Chapter 778: A Man's War (4)
To Allen's surprise, Link's sharp sword was used with his left hand. In general, people are better at using their right hand to exert force. Even if there are fierce men who use double blades, generally speaking, there will be a slight difference in the strength of the attack between the two hands, both are weak on the left and strong on the right. It is rare for both hands to exert the same force, or even the opposite.
But Link's sword is clean and neat, a simple straight stab, but it has a feeling of piercing the sky. It wasn't an easy move, but it took a lot of practice to stab such a sword.
Eren immediately spun around, dodging the straight stab while the long knife swept and swung towards Link's waist. There is also no superfluous action, but there is an undisguised conquest and killing intent in the sword! Link touched the ground with his left foot, and the man jumped into the air. Alan's knife was almost touching the soles of his feet, and if he had been half a beat slower, it would have been a completely different consequence.
Link squinted slightly, and Allen's knife skills were refined. Like this knife just now, it completely abandons any fancy, only speed. This is a knife technique to kill!
The two attacked each other, and they both got to know each other a little.
Link landed, turned, and sprinted. It was the sword in his left hand again, and the long sword was almost weightless in his hand, and in an instant, it was like a machine gun and he didn't know how many stabs it had stabbed. Alan only felt that the other party's sparkling sword light was shining in front of him, dense as a shower. Even a sword stabbed out to generate energy pressure on his eyes, which affected his eyesight, making him unable to see Link's figure a little.
Such a sword skill!
"Starry ......" Metalon leaned forward slightly, "I haven't seen this move for a long time, but it hasn't triggered the source force, and it was used by Link." If it was used by Archduke Rebes, it would be a moving scene full of meteors. ”
Everyone around them listened, as if they were imagining what a spectacular scene it must have been.
At this moment, Allen's eyes were as Metalon said, seeing meteors in the sky. But the stars also flickered, and he snorted softly. The whole person suddenly had a tragic momentum, and I saw Alan raise his knife and lean forward. Ignoring the starlight sword strength of those virtual and real beings, he suddenly crashed into Link's sword shadow with a bang. The long knife slashed out indifferently, but it gave birth to a tough momentum of the three armies.
The starry sky suddenly dispersed.
Link took three steps back, and finally raised his right hand, which he had been using until the end, and slashed at the knife Allen with three consecutive swords in a delicate way. The first sword was bounced off by the long knife, the second sword choked the sword slightly, and the third sword made the long knife deflect to one side. It was only a fraction of a second, but it flashed past Link's side. The blade slammed into the ground, and a crack was immediately cracked in the ground of the training ground. The gap stretched out, creating a three-meter-long, ten-centimeter-deep scar.
Link looked at the scar with a glaring look. Allen's knife didn't use the source power, in other words, it was the basic power of his body. With only basic strength being able to cut through such a crack, Link didn't feel like his body without armor was as hard as the ground. Of course, his body protection source power is enough to turn a serious injury into a minor injury, but in that case, it is equivalent to him losing.
Suddenly, he regretted that he seemed to be too big. Perhaps, as Alan said, it would be better to wear armor.
The two regained their distance.
The series of attacks and defenses just now dazzled people, whether it was the envoys of Idahuaxing or the soldiers of the vultures, they all applauded the wonderful battle between the two. Mira put down her hand and said: "Young Master Link is really powerful, the attack and defense of the starry swordsmanship have been separated by him, but there is such a wonderful performance, it is really impressive." And the human who fought against him, although I am not a warrior, it is also good to be able to force Young Master Link to adopt a defensive position. ”
Metalon nodded and said, "Alan is indeed good. At his age, being able to understand the sword technique so deeply is already a first-class talent. But ......"
"But what?" Mira asked.
"It's nothing, they're going to have a second round fight." Metalon smiled.
Mira laughed and said nothing, Metalon's obvious unfinished sentence just now, and he didn't know what he was trying to say.
Looking at Alan, Metalon sighed softly. For the person Lucy likes, how could the royal court inquire about it at all. Ofascist personally ordered that people find out the details of Allen. Allen's life has already been reported and presented in front of the Emperor's case. Metalon had also seen that report, and to be honest, Alan was excellent. Whether it's your potential, your talent, or your talent for sequence design, you're all a genius. But he was imprisoned by the source force, which became a dangerous mountain in front of his genius, making the person who should be dazzling become dim.
As long as the source power is imprisoned, Allen's end point will come faster than Link's, and his martial arts path will be even shorter, so short that even people like Ofasc have sighed for him. But because of this, Ofascist did not immediately ask Lucy to come back. According to the Emperor's meaning, he wanted Lucy to see Allen's limits. He believed that when Lucy saw that Alan's achievements would stop below level twenty, he would be one of the ordinary men. His daughter will eventually wake up and know that Alan is not someone she can trust for life.
