Chapter 32: Sieg
With the strong wind blowing, Simon, who was rushing forward, showed a look of surprise on his face, and what he couldn't accept was that his swordsmanship was taken by Xiao Yi empty-handed. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info and after receiving the "Murder Sword Fury" with only one hand, she let go of the blade and took a few steps back, readjusting her state to meet Simon's next round of attacks.
"Let's go on! Master Murayu!"
"This ...... It's beyond my imagination, and it seems that this spirit can't make me perform a stunt......"
Simon put the blade of the long knife in front of his forehead and smiled: "It seems that it is impossible to win or lose in terms of strength, my moves can't hurt you at all, so let's compete whose 'skills' are better." ”
"Can you continue? Then you're welcome!!"
Hurried footsteps sounded, and Shoy quickly rushed to Simon's side and used his legs to kick Simon in succession, the high-speed whip leg knocked Simon back a little, and Shoy seized the opportunity to rush forward and kick Simon to the ground.
"Whew...... It's dangerous, and his leg skills are very strong!" he rolled to dodge Xiao Yi's sliding shovel kicks, bounced off the ground and took a few steps back to widen the distance, and swung a knife from the side of his hand, and the condensed sword qi advanced at high speed and grazed Xiao Yi's side, leaving some minor scars.
Enduring the piercing pain, Xiao Yi dodged more sword qi attacks left and right, and gradually approached Simon. At the same time, Simon stopped wielding the long knife, just held the knife horizontally above his head, and brushed his left palm at the blade until the tip of the blade, and the blade suddenly bloomed with a morning star-like light, although it did not have superior momentum, but unconsciously overshadowed the imposing murderous sword.
Before the knife could be swung, Simon's move shocked the two onlookers, staring at Xiao Yi and Simon's every move.
Xiao Yi in front of him was ready to take the move, and he swung his blade slightly, but it caused a harmony that was very different from the strong murderous aura. Although Xiao Yi, who was blown by the breeze, did not understand the meaning of this move, she did not mean to stop, and mustered up the courage to rush towards Simon not far away.
"Poof! ahem...... I'm tired of ...... I'm finally on the shore."
"It's clear that I'm tired...... The head of the regiment really stood and talked without backache......"
The midday sun was unusually bright, and it was the hottest time of the day in Gronia, and Shoey and her companions came ashore from the edge of the central island, the only difference was that they did not use the effect of the water breath carving, but returned to shore in other ways after about ten minutes of underwater travel.
Shaw picked up Simon's long knife from Nabal, who was tired and fell to the ground, and did not forget to pull it out of its scabbard in the sunlight, admiring the blade before putting it back, while Sieg, who was also physically exhausted, staggered past Shaw and asked casually.
"What to do with this knife? The armory is ruined, and it is impossible to dive down and return it to its original place. ”
"That guy entrusted it to me, plus his life that should have been dissipated long ago. Don't look at me like this...... I'm so sad right now~"
The Heroic Badge that hung around her neck was still glowing gold, and now that the azure Ocean Stone had been completely restored, it had taken the place of Sig's Breath Inscription to send the five people safely ashore on the way home, but it had no ripple effect to point out where the next Stone was.
Melva came behind Shoy and combed her short wet hair on Shoy's behalf, while asking, "I didn't expect the legendary Juggernaut to lose to you, this simple but meaningful battle is convenient for Sig and Nabal, who were not able to witness it?" ”
She took off the Hero Badge, looked at the Water Elemental Gem on the golden badge, and said, "Master Murayu's swordsmanship is too subtle, but he has no way to hurt people with powerful swordsmanship, so with this mentality, I rushed towards him through the breeze caused by the sword moves. ”
The story returns to the final battle of the Ancient Armory, when a roundhouse kick from Schoy's best effort misses, and Simon passes through her body like a ghost, calmly putting away the knife behind her. Judging from the simple move, Simon swung a knife that was not too big in an instant, but Xiao Yi did not feel even a trace of pain, and there were no scars on his body that were cut by the knife, which made her feel very puzzled, and turned to look at Simon's back not far away.
