Chapter 2062: Decisive Victory in the Ring (45)

Time rewinds again, to two o'clock in the afternoon.

The fourth match of Group 3 of the Round Table Trial Ring Tournament will be played by the Leopard Man Segrade against the Shield Knight Vidal.

"Strongshield ......?" the Leopard Man Youth hadn't done any research on his opponent before the match began. Not because he was lazy, but because his opponent simply didn't leave any replays of the ring available for Segrad to study. Vidal only needs to play one game to advance to the current semi-finals, and Vidal is also very lucky, the opponent he met in the first game was unable to play due to an accident, so the Shield Knight won without a fight, so there was no live broadcast of the battle.

On the Segrad side, you can roughly guess from the name of the opponent what tactics the shield knight Vidal will use. Sure enough, when the leopard youth jumped off the transport, he could see his opponent from a distance, armed with a shield. ...... And not just one shield, it's four.

Vidal, a dark-skinned and sturdy shield knight, was equipped with shields on both arms and legs, and the specifications were supposed to be mid-shields, and from a distance, those shields looked like some kind of exaggerated arm armor and leg armor. The outer edges of those shields also had sharp blades, and it seemed that Vidal was not only using these shields for defense, but also used the sharp edges of the shields to smash opponents when it came to a fight. Ordinary people feel very difficult to put up a shield for defense, but if they have not received quite professional special training, it will be very difficult to fight with a shield that has been strongly enchanted on all sides.

Just by looking at it, I felt that the knight was a character with high defensive ability. Segrade remembered at this time, France seems to have such a knight order called the Knights of the Shield, which is composed of pikemen and shield soldiers in a one-to-one formation, and the action has always been a team of two, the knight with the shield blocks the attack in front, and the knight with the giant piercing spear is responsible for the main output of the battle. This Knights of the Shield of France performed well not only in siege battles but also in defense battles, and they are still a little famous.

However, it was now a one-on-one heads-up, and Segrade was only in front of the Shield Knight with a shield, and his partner Piercing Knight did not enter the battle. How far can Vidal, the shield knight, go by himself, Segrade couldn't help but wonder how far he could go.

"Hmph. Victor, too, was curious and snorted. Because today's Segrade is armed with weapons that have never been used in normal times, there is a huge deviation from Victor's prediction.

"Won't you fight with your glass stalk and glass shield?" asked Victor, "You want to beat me with just two lightsabers?"

Segrade shrugged his shoulders and activated the two lightsabers in his hands. With a sky-blue blade on one side and an emerald green blade on the other, the [Breath of the Sky] and [Breath of the Earth] lightsabers were the weapons that the Rusford siblings gave to Segrade, respectively, and he will use them in the game today.

"I'm sorry, but my brother took my Changyue and used it to win against our father Meow. Segrade then replied, "So I'll use these two weapons to fight." But the performance of these two lightsabers is not bad at all, if you think I don't have a good weapon and use the lightsaber to make do, but I will suffer meow!"

"Yes, then I'm relieved. Victor, the shield knight, stepped forward and was already ready for battle: "Let's fight." ＂

As soon as the other party's words fell, Segrade had already rushed forward with his twin swords, and slashed with his sword. His judgment was correct, since the opponent was the kind of warrior who was good at defense, it was obvious that it would be best to carry out a surprise onslaught before the opponent was completely alerted and put in a defensive posture. Of course, Segrade didn't expect this sudden attack to have an effect, after all, the opponent was also a seasoned fighter. Sure enough, Vidal's double shields in both hands were raised, easily blocking Segrade's lightsaber slash!

The output of the lightsaber is very powerful, but it only leaves a slight scorching mark on the shield surface, and the two shields obviously have extremely good enchantments, and the defense is very amazing.

Seeing that he couldn't cut at all with a single blow, Segrade immediately retreated. Thankfully, he backed away, and his opponent had already raised his shield and slammed it at him, and the blunt blow of the shield nearly hit the leopard-man youth's head. Although the power of the shield strike is not very powerful, the opponent can immediately use such a swift counterattack when blocking the attack, which really surprised Segrade. Vidal is indeed a knight with extremely professional training, and those shields are also used very well, and they can handle most situations with them.

"Not bad. Seeing that the shield strike missed, the shield knight Vidal admired the agility of the leopard youth: "Are you little leopards so agile? ＂

"Little Leopard...... A drop of sweat broke out of Segrade's forehead, and he always felt that the other party's title made people angry.

