Chapter 34 Substitute Magic Spirit
"Why don't you kill yourself?"
When Varcas said this, it did not mean that he was sure of victory. On the contrary, it was a signal that he had given up.
It is possible to commit suicide in a deathmatch ring.
Once he commits suicide, the death match will end, the chip restriction will be activated again, and Varkas will not be able to whip the corpse at all.
As long as Ash allows himself to have a whole corpse, the medical doctors can communicate with the virtual realm through the magic spirit and pull his soul back into the body from the fog of the virtual realm.
When Ash avoided his first mountain-shattering miracle, he had already lost, and subsequent attacks were nothing but lucky struggles. Even if he could win this life-and-death battle, he still wouldn't be able to complete his mission and completely kill Asher Hiss.
Compared to the failure of the mission, the scene in front of him made Varkas feel more uncomfortable.
There's nothing more painful than watching a genius rise, and if anything, that's a stepping stone to your becoming that genius.
Even though Varcas is a middle-aged elf who is over a hundred years old, he is still angry and aggrieved by this kind of operation - is there any mistake? There are so many unlucky people in this world, why is it me?
To be honest, Varkas was already a little bit depressed, so he directly gave the speedrun answer, hoping that Ash would end this nightmare as soon as possible.
"Why do you want to commit suicide? I haven't lost yet."
"Do you think you have a chance to defeat me?" Varkas laughed angrily: "Oh yes, thousands of years later, bards will recite your glorious deeds on the street, 'Those who have never learned swordsmanship' Asher Hiss faced an ungrateful elf swordsman in a battle, and finally miraculously defeated the latter, starting from this the beginning of his glorious life without defeat."
"Ah, kind-hearted Mr. Ash, humble Valkas begs you to mention my name in your future autobiography, and let me be notorious as a clown for eternity? Huh?"
"So, Varcas, when are you going to publish your book?"
Ash raised his left hand with difficulty and wiped away the blood flowing from his forehead to prevent the blood from clinging to his eyelashes and affecting his vision. There was still a smile on his face.
"I just have a reason to win against you."
"What reason?"
"I want to ask you if Celine Dole sent you to kill me, and if there is another conspiracy behind my imprisonment."
Varkas flicked the sword lightly, flicking away the blood-stained debris on it.
"What does this have to do with you trying to beat me?"
"If I didn't win you, would you answer?"
"Maybe, maybe not. Moreover, even if I answer, can you tell whether it is true or false?"
"I asked someone else your question just now." Ya Xiu took a deep breath: "He asked me to solve a doubt. I said, if I lie, can you tell it? He said he can really tell it. .”
"So you can too?"
"No, I can't. But I thought to myself, the answer I get after beating you up will be closer to the truth than the answer I get simply by asking you, right?"
"I haven't heard such an innocent reason for a long time since I left the nursing home."
Varkas grinned. He had maintained an elegant posture from the moment he entered the door to the battle, but for the first time he showed a ferocious color: "But if you don't commit suicide, you may really die."
"Then it depends on whether your sword is faster or mine."
"Kill you before you commit suicide? Interesting, I accept the challenge."
"Ah, that's not what I meant..."
Ash clenched the hilt of the sword, all the muscles in his body were basic.
"After all, I have no plans to retire here. If I can't even cross your stepping stone, then what qualifications do I have to leave this prison?"
"Shameless talk!"
The ground that had long been torn apart cracked again, and the invisible sword energy was drawn into a ferocious outline by the dust, like a giant sword stabbing Ash from the ground!
Ash didn't blink, trying his best to avoid the sword energy and the shattering flying stones, prolonging the battle so that his body could absorb as much swordsmanship experience as possible!
Swordswoman's swordsmanship experience is really not insignificant. Ash could not even see Valkas's sword clearly from the beginning, but now he can predict Valkas' sword path from Valkas's shoulder. He may not really be able to see it. He knows how to use a sword, but at least he is proficient in how to dodge a sword.
He is not simply looking for death, he is really confident of defeating Varkas.
With the blessing of Sword Queen's swordsmanship experience, the miracle of "Collapse of Mountains and Ground" is no longer an unsolvable fog. On the contrary, when Varkas is unable to exert his full strength, "Collapse of Mountains and Ground" reveals a flaw that can be exploited!
