Chapter 49: Challenges (continued)
"Come on, there are still many people waiting. Faust hooked his fingers, "I'm in a hurry." ”
Faust was arrogant. He wasn't originally such a flamboyant character, but since the aborigines ate this, there was no need for him to do any tricks to insist on his true self.
On the other side of the field, Tosaka looked a little nervous. Compared to Faust, who was well-proportioned, he was slightly thin and a head shorter.
He lowered his body and spread his arms, holding a bronze machete and shield in his hands. Unlike the Toad tribes, these natives had mastered the smelting of bronze, and some wealthy warriors even possessed iron tools.
Tosaka used to have an iron sword, but now there is only an old bronze knife, and the shield is only covered with a layer of buffalo skin on wood.
He covered half of his body with a shield and faced Faust with a knife in one hand. He stood far away, even to the edge of the bonfire's glow, and the dim light of the fire shone on his body, which seemed a little mysterious.
He slowly circled around and looked at Faust warily, without the slightest intention of answering Faust's question.
Faust waited for him for a few seconds, and found that the other party had no intention of talking, so he tilted his head, "Since you don't come, then I'll go over." With that, he took a step forward.
The emaciated Tosaka hurriedly took a step back, almost hitting the crowd of onlookers. Before Faust could make any moves, the burakumen who watched the bustle booed him.
Such an environment is very suitable for Faust to use his psychic abilities, whether it is the dissatisfaction of the onlookers or the tension in Tosaka's heart, he can easily destroy this young man who knows nothing about mysterious powers.
But he wasn't going to do that. These natives are afraid that they cannot understand the mysteries of the art of the mind, and that their inexplicable abilities can only bring fear, not respect.
"I am a child of the earth......" Faust said in a faint but barely audible voice. As he chanted, wisps of sand trembled and floated up from the ground.
At first, these small things were inconspicuous, but as time went on, the natives who saw them finally noticed the clues.
"Ahh The person next to him gave him a blank look, "Of course it's sand, what do you think?" Speaking of which, the wind is a bit strong today......
"Not true. The priest of the tribe stood not far away, his face solemn, "The trajectory of those gravel movements...... "Is this the power of witchcraft?" awe rose in the priest's heart...... and longing – once upon a time, his parents and ancestors also held this power.
It's certainly not a psychic ability. For the sake of visual effect, Faust used his most fancy means - the ability to control the earth brought about by Hud Meier's dentures.
The three pieces of equipment provided by Pacien don't seem to be excellent at first glance, but the gift of an ancient demon lord is not so simple?
In addition to the demonic use of biological tissue as the main material, these three pieces of equipment also have another trait - actively stimulating them does not consume the energy stored in them, but instead requires artificial power from the wielder.
This also reflects the difference in perception of equipment between demons and humans - demons generally have powerful abilities, and equipment is more used to provide a unique ability and increase the variety of means, while human equipment is often used to improve instant combat power or endurance.
For example, this Sheud Meier's denture will melt into the owner's body, just like real teeth, and will not fall out until the owner dies. The ability it brings to the owner is like the supernatural power that the master already has, and only consumes physical strength.
Faust's constitution is 15, which gives him enough physical strength to support the operation of this equipment - this kind of abusive use of the dish can even be carried out for hours on end.
As the amount of sand and gravel in the air increased, more and more indigenous people discovered anomalies. "What is that?" "It's witchcraft!" "He's a son of the earth!" "I've heard that as long as he stands on the ground, he has infinite power!" Many of the onlookers saw supernatural power for the first time, so there was a lot of discussion, and naturally some of them brought out hearsay legends to show off.
This is exactly what Faust wanted to see, and the rumors would cast an aura of mystery on him, and the natives would be in awe of him...... and even surrender to him.
Looking at the awe-inspiring or curious gazes of the natives, he couldn't help but have a bold idea - after the old chieftain "died in honor", he might be able to compete for the position of chief by marriage.
"Ahh
He couldn't help but frown, and when he looked up, he saw that it was Tosaka rushing over. "Oh, you want to do it again?" said Faust with a playful laugh.
In fact, Tosaka did not make any mistakes, and from the beginning of the battle, he ignored every word that Faust spat out, and never acted at the pace of the enemy, and if it was really evenly matched, this correct attitude would certainly give him a considerable advantage.
It's a pity that ...... "too weak!" Faust suddenly shouted, and the sand flying in the air rushed towards him. Not to mention the large dust gathered, the floating dust on the ground also rose up like an earth dragon.
"Poof. There was a soft sound, as if ...... The dust slowly dissipated and returned to a pattern of slowly fluttering around Faust, and the scene in the field was finally revealed to everyone.
Faust's posture did not change, except that his right hand reached out and crossed his chest. But the appearance of the hand was turned upside down—Faust's hand was four or five times larger than before, and had a dull grayish-yellow color, which looked like a dirty cotton glove from a distance.
However, anyone with a little brain knows that this "glove" is not made of cotton - the bronze knife only cuts half an inch deep into the glove, and it can no longer move forward.
"With your size, this strength is staggering, and it seems that you are not as weak as you are rumored. Faust said to Tosaka casually, "Why do you hide your powers?" Faust certainly knew why, he was afraid that the old chief would kill him like his parents.
It seems that love has triumphed over the fear of death, and Faust smiled, "What a naïve child." Faust can only give such an evaluation of the granddaughter who will fall in love with the enemy's granddaughter, and even expose himself for her.
"I was almost touched by your love. Faust put away his smile and said to Tosaka with a blank face. Behind him was a campfire, and the light of the fire stretched his shadow so long that it almost covered Tosaka's entire body.
From Tosaka's point of view, only a tall black silhouette could be seen, and the shadow's right hand was deformedly swollen, "However, my feelings for Zhannasi are beyond your comprehension. ”
Boom! A huge shadow rose from behind the tall figure in front of him, obscuring the light of the campfire.
