The ancient dragon of Arknights

"... He does have such skill, but it is completely different from what he showed. At least I don't know anyone who can be so flexible and stable while standing on all fours."

"Neltharion's fighting style is closer to that of a pure beast. His movements are very fast and coherent, and he can maintain balance and direction at all times. To be honest, in my opinion, he is more dangerous than a beast."

Rita and Chen are both quite discerning, and Neltharion's unique attack method can be remembered by anyone who has seen it; through rational analysis, they believe that finger pointing is Neltharion's way of making up for his shortcomings. After all, humans cannot be as sharp as beasts.

Amid the exclamations of the audience, the two men fought for several more rounds.

Angelita was at a disadvantage almost the whole time and was beaten, but her firm shield caused a lot of trouble for Neltharion's offense, and many fatal attacks were blocked.

'This woman knows that I have poor endurance and wants to wear me down...'

'This kid has average endurance, and such violent movements are definitely a huge drain.Drag it on...'

After the confrontation again, both sides noticed the development of this competition.

Although Angelia was sweating profusely, she still showed her usual expression to Neltharion, and Neltharion seemed to have heard the malicious whisper.

'When your strength runs out, your death will come. '

Chapter 27 Win

"*Colombian expletive*! That's how you play, isn't it!? See how long you can hide behind the shield!"

On the surface Neltharion looked furious and mad, but in reality he was still calm.

It's really troublesome to defeat Angelia without using claws. His attacks are very fierce and heavy, but he can't hit her with one punch - the only one who can hit her with a solid punch is Angelia. Ya held back.

When the battle situation is deadlocked, decisive battle skills must be used to break the deadlock.Neltharion's only powerful method now is to become violent.

He distanced himself, but Angelia did not pursue him immediately. She was at a disadvantage and it was difficult to achieve effective results by taking the initiative to attack.

Neltharion stood firm, and the muscles in his body first relaxed and then suddenly tightened - his skin began to turn red, and his heart beat stronger.

thump -- thump -- thump --

A powerful muffled sound began to be heard. The moment Angelia heard the sound, she changed her posture and treated it with all her energy.

Neltharion also made such a sound when he punched the strength testing instrument. Angelia observed a lot in the subsequent endurance test.

'This move is similar to a stimulant. He will gain explosive power in the short term, but will fall into a disengagement state later.If I hold on this round, I will win. '

Angelia is a very competitive and action-oriented person.

If you don't plan to take action, then just watch quietly from the side; but once you choose to take action, you must win!

"Teacher, I'm on!"

Neltharion's figure seemed to be faster than the sound. When Angelia heard the sound and reacted - Neltharion was already in front of her.

Boom - The arm seemed to have been hit by a land vehicle, and a powerful impact came from the shield.

The power of Neltharion's fist is at least several times greater than before!

'How could it be so terrible! ? '

Angelia was a little unbelievable. She had only experienced this level of power from a small number of elite troops, and those guys were all the mainstays of various countries.

Neltharion's talent is too special! ?

If only his talent in physical strength could be given to his Origin Stone skills a little bit, Angelia believed - in that case he would definitely have a chance to become a Steam Knight, and at the very least, he would be as powerful as the Tower Knight... ...Wait a minute, this guy doesn’t seem to be from Victoria?

Alas, there is one more unfortunate thing.

Angelia thought a lot at the moment when her mind collapsed, and then she immediately reacted.

Boom—another blow!

Angelia has already used both hands to support the shield, and the one-handed sword she originally held in her hand has long been thrown to the ground. She does not dare to attack at this moment. If she is not careful, she will be defeated by Neltharion's punch. Her defense is currently The only way.

Neltharion did not stop attacking. He and Angelia began to compete physically, using a shield to defend on one side and standing still to deal damage on the other.

Boom-boom-boom——

The frequency of the muffled sound became faster and faster, causing the heartbeats of the surrounding audience to also speed up. Everyone present was unwilling to move their eyes.

The first half of this competition was full of all kinds of incredible and exciting technical competitions; the second half also turned around and began to show the limits of the human body - faster!Stronger!More power!

clang--!

As a different sound sounded, the finger tiger in Neltharion's hand was completely shattered; this thing was not suitable for head-on confrontation, and its original position was to hit the flesh.

Being able to persist in such a high-intensity competition has fully demonstrated Victoria's strong industrial strength.

"Stop it...get a doctor."

Neltharion threw the fragments in his hand on the ground, and with the fragments of the finger tiger falling to the ground, there was blood flowing from his fingertips; the finger tiger hammered the shield - normal people would have seriously damaged their hand bones, but Neltharion was The skin was only broken, which showed how terrible the strength of his hand bones was.

His hidden claws might have turned into murderous weapons due to such growth!

The doctor who was nervously watching the game at the side of the field finally found his chance to perform. He quickly stepped forward to give Nesario emergency treatment. Normal people would think that Nesario's palm must have a bone injury at this moment, especially the doctor. , who understands the strength of the human body, he knows that the force-bearing surfaces of the shield and the finger tiger are different. The force of the finger tiger is all borne by the knuckles, and the huge rebound force will break the fingers!

"It's not me, it's her. It's probably a broken bone or fracture. I haven't been able to exert strength since the beginning, and I rely on my shoulders to hold it up. It's really... just a test. Is it necessary?"

"It's so embarrassing... I can't even fight back."

Bang--the shield with many traces left on it fell to the ground, and Angelia slowly sat down holding her right hand.

Judging from the grinning look, the bone was definitely cracked.

When such a scene fell into the eyes of everyone, it immediately caused an uproar.

When a tiger hits a shield, the final result is that the hand bone behind the shield is broken? !