"What's going on, what just happened?" Xiao Yi was puzzled, and turned his gaze to Melva and Sophia, who were watching the battle, but both of them were confused, and shook their heads to indicate that they didn't know.
"My concern is not to kill my opponent with powerful swordsmanship to win, but to make my opponent understand that too much desire to win will only make judgment wrong, and bloodthirsty killing will only make moves chaotic. I seem to be a little too nagging......"
Simon, who closed his eyes and stared, smiled and explained the meaning of the kamikaze, while Xiao Yi felt a powerful kamikaze blowing out of his body, but it did not cause any harm to himself, nor did he have any aggression.
"I understand~ Thank you, Master Murayu! The real Sword Master is really amazing~"
She immediately bowed, and Simon also smiled and said, "For hundreds of years, it is rare to have such an opportunity, I think my mission has been accomplished, and it is time to hand over the last gem fragment to you!"
Simon's figure gradually became transparent in the afterglow of the firelight after the war, I believe that it will not be long before he will disappear from this world forever, Simon handed the knife in his hand to Xiao Yi at the moment before he was about to disappear, and said to her: "This knife is my last relic, please put it away, now it belongs to you~ The destiny has arrived, I should go......"
"Wait! I haven't asked you yet......"
Unfortunately, she was one step too late, and Simon disappeared completely after waving goodbye, and a blue beam of light appeared where he was standing, flying straight into the gem badge. The shattered stone in the groove had been fully recovered, but nothing else had happened, and just as Shoy and the others were puzzled by the fact that there had not been the same foreshadowing reaction as the previous two times, the ground inside the armory exploded, and a large amount of flames and the energy generated by the explosion appeared from the ground, and the five of them rushed out of the armory and jumped into the icy water at the last moment......
"Honestly, it was thanks to the magical power of the ocean's bounty that I was able to get out of danger this time, but it's a shame that I can't know the whereabouts of the next gem. ”
After listening to Shaw's account, the soaked clothes on everyone's bodies had been dried in the scorching sun, and at the same time, under the thunderous snoring of Nabar, several people began to discuss the location of the third sacred stone.
"I remember that Grandpa Duke and Sister Sia both talked about the resonance between the gems, but this time it didn't happen, is it because it was shattered before?" Although saved by the ability of the Blessing of the Sea, Shaw did complain a little, because because of its appearance, now the Wings of Freedom have completely lost their purpose.
"It shouldn't have anything to do with it, anyway, let's go back to the palace first?" Sophia waved at the knights who were guarding not far away, and the walls were opened, and several knights came to them with five fierce hunting horses, and handed them to Sophia.
Sieg and Shoy nodded, and they woke Nabal, and the group mounted their horses and spurred, and in the blink of an eye rushed through the entrance to the wall, and followed the path of the Knights' headquarters into the woods, and headed for the central palace......
A quarter of an hour later, in the back garden of the palace, because she was not accustomed to the luxurious environment, Shoy refused the invitation to the banquet in Andorra, explained her next plan to her friends, and went to a fruit tree in the back garden for an afternoon nap......
She enjoyed the comfort, her ears filled with the sound of birdsong and the sound of musical instruments from the palace behind her, but she noticed the footsteps of someone nearby, coming towards her place.
"Whew...... Who is it!I can't sleep well......" Shaw grumbled as he sat up from the grass and brushed his unkempt hair, only to find that it was Atros who was walking towards him, and his rare cold expression was unsettling.
"It's me, Atros. An indifferent voice came.
"It's you...... What are you doing with me?" she replied angrily.
"You've got the second gem, right? Congratulations, and then I need to tell you......"
With a flash of sword light, the sharp blade of the Wind Gallop Sword cut off the lanyard of the gemstone badge hanging from Xiao Yi's chest, and the badge spun and flew into the air, and the astute Xiao Yi immediately bounced off the ground, but the large arc of the heavy kick that turned around was blocked by Atros, and the two of them took a few steps back at the same time, and the badge also landed on the grass between the two......
"Why did you attack me, did you want to snatch this badge?" Xiao Yi asked angrily, as he pulled out the long knife of Murayu that he happened to carry with him, and confronted Atros with a katana of his own height.
