Chapter Twenty-Three: The Rune Swordsman
"Bang!"
Roy jumped up violently, took a strange sword, and slashed at Generosis, and Geneross, naturally, took out the training knight-style dagger that had been prepared in the Void Ring for a long time.
What about Roy's sword?
A sword with only a hilt, and it looked like a flashlight that Blake had seen in Sainz, the royal city of Tesla. The blade of the sword is condensed in the form of thunder and lightning at the head of this "flashlight".
With a slash, Genosis blocked.
(What a strong attack power!) Genosis was a little surprised, after the knight's awakening ceremony, he learned that he was already a two-star trainee knight, and during this period of cultivation, Blake also broke through to the two-star, although he didn't break through, but it should not be too far from the three-star. According to Genosis, if Blake is 115 mana, he should be 129.
The Roy in front of him looks younger than the two, no matter how strong he is, he shouldn't be able to surpass Genosis, who has broken through the limit of talent. In addition, in terms of momentum and experience, Roy is not as good as Genosis who has worked hard during this time.
And what made Geneosis feel oppressive was the strange weapon in Roy's hand.
However, this lightning lightsaber seems to only appear when the blade is slashed, or rather, only after the slash is slashed, the "flashlight" will emit a lightning attack.
Because the blade of Genosis' weapon was made of wood, it made a strange thumping sound when it collided with the lightning lightsaber, not the sound of gold and iron colliding.
"Huh?!"
Roy was surprised: "It's actually wood." ”
Metal conducts electricity, and if it is a pure metal weapon, I am afraid that the palm of the hand will be numb at this moment.
Roy is not lazy, a sword fails, hurry up to replenish the knife, because this weapon will not send out a thunderbolt attack when not swinging, to put it bluntly, it is impossible to block and defend, so it cannot give the opponent a chance to counterattack, otherwise it is easy to fall into a disadvantage and lead to defeat.
This time, Generosis was a blind cat touching a dead mouse, and the wooden blade that could not have done any damage was now causing the opponent's attack to be ineffective.
However, at this time, Genosis had an absolute advantage in physical fitness. After just two casual parries, Genesis found that it was difficult for the opponent's attack to break through his own defense, so he began to counterattack. Hold the horse rejection step.
The advantage of rejecting the horse step is quite large, it does not need much space to stand firm, it can attack and retreat, but it cannot defend against attacks from the left and right sides, of course, in the narrow dormitory, there will be no attacks from the left and right sides.
Roy obviously hadn't practiced his footwork, but he was oppressed by Genesis in turn and began to stagger.
"Stop!"
Genosis sped up the speed of his sword and slammed into Roy's inside, but instead of stabbing his sword into his neck, he slapped the dagger on Roy's swordsman's forearm.
Roy, a pampered prince since he was a child, has no resistance to blows at all, just such a beat, a pain in his forearm, a loosening of his hand, the "flashlight" fell to the ground, and it was broken with a "snap".
"Ah?!——" Seeing that the lightning lightsaber was broken, Roy immediately squatted down, picked up the broken "flashlight", and looked aggrieved, and soon, tears oozed out of his eyes.
"Woo-"
Blake's face was full of embarrassment and distress: "Xiaojie, the teacher asked you to coax this guy to stop crying, you keep beating people, now it's okay, right? ”
"I don't care, I'll pay for them!" Roy crouched on the ground and cried.
Genosis looked at Roy with disgust: (How pampered is this...... Then he muttered, "Roy, do you know what we are?"
Roy was diverted from the subject and choked up: "What?"
In Blake's most common phrase: "I am a knight, but I am first and foremost a soldier." Men bleed without tears, what kind of man are you?"
"But...... But ......"
Genosis sighed in his heart, (Before, I have always hated why my parents could abandon me so ruthlessly, and now from my personal selfish point of view, sometimes family affection is really a burden, a burden, this kind of pampered guy, really can't compare with me.) Not to mention compared to me, not even Blake. )
In the past, Geneross had always been jealous of other children, they had their mother's protection, they could beat Geneross, and when Genesis counterattacked, they would call the family. It was also in this harsh environment that his mind quickly became strong.
However, according to Blake, Genosis was actually running away from the kindness of Father Paplov and Sister Louise.
Geneross threatened: "Don't cry, if you cry again, I'll beat you, then take off your clothes and throw you outside." ”
Frightened, Roy quickly sniffed and wiped his eyes.
Blake smiled wryly: (Does this count as school violence?)
Denosis was helpless and quickly changed the subject: "What is this weapon called, why can it launch such a strange attack?"
"Hmm...... This weapon, called the Rune Lightsaber, was invented by my father. By channeling the magic power in the spirit runes in the body, the magic power is transformed into a physical elemental attack. ”
Generosis and Blake were shocked: "What? You also have a spirit rune?"
