Destiny Thief

Chapter 90 Stab Sword and Great Sword III
Lars stared at the man in front of him. His slightly dark complexion due to long exposure to the sun and rain reminded him of the bandits and wandering mercenaries he met along the way - but that kind of sword skill was something he had seen everywhere in caves and mines. The corpse of a caveman lying down and killed by a single blow is something that that kind of people simply cannot have.

To be honest, by making reasonable use of the favorable terrain for defense, Lars was also certain to overthrow the large group of cavemen. The light in the mine was dim, and what he saw was only a part of them. Some of the caveman warriors among them were even several. He didn't pay too much attention to the mutant clock.This also made his judgment slightly biased.

But these things are not important anymore, because he saw in Alisa's eyes that she was eager to try.Lars took a step forward, he decided to issue a challenge, no matter whether the opponent accepts or not——

The long sword is unsheathed.

He held the standard long sword of the Iris Knights in his hand - a blade about one meter thick at the back and thin at the front, with sharp edges on both sides at the front. Under the sunlight, the steel-forged sword reflected circles of bright white patterns.Lars turned his waist, his arms drooped slightly, and he made a gesture commonly used by nobles in duels.

The man opposite finally sighed, "It seems that I have no choice."

Lars nodded silently, he held his breath, and with that soft sigh, the man's shoulders moved.This was a harbinger of a shot. Lars swung the long sword almost subconsciously, but the next second, he stopped——

The young man in front of him just stretched out his hand and scratched the messy hair on his head, he smiled, "This place doesn't seem to be suitable, it's too narrow." He glanced around to the left and right.Two rows of evergreen dense-leaved shrubs pruned into ellipsoids form a narrow path in front of the house, behind which are several tall trees with withered yellow skins, under the trees are placed several tables on the grass covered with dead leaves. Stone benches - Judging from these furnishings, this is a place to rest.It is unavoidable to destroy some flowers and plants for competitions.

As a guest of the manor, such behavior is by no means a courtesy.

The man glanced at Chia beside Alisa, who squinted her eyes and smiled, like a little fox who succeeded in plotting, she echoed, "There are a lot of open spaces in the manor."

"Then, we can change places."

Lars agreed with the man's proposal, and the group, led by Miss Qia, came to an empty competition ground - this was a place used by the guards in the manor for daily exercise, with several straw men used for sword practice. , there are also some wooden shelves of different shapes, piled up at even intervals between each other, filling most of the venue.

At this time, some guards who were not on duty were doing daily practice in it. When they saw Qi Ya, three noble knights, and a strange young man walking towards them, they all stopped their movements.

"Miss Qi Ya, what's going on with those few people?"

One of the guards poked his companion next to him and asked.

"Maybe he plans to practice swordsmanship, I don't know."

"Those nobles seem to be knights of the Iris Knights."

Another guard also joined the discussion.

"Miss Qi Ya completed her inauguration in the summer, maybe she asked a few knights to instruct her in swordsmanship."

"Well, but, wouldn't it be better to let the young master do this? Also, who is that mercenary walking behind?"

The guards were talking in low voices.After Miss Qia walked into the competition arena, they stopped talking and all bowed to salute the daughter of the Escud family - the girl with twin tails did not pick up the weapon and start practicing as usual, she came In the center of the field, he shouted to Lars and a certain gentleman with excellent swordsmanship:
"It's here, it's pretty good."

"It really fits."

Lars and Glo came to the field and stood facing each other.He held the sword in one hand and spread his palm with the other hand to signal the other party to take action first.As a noble, forcing a commoner to fight was not a very honorable thing. Lars had his own pride, so he decided to show courtesy.

Of course, in a swordsmanship contest, being first doesn't mean an advantage—Lars noticed the stabbing sword on the man's waist.This is a weapon that is easy to attack but not suitable for defense. According to his experience, the opponent's occupation should be [Assassin] or [Ranger].As an inaugural knight, this kind of pure frontal battle is undoubtedly very beneficial to him.

But Glo doesn't seem to accept this courtesy.

He stood there relaxedly, and with his right hand he pulled out the stabbing sword Justice [Jadis] from the scabbard on his belt. He did not pull it out completely, but only exposed a third of the sword. Body——This is a rare starting posture.However, Lars, Alyssa and Cody knew that this sword style originated from the wandering mercenaries. Although it did not have a formal name, the moment the sword was completely drawn, the attack it unleashed was by no means trivial. Disdainful.

Miss Chia lowered her raised arm——

Lars took a deep breath, took two steps, and chose a sideways, bottom-up slash.In the process of making this action, he flipped his wrist to prepare for the next slash - this is a sword style that is balanced between offense and defense and easy to adjust. Based on the opponent's reaction, he can choose the next step at any time. Actions.

He had already anticipated the lightning-like blow from the opponent, and made a plan to counterattack!

However, when he swung his long sword and reached the lowest point, the opponent's figure flashed in front of his eyes and disappeared suddenly - Lars saw the thorn sword pulled out of the scabbard, Bringing out a series of brilliant sparks produced by violent friction, he blocked it with his horizontal sword, but unexpectedly missed it.

The guards on the sidelines, Miss Chia, Alisa, and Cody all opened their mouths in surprise.Because, they saw such a rare sight:

The young man was dressed in elegant clothes, and a series of figures appeared from where he originally stood.One, two, three... They couldn't see how many consecutive figures appeared at the moment. All the figures finally overlapped into one, appearing behind Lars.Then, in the venue, a shining indigo electric light danced, accompanied by a crisp knocking sound.

The secret of the Wycliffe family, "Thunderbolt fencing"!
Alisa and Cody couldn't help being shocked. As soon as they fought, Lars actually used this kind of swordsmanship-as long-term companions, they certainly knew what this meant:
Lars is already giving it his all!
However, this sword technique consumes a lot of energy for the user, and with Lars' current strength, he will definitely not be able to support it for too long.

The two immediately became worried about their companions on the field.
