"Seattle has such an advantage, so why do you still say Carlos will win? Is it related to the Hammer of Blessing?"
Feeling greatly enlightened, I continued to ask.
"Yes, it's related to the Hammer of Blessing." The old drunkard nodded.
"You probably haven't noticed that Seattle's immune negative state is actually not complete. This kind of immunity based on faith has certain advantages compared to the hegemony taught to you by Galen, but it also has no disadvantages. .”
I nodded. The Overlord Body and Seattle Ke were immune to the negative status generated by their reliance on the pseudo-realm. As the owner, I am very aware of the disadvantages. That is, the Overlord Body cannot move freely, let alone fly high, because it The principle is that the body is connected to the earth veins under the feet, making the enemy feel like they are facing a big mountain. If the body leaves the earth, everything will be in vain.
As for Seattle's surface status immunity, it can be used anytime and anywhere. As long as the pseudo-realm is opened, it does not need to rely on any medium. It can have an effect whether in the air or on the ground. From this aspect, it is indeed better than Domination. The body is much easier to use.
However, what are the disadvantages?
In my confused gaze, Laojiu slowly explained: "With your current ability, you can't detect it without being immersed in the situation. In fact, Seattle's immunity is not perfect, unlike the overlord body." , although it increases the damage suffered by oneself, it is completely immune to negative status. No matter how firm Seattle's belief is, after being attacked by a high-intensity attack, there will be a certain delay in the body's instinct. This is his most deadly flaw."
After a pause, she continued: "I think Carlos who is on the battlefield has noticed or has some intentions, and is slowly confirming this. If it is someone else, or Carlos who has not trained the Hammer of Blessing, Even if he is aware of this, there is nothing he can do about Seattle's short moment of negative status delay. It is too short, even with Carlos's attack speed, it cannot keep up, but..."
"But what about it? You are so fast." The old drunkard said but suddenly stopped at the critical moment. I immediately complained with dissatisfaction.
"Shenghui bottle of fruit wine." The old drunkard laughed evilly. Reach out to me.
"Repay the money in gold coins plus interest." I stretched out my hand to her expressionlessly.
"Tch. Pretend I didn't say it. You guys are stingy for no reason." The old drunkard retracted his hand angrily. He expressed serious contempt for my stubborn character.
yes. I, the third stingy person, am indeed not that good, but as the second stingy person, you and the first stingy person are not qualified to say so.
"But. Carlos who can freely control the Blessing Hammer is different. It is impossible to use Seattle's short physical delay to combo Loss alone. But if you add the Blessing Hammer, there seem to be three or four people at the same time. Continuous attacks. If you want to grasp that little bit of delay, it's naturally not impossible."
"So that's it. Indeed, the power of the flexible blessing hammers surrounding Carlos cannot be underestimated."
"However, there must be a prerequisite." When I nodded in agreement, the old drunkard suddenly said.
"First, Carlos needs to initially master the fusion of the Blessing Hammer. For example, two Blessing Hammers can be fused together. Otherwise, the power of a single Blessing Hammer will not be able to delay Seattle."
"This second one, of course, still depends on luck. To put it simply, even if you can fuse two blessing hammers together, you still have to control two or three blessing hammers to assist your own attacks. A little bit of delay time is connected together. The amount of calculation involved, the accuracy of the manipulation of time and the Blessing Hammer, and the difficulty involved do not need me to explain. You can understand it. Even a genius like Carlos must do it. It just depends on your luck... Oh, look, Carlos is about to take action."
As the old drunkard spoke, he suddenly moved toward the ring. Following her gaze, I also found a clue.
The number of white spots of light surrounding the battlefields of Kalos and Seattle, namely the Hammer of Blessing, was gradually decreasing. There were originally six, but when I looked over, there were already five left, and then ten. After a few seconds, it became four, and it stopped only after it was reduced to three.
If you are an ordinary adventurer, you will definitely think that Carlos's physical strength is insufficient, or he wants to reduce physical exertion. Only a few careful people can discover that the remaining three holy blessing hammers, although the size and light have not changed, but the hammers have The magic runes have become clearer and the texture has become more delicate.
Just as the old drunkard said, Carlos has already figured it out and started to fuse two of his blessed hammers, preparing to find a suitable opportunity to launch the final attack.
Then, after the fight continued for more than fifty seconds, Carlos finally took action.
The large shield that he had been using flexibly to block countless double ax kills from Seattle finally took on another role of the Paladin.
Paladin shield, first level combat skill, heavy hit! !
