George smiled bitterly: "The people here call you the god Amun, and you are like a god. I have been to the city of Salem and have seen it with my own eyes, and everything here is truly miraculous and breathtaking!"

Gabriel was not polite, and said expressionlessly: "Amon, you should know our intentions!"

Amon replied, "I know that the two of you are here to hunt me down on the orders of the Eju Empire. Find a place where it's easy to talk, there are too many people here, it's hard to catch up. ”

Continuing on, the Duk Plain was now full of wilderness, and several people were silent along the way, and finally came to a no-man's valley surrounded by small hills. Amon stopped and waved, set up a large gold-roofed tent out of thin air, set up tables, chairs and wine in the tent, sat down and said, "Lord George, Lord Gabriel, whatever is the matter, sit down first, please let me toast a glass of wine." ”

When Amon first arrived in Eju, he was a commoner from a foreign land, Gabriel had rescued him, and George had helped him. By the time he left Eju, he was already a great general of the great nations of the world, and Gabriel and George had been his subordinates and had been under his orders on the battlefield. Now toasting this glass of wine, Amun's identity is still an imperial general, and he has not been publicly dismissed.

George raised his glass and drank slowly, the great magician had been smiling bitterly ever since he saw Amun. Gabriel grabbed the glass and drank it up, then stood up and said, "Amon, since you know my intentions, you won't waste time." Now, as a great samurai, I formally request a duel with you!"

Duel?Amon wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh when he heard this, he had already had two duels along the way, first with the Lion King Renyun in the desert, and then with Yunmeng and Celia and her summoned beast Leo on the edge of the swamp. Unexpectedly, there would be a third duel after entering the Plains of Duke, and the opponent was his savior Gabriel.

Amon put down his glass, stood up and reminded: "Your mission is to kill me, the raid assassination may still be completed, if you fight head-on, you have almost no chance, why do you need to solve it in a duel?"

George and Link frowned, Amon actually spoke like this, as if reminding Gabriel what he should do if he wanted to kill him, and also tactfully telling Gabriel that both sides were ready to do it face to face, and now she was not his opponent.

Gabriel said solemnly: "General Amon, I know your exploits for Eju, and the Eju Empire did not openly punish you, but only ordered me to assassinate you. Then I can only ask another samurai to fight a duel as a samurai. High Priest George, am I okay with this?"

George nodded and replied, "Of course, and it seems like the only thing you can do." ”

Amon asked again, "Honorable Great Warrior, if it is a duel, you need the consent of the other party, what if I don't agree?"

Gabriel replied, "Amun, I have saved you, and I do not ask you to repay you, but I only want you to help me out of this predicament and agree to the request of the duel." ”

Amon nodded slowly: "You say this, so I can't refuse, okay, I accept your duel request...... Since it is a duel, there is an agreement for a duel, who do you want to arbitrate, and what agreement do you want to do?"

Gabriel: "I ask the great magician George to arbitrate with this Mr. Link, and there is no special agreement, but it will be dealt with according to the results of the duel between the warriors of the opposing sides at the time of the battle, and observe noble etiquette." ”

Gabriel's request was not for a private duel among the people, but for a duel when the samurai of the opposing sides were fighting. The victorious side can kill the losing side, and if the opponent is not killed, then the loser will be a prisoner of war, and the country or city-state to which he belongs can be ransomed. This is not an explicit law, but a kind of aristocratic etiquette in the countries of the continent.

Amon looked at Gabriel with a helpless expression, and nodded again: "Okay, as you wish." ”

Gabriel bowed to Amon again, took out a cowhide envelope from his bosom, handed it over, and said, "Before the duel begins, according to the instructions of the Holy Maiden, I will hand you this letter, please read it before you do it." ”

Amon quickly reached out and took the letter, and since Gabriel had been tasked with assassinating him, it was impossible for Mary not to give an explanation. Amon had always wanted to ask but couldn't speak, it turned out that there was such a letter a long time ago. He opened the envelope and took out a piece of straw paper, glanced at it and couldn't help but be slightly startled, then put the letter in it again, and carefully put it in his arms.

Gabriel didn't ask him what was written in the letter, but asked, "Have you read it?"

Amon replied calmly, "After reading it, when do you want to duel with me?"

Gabriel unsheathed his sword from his waist and placed it on the table, reaching out to George. George sighed, took out a silver battle axe from the space artifact, and handed it to her. This tomahawk is like a half-round moon, exuding a bright silver-white light, and its surface seems to have flowing patterns, like wisps of electric light circulating, not carved lines, but a strange reflection of the surrounding space image.

Amon was slightly taken aback, this is not an ordinary weapon, it is also a magic artifact, and it seems to be able to change with the body and mind, it can be called a holy relic! In fact, this battle axe was originally given to Gabriel by Amun, and it was obtained from the mysterious cave where Bell fell, and the weapons that can be preserved there are all treasures on the mainland.

Gabriel had used this tomahawk to fight Enkidu, and there were many gaps and countless cracks on it, but she did not discard the weapon, and repaired it completely with Mithril Fusion. The so-called Mithril is made from silver, but it has been specially processed by a magician to transmit the power it inspires to the best effect, and it is a precious material for processing weapons used by samurai. However, fusing it on the surface of the weapon requires divine refining and is not an ordinary plating.

