Chapter 173: A Showdown
"How is it a woman?" Kolot, who stepped into the ring one step earlier, looked at Alice, who slowly came to the arena, and said in confusion.
Although the expression on his face when he said this was very calm, even a woman could feel the deep malice contained in this sentence.
And Alice, who had obviously heard this sentence clearly, raised her eyebrows slightly, but she did not refute this, but the already hidden momentum on her body became more and more condensed.
"Uh, didn't that work?" Looking at Alice, who was still very calm and slowly stepped into the ring step by step, Korot scratched the back of her head with some puzzlement, "I knew that what Shaq said was not reliable at all!" Whatever she says, as long as the opponent in the semifinals and finals is a woman, this sentence can make her thunderous. Well, it doesn't look like it's working at all! Damn Shaq! How dare you lie to me, and what kind of strong woman is a woman who can still stand in the ring until the end, and as long as she is a strong woman, she must not be able to stand the contempt of men or something, and the result is completely useless! I'm going to beat you up twice when I get back!" No, plus that last meal, it should have beaten you three times! ”
Listening to Korot talking loudly to herself in a muffled voice peculiar to orcs, Alice tugged at the corners of her mouth speechlessly.
In fact, Korot's discriminatory words didn't have any effect, but compared to the effect that Korot originally wanted, the effect on Alice who heard this was completely opposite.
After her brother died in battle, Alice, who was determined to carry the banner of the royal family of Geralu, did make a lot of efforts to do so. However, people who look down on women exist everywhere, and many people have been sneering at Alice, who has worked tirelessly. Even now, when the position of Crown Prince Alice has been confirmed, there are still many people who disdain it in private.
If it was Granny or Nancy and the others who were taunted by Korot like this. Feeling that his pride had been hurt, perhaps he was already angry and ready to fight with Kolot. However, after undergoing Roger's targeted special training for this purpose. Alice is now at least able to deal with the enemy's taunts calmly on the surface.
I think that when he was in Hell training, in order to strengthen Alice's mental endurance, Roger specially asked Anne and others to take turns to taunt, reprimand, and humiliate Alice who was alone in the dark room......
At the beginning, Alice would come back with a very angry scolding, which turned the special training into a scolding war. However, with the time of training, Alice is now able to face all kinds of scolding on the surface and be completely indifferent.
Of course, the anger in my heart is inevitable. However, when the training reached this level, the anger burning in his heart could make Alice better exert his strength, so Roger did not continue to train on this.
Other than that. Anne and Mum and others, who participated in this special training, had hoarse voices for several days, and now they still open their mouths from time to time to habitually spit out a series of swear words, which makes them very dissatisfied with Roger.
However, the results achieved by Anne and the others after paying such a big price are also very good, and now in the face of Kolot's trash talk, Alice calmly untied the big sword on her back and slowly put on a posture.
Corot, who was thinking about how to teach Shaq a lesson after returning from victory, suddenly stood up with hairs all over his body, and a strong sense of crisis made Korot instantly swing his two giant swords and put himself in a posture. And looking at Alice, who was holding a big sword not far away, Kolot's face became a little shocked.
Even when he had faced the mighty Beamon beast, Korot had never felt such a clear threat of death!
"Shaq, that's a little bit right. The women who can fight to the end are really not normal women! I should have paid attention to your game before I knew it. Although he had already felt the sense of threat on his back, Collot, who was in a cold sweat on his back, was still able to talk nonsense to Alice with ease, and it seemed that his will was also very firm.
"The victor must be me." Looking at Kolot, who is gradually becoming a chatterbox. Alice said with a flat expression.
"Huh?" Collot, who was suddenly interrupted by Alice, blinked his eyes before reacting, "What a joke!" Are you so confident in yourself? I'm not one of those little trash fish that can be picked up casually! ”
Korot kicked his foot in displeasure. The huge force seemed to shake the ring. However, in the face of Kolot, who was very exaggerated and showed her anger, Alice slowly closed her eyes.
yelled over there for a long time. Only to realize that Alice was ignoring him at all, Collott suddenly closed his mouth a little stupidly, waiting for the horn sound at the start of the game like Alice.
"Woo......"
The sound of the trumpet came as promised. Alice opened her eyes sharply and attacked first!
Kolot, who had been prepared for a long time, easily blocked Alice's greatsword thrust with the giant sword in his left hand, and then slashed Alice directly at the head with the giant sword in his right hand.
