Cambé and Kane found a clearing near the construction site, and now the slaves on the construction site had no time to work, and even the overseers were attracted to it, only the policemen with guns remained vigilant, but they also glanced at the fighting ground from time to time.

Onlookers stand in a large circle, with two people in the middle facing each other. One is a calm and skilled swordsman, and the other is a disciple of a swordsman, a new generation of war gods who are ready to pour out their anger. Cambe is a hurdle in Kane's mind, a wall. And then today, now, at this time, he wants to cross this hurdle, to cross this wall, not only to be free, but also to make a break for himself.

"It's good to have such spirit after a day of competition." Cambe looked at the apprentice in front of him, without a trace of fatigue left by the competition, and said approvingly, "It's just that how long do you think you can last?" ”

"If you have time to talk nonsense, you might as well hurry up and suffer death!" Kane cast a contemptuous gaze at Cambe.

"Very good."

The sound of hurried footsteps marked the beginning of the battle. The two rushed towards each other almost simultaneously, and the distance of ten meters was shortened in one go.

Although his mouth is hard, Kane has not forgotten a word of Cambe's teachings. As he charged, he kept counting the distance between the two, and drew his sword first when Cambay was about to enter the attack range.

"Too slow!"

I saw Cambe raise one foot and kick over, and press Kane's hand with a "snap". With a few more exertions, the knife, which had just been drawn less than halfway through, was pressed back into its scabbard. The joking action made Kane stunned for a moment.

"Damn, don't look down on people!"

"Hehe, interesting, right?"

Kane, who was being teased, was annoyed and angry, and the scabbard swept over. Cambé took a nonchalantly step back, just dodging the scabbard. Kane took advantage of the situation to turn around, and took advantage of the moment when the knife was behind him, and suddenly drew the knife with the help of the inertia of turning.

His sneak attack was clearly seen by Cambe, who easily turned to the left, dodging Kane's sweep while stabbing the scabbard out of his left armpit and attacking Kane's left rib. Kane hurriedly stood up and parried with his scabbard. As soon as the two sides touched, he immediately recalled the attack routine behind him.

Sure enough, Cambay drew his sword, slashed a semicircle to the right, and swept a ferocious blow towards Kane behind him. As soon as Kane blocked it with his knife, Cambe immediately turned to the left, like a windmill, and the blade slammed into Kane's throat from the left side with even more force than before. Thankfully, Kananti rolled back, the blade almost grazing his nose.

Kane, who was pulling away, quickly touched his nose, but fortunately, he was not injured. The move just now was a full version of his sneak attack on Ares with his scabbard. There were other variations in each of those blows, and Kane knew he could dodge it, and it was also his luck that he guessed Cambe's idea correctly.

"This can be avoided, yes," Cambé said with satisfaction, "and how about this?" ”

He put his knife into the sheath, raised his left arm flat, with which the scabbard formed a T-shape, and his right hand hung over his left elbow.

No matter how Kane looked, he couldn't tell what medicine was sold in the campbell gourd. And no wonder, this opponent is familiar with all his habits. The longer the battle lasts, the higher the chance that you will make a mistake, and you will eventually be ruined by a fatal mistake.

Since the normal way of fighting is not good, I can only try something else.

Every night before going to bed, Kane imagines some new tricks, but he doesn't have the opportunity to practice them. Now, he feels a little more energetic. Okay or not, let's fight.

Facing Cambe, who was waiting for him, Kane reversed his usual posture, pulled out the knife first, and touched the mouth of the scabbard with his left hand, and had a bottom in his heart. Then he exhaled lightly and stepped forward.

Do you give up drawing a knife attack? Cambé didn't quite understand this stance, but his heart was full of anticipation - this kid could always exceed his imagination.

Seeing Kane approaching, Cambe put the scabbard upright, which alerted Kane, and he held the scabbard horizontally in front of him for protection, and stabbed Cambe in the abdomen with his right hand.

Cambé grabbed the scabbard with both hands, caught Kane's knife, and raised it up, Kane's hand holding the knife couldn't help but rise. Cambay raised his knife over the top, and did not draw it, but used it as a stick, and slashed it with all his might. The unexpected attack caught Kane off guard, and in a panic, he rolled to the side and pulled two metres away again.