"What's wrong......" Roy asked quietly, sniffling.
"Isn't the spirit rune unique to knights and wind attribute warriors?, however, you are emitting a thunder element, a thunder attribute attack!" Genesis thought incredulous.
"Ah, I don't know......"
"Ahem. At the door, a tired-looking Vertis returned. Veltis took over the topic: "This rune lightsager is a five-grade skill that simulates the knight of the trial: the blazing holy sword, which is a state-type skill, by burning light elemental magic, the magic power is condensed into a special energy sword, and these magic powers can also be covered on weapons, such as Blake's knight spear." However, it is generally condensed into a sword, covering the knight's spear, which is another skill, the Blazing Holy Spear. Although the mechanism of use is the same, it is better to have a base weapon covered than not to have a base weapon. ”
"And this sword hilt, where it is in the sword grid, there is a magic array, which is also inlaid with a thunder attribute magic beast's magic crystal, and through the transformation of the magic crystal and the magic array, it becomes a magic element blade. It is a simulation of the principle of the Blazing Holy Sword. ”
"Because your strength is too low to condense solid-state magic, this skill is currently unusable by Genosis and Black. ”
Then, Genosis asked, "I want to ask a question. Veltis waved his hand: "I know what you want to ask, you want to ask why he, a thunder-attribute person, actually has a spirit rune, right?"
Genossis nodded.
"That's because of the elemental affinity. ”
"It is true that the thunder element and the fire element, because they are easy to cause damage to the human body, it is difficult to compress them into mana reserves in the body, but if the elemental affinity is relatively high, high to a certain extent, then it can also condense the magic power like a knight and compress it into the spirit rune in the body. It's just that the requirements for elemental affinity are too high, and at least an affinity of more than eight stars is required to barely cause damage to oneself. ”
(Eight-star, doesn't seem to be high, does it?......) Blake listened with a puzzled expression.
Viltis had definitely guessed Blake's thoughts, and slapped Blake with a smile: "I said my apprentice, do you really think that people with affinity above eight stars are potatoes on the ground or something, and they can be picked up at will? Do you know your nine-star light element affinity, for now, the entire Angel Imperial Kingdom, no more than five." ”
This time Blake was really frightened, and said with a wry smile: "Is it so terrifying?"
Blake suddenly thought, "Can you make me a flashlight like this too, so that I can also try using the Blazing Sword?"
But Virtis said, "Flashlight?"
"That's right, like the lighting tools sold in the shops in Tesla Kingtown. "Blake is obsessed with Tesla's kingdom.
"Poof!" Veltis laughed as if he had eaten and swallowed: "No, I have tried before, if the light magic of our knights is transformed by such a rune lightsaber, it will really become the kind of lighting tool called a flashlight, and it will become a beam of light, and it cannot be used to cut people." ”
"Haha......" Even Genosis couldn't help but laugh.
The atmosphere became less oppressive, and seeing everyone laughing, Roy seemed to forget his sadness a little.
"As for why it's called a rune lightsaber...... That's because, this thing was originally named by me, and at the beginning, I racked my brains to get a good weapon for Roy, so I consulted a lot of magic books, and channeled the magic of the thunder attribute by imitating the method of our blazing holy sword, and transformed it. The full explanation of the name is: a weapon that simulates the Blazing Holy Sword through the use of runes. Abbreviation, Rune Lightsaber. ”
It dawned on Geneosis and Blake.
Genosis was strange in his heart: (No, he said that this thing was invented by his father, and Lord Vertis said that he invented it, who invented it?) And although Roy seems to be very familiar with Lord Vertis, but Vertis is called His Royal Highness, obviously it cannot be the father and emperor in Roy's mouth, and Roy is a thunder attribute, and Vertis is a light attribute, obviously the two are not father and son.) )
Roy suddenly asked, "Uncle, why do you seem to be dirty?" Don't you ......?"
Veltis nodded helplessly: "Yes, I went to settle accounts with your father, but he turned his face and didn't recognize anyone, and he fought with me, I was a little injured, but he didn't get better." ”
Roy's face became depressed again, and Geneross suddenly looked at Roy, who seemed to be about to cry, with a wicked smile, and said, "Uh-huh, you ......?"
Roy's face changed drastically, and he quickly stopped the idea of crying.
"This weapon was invented by me and his dad before, but, alas. Vertis looked at Roy with some disappointment.
Genosis frowned slightly, his pupils narrowed, as if he had seen that Vertis was lying.
"Since then, there has been a new class on our continent, called Rune Swordsman, and Roy is the first person to become a Rune Swordsman. ”
