Chapter 18 No One Is Simple
The Engru and Geson, Foreman and others are far away, and the duel between the two transcendent hunters is very worth looking forward to, but their own lives are also very important, who knows if the other party will "misshoot" at will, creating an advantage for the next battle.
Horn Connell also chose the young retinue as a dueling assistant, and when Charles saw that his main weapon was a bow and arrow, he guessed that he was the owner of the falcon that Gerson had hunted, but it was not known whether he was a transcendent who had awakened his talent for hunters, or a trainee hunter who had studied with Horn Connell.
Horn Connell and his assistants began to slowly retreat, distancing themselves from Charles and Byrne, and only stopped when they were five hundred meters away.
"Despicable...... Why aren't they any farther away....." Byrne lifted his all-metal shield and looked at the two opponents opposite him with great anger.
Five hundred meters is a very reluctant effective range limit for a Windrunner, but it is no problem for Horn Connell, a wilderness hunter, who should be two or three hundred meters away from the start of a duel if he is a virtuous transcendent.
"Hehe! Playing this little trick with me? Am I really stupid?"
"Byrne, put your weapons down and approach slowly, with a casual and elegant posture, and don't show any readiness for battle......."
Charles chuckled inwardly, waved his hand to signal Byrne to follow, and drove the big black horse slowly forward.
The cavalry present were all witnesses to the duel, and if they were alive, they would have spread the results of this meaningful duel throughout the continent, and Charles did not believe that Horn Connor would preempt him, which would damage his reputation.
That's right, like the Charles, he wants to make his name spread in the world through battle, and killing the last inheritor of an ancient transcendent family will bring him great honor, and the more perfect the process, the greater his gain, and vice versa.
Although the Chevalier family and the Connor family are both families with extraordinary inheritance, the latter cannot be compared with the former in terms of heritage and prestige, and Horn Connor wants to step on the Chevalier family to enhance the status of the Conor family, and the name of "The Terminator of the Chevalier Family" cannot tolerate a flaw.
Sure enough, Charles and Byrne's calm appearance aroused the appreciation of many people around them, and Foreman and the others began to cheer loudly. Horn Connell's brow furrowed.
Is the rumor wrong? This "mentally handicapped count" is not a fool, or is the new knight a powerful character? But in any case, he is in a bad situation.
Everyone knows that Charles Chevalier was a ninth-order wind hunter before his death, and he, a seventh-rank wilderness hunter, used the honor of the Chevalier family to squeeze the other party and have to accept this duel, do you still have to wipe your face and act first?
Then it is better to take advantage of the numerical advantage of his own side to directly rush up and slaughter this Count Bayonne, wouldn't the odds be greater?
Three hundred meters, Charles still smiled slowly approaching, Horn Connell couldn't hold his breath, if Charles and Bourne leaned over like this, then how could the advantage of his seventh-rank hunter be brought into play? The knight on the opposite side looked a little pounded.
"Ahem"
Horn Connell squinted his eyes and coughed softly.
"Teacher, are you okay with your injuries?"
The young assistant looked at his teacher with concern, just in time to see Horn's slanted gaze. Then he instantly understood what the teacher meant.
The young assistant hesitated, although he was only the son of a little baron in Engruvolickshire, but he also had the dream of becoming a great nobleman through his own efforts one day, this dream was very difficult in the strict circle of continental nobles, if there were any flaws in his life, he could basically die of this heart, he was not the son of a prominent and wealthy nobleman, and he could have so much family heritage to squander.
Two hundred and fifty meters.
"Lund, how long have you been following me?"
"Teacher...... I've been following you for three years. ”
"Oh! I should be able to accept the real hunter's inheritance this year......"
“............”
The young Lund had mixed feelings, he followed Horn Connor for three years, just to wait for the day when as long as he became a real transcendent, he would have a different identity from a commoner, even if he could not become a stronger transcendent like Horn Connell, he could join the army to serve the king or defect to the command of some great nobles, and in time there was hope to get a fief and become a real nobleman.
For this purpose, Lund didn't know how many grievances he had endured in the past three years, but when this opportunity was really in front of him, he had undue hesitation.