I don't know how many times this axe has been stirred by powerful power, and the material has also changed wonderfully. No matter how much Gabriel fused Mithril to repair, the axe always bore the marks of chips and cracks, like an indelible mark.

She can't repair this weapon, even if she repairs the shape completely, and when the power is activated, the diffuse silver quill will always appear uncontrollable spatial cracks, and the attacks sent out are like a toothless comb, and the power is always inexplicably missing. Before she accepted the mission of hunting down Amun, she made a request to the Holy Maiden to concentrate all the power of the Temple of Isis and completely refine this weapon.

Maria agreed, but the result was a little incredible, she summoned all the alchemists in the temple, and finally mobilized all the great magicians to lay down the magic array, and put this battle axe in the center of the magic array to quench, and finally even Maria herself took action with the staff of the Holy Maiden herself, so that the gap on this battle axe and the lines of the rift were completely bridged, forming those flowing patterns.

At this moment, Gabriel took out the battle axe, and Amon swept it with the detection magic skill, and he felt as if the space on both sides of the axe blade had been cut into an invisible gap, dividing a boundary, and even the detection of the magic seemed to be cut off. This is a holy artifact that can open up space, if the user's mana is strong enough, the power of this weapon is incredible, Amon can't help but be secretly surprised.

Gabriel walked into the valley with his battle axe in hand, turned around and said, "Amon, please also take out your weapons, and duel here and now." ”

Link also vaguely sensed that the battle axe in her hand was unusual, and opened her mouth to persuade: "Respected Great Warrior, God Amun has just opened a path in the Black Fire Swamp, and it has taken a month of continuous effort, which must be extremely exhausting, I think it is better to rest for a while before dueling." ”

George also took advantage of the situation to persuade: "What Link said is very reasonable, Amon is very hard to open a road in the swamp, and he needs to rest for the time being, and when he has fully recovered his physical strength and mana, when will he duel again." ”

Both of them wanted to delay, not wanting to see Gabriel and Amon really duel, and it wouldn't hurt anyone to drag it out anyway. Gabriel looked at Amun and said, "The people here call you the god Amun, do you need to rest?"

Amon smiled and asked meaningfully, "If you want to rest, then wait until your strength is restored before dueling, and if you insist on dueling here and now, I have no objection." ”

Gabriel replied very simply, "Then let's do it!"

Amun's expression was a little strange, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he slowly walked into the valley and stood ten paces away from Gabriel, and took out a weapon out of thin air. George and Link in the distance were taken aback at the same time, because the weapon Amon took out was also very special, it was a thick and long broadsword, the blade was very wide, and it looked like an elongated cross.

In the center of the sword is a spar, which is translucent in sunlight and has a thin line in the middle that looks like a cat's eye. Link recognized it, it was the staff of the cat god Best, and it was once a holy relic that could change with body and mind, and then its broken remains fell into Link's hands, and Link gave it to Amon.

Amon traveled through the Thousands of Miles of the Desert and through the vast black fire swamp, and along the way he actually completed the sacrifice and made it into a sword. This sword looks very heavy, but it is light in Amun's hand, and it seems to have a kind of annihilation power when swept by the detection magic technique, as if the aura it emits can seal all kinds of senses.

After Amon stood still, Gabriel asked, "General, are you ready?"

Amon didn't speak, just nodded, and Gabriel simply made a move. I saw her lift her battle axe and rush forward, and the distance of ten steps was in the blink of an eye, and she swung a silver light diagonally and slashed at Amun. Amon slashed his sword sideways, dodging the blade of the axe and attacking Gabriel's arm. Gabriel did not withdraw his axe to dodge, but spun around, and the axe swirled in the air, slapping at the tip of Amon's sword.

The tips of the tomahawk and the sword clanged together, the buzzing sound was sharp and piercing, and the two of them moved extremely fast, and they had already switched places and fought again together. George and Link, who were watching the battle, were a little puzzled, they thought they were going to see an earth-shattering fight, George clenched his staff and prepared himself for being affected by the power, but the scene in front of him was very strange and even weird.

Gabriel's martial arts skills are first-class, she has learned various fighting techniques since she was a child, and she has worked hard beyond ordinary people's imagination, and has also performed various dangerous tasks. Even if she is not a great samurai, she is also a martial arts master, the technique of using various weapons is almost perfect, the combination of speed and power is seamless, and the judgment of the shot is extremely accurate, there is no need to think, the reaction in the fight is already an instinct.

Amon has not undergone such systematic training in fighting skills, but Schrödinger was once the best goddess of the Nine Divine Systems, and has gone through countless sinister battles. Amon had unfolded her soul imprint, and had inherited her martial arts skills and experience, and she was not left behind in such a fight with Gabriel.

Silver light and sword shadows intertwined, and the figures of the two were dazzling between advance and retreat, and the weapons occasionally slammed together with a crisp clanging sound. But there is no diffuse light on the battlefield, and there is no burst of energy impact, this is not like two great warriors in a duel, more like two martial arts masters are competing in skills and experience, to see whether Amon's swordsmanship is better or Gabriel's battle axe is better.

