Chapter 16: The Shock of a Sword
The mountain folk boy named Guy thought he was hallucinating.
He was surprised to wonder "how is this possible", but he still thought that his eyes would not deceive him, so he saw in the flash of lightning just now that Finn seemed to have predicted his attack in advance, and then with a backhand sword, he struck the new iron sword in his hand with the spear that stabbed straight forward in his hand at an angle that obviously suffered a loss.
The moment the two weapons clashed, Guy felt the spear in his hand immediately uncontrollably detach from his ten fingers, and when he reacted suddenly, he realized that his weapon seemed to have been knocked out by the sword of the young paladin in front of him, and he felt that the wrists of his two hands were paralyzed as if they had been electrocuted.
The group of people in the Sideburns Adventure Group suddenly lost their voices, and they froze in place as if they had suddenly collectively suffocated.
Finn's sword was not only not beautiful, but on the contrary, it was twisted and even ugly because of the bad angle of the sword, and it looked like an orc in the wasteland had rudely slashed a stick on Guy's gun.
However, it was such an awkward sword, and the young paladin unreasonably drew the gun of the young man of the mountain people into the sky, and the piercing screech of the spear and sword was still fresh in their minds at this moment.
The result of the battle between the two young men caused the onlookers to become dumb for a moment, and they were obviously applauding the people sent by their side not long ago, but they were so embarrassed that they couldn't say anything, and they didn't know whether to accuse Finn of winning indecently in the confrontation just now, or to justify the obvious loss that Guy had eaten.
"Sheehan, you... Have you ever seen this kind of start-up counter-attacking swordsmanship? Similar to the reaction of the adventurers, Leah, who had seen Finn's power for the first time, opened her mouth in surprise at this time, looked at Fyn again with a look of a monster, and then turned her head to ask the young doctor beside her.
Sheen's psychological quality is obviously better than that of Lia, but after all, he does not have the strength of a second-order professional like Camussa, and he is also different from Arya and Lilith, who have long been acquainted with Finn. It was the first time he had seen someone use such an ugly swordsmanship to force a weapon stabbing at him to fly. To say in your heart that you are not shocked is to lie.
So, the brown-haired young doctor snorted, and then tried to speculate to Leah with his own reason: "That is probably not swordsmanship. ”
"Not swordsmanship?" Leah tilted her head.
"I feel like it's just pure power...... Because it's too terrifying, it forcibly makes up for the problems in the technique. Sheehan organized his language in his head, and then replied with a kind of academic caution, "Of course, I don't know much about melee skills, and maybe your colleague really has some superb and subtle swordsmanship hidden in that sword, but I can't see it." ”
With that, he turned his cheek. Turning his gaze to the three girls standing on the other side of the door of the Adventurer's Guild, he wondered why all three of them didn't react in surprise at all, the silver-haired dark elf still held his hands with an insignificant and comfortable expression, and the quiet girl with long black hair looked even more calm as if he had seen too much of this scene, and the only person who reacted slightly was the blonde elf lady - Sheen remembered that her name seemed to be Arya, but even if it was her, Her reaction was a momentary look of dissatisfaction, as if she felt that Finn's sword had not shocked everyone around her enough.
Of course, the truth is far less complicated than Sheehan thinks.
Camussa still clasped her hands with an inconsequential expression on her face, because she didn't care about the outcome of the duel. The indifference on Lilith's face is only a manifestation of an emotional flaw. The look of dissatisfaction that appeared on Arya's face was real, but the object of the elven girl's dissatisfaction was not Fain at all, but Camussa, who had caused such a mess of trouble for the team, and felt that if Camusa didn't take matters into her own hands, she would be entangled by the sideburns adventure group. How could they afford to waste the energy they should have spent on the next day's rush on the current?
All in all, the minds of the three girls were not what Sheen thought, and Finn's previous sword, which had a rather shocking effect, was indeed a crushing-level brute force, without the slightest skill component.
Sheehan's guesses, based on his own inference, seemed to Leah to have some truth. But in fact, it was so wrong that he thought too much about it.
The scene returns to the small clearing in front of the Adventurers' Guild that is temporarily used as a dueling arena, and the spear that was knocked into the sky in a spin fell and was caught by Finn. The young paladin turned his eyes sideways and quietly held the spear in his hand, and then looked up at the young man of the mountain people who had suffered a loss under his sword just now, and suddenly noticed that the other party subconsciously took a step behind him, as if he was guarding against him, and as if he was afraid of him.
He looked at this peer who was yelling at him a few seconds ago, "You can't do it and die under my gun", thinking that your shot just now came really a little suddenly, of course my reflexive sword has to use all my strength, how can I have enough time to think about saving face for you?
However, although he was so "complaining" in his heart, of course, he could see that Guy's face was full of an extremely unwilling look, and he seemed to think that the sword counterattack he had just made was just a blind cat encountering a dead mouse, and a strange force without any technical content happened to be lucky by mistake.
So, he shook his head slightly, and threw the spear in his hand forward.
Seeing that the other party had returned his weapon, Guy reached out to take the spear that Finn had thrown back to him, and then reluctantly looked up at the young paladin, ready to bow down to the opponent he had despised before the battle began.
However, just as he was about to say it, the young paladin suddenly raised the iron sword in his hand towards him, made a very common swordsmanship move, and said to him with a smile: "I was lucky with that sword just now, let's continue." ”
The amber eyes in the mountain people's eyes were stunned.
For a while, he seemed to have misunderstood something, but his temper was not as hot as when Raymond first saw Finn, and although the green tendons on his forehead faintly appeared in the shape of a tic-tac-toe, he still calmed down and looked directly into the eyes of the young paladin and asked, "You look down on me?" ”
"Didn't I explain? That sword just now was just my luck. Finn looked at him calmly and continued, "I know you're not convinced, so we can come again. This time I will defeat you with swordsmanship, and if I lose, I will blame myself for having no one in sight. (To be continued.) )
