Chapter 11: Fighting Spirit
"Two princes, I ask you to abide by what I emphasize next."
"First, there is no limit to the duel, but the point is up to the point, and it cannot be damaged. Second, if you hear me stop it, stop immediately, or I will punish you. Thirdly, knightly dueling, honor is supreme. ”
"Samir Saides, Knight Apprentice."
"William Siders, knight's apprentice."
Both of them wore iron armor, and they also wore pointed nose helmets on their heads, and even the back of their hands had a semi-circular pad. This is the popular knightly equipment in the Kingdom of Saidus, and as for the weapons, there are many types, including broadswords, swords, spears, shields, and so on.
At this time, both of them were armed with two-handed swords. Salute in the air and hold your sword against each other.
William felt the weight of the armor and felt just right, but in his memory, the original William would feel pressure when he put on the armor and be a little clumsy when he moved.
"It's only been a few days, and the Barbarian King's help to me is gradually showing its signs."
After wearing this armor, I can't help but feel a strong sense of security.
But William knew that this sense of security was false, because the defense of the iron armor was very strong at the level of ordinary people, but if the opponent was a knight or a big knight, the defense of the iron armor would plummet.
At the end of the day, this is a world of extraordinary powers.
……
On the dueling platform, Samir held the great sword tightly in his right hand, and his left hand was half-empty and half-solid on the hilt.
Tentatively taking two steps, William stood still.
"Okay, that's a long lesson." Samir smiled secretly, he had dueled William many times, and he knew each other's dueling styles by heart.
He had the impression that William had always liked to attack, and even neglected defense in attack. Although Salvatore was reminded of this, William did not correct it.
When the temptation failed, Samir's expression was cold, his right leg stepped forward slightly, and he swung his sword in mid-air to take the head of the person on his neck.
"Even if you don't fall for it, you can't avoid defeat, because I'm stronger."
The big sword slashed, and in a blink of an eye, it was half a meter in front of him. William raised his sword and slammed it, blocking Samir's greatsword, and handed out his right hand, which stabbed straight forward.
"Not good!" Samir's pupils shrank, and he quickly raised his left arm and bent it in front of his chest.
With a thud, the tip of the sword rubbed against the armor and a spark.
In just one round, a cold sweat oozed from the back of Samir's armor. If he hadn't blocked the attack with his gauntlet just now, the opponent's big sword could not only stab him in the chest, but also sliding up the neck to kill him.
Salvatore has taught them many times before that if an enemy slashes you in the chest with a sword and can't dodge a block. You can fight back regardless of it. Because the chest armor is the thickest and the strongest defense, if the chest armor can't block it, the arm armor can't stop it.
If you take advantage of the situation to counterattack while defending in the chest armor, there is a high probability that you can exchange injuries for lives.
But the premise of this trick is that the opponent's attack is chopping, slashing, smashing, etc., rather than stabbing, teasing, and slashing......
For the armored knights, the neck is the deadliest point.
"Something is wrong... Something is wrong with this Seventeen..."Samir slowly took two steps back, staring warily at William, who was as motionless as a mountain, and saw those eyes through his helmet.
"How did his style change so much, shouldn't he take advantage of the situation after gaining the advantage of one hit, what was he thinking?" It was this unknown that struck him suddenly.
At this moment, Samir suddenly had the feeling of fighting on the battlefield.
He didn't know the slightest bit about the enemy, didn't know his offensive habits, didn't know his weaknesses, didn't know what he thought...... The scary thing is that the other party knows himself very well.
This sucks.
"Seventeen, you yin me!"
“? Can't understand what you're saying. ”
William fought back and did not pursue, but silently felt the momentary change.
Compared with the original body, the strength has increased, the control of timing has improved, and the coordination of the entire body has improved...... It's an all-round boost.
Not only for the improvement of physical fitness, but also for the slight changes in his mind and will.
Seems... It's tougher.
Silently feeling the cheers coming from every cell in his body, William's mind came to mind the title of Safegi, King of Barbarians, King of Blood and Fire, "This is a talent born for battle, and blood and fire can make me stronger." ”
"Thirteen, three more back and forth."
Samir's eyes widened with rage, "Arrogance! Don't think you can beat me with a few tricks, you're almost ready to beat me. ”
"Come on." William spat out a word softly. Then he lifted the sword across his arm and leaned forward, like a bed crossbow with a bowstring full.
Damn it!
How dare you underestimate me!!
Samir was furious when he saw William's sword-wielding posture, which was the most savage.
Although it can be full of instantaneous explosive power, it is too rigid and easy to break, and it often ushers in a sharp weakening after the explosion, and normal knight duels will not use this move, except for the people in the gladiatorial arena. They are either alive or dead when they duel, so they are especially interested in the ability to kill instantly.
"In that case, I'll show you the real gap between us."
Samir took a deep breath that lasted for three seconds, and the majestic air was squeezed into his chest, compressed in layers under the unique method of transport.
This was a trick he had never used in a duel, as it was not at all a move that could be used by an apprentice knight.
At this moment, he is fighting with serious sequelae, and he has to teach Seventeen a lesson.
"Drink!"
Raising his sword and running forward, Samir struggled with his right arm to throw the sword in front of him and hold it with both hands.
Take a step forward and slash in the air.
The air in his chest cavity exploded like a grenade, and the air poured down his body into his arm, immediately causing his arm to swell in a circle, and the green tendons were like earthworms.
"Fighting spirit!"
His lips clenched and he struggled to open and close, spitting out the remaining air and adding power to his attacks by shouting!
This sword is indestructible!
On the other side, Salvatore's originally nonchalant expression was serious, staring at Samir from the moment he took a long breath of air, and when he really used his unique transportation skills, Salvatore's brow frowned slightly.
"How can this technique be taught to the Thirteenth Prince? He's still a knight's apprentice... His mother was so doting. ”
The technique used by Samir is called Fighting Slash, which is a skill that can only be mastered in the knight stage, and can be described as a signature attack method of knights.
An official knight can easily slash a large tree with a fighting energy slash.
"The Seventeenth Prince... Alas, it's a pity ......"
Salvatore didn't think William would be able to take the attack, and despite the brutal slash, it had something unique about it. Although William's performance just now made Salvatore's eyes light up, in front of the fighting spirit, wisdom could not help him.
Use the Fighting Spirit in a duel with a knight's apprentice......
"What a hooligan!"
