Chapter 33: Death as a Warrior
Knocking Sara away with one palm, the powerful power quickly faded from Duke's body, and the Giant Bear Technique was shorter than he expected in terms of time, but bathed in the light of the stars and moon, he felt that his mental strength and physical strength were rapidly recovering, this feeling was so obvious that it even made him feel that the "Starry Sky Meditation Technique" should be best matched with the bear form. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
From this moment on, he really had the confidence to master the battle situation and victory in his heart!
At the same time, he also understood why he intuitively and instinctively chose the Giant Bear Technique just now, the recovery power of the bear form exceeding the body means that he can use the third-level spell and the fourth-level Giant Bear Technique again faster, and the giant bear form can compete with Sara in terms of strength, and if he chooses stealth, he can only perform a sneak attack at most, not to mention that in such a close distance and narrow environment, the probability of being forced out is greater than the success rate of the sneak attack.
After Sara fell to the ground, the image of his eyes was still a giant bear, but when he saw it again, it was just an ordinary black bear that was a small circle, and he became suspicious again.
His biggest advantage and reliance on Duke is that he has been promoted to the fourth level, surpassing Duke in terms of level and realm, but just now Duke suddenly showed the power of the fourth level, which not only surprised him, but even made him feel frightened - this not only means that he has no advantage in rank and strength, but more importantly, in less than half a year, Duke has risen from the second level to the fourth level, and this speed itself is beyond his cognition and makes him afraid.
Now what appeared in front of his eyes was an ordinary black bear again, maybe Duke just used some kind of potion to stimulate potential, or some kind of secret method, and actually didn't reach the fourth level?
If Duke had really risen to level four, how could he only show level four strength at the last moment?
It must be like this!
Thinking of this, his heart settled down a lot, and then he controlled the muscles in his chest, pulled the broken rib back to its place, and then gritted his teeth and rushed towards Duke!
Using muscles to control injuries and continue to fight is a warrior's skill, of course, doing so will also affect the strength, now he can play about ninety percent of his original strength, but it is enough for him, he still has to surpass Duke in strength!
In addition, controlling the injury will also increase the consumption of physical strength and vitality, so he needs to solve it quickly in the shortest possible time.
Fortunately, there is not much room for movement here, and it is difficult for Duke to use his agility and speed to his advantage, and he does not have the same power that far surpasses his opponent but has nowhere to use it.
Aside from being careful of Duke's annoying spells, he felt like he had an absolute advantage!
Of course, if there is really any danger, he can also ride the liger and quickly "evacuate" - even he himself doesn't know why he suddenly has the idea of escaping, but the presence of the liger is indeed a great guarantee for his personal safety.
............
Seeing Sara attacking again, Duke stopped meditating with some pity, for him now, every time he meditates for a while, he is one step closer to performing the Giant Bear Technique again, and his strength is correspondingly one more point recovered, and the battle has been up to now, his winning chance is getting higher and higher, relying on the powerful recovery brought by the "Starry Sky Meditation Technique".
There is no way to do it, in the face of Sara, who is superior in rank and realm, and is armed with a strengthened weapon, and is wearing armor all over his body, he does not have many chances, especially if he wants to seriously injure Sara - on the contrary, he will be fatally injured if he is not careful.
Now, Sara has finally received an injury that affects his combat effectiveness, and this has become his weakness.
Duke greeted him with a low growl.
The two quickly collided, and then Duke was knocked backwards and slid back two steps, Sara just shook her body, but her face shook involuntarily.
He looked at Duke with cannibalistic eyes, paused for a second or two, let out a suppressed roar, and rushed towards Duke again.
The two fought fiercely again.
The bear's agility and speed are certainly not comparable to those of the cheetah, but the defense is superior, so then Duke only dodges the damage of the axe blade, and he can dodge other attacks, and if he can't dodge, he will resist - of course, it is not hard resistance, for the Tai Chi in his previous life, although he did not study it in depth, but he still understands some of the principles of dismantling and unloading, and overcoming rigidity with softness, and he can use it to reduce the damage received.
