roque lost consciousness, he heard a heart-rending cry, and then his consciousness fell into endless darkness.

……

It's so dark.

Am I dead?

I didn't expect that I would be about to achieve victory and fall here when I was about to move towards a glorious future.

It's really fate, isn't it......

It's just, what's going on with this intense unwillingness?

I still want to see those people, those things, I still want to fulfill my agreement with Curto, I promised them to make beef noodles for them to eat, how can I just fall here?

So that's why you stepped up and blocked that blow? A voice came out of nowhere.

Even if you lose your own life, you have to protect others? Just for such a ridiculous reason? The voice scoffed, its tone full of disdain.

No...... They are my most cherished friends, and in order to protect them, even if it costs a lot! Roque replied firmly.

…… Is it. Then just open your eyes and take a good look. Those people you have to protect to the end of the day.

Don't forget what you said today. The voice faded away, and Roque's eyes spun around, and he forced himself to open his eyes, only to find himself lying on a bed in the church, next to a guilt-ridden Milou and Kurto, and Christmint, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Oh, it's the first time I've seen everyone gather like this, if I'm not mistaken." Roque barely propped up his upper body and said with a wry smile.

"Stupid! You're so badly injured, and so reluctantly, lie down quickly! Minter reprimanded loudly, but the concern in his words was not fake.

"I've heard about your achievements, and it's really desirable to have a big battle with the Earth Heavenly King." Woodlaw still had the same face, but the words he said were a little human.

"Hmph, I can't imagine that you little kids can have today. By the way, what treasures did you find in the dwarven ruins? Let my big sister Ludy open her eyes! "Ludy, the female robber, is here and there, much to Roque's surprise.

"Hey, Ludy, that's what Roque and they fought so hard to get, and you're too ......" Mary on the side couldn't help it.

"Oh, I know, isn't it just a joke, look at your anxious ......" Ludy waved her hand in disgust, looking unwilling.

"I am deeply sorry that I could not go with you. If you have one, you must bring me next time! My ninjutsu won't disappoint you! "The girl Ah Ling also came over, and it seemed that she still asked for leave, which made Roque very moved.

"You ...... Thank you. When I'm healed, I'll treat you to a big meal! I did! ”

"You'd better heal your injuries first! Really, I heard Kurto say that Gage was just trying to scare you, who knew you were trying so hard. As soon as Chelsea saw that Roque had the idea of getting up again, she hurriedly pressed Roque down.

"Scare? I think he really wants our lives......" Kurto muttered quietly, and then was stepped on by Milou next to him, and suddenly did not dare to speak again.

"Anyway, you ...... this time"

"yes, yes, I'm really scared to death......"

"Is that Gage really a demigod?"

……

Listening to the voices of the lively people in the room, Roque felt a warm current rise in his heart.

It turns out that I already have so many partners before I know it...... That's great.

"Congratulations. Roque. Through this battle, I have witnessed your divinity, and now I officially grant you the 'Guardian of the Earth'! I hope you can keep this sincerity alive. If you can reach that level one day, maybe we will meet one day. Haha, I'm going to go too! Suddenly, Gage's voice came from nowhere, startling Roque.

Roque looked at everyone's reactions, there was nothing strange about it, and it seemed that I was the only one who heard it.

But the guardian of the earth is...... Could it be......

Sure enough, Luo Ke, who had carefully sensed his body, couldn't help but have mixed feelings when he watched the divinity in his body change from one to one small, one large, one yellow and one transparent.
