Civilization Guardian Front

The emerald green hooded cloak that covers her body seems to blend in with the surrounding environment. If you don't pay close attention, even first-level adventurers will find it difficult to detect her existence.

Following the obvious traces left by the air burst through the woodland, Lyu came to the area in the southern forest near the entrance and exit of the seventeenth floor.

The flowers dedicated to a friend's grave brought countless questions to her heart...

Who is he?How did you know that there is a cemetery of members of the Astria family on the No.18 floor?How much do you know about that incident five years ago?Could it be the new adventurer recruited by Astoria, the main god who left Orario?Or a former acquaintance of the deceased... and many other conjectures kept coming to mind.

It's the best way to inquire clearly in person than to think about it yourself.

Maybe now is not the best time, but at least remember the appearance of that person before the clues disappear.Otherwise, if she missed this opportunity, she would not be able to find Olali in the crowd.

Heading west along the stream, judging by the slowing change of the air flow, the target seemed to be no longer galloping. She cautiously slowed down and approached slowly under the cover of the shade of the trees.

"A...anxious...made...nervous...sorry..."

Hearing a vague voice coming from ahead, the elf quickly dodged and hid behind a big tree.

Due to the distance, even though she had excellent hearing, she still couldn't hear the words clearly.

She poked her head out slightly, focusing her eyes on the forest...

In the not-so-large open space, a large tent with a very delicate appearance was camped here. In front of the curtain facing north, a young man with his back turned to Lyu was talking with two young girls.

The man's attire was very strange to the elves, but Lyu could recognize the person he was talking to at a glance.

Sword Princess, Fairy of a Thousand...

A well-known member of the Loki family and a frequent visitor to her work place, "Mistress of Plenty".

Judging from Refia's bulging backpack full of drops, the two of them were probably on their way back from a routine exploration.

(Not them...)

Although Sword Princess has wind attribute magic, and the Loki family also participated in the war against the dark faction, but the focus of the responsibility is the counterattack on the 27th floor earlier, and the understanding of the subsequent events is limited, which can basically be ruled out.

Coupled with the size of the footprint in the cemetery, the most likely visitor is undoubtedly the strange man.

The campsite by the stream probably also belonged to him.

It must have been detected by some means that someone was breaking in, so I hurried back...

While making inferences based on the existing information, Lyu concentrated on the young man's outfit, hair color, weapon and other details.

When she began to consider whether to approach further, Jian Ji suddenly drew the rapier from her waist, and followed the young man to an open space beside her.

The subsequent development of the situation is completely beyond Lyu's imagination...

...

"Oulali's first-level adventurer should have more than this skill, right?"

Ai Si, who retreated back to the position in front of the shot, just glanced at the burn marks on the damaged arm armor, and heard the opponent's provocative words.

Turning his gaze back to the front, he saw Chios standing leisurely with his sword in his hands, as if waiting for Sword Princess' next attack.

This man is so annoying...

Ai Si, who was still thinking about whether she should stop at this point when she was hit, rarely showed a little dissatisfaction.

blow!

Walking on the ground with her front foot, the blond girl rushed forward again.

Seeing this, the young man returned a satisfied smile.

After finally getting into an excellent state, how could he let the training object stop easily before playing to the fullest.

This time, he no longer put on the bull stance with the left and right horns, but held the sword in both hands and raised it above his head in a rooftop pose, actively launching an offensive.

Swish!

The pitch-black sword light locked onto the top of the girl's head and slashed down.

when!

Aisi swung the rapier, and with a strong force completely different from her light figure, she easily deflected the cutting line.

Unfortunately, this does not cause the opponent to reveal his flaws.

The young man holds the right thumb at the front of the hilt and presses the cross section of the long sword, steps forward half a step with his right foot diagonally to the left side of the sword girl, and grabs the left hand at the end of the hilt to exert force counterclockwise.

The blade slightly higher than the top of the head suddenly spun like a windmill across a semicircle, sweeping towards the girl's face.

Although she was not familiar with the moves Chios used, relying on her understanding of swordsmanship, Ais still foresaw the trajectory of the blow, and immediately dodged it with a low body.

Immediately, she stepped forward, and with a flick of her wrist, the flat-ended rapier suddenly split into several sword lights.

Swish swish!

Chios was not affected by this false move that seemed to be stabbed at the same time at first glance, but was actually full of deceiving people. His attention was always on Jian Ji's wrist until the moment when he tensed and exerted force.

Clang!

The blade of the Light Eater and the gauntlet intersect vertically, tightly biting the Sword of Despair, and swinging it to the right.

Compared with a slash with a clear direction and a large range of motion, a thrust that only needs to move the blade towards the target is much more unpredictable. The price is that once it is seen through, the attack that focuses all the force on the tip of the sword is very easy to be missed. Push away at any angle.

Seeing that Ais's center of gravity was leaning forward and lacking defensive means, the young man held the sword with both hands on his right shoulder and slashed down.Just as the opponent turned his head to dodge, he twisted his hand and turned the sword, forming a perfect cross with the previous cut, and cut the girl's neck with his back blade.

! ! !

The sword girl, whose mind was completely drawn to the point where the last sword fell, almost didn't notice the sudden attack coming from the opposite direction.

Swish!

A few strands of golden hair were cut off and scattered in the air.

(It was seen through again...)

There were waves in the girl's heart.

A few times the sword directly collided with the sword, Ais was very sure that Chios's strength and speed were not as good as hers.

According to common sense, simply relying on this advantage is enough for her to suppress the young man severely and beat him to a utter embarrassment.

Of course, the opponent is also aware of his own disadvantages, so he uses two hands to hold the sword to make up for the smallest difference in strength between the two; for the lack of speed, he relies on the small movement of his body and the lever formed by manipulating the end of the hilt with his left wrist. The casting of each style is accelerated to the fastest.

