Black Chapter (5) Duel
Venlos didn't react for a moment, and shouted angrily, "Who? Come out! "He is very unhappy now, someone dares to sabotage his execution, and he wants the saboteur to pay!
"A big black worm, his temper is quite violent!" The fangs tugged at the shield, which vanished after a few flashes of blood-red light, and the court mage who cast the spell seemed to be devoured, his fingers holding the staff were pale, and his body swung and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Can't you sit down and talk about something? Do you have to fight and kill? Behind Yumir, a pitch-black boy stepped out, holding the strange single-edged sword that had broken the shield.
Venlos took a few steps back, and the four royal guards entered a state of alert, and the cavalry who attacked the members of the "Cold Fang" also flew over, and they, smelled the smell of danger on this young man, especially Venlos, the young man seemed to have a familiar aura on his body, but the aura seemed to be there, and he couldn't remember where he had encountered it, but he could destroy the shield of the court mage with a single sword, and it was a potential huge threat to him, to the "Empire", this young man and the sword in his hand.
Unlike Venlos, who was on full guard, Starlight, Ymir, and the remaining three members of Cold Fang, breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what the purpose of this mysterious teenager was, without a shield, they would have a good chance of escaping here, but Starlight looked at the young man's appearance and seemed to be a little familiar.
"Dare to ask if Your Excellency is an enemy or a friend?" The other party must not be a simple person, but also a strong man, and out of caution, Venlos maintained the respect he considered necessary.
The young man pointed to the group of "Yumir" and "Starlight", and smiled kindly: "Let them go, they are friends, otherwise, I would like to learn the giant sword in your hand!" ”
"This group of people is a 'Empire' repeat offender, are you going to oppose the 'Empire'?" Venlos asked tentatively, and his men prepared to do so.
"I don't care if you're the 'kingdom of earth' or 'the kingdom of heaven'!" The young man did not hide the contempt in his mouth, "I just can't get used to seeing you bullying the weak!" If you have the ability, find someone similar to you! ”
"Pretty much the same as me? Your Excellency, how shall I look for you? Venlos was not only breathing, but also about to bring sparks in his eyes, but the mysterious young man in black ignored it.
"Looking for me? You're going to challenge me? "The mysterious boy seems to have heard a fantasy.
"What? Scared? If you're scared, get out! Don't get in the way here! "The young man's attitude makes Venlos very angry, no matter who he is, cut it first!
Unexpectedly, the young man smiled "haha" and said happily: "You want to challenge me?" Okay! Let's make a bet, I win, you all fuck off! If I lose, what if you leave all the people alive at your disposal? ”
"No way!" Before Venlos could speak, the court mage objected, "What if these guys run away during your battle?" ”
"Are you kidding?" The boy's eyes widened, "Four rangers, four royal guards, and a court mage...... Oh! Although it has half a life left, don't tell me about this lineup, I can't stand these people! ”
"You have a point, but I don't think they're going to be obedient, they're not the kind of people who like to leave their fate to others, if they do something unnecessary......" Venlos said again.
"Then kill it!" The boy said dryly, and everyone in the room opened their mouths wide.
"Then kill it, whoever doesn't stay honest, kill it!" Thinking that everyone had not heard clearly, the boy repeated it again.
"Very reasonable, I'll bet with you!" There was no reason to refuse the conditions, Venlos agreed to the boy's bet, and he also wanted to see how strong the potential threat of this "empire" was.
"You guys! Come here! The young man broke the shackles of "Starlight" with a sword, pulled "Starlight" to "Ymir", and let the members of "Cold Fang" who survived in the distance gather, "Listen, if you want to live, just wait here obediently, you have heard the bet, if you die by yourself, I will not stop you." ”
"Our lives, we control ourselves! Why should I trust you? As Venlos said, Ymir was not willing to leave his fate in the hands of unrelated people.
"The reason is simple." The young man smiled with great confidence, "He, he can't beat me!" ”
"Empty words! How can I trust you? Ymir asked.
