Sonya finally let Luke stand on the training ground with some uneasiness.
Out of a well-intentioned invitation, Sonya seriously promised that she would not make a mistake, and even swore it in the name of Bulcasso.
But only she knows whether the "Bulkess" she calls is the first ancestor who used her as a sacrifice, or another guy she is chasing after.
Luke believes that evading is not a good option, and escaping will only make him feel better temporarily.
Only by facing difficulties can we solve them.
Even Madoc didn't say anything about it.
The oath was solemn, and the one who witnessed it was Oathkeeper Andakulgas.
That's enough.
The Oath Keepers will make anyone who breaks their oath pay, no matter who it is.
The two of them did not have high-quality weapons in their hands, but just two recruits' hand axes that they took out casually.
It seems that the teaching battle does not need to be taken too seriously. By the way, Sonya also gave Luke the shield as an option.
This was Sonya's first time training someone else, so she was quite well prepared.
If the training hadn't started suddenly, she would have also planned to call Aunt Mala as medical support.
Madoc is now standing serious and observing not far away, holding his sorrow in his hand, ready to charge at any time.
A pair of eyes was looking at Sonya, trying to find some evidence that could reassure him.
Sonya, who had just recovered from her injuries, was relatively dangerous, but in this completely unequal teaching battle, there would probably be no omissions until Luke exceeded Sonya's expectations.
As long as Sonya does not encounter pressure, then this coaching training is still guaranteed.
But Madoc was still a little worried.
Luke is not a genius, but as a talent, he is one of the top ones.
Even Madoc recognized Luke's performance in his heart. Becoming an excellent warrior was not an easy task.
Now Madoc is afraid that Luke will be too good and Sonya will be addicted to fighting, which will lead to things like being unable to hold back.
Cassius pursed his lips and stood a little further away, looking a little nervous.
Sonya's strength is not comparable to that of her dead ancestors, and the referee seems to have no good solution to stop the fight from continuing.
Cassius had to take this scene seriously, and he put the bear cub in his hand back to the ground.
After all, barbarians do not have the mage skill of teleportation. Interrupting the battle requires more precise timing and judgment.
Even though Sonya deserves high praise, it is better to approach new attempts with caution.
Not far away, Natasha and Barton watched with interest.
There was no pressure on either of them.
Sonya is still a mystery to them, and more observations will be needed to make an assessment.
Moreover, the path of becoming stronger through training is also very good. If possible, they are also willing to learn more about Sonya through a mentoring battle.
As for Matthew and Wayne.
Matthew was receiving some perfunctory guidance from Reiko, while Wayne and Kerik were squatting at the gate of the Holy Mountain, baking bread out of boredom.
Leiko's teachings could not provide any demonstration to Matthew. After all, her advanced combat skills were not easily distinguishable.
Matthew couldn't see, so he suffered a little while studying.
Reiko is not a very good teacher, even though her experience can help Matthew very well.
It's just that the overly concise explanation tested Matthew's ability to understand, and Leiko's patience was quite average.
At this time, Kolik and Wayne were chatting in front of the gate of the Holy Mountain.
Called casual chat, this was more like a veiled exhortation.
"Boy, your heart is full of fear. To be honest, I think if you were Diavolo's subordinate, you would be almost qualified to fight me during this time."
Kolik moved the French eyebrow stick casually on the fire and said casually.
Life may need a bit of ritual, but Kolik just wants a little fun now.
Incidentally, he also needs to make his heir a better warrior, rather than one who is gloomy at heart.
The joke wasn't very funny, and Kolick didn't think so either.
It's just "chat". As for whether this chat will go further, it depends on Wayne's answer.
"Becoming a devil will not bring peace. It is just my method to give fear to evil people."
Wayne picked up Corre's bread and took a bite, making a crunching sound.
It's not very delicious, but Wayne, as a young man, can endure hardships and doesn't need to eat all kinds of delicacies.
Wayne wasn't very interested in becoming a demon in exchange for greater power.
What deserves the most praise for him is definitely his almost indestructible bottom line and will.
Wayne always felt that he and that city were a bit inconsistent in this world, but he couldn't find the reason.
So the anxiety inside is increasing little by little.
Negative emotions will always surface, this is his daily routine, but recently it has become difficult to regain his composure.
He needed a channel to vent his emotions, but he didn't know how to find it. After all, "Batman" can only be a secret, even if that secret may be known to everyone.
But until Wayne fully reveals his identity, this tacit secret will continue to exist.
There are many unspoken tacit understandings in that city.
"Diablo said the same thing at the time. I was very worried."
Korik turned to look at Wayne and put a hand on his waist, as if he was planning to do something.
He looked a little serious, but his movements were hesitant, as if he hadn't made up his mind yet.
Korik would not normally wear a belt. After all, he has the second strongest waist on the Holy Mountain.
The heavy belt used by the barbarian often affected the feeling of wielding his weapon.
In order to support the almost unlimited frenzied stacking that he is good at, Korik has made sacrifices in armor while possessing a strong body.
This time, he was wearing a belt, even though the belt looked a bit rough.
Barbarian equipment is always rough, but there are not many that can be described as rough, and this belt is one of them.
This was pieced together from the broken armor excavated from the Arreat Deep Pit, and even after only a few very random forgings, it barely had the shape of a belt.
It looks like a patchwork of objects, but it’s also a piece of legendary equipment!
Fear cast iron!
Trampling the ground will trigger a landslide, which is its legendary effect. There is no need to introduce things like improving resistance.
This piece of legendary equipment contains the fear of the barbarians when the holy mountain explodes, so it can be regarded as a kind of torture for Korik.