At this distance, Cambé only needs one step to catch up, and Kane is still facing away from him, as long as he chases over, Kane can't even adjust his posture. Cambé stepped forward with confidence.

It was this step that made him fall for himself. He saw Kane turn around and swing his knife, how could it be? Did he cut me at this distance?

The pain in his abdomen interrupted Cambe's train of thought and interrupted his movements. At the same time as Kane turned around, Cambe was injured, the wound was shallow, and only a little blood was shed, which also shocked Cambe.

When he looked closely, he saw that Kane had actually stuck the handle of his knife in the scabbard. Holding the scabbard and swinging the knife, the attack range is doubled.

Now Cambé understands that Kane's series of strange moves are not only to lure him over, but also to hide his killer move.

"Extend the attack range with a scabbard? What a surprise! Interesting! ”

Kane didn't have any excitement after being praised. According to his thoughts, this blow should give Cambé enough damage, even if it is not fatal. But Cambe, who has been in a hundred battles, has long formed an instinct for danger, and the moment the knife is swung, he subconsciously takes a step back, and the blade only grazes his abdomen, much to Kane's great disappointment.

"You're reacting too fast, aren't you?"

"It's called the difference between cloud and mud," Cambé said to Kane, reasserting his knife, "Your skills are acceptable, but when it comes to grasping the atmosphere of battle, it's still far from it!" ”

"Don't talk big, come again!"

"Okay, I'll let you understand what a gap is!"

This time, Cambé showed his standard posture of drawing a knife, and Kane faced it in the same position. The two looked at each other, thinking about the timing of their strike at the same time, and rushed towards each other at the same time. Aim at the moment when the opponent enters your attack range, and strike them together.

In the eyes of the audience, I only saw the two passing by, both pulling out their blades and swapping positions. Cambay immediately withdrew the knife and turned it around calmly, unscathed.

"Ahh

Looking at Kane again, a bloody wound on his right thigh made him almost fall to his knees, and it took perseverance to hold it up, and he turned back to face Cambe's smug smile.

"You're at your wit's end, Kane."

*****

After the game, the VIPs said goodbye to Sharan in front of the VIP entrance of the Colosseum and went to the Grand Gretel. It is dedicated to welcoming VIPs watching gladiatorial matches, and is one of the many industries under the name of Sharan. VIPs don't need to register, they just need to light up the black tickets in their hands, and a waiter will lead them to their respective rooms.

"Sir, do you need me to take you to your room?"

"Not for now, thank you."

Schubeluz, who had sent away the waiter, felt that he still had plenty of time, so he planned to take Tarina out for a walk. If there is a good restaurant, it will be solved with dinner, he does not like to eat in that hotel.

"Shall we go out for a walk?" Schuberuz asked Tarina, and the girl didn't seem to hear, leaning against a pillar and bowing her head.

"What's wrong, Tarney?"

"I'm thinking, Kane...... What will happen? ”

"Now that you have won the championship, you can choose to leave or stay, in short, you don't have to work hard anymore."

"Will he leave then?"

"I guess he doesn't like it so much." Schubeluz said, thinking about it, then changed his words, "but it will be difficult for him to leave." ”

The girl turned and stared.

"Why?"

"He's a slave and has nothing, how can he get out of Larvega? The nearest city is also seventy or eighty kilometers away, and there is no food or drink. ”

Thinking of Kane's tattered rags, his tanned face, and his lips shriveled from lack of moisture, Tarini knew Schubelez was right. The girl thought with a bitter face, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed and her eyes were full of anticipation.

"I have an idea."

*****

The onlookers had mixed feelings. What was a wonderful duel just now turned into a farce in the blink of an eye. The leg injury took a toll on Kane, who had to stop every moment to rest, and Cambe was playful enough to stop. When Kane can move, he will beat him down like a fool.

Everyone understands that Cambé can tackle Kane at any time, he's just playing.

Kane, who has always been full of energy, really felt the meaning of exhaustion for the first time. The wound on his leg hurt hotly, his chest was numb, and his breath was uneven. The farce lasted for a few minutes, and Cambay finally got tired of it.

"I'm disappointed, Kane, that's all you have to do."

