Chapter 83: This is the only one
Tails remembers his first meeting with the Meteorite.
Six years ago, the prince had seen Nicolas in his hellish senses: a silver humanoid with a pinprick light, the power of the end flickering in the man's body, pulling the castration and direction of the other person at any time, bringing erratic movements and shapes.
At that time, even if Tails wanted to break his head, even if he calculated all the changes in the direction of the opponent's speed trajectory, he still sadly found that his weak self could not escape Nicolai's attack - even if the opponent was barehanded.
And now, six years later......
"Bang!"
Nicola's punch came in an instant, slamming into Tails' shield.
Under the loud sound, Tails shook all over!
But he gritted his teeth, stepped on his hind legs, and withstood the blow.
In the hellish senses, the silver figure in front of Tails' eyes flickered.
The prince tensed his nerves.
As expected, the second wave of attacks, the Meteorite's left fist, landed in front of him without pause!
Tails prepared to retreat as usual.
But at that moment, Wya's words from training in the courtyard passed over his ears:
[Your Highness, you can't always retreat or resist: in Valhalla, Kalabyan and I fought against that big guy like this, we were too afraid of the attack of the rising Japanese saber, and blindly avoided the battle, but ultimately failed - defense is not to give up, but to prepare for the next attack. 】
Phew—Nicola's fist stirs up a terrifying wind!
Tails took a deep breath.
The next moment, he met the opponent's fist with an awe-inspiring expression, grabbed a step, and attacked the side attack style in the Northland military swordsmanship!
The blade of the sword forced Nicola's offensive to stagnate.
But the Falling Star's response was beyond his imagination: while dodging the blade of the sword, the opponent also changed his left hand and slashed his sword-wielding right wrist!
With the help of the Hell's senses, Tails watched the movements of this Extreme Realm master, and admired in his heart: Sure enough, the defense is not just retreating.
Nicolais, for example, has an aggressive next move in every defense, even if he is retreating to dodge, the opponent never wants to avoid damage, but to deal damage.
Thinking of this, Tails gritted his teeth again, pushed out his shield, and slammed into the opponent's left arm!
The third set of defensive style of the Northland military swordsmanship - counterattack style.
Swing your shield, it's called defense, but it's for the next counterattack!
"Bang!"
Under the collision, the muffled sound was heard again.
His left hand was slightly numb and his whole body shook, but Tails roared, trying to stab a sword that counterattacked!
But Nikole's movements were faster and stranger than expected.
I saw that his left arm was against the shield, but the whole person rushed forward without pause, and in the center of the shield, it was a powerful knee!
"Boom!"
Tails only felt his breath suffocated!
In the next second, he snorted in pain and fell two meters away with his shield.
"Very nice. The bare hand Nicolai had the same expression, pinching the joints of his hands, his eyebrows furrowed imperceptibly.
"It's the best you've ever had in a lot of training sessions. ”
The Meteorite slowly approached and smiled ill-willedly: "At least I have some sense of battle, no longer a blind man wielding a sword and a coward raising a shield." ”
Tails struggled to get up, shook his numb left hand, picked up his shield again, and said with a wry smile: "It's your sudden change of direction with the power of the end......"
"Again?"
The Meteorite shook his head, as if he didn't want to waste time:
"It's over soon, I still want to have lunch. ”
Tails took a hard breath, swallowed the pain, and reopened the "response style".
Northland military swordsmanship.
He suddenly remembered what Gilbert told him when he first learned swordsmanship: [This set of swordsmanship is for the purpose of fighting with ...... Born of fighting against a terrifying adversary far superior to humans...... Huge disadvantage...... Desperate Battle...... Mortal Resistance...... Suicide Charge ......】
He looked at Nicolas who was getting closer and closer in front of him, and sighed in his heart: far beyond the human ...... Terrible opponents?
No, it's more than that.
The back of another mysterious man appeared in Tails' mind: [With absolute disadvantage, how did humans defeat the ancient orcs? and how did they win the battle of the end?]
[The real powerhouse...... Seek hope in a desperate situation, win a reversal in a loss, sublimate a good situation into a sure victory, and turn the unexpected and unexpected into your own help......]