Next, he was constantly knocked down and flapped away, seemingly embarrassed, but the injury was not serious, but Sarah, while hitting Duke, he was often inevitably counterattacked by Duke, and the counterattack parts were selected near his injured part, which undoubtedly aggravated his injury and made him more painful.
The pain made him angry and angry, and he became more and more irritable, and he stared at Duke fiercely, but under this fierce appearance, he also had the idea of retreating.
However, he was unwilling to do so, and attacked Duke with an axe - this time with an axe in one hand and the injured part in the other.
With his strength, this is still a threat to Duke, but it has changed from "attacking instead of defending" to "attacking and defending".
Under normal circumstances, there is no superiority or inferiority between these two fighting methods, but for Sarah, in order to control the injury, his physical strength and vitality are in a state of accelerated consumption, while for Duke, his mental power is constantly recovering!
Hitting each other again, Duke took advantage of the momentum to roll to the side, and Sara only took a step backwards, only to feel another rib break.
The pain made him angry, and he was going to chase him, but seeing Duke get up was still so vigorous, and, from his instinctive instinct as a warrior, he felt that Duke was bringing him more and more threat, and even made him palpitate!
Thinking of this, the thought of retreating had completely overpowered the thought of beheading Duke under the axe, and he gave Duke a fierce look, and said, "Spare your life tonight!
With that, he turned and stepped back - he did it on purpose, and if Duke attacked, he would surely be met with his most ferocious counterattack!
Duke didn't attack, but hung in the back, he naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to let Sara go, and then heal his injuries before chasing him, and by now, the advantage was completely on his side.
Sara felt humiliated by his actions, and tried to stop and kill him several times, but the broken ribs made him endure it again.
Duke naturally didn't care what he thought, and he held back, but it didn't mean that he would let him go, and after a few more steps, a few thick vines suddenly popped up on the ground and restrained him in place.
Sara was furious, and with the force under her feet, she shattered the vines, turned around and was about to kill back, but when she saw Duke standing in place, he stopped again, called the liger to his side, straddled it, and then glanced at Duke with a sneer, the meaning was obvious: there is no mount, he wants to go, can Duke still keep him?
As soon as the thought fell, the sound of vines arching out of the ground was heard below, and then it wrapped around the two hind legs of the liger, trapping it in place.
Sara was furious, and felt deeply humiliated, and felt like her heart was going to explode!
But then, he felt a pang in his heart, and hurriedly turned around, only to see a giant bear weighing more than half a ton roaring and pounced on him!
............
Thor of the White Lake tribe briskly returned to his grandfather's quarters while Ram was wiping the dagger that looked like an animal's arthropod.
Thor gently closed the door, walked over to report a few things, and then whispered with a smug face: "Grandpa, according to the time, he should probably pass by the 'gift' today......"
Ram nodded lightly and said, "In the past few months, you have done a good job in this matter!"
The embarrassment on Saul's face flashed, and he turned to say flatteringly: "Grandpa, you are right, at that time, I just thought that I could be foolproof, but the gift is hated to him, I am afraid that I will not keep my hand when I meet it!"
Ram could naturally hear the pleasure in Sol's tone when he said it, and understood the reason, but he didn't care, he put away the dagger and said indifferently: "He could have been immortal, but this matter really can't be lost, if you want to blame him, blame him for wanting something that shouldn't belong to him!"
For some reason, this sentence clearly refers to "him", but Thor was shocked, he quickly suppressed this thought, and then discussed some details of this plan with Ram, and when he returned to his residence, for some reason, he could not sleep, and soon it was dawning.
............
At this point, Sara struggled to crawl out of the river, because the injuries were so severe that the armor became a burden to him.
He looked to the east, and although it was already dark, the sun had not risen, and it did not give him the slightest feeling of warmth, and he felt cold, very cold.
At this time, he heard the familiar sound of the lion and tiger beast running, and when he looked back, he was riding in the woods on the hillside behind him, and it was estimated that he would be able to catch up with this side in a while.
The scene is familiar, except that the objects have swapped places.
In fact, from jumping into the river to escape, he knew that it would be difficult to escape the pursuit of Duke with the liger in his hand, and the liger was originally used by him to chase and kill Duke, and the reason why he had to jump into the river was just the instinct to survive at that time.
