Chapter 200: Three Rounds
It turned out that Meier used the control secret technique to spin his body at high speed, and swooped down with the "Dark Dragon Flame" as an arrow, using his stunt "Death Scream"!
The terrifying sound of air currents echoed in the air above the ring, and Willy was still fearless in the face of this almost unstoppable force, and he roared wildly and used his special move "Torrent Break", and Changyue slammed into the black and purple tornado that hit the attack, erupting with an earth-shattering sound. The air wave even made the spectators in the front stands breathless.
In the end, the dust settled, and everyone found that the stone slabs of the magic guide material that the Seven Towers Magic Academy was proud of were all broken, but Myer and Willy's weapons were still fighting, and no one could help anyone. Meier stood on a shattered bluestone slab, but the body of the forest district president had already left the ring. Two deep drag marks can be clearly seen under his feet.
"The game is over! Myer wins!" At this time, the referee's voice sounded, announcing that "Karakuri Mercenary" had entered the round of thirty-two, and Willy suffered the first defeat in his life and was eliminated!
"It's a win, concede!" Meyer put away his weapon and reached out to make friendly gestures to Willy, but was refused.
"Hmph, I didn't lose, but your top-down inertia pushed me away!"
"Hehe, it's a pity that the rules are set like this. β
"I will definitely take revenge the next time we meet. β
Willie left the arena in hatred.
"Hehe, Brother Meier and Ben didn't expect to crack the opponent's tricks, they just used their explosive combat power far beyond the opponent to eat, but they were finally lucky, and the trick was strong enough for him to win. "Makminus sees Meyer's problems very clearly.
"Well, Brother Meier's skills are very good, but he is helpless when he encounters an equally skilled opponent, which reminds me of the Duke of New Mark, who are both wise and brave people, but they don't know how to be flexible. I wonder if they're just one person?" Miss Lola had a strange thought.
"Haha, that's impossible! Because I've seen them all at the same time. β
"Hehe, then they look like each other, but the crowd seems to be happy, and they sometimes like to watch this kind of hard-to-head game. β
"That's right, it's just that Brother Meier's battle is so seriously consumed, and the next game is not easy to deal with!"
And the female official Don Loni in the middle of the ordinary audience was also very worried.
"Yulia, isn't Your Excellency too tired now? β
"Don't worry, Countess, for 100,000 gold coins, my brother will burst out with amazing combat power, I have seen him get stronger and stronger many times!"
The down-and-out knight von Loklein, who was watching the whole battle of Meyer, looked very happy, and he whispered: "Dear old friend of Salian, there are still a few masters waiting for you in the next few rounds, so let's experience it, hehe." β
The match between Meyer and Willy was the last of the second round, and the organizers started the third round immediately after their match for the sake of the overall process of the tournament.
"The remaining 32 players are all elites from all over the world! β
"Ahh
"Oops, I invested money to see that Meier will definitely be able to enter the semi-finals of the first half of the region, according to this situation, it is dangerous now, hurry up and buy his opponent and hedge!"
With the crowd cheering, Meier didn't have time to rest before he stepped into the restored ring again to start the third round. This time his opponent was a thin girl, delicate in appearance, dressed in some kind of leather armor made of the skin of a beast, with a short sword hanging from her waist, a short bow on her back, and a hunting hat on her head, and a beautiful black swan feather. According to the referee, her name is Alessandra Kulidel, and she is from Lienz, a small town in the southern part of the Grand Duchy of Altenburg, at the foot of the Guertal Mountains.
"Huhu, I'm familiar with Big Brother Meier's opponent in this round, because she is the one recommended by my Grand Duchy of Altenburg. β
"Haha, then this girl must be very strong, right?! β
"Yes, she is the best huntress in the entire southern mountains, guarding the mountainous border of about thirty kilometers between our Grand Duchy of Aldenburg and several small orc and blood nations in the southeast, and this time, in order for her to compete, my father even sent Count von Ryderhoff, the head of the Praetorian Guard, to lead a special operations team to temporarily take over her mission. β
"I can't see that such a thin girl is so strong. β
"Yes, she is the most powerful of the mountain people born and raised in the southern mountains, known as the "Mountain Forest Falcon", with terrifying instinctive fighting skills in her blood, although she has not been systematically trained, but her strength is stronger than that of ordinary sword masters. Her father put a lot of thought into co-opting her. β
"Gee, I can't wait to see her fight with Big Brother!"
While Lola and Max were talking, the huntress Alexandra Cullidell had begun to move quickly around the tired Meier, shooting featherless arrows at him.
"Little girl, your arrows can shoot so accurately without an aerodynamic kit, they must be an elemental, right?" Myer dodged the attack with the shortest distance he could dodge in order to regain his strength.
"Those unruly magicians can't grasp the power of this world's origin!
Alessandra, the Daughter of Nature, made a pact with the Wind Elves, the primordial elemental beings of the main material plane, and in fact the tailless arrows she shot were all held by the Wind Elves, and were dodged by Meier without falling to the ground or flying out of the ring. By the time Meyer noticed something was wrong, it was too late.