【...... Grasp all the useful and useless factors, grasp every possible chip, and drop the most critical one, so as to change the ...... of the whole battle]
Tails took two deep breaths and shook his dizzy head.
My chips, my chances......
Yes, there is.
Merely......
Only once.
In the next second, Tails roared angrily and rushed towards his opponent again!
Shoot out the sword!
Nicollet knew him too well.
Every time he trained outdoors, the Starfall had a smile on his face and knocked him down in a variety of ways.
At each raid, the Meteorite relied on his skills to play with him to applause.
Every time he tried to provoke, the Meteorite was fully prepared to test the level of his entourage.
So......
Tails' pupils shrank.
So that's the biggest weakness of the Meteorite!
He is too "familiar" with himself.
"Come on!"
Tails' face contorted, his teeth clenched, both roaring in his mouth and calling in his heart.
Come, my companion.
Sins of the River of Hell!
The familiar fluctuations are surging, and after six years of experience, it spreads throughout the body in an instant, in a faster, more stable, and smoother way.
"Again?"
Looking at the rushing Tails, Nicollet sneered: "The same way, the same ending." ”
The Meteorite stepped hard and hedged towards Tails.
He easily dodged Tails' stab and punched the prince in the face!
The fist wind whistled.
Tails, trembling, swung his shield once more - counterattack.
Swing your opponent's fist.
But this time, it's different.
This time, I need strength.
Strength!
The boy thought coldly.
The Sins of the River of Hell, "excitedly" surged up his arm.
Shields and Iron Fists collide again!
"Bang!"
Nicolai's sneer remained: "As I say, the little prince ......"
But just a quarter of a second later, his laughter came to an abrupt end.
Because an unprecedented force is coming from the shield on the opposite side!
Shake his fists and body.
Nicola's face changed drastically!
How—Nikolai looked at the roaring prince in shock, and he was forced to retreat under the force of the force, and took one more step to stabilize his figure—what was going on?
This kind of strength......
Nikolai was shocked and pressed against the shield, and his left elbow instantly counterattacked!
But before he could figure it out, Tails roared again, "Starfaller!"
I need a reaction.
React!
The sins of the River of Hell happily flooded over his eyes, brain, and sword hand, forming a synchronized connection.
At this moment, the roaring Tails seemed to anticipate the opponent's movements, and the moment the Starfall moved, the blade of the sword suddenly came and pointed at Nicola's castration!
Nicolai was shocked again - at this momentum, the other party would pierce his left lung.
This prince who can't fight at all...... How could he respond so quickly?
But the experienced and skilled Meteorite responded in a short instant: at the cost of giving up the attack, he quickly turned around and gave way to the sword.
But his opponents don't think so.
At last.
Tails thought coldly:
I need speed.
Velocity!
Deadly speed!
In a flash, the remaining sins of the Hellriver roared like a beast out of its cage and rushed to Tails' arm muscles.
Ignite a terrible flame inside, burning out the power of the explosion.
"Ahhhh
Tails' roar was still there, unstoppable, as if he was going to exhaust the strength of his life here.
"Whoosh!"
In an instant, his blade brought a piercing wind.
A sudden flash in the meteorite's field of vision.
It's as if it's gone.
At that moment, Nikolai, who was already shocked, suddenly stood on end!
A long-lost chill hit my heart.
It is a sense of crisis that can only be found in the face of a strong enemy and on the battlefield.
A chill suddenly appeared on his left chest.
Worst.
Worst!
The next moment, Nicolai gritted his teeth with great difficulty, frantically urging his finishing power, restraining the momentum of his dodge, and turning to the other side of the blade!
No!
The next second.
"Whew!"
The sound of a blade cutting through flesh was heard.
"Plop!"
It's the muffled sound of the human body rolling to the ground.
After two sounds, Tails slammed his sword into the ground, trying to maintain his balance.
He withdrew from the sinful state of the Hell, which included the senses of hell.