Although it is only a first-level skill, this [Heavy Attack] is as effective as any aura for the Paladin. The most orthodox leveling method for the Paladin generally uses [Heavy Attack] as the starting move. [Heavy Attack], although it is not like the barbarian's second-level skill [Heavy Attack], which can stun the enemy, but it can forcefully knock the enemy back, distance them, and then follow the second move of the starting hand. , which is the third level [Assault].
Although Carlos's speed is indeed a bit off-beat for his status as a Paladin, but other than that, he can feel an extremely orthodox Paladin tactics everywhere. Although it looks quite satisfactory, Or rigid.
But these things that have been passed down for tens of thousands of years are the most essential moves of the Paladins. Other Paladins don't understand them and think that the new and novel moves are always useful. It's just because they haven't even mastered the orthodox things.
If the foundation is not laid well, how can we talk about innovation? Which genius doesn’t stand on the shoulders of giants and take one step further? Paladin Carlos's simple yet gorgeous performance brought many shocks to the Paladins present.
Of course, what needs to be explained here is that the knockback effect of [Heavy Hit] does not have the corresponding effect on Seattle, who is immune to negative status. It can only make his body delay a little longer.
This little bit is enough.
When [Heavy Attack] was used, the remaining three Blessing Hammers had already whizzed into the battlefield between the two people. By the time Seatlek realized something was wrong, it was too late.
When the heavy blow appeared, Seattle's body paused slightly, and at the moment when he was about to recover, a blessing hammer hit Seattle's, causing his body to pause slightly again. He grasped it just right, and even the old drunkard sitting next to me was ruthless.
A kick on the thigh, saying that this move has revealed the essence of her teacher's martial arts, I am really happy.
I quickly distanced myself from her in disgust. I have seen narcissistic people, but never to this extent.
The second one followed the first one, and in less than one-third of a second, the combined power of the blessing hammer was so much stronger that Seatik couldn't stop it. Then came the third one, and then Carlos. The space blade of the first Blessing Hammer came through the air, and after going around in a circle, it hit Seattle Ke for the first time.
Advanced combos.
A real high-level combo. Although there was an advanced combo by Sharna with agility in the front, and even the dwarf warrior Muradin, who is famous for his slow movements, performed an amazing high-level combo. It stands to reason. To be honest, everyone is already used to it, so they shouldn't show such surprised expressions anymore.
But, fast, too fast. If we say Sharna's advanced combos, they show the beauty of skills, just like a skilled hunter, giving people a feeling of not missing anything, and Muradin's advanced combos , is a heavy sword without an edge. In the slow and tense moves, a calm and simple aura rushes towards the face, making people feel like they are facing a towering mountain that cannot be climbed.
Then Carlos's advanced combo is just a quick word. With the assistance of the Blessed Hammer, he uses the fastest speed to grasp the opponent's fleeting physical delay, so that whether he is facing Sharna's skillful attack Seatac, who was completely immune to advanced combos and Muradin's simple and powerful advanced combos, was unable to fight back.
Sharna has innate skills that far exceed her own level of strength, while Muradin has more than a hundred years of combat experience. Carlos cannot be said to surpass these two in terms of combat skills, only these three Advanced combos each have their own ingenuity, and Carlos's speed-based combos are just enough to restrain Seattle.
Fast, dazzlingly fast. Countless hammer shadows and countless sword lights completely enveloped Seattle's body. Every attack rubbed against the golden ancient armor on his body, and only the sonorous and powerful metal could be heard. A crisp sound came from the shadow of the sword, and Seattlek inside was completely unable to move freely at this time. Like a big iron barrel, it was being hit by Carlos' flash-style advanced combos and was spinning in circles, completely unable to find its direction. .
This was probably the first time since his achievement in the pseudo-domain that he had enjoyed the powerless feeling of having his body controlled by others, being slaughtered by others, and taking life and death under high-level combos.
Situk's six golden arcs, after Carlos started the advanced combo, still rushed forward. Carlos did not dodge, four of them hit his body, and spurted out from his waist, shoulders and calves on the spot. Four bloody arrows.
Although such an injury is not a terrifying scene for an adventurer who is often injured and even has death hanging on his head, but suffering such a serious injury, no matter how strong the willpower of the adventurer, the body will be damaged. He will always tremble unconsciously. Losing a lot of blood will also lower the body temperature and start to slow down his movements.
However, Carlos gritted his teeth and suppressed this unavoidable instinctive reaction of his body. He did not waver in the slightest from his precise attack on Seattle. This kind of willpower and determination made people have to Moved by it.