But he was so tired, both physically and mentally, he was exhausted to the extreme!
Yesterday, when he was about to retreat, he saw Duke use the fourth-level Giant Bear Technique for the second time, and although the horizontal axe blocked it, it only slightly aggravated the injury, but that time was the beginning of his escape.
Until now, he still didn't understand why Duke was able to use level 4 power at level 3, but he had discovered that Duke used spells almost no process of chanting, but what was the use of discovering it?
From the moment he decided to run away, he was still angry at the beginning, thinking about how to retaliate back, but in the next few battles, he became weaker and weaker, and his opponent became more and more fierce, and his anger was gradually replaced by panic, and then he just wanted to run away and survive!
But even this thought, he found to be delusional!
No matter what method he used, he couldn't evade Duke's pursuit, and soon he had to abandon the liger, and later even the weapon he loved more than his life had to be thrown away, and then, he became numb, and any decision he made was just a matter of physical instinct.
Now, his body tells him that he can't escape anymore, and he understands that this will be the end of his life!
It's just that how did it become what it is now?
He tried to think about it, only to feel that everything in front of him revealed an absurdity that he couldn't believe: in the past, trainer Wald had praised his talent, there were many peers around him, with him as the center, he even touched the edge of the fourth level in a fairly short period of time, and now it also proved that his cultivation speed was not slow, and he gave himself the title of "Angry Slash", because he felt that it would be the direction of his progress......
How did this path, which was originally full of light, get narrower and narrower, and suddenly break off?
Soon he thought of the brief battle outside Grizzly Valley, and that's when everything changed.
And what led to that?
He thought of the harmless man who seemed to be harmless, and then a piece of metal with a dark green hue came to his mind......
Is it just for a piece of metal like that?
He felt a pain in his heart, and then his mouth became bitter, and he wanted to laugh, but any movement would bring all kinds of soreness, and besides, he didn't even have the strength to laugh.
At this time, there was the sound of crossing the water behind him, and his body's instinct to survive made him get up and continue to escape, but only his mind moved, but his body still maintained its original position.
Soon, the griger's gasping reached the river, and the red of the eastern hills grew brighter, and the sun finally jumped out as Duke stepped off his mount.
The moment the red light shone through, he narrowed his eyes, and in a trance, he saw a young elf wielding an axe in the sunlight and practicing the skills of a warrior, that was when he was a child.
His heart suddenly came to life at this moment.
Struggling to sit up, he turned to look at Duke, gasped for a moment, and then said, "Duke, I know I'm going to die today, but can you please let me die as a warrior......?" Fulfilled!"
Duke glanced at him, silently took out his axe and threw it beside him.
Sara struggled to reach for the axe, but could only lift it upright.
He pressed his face against the handle of the water-carved axe, stroked it with great tenderness, and after a while he threw it back to Duke with all his might, and said, "I can't take it anymore...... Duke, this is my weapon, it has not yet drunk the blood of the enemy, I hope you will not throw it away, and find a good one for it, and will not dishonor its master! I will harm you for it, let you end my life with it now!"
Duke was silent again, then asked, "What's its name?"
Sara looked up at the sky, then at Duke, and said, "I originally wanted to call it 'Rage Slash', but it's not an auspicious name, so let's call it 'Blood Fury'!"
Duke picked up the axe, stroked it, and nodded, "Good!"
Sara smiled, began to undress her armor, put it by her side, and then stood up from the ground, put her right hand on her chest and said, "Are you ready?"
Duke glanced at him, put the axe across his chest, and said solemnly, "Please!"
Sara bowed slightly and said, "Duke, thank you!"
Getting up, he roared wildly, and with all his strength, he used the last charge of his last life to rush towards Duke!
Duke hesitated for a moment, then regained his determination and swung his axe to slash the past!
In the bright morning sun, a head jumped high and fell into the sand by the river and rolled a few times before stopping.
Duke walked over, picked up the skull, wiped off the sand, and saw that the expression on it was clearly grateful and relieved!