The footsteps connected the dots, and Alice turned directly twice with the help of the rebounding force from the big sword, easily avoiding Korot's giant sword slash, and at the same time, quickly went around Kolot's side, and the big sword in her hand swept over.
"Huh?" Still blocking the sweep with the giant sword in his left hand, Korot said with some surprise: "Your skill seems to be somewhat similar to that orangutan." ”
Without replying, Alice once again used the force of the rebound, quickly twisted her waist and turned around, and the big sword in her hand once again slashed at Kolot's leg.
It's not that Alice doesn't want to cut other places, it's just that she, who is less than 1.7 meters tall, can hardly cut Kolot's neck and other vital points even with the length of the big sword, so she can only try to cut Kolot's leg to limit Kolot's ability to move.
"Tsk! I've already had a solution to this move! Without another block, Korot took a step back. Let Alice slash into the air. However, to Chloe's surprise, Alice, who slashed through the air with a sword, took advantage of the situation and turned around again. He slashed at Korot with a huge slash of fighting energy.
Kolot, who didn't expect such a move, although he blocked it with a giant sword in time, the aftermath of the fighting spirit slash still drew a small gap on his face.
Sticking out his long tongue, he licked the wound that oozed some blood. Korot looked at Alice with a solemn expression and said, "Originally, I thought you were just a small stumbling block on my way to victory, but it turned out to be a griffin blocking the way, interesting!" ”
"But it's a pity that I've already comprehended the essence of Sword Storm is well aware of the weakness of the swordsmanship you just cast!" Korot slowly grinned, "It seems that you are due to the lack of wrist strength, so you use your waist strength and leg strength to enhance the power of your sword moves." You're very thoughtful, but what if I do? ”
Looking at Alice, who rushed up again in silence, Korot jerked her left foot high. Then he kicked the ground. As Kolot's big feet landed, a wave of fighting spirit suddenly spread from his feet in the direction of Alice, and at the same time, the entire ring suddenly shook significantly.
Orc Skill: Shockwave!
Disturbed by the shaking of the ground, Alice's body shook suddenly, and she had to stop when she was halfway through her sword moves. But while Alice was trying to stabilize her body, Kolot's greatsword was already slashing towards Alice!
Alice, who had no time to dodge, had to raise her greatsword to try to parry the blow, but even the stronger Garon could not block it, let alone Alice, who was already lacking in strength.
"Boom!"
Alice, who barely protected her body with a big sword, was directly knocked away by Korot, but Kolot, who successfully flew Alice, frowned: there was something wrong with the blow.
Alice, who was sent flying, actually followed Kolot's attack to knock herself into the air. With this impact, she opened up distance from Kolotra and thrust her greatsword into the ground. After making a long scratch, Alice, who was not injured, came to a safe stop.
"Hoo ......"
Exhaling a breath of air, Alice wiped the sweat from her forehead and slowly straightened up. Just a few rounds of encounters. She was already sweating a lot, and the pressure she was under could be imagined.
"Hah! What do you do next? The grinning Korot happily put both of his greatswords on the ground and laughed.
A little helplessly muttered a few words. Alice's right hand slammed into a gem on her belt, and a pale cyan magical light suddenly enveloped her body. The cyan wind element quickly formed a pair of translucent wings on Alice's back. Under the effect of the wings, Alice's body slowly floated.
Air Magic: Wings of the Wind!
That belt is a high-grade piece of magical equipment!
This pair of wings of the wind is actually a phantom that is more symbolic than practical. What really kept Alice afloat was the qi element that shrouded her whole body, not by the motionless wings that seemed to be fixed on Alice's back.
Collot was a little dumbfounded as she looked at Alice, who was floating higher and higher, and sweat was pouring down her head. Although he also has a number of moves that can be used against enemies in the air, such as weapon throwing, flying enemies do not prevent him from continuing to fight. But there's no doubt that moves like Shockwave, which are used to limit Alice's swordsmanship, are useless: they don't even have their feet on the ground! Even if Kolot could shake the entire merchant capital of Sikerd, it would be useless.
Somewhat unaccustomed to trying to touch the air with her feet, Alice could feel as if she was stepping on the ground with the support of the air element, as if she was still on the ground instead of floating in mid-air.
Although the feeling under that foot is a little erratic.
Looking at Alice, who was rushing towards him under the impetus of the qi element, Korot shook his head with a wry smile, and his figure suddenly began to rise.
Giant Change!
In order to fight against Alice, who has air superiority, Korot also uses her hole cards! (To be continued......)
