Chapter 73 Kate's Appearance(1/2)
...A viewer than colder, Mingkun is much less than before the point, but there is no appearance from Angela. Everyone has no suspense about the outcome of the next game. 78xs.com Although the young masked adventurer is also very strong, his performance in the previous few battles is obviously not enough to be the focus of everyone's attention. The spectators are obviously more interested in the outcome of the Paladins on the other side, but many people still appeared at the game scene. They looked at the two sides in different moods. Among them, there are also
Many adventurers who are civilians, after all, Li Lin and Anjiela originally represented the dreams of these people. They did not have any sacred power or background. However, being able to defeat the powerful Paladin is equivalent to dreaming. Moreover, they also wanted to see if someone could defeat the sacred Knight and enter the finals. Originally, they were optimistic about Anjiela, but Anjiela did not appear in yesterday's game and gave up. In desperation, they had to turn their attention back to Li Lin. Like the people in the temple, most of the ordinary people also believed that this might be the last battle.
Standing on the court, Kate's mood was very complicated. Because before the battle began, his teacher, the Paladin of Valast, suddenly came to visit him. What made Kate even more confused was that Valast, who was always steady and deep in the weekdays, looked a little tired and helpless. He seemed to be in a bad mood. Moreover, Valast's tone when encouraging him was a little wrong, as if he didn't think he would win. To be honest, this made Kate feel a little uneasy. He didn't know what happened to his teacher, but it was obvious that Kate didn't have time to think about these issues now. He silently stared at the direction of the challenger, waiting for his opponent to appear.
When Li Lin's figure appeared, Kate felt the long sword around his waist, and seemed to jump slightly uncontrollably, but when he focused on observing, he did not find any problems.
Everything seems abnormal today, even the sunshine in the sky seems to be much dimmer than before.
Kate threw these boring and complicated thoughts behind his head. He looked at the masked hand in front of him again. He held the hilt of the sword and slowly drew out the long sword. He stared at the man in front of him vigilantly, while waiting for the referee to announce the start of the game.
"start!"
The competition has officially begun.
Just as the priest who was the referee made an announcement, the two almost took a step back at the same time. Holding a long sword in their hands, staring at each other in the most standard and regular posture. This was the opposite scene from the beginning of other competitions, which made everyone present say "ah" involuntarily. They originally thought they would see a fierce competition, but they did not expect that neither side seemed to intend to take the initiative to attack.
Kate made this choice not a little reason. He had carefully observed the game between these two people and discovered Li Lin's fighting methods. Perhaps his strength was indeed not as good as that of the Paladins. But why? Men obviously had a good defensive style. In the previous battles, most of the Paladins were determined to win, so they quickly launched an attack. However, they were barely blocked by Li Lin, which consumed too much physical strength and energy. In the end, Li Lin turned the tables.
Of course, from the perspective of conventional strategies, it is understandable to do this. After all, ordinary people are innately unable to compare with Paladins, so it is very natural for the other party to blindly adopt a defensive. On the other hand, if the Paladin does not attack first, it will reduce his momentum first, which is not a good thing for battle.
Of course, this will also be ridiculed as timid and afraid of things. After all, the other party is not a monster. But an ordinary human. If the Paladin is so timid when facing ordinary people, his evaluation will naturally be reduced.
However, Kate chose this tactic.
Unlike ordinary people, Paladins have sacred power, which can allow them to replenish consumption for a long time and can continue the battle time for a long time.^^Baidu search, read the latest chapter of this book** Even if you are tired, you will be recovered earlier by ordinary people. Moreover, when consumed, as long as you do not exercise vigorously, you will persist for a longer time.
After watching the previous rounds of battles, Kate no longer intends to take the initiative to attack. After all, the fighting skills between the Paladins are almost the same. So many people cannot defeat Li Lin's defense. It is naturally unlikely that he will succeed. Therefore, only if the sword takes a detour and forces the opponent to take the initiative, he may still have a chance of winning.
So, the two sides became stalemate in the competition.
"Silly boy."
Watching Kate's actions, Wallast couldn't help frowning. He also understood what his students were thinking. Indeed, if it were someone else, Kate's tactical choice was not a mistake. After all, active attack always reveals more flaws than defense. However, his opponent in front of him was not an ordinary person, but an arcane mage. Although Wallast didn't know what the difference and difference between an arcane mage and an ordinary mage was, it was obviously not a wise choice to defeat the opponent with psychological tactics.
And the situation is just as Valast expected
Ten minutes passed, fifteen minutes passed.
Twenty minutes have passed.
Thirty minutes have passed.
Thirty-five minutes have passed.
