Chapter 313: Showdown (Part II)

The barbarians were tall and strong, generally over 8 feet tall and weighing no less than 250 kilograms, their muscles as tough as rocks, their bones as hard as iron, and their powerful physique gave them extraordinary strength and endurance. An adult savage can single-handedly overturn a multi-ton wagon, or pull a fully loaded wagon for hundreds of kilometers.

In terms of strength and physique, only ogres can match barbarians among humanoid monsters. The difference is that ogres are dull and lazy, their intelligence and fighting skills are rooted in their blood, awakening as their ferocity deepens. Barbarians, however, have a passion for battle, honing their bodies and minds, and are skilled and brave in battle.

At this moment, Harald showed the strength and skill of the barbarians to the fullest. The old barbarian swung a black arc of light at the pinnacle knight who was waiting for him, his thick arms bulging high with hidden power, and the battle axe let out a sharp cry in his hand like a raging storm of steel.

No one believed that such wild agility and ferocious strength could come from an aging barbarian, but everyone believed that the deadly attack was enough to shatter shields, armor, and pierce the knight's flesh, entrails, and bones.

Yes, it's a breakdown, not a cut.

However, the opponent of the old barbarian is not an extraordinary man, he is the pinnacle of knights, the knight of the pinnacle.

The knights are undoubtedly the darlings of heaven and earth, and every time they resonate with an elemental position, their physique, strength, agility, perception, and spirit have been greatly improved, and the strength and speed of the beginner knights are at least five times that of elite soldiers, and their bodies and hearts are perfectly matched, regardless of each other. At the Silver Level, the knights meet inside and outside, and the Void Element gradually changes their life form, not only getting rid of the troubles of aging and disease, but also its basic attributes are more than twice that of ordinary knights, and the embodiment of the Void Element makes their armor indestructible, making their weapons unstoppable, and the ability corresponding to the four elements will also increase exponentially. The Golden Knight resonates with 36 elemental slots, and their ability is three times that of ordinary knights, and they control the Void Elemental as easily as breathing. Communicating with the Elemental Sea, the Golden Knights have reached the realm of the unity of heaven and man, and as long as their bodies can withstand it, their power will never end.

Everything in the world is made of elements, and all the changes of the elements are invisible in front of the golden knight, which is the ability of the peak knight to stand out from the crowd.

The old barbarian's slashing was sharp and fierce, simple and spicy, and as powerful as a mountain torrent. However, in this huge attack, Duke Peter clearly sensed the size of the opponent's strength, the change in speed, the angle of attack, and even the muscle pull under the skin, as well as the seven subtle power gaps.

Beginner knights don't have such a power gap, and the gap is a flaw.

Duke Peter had a number of ways to take advantage of these flaws and quickly defeat his opponents, but he opted for the most imposing head-on.

Barbarians worship power, and head-on wrestling can undoubtedly gain the respect of the tribes on the mountain. Who has the Earth Knight been afraid of? Duke Peter can even be on an equal footing with the Ogre Overseers who have awakened their bloodline memories.

The shield that haunted the Void Earth elemental was raised high, and Duke Peter had foreseen the change in the battle: the axe and shield collided with each other, and the force that burst out was just enough to interrupt Harald's continuous force, he would stumble back half a step, and he raised his shield to slam into his abdomen, the Mithril longsword was attached to his left axe, and as soon as he twisted it, the axe would be taken off, and then hand-to-hand combat would follow, preventing the old barbarian from taking advantage of his reach, so that he could not fully exert his strength.

Within five steps, let the barbarian elders lose convincingly!

"Bang!"

The sound of the clash of shields and axes resounded throughout the audience, and the air flow overflowed like swords, and Duke Peter steadily caught the terrifying straight slash, but the old barbarian did not retreat as expected, but swung his left axe with a sharper and heavier attitude. Duke Peter was not stunned, but with a twist of his shield he blocked the second blow, and took a big step back to remove the force from it.

When Duke Peter caught the first axe, he found that Harald's power gap had changed from 7 to 6, but his strength had increased by 20%, and his speed had increased by 10%, and when he caught the second axe, his strength and speed increased again, and there were only 5 power gaps left. If he blocks 7 attacks consistently, Harald's strength will increase by 140% and his attack speed will increase by 70%, and his attacks will become flawless.

The so-called flaw is actually an incredible borrowing technique. Harald used the strength of his opponent to improve his combat effectiveness, and for this, he stubbornly endured Peter's 80% strength. Only the physique of a barbarian can use this unreasonable technique, and if it is a peak knight, he is already injured and vomiting blood at this time.