A smile finally appeared on Atros's cold face, and after he confirmed the location of the hero badge, he calmly waved the stabbing sword with his left hand, the tip of the sword slashed in a circular trajectory in the air, and Xiao Yi, who was staring at Atros' movements, suddenly found that she had lost her ability to move, and she was completely unable to move with the long knife in her hand, as if she was bound by some mysterious power.
"After all, you're Keblake's apprentice, so I had to use some moves that weren't very open-minded...... Don't think it's just hypnotism, accept this type of Waning Moon Sword!" Although Atros used the movement of the blade to perform hypnotism in advance, the 'Waning Moon Sword' itself was a profound sword technique as vague as the lingering light under the shadow of the moon......
“...... Huh?"
A strong murderous aura struck, interrupting Atros's finishing attack, and the fang-like blade was embedded in the position where Atros was standing, and at this time, Atros had already jumped into the air, looking around at the figure of Sig who was using the wolf, but unexpectedly, Sig also appeared in the air, approaching him at high speed and kicking it out of the air with both feet, and in the fall, he hurriedly stabilized his body and landed on the grass, wiping the footprints left by the attack behind him, and at the same time bent down to pick up the hero badge at his feet and put it into the strap on his chest.
"Hmph, what a legendary knight of this generation! I really misunderstood you! Actually sneaked up on our regimental commander in private!" In the blink of an eye, Sig also fell back to the grass, pulled the wolf from the ground, and faced it with a sword in both hands.
"So what? Wait until you can defeat ten of the two knights!" Atros defiantly said.
"Your strength is indeed above mine, and I know that I have no chance of winning if I fight with all my might...... But...... But you take action against the regimental commander! I have to stop it, and today I will defeat you hypocrite!"
As soon as the words fell, Sig had already rushed in front of Atros in an instant, and slashed at Atros's leg with a horizontal swing, and the other party swung his stabbing sword downward, blocking the fast sword, and kicked Sig away.
"This isn't like what the deputy head of the regiment should look like! Miss Ben is very angry now, so let's use this tasteless uncle as a punching bag!"
A spear kick hit Atros' wrist, which he blocked to be exact, but Shoey's high-speed, powerful kick shook Atros back a few steps, and she struck a spinning kick into Atros's side knee with a long knife slash, and Sieg grabbed him from behind him as he lost his balance, and threw Atros to the canvas with an over-the-shoulder throw.
The powerful wrestling was not the end, Sieg kicked hard at the fallen Atros, although he blocked the kick, but Atros still rolled on the grass for several meters before stopping, he quickly got up to wipe the dust off his body, and raised the wind gallop sword again to face the pair in front of him.
"I see...... I didn't expect you guys to cooperate very well! It looks like the battle is going to end early!"
The words that Atros said calmly naturally had his weight, and he raised his slashing sword sideways and approached Xiao Yi and Sieg step by step. Under the pressure brought to them by Atros, Xiao Yi and Sieg shot at the same time, and the wolf and Murayu slashed at Atros's shoulders at the same time, and the moment before the double knife hit, Atros also struck.
"It's too slow...... I'll tell you what it means to be really fast!"
In just a few seconds, Atros's fast sword blocked the attack of the two, and at the same time, the high-speed slash knocked down the weapons in their hands, and the sword move like a storm forced the two to retreat under a fruit tree, and he slashed the sword in a smile to knock them down at the same time, and then said to them: "This is just a skin wound, I believe it will be fine in a short time." If you want to get your Hero Badge back, then come to the Hunter's Guild to find me!ahahahahahaha!~"
"Maniac...... This guy is a madman!!woooooo......oo
In addition to being extremely angry, Xiao Yi, who was wounded by a sword in his right shoulder, even felt a trace of sadness, and the tears in his eyes couldn't stop flowing. After a few minutes, Xiao Yi stopped sobbing, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said confidently.
"Damn Atros, Miss Ben will take the Hero Badge back!Sieg! Come with me to the so-called Hunters' Guild! Get out this hypocrite with a knife in his smile!!"