"Ha-ah-ah-ah-"
The boy held on to his shield and pressed most of his weight on it, gasping for breath as he tried to relieve his muscle aches and dizziness as the sins of the Prison River faded.
At the last moment, Nicolai's figure turned strangely, tilted his head back, and with an embarrassed roll, dodged the sword aimed at the heart.
Trembling, Tails gritted his teeth and looked at the other side in pain.
There, the Starfall fell to one knee on the ground, staring at him in disbelief and holding out his palms in a daze.
In the next second, a short streak of blood spread from the left cheek of the meteorite to the chin, oozing red liquid.
Drop by drop, blood fell into Nicolai's trembling palm.
The Meteorite seemed to be completely stunned.
How can it be?
He...... The prince who never fought......
Touching the wound on his face, feeling the pain he hadn't felt for a long time, the Meteorite looked up in anger.
He stared at the pale, gasping Prince of the Stars, trying to make sense of what was in front of him.
That garbage that can't even stand a punch of his own......
How......
Why did it suddenly ......
Suddenly......
Tails shook his head vigorously, trying to shake away the brief stun.
There is unwillingness.
Damn it......
Damn it!
Even if you try your best......
Still can't do it...... Give him ......
A few seconds later, the embarrassed Meteorite took two breaths to calm himself.
"No, this power, this reaction ......"
He frowned tightly, and there was deep suspicion in his eyes: "It's not something you can do at all." ”
Nicolai's expression was filled with disbelief:
"That was just now...... The power of the end?"
Tails, with his sword, gave him a feeble smile.
The teenager now only wants more nonsense from his opponents.
I had to get myself through the sin of the river of hell and used the short-term after-effects of overuse - numbness and soreness.
I saw the meteorite's face solemn: "But ......"
"But when did your awakening end......"
"Haha......"
Tails interrupted him with two chuckles.
The numb prince could no longer hold the long sword, so he took the initiative to let go of the hilt of the sword, shook his hand tremblingly, and tried his best to pretend to be at ease:
"It was a long time ago. ”
"Surprised?"
Nicolas slowly stood up, his expression becoming more and more serious.
Watching the other party get up, Tails' hand on the shield trembled slightly.
"So, the swiftness with which you snatched the book in front of the stable that day, and the strength you showed during that training......" Nikolai stared at him tightly, ignoring the blood on his face, "None of it was accidental?"
"You have the power of the end...... You've been hiding it from us, from the eyes and ears of the entire Valhalla, for so many years?"
Tails snorted out laughing—his numb limbs were regaining consciousness, and six years of exercise were still more or less effective, if not progressive, at least the body was getting used to the cost of the sins of the Prison River.
"I'm sorry to say that, but. ”
The prince shook his head and put the hilt of his sword back on: "There are many things you don't know. ”
The anger on Nicolai's face slowly turned into pure annoyance: "So, so many outdoor training sessions...... You've been beaten so badly and you haven't used it once?"
"Strength is not for the audience to see," Tails gently shook his right hand that had returned to normal, wiping the cold sweat from his face: "If you can't use it in the most critical places......
"Then just hide and confuse your enemies. ”
Nicolai laughed angrily and reached out and slammed his hand into his face.
His pale face, stained with blood, began to redden.
"I knew, little prince, that you had always regarded us as enemies—from the first day you arrived in Longxiao City. ”
"You are cunning and insidious by nature," the Meteorite's eyes almost burst into flames, and the pain on his face reminded him of the fact that he had been hurt by a weak man, and made the proud man even more annoyed:
"God knows how much you've been hiding from us for the past six years. ”
Tails scoffed.
"And you, Starfall," he said, taking a deep breath and slowly standing up, drawing his sword from the ground, "how much of the truth have you and Lisban, and even the late King Nunn, hidden from me in six years?"
Nicolas breathed stiffly.
Facing the prince's meaningful gaze, he held out his hand steadily and reached behind his back with suppressed anger.
This time it was Tails' turn to change his face!