"I believe in him!" "Starlight" finally remembered the appearance of the boy, "He's a miracle, he's the captain of that legendary squad, the 'Nightwings', the 'Black Crow'!" ”
"'Black Crow'?" The boy paused for a moment and smiled, "It's a good name, but it's a pity that you recognize the wrong person, I'm not a 'black crow', you can call me, Zero." ”
"You're not a 'black crow'? So who the hell are you? Starlight was a little more wary of the boy who called himself "Zero", after all, in this era, it was really impossible to unconditionally trust a stranger, and the powerful demonic beast turned into a human form, and the things that played and hurt humans happened more than once, twice.
Zero didn't care about the subtle change in Starlight's attitude, and the confident smile on his face didn't change, and he walked towards Venlos.
"Venlos, the Black Knight of the Empire." Venlos bowed slightly, as a sign of respect, he didn't think he would lose to a mere human, but Zero still made a deep impression on him, this human is not easy.
"The 'Black Knight'? Sounds pretty powerful. The smile on Zero's face was light-hearted, "Zero, a passing traveler. ”
"Traveler? You don't look like your average traveler! I can smell that stinking bat with that weapon in your hand! Venlos took advantage of this moment and took a good look at Zero, the other party is indeed an ordinary human, but the strange-shaped sword in his hand is not ordinary, Venlos is sure that it is a weapon forged by the blood clan, and it is forged for a blood clan with a considerable status, in the non-magical dimension, an ordinary human being, it is too unbelievable to have such a weapon, and it also makes Venlos subconsciously think that the strength of Zelo depends on the power of the weapon in his hand.
Zeroo held the sword in one hand and danced a few times at will, the sword drew several rounds of beautiful blood-red crescents in the air, "I don't understand what you said, this sword was accidentally acquired by me during my travels, if you are afraid, I will not use it." ”
"No need! You can use it first! Wait until I kill you, and then study it carefully, you strange sword of unknown origin! "No sword? What kind of international joke is this? The dignified Black Knight of the "Empire", Venlos, took out an unarmed human in an official duel? He can't afford to lose face!
What's more, the weapon in Zero's hand is not a mortal thing, and the black heavy sword in his Venlos hand is also not created casually, this is the ingenuity of the top weapon casters of the dragon clan, and he followed Venlos to fight in the south and north, after the full tempering of blood and killing, and the blessing of the contemporary dragon king himself, even if it is not a divine soldier, it will not be worse than the strange sword in Zero's hand.
"That's what you said, if you wait to lose, don't make excuses!" Zero kept a relaxed smile, bowed forward slightly, and twisted his feet, like a red and black dazzling light, flashed in front of Venlos, and the sword in his hand, from a very tricky angle, slashed horizontally at Venlos's waist.
"Good speed! It's a pity that the strength is a lot worse! However, the power of one-handed weapons has never been good! Venlos also held the sword in one hand, and his body took two steps back, widening the distance between him and Zero, although it seemed that he easily provoked Zero's attack, but Venlos was shocked in his heart.
After all, weapons are only auxiliary, no matter how strong the weapon is, the user's ability is insufficient, and the divine weapon becomes a mortal thing, and, in this dimension, limited by the environment and rules, magic, especially magic props and weapons, cannot exert all its strength, under various conditions, Zero can reach this speed with a human body, Venlos is quite unexpected.
Venlos briefly wondered if Zero was the one who had slipped through their dimension while the "Empire" had opened the teleportation, but he had not sensed the breath of their dimension in Zero.
"Could it be that you're a traveler from another dimension?" Unconsciously changed to holding the sword in both hands, Venlos was a little cautious, and the black heavy sword in his hand was pressed down like a mountain, blocking the space around Zero, and Zeroo was only left in front, resisting a road, and a head-on hard encounter was the advantage of heavy weapons.
Venlos wanted to take the advantage first, but Zero naturally wouldn't let him succeed easily, and a side dodge rushed forward in succession, his figure was like a blade, not only dodging Venlos's sword, but also cutting a path in the sealed space. The heavy sword landed, and Zero also moved behind Venlos, turning around and cutting horizontally, Venlos didn't have time to turn around to deal with it, so he had to use the hard dragon tail covered with armor to block between Zero's sword and his own body.
