"Smack!"

It's the sound of the soles of the feet stomping the ground.

The sound came from a fraction of a second after Rieg drew his knife.

I saw that at the moment when Li Ge drew his knife, all the people around him seemed to be burned by fire, and they stomped on the ground reflexively, and subconsciously stayed away from him.

Including Gergeff, including Gergran and Yin Weiai, and of course Brian, who has been looking like a dead heart since the beginning.

Yes.

Brian also moved.

Moreover, it moves more violently and quickly than the others, as if it has been cut by an invisible knife, and it also flies and bounces away.

"Oh?" Li Ge raised his eyebrows and said with a surging smile: "It seems that the heart is dead and the heart is dead, and the instinct to feel danger still exists." ”

This sentence is naturally directed at Brian.

“………”

Brian didn't answer, just subconsciously put on a posture of drawing a knife, and countless cold sweats flowed from his forehead.

Not only him, but everyone around him also behaved similarly.

"Grid, Grande......"

The weakest Krem was already pale, as if he had been greatly stimulated, and was carried in the hands of Ggran.

Just now, it was Gran who took Crane out with him the moment he jumped away.

But in fact, Gegran himself did it subconsciously, and he didn't have the spare time to take care of Klaym.

The proof is that this sturdy female warrior is also like Brian, and she looks like she is sweating profusely.

“…… That's an exaggeration, isn't it? Gegran stared at Rieg and whispered in disbelief: "At that moment, I almost thought I was going to die. ”

"Yin Weiai, what about you?"

Gegran wailed to Yin Wei not far from him, but he didn't dare to leave Rig for even half a second.

Under such circumstances, Yin Wei's voice as if it had changed its tune reached Gegran's ears.

“…… I'm pretty much like you. ”

Her voice was full of jealousy, shock, and disbelief.

"Wouldn't it? Do you even feel this way? Gran suddenly showed an extremely reluctant smile and said, "This is troublesome, I originally thought that there should be a lot of exaggeration in the rumors related to that kid, but now it seems that those rumors are not true at all, and it is even possible to underestimate him." ”

"But is this possible? That kid looks a little younger than our team leader! ”

"Is it really possible for humans to exercise such strength at this age?"

"Isn't he actually an old monster who has outlived you? Yin Wei mourns! ”

Gegran's words did not get Yin Weiwai's response.

Yin Weiwai just stared at Li Ge tightly, and the expression under the mask was extremely uncertain.

And even she was like this, not to mention Brian, who was deliberately targeted by Rige, whose hand holding the knife was trembling.

“…… Who are you? ”

Brian questioned Rig in a hoarse voice.

"Rige Brihaut." Rig also ignored the reactions of the others, turned to Brian, and said, "A human who you look down upon. ”

"No kidding!" Brian said again without thinking: "How can a character like you be a human being?" ”

Brian had to think so.

At least, he didn't think that anyone in the human race could make himself feel like he would be killed in the next second with the mere act of drawing a knife.

But if Rieg is to say, Brian's thinking is a complete manifestation of arrogance.

"Why can't it be?"

Rieger's voice was surging.

"Because it's human, it's impossible to be so strong?"

"Because it's so strong, it can't be human?"

"Who the hell says this?"

Such words, as if giving Brian an outlet for catharsis, made Brian sneer.

"Isn't that an obvious fact?" Brian said, "Just compare a little. ”

"In terms of lifespan, the lifespan of human beings can be said to be short in all races, generally only about 100 years old, not to mention compared with those species that do not grow old and immortal, even compared with those long-lived species."

"In terms of ability, human beings are inherently far inferior to subhuman races and alien races, with no claws, no crust, no night vision, not to mention special abilities unique to races, almost nothing."

"Even if it is a well-honed physical ability, at most it is just a comparison with a weak subhuman such as a goblin, as long as the opponent is an ogre, it will take about ten years for a gifted human to be able to compare."

"The human race as a whole is not outstanding in the eyes of any race, it can be said to be the most mediocre race, and in the eyes of other races, it is nothing more than a moving piece of flesh, which is very easy to capture."

"How strong can such a human being be?"

What appeared on Brian's face was self-deprecation, the grief that everything in life had turned into meaningless bubbles.

"Like me, even if I practice my sword and practice my hand, I don't know how many times it has been worn out, and in the face of a newborn dragon, there is still a great possibility of defeat, and it is even possible that I can't even pierce the scales on someone's body."

"And what about dragons? As long as it opens its mouth and bites, my body will be bitten off in an instant, even if the other person has just been born. ”

"Human beings are really too weak, even if they are known as heroes, and they have worked hard all their lives to exercise, their strength may not be as strong as those newborn children of those truly powerful races."