The audience began to whisper. Although many of them also understood what was going on, the so-called experts looked at the tricks and laymen watched the fun, and most people came here to watch the fun, rather than to watch some boring stalemate.
Li Lin was not influenced by everyone. In fact, it doesn't matter if he stands here for a day. The mage needs to remain calm and calm, not to mention that it is very normal for a day to stay in spell practice. In order to concentrate, the mage must keep singing calmly at any time, let alone like now.
In contrast, although Kate was not affected by the audience, he had already fluctuated in his heart. Although he also believed that as long as he could persist for a long enough time, he could break the opponent's defense. Moreover, during this half hour, he also looked at Li Lin in fear, trying to find flaws that could be exploited from his posture. However, Li Lin obviously did not give Kate this opportunity. His posture has not changed at all from the beginning to the present. Even the hand holding the sword was not shaken for half a time. If he continues to consume this, it may not be able to achieve the effect Kate hopes for.
"What are you doing? Why don't you fight?"
"Hurry up, Yisuke, Paladin, he still shrank so much in the face of an ordinary adventurer
"Hey. You two kilograms, hurry up and do it. Do you want to stand here for a day?"
Everyone complained more, and the Paladins in the Temple were also full of criticism. In their opinion, Kate's tactics chosen were obviously a shame for the Paladins. However, Kate was still unmoved, but now his mood was far from as peaceful as it began. Because this time, he also saw a hint of anxiety in Valast's eyes off the field.
Valast couldn't be unhappy. After all, he had long thought that Kate could not win. Moreover, he was also worried that if something happened, Li Lin and Anjiela would start killing here. So now, from Valast's standpoint, he naturally hopes that the competition would end early, even if it was a loss, as long as it ended early.
Although Wallast did not show it clearly, as his student, Kate keenly noticed this, which made Kate hesitate about his strategy. He could always ignore anyone's words. But Wallast's opinions were unavoidable. Therefore, Kate finally made a decision.
He took a step back, then clenched his sword tightly, and then slashed downward.
In the end, Kate chose to attack.
But in the face of this thunderous attack, Li Lin was motionless. It was not until Kate's sword edge reached his face that he suddenly turned the sword across and hit the opponent's sword body impartially.
"bite!"
It has to be said that Li Lin's sword is just right. Although the vertical chop is relatively strong, it is already the last skill when he arrives in front of Li Lin. What Li Lin only asks for is blocking the opponent's attack, so he will not use particularly strong strength. In the end, Kate's first strike ended in vain.
It's true.
After seeing his shot fall, Kate's mood was already calm. He found that his previous strategy was indeed correct. Although Li Lin's strength was not as strong as him, he did not take on his own attacks like ordinary adventurers. Instead, he followed the trend and cut it apart. This was even somewhat like a method that Valast often used when guiding his swordsmanship.
However, it is difficult to recover from the overflow. Kate now has no way to regain his mentality when he was defending just now.
Seeing this, Kate could only grit his teeth and continue to attack. His offensive was so tight that it was as tight as waves, one after another, leaving the opponent with no counterattack. Moreover, there was no way to take advantage of the gap in Kate's attack to counterattack. For a moment, the situation changed one by one again. Everyone saw that Li Lin was still barely resisting Kate's attack, and the edge of the sword in his hand had even been cut out one by one. In this case, Li Lin's dodging seemed a little embarrassed. He seemed unable to escape from Kate's offensive, nor could he counterattack him. It seemed that he would soon be defeated under Kate's sword.
However, Kate, who was in it, had a completely different feeling. He finally understood why those paladins were fighting against this, and men were just trying to attack. Because they could not fight back at all.
Li Lin's defense was extremely tight, but it seemed to be full of loopholes. When he resisted Kate's sword stabbed towards his shoulder, the empty door was wide open on his right side. As long as he seized the opportunity, he could give him a fatal blow. But just as Kate thought about taking action at the same time, he found that the originally exposed gap had been blocked again. It seemed that it had never appeared before. At this moment, his sword had already cut in that direction and could not be transferred at all.
And in this state, Kate cannot defend again. You must know that the battle at this time is the most important thing to do. If you expose your momentum at this time, it will be a defeat. But Li Lin obviously decided to make the point of complete defense. No matter how big the gap Kate deliberately exposed, he would never be fooled. A sword barely protected him, like a wall of iron, and would never step beyond the line.
He could not turn back to the defensive, nor could he be forced to turn back to the defensive. Now Kate is like a deep stream flowing down, and he has no way to stop his progress. His power is gradually weakening. The long-term high-intensity war of attrition is eroding his spirit and **, making his offensive become tired.