"I apologize to you," the Meteorite drew his weapon from his back with a sharp look at the scars on his face as he scraped against the metal and leather, his words full of caution, "I was wrong, I didn't think of this as a battle." ”
"It's me who underestimated you. ”
"Awakened the power of the end before the age of fourteen - Tails Bright Star. ”
Tails looked worriedly at the long, narrow saber in Nicollet's hand that reflected the golden hue.
The one that was in the hands of the previous owner, which had been attached to his neck and threatened his life...... Legendary anti-demon armament.
Rising Japanese saber.
It's terrible.
"Are you sure?"
Tails stubbornly raised his shield, "I've heard Waiya talk about that razor-sharp weapon—cutting everything, right?" ”
Nicolai began to sneer, but there was a sense of hideousness.
"Don't worry, I won't activate its powers—lest I lose my hand and accidentally slice your head open. ”
He raised the Japanese saber flatly, the blade pointed directly at Tails, and his eyes were rare seriousness and solemnity: "And didn't I say it." ”
"No matter how badly you fight......"
"I'll leave that hand for you. ”
The next moment, Nikolai's face changed, and his figure instantly left the place!
A nervous Tails took a sharp breath and instantly entered the hellish senses.
In the field of vision, the silver figure flashed with a hasty light, striking at him.
The battle is back!
But this time, the speed and angle of the Meteorite's attack were far beyond Tails' imagination - the blade instantly soared in front of him!
Feeling threatened, the sin of the Prison River automatically boiled.
The nervous Tails immediately raised his sword and blocked the first slash of the Meteorite mercilessly!
"Bell!"
Looking at the golden saber that stayed in front of him, Tails felt a chill run through his back, and he couldn't help but think: If this thing could really fuse everything as Waiya said, then wouldn't he have ...... by now
Without the slightest room to think, Nicollet let out a low roar, holding a knife in both hands, and the whole person pressed towards Tails with the blade!
Tails only felt a weight in his hand, and he was about to lose his balance, and his heart tightened, and he subconsciously used a side attack to slide away from his opponent's slash.
But Nicola's attack did not stop at all, and I saw him follow the momentum of being sliding, kicking forward, and slamming into his right shoulder!
"Boom!"
Tails grunted hard.
He managed to hide himself behind a shield before the other party crashed into his arms, and stubbornly resisted the enemy's impact.
"Kick, kick, kick!"
The great momentum struck, and the prince held his face, pressed his elbow against the shield, and took three steps backwards in a row.
Thanks to the increase in Sins of the Hell, he was not knocked down by the opponent's experienced impact.
"A true warrior is trained in licking blood from the edge of the knife," Nicolai pressed half of his body against his shield, an uncomfortable angle that made it difficult for Tails to draw his sword, and he could only grit his teeth against the other party, only to hear the angry voice of the Meteorite:
"State, Mind, Experience, Strain, Body...... Indispensable. ”
"You only know how to train on targets - it's still far from it!"
With Nicola's roar, Tails, who was wrestling with his opponent with all his might, suddenly felt the shield on his elbow light!
He couldn't help but take a step forward.
In the Senses of Hell, the Meteorite instantly appeared on his defenseless left side, and with an elbow of his right hand, he struck him on the head!
Tails is a spirit.
He subconsciously threw away his shield, and the Sins of Hell surged up on his elbow and stabbed Nicolai in an attempt to deflect the killer blow.
However, the silver spike of light in the Meteorite's body flashed again.
Within half a second, the Meteorite who was attacking to his left was abruptly stunned, and his figure instantly turned back!
Tails was stunned—his left elbow had just swung out, and his right hand holding the sword was too late to recover.
He didn't have time to defend himself.
At that second, in the time that slowed down in the senses of hell, Tails looked in shock at the opponent who had seized the initiative and was only one last blow away.
It was only seven or eight seconds before Nicolai took the initiative to attack.
Even counting the injuries on Nicollet's face, it was only the second round
That's fast.
Tails sighed in his heart.
The corners of Nicolai's mouth twitched, and his scarred cheeks curled into a smirk.
That's the difference.
Brat.
...... between the Transcendent and the Extreme The difference between a thin line.
Victory or defeat is only in the blink of an eye.