Two hundred meters away, Horn Connell's face was grim, and his palm touched his big green bow.
Lund knew that he couldn't hesitate any longer, otherwise he would have had a day and no tomorrow, and really Horn Connell's murderous name of "Heart Eater" was called for nothing?
He raised his longbow with a quick twist of his heart, and a perforated arrow came out of the string, pulling out a sharp whistling and heading straight for the big black horse under Charles's crotch.
Byrne, who had been waiting by Charles's side, quickly lifted the metal shield, and the "bell" separated the arrows, and the peaceful scene was broken.
The two sides attacked and defended, and the duel officially began.
As soon as Byrne made a move, Horn Connell followed suit, but he didn't do it directly, but picked up the big green bow and was ready to shoot, and a fierce momentum quickly condensed on his big bow and pressed towards Charvae.
"Hah!"
Charles slammed his legs around the belly of the big black horse, and the whole person leaned on the horse's back and began to sprint. And Bourne also drove the horse to gallop wildly, and in two breaths, he surpassed Charles, and the big shield in his hand was slightly raised, faintly providing defensive protection for Charles.
Charles awakened his psychic vision, and found that the psychic colors near Horn Conor were active in his vision, and the green psychic molecules were rapidly converging on his large green bow, very similar to the situation when he drove the "Bow of the Moon Shadow" not long ago.
However, Charles could clearly feel that the spiritual power on the Green Bow was gathering much faster than when he drove the "Moon Shadow Bow", and it was clear that Horn Connell, the Revenant, had a stronger level of spiritual control than himself.
This is also one of the reasons why Charles did not choose to shoot with Horn Connell's bow, it is too reluctant for a wind hunter to drive a transcendent weapon of the level of "Moon Shadow Bow", it naturally doesn't matter in the face of a melee species like the white giant wolf, but shooting against a seventh-rank wilderness hunter, isn't that looking for abuse?
There are too many flaws in the long-term spiritual power gathering process, and they can be interrupted by others every minute.
The phenomenon of spiritual power gathering on the green bow quickly stopped, which was somewhat unexpected by Charles, he had just run twenty meters, and in his opinion, Horn Connell could continue to expand the spiritual power in the green bow and deliver the most violent blow.
However, Charles immediately understood why, although Horn Connell's green bow was also an extraordinary weapon, its level could not be compared to his "Bow of the Moon Shadow", and after a large amount of spiritual power was condensed on it, not only did it not appear the terrifying light effect of the "Bow of the Moon Shadow", but also showed signs of unstable spiritual power.
It has reached the limit of its spiritual power, and it is about to become uncontrollable.
"Be careful, he's going to!"
Before Charles could finish speaking, Horn Connor shot a long arrow, and the great pressure was like a fierce beast, opening its bloody mouth and biting it.
Byrne reacted quickly to Shire's warning, leaning slightly to the right, and a large metal shield blocked the arrow path between Charles and Horn Connell.
Charles also raised his iron-clad shield in front of him, he wasn't sure if Bourne would be able to block this fierce arrow with spiritual power, he only hoped that the knight he had just collected was not a short-lived ghost.
This series of movements between them was only a matter of moments, and the arrow carrying a huge coercion collided with Bourne's great shield in an instant.
"Buzz.... Thorn stab, stab, stab, ....."
The sound of continuous metal friction sounded, and Charles saw that Byrne's shield suddenly splashed with spiritual power, and Byrne's tall body with huge strength trembled like a small tree in a storm, not knowing that it would be uprooted at that moment.
The creaking sound seemed to ring in Charles' ears for a long time, and the great pressure gradually diminished and then disappeared, and the arrow never penetrated Byrne's shield.
Looking at the aftermath of the little spiritual power emanating from Bourne's body, Charles secretly complained: "Sure enough, everyone is not simple, and this guy Bourne also has hole cards...."
The reason why the Chevalier family has two weapons on the family banner is that the Chevalier family has the inheritance of two transcendent systems, one is the hunter system and the other is the warrior system.
Charles Chevalier may have been stupid at a very young age, but he has some basic knowledge after training as a warrior since he was a child.
The technique that Bourne uses at this time is the signature skill of the transcendent warrior system - the spiritual shield.