The above two are still within the scope of understanding.

The swordsmanship part is more weird...

Calculate the length and distance of various weapons, weight, arm span, blind spot... all factors, the degree of delicacy makes one doubt that it is not a move used to deal with dungeon monsters at all.

It feels closer to a skill specially used to deal with people who are good at thinking more, and after a long period of precipitation and elimination of impurities, take the essence and use it.

However, even if you use various means to make up for it, as long as the reaction can't keep up, it's still useless.

This is the most important reason for level suppression among adventurers.

The young man in front of him is unreasonable and ignores this...

Through accurate and unmistakable predictions and corresponding countermeasures in advance, the enemy can only struggle to survive under his sword like a prey falling into a serial trap.

why...

He entered the dungeon at the age of seven, struggling between life and death every day and night.

No matter how hard you try, you can't forgive yourself who is stagnant. In order to become stronger, you repeatedly urge your tired body and mind to continue to struggle unremittingly.

But why can't you win him?

Chapter 460 IX? Really Crazy

The blood is boiling.

Every time the heart beats, the energy sent to the whole body is so abundant that it makes one feel like it is burning. As long as the mind gives instructions, all the tendons that need to be mobilized will respond in an instant, and there is almost no delay.

The more difficult and tricky the skill, the more likely it is to use muscles that the human body cannot exercise normally. This is why even if you become a master of swordsmanship, you must persist in daily training to prevent your lazy body from forgetting the feel.

And how many times does an excellent swordsman swing his sword in his whole life, including practice?

million times?Hundreds of millions of times?

At this moment, Chios' cumulative training volume is at least a thousand times more...

The memory formed by the experience of tens of thousands of fighters in the Eye of Calamity is a hard-working skill that is difficult for mortals to achieve due to their life span and talent, and is forcibly embedded in the body of a young man.

Even though the attributes don't change at all, strength is still power, and so are agility and stamina.But in the state of maximizing efficiency, the loss of energy transmission in each part of the body is reduced to the minimum, and the effect is very different from usual.

At the same time, his thoughts remained clear, and he did not get carried away with his own improvement and use his own weaknesses to attack the enemy's strengths.

Knowing that it is impossible for you to catch up with Aisi in terms of speed, then give up chasing and stick to your position.Taking advantage of the dual advantages of longer arms and longer weapons, calculating the amount of advance based on the opponent's charge speed each time, he took the lead in launching the offensive, forcing Jian Ji to adjust her posture to receive the attack.

In this way, the number of shots by Aiz who lost the pre-emptive effect will be reduced, thus giving herself, who is less agile than her, a chance to counterattack.

With this tactic, no matter the girl tries to turn around from any angle, the young man who only needs to make low-level movement adjustments such as turning around and changing stances can quickly follow up, and never has to worry about the opponent catching him in the blind spot of his vision.

Clang!Clang!Chong...

The sword blades intersected and sparked.

Every time it flickers, either it means that Aisi's rapier is blocked, or it is a symbol of her embarrassing resistance when facing a counterattack.

I don't know how many times she was forced to retreat, but Jian Ji did not give up at all, and launched an attack on the wandering knight who stood still.

why?

Why can't I beat you?

The force gradually increased, but the intention became more and more confused, and the cutting thrust clearly conveyed the confusion in the girl's heart.

Indeed, even if Chios is in an unprecedentedly excellent condition, it is still not enough to make up for the huge disadvantage of the two in terms of physical fitness, especially in terms of speed.

After many fights, the young man has already discovered the biggest weakness of the blond girl in front of him...

The way of fighting is too pure.

Jian Ji is indeed very daring to fight, daring to fight, and has outstanding skills.

Unfortunately, Jian Ji couldn't take the initiative to drag the opponent into her own rhythm under the premise that the wandering knight didn't cooperate.

She doesn't know how to use words to provoke opponents, and when she sees the young man standing still like a tortoise shell, she doesn't throw stones to interfere, she just blindly tries to win with the sword in her hand, but fails again and again.

Although many methods may sound unrefined, sometimes breaking the deadlock requires such low-level tactics.

Whether it is vulgar or not is also different from person to person.

At least if it was Chios who did it, he would definitely be able to annoy the other party successfully without using a vulgar word.

Perhaps in Aisi's mind, fighting is fighting, and there is no need for other strange methods. Her life so far has been going all the way, and this way of fighting can always win the final victory.

so...

The girl seems to have put in a lot of effort, and the life she thinks she has lived through hard work is actually the product of the fact that talent and luck are always accompanied, and she has never realized the pressure to change her behavior.

This is the answer Chios gave her.

when!

The Light Eater took the first step to suppress the sword of despair that Aisi was stabbing head-on.

"A move that doesn't work the first time, don't expect it to work wonders the second time..."

Without turning the blade, Chios let go of the handle with his left hand, and hit the girl's chest heavily with the end of the handle with his right hand.

bump!

Compared with the first-level adventurers, although it is slightly inferior, it still belongs to the extraordinary power. The full-strength attack smashed the metal breastplate made of rare materials, and the reduced force on Jian Ji's body immediately knocked her back several steps. .

"Cough cough..."

The air in the lungs was forced out, and Ai Si coughed painfully.

"Miss Ace!"

Refia screamed in panic.

Feeling anxious, she reflexively wanted to run forward, but rationally told herself clearly that she could not be of any help in this kind of one-on-one duel.

The goblin who was helpless could only give Chios a hard look in the end.

It's a pity that this can't make the other party feel guilty at all...

"Don't look at me like that, I didn't take the opportunity just now to put a sword against her throat to decide the winner, I'm already very graceful..."

The black-haired youth shrugged and replied lightly.