The reason why this legend was collected by Korik was because he was the person those warriors who died in fear most wanted to see.
Korik, who would not give up his life, had been the savior of young warriors for a long time.
Full of hope and trust, Korik's approach was enough to make him even bigger and taller than he looked.
Even when faced with despair and fear, they still had the extravagant hope of being saved by Korik.
However, Korik had died before them, so this extravagant hope came to nothing.
Not reconciled, but not resentful. Just full of regret.
Korik did not let down the others, but when dealing with his own people, he always retreated again and again. Until the most critical moment when he couldn't even care about his own comfort, he was always trustworthy and reliable.
"I'm also very worried, but I think you have a way to control me, right? At least I won't be someone you can't deal with for a long time."
There was something candid about Wayne's face.
He never felt that he was invincible, but he was sure that once he did evil, he would definitely become the most dangerous existence.
This idea seems a bit arrogant, but this is also an accurate judgment that Wayne made on himself.
Because there are not many people in the world who can understand him, and he himself is the best one.
So he is also doing some things now, such as constantly improving his own combat plan. When will he be able to use it?
Although he hoped it would never come in handy.
As for whose hands he will entrust this plan to, Wayne has not decided yet.
This kind of thing requires serious and careful consideration.
"I wish you weren't so smart, or I should ask Tarik to give you evidence of shame..."
Korik said a little feebly.
He could feel some of Wayne's emotions, especially when Wayne asked Bulcasso about his weaknesses. He knew that this kid would be so awkward and heartbreaking.
It's definitely a good idea to use the Proof of Shame, but it's not suitable for Wayne.
This guy has not done anything wrong yet, and it is still unknown what memories the evidence of shame will engrave in his heart.
What if the painful past forced Wayne onto a more dangerous path.
Kolik doesn't like games of chance, and his motto is just to work hard.
"Even if you could understand me, you wouldn't feel the same way."
Wayne smiled and took another bite of bread.
The roast was a little too dry, but Wayne still ate it without changing his expression.
"We always do redundant things, but redundant things are not necessarily mistakes. But I hope you can look away early, otherwise you will suffer a loss sooner or later."
Korik let out a long breath and put his hand on the belt.
Carrying something as heavy as the fear before the death of his compatriots, Korik felt tormented every moment.
Death in battle cannot simply be blamed on Madoc for leaving the formation first. Someone has to do something at that time.
How long can you simply stick to it?
During the Battle of Arreat, they had to face two hell demons.
There is also an archangel of justice who has no idea what he is doing in his head.
In fact, when the World Stone exploded, most people were unable to fight back.
Even the Archangel and the Demon God of Hell are waiting for the cooldown time for resurrection.
"At least I won't be completely merciful now. I won't feel ashamed for hurting those criminals."
Wayne said expressionlessly, and the movements of his hands were a bit unnatural.
"You have no intention of eradicating the root cause. What you call injury is just that you have not adapted to your sudden increase in strength."
Kolik told the truth with some sadness.
A man who tries to use fear and awe to stop evil is making himself the embodiment of law.
If Wayne didn't have a greater appreciation for the power of fear, he might be the most suitable being to take over as justice.
This guy isn't even going to do a trial.
Kolik knew his heir somewhat, and Wayne was not vulnerable.
It's just so naive that it makes you want to laugh.
He regarded the power of time too great, and simply thought that being punished by the law would make those villains reflect.
Although we want to bring peace through order and establish the majesty of the law.
But he never killed even one heinous person.
To be honest, pointing a weapon at a villain's head is stronger than the threat of the law.
At least death is the most intuitive threat.
"Our philosophies are still different. I am not just planning to eliminate evil. Human beings need some yearning and belief in good hope."
Wayne said muffledly.
But he lowered his head.
Right and wrong sometimes don't seem to be that important. What matters is whether you can stick to the original concept at the critical moment.
"Maybe you and Auriel can talk together, but you are you."
Kolik finally made up his mind and took off the heavy belt from his waist.
Even though Wayne cannot yet use the power of the original legend, it will change the holder's body little by little, just like Orak's God of War Blade.
Noble dreamers need strength to protect them, otherwise they will easily fall on the road to realizing their dreams.
"Take it, its name is Dreadcast! A legend that proves I am not omnipotent."
Korik threw the French eyebrow stick aside and looked at Wayne as he spoke.
"This is my reward for seeing the end of that war."
Kolik's eyes were a little deep.
This is also a cinching curse. If Wayne falls into darkness and is corrupted by Diavolo, the obsessions housed in this heavy belt will end him.
"You'd better take off this belt before you want to turn into a devil, otherwise the moment you become a devil, you will die."
Kolick told Wayne bluntly one of the functions of this belt.
Wayne smiled very charmingly: "It's exactly what I want. This will give me more confidence."
Others have imposed restrictions on him, and Wayne enjoys these restrictions!
After all, as a superhero and the city's patron saint, he can't always monitor his mental state.
And he couldn't see a psychiatrist, so he had to learn the corresponding knowledge on his own, just to be able to evaluate himself at any time.
…
"Hey! If you can surprise me, I will take you to a secret place."
Sonya said openly and glanced at Cassius in passing.
She still knew some of the traditions of the Big Bear Tribe. Apart from Cassius, the only guy on the Holy Mountain who would test Luke now was Koutul.
Although Sonya didn't think that taking Luke into a secret realm would make any drastic changes, it would be good to become stronger.
That's assuming Luke can show something interesting.
For example, things like will and courage, no matter how kind-hearted he is, it can still be considered a surprise even if he looks like a little white rabbit.
Sonya was filled with anticipation.
