The venue for the battle was very direct, and was set on the second floor of the Volcano's official residence.

This was originally supposed to be the banquet hall, but according to Tanis, the Volcano Mansion is currently short of manpower, so the originally more spacious side hall has been abandoned and can only be carried out here.

Li You had no objection. At the same time, Tanith's rebels had also been summoned by her, and each of them was arranged to make a solemn appearance.

First, there was the fully armed Bernal. His beast-gathering armor was ferocious and thick. He was carrying a two-handed giant sword and stood down without saying a word.

Bernal: "..."

The second one was the young man with an instant noodle head and a gorgeous armor. He carried a large shield on his back and a long whip that was as gorgeous as the armor. His expression was very rich and dramatic, but he still stood up.

Instant Noodle Head: "...I want to be a hero."

Then there is the third warrior at the Volcano Mansion, wearing black leather armor, holding a large shield and a spear, "Crazy" Patch with a shiny forehead.

Patch: "???"

"No, why should I play too?"

Patch originally thought that after the reception mission was over, he would no longer have to face Li You. As a result, as soon as he returned to the guest room and sat down, he turned around and was called over by La Ya, and then Tanis told him that he wanted to fight Li You and the others.

Pakhi was confused.

"...Wait a minute, I'm not good at fighting either!? Why do you want me to do it!"

Tanis looked at him: "Didn't you fight with that Li You into the city of Morn where the demi-humans rebelled? Not only did you enter and exit seven times, but you were one position ahead of him?"

Patch: "......"

Damn, the cowhide is blown.

"So it's just right. It's up to you to fight them. I believe you can win and prove the power of our rebels."

Patch was about to cry but had no tears: I'm sorry, I won't blow randomly next time.

Li You watched them prepare. These seemed to be all the people on standby at the Huoshan Residence.

If in the game, there should be two red spirits who are also thugs of the Volcano Mansion forces, namely the torturer Kisa who invaded on the second floor here, and the traitor Henryk who invaded in front of Nimgofu Arena. Sri Lanka.

But I don’t know if these two were killed in advance or what, but Tanis only pulled out three Bernal people.

Li You was a little surprised: "Are these three of you over there?"

It's not that he said that except for Bernal, who deserves attention, the other two are basically nothing.

Patch won't go into details. Anyone who doesn't understand understands it. As for the instant noodle head with gorgeous armor, his name is Diaros and he comes from the famous Khoslao family. That armor and the gorgeous silver whip with sharp teeth like petals are the inheritance of the Khosrow family.

Logically speaking, Diaros comes from a famous family and his fighting ability should not be weak, but it is a pity that he took the kind of script where there is a perfect eldest brother in the family and he is just a younger brother. In his own plot line, he failed to become a warrior until the end.

Tanis didn't seem to think anything was wrong, and just nodded: "That's right. You are a guest, so I ask you to decide the order of the challenge."

When Pachi heard this, his heart froze.

Patch: Totally spicy!

Li You already understood Tanisi's thoughts and smiled: "I see, you are really confident. If that's the case, then... let's arrange it like this."

He reached out and tapped Kara and V: "On our side, the three of us will fight. As for the order..."

"V, you deal with that instant noodle head, Carla, Patch will be left to you. If I say so, you can learn Bernal's combat skills."

After his arrangement came out, Tanis and Patch were a little surprised. Diaros looked completely confused, while Bernal glanced at Li You.

In fact, the situation is very clear. The combat strength of everyone on Li You's side is unknown, but the side of Huoshan Official Residence is very clear. Except for Bernal, there were two left, and anyone with some discernment could see that they were not good at fighting.

Considering that the competition format is best of three games, it can be said that this arrangement is actually Tanis operating behind the scenes... basically without acting.

Therefore, Li You only needs to pick a weak player to deal with Bernal, and then deal with the two weak chickens, Pachi and Diaros, to win steadily.

From this perspective, it is obvious that as the strongest person on his side, Li You's best choice is to avoid Bernal. Besides, he still had a grudge against Patch. Tanis threw Patch into the battle, still with the idea of ​​using him as a target to attract firepower... She was probably afraid that Li You wouldn't understand her arrangement.

However, judging from the current situation, Li You obviously understood Tanisi's intention, but still chose to face Bernal by himself, which made Tanisi fall into thinking.

"Is he so confident in himself?"

Although Bernal looks like just a knight wearing strange armor and a somewhat lonely personality. But in fact, he is definitely the number one fighting force in the Volcano Mansion.

However, although Tanith was surprised, she did not express any objection. Even if she wanted to operate in secret, she could not make it too obvious, otherwise the play would be meaningless. So she finally agreed: "In that case, please prepare yourself."

"In the first battle, we will hand it over to Mr. Diaros."

Without Li Yaoyao, V had already walked out with Pandora: "I don't need to prepare anything, just come."

Seeing her calm look, Diaros gritted his teeth and said, not to be outdone: "Then come!"

Dialos held up his shield, and with his other hand, he held and unfolded the Khoslau Petal Whip, ready for battle. Even so, the sharp whip in his hand was obviously an agile weapon, but he held a shield in one hand and this whip in the other. The whole person looked very out of place.

