But as soon as Iveli took a step, from under the dusty arena, a pair of earthy yellow elemental hands reached out, grabbing his left and right feet, making it impossible for him to continue moving.

Vincent stepped back two meters again, and after maintaining the optimal distance of three meters as before, he said in a light tone: "It seems that you don't plan to live!"

"Yes, I will die at your hands today. Evely roared angrily, trying to rush to Vincent's death, but he couldn't break free from the hand of the earth elemental at his foot.

Blood burst out of Evely's mouth along with the words, spilling down on the ground two meters in front of Vincent, staining the sand and dust dark.

This is also the reason why Vincent has always kept his distance from Yveli, as a well-informed person, he knows too well that many people will find ways to disgust their enemies before they are temporary, such as spitting and the like, which is convenient and simple to use.

Of course, in order to maintain his previous image, Vincent decided to give Evelyn another chance and let him think about whether he really wanted to die.

"One last time, why do you want to die so much?"

"Ahem," Evely coughed heavily, coughing so much that he bent down deeply, until Vincent thought that Evelyn would cough to death by himself instead of by his hands, and Evely stood up straight and said, "I am an Imperial soldier who has made meritorious deeds, and someone has contributed a sum of money, a sum of money that I cannot refuse, and the price is that I need to die at your hands today." ”

When Vincent heard this, he sneered and said, "Let my hands be stained with the blood of the imperial soldiers, and then what? Cut off my way to join the army and make meritorious contributions? ”

"I don't know what they're for, I'm dying anyway, and I won't let go of the opportunity to maximize the benefits of my death. ”

Vincent was silent, ready to do it at any time, since Eveli had made up his mind, then he gave Evely a death, which could be regarded as the fulfillment of Evely's wish.

"Wait a minute, Lord Vincennes, do you really not know the consequences of killing a meritorious soldier?"

Seeing that with Vincent as the center, and a strange dusty vision generated by the stirring of magic power, the attendant, as the host, couldn't help but open his mouth after all, and asked after persuasion.

Vincent didn't look back, and he didn't need to understand what the consequences were, anyway, for him, winning the duel and retrieving the power core would be enough, as for other things, he Vincent didn't need to bother.

"Yveli Kathy, a member of the Kathy family, tell me who instructed you to do this. ”

The attendant had to make his last effort and asked.

Evely smiled miserably, he had been diagnosed with a terminal illness not long ago, the kind of terminal illness that required the High Priest of the True God (the spokesperson of the True God) to consume his life force to cure, and it happened that the temple had suffered a change, so he had no choice but to wait for the arrival of the Grim Reaper.

However, two days ago, a mysterious man approached him and talked about the life-and-death duel two days later, and traded a lot of money to order him to cause as much trouble as possible to his opponent, and in the end he must die at the hands of his opponent.

In order for his wife and children to be able to live without having to run for life after his death, he agreed. Especially at his strong request, after receiving the true god oath made by the mysterious person in the name of the six true gods, promising not to let his family die at the hands of humans, he decided to die calmly.

Because, if the mysterious person breaks his oath, he will face the judgment of divine punishment.

Vincent watched Evelyn look at Eveli with a pleading gaze, expecting to do it himself, and then cast his magic without hesitation.

- "Lost Land"

In an instant, within a radius of eight meters with Vincent as the center, the ground shook violently like a pool of water stirred by people, and Yveli, who was in the earthquake wave, also fell to the ground because of this sudden fluctuation.

At the same time, the stirred dust hovered in the air, circling Vincennes, slowly spinning like a saloon that could only be seen in the desert.

After a full three seconds, the sand that completely covered Vincent's figure fell back in an instant, and Vincent, who had been standing in a lunge before, also stood up straight.

With a "boom", there was a loud roar like the earth roaring in the shock circle, and the number of earthy yellow stalagmites that could not be counted was too large to count, and they sprung up at the same time like mushrooms after a rain from the messy ground under Vincent's feet, and did not stand still until the end.

Eveli died, was impaled into his body by a dozen stalagmites, and died without any pain.

Maybe secrecy is one of the contents of Yveli's deal with the mysterious man, or maybe for the sake of his family, he must do everything possible to avoid extraneous complications, so when his life is nearing the end, he has never said who the mysterious man is.

Vincent watched indifferently as the soldiers carried Evely's body away after the stalagmites had disappeared. The edge of the white cloth that had been soaked in blood and enveloped Yveli, and from time to time a drop of blinding red dripped away with the soldiers' footsteps.

"Whew" Vincent let out a long breath, full of thoughts.

