Chapter 168: Assassin Nancy
As a shield fighter, Granny actually defeated the same shield battle instructor Mum, which caused quite a stir among the students who had participated in the hell training. After all, no matter how you look at it, Grannie's strength is much worse than that of Mom. However, with a small strategy, Granny succeeded in turning defeat into victory, which surprised everyone.
However, neither the defeated Mother nor the victorious Granny took this match too seriously. The defeated Mum actually only entered the arena at the instigation of Garon, and in fact, Mum, who was still cultivating himself, did not have the intention of competing for the championship. So although he was defeated by Grannie by strategy, Mom didn't take it to heart, but was amazed by the wit shown by Grannie in the game.
And Grannie, who won the victory, was not happy about this victory. After all, although she won, she was born in the martial mercenary kingdom, and she didn't feel that there was anything to be happy about winning by strategy rather than by strength.
What's more, Mom didn't actually use all his strength!
So the defeated Mother still had a calm face, while the victorious Grannie returned to her lounge with a straight face and cultivated, such a stark contrast made the gossip about this battle spread among those in the know.
But soon everyone left the news behind, for the already more shocking news had quickly spread throughout the merchant capital of Silkeld.
Nancy, who was an assassin but managed to enter the official competition, actually defeated the sword dance master Lother from the elven clan in the second match of sixty-four into thirty-two!
Prior to this, Nancy had managed to enter the official competition. But whether it is the nobles in the box or the commoners in the stands. Most people think that she squeezed into the official competition by luck. There are actually people who "leak" in every "Grand Duel", but the strength of these so-called "lucky people" cannot be said to be top-notch. However, the class level is generally at the full level of twenty.
And the Assassin Nancy is now only level eighteen.
A fragile assassin, and an assassin with a level of only eighteen, actually managed to enter the official game, which made everyone in the stands subconsciously regard Nancy as the kind of "lucky person", and the kind of "super lucky person" with special luck. So not many people watched Nancy's game, and most of them came for the elven sword dance master Lothers.
Even though Nancy had beaten an opponent and made it to the round of 64, most of the contestants still didn't take it seriously. After all, Nancy's opponent lost too quickly, and as a result, that guy was also regarded by everyone as the "lucky one" who slipped through the net. And Nancy herself has always been very low-key. This made the other contestants despise her very much.
Originally, Nancy's opponent, the elven sword dance master Lothers, also thought she was not worth mentioning. However, when Lother actually saw Nancy in the ring, he immediately clenched the dual swords in his hands.
The elves' perception ability has always been not weak, and Lothers, as a master of sword dance, is one of the best. Although Lothers is not very old (compared to the elves), he is also a master of many battles, so he can obtain the title of master of sword dance.
You must know that not every sword dancer who has cultivated to the peak can be called a sword dance master! Some sword dancers, such as the eldest princess Ekarina, are still just legendary sword dancers, even if they are already legendary masters. Not a sword dance master.
In order to earn the title of Master of Sword Dance, you must fully master more than one type of Sword Dance! And the sword dances inherited from the elves are extremely advanced sword skills, even with the talent of the elves and the long years of cultivation. There are also very few elven sword dancers who can completely master one sword dance, let alone master a variety of them!
And Lothers is a genius among the elves, and he is only three hundred and fifty-two years old at a young age (relative to the elves). I have completely mastered the three sword dances! Successfully became a master of sword dance.
Lothers has always been proud of his sword dancing talent, and this time he came to participate in the "Grand Duel". It's just that he wants to fight against the strong and gain experience in order to break through the legendary realm. As for the champions. Lothers didn't find it difficult to obtain. The rumors that the elven sword dancers were too delicate to win the gladiatorial championship was, in Lothers' opinion, just because the elven sword dancers of the past were not well adapted to the humid climate of a coastal city like the merchant capital of Sikeld, so they were somewhat out of order.
However, when he saw Nancy who was quietly and slowly walking into the ring, the keen perception of the elves and the intuition of being a sword dance master were sending a strong alarm to Lothers: This enemy is very strong!
How is this possible? She's just a level 18 human assassin! Although he was indeed seriously guarded, there was still some disbelief in Lothers's heart.
Nancy, who quietly walked into the ring, slowly walked to her position, slowly pulled out the double swords at her waist with both hands, and then slowly put on a stance. Her movements were so slow that Lothers could read the intricate magical runes on her short twin swords.
Magic weapons? A series of sword flowers danced casually, and Lothers, who was also in a stance, frowned even more.
At this time, Lothers was a little surprised to find that Nancy's posture was eight points similar to his, and it was also the right hand holding the left hand back, as if Nancy was also using the elven basic sword dance "Dance of War". However, Nancy used a pair of short swords, while Lother used a pair of long swords.
