Chapter Forty-Six: The Mystery of the Sword

Only then did Gordon notice that the huge and strange headdress on the head of the king of the Odd Faces was actually a portable barbecue stove.

What's even more amazing is that the flame on the stove, which is used as a crown by the king of the Strange Face Clan, actually changes with its mood.

At first, there was only a small faint cluster of flame on the stove above his head when he crushed himself like chopping melons and vegetables, but when it fell into madness and rage, the stove above it became blazing.

When the flames turned into erupting flames, the furious aura displayed by the King of the Strange Faces frightened Gordon, who had faced the fire dragon, but he still had the urge to try.

- I want to try fighting again, even if I was cornered after just taking a picture before, I still want to fight it again.

His grip tightened and relaxed, and he finally let go of his right hand that was grappling at the hilt of the Bursting Knife.

Now that he obviously doesn't have the strength and qualifications to fight against monsters of that level, he boldly inserts himself into the battle between the king of the Strange Face clan and the predecessors of Amos, just to cause trouble for the latter.

Slapping his cheek vigorously to calm down some of his hot-blooded brains, and with the blaster behind his back, Gordon lowered his arms to take a closer look at the battle that was so important to him.

Before that, he thought that the gap between the upper hunters and ordinary hunters was nothing more than more hunting experience, better equipment and weapons, and better martial arts.

In fact, it is not wrong to say this, but the so-called "more skilled martial arts" is far beyond the understanding of him, a two-star hunter.

Just the pace, he felt completely incomprehensible.

How can the uneven forest land, where the vegetation is so uneven, be able to slide so smoothly and frequently and over such a long distance?

Is it possible to put wheels under his feet?

And how does the ultra-long blade, which is nearly two meters long and should be difficult to ensure stability, is easy to switch between offense and defense in repeated turns and dodges, and hits the opponent's key parts accurately in an instant?

Don't you need to lock your eyes on the lower position first?

No one could answer Gordon's surprise at this time, the battle between the king of the strange-faced clan and Amos had entered a white-hot stage.

"Almost." Amos whispered silently.

The aggressive rhythm of the assault came to an abrupt halt, and without warning, the Blade Envoy retreated again, putting some distance away from the King of the Odd-Faced Clan.

Taidao makes the hands holding the handle of the sword folded, the blade of the sword is facing upward, and the tip of the sword is pointed forward, which is a special way of holding the sword called "Okasumi".

A light red light and shadow appeared on him, and in the next moment, he was like an arrow off the string, using the tip of the knife as the tip of the arrow, and "shot" forward.

Gordon's pupils are constricted.

He could clearly feel that Amos was moving faster.

The hallucinatory light and shadow of light red light and shadow is obviously not something that can be summed up by a sentence of "swordsmanship", it should be a special use of one's own strength, or energy.

The Great Sword also has a similar use, that is, the "Charged Slash" as the core move of the Great Sword.

Before the Charged Slash erupted, a similar light would flash on the bodies of the Great Sword Envoys, which was a sign that the accumulation and integration of power had reached its limit.

"This is, Air Slash?"

Gordon suddenly remembered that the instructor Ernest had given him the use of the Taidao in science.

Unlike the simple and crude charge of the Great Sword, the Taidao Envoys are accustomed to accumulating "sword momentum" (air blade groove) through continuous attacks, and then exploding in one breath at the right time.

This is the Air Blade.

It is said that when the air blade is released, it will not only increase the attack speed and attack strength of the sword envoys, but also "open the blade" for the sword, and what this "open blade" means, Gordon is not very clear.

It's not necessarily a literal sharpening of knives, right?

While Gordon was amazed, Hayata, who was also watching the battle here, also opened her eyes, and it was the first time she had seen her teacher Amos doing his best.

The white ape nagi, who dragged the light red sword qi, was faster than a sword, and under the successive attacks, the king of the strange face clan who was left and right was quickly forced out of the flaw.

Immediately afterward, he was slashed by Amos with a whirling slash with an astonishing attack range.

With the hit of this sword full of faith, Amos's entire momentum suddenly rose a level.

Gordon, who didn't even dare to blink his eyes, immediately realized that this increase in momentum should be the "blade" that the instructor once mentioned!

If the air blade slash is the release of the "sword momentum" after accumulation, then the so-called "open blade" is the qualitative change and improvement of the "sword momentum" after the air blade slash is successfully slashed in battle.

"So this is the meaning of the sword?" Gordon muttered to himself.

Compared with Gordon, who can see some doorways, Hayata, who is still a layman, has a much more "superficial" idea.

She just thinks she's so handsome! Teacher Amos's steps are so handsome, the posture of dancing the sword is so handsome, and even after a series of combos, the posture of the sword is so handsome!

How could there be such a handsome weapon in this world!

Unable to hear Gordon's self-talk and the screams and cheers of his disciple Hayatta, Amos quietly watched the opponent in front of him.

After exhausting the sword momentum (air blade groove) and completing the blade, he silently incorporated the white ape into the scabbard, but he didn't seem to have the intention of taking advantage of the victory to pursue.

The King of the Strange Faces gasped, the bone scepter in his hand had been cut in half, and a huge wound had been added to his chest and abdomen.

If it hadn't been for the last moment, it had barely lifted its scepter to resist, and it would not have been seriously injured when it was hit by the whirling of the air blade, but should have been cut in two.

Right now, it can't help but have the idea of retreating in its heart.

These humans, to be precise, the human hunter in front of them are far stronger than it expected, and if they continue to fight, they will most likely be killed here.

"Click, click, ......"

The flames overhead slowly extinguished, and a series of murky grunts full of warning sounds, came from under the strangely shaped mask of the King of the Strange Faces.

Its gaze remained fixed on the hunter in front of it, but its footsteps slowly retreated.

Seeing that the king of the odd-faced clan was about to retreat, Gordon hurriedly took a few steps forward, wanting to block his retreating path, but he didn't expect Amos to suddenly stretch out a palm and signal him to stop.

"Amos senior?"

Amos shook his head slightly, but did not speak.

Gordon looked at the Strange-Faced King who was looking at him warily, hesitated for a second, and finally stopped and stepped aside.

The king of the Strange-Faced Clan took a deep look at Amos, turned and burrowed into a bush, and disappeared from the sight of several people in the blink of an eye.

Amos still didn't let his guard down, until he was sure that the king of the Odd-Faced Clan was really far away, then he exhaled softly and turned back to Hayatta and them.

"Senior Amos, are you okay, are you injured?" Gordon walked over and asked, a little worried.

He guessed that the reason why Amos would let the battered King of the Odd-Faced Clan leave was because he was not in a good state either.

"I'm fine."

Amos waved his hand, reassuring Gordon and Hayata, who were also worried.

"Hurry up and collect materials, confirm whether the goal of the next mission to defeat the 20 Odd Face Clan has been achieved, and if it is completed, we will return to the camp."