Fortunately, the six golden arcs of light lost control after passing by Carlos, falling on the protective cover at the edge of the ring, causing ripples to ripple in circles, and the stalemate lasted for nearly ten seconds. Only then was it completely blocked by the so-called domain-level protective cover.
"Is it over?"
The old drunkard let out a long sigh. The scene in front of him seemed to be the end of Seattle.
Although neither the Hammer of Blessing nor Carlos's attack does much damage to Seacoat because of its high frequency, if this level of damage continues, I am afraid that in just over ten seconds, Seacoat will suffer from half health. The system was eliminated, as long as Carlos didn't make a single mistake in these ten seconds.
Not many people thought Carlos would slip up mid-fight with full confidence in the composure and consistency he has shown since the start of the fight.
However, the occurrence of accidents cannot be changed by human will.
Carlos did not make any mistakes, but Seattle, who was surrounded by overwhelming attacks, changed.
A blood-red aura, composed of the Space Blade and the Blessing Hammer in Carlos's hand, spread out from the sword light and sword shadow that flies could not fly out. We could not see it from the sword light that was faster than the other. The changes in Seattle Ke inside, more or less from Caruso's increasingly solemn expression, can be seen that the situation seems to have changed.
Looking at the old drunkard next to her, she had a particularly solemn expression, and in the end she just sighed hard.
"You must be tired too, so why bother?"
I can vaguely feel the unshakable obsession in Seattle's heart, which seems to have been shattered by Carlos. According to the words of the old drunkard, his current situation is on the verge of violence. This reminds me of a word I have experienced before.
Completely berserk!
"Aren't you going to stop him?"
I glanced at the old drunkard and found that she didn't make any move. Could it be that she was just watching two of my students, one of whom fell into complete rage and couldn't extricate himself, and the other, presumably under the other's complete rage, also I can't hold on for long, this is likely to be a two-death situation.
"Stop? Of course we have to stop it, but now is not the time. Although Seattle is on the verge of a mental breakdown, for him, if he can take this opportunity to vent the pain in his heart, it might be an opportunity to break and stand up again. , what happens depends on his own will."
Although the old drunkard spoke carelessly, I could feel from the side that power was brewing in her body and could burst out at any time to stop the two of them.
"It's not easy for you either." I sighed for her.
When Sharna faced Yalo in the quarterfinals, she worked hard and even used a tough attitude to get the Angel referee to change the rules of the game. Now, she had to pay for the two students who were fighting to the death.
"It's good to know, you, it will be the greatest help to me if you let me worry less in the following games." The old drunkard glanced angrily.
From now on, I will definitely not accept any students, even if they have high qualifications, even if they are the sons of the God of Creation, I will never accept them. Seeing such an old drunkard, as a lazy person, I secretly made up my mind.
But why just talk about me? As an old drunkard who is always at odds with Sister Sharna, it is in line with her character to shift the conversation to Sister Sharna.
Forget it, let's put this down for now and focus on the battle situation.
Looking towards the ring, the blood-red aura emanating from Seattle's body was getting stronger and stronger, and Carlos' brows were frowning more and more.
In his surprised eyes, Carlos actually made an astonishing move.
Draw your sword, withdraw your hammer, and step back.
He actually gave up the opportunity that he finally caught and gave up the victory that was within easy reach, which allowed him to make such a decisive judgment. What changes happened to Seattle K?
After the flash of swords and swords dissipated, it was replaced by Seatik, whose whole body was exuding blood mist. The ancient armor on his body had broken through many holes, and it was precisely because of this that his huge changes could be discovered.
Black totems appeared on the exposed parts of his armor, exuding a ferocious aura like a ferocious beast, and his already extremely strong muscles became more and more bulging, and the bulging muscles were as hard as steel. The solid ancient armor was also making a rattling sound, as if it was about to burst at any time.
A solemn air filled the air from the ring, and Seattle's body that curled up and swelled up, emitting a slight beastly roar, was like a cracking giant egg of a ferocious beast that was about to hatch at any time, exuding an ominous atmosphere. An unsettling smell.
It's just a game, there's no need to persist to this level. The death of either of these two genius-level figures is enough to make people feel regretful. Even the adventurers who know what it is to be completely berserk are vaguely worried, and their eyes are The angel referee looked up at the sky, hoping that he could stop this game that had completely gone off the rails.
The Angel referee also seemed to be hesitating, staring closely at Seattle's every move, but he seemed to have discovered something different, and he made no sound while watching.
