Chapter 187: Fire and Wind
Judy didn't react to the half-elf's teasing, she still sat quietly on top of the dragon, holding the hilt of her sword, staring coldly at the man in front of her, like a stone man without the slightest emotion. However, the other party was clearly not discouraged by Judy's ignorance, and Karan touched his nose before chuckling softly again.
"You want to keep me?"
“.....................”
Judy didn't speak, she just stared at the man in front of her quietly, neither happy nor sad.
"It's a shame. ”
Seeing that Judy didn't react in the slightest, the half-elf reached out and pressed his forehead, quite sorry, and let out a long sigh.
"It seems that you don't seem to be planning to communicate with me, Miss, and it's a little too late today...... So, we'll see you later......"
As he spoke, he waved his hand.
This was just an ordinary gesture of waving goodbye, but at the moment when the half-elf raised his hand, he and the cavalry figures around him suddenly became illusory and dim. It was as if it was just a cloud and mist, but now it was blown away by the strong wind.
"Humph!!"
And only then did Judy snort coldly, and then, she pulled the reins in her hand hard!
“―――――!!!”
The dragon groaned.
A fiery red circle immediately spread around Judy, and the originally cold air became extremely hot at this moment, and the originally dark earth began to reflect bright red colors at this time. And those rocky floors that were once extremely hard have now become sunken like soft mud. And the corpses of those orc mercenaries who had fallen to the ground and had died, began to burn, and in the blink of an eye, they completely turned into ashes!
"Boom!!"
When the red circle of light swept by, suddenly there was a strong and piercing grinding sound in the flat ground, and then, the azure blue aura rose into the sky, blocking the domineering spread of the red halo. In the air, which had become somewhat distorted by the heat, the figure that had disappeared reappeared. And this time, the half-elf's face was finally no longer as calm as before, and he stared at the red-haired girl in mid-air, clenching his teeth. And behind him, the cavalry could no longer take half a step back.
"Won't hide the power of the soul, or even adjust the power of the aura?"
And it was only then that Judy finally spoke, her voice just as cold, but full of a top-down, utter contempt. And at this moment, the half-elf was also surprised and surprised, you know, the method he used before was not an ordinary way. This power came from his aura of talent, and he thought he could easily withdraw from it. But what Kahlan didn't expect was that this dragon knight actually had the same aura of talent? Divine grace was above, how could this be? If she was really a gifted knight, then why couldn't she sense her soul power?
Originally, for Karan, it was just a relaxing evening, a walk after dinner, but he didn't expect to meet an existence equal to himself here. The Kingdom of West actually has a gifted knight?Why didn't the Empire get any information?This is not right!?
Just as Kahlan was surprised and confused, and at the same time pondered what to do, Judy spoke again.
"It seems that the so-called Heavenly Damnation General is nothing more than that, let's go back and re-practice the basic skills, rookie. ”
This is **naked contempt, but also **naked disdain.
Hearing this, the half-elf's eyes finally narrowed, and a trace of killing intent appeared for the first time.
"Cheap woman, how dare you look down on me? No woman dares to look down on me! No woman can do it!!"
Kahlan let out a roar, then flipped his wrist and drew his rapier from his waist, pointing it straight at Judy.
"I'll make you regret it, sow!"
Then, he said viciously. And as his words fell, the wind howled. And at this moment, suddenly a black shadow swung towards the man in front of him like a poisonous snake. This surprised Kah-Roll, who subconsciously flashed the pitch-black whip before he had time to look in the direction of the attack. At this moment, Ofariel slowly walked out of the blazing dragon flames, his face sinking like water.
The wind moved.
Yulian stood at the window, watching the confrontation between red and blue in the distance, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Master, Miss Judy seems to be fighting with the other party. ”
Charlotte stood quietly behind him and made a report very calmly.
"Shall we send reinforcements?"
"No, you don't. ”
Yuren shrugged his shoulders and quickly replied.
"There is nothing to fear about the gifted knights of this era, and their understanding and mastery of their soul abilities is still at a very rudimentary stage. Judy, on the other hand, has been studying this area for hundreds of years, and when it comes to the combat experience and skills of gifted knights, even I am inferior to her, and these little guys who have just crossed the threshold are naturally even less worth seeing. ”
Saying this, Yulian turned his head, as if he had lost the slightest interest in the battle outside. It's no wonder that many of their skills have been lost as the talented knights have gradually declined and disappeared. Just like these four gifted knights of the Sith Empire, although they do have the power of gifted knights and the representative surname symbol, this does not mean that they can master the skills of gifted knights. High-end techniques such as soul concealment, aura control, power amplification, and will reflex are not yet being learned by these talented knights. They rely more on their instincts to accumulate combat experience and skills. And because of the strength of the gifted knights over the surname, they did not pursue this complex combat method too much.
