To be honest, it might make Gianna a little depressed. Today's competition actually did not consume much physical energy from Yin Ruil.
But rules are rules. In order to keep Yin Ruil in the best condition to participate in the battle, Sarlayan made an agreement with her that she can only challenge one person every day.
Valeela was not surprised that she was chosen second. After all...compared to the two dragons who knew at first sight that they were not easy to mess with, and Sharlayan who took the initiative to give hints, she was smaller like Jaina. She seems to be easier to deal with.
Of course, the thinness mentioned here is in contrast to the tall and strong Draini.
Valeera and Jaina's figures are actually quite standard. They are thin where they should be, and there should be flesh where they should be... Well, Sarlayan can only say that they feel great.
【? ? ? 】
【Caught off guard! 】
[Holy shit...can you drive on this broken road? 】
Ignoring the restlessness of some of the singles in the barrage, Sharlayan smiled and turned around to leave with Tinargosa on his shoulders. Jaina also took his arm and followed closely.
Valira, who was in a calm mood, waved encouragingly to Yin Ruil, who was still there.
Because today's victory was so easy, Yin Ruil still seemed a little unsatisfied. His warlike eyes were fixed on Valeela's retreating back.
'So confident? You're not just crazy and confident like Gianna, right? '
…
The next morning, when Yin Ruil, who was full of expectations, arrived at the temporarily designated sparring location fully armed, Valeela, who had finished warming up in advance, had already changed out of her cool holiday clothes and put on the dragon suit kindly provided by Saberian. Leather armor.
[Sabrian: Thank you so much! 】
[One thing to say is that Lao Sha died too early on Sharlayan's side. Obviously there is still a plot for him in version 10.0. 】
[That’s right, in this timeline anyway, it’s not his turn to be the one to talk to the Black Dragon clan. 】
As the temporary referee, Saryan, still wearing a beach suit, first checked whether both sides were ready.
After receiving affirmative answers from the two of them, Sarlayan raised his right hand and waved down: "Start!"
Valeela immediately entered the stealth state after the battle started, and Yin Ruir also knew enough not to interrupt. This is the prerogative of thieves when planting flags in 1V1.
Yin Riel had killed many orc thieves during the war between the Draini and the orcs. She originally thought that Valeela would choose to sneak up and observe the weak points first, and find the right opportunity before attacking.
But Valeera, who also had a lot of combat experience, did the opposite. She predicted Yin Ruier's prediction, and the next second after entering the stealth state, she handed out two pistols from behind Yin Ruier. Short sword.
Yin Ruier: "!
! "
The cold threat that suddenly came from behind made Yin Ruier's nerves tense immediately. Because her reaction was half a beat too slow, it was too late to turn back and raise her shield. She could only rely on her combat intuition to dodge sideways at the critical moment.
"Bah!"
Quel'Sera, with no light on the blade, easily tore open the golden plate armor on Yin Ruil's left abdomen. The sharpness of the artifact-level weapon made cold sweat break out on Yin Ruil's back.
Although she narrowly escaped the first round of attacks, the moment she passed by, Valeera, who had already been prepared to pursue, turned around nimbly and stabbed Yin face to face with two short knives. Riel's face, neck, elbows and other joints that are not covered by armor.
In his haste, Yin Ruil couldn't clearly see Valeela's attack path, so he could only raise the unfolded Holy Light Shield to protect his upper body.
"Kaka~"
Yesterday, when facing Jaina's spell bombardment, Yin Ruir's shield completed the defensive task very well and defended it watertight.
But when facing Valeela, who had formulated a shield-breaking strategy in advance, this epic-quality shield seemed a bit inadequate.
As a thief, the destructive power Valeela can cause with a single attack is not as powerful as that of powerful warriors and paladins, but this does not mean that the explosive power of thieves is weak.
Seeing that Yin Ruir raised his shield to defend as expected, Valeela immediately changed her action strategy and stabbed the same position three times with the dagger in both hands within one second.
With the help of the repulsive force of the shield's defense, Valeela's three attacks became faster and faster each time.
Under Yin Ruil's horrified gaze, the holy light shield with good defense was completely penetrated by Valeela's third attack.
Through the first round of attacks, the armor-piercing ability of Valeela's artifact dagger has been proven.
