Chapter 17: Disarming
The best at dealing with the least good.
If your opponent is slow, use your speed to play the time difference. If the opponent's strength is poor, use the strength to crush it. If the offense is high and the defense is low, then use the physical advantage to exchange injuries for injuries and eat the opponent raw.
But Spartacus was not bad at it. As a powerful protagonist, his strength, speed, and physical strength should have reached the extreme value allowed in this world, and there are no shortcomings to exploit.
"If you find that your opponent has no weaknesses, then use his psychology in the fight to create weaknesses! Just like you did before. Vero continued to train Kirk.
Kirk made a block and blocked his opponent's thrust. He's carefully watching his opponent's every move, attack, and feint. Gladiators were very cautious in their fights, mainly relying on movement and feints to shake off or deceive their opponents' defenses, and rarely made reckless moves, which would cause a lot of flaws. Mistakes are not allowed in the gladiatorial arena. A flaw caused by a careless shot, caught by an experienced opponent, is doomed.
If you want to defeat this humanoid demonic beast, when he is calm, there is no flaw. There is only one way, and that is to stimulate him, make him full of killing passion and desire to attack, and there will be flaws in his shot. So, Kirk was at full throttle, holding his weapon with both hands, dancing with lightning speed, cutting at Spartacus with one blade!
Spartacus became excited, he liked this kind of sword and sword shadow, and the battle with the death dance, and finally couldn't help but let out a long roar, and Da Lu laughed and opened his firepower, and fought with Kirk.
Vero looked speechlessly at the two elated guys, playing with each other to create wounds on each other. This is a rare occurrence in the gladiatorial arena and is usually fatal with one hit.
Suddenly, Spartacus launched a surprise attack, taking advantage of a gap after Kirk's attack and slashing viciously. If Kirk is concentrated, Kirk will lose his right arm and will have to admit defeat and withdraw from the fight.
Kirk himself felt that he couldn't dodge this attack, and he had to withdraw from the field to get his lunch. However, now his mind was empty, as if he was blessed to his soul, and he subconsciously used dual weapons to block, and actually succeeded in blocking Spartacus's fatal blow!
Then, as if he was being pulled by the wrist, he twisted the opponent's wooden sword with his dual weapons, and under the surprised gaze of Spartacus and Vero, he turned his wrist with both hands and sensitively pressed the wooden sword down to the bottom! Then there was another stirring, and Spartacus's wooden sword flew away!
The wooden sword spun and flew into the distance, "fluttering", and fell into the sea.
Space made a prompt: "No. 4444 contractor, you have automatically comprehended the basic melee skill [Basic Block Mastery] LEVEL1: Passive skill, in melee combat, there is a 5% chance to use a weapon to block the opponent's attack, and blocking requires strength and agility judgment. After successfully blocking, you will not take any damage, and your opponent will be stiff for 2 seconds, unable to dodge your attacks. Weapon durability is doubled.
No. 4444 Contractor, you automatically comprehended the advanced melee skill [Disarming] LEVEL1: Active Skill during the battle, after successfully blocking, at the cost of 10 points of energy, cross and press down the opponent's weapon, and then stir it away. Strength and agility are required, and if successful, the opponent's weapon will be in [Disarm] for 4 seconds. While in the [Disarmed] state, the opponent cannot attack with weapons. The [Disarm] status can be calculated consecutively from the freeze time generated by the block. ”
All three were stunned. Spartacus had been defeated, but his weapons had been disarmed, something he had never done. Kirk withdrew his weapon and stared for a moment. This space is full of dangers, but it also contains infinite opportunities. continued to fight Spartacus alone, and his potential was squeezed to the extreme, and he achieved a breakthrough in ability.
"Good boy!" Vero smiled and punched Kirk in the shoulder, "Dare to disarm the monster, it's very two-hitting." ”
"Don't get complacent." Spartacus said with a dark face: "This is just the beginning, take up arms, let's do it all over again." ”
Kirk smiled, having fought Spartacus twice, he already had confidence. This self-confidence comes from his adventures since entering space, and death has passed by again and again, he has looked down on danger, but he is more eager for strength.
Train with a demigod gladiator like Spartacus and dance on the tip of the death knife, and your strength will grow rapidly.
When the moon rose to mid-heaven, the two men finally stopped.
Kirk was so painful that he couldn't lift his hands, his shoulders were shattered, his head was broken, and his clothes were riddled with holes, and his condition was miserable.
Spartacus wasn't too good either, covered in blood, and several wounds were still bleeding. Once Kirk is in a hurry, his attack speed and damage are still considerable. He has 7 melee skills, 5 of which have been upgraded to level 5, and his melee ability is not vegetarian.