However, in Yulian and their opinion, these gifted knights were undoubtedly still very rudimentary, which was why they could sense the presence of these gifted knights, but these gifted knights could not feel their soul power. These advanced techniques were not necessarily used in combat, but for the gifted knights born in that era, they were as common as drinking and eating. Otherwise, if a team of talented knights goes to sneak attack the other party, and the person is not yet there, others will feel their aura, so what is the difference between this mission and failure?
If it's the aura of the law system, Yu Lian might be a little more concerned. But right now, the other party is obviously casting an elemental aura, so there is no need to care so much. Unlike the cheating stuff of the law system, the talent aura of the elemental system has very high requirements for the skill of the wielder, which is why Judy has such superb combat skills.
"Charlotte, bring me a cup of black tea, don't put sugar. ”
"Yes, master. ”
The night sky, which was originally dark and quiet, has long been shattered at this moment. The red and blue auras intertwined, and the ubiquitous red flames were surging and rushing, intertwined with the winds that rose from the ground, becoming more and more unbearable. The two figures swept across the sky, merging and parting.
"Ding!!"
With the crisp sound of weapon communication, the light of friction burst out of the darkness, Kahlan shouted angrily, and swung the thin sword in his hand vigorously, only to see an invisible storm instantly fly out from above, but just when they were about to hit Judy, the girl's body also burst out of burning flames at the same time, the air became drier and drier, and the storm that originally swept over also seemed to be affected by the obstacle of this flame, and lost its original effect, and in the end, they no longer had any effect except for blowing the fire on the girl's body.
"But that's it. ”
Judy snorted, and then her left hand was raised, and the long sword in her hand slashed down in a cold light. And the flames on it also burst out, rushing towards the enemy in front of them.
In the face of Judy's attack, Kahlan gritted his teeth and stepped back. He had to do this, and if it was a knight, then Kahlan naturally didn't have to pay attention to it. His natural surname is Wind, which is why he was named "The Windbringer". For Kahran, the battle he had expected was not as difficult as it was now. He originally thought that even if he encountered those dragon knights, he would have the strength to fight. After all, although the dragon is very powerful, as long as he opens his talent aura, within the range of the aura, he can turn into the wind and act at will, and naturally he will not be afraid of the threat of the other party.
But he didn't expect that he would actually meet a talented knight.
The battle between the gifted knights is very dangerous, after all, since both sides have talent aura, it is impossible for such a thing to happen who surrounds whom. Therefore, once they meet the same opponent, then the talented knights have to abandon the "my domain, my decision" style of fighting, and start to engage in that head-to-head posture. For Kahlan, the loss of his proudest mobile surname was naturally a blow to him.
Moreover, what made Kahlan even more depressed was that the other party's surname was still a fire surname.
Wind and fire have always multiplied each other, and the so-called wind fuels fire. If Judy wasn't a gifted knight, then Kahlan could use his own powers to blow out the flames. However, as a knight with the same talent, Judy is naturally not an ordinary flame, such a flame not only cannot be extinguished by the wind, but even enhances its momentum. On the contrary, it brings more powerful help to the other party. Coupled with the fact that Judy far surpassed Kahlan in both combat skills and gifted knighthood, this half-elf felt anxious for the first time. Just now, he even felt that the other party had enhanced the power of the talent aura, and took the initiative to adjust their coverage!
How is this done?
All this was simply incomprehensible to Kahlan, who had never received similar training, let alone knew anything like that. The use of the talent aura is an ability that he automatically mastered after he became a gifted knight, and all along, he has never suffered failure, so Kahlan didn't think that his original natural ability could be used like this?
And the most unbearable thing for Kahlan is that with the diffusion of Judy's talent aura, the air around him has begun to become thinner, which not only affects his wind, but also poses a threat to his safety. After all, flames need oxygen to burn, and Judy's flames are not ordinary, and naturally consume more. Karan can be sure that if this duel continues, then he will definitely suffer the loss. Of course, he was also a little puzzled, judging from Judy's position, the air there should have been insufficient for a long time, but why was this woman able to attack so bravely?
Or, do you want to return?
Kahlan hesitated for the first time.
He looked at the red-haired girl in front of him fiercely, hesitating in his heart. If you don't retreat, there will definitely be no benefit in continuing to fight. But retreat, Kahlan was a little unacceptable. Ever since he became famous, no woman had dared to despise him so much. And now, the red-haired girl's expression reminded him of that unforgettable scene.
"You're just a piece of waste with an empty face!!"