He shook his head and shoved the knife back into its scabbard, pointing at Kane like a nagging aunt.

"Not yet...... Whew, whew, end ......"

"Your mouth is still hard, but can you still stand up?"

Unwillingly, Kane supported the ground with a knife and struggled to get up, but he still couldn't stop panting. His body was a little disobedient, and coupled with his leg injury, he didn't fall to the ground, which was already the limit.

Cambé smiled and walked over, using the scabbard as a whip and slamming it on Kane's head.

"Well, it seems that your parents did the right thing. Such a spineless waste, it is better to sell it as soon as possible to subsidize the family. Maybe when you leave the house with your front foot, they're happily counting the money, right? ”

“…… You give me ......"

"Edward is also blind, and Hasta is even more wronged, such a thing costs so much money. I'm curious how you survived in Edward's house? Did he find out on his conscience for a while? Yes? ”

“…… Shut up ......"

"Forget it, you are also the champion of the gladiatorial arena today, give you a face, how about you win? Let's go, this place is not for you, in fact, you are more suitable for some ......"

"I'm telling you to shut up!!!"

Kane, who had already clenched his fists, inserted his fingers into the flesh, and his teeth bit out blood. The anger completely burst out, and the fighting spirit burned to the extreme. The knife in his hand seemed to echo it, and the red light of the scabbard expanded, deepened, and turned into blood red, beating like a burning fire. The "flame" gradually crept up Kane's arms and then took over his entire body.

It feels like the knife has become one with oneself and has become a part of the body. Kane didn't know that his eyes had turned blood-red, and he didn't see the panicked looks of the people around him.

In his eyes, there is only the enemy.

"Cambay ——!!!"

With a declaration of war, Kane's pace returned to its original speed, no, it was obviously several times faster than before. The leg injury has become an ornament, and the tiredness has been swept away. A blaze of fire swept through the dust and slammed into Cambay.

Cambé was caught off guard, he was slow to react. When Kane drew his knife in front of him, he could only block it with his scabbard.

"Uh-oh!!"

Without giving Cambé any time to adjust his posture, Kane's knife swung towards Cambé like an airtight net with his roar, slashing, stabbing, chopping, and raining down. The speed and strength are not at the same level as just now. A barrage of attacks left Cambay powerless and had to retreat to parry. The two of them were all the way to the dust, and the blades collided non-stop.

However, Cambe was able to withstand Kane's attack. He persevered for a while, and finally waited for his chance. As Kane slashed head-on, he quickly extended his scabbard to block the blow in mid-air in advance, followed with a knife in his right hand, and swept Kane's waist. He was convinced that this offensive and defensive move could interrupt Kane's continuous offensive and allow him to regain the initiative.

But his calculations fell through. Kane saw through this action, and the moment the knife was blocked, he immediately retracted and swung to the left, blocking Cambe's knife. This action was almost synchronized with Cambe's movements, and it was not at all the speed of human reactions. Before Cambe could come to his senses, Kane took a heavy step with his right foot and slammed his shoulder into Cambe. Caught off-balance, Cambé ducked back, instinctively sensing the danger, and watched Kane's knife come down from the bottom up, scrambling to block.

With a click, Cambe's knife was sliced in two. He didn't even have time to be surprised, and the scarlet blade turned into a bloody mouth and bit down on his throat!

"Drink, ah, ah!!"

"Just like me......"

Tarini's words flashed through Kane's mind, like a tranquilizer, calming the beast incredibly. The roar of rage, the whistling of the knife, did not bring a blood-red color.

The onlookers, like Cambay, had frozen expressions. The blade stopped about a centimeter from Cambe's throat, just as Cambé had swung his knife at Kane in the dojo, except that the two had switched positions.

The light that had originally wrapped Kane gradually faded and disappeared. The scabbard and blade, along with Kane's eyes, have returned to their original color.

Under the setting sun, a person is bare-handed, and a person is holding a knife flat, motionless, like two statues. Cambé looked at Kane's face and smiled with relief.

"Am I right? If you want to spare the enemy, you must first learn to kill the enemy. ”

Reason slowly returned to Kane's mind, making him recall Cambe's words at that time, and also allowing him to understand the truth and Cambe's intentions to some extent.

