Su Mo now confirmed one thing-that is, the sound of steel smashing on the bluestone floor was very crisp. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

But at the same time, he also realized another thing, and that was .......

"Broken ......"

Ace looked at the polished sword in her hand—well, the one that was broken from the middle even to the end.

The expression was dumbfounded.

Although she usually has no expression, a little cold and a little dull, but now her sluggishness can be more obvious.

Looks like I've been hit hard.

“...... Well, that, sorry. ”

Su Mo touched the back of his head a little embarrassed, squatted on the ground and picked up the other half of the sword blade and handed it to Ace.

This is a longsword that is not particularly good but is very well maintained, and it has probably been used by Ace for a long time, and has been repaired and strengthened by the forger countless times.

Although it is indeed not a particularly good longsword in Su Mo's eyes, it is estimated that it is also a very high-quality weapon in this Ou Lali - after all, the level of combat experienced by adventurers is there, and the manpower is sometimes exhausted. Even if this sword was also carefully crafted by Hephaestus's superior forger, it was really not interesting in front of Esther, who could affect the direction of the war in the entire world with his own strength.

Probably thirteenth.

Su Mo had the impression that after thirteen direct collisions between the two swords, the sword in Ace's hand snapped off. Resolutely, resolutely, simply.

I think I'm handy, really. ’

Su Mo also paid considerable attention to the direction of the blade when the two swords collided every time, so that it would not directly face Ace's sword with the sharpest blade, and then

"But you're really stubborn."

Raising his hand and using his magic power, he covered the girl's left shoulder with a wound about twenty centimeters long, which was the result of the sword qi that accidentally flew out in between. In addition to the wound on her shoulder, Ace's clothes became tattered and her fair skin loomed, but because she was not directly attacked, and she was still wearing light armor, she did not suffer more damage.

"No, it's just my lack of personal strength."

Shaking her head, Ace carefully wrapped the broken blade in a long cloth: "Thank you very much." ”

Then bow slightly.

There was a look of gratitude in his eyes.

“...... Huh? ”

"In the midst of that stormy pressure, I feel like I've found a way to break through!"

Ace seemed to emerge from her frustration at once—though she still looked down at the broken sword in her hand with a painful look.

"Uh, well, that's good."

Shake m, are you?!

Su Mo, who was roaring in his heart, seemed to have completely forgotten how he had become stronger in the first place—and in every sense, the pressure he was under was far higher than that of Ace now.......

"Ahh

Loki on the side said with a bored face.

“......”

Then Su Mo glanced at her directly: "Dare to love us, we have a fight, and we will provide you with free visual enjoyment, right?" ”

"That's nature!"

Directly compared to a thumbs up.

Although the end of the battle was indeed very soon - although Su Mo didn't even use his own magic power, and only relied on simple skills to compete with Ace, the gap between the two was still a little too big after all.

Thirteen blade strikes didn't take a long time, even if they included the grappling and punches and kicks in the fight, it was only about three minutes. What's more, the sword skills of the two belong to the audience present is quite ornamental and combat reference value, so everyone thinks that the end is too fast.

In Ace's subjective timeline, it was quite a long time.

Because of the complete concentration of energy, the previous in front of me slowly glided like a slow-motion shot, and even the flow of sound seemed to have been delayed.

There are two scenarios in which this can be felt:

First, in the face of an unprecedented strong enemy, nerves are tense.

Second, in the face of a weak person with a slightly larger gap in strength, it is impossible to see the action quickly.

Ace and Su Mo belong to the two.

So it's normal for Ace to feel that the bottleneck has been broken, so it's normal for Loki to feel that the battle is over too quickly - of course, she doesn't feel unfinished because she has gained a lot of inspiration from the battle, but she is really watching the show.

"So be it, I'll—"

"Well, please advise me later!"

Ace bowed earnestly again, then left the platform with her broken sword wrapped in cloth.

“...... Hey Riveria, why do I think her 'please advise' made me feel a little weak? ”

The corners of Su Mo's mouth twitched and asked at Riveria, who walked beside him.

"As I said before, he was a serious, strong, and very stubborn child."

Riveria smiled, looking at Riveria's departing back as if she were looking at her own daughter.

“......”

Su Mo felt that his back was starting to get cold.

"I should be able to say no, right? I have the right to refuse, right? ”

Su Mo asked with a serious expression.

"Well, of course you can refuse, there is no one to force you at this point."

Riveria's first sentence made him breathe a sigh of relief, and then choked him with her second sentence: "But whether you refuse or not has nothing to do with Ace's child." ”

When he said this, Riveria's expression could be said to be quite gentle.

What does your doting look mean, I feel some kind of inexplicable threat in your eyes. ’

Silently a few steps away from Riveria.

Then the elf girl silently leaned over again.

A natural expression on his face.

“......”

Su Mo covered his face and easily opened the holy sword in his hand, and the long sword turned into an expressionless little Lori in the stunning eyes of Bert and others.

Then Elquet, who had been watching the scenery for a long time, jumped over - I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, this girl came and stuck directly between Su Mo and Riveria, and then looked up and smiled happily: by the way, he held his arm in his arms.

“....... Tsk, okay, but I'm going to go out in the next few days. ”

After thinking about it, Su Mo felt that even Ace should not find herself alone every day, after all, no matter how strong she is, she should also know the truth of combining work and rest.

She's still an unusually tough guy, though.......

"Hopefully ......."

Shrinking his neck.

"Out of the house? Where to? ”

Then, Riveria, who was squeezed out of the way by Elquit, said that it didn't matter at all - he walked directly to the other side of Su Mo and asked without changing his face.

"I'm going to have some fun in the dungeon, and I can't see my stats at all - but I'd like to see if I can level up by killing monsters."

Su Mo shrugged.

"Then come back as soon as possible, Loki is ready to convene a meeting of the gods recently to discuss the next round of expeditions: there will be a big operation soon."

"Understand, I naturally won't miss this kind of thing, and I'll be back in three days."

Or do you want to go and see what you have at the bottom first?

Su Mo thought so. (To be continued.) )