That's how the woman in the memory pointed at herself, with a look of ridicule and disdain, a memory that Kahlan could never forget in her life. That's why he worked so hard, and even accepted the test that led him to death, and then, he succeeded. Now, there is no woman to despise him, no woman dares to stand in front of him, point to his nose, and say that he is a waste! Almost all women will shake their butts in front of him like a bitch in heat, begging for mercy and love, this is what he wants!
But, this woman!!This damn woman!!How dare you defy yourself!!
The anger in Kahran's heart was indescribable, he really wanted to drag this woman over, strip her naked, and press her in the mud, so that she could clearly understand who is the most powerful and who is the waste in this world!!
But......... What remnants of his sanity told him that it seemed he couldn't do that right now.
Thinking of this, Karan's eyes narrowed, he gritted his teeth, and finally made a decision.
Just because you can't do it now doesn't mean you won't work in the future!
"Whew.........!"
When Judy broke out in another fierce attack, Karan seemed to have finally made a decision, only to see the air around him suddenly begin to flow faster, and then a whirlwind appeared out of thin air to wrap Karan's body and quickly retreat. Judy raised her eyebrows at this scene, and then a flame burst out from the tip of her sword, shooting into the whirlwind. With a scream, the whirlwind suddenly accelerated, and then melted into the night, disappearing without a trace.
"But that's it. ”
It wasn't until the whirlwind was gone that Judy smiled, and then, she put away her weapon, turned around, and looked at the girl beside her.
At this moment, Ofariel was looking at herself with a gloomy face, with a hint of sigh.
When Judy and Kahlan were fighting, Ofariel did not stop, although the dragon's breath is very powerful to destroy the surname, but the Phantom Shadow surname is enough to help Ofariel isolate all damage, and without the protection of Karan's talent aura, the group of cavalry under him naturally has no chic capital, although these people tried to escape, but in the end in front of Ofariel still failed. Although their combat experience was far superior to that of O'Faryl, under the circumstances, the angry O'Faryl could almost be said to be at full strength, and the long black whip swept around unreasonably, sending these poor cavalrymen and horses directly into the air. Some were drawn into Judy's aura of flames and immediately turned to ashes. And some people, although they are a little lucky, end up with a broken head. In the face of the absolute power gap, no matter how experienced they are, they are useless.
"I'm really sorry, Miss Judy. ”
O'Faryl's face was very ugly at the moment, and it was no wonder, after all, just now, she was still in high spirits and felt full of confidence. But the world is so unpredictable, just in an instant, all of Ofariel's original support has been completely knocked to the ground, and her layout has not played any role. Even his own subordinates were killed by the other party neatly. This was a very complete and serious blow to O'Fariel's confidence.
"I ............"
"It's not your fault, Miss O'Fariel. ”
Judy interrupted Ofariel.
"It's not a matter of your judgment, it's that the strength of the other party is far beyond what you can handle. ”
"But ........."
O'Faryl still doesn't seem to be able to accept such comfort, she is a very responsible person, and because of this, it is difficult to leave responsibility behind once she encounters failure.
"If I could have anticipated ......"
"Gifted knight, not yet to the level you might expect. ”
At this point, Judy paused, as if sensing that her words were not very polite, so she couldn't help but sigh and change her words.
"Miss O'Faryl, what do you think of my strength?"
"Very strong. ”
This time, Ofariel answered without hesitation.
"So, what about Mistress Messiah and Mistress Seminya?"
"It's also strong. ”
It's definitely empathetic.
"So, Miss O'Fariel, think about it, if they and I try to attack you, will you be able to react? Can you resist it? Can you anticipate our actions?"
“..................”
This time, Ofariel didn't answer immediately, she thought in silence for a moment, then shook her head.
"That's it. ”
Judy breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
"It's not your mistake this time, Miss O'Faryl, it's just that the other party is too strong. Moreover, Lord Yulian must have already told you that the knightly class has exceeded the level you can fight. ”
"This ...... That's true. ”
Hearing this, Ofariel nodded. Indeed, in the Twilight Forest, when Offariel was taught by Yuren, he did ask similar questions. But the answer given by Yulian at that time was indeed that she didn't want to make a move at all and retreated immediately. The reason is that it is beyond the scope of what you can fight, so there is no need to test it at all.
"That's the end of today's patrol. ”
Judy withdrew her aura and looked at the already ruined ground around her.
"I think that after the other party has learned a lesson, he should not want to come back to trouble for a while......... Miss O'Faryl, I understand your thoughts. I'm not very good at saying that, but ...... If you have any ideas, I'm sure you'll be able to give you good advice. ”
“.....................”
Hearing Judy's words, Offariel subconsciously remembered the man again, she bit her lip, and then nodded slightly.
"Thank you so much for your advice, Miss Judy, I think, I understand. ”