"That's all for today. I'm going to train tomorrow. Vero said. The three agreed to continue training at 12 o'clock tomorrow night, and then broke up.
Kirk returned to his lodgings and began to gather his thoughts.
It has been 3 days since the world of "Blood and Sand", and the feature of [Arena Mode] is that there are few tasks, even the main quest is hidden, and there are fewer rewards for completing the quest. The main benefit is that the contractors kill each other to obtain the Blood Key and the [Valuables]. At present, Audi, a veteran, counts his own share, with a total of 4 Blood Keys and 12 Soul Crystals, which has aroused the envy and jealousy of all the contractors. In the next step, he will continue to practice his melee ability with Spartacus on the one hand, and on the other hand, he will provoke Audi to fight with other contractors to prepare for fishing in troubled waters.
The next morning, Kirk woke up to half of his injuries after four hours of rest. At the critical moment, he did not want to use the medicine he had received from the contractor. He came to the training ground and the morning training started on time.
Sure enough, just as Kirk suggested to the one-eyed dragons. This time, the contractors chose the round giant shield MT to take the initiative to challenge Audi. Audi, of course, refuses. However, MT moved out of the sacred gladiator law and asked to fight the gladiator and obtain the gladiator qualification by giving up his right to surrender. Under Docott's orders and the contemptuous gaze of the gladiators, Audi accepted MT's challenge with resentment, claiming to kill the challenger in public.
The corners of Kirk's mouth curled.
Audi vs. MT, crowd onlookers. It can be seen that MT has been buffed with a lot of beneficial states before the battle, and the ones that Kirk can recognize are the [Cat Dexterity] and [Stone Skin] that he has drunk. Coupled with the fact that MT itself relies on defense and health to eat, the very dazzling Spartan Shield should be at least a dark blue piece of equipment, making MT almost an iron-clad hedgehog. Audi belongs to the kind of warlock who relies on spells and greetings to eat, and although his attack power is also very good, it is not an effective threat to MT hiding behind a shield.
The Gladiator Code stated that if a slave challenged a gladiator, the gladiator had to accept the challenge, but one of them had to die to end the challenge. Gladiators can't challenge others until the challenge is over. You can rest and sleep in between. So, throughout the morning, Audi and MT were there to "ping pong" to practice offense and defense. The others were in high spirits at first, and after 1 hour no one paid attention to them again. At noon, someone called the two to take a break and continue in the afternoon. Audi naturally hated it, and the contractors were all smiling.
Kirk notices that while Audi is entangled in MT, the one-eyed dragon and the sorceress are not idle, and they are always challenging the gladiators. This time it is not a passive release, but a serious search for an opportunity. Finally, in the afternoon challenge, the one-eyed dragon took the lead in achieving a breakthrough and defeated a black gladiator in one fell swoop. Kirk watched coldly, there was a lot of water in it, and the black gladiators were not very normal, I am afraid that the one-eyed dragon bought Ashur and let the black gladiators release the water.
And the female magician also took advantage of Ashur's lustful characteristics again, directly challenged Ashur, and then used her charm + magic again, and soon turned Ashur into a real pig's head and knocked him to the ground.
Despite the disgraceful tactics employed by both men, they defeated the gladiator in a one-on-one situation. Batitas had no choice but to agree to them joining the gladiators. It is estimated that this treacherous and cunning old fox guessed that these two parallel goods would definitely die in the performance of the Marseille Dionysian Festival, and in a few days, the gladiators would be gladiators.
The MT, on the other hand, happily pestered Audi all the time, presumably that others had compensated him for the good enough. Even if he can't get the status of a gladiator, he is already satisfied.
Audi was furious all day, but he couldn't disobey the orders of the training camp now, and he didn't dare to risk provoking the anger of the crowd to kill the contractor without permission. Although he is superior in strength, he can't defeat the 14 contractors who join forces.
As the days passed, the Dionysian festival of Marseille was about to begin.
In the past few days, Kirk has ignored what is going on outside the window, and only practiced hard kung fu. Every day, he participated in training, whipped him, threw pit into a pit, and was beaten badly, and at night he was abused by Spartacus and Vero in turn. Kirk didn't know how much his combat skills had improved, but his beating skills and the thickness of his skin and flesh had made a qualitative leap.
Speaking with data, he was beaten to the point that his physical strength was +1, he was beaten to the point that the [Basic Defense] broke through level 6, the [Basic Block Mastery] was beaten to level 3, and even the [Disarming] was upgraded to level 2, which shows how many fat beatings he takes every day.