As if remembering something, he turned around, bent down slightly, and said his request: "Your Majesty, I hope that the deal that this Imperial soldier has made in exchange for his death will be fulfilled. ”

Queen Jenna's originally somewhat serious face smiled like a rain and a sunny day: "No one in the empire dares to go against my will. ”

Vincent nodded solemnly when he got the answer he wanted, and then turned away, waiting for his next mortal opponent.

To embarrass him, it takes his life to make amends.

Vincent, who killed Evely, was criticized by many nobles, after all, in the Supreme Charter of the Empire, there is a decree issued by the true god himself, that is, any soldier who has made meritorious contributions to the empire and awarded medals will never be allowed to be mutilated by the human race anywhere outside the battlefield.

Many people also know that there must be a hidden secret, but Vincent's public killing of Eveli, whether or not it was caused by a cause, is inevitable that it will lead to a controversy about the matter.

Seeing that the discussion in the audience was getting louder and louder, the attendant, after obtaining the queen's consent, stopped him in a loud voice: "Quiet, regarding the death of Yveli, after the duel is over, Her Majesty will personally deal with it and give a fair verdict to the subjects of the empire." ”

"Next, I would like to invite the second strong man who represents the Cathy family, a newly promoted sixth-order powerhouse who is only twenty-five years old, and a ranger who fights side by side with his comrades and seeks self-breakthrough in the dense forest, the darling of nature, the guardian of the forest, and the ranger who is known as an expert in wilderness survival - Stilwell Cashy. ”

As soon as the introduction came out, the audience that had finally quieted down boiled again, and all the nobles who came to watch the battle couldn't help but congratulate themselves on their correct choice.

Vincent raised his eyebrows, remembering that at the auction that day, Stilwell was only a third-order, but he didn't expect that in just two days, he would actually jump a rank to become a sixth-order.

However, Vincent didn't use his mental power to perceive Stilwell's strength that day, especially on that occasion, when he and Stilwell met for the first time, and he couldn't afford to make that kind of move that would definitely cause public anger.

Dressed in a well-cut dark green leather armor with a metal string on it, a barrel full of arrows on his back, a blue-glowing, beautifully shaped two-handed longbow in one hand, a double-edged dagger pinned to his waistbelt, and a double-edged dagger with the same blue fire as the two-handed longbow, Stilwell walked quickly towards Vincent.

But for Vincent, what really impressed him about Stilwell was a giant bear that was sticking to Stilwell.

A jungle brown bear that is as tall as a Stilwell man when he walks on his stomach, with a smooth brown coat, and a giant bear that sticks out his tongue and licks his nose from time to time, looks very cute and cute. However, when it is quiet, it makes people want to touch its head, and once it appears in the jungle or on the battlefield, and rushes straight at it with its huge body, I am afraid that no one will have the idea of making contact with the giant bear.

Already walking into the arena, before the squire announced the start of the duel, Stilwell picked up a small jar from his waist, opened it, handed it to the brown bear's mouth, and while touching the furry bear's head, he watched the brown bear lick the honey in the small jar with relish.

Vincent pouted, it's the same in the game, these are domesticated by the ranger, all kinds of cute partners, I don't know how many girl players choose the sewer profession of ranger.

After less than half of the honey in the small jar was licked and eaten, Stilwell put the small jar into the paws of a brown bear sitting on the ground with his two front paws raised, clapped his hands before starting to circle around the field, placing something from time to time around the brown bear.

[Trap Symptom Flow Ranger]

Seeing this scene, Vincent couldn't help but think of a ranger routine in the game that specializes in dealing with melee classes.

Draw the hatred of the enemy's melee class through ranged attacks, and achieve an arena-specific routine that allows the enemy to actively attack in close quarters and trigger traps to output.

Once the trap is triggered, freezing, bleeding, flames, poisoning, and all kinds of negative states are riddled with, especially this kind of symptom damage explosion, if not removed in time, it will die faster than being attacked by a stalker and wipe your throat.

It's a pity that Stilwell's opponent is a Vincent who doesn't know how many times he has fought in the game, and he doesn't know how many routines he has seen, and being an enemy of Vincent is also doomed to his failure.

Against this genre that relies on symptomatic damage to torture opponents to death, there is no way to win without getting hurt.

The only chance is to seize the opportunity, get close to the opponent quickly, and deal the maximum amount of damage in a short period of time, without giving the opponent a chance to resist.

Moreover, to gamble, because the traps cannot overlap, so, the general trap ranger, whether it is to fight back or save his life, will place a control trap under his feet, Vincent can only bet on him Stilwell, who is also an ordinary life-saving ranger.

As for the unlikely bet, Vincent would still bet, betting that the people of this Tria world didn't know how powerful the Twin Dagger Elemental was.

And as soon as he thought of Evely's death, Vincent clenched his daggers, and the Stilwell brothers, who calculated him, were more dead than Evely.