Putting that aside, Segrade adjusted the binary lightsaber's enchantment controllers so that their appearance changed as the enchantment changed. Originally, the lightsaber relied on a fixed-shaped barrier to circulate photons through it to form a blade. In addition to the use of particularly advanced photon mirrors and higher and more stable output, the biggest feature of [Breath of the Sky] and [Breath of the Earth] is that they use a custom enchantment controller, which can be controlled into several different shapes through different programs. This was originally the design of the Rustford siblings, and there were many parts that were too complicated to be used in actual combat, and Segrade spent a lot of time simplifying this system into a version that was convenient for its own use, forming a system that could switch between several different forms of lightsabers with one click.

One of the two lightsabers became a light shield, and the other became a curved hook knife with a special arc, the shape of the curved hook knife has been proven in actual combat, and it is very effective for piercing shields, and Segrade believes that it is best to use the curved hook knife against the four shields of the strong shield Vidal. As for the light shield, it is used to defend against the sudden attack of the opponent, and the shield is used to resist the shield and disperse the impact, which Segrade believes is also a feasible tactic.

"Interesting. I rang out. Could it be that these two lightsabers were made by that kid from Rustford? he gave you the lightsaber?" asked Vidal.

"Ah, it's a bet meow. Segrade then replied, "This is my reward for winning the game." ＂

The Shield Knight frowned, "You want to defeat me with a weapon you got from a defeated general?"

"The weapon itself doesn't carry this pot, the weapon is a good weapon, it depends on whether its user can exert its full performance. Segrade snorted.

"Yes. So let's give it a try. Vidal ended the conversation and began to sprint towards the Leopard Youth. Although the shield knight was very large, carrying four shields and heavy equipment, his movements were unexpectedly agile------ no, not only agile, his mobility was a little unimaginably high, and after a burst of running, he actually rose up against the ground!

"Jetpack meow. Segrade saw the light burning behind Vidal, which was presumably similar to the thrusters used by the Iron Rider, but with a further miniaturization. As long as there is enough propulsion, it can make up for the lack of mobility of Vidal's heavy equipment. Moreover, Vidal's whole body is defensive heavy equipment, which is not suitable for swinging swords and swords to play melee combat with opponents, directly raising the shield to use impact, relying on a strong collision to force the opponent to dodge, this is the safest way of fighting.

In this way, the hook knife in Segrade's hand is useless. After all, the Scimitar needs to be close enough to swing it to hurt someone, but Vidal's impact speed is so fast that the opponent can knock the Leopard Man Youth into the air before Segrade can get close and swing the knife to hit the Shield Knight hiding behind the shield. For now, let's focus on dodging attacks.

Thinking like this, Segrade slid sideways in an attempt to dodge the opponent's shield charge. If you calculate the trajectory and speed of Vidal's collision, this side-slip step should be more than enough to dodge the attack.

"It's useless!" However, Vidal was not blind, and of course he could see his opponent's dodge in the high-speed shield rush. He kicked the ground with his foot, and the shield on his leg slammed into the ground. This impact instantly changed Vidal's trajectory, allowing him to strike in an arc towards the Leopard Youth!

Segrade was startled, but at this time, the opponent was only five yards away from him, and he was about to collide, and it was too late to dodge again. In a hurry, Segrid transformed the lightsabers in both hands into the form of light shields, and forcibly raised two light shields on top of them!

With a dull thud and the pain of his arms almost breaking, Segrade was knocked into the air. The defense of the light shield is not without effect, but after all, it is a relatively light equipment composed of photons, and there is still a big gap between the defense ability and the opponent's highly enchanted physical shield, and this gap is even more obvious in the high-speed collision head-on.

Regardless of whether it is a weapon composed purely of photons or a weapon enchanted with photons, in the same degree of collision, the side with a lower concentration of photons will inevitably be subjected to a greater reaction force, which is a constant and unchanging physical law in this world (the universe). Since the photons are not fixed in materials such as steel, and only rely on enchantments to restrain the flow of photons in them, the defensive ability of the light shield will almost never be comparable to that of a real enchanted shield!

And that's not the worst------

"There's a flaw!" Vidal, the shield knight who had just knocked Segrade into the air, had already completed his turn in an instant, aiming at the leopard man youth who was flying in the air and had not yet landed at full speed!