If you can't catch it, you will die, and if you catch it, the opponent will become stronger!

Duke Peter didn't want to be just head-on anymore, and if he attacked hard, he had no second possibility but to be crushed. But he also knew that there was a time limit for this ascension, and that as long as he lasted 15 breaths, Harald's attack would definitely wane.

The yellow air flow suddenly expanded, enveloping Harald as well. The Void Earth Element itself is a force field that not only delays the opponent's movements, but also allows the Knight to become one with the Earth, obtaining a temporary levitation effect, and even if he is in the Void, he can move left and right, becoming extremely flexible. Of course, this method will accelerate the consumption of fighting energy, and it also means that Duke Peter has taken out the strength that a golden knight should have, and he no longer has reservations.

Support for half an hour, and you can gain the approval of the barbarian elders.

However, in the eyes of others, Duke Peter was completely suppressed. Harald's battle axe pulled out a black arc of light like lightning, always hovering around him, the yellow air flow was stirred up, and then reorganized, Duke Peter always dodged the barbarian attack at the moment without delay, as if he was not careful, he would be killed on the spot.

Marquis Greto kept wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, and Raymond, the son of the Duke, couldn't help but tremble to Andrei: "My lord!"

Andre glanced at Raymond, who was pale, and said in a deep voice: "Sword!"

A great knight immediately threw out a Mithril greatsword, and Andre grabbed the hilt, flicked the blade, and said lightly: "Double Swing Fury...... Sophia, Elder Harald isn't just a master weapon, is he?" his expression was solemn, and his gentle tone was tinged with fierceness.

"It's your mistake not to know the barbarians!" Sophia ignored the Golden Knight's questioning, and the Marquis of Gretto sneered at the deathly gray Marquis on the other side, "Do you think that by separating me from the three Urusa you can force me to be a barbarian? Harald is not a barbarian when he is old? The Barbarian Elder has always been the strongest of the Barbarians! Harald is a master of weapons, a berserker, and a war chanter. He had slain the old terrain dragon alone, he was not Urusa, he was the Gorsa of the Barbarians! ”

Dragons have long since perished in history, but their bloodlines live on. Any creature with a dragon in its name is not easy to mess with, such as a dragon lizard. Terrain dragons are by no means the goods of dragons and lizards, as the closest beasts to dragons, their strength and intelligence grow with age. Every adult terrain dragon is a gold-tier monster. Harald's ability to slay the Elder Terrain Dragon shows that he has stepped into the realm of legends.

Humanity knows very little about the barbarians of Mount Arret, and even less about the barbarians of the legendary realm. If you make a horizontal comparison, you can only refer to the Legendary Tier Ogre.

The most famous legendary ogre in history is Vulcan, the "City Breaker"!

Thinking of a legendary barbarian stepping into the heart of the kingdom, Duke Peter is fighting against him. The Marquis of Greto's legs were weak and sat directly on the ground, and a great knight simply turned around and swept down the mountain, presumably to greet the arranged.

"yes. How can you possibly subdue more than three hundred barbarians? Only Lord Harald can bring three Urusha into submission. AndrΓ© shook his head in annoyance, and added, "Sophia, can you ask Lord Harald to stop......? You're all going to die!"

"You think I'm afraid of death, Andrey, you can kill me first, and then try Harald's axe. But I'm not going to sit still!"

Sophia drew her Mithril sword and pointed it at Andre, a green glow that enveloped her body like rippling water. The sonorous between her eyebrows washed away the lazy charm of the past, and restored her true face as a wild knight, even the confrontation between Duke Peter and the barbarian elders could not take away the proud and unyielding light.

Andre's cold eyes showed a look of surprise and appreciation, he saluted elegantly, and said softly: "Sophia, I just want to solve the problem." ”

Sophia looked back at Natalia beside her, finally lowered the tip of her sword, shook her head, and said, "I can't stop this duel." This is a test of blood that only those who have been approved by the barbarians are qualified to accept. I was once tested by blood, hunting a snow monster alone in the Arrett Mountains, and I almost died. ”

"The barbarians are heavy and can't swim, and they cross the river to entrust me with their lives. Now, if you want to leave me, you must win the trust of the barbarians. For them, life can only be entrusted to the strong, because the strong do not need to play tricks against the barbarians. ”

"Harald doesn't mind you cutting off his head, and the barbarians won't deny it. But I don't recommend you all going together. Sophia paused and said, "If it was a Urusha here, there would be no half-quarter of an hour's agreement, it would be a battle that would never end to the death." ”

"You mean Lord Harald will keep his hand?" asked Andrew.

