"I have sacrificed your death to the god of blood and battle!"
Adernus did not wait for Magnar Titus to make a similar prayer, but immediately began to attack.
His blade activated, and the sword's force field buzzed like a swarm as it sliced through the air, a testament to its creator's skill.
There were corpses scattered around the two duelists, including those of the Ranger Warriors and those of the fallen Mantis Warriors, but in terms of quantity, it was obvious that the Ranger Warriors had suffered higher losses.
They had already had a similar battle ten years ago, but the result was a disastrous defeat for the Ranger Warriors.
And now, they collided together again, with new and old hatreds.
Most champions have perfect talents in one-on-one combat. They are both warriors and duelists - Adnus is no exception.
Before he rebelled, he focused on honing his life and soul in order to pursue the ultimate in the art of one-on-one dueling.
Tentatively clashing weapons, studying the posture of the opponent's body, determining each other's swordsmanship, and figuring out the flow and premonition of the battle. This is how most duels begin. Mastery and skill are far more important than battlefield-style fighting.
Although some duelists don't think so, this kind of trial can still help move the muscles and muscles, stimulate the blood flow and the rapid flow of adrenalin injected into the armor system, and shorten the time for the duelist to enter the state.
Adnus had other strategies.
He believed that he was far superior to Magnar Titus in swordsmanship, or that he was good enough to kill me before the blood flow stirred up. He immediately approached the opponent at the beginning of the duel and launched several attacks in succession.
Magna Titus, on the other hand, was able to block the frenzied attack with the sword he inherited from his previous Chapter Master.
But with every block, the Chapter Master of the Ranger Warriors had to retreat, and the Mantis Warriors in the confrontation shouted in admiration as they saw Magnar Titus fall into passive defense.
They felt that this duel would be over soon, just like how they beat up the Ranger warriors ten years ago.
It didn't take long for Adnus to get first blood.
Magnar Titus made a mistake when blocking an attack aimed at the torso, and the Blood Forest took the opportunity to cut a deep scratch on his breastplate.
Then the sword blades of both sides met again, and locked at the sword grid.
The two opponents were so close that one could even see each other's reflections in each other's armors.
"Why do you still come to die?"
Adnus asked suddenly, trying to find a hint of hesitation in his opponent's movements, but finding none.
"It's you who deserve to die! Traitors!"
After the stalemate continued for a while, both sides simultaneously removed their weapons and took a step back.
"Maybe, but don't you weigh your own strength?"
Rather than refute this, Magnar Titus attacks.
The swords of both sides went back and forth, exchanging a series of attacks and blocks.
But Magna Titus soon fell into a disadvantage again, but he no longer retreated. He could only block the attacks as much as possible, and turned around to avoid those that could not be blocked.
At this time, Adnus took advantage of the opportunity when the energy fields of the sword blades collided with each other in the roar and asked:
"Have you forgotten what happened at the Autumn of Bellerophon?"
This question made Magnar Titus furious. The other party's naked provocation made him unable to control his emotions anymore.
"I will use your heads to avenge my fallen comrades!"
"Just you? I personally cut off the head of your first company commander."
Adnus hummed.
"You have also been punished! That is a shame you cannot escape!"
Magnar Titus roared.
"Yes, those who cannot learn from the past are forced to repeat the past."
The two of them kept clashing swords, and no one was trying to win the second blood.
After this, Adernus recounts his "great deeds" in the Autumn of Bellerophon, victory after victory, death after death, mixed with minute details.
During this period, the two men were fighting with swords and swords without interruption, and the hum of collision of energy fields adorned the joyful speech in the Blood Forest.
Although the Astartes' bodies have been transformed into superhuman beings, their core remains human.
The most unstable factor is still emotion, especially anger, which often makes the Astartes' very clear memories on certain occasions become clouded, stained with blood-red color, and washed away with passionate fanaticism.
As words continued to pour out of Adnus' mouth, it became increasingly difficult for Magnar Titus to remain calm.
His concentration began to lose, and he gradually began to rely on instinct to parry the opponent's attacks, instead of simply relying on observing the opponent's posture or predicting through muscle movements.
More than that, he felt uneasy emotions spreading dryly in his heart like needle pricks——
The heart-wrenching speeches continued.
Adnus began to describe how he attacked the exhausted and exhausted First Ranger Company, how he executed wounded warriors with bolt bombs, and how he beheaded the First Ranger Captain in a duel.
Magnar Titus and the First Captain were once close friends. He remembered the First Captain as serious and intuitive. His shrewd and offensive wisdom formed a perfect match with Magnar Titus's defensive calculations. complementary.
A roar erupted from the battlefield as Adernus spoke of how they had captured a ranger warrior's battle standard and used it as a shroud to wrap around the bones of the fallen warriors.
"Damn!!!!!"
Until he breathed out, Magnar Titus didn't even realize that this powerful and angry roar came from his own throat.
All calm and skill were thrown away, leaving only red concentration.
Magnar Titus strides towards his foe, pouring his full weight into every blow.
The squeezed energy field erupted into strings of sparks, and screams accompanied every extremely powerful block.
He turned to hold the sword with both hands and attacked his opponent with a speed that was unprecedented in his memory. The speed even exceeded all previous expectations for himself.
Adnus seemed to get the result he wanted. He did not rush to attack, but only broke Titus's offense many times - Titus barely defended.
Titus knew he couldn't win, but he didn't care.
Even though he was suppressing his opponent and putting him on the defensive, he knew that Adnus was still faster and stronger than him.
But Titus still didn't care.
His senses were suffocated by the shame of the battle group, and he could only roar and launch strong attacks again and again, not caring that he might be injured as a result.
He wants blood, he wants his opponent's life, because his brother is already dead.
He just wants revenge!