The featherless arrows around Meier were all shooting at him at the same time at a very fast speed, and Alexandra also jumped up, drew her short sword with her back to the sunlight and stabbed straight down. The Huntress knew that her entire suffocating barrage of attacks would overwhelm her opponents.
At the same time, the audience also exclaimed, wondering whether it was the Huntress's wonderful performance that moved them, or whether they were worried about the "Karakuri mercenaries" on the playing field, or because their gambling money was lost. This little-known girl now has an absolute advantage in everyone's eyes.
"Hehe, I didn't expect to be able to defeat a famous horror knight so easily, His Highness Max also said that you are the favorite to win the championship, but that's it!" Alexandra's short sword was already on Myer's throat at this time, and the other featherless arrows were all aimed at the vital point.
"Oh, I see. You are from Aldenburg, so naturally you are the chosen one of Max's younger brothers. It's a shame you made some mistakes!"
The girl said nonchalantly, "How is it possible, you have already lost!"
Suddenly, seeing Meier in front of her smile slightly, Alexandra felt a terrible chill hit her back! She turned around and saw that the purple beam of the Imperial two-handed sword was slashing towards her waist. She had to quickly bend down to dodge the attack, but her advantage was instantly gone, and she lost control of the wind elves.
It turned out to be a simulated mirror image in the horror mystery, a stunt that Meier hadn't shown for a long time. The clone created by using the Hohenstlingen family's unique control secret technique can also have all the strength of the body, so even the "mountain falcon" is blind.
The battle situation was so strange that it was reversed in an instant, and Alessandra, who had previously had the upper hand, was almost pushed to the edge of the cliff by the ferocious attacks of two terrifying knights who used the "Wrath of the Dragon".
"Surrender, girl, your technique and speed are good, and you have some weird abilities. But when the scouts are enough, it is not enough to confront me head-on. β
According to Meier's observations, the previous opponent, Willy Schaefer, can be said to be the embodiment of the perfect balance of strength, skill and speed. Compared to him, Alessandra Cullidel is now facing him with faster speed, not much difference in technique, and weaker strength. Meyer has been through a hundred battles and has a lot of experience in battle.
"Well, I'm really a bit capable! Ordinary means really can't deal with you. But the one who will surrender will only be you. β
The cornered huntress was not flustered, and Myer found that she was getting faster and faster, and was able to dodge the blows of her two Beam Empire two-handed swords.
You must know that there is a limit to the speed of human movement, and Mayer's sword skills that have been scientifically trained for more than ten years have almost reached the peak. This was true of him, Count Baz de Castelmo of FranΓ§os, Willy Schaefer of the fit, Juan the sword fighter of Castile, or Julonius von Larsenberg, a great disciple of Mayer. They are both able to increase their strength in battle, but their speed is unlikely to increase dramatically. This is because when controlling the retraction and release of muscles to perform precise sword skills, it needs to rely on the electrical impulse signals sent by the nerve centers of the brain, and it is impossible for humans to skip this point anyway.
The girl in front of her just swung her body from side to side to dodge Meier's intricate dual sword skills, and her feet never moved. And it doesn't look like there's some kind of rule to the body.
"Max, Big Meyer has pushed the Huntress into the corner of the ring and looks like he's about to win. Why is it suddenly a little soft, do you fall in love with this girl?"
"Haha, I don't think it's possible, Big Brother Meyer and Duke New Mark and these people in the southwest like busty girls, Alexandra is too skinny, it's von Ridlingen's imperial count's dish. β
"Hehe, what about your preferences?"
"Oh, I didn't think about it at all! Oh, I think Big Brother Meier should have a tricky problem, because I, a huntress, can rely on instinct to avoid danger, and I don't need to go through brain analysis, which has a great advantage over any fixed routine martial arts. β
"Oh, I see, it's just that the speed at which the body produces its natural stress reflex is definitely faster than the speed at which the brain directs the muscles. β
"Yes, exactly. You're so smart, dear Lola. β
While the two most distinguished audience members were discussing the relationship amicably, Meyer was not at all happy. The thin girl in front of her, full of wildness, can always dodge his killing moves in the slightest.
Meier knew that if he continued like this, his physical strength would be depleted first, and it was still double the consumption now. As a last resort, the experienced mercenary stopped his weapon and used the control-type horror secret technique to attack, in a vain attempt to imprison the opponent.
"Hoo-hoo, there was once a man named Count von Ryderhof who wanted to be my master, and I drove him away, and he would use this trick as well. β
"Hehe, what do you think of how you compare to him?"
The girl's words reminded Meyer of his first encounter with Max and his unhappy relationship with Count von Ryderhoff, one of Mayer's least favorite nobles in the Divine Grace Empire, just like Ulrich's fool.
"You're just an extra clone, more or less the same in my eyes!"