"Spare your hand?" said Sophia, bowing her jaw, "Elder Harald does keep his hand, but he will not show mercy. If he does not exert all his strength, he will definitely use his strength to surpass Duke Peter. Otherwise, what kind of blood test is it?"

"Life and death trial......" Andre finished speaking, and the atmosphere suddenly became dull and depressing.

"Lord Sophia, may I ask a question?" asked Raymond Peter as he stepped forward and respectfully asked. Sophia looked at the delicate young man and couldn't help but think of Victor, so she couldn't help but smile and said, "Little guy, what do you want to ask?" Taken by Sophia's bright light, Raymond was stunned for a moment, and quickly gathered his mind and said: "You are a knight, not a barbarian." ”

"So what?" Sophia raised an eyebrow.

"You are a knight and will not sit idly by while powerful barbarians disrupt the order of the human kingdom. I guess you must have the means to restrain them!"

"What a clever little fellow. Sophia sighed, and Andre gave Raymond an appreciative look.

"The Great Elder of the Barbarians has promised me that these Barbarians will never take the initiative to harm humans. Otherwise...... I really didn't dare to bring them out. ”

"If Duke Peter can't hold on, give up his sword and admit defeat!"

"It's too early to throw up the sword!" Duke Peter laughed, and the Mithril sword staggered and slashed, two rounds of orange crescents appeared out of thin air, and the Golden Knight's first counterattack forced the opponent back. Harald threw away his left axe, grasped the only battle axe in both hands, and slammed the Void Earth elemental apart, and the battle axe slashed down like thunder. Andre's eyes froze, and in his perception, the strength of the barbarian elder suddenly doubled, and at the same time, he had a strong elemental resistance, and it was obvious that he had used another secret technique to deal with Duke Peter's counterattack.

The strength reached such an extent that the shield would only get in the way, and Duke Peter decisively threw away the shield in exchange for greater flexibility. But the barbarians were no less fast than him, and with the light of the axe, Duke Peter's situation became precarious.

For the first time since AndrΓ© reached the top, he felt a dilemma, he wanted to cut into the battlefield, but he was worried that the barbarian elder would strike again and kill Peter on the spot. If he hadn't intervened, Peter probably wouldn't have even had a chance to abandon his sword. Just as he hesitated, a majestic voice sounded in midair.

"The Lord says, Knights should be sheltered!"

White-gold runes were generated in the void, condensed into a pair of white-gold wings and landed on Duke Peter's back, and a holy aura arose.

Divine Protection, a fifth-level divine skill specially tailored for knights. Duke Peter's armor shone with a white-gold glow, his defense was strong enough to withstand the legendary barbarian's frontal damage, his control of the elements became more coordinated, his various attributes were significantly improved, and he had the ability to heal himself. The most important thing is that the long-brewing transcendent swordsmanship can finally be used.

The extraordinary sword technique is so powerful that once it is used, there is no room for maneuver. Duke Peter hated uncontrolled forces very much, and he didn't want to kill the barbarian elders, if he couldn't even kill his opponent with extraordinary sword skills, then he himself would definitely die.

Divine Asylum allows Peter to easily adjust the power of his extraordinary skills, and although it is only a short 30 seconds, he is a legendary knight during this time.

The long sword drew a surging force, and the yellow sword light drawn out was like substance, not to cut, but to repel it.

The moment the sword light touched his body, Harald's eyes lit up with a green light, and his knotted muscles were covered with green tendons, as if a giant beast was awakening in his body. His chest heaved, and an ancient, vast cry came out of his throat. To the ears of others, the cry was like thunder in the sky, but Duke Peter felt that a huge wave had been slapped in his chest.

In the midst of the shout, the sword light pushed by the extraordinary sword technique actually dissipated.

Duke Peter decisively abandoned his sword, raised his hand and said, "I admit defeat." Harald glared at him fiercely, with a constipated expression on his face, "It was a little interesting just now!" and as he spoke, an axe slammed into the ground, and a deep crack immediately crept out of the ground under the axe.

Although he failed to pass the test of the barbarians, Duke Peter was not disappointed. Andrei said with a complicated expression: "Master Peter, congratulations. I'm afraid you'll soon be able to comprehend the second transcendent sword technique. ”

"Not everyone has the opportunity to play against the legendary barbarian. Duke Peter shook his head with joy and said with a smirk: "I almost died." ”

Secretly relieved, Sophia turned her gaze to the old priest who had just reached the top of the mountain and the group of high-ranking paladins, and mocked: "Archbishop Oleg, you are really timely!"