Soon, even Kate felt a little overwhelmed. He almost relied on his instinct to swing his sword. Attacked the opponent like he was on a daily basis. Even though he showed such a big flaw, Li Lin had no intention of counterattack at all. He was still dancing the sword in his hand, picking or pushing away Kate's attack. Even if the opponent had a stagnant move, he would never attack.
This is really troublesome.
Thinking of this, Kate finally stopped being as calm as before. When his long sword was blocked by Li Lin again, he finally made a decision.
So, just as the next attack, a pure white light suddenly flashed in front of Li Lin's eyes. Then, the long sword in Kate's hand burst out with bright light, cutting it down at a speed that he had previously unimaginable.
"Ding!!! Lock!!!"
In front of this sword strike that was far faster than before, the long sword in Li Lin's hand finally could no longer bear it. It broke open at the moment of handing over with the other party. After the white light, only half of the long sword was left in Li Lin's hand, and the other half had already landed on the ground and turned into broken pieces. Faced with this catty, the people around the scene were stunned at first. Then, overwhelming criticism appeared.
"It's a holy war skill!"
"Despicable Paladin, do you dare to use this skill when facing an ordinary person?"
"Shameless, shameless! Is this also what the Paladin did?"
If the opponent was Anjiela, then these people might not be so angry. After all, Anjiela's speed has been seen and kept in mind in these days. Using sacred power is not considered cheating when dealing with a guy who has almost surpassed humans. But the difference is now. Regardless of Kate's thoughts, in the eyes of everyone, the masked warrior in front of him has always struggled to resist the opponent's attack, while Kate has a clear upper hand. In this case, this paladin will actually use the sacred power. This is simply too much!!
At this moment, the leather armor on Li Lin's face also split from the middle and fell to the ground.
It was not until this time that his face was seen by everyone for the first time.
Surprisingly, this face was not injured, and there was nothing special. If there was anything strange, it was that this face didn't look like a warrior at all, but it looked like a scared and scholar.
Looking at the leather armored mask that fell to the ground, Li Lin shrugged and looked at Kate with a smile.
"Give up."
Kate raised his long sword and said that his posture at this moment was more like a demonstration. He looked at Li Lin with a deep and serious expression. In fact, Kate felt a little guilty about his victory. However, he would not regret the decision he made. Now, the other party no longer has weapons, and he could not resist his sacred attack with empty hands.
"You no longer have weapons, and it is impossible to beat me. Give up, Swordsman, I admit that you are very strong, but you no longer have a chance."
"arms?"
Li Lin smiled at Kate's statement, so indifferent and relaxed.
"This sword is not my weapon, but my toy. Next, it is the real battle. I hope you can block it, otherwise it will be boring."
Then, Li Lin raised his right and snapped his fingers gently.
“Angura.”
With Li Lin's call, a white figure suddenly fell from the sky and slammed into the competition field, and broke out. Broken stones and dust spread everywhere, and then everyone saw clearly the petite figure standing in it. "I'm here to estimate the ordinary."
Angela's bright red eyes were full of murderous intent and excitement. She licked her fingers gently, staring at the young knight in front of her with a cold and evil smile.
And now, everyone finally understood.
Why didn’t the little girl come to play yesterday? It turned out that she and this masked man were all in the same group!!
"foul!!"
The clergyman who served as the referee came forward without knowing that he was neighboring the god of death.
"The competition is only allowed to fight alone, and two people are not allowed to play in a group! You have been admitted and won the qualification. Now, I determine that you have lost and leave immediately!"
As a clergyman, he was already tired of the match that his own people could not win. Now that he could seize the opportunity, he would naturally not miss it. However, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw An Jiela's face chilling, and her blood-red cold eyes staring at the referee in front of him like a poisonous snake.
"Shut up, it's a waste, it's not your turn to issue orders here."
Then, Angela waved her hand.
A storm rose up from the ground, knocking the bad referee out of the field. What happened? The poor guy was swept up by the storm and hit the stone wall beside the competition court. He immediately squirted out a mouthful of blood, and it seemed that it was impossible to survive again.
"What kind of power is this?"
"Oh my God, this is magic!! That little girl is a mage!! Guard, where is the guard?!"
The scene immediately started to riot, and many paladins immediately unsheathed their weapons and tried to rush to the competition venue. However, a translucent barrier suddenly appeared, blocking their movements.
“The game continues.”
Li Lin's face, who cast a protective shield, still had no change at all, but this time, everyone saw it, and there was a magical light between his hands.
"Are you" a mage?"
At this moment, Kate's expression also changed.
"The competition is over, mage, no matter what you want to do, I suggest you put down your weapons and surrender immediately. In this way, we can also give you a fair judgment."
"No."
Li Lin stretched out his finger and shook it gently.