In this solemn atmosphere, Seattle Ke gradually changed. He did not explode like a murderer. Instead, the blood-red violent aura exuding from his body gradually weakened, and the strips appeared in the bulging muscles, seemingly The veins and blood vessels that were about to burst at any time and the black totems on his body gradually dissipated.
At the same time, the angel referee in the sky and the old drunkard on the side all breathed a heavy sigh of relief, as if a heavy weight had been lifted off their shoulders.
He actually used his own will to pull himself back from the critical line of complete rage. What a terrifying willpower.
"This child has grown up a lot." Matsushita, an old drunkard with a strong mouth, sighed sincerely, and then sighed.
"It's a far cry from some idiot who can't control himself."
"Well--"
When the old drunkard said this, the corner of my mouth suddenly curled up unnaturally with the word "idiot" in my mouth. Who else but me could not argue? At that time, I was tricked by Belial's illusion once, and I watched helplessly. The powerlessness that Vilas and Sarah felt when they died, even now, even if I recall that scene, that feeling, there will be a surge of anger in my heart, and I want to turn into a blood bear to vent it out.
Although I was reckless about that irrational transformation, I have never regretted it.
In response to the old drunkard's teasing, I had no choice but to turn my eyes away like an ostrich and fall on the ring.
Seatik, now completely brought back to his senses from the edge of a completely violent state, knelt down on one knee, supported his huge body with the two axes in his hands, and breathed heavily with a look of exhaustion. It looked as if if the two axes were taken away from his hands, he would immediately lose his support and fall to the ground.
The loss of those six golden arcs, as well as the power consumed by pulling and pulling when he was just completely furious, were enough to drain most of the strength from his body.
"Seaike, I didn't expect...you are indeed a respectable opponent."
Carlos did not take the opportunity to attack, but stood on the opposite side and sighed sincerely. If it were him, he would not have the confidence to pull himself back from the edge of complete violence.
"hey-hey--"
From Seattle's breathing, there was a wry smile with a touch of self-deprecation, but it gave people a feeling of relief, a sense of relief that had relieved the pressure that had been weighing on his heart for a long time. He raised his head with a complicated expression. Looking at Carlos, he suddenly said.
"Carlos, do you know why I am... so obsessed with winning?"
He looked at Carlos, but his eyes were not focused on him, but on the sky further away. The next words were not spoken to Carlos, but rather the memories he muttered to himself.
"The answer is simple. When I was young, I had a very happy family, with parents and an older brother." He showed a warm smile, but then changed, and Seattleke said in a heavy tone.
"But on the day I was four years old, a large number of monsters attacked our village and killed all the guards. At that time, my parents hurriedly hid me in a haystack, and then we took up weapons with my brother and fought with the intruders. The monster fights and is finally killed.”
Unknowingly, there were a lot of tears in Seattlek's eyes, and he held the ax tightly.
"At that time, I was hiding in the haystack, watching them fighting monsters, watching them being killed by monsters, and then being cut apart with knives, including their heads, hands and feet, internal organs, and bones. Then they sat down on the spot and gulped. The heads of father, mother, and brother were swallowed by the monster, with angry expressions on their faces, and chewed up one by one. I still remember that scene clearly...
But at that time, my legs were shaking with fear. There was a hatchet next to me, but I didn’t even have the courage to hold it. I was even so scared that I peed my pants, hahaha——, it’s ridiculous, right? In the eyes of the world, someone is brave. There is a coward like me in the barbarian clan.
Over the years, every time I think about the scene at that time, and after I was saved, when other children curiously asked me, "Why did everyone in the village die but you, Seattle Ke, didn't?", I hated myself for why I didn't It would be better to be eaten by monsters together. What I hate most is not the monsters who eat my relatives, but myself who does not have the courage to take up arms and fight the monsters to the death. So I have sworn that in order to no longer be cowardly, I To become stronger, stronger, be able to face any enemy with dignity, and never lose! ! ! "
As he spoke, Seattle seemed to have gained some kind of strength. He pushed the two tomahawks hard and stood together. He pointed the single ax at Carlos. His straight body and majestic expression made people feel the power from the past. A firm belief bursting from the depths of his soul.
"So, Carlos, I must win against you."
"I can't lose either, and I have reasons why I absolutely can't lose." Carlos clenched the space blade in his hand, exuding the same unshakable belief, staring at Seattle Ke tightly, and said every word.
The clouds in the sky seemed to begin to surge at this moment, and at the same time, both sides facing each other had a smile on their lips.
The excitement of being able to fight such a powerful opponent, and the smile of victory.