At that time, Lucy will return to him.
Of course, Lucy wouldn't know about all this, and Metalon wouldn't say it. Both he and Ofascist waited, waiting for the moment when Allen came to the end. And judging by all indications, Allen has clearly reached the end.
He's been stuck at level nineteen for too long!
If according to all the information he got before, as long as the potential is reasonable, Allen should have broken through after so many battles. But he was still hovering at the nineteenth level, even if his combat skills were exquisite, but so what. No amount of subtle skill can make up for the gap in strength. Especially when the level is pulled out of ten or eight, the senior can completely rely on absolute strength to roll.
This is also the reason why Metalon did not stop Link from continuing to challenge Allen, and he wanted to take this opportunity to let Allen and Lucy see the current situation clearly.
While Lucy will certainly be hard to accept, time is enough to smooth everything out.
The old marquis's thoughts fluctuated, and suddenly he heard a roar in his ears. came back to his senses, but saw that two figures were entangled in the field.
Alan and Link's movements are already as fast as the four words, and both sides are fast and fast. Allen's knife is fierce, completely offensive, he abandons all defenses and launches a fierce attack with an indomitable momentum. Link, on the other hand, cautiously adopted a defensive stance. The long sword in his right hand continued to weave a dense and complex sword path, and it took all of Allen's attacks without leaking.
And whether it is offensive or defensive, both of them are extremely fast. The people watching the battle around the training ground were only masters such as Metalon, Roddy, and Catherine who could see the movements of the two of them. More only two fast-moving figures were seen, and the loud sound of gold and iron clashing frequently broke out between them, rubbing out a fluffy and shiny spark. By the time the speed of both sides was at its peak, the figures of the two had completely blurred, and only a dark afterimage was left in everyone's eyes, and it was impossible to distinguish between Eren and Link.
Such a fierce battle that people almost forgot to breathe.
Everything is always relative, there will be highs and valleys, there will be profits and losses of the month, and the tides will ebb and flow. Nothing can stay at the highest point forever, even if the gods have fallen, and the planets have been born and died.
Alan and Link are naturally no exception.
After pushing the speed to the fastest, the dark afterimage gradually turned into two blurred figures, and then the figures became clearer and clearer. In the end, there was a sound of Jin Ge in the field, and the two suddenly separated, each holding a sword and pointing at the other, but they all gasped for breath.
This competition is full of strength and strength, and no one can beat anyone in the result. But this is only the surface, such as Metalon, who can see that Link is actually taking advantage of it because of his more defense and less attack. Allen, on the other hand, is purely a hands-off attacker, and he consumes far more energy than Link. In this comparison, if you look at physical fitness alone, Alan is really above Link.
However, combat is not simply a competition of physical fitness, but strategy, reaction, source power, and skill are all indispensable. Link is not as physical as Allen, but his exquisite defensive skills make up for it, otherwise Allen would have broken through the defense line and the troops would have fallen into the city. It can be seen that the defensive skills of the Star Sword Technique are really powerful. If he and Link change places, under the same circumstances, even Metalon would not dare to say that he would definitely be able to block Allen's onslaught.
After all, the old marquis's combat skills are not known for their defensive skills.
"258 Knife ......" Link consumes less than Allen, and he is also on the front line to adjust his breathing. He said: "You just shot a total of 258 knives, and it took no more than a minute. That is, you make at least four strikes per second. Although among the people I know, you are not the fastest with a knife. But at your level, you're the first one who can use a knife so quickly. ”
"Alan, you are indeed amazing, I apologize for my previous hubris. But I'm sorry, if you can't beat me, I won't agree with you. Even if I can't take His Highness away today, I will find another way. ”
Alan nodded: "I'll let you die." ”
"Oh?" Link pulled his glasses on, "Can you tell me, where does your confidence come from?" ”
"It's very simple, I think I've seen through your routine." Alan smiled, "If I'm not mistaken, you are completely splitting the two different means of attack and defense in a kind of swordsmanship. Your right-handed sword is responsible for defense, while your left-handed sword is dedicated to attacking. Generally speaking, people are used to right-handing, and you are the opposite, and I think you are trying to make your opponent misestimate your routine. So as to receive the effect of the surprise soldier, right? ”
"And then?"
"If you can make your left hand as flexible as your right, I'll take a guess. In fact, attacking on the left and defending on the right is also to create illusions. In fact, for you, it makes no difference which hand is responsible for offense and defense? ”
Link was surprised, and only nodded after a moment: "Obviously, you attacked so fiercely just now, and you can still observe so many things." Mr. Allen, you are indeed a worthy opponent. ”
