The Necromancer in the Wizarding World

Matthews could clearly feel the strong vibrations from the sword, which made him realize that if he continued to clash head-on with Hunter's sword, his right hand and arm holding the sword would soon lose consciousness.

So he began to use his flexible ghost steps to dodge more often, but he also knew that Hunter could not maintain this state for too long.

Hunter keenly noticed that Matthews' footwork was speeding up and he was cleverly avoiding his fierce attacks. He immediately adjusted his strategy and increased the speed of his sword. He understood Matthews' current situation and knew that the other party was delaying time.

Although Matthews' footwork is strange and fast, as elusive as a ghost, Hunter's footwork is equally agile and no less impressive.

However, after a long period of contact and confrontation, Matthews' sword-holding hand eventually became numb, which made his situation even more difficult.

Lord Harris showed a confident smile: "Matthews can't hold on any longer!"

Sophia immediately realized something, and she asked eagerly: "Is my brother going to win?"

Harris was calm and relaxed, saying, "If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the case."

The women all breathed a sigh of relief, and were sincerely happy for Hunter's victory. They firmly believed that Hunter's swordsmanship was indeed better than Matthews'.

However, Archduke Leo's eyes revealed deep caution. His voice was calm, but it contained a weight that could not be ignored: "From beginning to end, Matthews' facial expression remained consistent and extremely calm, without showing any anxiety at the impending defeat. Such a Matthews is definitely not an ordinary person. I think Matthews must have some reservations, and this contest has not yet reached its end."

As soon as Archduke Leo finished speaking, the atmosphere on the battlefield suddenly became tense. Matthews no longer chose to evade, but took the initiative to approach Hunter, resisting the opponent's fierce offensive one after another.

Hunter was confused by Matthews's move, thinking it was tantamount to self-destruction. However, Matthews' eyes revealed a kind of firmness and confidence, as if everything was under control.

At this moment, Matthews not only took Hunter's attack head-on, but also took the initiative to increase the force of the confrontation, obviously looking for the last chance for close combat.

Matthews suddenly exerted his full strength again, even using his entire body weight, and he successfully deflected Hunter's sword.

At the same time, Matthews' right hand could no longer hold the long sword, but he dropped the sword and approached Hunter. He was too close, and Hunter's long sword could not turn around at all. He could only use one hand and the sword body and hilt to resist Matthews' continuous attack.

Sophia, Emily and other female relatives screamed: "Ah!" "Wow!"

Everyone present watched this scene in amazement. They couldn't believe that Matthews dared to engage in close combat with Hunter, who was holding a sword, with his bare hands.

Archduke Leo couldn't help but sigh: "Hunter has really met a strong enemy this time, and the situation is extremely unfavorable to him."

Emily firmly disagreed with her grandfather's opinion. She rarely questioned the Grand Duke: "It's impossible. My brother still has a long sword in his hand."

Archduke Leo was not angry. He patiently explained to Emily: "Matthews is obviously well versed in close combat. He did not leave Hunter any room to use his sword!"

Emily still insisted on her point of view: "Brother can step back a little, then he will definitely win."

However, Grand Duke Leo said very seriously: "It's not that easy! The unique skill of the Albert family is the extreme movement in a small range. In this regard, I have not seen anyone who can match it, so it is not easy to distance yourself from them!"

Charles was surprised and said, "His footwork is so amazing, why have I never heard of it?"

Grand Duke Bai Lan said to his grandson meaningfully: "You always think highly of yourself and look down on others. How can you pay attention to these potential opponents! Real masters are often hidden in the ordinary. They are not ostentatious, but their strength should not be underestimated. You should learn to be humble, observe more, and understand more. Only in this way can you keep improving and not be surpassed by others."

Charles defended himself: “Grandpa, I didn’t mean to ignore the Albert family, I just really haven’t heard of them.”

Grand Duke Bai Lan asked back, "Never heard of it? Then where does the mountain mushroom you eat every day come from?"

Charles was speechless for a moment, he really didn't know the origin of mountain mushroom.

Grand Duke Bai Lan explained: "Shanzhi is not only a specialty of the Albert family, but also the emblem of the Albert family. It was bestowed by the King of Gothic himself hundreds of years ago. The Albert family has an important position in history, and their strength should not be underestimated."

The situation on the field suddenly changed, and Hunter made a difficult decision - abandoning his sword. However, this was really a helpless move. He could not get rid of Matthews' close combat, and he was already exposed after only a dozen moves. His long sword was not only useless, but also became a burden, and he was restricted everywhere.

Lord Harris sighed and said, "Hunter is really in trouble now. Matthews' close combat skills are really superb!"

Archduke Leo nodded and said, "Not only that, his close combat skills have reached perfection. It can almost be said that he has created his own unique style."

Harris was a little disapproving: "Father, are you praising him too much?"

Archduke Leo sighed and shook his head, his tone full of helplessness: "Hunter's defeat is certain, it's just a matter of time."

No one around dared to speak and could only watch the situation on the battlefield with bated breath.

On the court, Matthews had completely mastered the rhythm of the fight. He was like a tiger descending from the mountain, and his joint lock fighting skills were like an unstoppable torrent.

Faced with Matthews' fierce attack, Hunter's resistance seemed powerless and he was defeated step by step.

Matthews did not pursue the victory, but stopped at the right time and jumped back lightly. After a fierce battle, the two men had exhausted their physical strength. They were panting and pale, as if they would fall down at any time.

However, they still stood there quietly, their eyes firmly fixed on each other, each of them revealing deep respect and endless exhaustion for their opponent.

Hunter smiled bitterly and said, "Matthews, I lost this time." There was a bit of helplessness and self-mockery in his tone, but more of it was admiration for Matthews.

Matthews responded with a smile: "From the final result, it is true. But your performance is equally admirable." His words were full of recognition and respect for Hunter, making people feel the friendship and mutual appreciation between the two.

At this time, the voice of Grand Duke Leo rang in everyone's ears: "This was an unparalleled duel. Hunter and Matthews, you have undoubtedly demonstrated the courage and faith of warriors. You are both the pride of the kingdom. Judging from the final result, Matthews won! But Hunter is also excellent. Matthews is good at close combat, and Hunter is good at sword fighting. You each have your own strengths, and you are all the hope for the future of the knight world."

His words were full of fairness and wisdom, and made people feel his sincere affirmation, appreciation and expectations for the two younger generations.