"Humans need to work hard to have a body, and other races are born with it, isn't that weak?"

No one could deny Brian's statement.

Human beings are indeed not like those powerful races, they have naturally strong bodies and natural strength, and even if they work hard to exercise, there are still many alien beings who are not physically capable of reaching them.

So, in a way, Brian's statement is a fact, a weakness that humanity has to face.

It's just that......

"Because you are not born strong, you are not born with other races, so you should obediently accept your fate and go to others as food?" Rig said indifferently to Brian, "It seems that you are more servile than I thought, Brian Angers." ”

"What did you say?"

Brian's eyes widened slightly.

Rieger didn't say it a second time.

"I don't know what you've seen, but I'm human, it's true, it's your business if you want to turn a blind eye, and I'm not interested in discussing with you what kind of human possibilities there are."

Li Ge slowly put away the knife, letting the sense of fatal crisis that permeated everyone's hearts gradually disappear.

Then, Rieger said something like that.

"Let's see for yourself how strong humanity can become."

Rig reached out to Brian and hooked it.

"Come, let me see your knife."

This sentence, although it did not carry any insulting tone, still gave Brian a feeling of being insulted.

But Greg didn't give Brian time to get angry.

"Standing in front of you now is not a different race that you say is inherently stronger than humans, but a human like you."

"You don't have the courage to swing a knife at a monster, so you should have the courage to swing a knife at the same human, right?"

"Or do you not even have the courage to swing a sword at your kind?"

"Then I have to suspect that the reason why you are so weak is not because you are human, but because you yourself are a waste."

The indifferent words made Brian's eyes that had lost focus and were like stagnant water finally start to burn.

"Swing the knife."

Rigg's voice came clearly into Brian's ears.

"Do you have the qualifications to evaluate all mankind, let me have a look."

Hearing this, Brian's grip on the knife gradually tightened.

Inadvertently, out of the corner of Brian's eye, he caught a glimpse of Gerdjieff on the side.

Gurdjieff didn't speak, just stood there quietly, staring at him, his eyes showing emotions that Brian couldn't understand.

Is that contempt?

Or is it contempt?

Anyway, it's definitely not going to be a good thing, right?

With such thoughts flashing through his mind, Brian couldn't help but recall all the efforts he had made to defeat Gergerf over the years.

He was originally just an inconspicuous farmer, but by chance he discovered that he had a natural talent, that is, a talent for swordsmanship.

With the help of talent, as long as he picks up arms, he will not be defeated, and he has never been injured more seriously than abrasions, so he can be said to be a veritable master and genius.

Having never tasted defeat in swordsmanship has led Brian to believe that he will always be on the path to victory.

It wasn't until the kingdom's royal jousting tournament that a turning point in Brian's life appeared.

The first defeat since his birth befell Brian at that convention.

The man who defeated him was Gurdjiev Storonov, the current Warrior Commander of the Kingdom and known to be the strongest warrior in the surrounding countries.

Brian's defeat at his hands made him realize that eternal victory was nothing more than wishful thinking on his part, and that he was just sitting on the sidelines.

For this reason, he rejected the invitations of several nobles, and for the first time wanted to be angry.

Keep practicing martial arts and exercising.

Keep learning magic and improve your knowledge.

As a genius, he kept working hard like Xiucai, and failure led Brian to such a path.

In order to defeat Gurdjieff, Brian even went so far as to become a mercenary and a thief, and joined a group of thieves for this purpose.

As long as you can get rid of the shame and have stronger skills, you can abandon everything, including reputation, this is Brian's idea.

It's a pity that such a grand ambition ended up being reduced to a joke in an accident that came by chance.

In that "incident", he didn't even have the slightest sense of existence, and fled in embarrassment, and fell into despair on his own.

Even now, this despair still haunts Brian and makes Brian breathless.

However, the opponent is a human being, and his fierce opponent is also present, so don't you even have the courage to swing a knife?

When such a thought came to his mind, Brian had already taken an offensive posture before he could draw a conclusion.

“…… You don't regret it. ”

Vicious words came out of his mouth, and they were clearly audible.

Seeing this, Gergeff's eyes lit up, and Gergran and the others couldn't help but stare at Brian.

At this moment, Brian's eyes were finally no longer dead ashes, but a little bit of fighting intent burned.

Only for this moment, he was Brian Anglaus, the genius swordsman who could compete with Gurdjieff to the core.

"Come on."

The corners of Riege's mouth lifted slightly, and his words were quite concise.

The air began to get heavy.

Battle, on the verge of breaking out.
