Chapter 159: The Ace Appears

Seeing that Vincent, who was the opponent's ace, actually appeared in the second ring fight, both Kenneth on the court and the other five people sitting in the rest area showed shocked looks.

Claire looked at Vincent, who looked casual on the stage, although he didn't know Vincent's plans, but his brows couldn't help but twist.

William also wondered: "As the main general, he actually appeared so quickly, did he want to fight one against three?" ”

"How is that possible? We're still going to be there, aren't we? Norman scratched his forehead, puzzled.

"Don't mess with yourself, watch on." Kral's calm voice sounded, calming everyone's restless hearts, after all, this game is about whether everyone can see the true face of the Holy Grail, and of course they will be nervous.

Among the six, only Clal and Tucci are veterans who participated in the last Holy Grail Festival, and the rest of them are inevitably not as stable as the two, so Kral's prestige is extremely important.

"That kid, can't you be so panicked that you even forgot about the magic array?" Norman looked at Kenneth's back and worried.

When Clal heard this, he only let out a cold snort.

I saw Kenneth's body trembling slightly at this time, revealing two rows of white teeth, his face was full of excitement, and he couldn't help but pull the robe on his body, pretending to be shy: "Boy, do you need to be so excited to see me again?" ”

Vincent's uproar suddenly gave Kenneth goosebumps, and his original excitement was immediately thrown out of the clouds.

"Players of both teams, please don't whisper!" The referee warned and then let the two distance themselves ten meters.

Kenneth took out the Ming Yan Staff, but after thinking about it, he still felt unaccustomed to it, so he changed into a simple wand, and then clenched it in his hand, feeling a lot more steady.

After the referee confirmed that the two had not condensed the magic array in advance, he raised the flag in his hand and announced loudly: "The game is on!" ”

Kenneth didn't spare any hand, and with a little bit of slamming his feet, he exerted the maximum speed he could achieve at this point, and rushed towards Vinson like a streamer, trying to end the race immediately.

It takes about a second.

And Vincent already had a sapphire twisted in his fingertips, just snapping his fingers, and a third-order magic array of the water system immediately appeared under his feet, which was still an ice ring technique, although the trick had not changed at all, it was almost still effective.

The reason why it almost worked was because just as Kenneth's fist had already smashed into Vincent's lower abdomen just as the ice ring was taking effect.

However, when Kenneth's fist hit Chinese Sen's abdomen, the touch transmitted back to Kenneth's brain was not soft, but hard, and only a "sonorous" sound was heard, although Vincent was repulsed, but he did not look too seriously injured, and Kenneth had fallen into a frozen state due to the ice ring technique.

"This speed...... Are you still a magician? Vincent touched the iron brace that was recessed in his abdomen, and said slightly speechlessly.

Now that he knew the opponent's attack pattern, Vincent would naturally be on guard, and the iron armor in front of him was prepared for this.

Because he had already fought with Kenneth, Vincent clearly remembered Kenneth's high resistance to fire-based magic, so he took out a sapphire again, and lightly activated the third-order magic on it with his spiritual power, and an arm-thick ice arrow immediately emerged from the magic array, and shot at Kenneth who was difficult to move under Vincent's control.

Kenneth saw the ice arrow flying towards him, and immediately communicated the pendant around his neck, cast a magic flame shield, and tried to block the ice arrow, but it didn't have much effect, only to see that the ice arrow penetrated the flame shield without the slightest hindrance, and then pierced Kenneth's right shoulder socket.

"Sizzle......" Kenneth's pupils shrank, and the ice arrow actually pierced into his flesh, and then slowly froze his right shoulder.

"Need help? I can take over your body temporarily, and this level of magic is completely ineffective for me. But Hephaestus, who was connected to Kenneth's spirit, suddenly asked in Kenneth's heart.

"No, no, no." Kenneth said word by word, but just as the effect of the Ice Ring Technique was about to be lifted, Kenneth saw a blue third-order magic array appear under Vincent's feet again, and it turned out to be an Ice Ring Technique, which fixed Kenneth in place and did not move.

"I don't know how you did it, but judging from the game just now, the Ice Ring Technique can only trap you for about two seconds." Vincent didn't care about using the Engraved Gem, and just after the Ice Ring took effect, Vincent used the sapphire engraved with the magic "Ice Arrow" again, and the equally large ice arrow emerged from the magic circle again, shooting at Kenneth's head without mercy.

"Still don't need to help?" Hephaestus' slightly teasing voice sounded again.

"No!" Kenneth insisted, moving his body with difficulty, letting the ice arrow fly against his right cheek, and the blood slowly flowed, but Kenneth's right shoulder was completely frozen, and it looked very hideous mixed with the blood.