V didn't want to scare him, so she put the Pandora briefcase behind her, and the briefcase changed its posture. A small part extended downward and turned into a mantis knife with two arms, and more of it stayed behind her, forming a cool technological backpack.

V raised her arms, and the mantis knife popped out, with electric current flashing on the blade, and her magic power was completely released without any concealment!

Over the years, V's total magic power has also increased significantly, and this is the benefit of using magic seeds to awaken magic power.

The ascension ceremony performed by Yuzu can allow him to directly obtain the demon form and immediately have huge magic power, but on the other hand, it will be more difficult to improve. V awakened through the magic seed. Although her magic power was relatively weak at the beginning, as she continued to fight and improve, her magic power could become greater than that obtained by the ascension ceremony.

V's total magic power is certainly not as good as Yuzu's, but it is far beyond the ordinary warriors in this world.

When her magic power burst out, the Volcano Residence was also surprised. They didn't expect that this female warrior who looked a bit ordinary actually had such exaggerated magic power, and even made people doubt that her main job was a magician.

V waved to Diaros: "Then please!"

As for Diaros, he was rushed by the magic breath released by V, and then looked at the flashing lightning and cold light on the mantis knife transformed by Pandora. His legs began to tremble unconsciously, and he subconsciously shrank his neck and said: "I, I give up..."

V: "?"

Tannis: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Li You: "Happy."

But fortunately, although this sentence had already turned around Diaros's mouth, he swallowed it back later.

"...No, I can't give up. I want to be a hero. This is for Lenia and to live up to Khosrow's name!"

"Khosrow speaks with blood! Ahhhh——!!"

V: He rushed up shouting something about heroism and family honor.

But it was useless.

Diaros rushed to the nearby area, shook his right hand, and the petal whip nimbly broke through the air and attacked V. V's expression changed, and he raised his left hand to meet the flying whip. The long whip with a sharp blade wrapped around the mantis knife, and even further circled down and entangled V's left hand.

However, V instantly extended Pandora, turned it into armor to protect his left arm, and also took the opportunity to grab the whip of the long whip.

However, Diaros didn't seem to notice this detail. He held up the big shield, grabbed the petal whip hard, and said: "I caught you, come here!"

V: "?"

She didn't bother to resist too much, just pretended, and then followed Diaros's movements and was "pulled" in front of him.

Diaros was still talking, he clenched the petal whip: "See, this is Khosrow's..."

"Shut up."

V was too lazy to listen to his nonsense. She raised her free right hand, and Pandora changed her form, from a mantis knife to a power glove with a muzzle.

The glove lit up with a little bit of energy, and then hot air spurted out from the side. V then punched Diaros's shield hard, and the muzzle spewed out flames!

"Bang--!!"

With the blessing of Pandora's artillery power glove, the power of this punch was almost as powerful as Yuzu's dragon hunting axe. Diaros had no way to resist, and the whole person was thrown out!

"Bang--"

The big shield and petal whip fell out of his hand, and Diaros hit the wall behind him hard, fell to the ground, and couldn't get up for a long time.

The petal whip was still wrapped around V's left arm armor. She took a look, took it off easily, and waved it in her hand: "This thing is quite interesting, but you don't know how to use it at all."

Dialos was a little resilient. Although he had been knocked down by a punch and all his weapons were out of his hands, he still struggled to get up from the ground: "...I won't give up. Lenia died in the hands of the rebels, but I gave up revenge and joined the Volcano Mansion instead, just to embark on the path of defilement and to become a hero!"

"I want to be like my brother, a Bloody Knight worthy of the name of Khosrow! I..."

"Bang!!"

V suddenly took action, imitating Li You's previous kick, and knocked Diaros unconscious on the spot.

"...I'm not interested in your story, and just what you said is enough to make me look down on you, you idiot."

V. has seen all kinds of scenes. Just by listening to Diaros's words, she has judged this person's character, so she doesn't want to talk to him anymore.

Diaros's physique was obviously inferior to Patch's. After being kicked by V, he rolled back to the wall and fainted.

V looked at the petal whip in his hand, hung it around his waist, and returned to Li You.

"The first round has been decided."

Tanis's tone was very calm, so calm that there was no surprise or unwillingness at all, "Get ready for the second round. Patch, it's your turn."

Patch, who was named by her, walked to the front with an expression of execution. Although he was not facing Li You, it was a good thing. However, facing Kara who defeated Shattered Star and was tricked by him, he still felt guilty.

Seeing Kara coming forward with the Dark Moon Staff, Patch tried his best to put on a friendly smile and said, "Well... you see, after all, we fought side by side when fighting General Shattered Star. Can you save some face and not be so heavy-handed?"

Kara smiled: "Don't worry, I don't hate you for tricking me with the teleportation trap. I will know my limits."

Patch was relieved: "Great, I knew you were a reasonable woman."

"The second round begins!"

"Boom--!!"

A broom star pierced Patch's head!

Patch was horrified, and rolled over on the ground in a very embarrassing way before he barely escaped. He stood up and shouted: "Didn't you say that you don't hold grudges and have a sense of propriety?!"