If you let your anger dominate and swing this knife, you will leave behind an even greater trauma.

"Is this the real thing, the last lesson?"

"Yes, and I'm sure you'll get past this last test. Now that you can control your knife, you can control your anger, I have nothing more to teach you, you go. ”

Kane looked at the master's face, which seemed to be no longer ugly, but becoming kind and content.

After standing for a long time, he silently walked past Cambe. The crowd automatically made a way for him. Kane took a few steps and turned around again.

"I hate you, no doubt. However, you have taught me a lot, so ......"

He bent down and bowed deeply to Cambe.

"Thank you for your continued teachings, farewell, Teacher."

With his last words, Kane strode away as the crowd watched.

Cambé didn't see Kane bowing, those words were enough. Yes, enough was enough, he passed everything on to Kane, who preserved it well, and he felt supreme joy and satisfaction as if another self was born.

"Farewell, boy. I brought you into this cruel world, don't let me down. ”

*****

The exhaustion of the battle and the sweat all over his body made it difficult for Kane. He plans to go back to Larvega to see if there is a chance to leave. However, with his current physical strength, it is a question of whether he can go to Larvega.

He sat down on a stone by the side of the road and rested, and looked at the knife in his hand. The scabbard was still the silvery-white that day, with occasional faint red light.

The hands were still hot, and the muscles were still shaking. But the fighting spirit just now, as well as the indescribable excitement, disappeared without a trace.

At that time, what happened to me?

The sound of the engine approached from behind him, and the buggy stopped beside him. The door opened, and Tarini couldn't wait to jump out of the car and run in front of Kane.

"I've found you."

"Tarini?"

Taleni was a little happy: "Wow, you actually remember my name?" ”

"I have some impressions of the people I've met."

"And what else is it like? Well, a point can be added. ”

The critical Taleni quickly saw Kane's legs and quickly squatted down.

"You're hurt?"

"It's okay, I can still walk."

"But you can't get out of Larvega, can you? I don't have any money, have you figured out what to do in the future? ”

Kane thought about it, he wanted to leave RalVega early, go to the port, and go home with a ship. It's just that he is penniless, and he has no other way but to try his luck but to remain silent.

"Since you don't have any ideas, you can come with me."

"With you?

"Hmmm! You can be my bodyguard! Tarini said excitedly.

Kane looked at the SUV and the two muscular bodyguards who had gotten out of it.

"You have bodyguards, right?"

"Yes, there is, but ......"

The girl pursed her lips and frowned, as if the lie had been exposed.

"Ahh No matter! Anyway, you have to come with me! That's it! ”

She pointed at Kane and said in a commanding tone, in an unmistakable tone.

What a freak, Kane thought. But fortunately, in a sense, this girl saved herself once.

At that time, if it weren't for her, I'm afraid I wouldn't have returned to normal.

"I see."

*****

Satisfied, Cambay returned to his car with his empty scabbard. He was going to keep the scabbard forever, and when he saw it, he saw Kane.

He smiled, put his hand on the door, and put it down again.

"You're here too." He turned.

"It hasn't been long since I arrived." Schubertz said, looking at Cambay's scabbard again with a look of surprise.

"I didn't expect you to be alive......"

Cambé smiled even more.

"That kid was a prodigy who did what I didn't do back then. At this rate, it's only a matter of time before I surpass me. ”

"Then weeping blood, just give it to him?"

"yes, he loves it too. Why, you seem to be worried? ”

"You said that you failed to control the weeping blood, killed the master by mistake, and had to flee. Now leave it to that kid, I'm worried about him ......"

"I passed...... I've been scared, but he's fine. ”

Cambé replied in the affirmative, somewhat relieved.

For more than 20 years, he came all the way with weeping blood, with the guilt of killing his master, and with the fear of crying blood. Now, it's finally all down.

"What are you going to do in the future?" Schubelez asked.

"Secretly go back to my hometown, mourn my master, and then find a place to live quietly." Cambé replied, and got into the driver's seat again.

"Then I will accept your beloved disciple. The little princess seems to like him. ”

"Hehe, yes. What I can't teach him, you can. ”

Through the car door, the two said goodbye to each other.
