Chapter 112: The Contest Between Magicians
In the past, as a spectator, Josh had not yet felt anything strange about the schedule invited by the four countries.
After all, whether it is a single event or an individual event, the more you get to the later stage, the more you compete a day, Josh also finds it extremely exciting, even if he has only been here once before.
But for the first time as a contestant, Josh felt that this kind of competition system was really nerve-wracking.
For the strong, this format is not a big deal, but it is a great help for their continued performance, but for the average contestant, it is no different from torture.
I only finished today, and I may still be injured and I will have to play the next day, so I have no chance of recovery. However, the invitation of the four countries was originally to eliminate these weak ones and let the strongest people go to the end for a strong showdown, which is understandable.
Josh is considered a strong man, at least on the surface, there are only a few people who are stronger than him, such as Dennis's eldest brother, the first prince of the Dwarven Empire, Modesa, is a dwarf in the middle of the sixth order.
This is the last time a real guy will be invited to the tournament by Shikoku, and he is forty-nine years old this year.
What's more, there is also Visen of the Elven Empire and the eldest princess of the Elven Empire, Avela, both of whom have seen the battle Josh. Wei Sen was dragged by Kane because of his carelessness, but after all, it was the sixth order, and he still won in the end.
And the elven princess Avella, Josh hasn't noticed anything yet, after all, her battle is too simple.
However, her battle mode is enough to give Josh a headache, and the devil knows why this eldest princess is actually a ranger, knowing that her father Ilkako is a magician!
Her opponent was the orc prince Josh knew, Boomred, who had defeated Kane as the prince of the orcs, but he didn't even survive a minute under the eldest princess!
Except for a little resistance at the beginning, and then he was completely led by the eldest princess.
Finally, when he was dizzy, the eldest princess appeared behind him like a ghost, and the dagger full of battle was already against his neck.
Not a minute has come! This fifth-order high-level orc prince failed like this!
One can imagine how shocking it was at that time, even if it was not the first time to see this mysterious elf eldest princess wearing a hood to hide her face, but there were still countless viewers who were shocked by her.
Josh was also in the stands at the time, and to be honest, he was blown away himself.
With his unparalleled speed, his impeccable attack, and his fierce shots, Josh himself didn't know if he could resist it.
But after thinking about it for a long time, Josh didn't bother to think about it, this thing had to be beaten to know.
And Josh could still feel that the elven eldest princess didn't have all her strength at all, but she didn't hide the strength of her strength like Josh, she just didn't have all her strength.
As an elf has their pride, this eldest princess will not deliberately hide herself in order to win future victories, and in their eyes, Josh's actions can be regarded as despicable.
Of course, there's nothing to say about that, and as Josh said, arenas are meant to win and do anything to win.
And Josh's opponent in the eight-in-four match is not the eldest princess, the eldest princess's opponent is Modesa, the eldest prince of the Dwarven Empire. Then Josh's opponent is naturally the one who defeated his brother, the last champion Wisson.
Although Josh is not a strong man on the surface, he is indeed a slacker, and he has to fight for a long time, which makes Josh depressed to death.
To be honest, he'd rather spend more time with Natasha and them than fight this group of honor-hungry guys.
Well.... It seems that Josh's opponent this time seems to have come to pursue a woman, and there is not much difference between him and Josh in essence.
But Josh is also quite annoying, and it is better to sit down and play a GWENT card than to fight or something, but it seems that this world does not have such a thing.
Stretching out, he listened to the host's passionate speech—Josh really felt that there was nothing to be passionate about, and the host finally finished what he had to say.
The atmosphere was warm and cheering, after all, none of them who could go to the top four were simple existences, and all of them were the focus of everyone's attention!
Especially Josh, as a cosplayer among the Shadow Guardians, plus he is still the only human left until now, he has received a lot more attention.
Although the kingdom of Kars is a country of the Grand Alliance, with many races, after all, the rulers of this place are humans, and this country is also dominated by humans.
Shaking his head, Josh walked straight into the arena, which he had been like since the knockout round as the first contestant anyway, and this time he was no exception. Josh, who had long been accustomed to it, walked straight into the arena, although this arena was not the one he had played before.
The previous arena was a half-ruined state, and in the final analysis, Josh did a good job.
Of course, he was not the only culprit, but he did too much in that arena, dealing with the large-scale magic used by Dennis, the large-scale magic used against the orc prince, and when he fought with Jonas, he directly collapsed the arena.
This also forced the Kingdom of Kars to move the venue of the tournament to the current place, of course, they had planned to move here for a long time.