The bloody blade as bright as a crescent moon slashed through Venlos's dragon tail, letting out a tooth-sore scream, bursting out in strings of golden sparks, but obviously, Zero had a wealth of combat experience and skills that were extremely incommensurate with his age, Venlos wanted to crush Zeroo with frontal power at one time, and Zeroo used the advantage of one-handed sword agility to avoid the front edge of Venlos, and he didn't care whether one of his cross-cuts could hurt Venlos or not, and after returning his hand, sword after sword, the autumn wind attacked Venlos's back in a falling leaf style.
The sword's almost non-stop attacks forced Venlos to use his tail to barely block Zero's attacks again and again. Venlos tried several times to find an opportunity to turn the tide of the battle to the front, but Zero's speed and skill were not like ordinary humans, and even his physical strength was inhuman.
Black debris splashed, the so-called dripping water piercing stones, no matter how strong Venlos's armor is, it also has a limit to endure, under the successive attacks of Zelo's extraordinary sword, the armor on Venlos's tail finally appeared, faintly revealing the tail under the armor.
You have to find a way to get the edge! The dragon scales are very strong, but they are definitely not as good as the special armor on Venlos, he doesn't plan to use his body to resist a weapon from the blood clan, those stinky bats, what they like most is to attach all kinds of curses to their weapons, no matter what dimension, this is the case. Moreover, it wasn't just him and Zero, if he made a human so embarrassed, wouldn't it be a big joke for the other guys.
Coldly spreading his wings, Venlos bounced into the air.
Using wings, although it goes against Venlos's original intention of defeating Zeroo head-on, but it's better than standing there and losing face, it's normal for dragons to use the ability to fly in a formal duel, and if you want to complain, you can only complain about the humans themselves, who told them that they didn't evolve wings to soar in the sky!
The target of the attack suddenly disappeared, and Zero swung several swords into the air, and under the effect of inertia, he fell forward a few steps, looking a little embarrassed.
"Hahaha! Humans are just humans after all! Compared to our noble dragon clan, it is still too far behind! Zero, I'll admit, you're pretty good at fighting! Even in our dimension, it can be regarded as the top level, but unfortunately, you are not a magician, not a 'sober person', and you lack long-range combat methods, your limitations are too obvious! The sky is where you can't reach it! Venlos slashed a sword at Zeroo in the air, and a black sword aura rushed down with a ferocious dragon roar.
The sword qi slammed into the ground, emitting a dazzling black light, and the thick dust dispersed, and a hideous crack appeared on the ground, which almost occupied a ten-meter-long street.
In the midst of the collapsed ruins on the side of the street, Zeroo stood in it, swept the dust from his sleeves, looked at the cracks in the street without saying a word, and then looked at Venlos in the sky, and the other members of the "Empire" who also flew into the sky not far away, moved his mouth, and lost his smile.
"Throw in the towel, human! You can't win! At least in this dimension, you can't win! Keep fighting, and if you accidentally hurt someone else on the street, you can't blame me! Venlos took his sword and pointed to the left of Zero, where the Phantom Curtain was hiding, the girl huddled in the ruins, her head covered in ash and shivering.
Ignoring Venlos, Zero walked straight to the "Phantom Curtain" and brushed the dust off the girl slightly, "Are you alright?" ”
"I didn't ...... It's okay. The "Phantom Curtain" was trembling, and after fighting with the "Empire" for several years, it was the first time that she had brushed shoulders with death, and all the preparations she had usually made in her heart completely collapsed in an instant.
"Go stay with your companions!" Zero's strong-minded commands are sometimes more effective than comfort in times of fear.
The Phantom Curtain stood up tremblingly, and the puppet seemed to obey Zero's orders and ran as fast as possible to Starlight and the others, watching the girl run through the street, and the sword in Venlos's hand shook restlessly.
"Venlos, the dignified 'Empire' Black Knight, I ask you, what about the arrogance of the dragons in your mouth? What about honors? Zero asked Venlos in the sky.