After 2:4 seconds, Vincent had already used the engraved gem again, immediately froze Kenneth in place, and while walking slowly towards Kenneth, he took out a gem, still an ice arrow, in order to prevent further misses, the target was locked on his left shoulder.

"Damn!" Kenneth shouted reluctantly.

"As long as I use my strength, won't I be able to defeat him instantly? What are you waiting for? Hephaestus said leisurely.

"But isn't it dangerous to expose you now?" Kenneth said in his heart.

Vincent's ice arrow had already pierced Kenneth's left shoulder, causing Kenneth to let out a muffled grunt again, and then watch his left shoulder freeze as well as his right.

"Danger? With me, what else is there to fear in this country? Hephaestus' words were seductive, "Kenneth, it's not a hero's doing. ”

For some reason, Kenneth felt that something terrible would happen if he agreed. It's just that Hephaestus is the hero's most reliable comrade-in-arms, so he should listen to his advice, right?

However, while Kenneth was struggling, Vincent had already mercilessly raised the ice arrow, slowly pressing against Kenneth's chest, freezing his whole body and losing the ability to continue playing.

Kenneth only used one blow throughout the game, and then was completely controlled by Vincent until he lost the match, and what was even more tricky was that because Vincent used the Engraved Gem to perform magic all the time, the mental power consumption was zero.

In other words, in the second game of the ring match, Vincent defeated Kenneth and almost crushed Holman to score a point.

————————

When the referee announced the result, Emperor Rhaegar who was sitting on the high platform frowned, but immediately returned to his normal appearance.

However, this subtle change was caught by Archbishop Alfred, so he asked, "Why is Your Majesty displeased?" ”

Rhaegar raised his eyebrows and said, "What did the archbishop say about this?" ”

Alfred opened his mouth, then waved his hand and said, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty, I seemed to be dazzled just now." ”

"Haha, the archbishop should take care of his health, after all, the disciples of the imperial district still need more teaching from the archbishop." Rhaegar smiled and asked.

Alfred nodded, but his gaze lingered on Vincent and Kenneth for a few more moments.

In the arena, Kenneth recovered from the freeze with the help of the Templars, and the injuries on his shoulders quickly recovered, but his physical strength decreased considerably.

When Krar saw Kenneth return to the rest area, he didn't say much, just called by name: "Tucci, play." ”

"Understood!" Tucci jumped up from his chair on tiptoe, tapped Kenneth on the shoulder as a comfort, and walked over to Vincent in the center of the field.

Norman saw Kenneth sitting down with a frustrated face, so he patted Kenneth on the back and said, "Kenny, cheer up, the fighting spirit in your heart is the most important thing!" ”

Kenneth smiled reluctantly and exhaled a breath of turbidity, why didn't he choose to believe Hephaestus' words just now and let Hephaestus help him?

Thinking of this question, Kenneth felt a burst of irritability in his heart, and Hephaestus, who was connected to Kenneth's spirit, of course, also felt Kenneth's emotions, sighed and said: "You look like a coward now, how can you look like a hero?" ”

"Don't use all your strength, and don't want me to help, Kenneth, what are you afraid of? Emperor? State religion? I can help you burn anyone to ashes if you want. At this time, Hephaestus's words were cold and unemotional, and Kenneth couldn't help but shudder.

"Am I scared? Why should I be afraid? Kenneth asked himself, as if his own memories were resisting?

"Possess great power, but be trapped by your cowardly heart, Kenneth, I am disappointed in you." After saying this, Hephaestus stopped talking.

"Forget it, I've already lost anyway, so be it." Kenneth is not a person who likes to worry for a long time, and when he saw that the battle in the field became fierce, he immediately put this doubt behind him and cheered for Senior Tucci loudly.

I saw two earth-backed dragons standing in front of Tucci in the arena, both of which were summoned by Tucci through the second-order magic of the wind system "Earth-based second-order demonic beast summoning", although the two earth-backed dragons have the word "dragon" in their names, they have nothing to do with the dragon, they are just larger ground lizards, and their backs are covered with a thick layer of soil, which is a second-order magical beast that is more common in the Gaia Mountains, with high defensive power.

In the face of Tucci and the two earth-backed dragons, Vincent still didn't show any nervousness, and slowly raised his hands, and there were eight engraved gems between his ten fingers, one of which had been activated by Vincent, and a third-order wind system magic array immediately appeared at Vincent's feet.

"Pervert principal, you are willing to spend so much money, I'm sorry for you if you don't squander it!"

A whirlwind appeared in front of Vincent and quickly struck at Tucci, and although Tucci dodged the whirlwind, the two earth-backed dragons summoned by Tucci were caught in the whirlwind because of their slow movements, and let out a panicked wail.

"Flawed!" A gleam flashed in Tucci's eyes as he dodged the blow, and a first-order magic array appeared with the staff in his hand, aiming directly at Vincent!