In the next moment, Nicollet roared and reversed the hilt, slamming into his opponent's forehead and at Tails, who was unable to defend himself.
"Bang!"
There was a frightening, muffled sound.
The scene fell silent.
But Tails didn't fall.
It was Nicola, who once again looked in amazement at the young rival in front of him.
He prepares to strike the hilt of the enemy's sword, first hitting a palm before hitting Tails' forehead.
It's Tails' left hand.
It was his left hand, which he had just swung out so hard that he couldn't pull it back.
This left hand, at this moment, moved to the prince like a miracle instantaneously, and withstood the enemy's blow.
Tails was covered in a cold sweat and trembled slightly, and stopped Nicolais.
At that moment, the meteorite couldn't believe his eyes.
No way.
I used the twist of fate to give a great blow when he was exhausted and unable to defend himself.
was actually ...... by him Blocked?
But the meteorite didn't hesitate or think too much.
Kaslan had told him that if the first sword didn't kill the enemy, then ......
"Ahh
Nicolai roared in rage, and the power of the end was activated again, driving his movements, as if ignoring inertia, pumping and slashing!
Tails took a sharp breath and watched as his opponent's blade stepped forward, instantly slamming into his defenseless leg.
"Bell!"
The sound of metal clashing sounded.
Nicolai's blade was pinned down to his thigh by Tails' sudden appearance of his sword.
Nicolais's pupils shrank.
No way.
No way!
The Meteorite's finishing power surged from his joints, and his movements flickered again!
The blade snapped towards Tails' neck again.
"Qiang ......"
The second metal clash echoed in the ears of the two of them.
Tails gasped—this time, with both hands in front of his neck, his sword up and down, parrying Nicola's throat block.
Nicollet stared at him blankly.
His eyes were full of shock.
I forgot even the desire to strike again.
This......
"Huh!"
With the last of his strength, Tails pushed Nicolai back with a sword, then threw himself to his knees with a thud.
The prince gasped, mingled with groans of pain.
But the Meteorite was stunned.
"You...... Just ......"
Nicollet blinked, staring blankly at Tails, who looked on the ground with an ugly expression and sweating profusely, as if he was enduring torture.
He opened his mouth slightly, wanting to speak and stopping, his expression extremely complicated.
Tails was just gasping for air—as if those few blows had almost killed him.
Eventually, the surprised Nicolas spoke:
"The ...... you just used to block me"
He frowned fiercely: "No, what ......is your finishing power?"
Tails gradually eased his breathing, and when he heard this, he squeezed out a smile weakly: "Hahaha......"
Nicolas remained staring at him, motionless.
Tails was still on his knees, one hand on the ground, and the other trembling with his sword raised.
"Oh, you're talking about...... This?"
The prince took a sharp breath, and in an instant, his face turned even paler!
But the blade of his sword slashed out to the side, and his movements were impressive.
But halfway through the sword, the blade turned strangely, fell instantly, and slashed straight into the ground.
"Bell!"
Nicolas watched in amazement.
I heard Tails laugh weakly: "Floating around, unpredictable, sudden change of direction?"
"It's ......," the Meteorite muttered, nailing his sword to the ground.
"Haha, this is a rare Extreme Realm master," Tails raised his head weakly, staring at Nikolai with a wonderful expression in a nervous manner, and reluctantly said, "It's been a stunt that has been demonstrated to me every week for six years." ”
According to him, this is a rare finishing force in history. ”
Tails smiled again - no one knew that at this moment, almost all the muscles in the prince's body were rebelling, pain, soreness, numbness, pain, twitching, all kinds of sensations hit at the same time.
It's just hard to put into words.
The Meteorite's face grew more and more ugly.
The prince smiled more and more happily, and continued, "There is only one in the Northland. ”
Tyres, who was holding back the pain, squinted slightly:
"The name is called - the twist of fate. ”
At that moment, Nicolai's expression almost melted into the freezing ice.
"You should be honored. ”
Tails smiled lightly again, carefully observing the turbulent Nicolai at this moment:
"Because he told me. ”
"Most of the people who have seen it are dead. ”