Kara didn't stop her hand at all, and continued to wave the tin staff: "I don't mind you cheating me in the past, but you cheated my master, and I have to settle this account with you. Don't hide, I really have a sense of propriety, at most I will cut off your two hands and two legs!"

Patch was horrified, and while dodging her broom, he shouted: "You, you, you--! You don't keep your word!"

On the sidelines, Li You watched Kara chase Patch around. With a smile on his face, he also called out to Kara: "Be careful, don't break other people's furniture, it looks expensive."

Kara responded obediently: "I know, Master."

Only Patch complained: "If you hurt someone, you have to pay for the medical expenses!"

Li You and Kara didn't care at all, one was very happy to fight, and the other was very happy to watch.

At this time, Edge's voice sounded in the mental link. She asked Li You: "It's a bit too strange, why are the people sent by Tanis so weak? Does she really want to beat us?"

Li You hasn't spoken yet, V has answered for him: "Of course not. From the performance at the beginning, it can be seen that Tanis originally hoped that we can win. She just wants to go through a process and appease her subordinates."

Aiji is still puzzled: "But Li You clearly said that he would challenge Lakkad before. What's the benefit for Tanis? Why should she let us win?"

V couldn't answer this question, but Li You knew why.

Justice Officer Lakkad... No, he should be called "blasphemous king" Lakkad now. In pursuit of immortality and power, he was willing to let himself be swallowed by the big snake. He has long been reduced to a monster that is neither human nor demigod, and his former ambition has been replaced by corrupt greed.

The so-called audience with Lakkad was nothing more than Tanis sending those rebels who had passed the test and had enough power to Lakkad's room, so that they could become Lakkad's food.

This was the reason why Tanis was willing to let Li You meet Lakkad. She just wanted Li You to become Lakkad's lunch.

For them, this was like high-end takeaway food delivered to their doorstep.

Although from Li You's perspective, Tanis was obviously a little too self-righteous. Takeaway? Didn't they consider that the food would bite people?

However, Lakkad, who was swallowed by the big snake, had a passive skill, which was that he was almost immortal. Even if he was defeated, he could be resurrected again one day, so Tanis really had nothing to be afraid of.

However, that was only the usual case...

At the Volcano Residence, the taciturn Bernal looked at Patch who was in a very bad state on the field, then looked at Li You who was standing opposite and watching happily, and finally glanced at Tanis who was sitting in the main seat, and finally snorted in a voice that was almost inaudible to others:

"...That woman is crazy."

Bernal also saw what Tanis was thinking: "Rakade turned into a big snake with only greed, and only knew how to devour other faded people to enhance her own strength; although this woman is the only one who stayed by his side as a human, has she also turned into a snake in her heart? The greed of snakes... can kill themselves."

He saw all this, but remained silent, just watching Patch who was chased around everywhere, and finally was knocked to the ground by Kara's Dark Night Gravel, and then suffered countless Gravel combos.

In the end, Patch almost lay on the ground, crying and admitting defeat and begging for mercy, so that Kara stopped, and then he was carried away like Diaros.

After this round, according to the best-of-three format, Li You's team had won. Tanis wanted to announce the result directly, but Li You stood up and said, "Wait, I want to finish the third game."

"Oh?"

Tannis glanced at him, and then at Bernard, obviously a little surprised by Li You's proposal. She naturally understood that Li You seemed to be very interested in Bernard.

Tannis also knew that Bernard had taught Li You some simple fighting skills in Nimgufu in the past, but other than that, the two should not have any intersection.

Although she was a little curious, Tanis would not oppose Li You at this time. Seeing that Bernard had no objection, she nodded and said, "Okay. Then finish the three games and announce the results."

Bernard and Li You looked at each other, then walked to the front and took out their weapons.

"Please."

"Please."

Li You drew out the spiral sword from his waist. As he drew out the sword, the spiral sword gradually changed its shape and finally turned into a dark golden long-handled axe decorated with a solar eclipse wheel.

This was a weapon obtained in the Shadow Land. It belonged to the elite knight who served the dead prince Godwin. It was the long-handled axe of the Death Knight.

Bernard also took a look at this weapon he had never seen before. He could feel that the flow of magic power in this weapon changed at the moment of the change of shape, which surprised Bernard.

"What kind of weapon is this? It actually has such a strange ability?"

However, he immediately refocused his attention on Li You. The next moment, the figures of the two suddenly disappeared from the original place, and then collided with each other in an instant!

"Dang——!!"

With a loud bang, the long-handled axe of the Death Knight and Bernard's two-handed giant sword intertwined, sparks burst out, and the two stood still for a while.

"Why did you come to the Volcano Residence?" Bernard asked Li You in a low voice at this distance, "You should have enough Great Runes, and no longer need the one that blasphemes the king, and the rebels should not have offended you."

"Is it to punish evil and promote good? To eliminate the rebels who kill and plunder their companions?"

Li You said: "I came here for many reasons. One is to blaspheme the king or the big snake, and as for the other, I actually came to see you, Mr. 'Rebel' Bernard."

"No, or should I call you... 'Quasi-King' Bernard?"

Bernard: "!!"
