Chapter 1352 Swordsmanship Duel, Great Victory
It was definitely impossible for Shado to agree to such a competition, at least not in the name of Elf Magic or Nese Magic, so he said:
"Perhaps you already think you can represent Elf Magic, but I cannot represent Nese Magic. Such a duel is completely meaningless."
"Are you scared?" The golden elf mage immediately replied.
Then, he wanted to continue shouting, but as if he had received some kind of instruction, his body trembled violently, his lips moved, and he remained silent for a long time.
When Xia Duo saw this, he probably understood something. If he challenged himself with something like this, Ye Erlan was really in decline, but at this time, he couldn't let him go easily.
Turning his hand, an elf-style long sword appeared in Sha Duo's hand. He pointed the sword at the golden elf mage opposite and shouted:
"Sword duel, or get back to your place!"
Xia Duo was still a young man, and he was at the banquet, so he could naturally indulge a little. When he heard his reverse challenge, the golden elf mage immediately agreed as if listening to fairy music:
"Okay, sword duel!"
In the eyes of ordinary humans or elves, humans are not good at swordsmanship. The main reason is of course that swordsmanship focuses more on skills. Since humans have a short life span, they do not have as much time to practice for a long time like elves.
Especially a senior arcanist who showed off his age.
But compared to swordsmanship, it is better for all parties no matter whether they win or lose. After all, the default swordsmanship is the elf swordsmanship. It is not said that just because humans win, they are all hostile to him. Humans also use elf swordsmanship, so they should be happy.
…
Just when Xia Duo proposed a sword showdown, he also received a message from Iolum, "You really don't need to compete with him in swordsmanship. If he wants a spell showdown, just use a spell showdown. No amount of gossip can hurt him in front of his strength." We get nothing!”
But the promise has been made, and Iolum also wants Shado to give up the competition, and instead provides Shado with the information he obtained from Ilfaran about the Yeerlan mage named "Fris" in the field. Part of the information——
A senior mage who is also proficient in swordsmanship. His swordsmanship style is ever-changing and can often catch his opponents off guard. He is known as the "Master of Swordsmanship" in Yeerlan.
Although such a reputation may have some bonuses from a senior mage, it should not be underestimated.
In response, Xia Duo held his sword and saluted the cloud seat of the onlookers above, and deliberately paused for a second in the direction of Iolum to express his deep gratitude.
After that, he signaled the start of the battle with the sword-holding salute most commonly used in ancient swordsmanship duels. Unfortunately, the guy in front of him was so shallow that he couldn't even recognize the ancient sword-holding salute, let alone make a return gift. .
It's just that the sword-holding ceremony itself has the tendency to initiate a fight. Even if Friss doesn't understand the meaning behind it, he still knows that Shado is going to attack.
So he hurriedly cast a spell to retrieve the long sword that had been inserted in front of Sha Duo but was now far away from him due to the change of venue, and then took the initiative to attack with the sword.
…
As if he heard the sighs of the onlookers above, Xia Duo also sighed silently, raised his sword to face the opponent's offensive, and passed by one by one, one by one, and one by one.
Then Frese attacked again, but Chateau easily defused it like a walk in the forest. The so-called swordsmanship, no matter how fancy it is, in the end, when implemented at the actual level, it is nothing more than the movement trajectory of the sword tip and blade.
The human body, including the body of elves, has limits, so swordsmanship also has limits. Although Sha Duo cannot penetrate the limits, driven by the powerful body after awakening his bloodline, he can always use fast to defeat slow, and use strength to defeat weakness.
As long as you ensure that the opponent's sword tip and the movement trajectory of the blade do not touch your own vital points, then no matter how many times the opponent launches an offensive, it will be of no avail.
After several rounds of fighting, Frese's aura had become a little chaotic, but Xia Duo was still calm and calm.
If the fight continues, Frese's defeat is almost certain. After losing to a human in a sword duel, Frese can almost imagine what kind of criticism he will encounter when he returns to the country.
Thinking that the two sides had only agreed on a sword duel before the competition, but not on the specific details, Fris gritted his teeth and decided to take a risk.
Of course, at the beginning of the cheating, Frese still had a hint of temptation. As long as the big shot above didn't stop, and as long as the other party didn't object, there was no doubt that he could continue.
…
On the other side, when Xia Duo saw the magic aura glowing from the tip of the opponent's sword, he knew that the opponent had lost.
Generally speaking, spells can indeed be used in sword duels between elves, but for humans, spell casting requires concentration, and it is almost impossible to cast spells during a sword duel. (You can use instant spells stored in the magic network)
It's impossible for Frese not to know this, otherwise, he would have been using magic from the beginning.
Sword duels between normal humans and elves are all about swordsmanship. In addition to showing fairness, there is another important factor, that is, humans who can usually compete with elves in sword duels are usually not mages.
This allowed Freese to find a loophole.
Unfortunately, Xia Duo is not an ordinary human being. In addition to being trained as a swordsinger in the projection plane, he also has a relatively in-depth mastery of elf magic.
For him, this situation is completely a small scene, but he doesn't want the opponent to end easily. There is still a big difference between casting a spell and winning without casting a spell.
…
With the opponent's sword already bringing up the wind blade when he swung it, Xia Duo knew that he had to fight quickly. If he really waited for the opponent to use the Sword Singer's [Space Jump], it would be almost impossible for him to win without using a spell. The other party.
Thinking like this, Xia Duo immediately activated the spell-breaking ability of [Blade of Veto], and a circular field was born out of thin air at the tip of the sword, like an umbrella.
While eliminating all the wind blades brought by the opponent, it also disrupted the opponent's rhythm. Fres probably did not expect that Sha Duo actually had an ancient elf sword chanter's standard long sword in his hand, which appeared in the field of breaking spells. For a moment, he even stopped breathing for a moment.
If he had known earlier that he was fighting a real sword chanting master, he would never have been in such a limelight.
Next, Shado decisively seized the moment when Frese was distracted, quickly moved to the opponent's right hand holding the sword, and thrust his sword into the opponent's defensive blind spot due to the limitations of his body structure.
When Frese reacted and wanted to retreat to get some distance, Shado came forward again, the tip of his sword never leaving the opponent's defensive blind spot, neither attacking nor retreating, like a thorn in the back.
The feeling of being threatened like this was uncomfortable. After almost a few seconds, Frese could no longer bear the threat and teleported away.
At this time, the elder Evereska who originally gave the speech before the banquet announced: "The victory has been decided, and the banquet continues!"
The duel venue, where the clouds had dispersed, was instantly covered by the swarming clouds. Xia Duo saluted with his sword in all directions, then returned to his seat and accepted the praises of everyone calmly.