Because this arena is a brand new gladiator arena, the kingdom of Kars intended to use it as a venue for the finals, but unfortunately, the previous arena was destroyed and it had to be used in advance.
The previous match between Avira and Boomred was held here, and Josh didn't know about it, and even if he did, he would only smile awkwardly and politely, and then it wouldn't be over.
Money? That's impossible, not to mention that Josh won't pay attention to them at all, and the people of the Kells Kingdom don't dare to ask Josh for it.
"It's really troublesome."
Standing in the middle of the arena, Josh looked at the oncoming Wesson, tilted his head, and Josh's expression began to slowly become serious.
Vison Silvermoon can be regarded as the strongest opponent Josh has faced so far, and the strongest person to fight him before this is only Kane.
"Are you His Highness Josh? Nice to meet you, my name is Weisen. It seemed that he noticed that Josh's expression was a little serious, or that he felt Josh was a little nervous, so he smiled slightly, as if trying to lighten the mood.
"I know you, after all, you defeated my brother Kane."
'Of course, Kane is a good opponent and a very good friend, and I'm honored to know him.
"You're friends?"
"Didn't he tell you?"
"Not really."
Josh touched his head, Kane really didn't tell himself that Vieson was friends with him.
And according to Josh's feelings, Kane has always regarded Wieson as his own opponent, or the most dangerous one, so Josh never thought that the two of them would become friends.
But now that Vieson said it, Josh felt as if he had misunderstood the relationship between the two of them.
Of course, whether Kane is unhappy with Weisen in his heart, but for the sake of face engineering, he is more humble or something, so that Weisen thinks that it is kindness from Kane, and this Josh is not clear.
"It seems that Kane is still very unhappy about losing to me all the time. I can understand that, after all, losing to me so many times, it would be uncomfortable to be anyone. ”
"Are you familiar with that? As a non-royal, shouldn't you sign up for the play-in tournament yourself? ”
"Sure, but I've known Kane for over a decade, and we're about the same age as you are now. I couldn't compete at the time, but I did have him as his sparring partner. ”
"You're his sparring partner?"
"Uh-huh, isn't that weird?"
Of course it's weird! As a child of the Silver Moon Family, one of the three major families of elves, it makes sense for you to go to a prince as a sparring partner, but it is really strange for you to be a sparring partner for the opponent of your country.
But Josh didn't bother to say anything, and when the fight was over, it would be clear to go back and ask Kane.
Josh guessed why Wieson left Kane with some unconfidence, a friend of his own, who had been acting as a sparring partner, suddenly participated in a competition one day, and then beat himself up, and Josh would also doubt life.
But that's not something Josh should be concerned about, as the referee has already explained the rules and started asking if both sides are ready.
Josh naturally understood what he meant by such an inquiry, so he quickly concentrated his energy and was always ready for the start of the battle.
"Don't stress Josh, I'm not going to hurt you." Wieson smiled slightly at the sight of Josh's state.
"You seem to be able to win against me, don't forget that you were forced by that guy Kane."
"It's true that you're strong, and Kane is strong. Kane's tactical play is the way to learn from the prince of the dwarven empire, and to be honest, he still uses it against you, which is actually fine for me, as long as I get used to it, it's fine, but his ability to fly surprised me. ”
"Meaning you're meeting Kane, won't you be so embarrassed?"
"Of course, it's not really embarrassing. Kane is my friend, I won't hurt him, he uses flying and he's fast, so I went with him. But I didn't expect this guy to hide a hand here, if I had known, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been fooled and my magic power was consumed in vain, but I didn't play it to my full strength. ”
"I'm looking forward to it."
Josh smiled, you didn't play at your best, did I play my best?
Although this guy Weisen has a feeling of bathing in the spring breeze, but after Josh met Elon and them, Josh always felt that this guy was not mature at all, and he only learned some of the advantages of the elf.
A proud elf will never directly say how good they are, but they will show their strength from other places, such as their arrogance and so on.
But it doesn't matter, everyone is a sixth order, and Josh suddenly has some expectations.
"In the future, sooner or later, I will have to go to some powerful worlds, and I am afraid that the enemies I encounter will become more and more disgusting, so it is also a very good choice to adapt in advance."
Smiling slightly, Josh ignored Wesson, who also became a little serious.
He'd heard Josh's story, and he'd confirmed it with Kane, so he's completely sure of Josh's talent. Of course, he didn't think he would lose, although Josh was amazingly talented, but Josh had only studied for a year in the end, and he was different!
Both sides are concentrating and guarding each other, which also indicates that a big war is coming.
It's a battle between magicians!