Just like the last big question of mathematics in the college entrance examination, Ash suddenly discovered a magical auxiliary line. He felt that he had a chance to conquer this difficult problem!
Give Ash a little more time, he thinks he can even find the flaw in the impact surface of the mountain-shattering ground, and pass through the gap to kill Varkas!
Just give him a little more time——
boom!
Ash groaned, and the magic power in his mind started to circulate again with a cool breath, allowing his reason to suppress the severe pain in his thighs, and barely avoided the mountain-shattering ground!
He glanced at his thigh with his peripheral vision, and then he didn't dare to look down again.
"Your growth rate is indeed amazing. Unfortunately, you are tired."
Varcas' tone could not suppress his regret, "You started losing blood from the very beginning, and after such a fierce battle, you have lost so much blood that your brain has begun to lack oxygen and your physical strength has declined. So. , you are getting slower and slower.”
"Even if you can suppress the pain and continue fighting, your body can't fight anymore. I cut off a piece of flesh on your thigh, and with the blood flowing from the front, it's beyond my expectation that you didn't go into shock immediately."
"Do you know why I talk to you so much? Because the longer time passes, the more energy you lose. Now your sword can no longer be faster than my sword. Before you commit suicide, my sword Will crush your remains first."
"Thank you, Ash. Sorry, Ash."
After saying that, Varkas rushed forward and swung his sword, and the fierce sword energy broke through the ground again, causing the mountain to crack and the earth to collapse!
Can my capacity only go so far...
Ash sighed inwardly.
Ash had already anticipated the danger of this deadly fight long before Igura told him the information about Varkas. After all, there is no grievance or enmity, so how could anyone challenge him, a newcomer who only fought in one death fight?
If a strange colleague suddenly gives you a shoestring, it must be because of a conflict of interest.
So why did Ash accept a death match again?
You must know that even before entering the ring, Ash can refuse directly. Others can't even say dirty words and despise him. Ash has this freedom.
But Ash didn't want to back down.
First of all, he needs an opponent to digest the swordsmanship experience shared by Sword Girl. There is no place more suitable for being beaten than the death fighting arena, a dangerous and safe place.
Secondly, if you can hide for a while, you won't be able to hide forever. Even if Ash refuses this fight to the death, other troubles will come to him sooner or later.
The most important thing is, as he said himself, he is the one who wants to escape from prison. If he can't even cross a stepping stone like Varcas, then what kind of prison can he escape from? Just lie down and retire!
But there are not so many miracles in life. Even if there are, they are other people's miracles...
Just when Ash was about to slit his throat with his sword and commit suicide, he suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from the audience.
It's Sword Princess.
"If you feel pain, just think of yourself as someone else, that way it won't hurt."
At this moment, Ash felt like ice cubes melted in his mind. The magic power is running wildly, but it is tightly bound by an invisible cage, and the magic power cannot touch reality at all!
Magic power will be locked, but knowledge cannot. Even if their hands and feet are tied, they will still grow wings and fly.
The substitute spirit that had been silent all this time suddenly began to dance in Ya Xiu's consciousness.
Ash had almost no hesitation. He did not dodge or retreat. He chose to charge towards Varkas with his long sword!
"it's over."
Varkas couldn't help but feel a little melancholy in his heart as he watched 'Axiu' being submerged by the mountain-shattering sword energy. As a swordsman, in his more than a hundred years of experience, he has never seen a swordsman apprentice with better talent than Xiu Xiu.
If it were a different time, a different place, and a different identity, Varkas felt that even if he was to be used as a stepping stone... it wouldn't be a bad idea...
There is nothing more painful than watching a genius rise, and nothing more exhilarating than watching a genius rise up close.
Snapped.
Hearing a sound like a bursting bubble, Valkas suddenly felt something was wrong. He took a closer look and found that 'Yashu' dissipated directly under the impact of the sword energy, leaving no flesh and blood -
It's a phantom stand-in!
"it's over!"
Varkas turned his head slightly and realized that in the blind spot of his field of vision, the ground had thrown up a large amount of dust and gravel due to the mountain-breaking attack, so much so that it could cover up the charge of a seriously injured person!
When Varkas's sword fell to the ground, Ash's sword did not enter the former's throat.
The unedged sword edge passed through the throat!
Ding ding ding!
"The winner has been decided, the winner is Ash Hiss!"