If Yin Ruir hadn't turned her head to avoid the attack at the critical moment, her helmet would have been cut open and two wounds would have been left on her face.
Although the surprise attack failed, Valeera did not continue to stalk him in a hurry.
She made full use of the forward momentum after drawing the sword with both hands, kicked the shield and used the momentum to jump back, and entered the silent stealth state again before landing.
"Hoo! Hoo!"
After this round of fighting, Yin Ruil, who was still in shock, took two heavy breaths.
'What a quick release! The adaptability is definitely not comparable to that of the inexperienced scholar yesterday! '
Glancing at the damaged part of the shield out of the corner of his eye, Yin Ruier said bitterly: 'Could it be that... I picked the wrong opponent? Will I lose the next day? '
While Yin Ruil was concentrating on preparing for the subsequent attack, Valeera, who was sneaking, also frowned.
'The response was very quick, far beyond my expectations. It is more about natural fighting instinct than experience. '
'The Destined Daughter of the Draenei? Haha~ There is really no wrong nickname. '
There is not much difference in strength between Valeera's Yin Riel, and Yin Riel can completely make up for it by relying on his racial advantages and God-given fighting instincts.
However, in the ensuing battle, Yin Ruir was completely suppressed by the experienced Valeela.
Yin Riel has indeed participated in many actual battles in the war with the orcs, but compared with Valeera, who has followed Sharlayan around the world and fought against all kinds of strange enemies, her combat experience is far behind. Not as good as that.
Valeela's unpredictable fighting rhythm made Yin Ruir very uncomfortable.
Although Valeera did not deliberately make a fuss about Yin Ruil's injured leg, as the battle lasted longer, Yin Ruil finally realized firsthand how hard Velen had worked to keep her away from the battlefield.
When fighting enemies of the same level, Yin Ruil's disabled right leg obviously couldn't keep up with the rhythm.
Under Valeera's oppressive attacks that kept changing fast and slow rhythms, her dodging figure became more and more clumsy.
Sarlayan, who was watching with cold eyes, made a conclusion to the women beside him: "It's over."
As soon as Sarlayan finished speaking, Yin Ruil stumbled unsteadily. Valeela did not miss this opportunity and quickly put the short knife on her neck.
Yin Ruier, who was covered in sweat, shook his head with a wry smile: "I lost, and I am convinced that I lost."
After the battle, Valeera put away her stern expression, smiled and pulled Yin Ruil up from sitting on the ground.
"You are indeed the most beautiful apprentice of Prophet Velen. If it weren't for your injured leg, this battle would have lasted even longer."
After regaining his footing, Yin Ruil paused his sluggish right leg on the ground and smiled to himself: "It's just lengthening it. You will be the one to win in the end."
Valeera didn't say anything. She was confident that she could turn Yin Ruil's prediction into reality, but there was no need to tell the truth with low emotional intelligence at this time.
"Ms. Valeera, can you answer a question for me?"
Valeera: "Of course, please tell me."
Yin Ruil, who was still breathing heavily, turned to look at Stellagosa on the sidelines: "Leave aside Sarlayan and the black dragon lady, who is stronger between you and the blue dragon lady?"
"Well..."
Valeela also followed Yin Ruil's gaze and hesitated for a moment but did not answer immediately.
"Valeela is embarrassed to answer, so let me speak."
Stellagosa, who has a gentle personality, chuckled and took over the words: "If it is a regular battle such as daily sparring, we will win or lose each other."
"But if it's a life-or-death fight where all the cards are used... I will definitely be the one standing at the end."
Valeera did not refute, but just shrugged with a wry smile: "There is no way, this is the decisive gap in physical fitness between dragons and mortals, and it cannot be reversed by human power."
Sarlayan comforted him: "You don't have to belittle yourself. When you all cross that threshold, the dragon's physical advantage will be greatly diluted, and you will return to the same starting line."
Yin Ruil asked with emotion: "So I didn't choose the wrong target, but I just lacked the strength?"
"Uh~"
Sarlayan and the others looked at each other, and Tinagosa, the most forthright person, answered Yin Ruil's question with a smile.
"That's right~ So you still need to keep working hard."
"You don't have to be so depressed~ After all, Valeera has already entered the demigod realm with one foot, and is the undisputed pinnacle of mortal combat power."
Yin Ruier: "...Although this is the truth, it still feels a bit heartbreaking."