Lothers, of course, wouldn't think that Nancy was also learning sword dancing. After all, even if it is an elven royal family, it takes a lot of time to practice when learning a sword dance, and it takes at least ten years or more to master a sword dance, and how old is Nancy as a human?
I guess it's just a coincidence, right?
However, when the word "sword dance" flashed in his mind, Lothers, who was originally somewhat uneasy, still felt a lot more relieved: the sword dance of the elves has always been the top sword skills in the Elia continent, and only the dragon swordsmanship of the dragon knights can be matched. And Nancy's thin figure doesn't look like a strong person who can master the kind of dragon swordsmanship that combines speed and strength, offense and defense.
As long as he doesn't face a dragon knight with dragon sword skills, Lother has the confidence to defeat all enemies of his rank with skill!
So after the horn sounded at the start of the race. Lothers immediately began to attack!
Looking at the elven sword dance master in the field, his left hand is holding the long sword in front of him, and his right hand is holding the long sword in the back, ready to swing it at any time. When he rushed to Nancy, who was dressed in black, the spectators in the stands immediately cheered loudly.
However, these cheers soon stopped, and these spectators in the stands stared intently at the figure of the elven sword dance master, ready to enjoy the gorgeous sword dance from the elf clan.
Lothers rushed straight to Nancy's side, slammed his left foot to stop the momentum, and the long sword in his left hand slashed directly at Nancy's small waist.
The longsword with the Sharp Spell attached to it should have had a faint red halo, but it was completely obscured by the pale cyan fighting aura that Lother attached to the longsword.
Nancy's left leg took a small step back, causing the tip of Lothers' sword to wipe directly against the leather armor around her waist, not even a single scar left on the black leather armor.
Lossus's eyes narrowed. With his right foot as the fulcrum, his left foot violently exerted force, and his whole body directly followed the force of his left hand and turned in a small circle, and his right hand suddenly held the long sword and swung directly at the neck of Nancy, who was already on the right side of Lothers.
The longsword in Lothers' right hand had a blue-white halo that could not be concealed by a pale cyan fighting aura, and it was obvious that the longsword had magic damage such as "frozen" attached to it. The forging process of the elves is indeed not as high as that of the dwarves, but the enchantment process of the elves is something that the dwarves can't catch up with.
However, this time Nancy leaned back slightly, and Lothers's long sword still swung in the air, and not even a single of Nancy's hair could be cut off.
Quickly change the center of gravity and use the left foot as the fulcrum. Lothers spun around again, the sword in his left hand still slashing at Nancy's waist.
With the inertia of dashing and spinning, this sword was the most powerful of the trifecta.
However, the sword still swung in the air!
Nancy, who saw this menacing sword, directly bent her legs, and most of her body fell directly to the ground. Narrowly avoided the sword.
From Roger's Oriental Martial Arts: Iron Plate Bridge!
Just as Lother was about to stop the momentum and stab Nancy directly with the long sword in his left hand, who was about to fall to the ground, Nancy jerked her waist. Relying on his leg strength and waist strength alone, it was like installing a spring behind him, and he directly "bounced" back, and even stabbed the short sword in his hand towards Lothers' back!
Gritted his teeth. Lothers gave up on his original plan and sprinted faster with his legs. Until after running out of several positions. Lothers spun around and faced Nancy again.
Nancy didn't pursue, but calmly put herself on a posture again, and looked coldly at Lothers not far away.
The audience was silent.
The people who didn't see the series of confrontations in the short moment just now were dazed, and the people who saw that moment clearly through various magic props were dumbfounded.
It just so happened that everyone watching this battle in the box was replaying the scene through the crystal ball, and even Luna, who was sitting next to Roger, looked at it carefully three times with great interest before looking at Roger sitting next to her speechlessly.
Luna knows very well that Roger taught her all of these tricks in Nancy! Luna, who had long been accustomed to the peculiarities of her sweetheart, was still shocked by this, after all, as the third princess of the elven clan, Luna knew very well how powerful the sword dance master Lother was.
Maybe the overall strength has not yet entered the legend, but in terms of skills, most legends are not as proficient in sword skills as this sword dance master!
No one would think that the elven sword dance master Lother let go of the water, the arrogance of the elves is as famous as their beauty, so it is naturally impossible for the moment just now to fake a fight. And since it wasn't a fake fight, that is to say, this assassin who was only level eighteen really blocked the attack of the elven sword dance master!
The audience who reacted immediately began to talk, but the excited audience probably didn't know what they were talking about.
Wielding his twin swords, he played a series of sword flowers, and Lothers, who took advantage of the situation to relax his body, took a posture again, staring at Nancy with a solemn expression.
No one knew better than him what had just happened, and Nancy, as an assassin, had dodged his move in a head-to-head confrontation. Three in a row", which was enough to surprise him.
However, the battle-hardened Lother still suppressed the shock in his heart, calmly changed his posture, and then rushed towards Nancy again. (To be continued......)
