Arad's Sword

Chapter 3

When the "flame challenge" consisting of a magic doll, two high-level dolls and eight middle-level dolls appeared on the training ground, there was a lot of noise in the stands.Many students in the academy thought that they would be able to witness the Queen of the Storm's attack in person right away.

However, it was not the figure with bright red hair that walked into the training ground, but a boy with black hair and black eyes.

His thin figure, the inconspicuous long sword in his hand, and the unreliable shield made one feel that a single charge of an intermediate puppet would be enough to knock it into the air.

The faces of the aristocrats sent by the senator suddenly changed. Thinking about it, this was undoubtedly Fina's way of making things difficult for her team to avoid being mixed with slow-moving spies, and it was a violation of the rules of the game for the aristocrats.The quick-witted ones have already sent someone out to spread the word, and they are ready to call in reinforcements to put pressure on them immediately.

Not paying any attention to the little moves from the opponents, Fina just quietly looked at the quiet boy in the arena.

At this moment, the young man seemed to be a different person, like a sharp sword out of its sheath, which he couldn't face up to.

After 20 years of ups and downs, fighting is as natural as breathing for Midi.At the moment he held the sharp sword, he had completely entered a state of ecstasy, he would no longer care about gains and losses, and he would no longer look forward and backward.The only thing left in my heart is the desire for victory.

"Just let you see my swordsmanship, my strength, and... my determination." Midi said softly, scanning the students who were thinking about each other in the stands.

The eleven dolls in front of him are well matched, well-organized, and each has a division of labor.

Among them, eight mid-level dolls played the role of meat shields. They were adjusted to the fighting style of the Tauren pioneers, with the ability to attack suddenly and have high mobility.

The two high-level puppets have the dual characteristics of support and protection. On the one hand, they have inherited the flexibility of the fluorescent cat demon, and the second-stage claw strike skill is quite a headache even for veterans.On the other hand, the most terrifying thing is that these guys with good melee strength not only have recovery skills, but the two can also recover each other.

As for the magic doll, it was made with reference to the mutated flame monster, and it has the fire meteorite skill.This kind of magic attack has a long range, great power, and a flame splash effect. For the current Midi, it can be said to be a one-hit kill.

It would be quite difficult for even a job changer to challenge this combination from the front.Even in the magic academy in its heyday, it is said that less than 5.00% of the students could complete this challenge before the trial.

Out of 100 people, only five could survive the flames.

But it is precisely because of this that it is worth challenging.

Under the astonished eyes of everyone, Midi dropped the heavy shield and held swords in both hands instead.

In the next moment, he rushed out without hesitation like an arrow leaving the string!
"What, under such circumstances, this guy actually took the initiative to attack?"

Everyone exclaimed.Although the puppet can stop its activities immediately, its inertia cannot be stopped. In Midi's current state, as long as it is hit by a sudden attack, it would be the result of a bone fracture at best.This battle can no longer be said to be safe.

"I don't even want the shield. Are you trying to commit suicide?" Lilian snorted and glanced at Sigmund, but the blond gunman just shrugged, apparently unable to see Midi's plan.

"Interesting." Fina murmured softly. As a student who has completed the flame challenge many times, she knows very well what actions the dolls will take next.

So, how to deal with this aggressive kid?
Unknowingly, the Queen of Storms couldn't look away.

The steel joints made a metallic friction sound. Facing the rushing Midi, the eight mid-level puppets lowered their center of gravity in unison and launched a sudden attack at the same time.

The seemingly cumbersome puppet galloped out at a speed completely opposite to its size, like a shell fired from the chamber, causing gusts of wind in the air and high clouds of smoke and dust on the ground. Eight straight long lines seemed to project The spear that came out locked on Midi's position.

For a moment, the earth seemed to tremble because of that indomitable pace.

If it were someone else, they would have already panicked in the face of such an overwhelming charge like a huge wave.However, Midi's expression was as calm as ever, as if it was not the eight steel puppets rushing towards her, but a gust of cold winter wind.

Not only did he not slow down, but he exploded even further, rushing towards the eight dolls head-on.At the moment when the two sides were about to collide, Midi's feet suddenly twisted, like a white light, lightly folded.

At this moment, time seemed to stand still.

The moment everyone came to their senses, the black-haired boy who they thought had been knocked out of shape unexpectedly passed through the gap between the charges of the eight dolls without any injuries!

Sigmund and Lilian, who had predicted that Midi would immediately beg for mercy, looked at each other with shock in their eyes.They have a high self-esteem and a higher vision, but it is also because of this that they can understand what a remarkable thing the other party has done.

After all, Midi's method is not complicated.The skill of rushing attack is really fast, and it is impossible for non-job-changing players below level 20 to dodge at all.But it also has a weakness - it cannot change direction after it is activated, it can only walk in a straight line.As long as the dolls can predict their trajectories at the moment when they activate their skills, they can easily dodge, even dodging is not necessary, just stand in a position where they will not be affected in advance.

However, this is only a theoretical response.In actual battles, the raised dust, the number of enemies, various noises and shouts, inner fear and uneasiness, etc., will all affect the real result.

Humans are not machines, who can remain unwavering in the face of an overwhelming attack?

But the rumored dandy did it, not only did it, but he did it beautifully.

"Huh..." The red-haired girl let out a relaxed breath, breaking the silence between the three of them.

Fina lazily leaned back on the chair, closed her eyes and fell asleep like a cat, and stopped looking at the figure on the training ground that had shocked them so much.

"Don't you want to watch it, Miss Fina?" Sigmund was a little surprised. Logically speaking, the neat dodge just now should have aroused the interest of the Queen of Storms.

"It's not necessary, the outcome has already been decided." Fina replied simply.

As Fina said, Midi's dodge this time not only avoided the strongest killing move jointly launched by the eight mid-level puppets, but also directly broke through the defense line of the meat shields, and easily reached the bottom of the formation. In the belly, where the two high-level dolls are located.

From the very beginning, his goal was these two fluorescent cat demon dolls who could only use the recovery technique.

Although it is one-to-two, the movements of the level 16 puppet are a little stiffer than those of the mutated monster. In the eyes of Midi, who has experienced the second awakening, it is basically as static. Midi can easily predict Judge each of their actions.In the blink of an eye, Midi has easily grasped the rhythm of the battle, avoided the two-stage attack of the puppets, and bullied into an almost close distance.

The moment he passed by a puppet, he shook the long sword in his hand upside down, and without even turning his head, he sent the blade of the sword into the gap between the puppet's arm and body with incomparable precision, stabbing to the end , directly destroyed the core mechanism of the puppet.

This high-level doll didn't even have a chance to use the recovery technique, so it was killed in one blow.

In less than 20 seconds, the second high-level puppet also fell to the ground, and the crack in the center of its forehead continued to radiate sparks.

Without the shielding of the human shield and the flexible guards, it is difficult for the magic doll who cannot keep a distance to launch a powerful fire meteor attack, which is not dangerous at all.

With the power of the whole body and the inertia after acceleration, Midi unleashes an extremely domineering Ghost Slash at the immobile target. Although it does not contain any power of ghosts and gods, the mighty sword is still easy. It broke through the flame defense shield, and directly cut off the doll's fragile neck, separating its body and head.

Accompanied by the dull sound of the iron head falling to the ground, there was no suspense in the battle.

When the last puppet stopped working completely, Midi finally put away the long sword, then waved to the red-haired girl in the stands naturally, and then showed a relaxed smile.

There is no special meaning in this, it is purely out of habit.

Over the years, every time he won a battle, he used this method to express "everything is fine" to his favorite woman.

So this time, Midi also showed a smile.

As it was then.