Link couldn't help but exclaim, "So they want to fight like this, Great Wizard George, do you see it? A great magician like you, if he is close to this kind of warrior, he can easily assassinate you." ”

George nodded, "They are the top martial arts masters on the continent, and it will be difficult for anyone to resist if they are not caught off guard." But why don't they use the power of the great samurai?"

Link shrugged, "How do I know, have they discussed it?"

Neither Amon nor Gabriel used their superhuman strength, fighting like two strong ordinary people, and the grass was flying in the valley, and the battlefield had been trampled into a flat ground. But there is also an invisible danger in the fighting, which comes from the weapons in their hands.

Amon could feel the sharpness of Gabriel's tomahawk slicing through almost everything. To describe the sharpness of a weapon, it usually depends on how hard the material is and how thin the edge can be. But this tomahawk is different, it has the power to cut through space, no matter how tough the armor is, if the space is cut out of the gap, it will lose the meaning of defense.

The blade of the axe is like a strange order division, not to mention the hard armor, even the continuous flowing water can be cut, if it is used with the help of powerful mana, it is truly unparalleled sharpness in the world! If Amon does not use additional divine defense, no matter how tough the snake scale armor he wears, it will not be able to stop it if he is slashed by this axe.

Gabriel felt that the sword in Amon's hand was also very special, with an indescribable annihilation power, no matter how powerful the weapon's attack was, but in front of this sword, it seemed like a mud cow entering the sea, as if it had been sealed, or severed the connection between the power and the person who sent it.

The two fought for a long time, the shadow in the sun was erratic, although the weapons hit each other many times, but Amon did not let the opponent's axe blade directly cut on the sword, but only used the tip of the sword to unload the axe. Amun's sword is very skillful, if a warrior is replaced and the tip of the sword is hit by the tomahawk, the traction of the impact will dislocate the joints of the entire arm, but Gabriel's footwork and habit of wielding his weapon can always be resolved in the most reasonable way.

They fought from morning to afternoon, and the sun had changed direction. With the physical strength of two great samurai, they can hold on for a few days and nights, and it depends on who accidentally reveals their flaws first.

Link finally saw some clues, and said to George: "They are fighting like this because of the weapons in their hands, Gabriel's battle axe can cut through space, and the energy impact will always cut a gap. Amon's long sword can annihilate power, and it can also cut through the energy impact to make it lose traction, so they simply compete with fighting skills. ”

George frowned, "The weapon is indeed magical. But even if it is a holy relic, it must have enough strength to be able to exert its maximum power, and the two of them fighting like this may not only be the reason for the weapon, but also may have another mystery. ”

Link: "You mean I guessed wrong? But how long will it take for them to fight like this? Actually, you and I both know very well that if we really let go of the power of the duel, Gabriel is by no means the opponent of the god Amun." ”

Before they could finish their words, there was a sudden change on the battlefield, and with a deafening sword and axe, Amon's figure was shaken and flew dozens of feet away. The concussive force of the sound shattered all the utensils on the table, and rose-colored wine flowed all over the table. George raised his staff with a shout of surprise, and the layers of various shields covered the golden-domed tent.

The battle scene suddenly changed, and the silver axe in Gabriel's hand emitted thousands of rays of light, slashing into the dirt as if there was no trace, but the swept trees were silently broken, and the hard rocks were constantly sliding, as if they were inexplicably separated from the mountain.

Amon shouted, "It's good to come, I've been waiting!" The long sword in his hand also turned into countless phantoms, and the silver light shattered everywhere he passed. Gabriel strode forward with his axe, and the silver battle axe had turned into a swirling arc of light, and even the phantom of the sword light could cut through it.

The astonishing energy impact scattered, and the figures of the two could no longer be distinguished outside the battlefield, and even the nearest small hill was flattened and turned into wriggling dust. At this moment, even if someone wants to stop the duel between the two, I'm afraid they won't be able to intervene.

The Great Tent is like an isolated island on the edge of a stormy sea, suffering from various shocks from time to time, and even Link has used magic to defend itself. Thankfully, the tent was only the aftermath of the dissipation, and George and Link were able to sit still. From time to time, a silver light slashed down, shattering a layer of shield, but strangely appeared from behind the tent. From time to time, a sword light flew in, silently scattering the surrounding elemental protection.

George gripped his staff tightly, frowned and asked Link, "Can you see what they're doing?"

Link also held the staff and shook his head: "I can't see clearly, even the detection magic has been disrupted!

George smiled bitterly: "What kind of arbitration, they don't need others to arbitrate, we just make a show!"

The fierce battle continued until dusk, with strange humming and popping sounds, even the sunlight was bright and dark, and the distant scene through the battlefield was distorted and twisted, and the valley was unrecognizable. There was a loud bang in the fight, like a sledgehammer hitting a giant bell, Link felt a buzz in his head, his eardrums were hot, George shook it and almost didn't fall off his chair, and then everything was calm again.