"Monster! This guy is definitely a monster!"

"If there is another sparring match in the future, we must let the one with the fastest speed deal with him."

"Don't forget how he behaved at the beginning. No matter how fast he is, he can't avoid that kind of attack."

"Ah... It seems that we can only use Origin Stone skills to deal with him?"

"..."

Neltharion didn't care about the comments around him. He was more curious about how Angelia blocked his attack. Judging from her performance at the time, it seemed like she was okay.

"Teacher, you used the Origin Stone technique, right?"

"...Oh, this was all discovered. Sorry, I cheated."

Angelia has no intention of feeling guilty at all!She didn't hesitate to use her spells in the pure flesh game!

"What kind of spell is it?"

"Actually, it's nothing. The protective suit on Nuo's chest is filled with materials that can inspire Origin Stone skills. Your punch was absorbed by the special material, but this thing can absorb at most two of your punches. It's too powerful."

"..."

"Normal people will choose to retreat and observe when they feel the fluctuation of Origin Stone Skills. You kid didn't notice at all. Origin Stone Skills... practice more, it will be good for you."

That’s it for now, no more to say.

Angelia was sent to treat her wounds, and Neltharion once again enjoyed the admiration of everyone, including the seniors, and returned to the team.

But his current mood is not good, it can even be said to be bad.

Angelia resolved the crisis with little tricks, and even had the energy to counterattack herself.But he can only rely on his strong physical fitness to fight hard, although he still retains his trump cards.

But the same goes for the other party. Angelia didn't use Originium weapons or special spells. It's hard to tell the outcome of a life-and-death battle between the two sides.

Neltharion can kill Angelia instantly at close range, but if he can't get close, he will definitely be disgusted by various Victoria Origin Stone weapons.

'It's necessary to master special energy attacks. '

Chapter 28 New Equipment

"Fischer, how is your Origin Stone skill talent?"

"The test results are the standard."

"But I heard that Vaifan's Origin Stone skills and talent are quite good."

"Isn't your Origin Stone skill very good?"

"..."

In the dormitory, Neltharion and Fischer gathered in the living room. The former was searching for information about Originium skills, and the latter was previewing the homework for the future.

After three days of living as roommates, the two have become completely familiar with each other. Neither of them has experienced any unacceptable bad habits or problems from the other, so becoming friends can be regarded as a matter of course.

It's a pity that Fischer and Nessario are not classmates, so the chances of the two of them acting together are greatly reduced.

Neltharion reviewed the contest with Angelia. Although it ended in his victory, Angelia's Origin Stone skills left a deep impression on him.

The battle that could have been resolved quickly was suddenly prolonged by the Origin Stone skills, so that Angelia still had a chance to counterattack.

This is just an Originium skill that cannot be put on the stage. If he encounters such a talented monster, can Neltharion still win so easily?

'It is indeed necessary to understand this power. Even if you cannot awaken, you must at least know how to deal with it. '

"Fischer, since you are not good at Origin Stone skills, what is your expertise?"

"Disguise, Intelligence Collection and Analysis."

"spy?"

"I prefer to call them intelligence agents."

"...It seems that I need to put a lock on my room."

"Nice homework."

I thought Fischer, with his thin arms and legs, would be a mage, but I didn't expect him to be a spy.That's right, Teacher Angelia said - those who are talented in Origin Stone skills go to the Warlock Academy.

"You have no talent at all in Origin Stone skills. It is difficult to improve in this situation. Just like doing multiplication, zero multiplied by any number will still be zero."

"Has the news about my poor Origin Stone skills spread?"

"At least, many people have heard about it - there is a close combat in Class 10 that can overwhelm the teacher, but the Origin Stone skill is an idiot's vicious Vaifan."

"..."

Neltharion couldn't refute it, because these rumors were true.

The chatter ended here, the two began to focus on the books in front of them, and there was only a slight sound of turning pages in the room.

As time passes, it's time to sleep.

The two returned to their rooms to wash up and sleep.

Neltharion was lying on the bed. His consumption today was very huge, with violent use and a high-intensity battle... Although his stomach was full, he was lying on the bed at this moment, and everything in his body was... Revealing fatigue.

He would have a very comfortable sleep today, Neltharion had a feeling.

......

Hot, dry - an unpleasant feeling came from all around, and the body felt as if it had sunk into sand.

Neltharion opened his eyes - what came into view was the dazzling sunlight. Looking around, the desert, rocks and sparse vegetation formed an environment that was lifeless.

Most of the vegetation is dry in color, and only the cacti on the roadside remain vibrant green.Of course - in addition to cacti, which are characteristic desert plants, there are also many strange plants growing on the roadside, on steep cliffs, and in the bushes. They are colorful and have no idea of ​​their use.

"This is......"

Neltharion could clearly feel the hot wind blowing against his cheek. He even felt the slight vibration of the ground, and the warm heat came from the gravel in his hand.

You can’t go wrong!He's back again!

His heart began to beat, and Neltharion felt that his blood was far hotter than the surrounding temperature.

"So, where is my prey?"

Although Neltharion was restless in his heart, he also knew very well that it was very dangerous to face those monsters with nothing, so the most important thing at the moment was to find himself a set of equipment.

'Steel armor... no, there are better things. '

Neltharion began to imagine the appearance of the Direclaw in his mind. This ferocious and swift beast had already been deeply rooted in Neltharion's mind, even though Neltharion had not "seen" it again for decades. , but its appearance is as clear as if it were seen for the first time.

'Red muscles, criss-crossing muscle lines, layers of horny armor, protruding sharp fangs, double layers of staggered sharp claws...'

Neltharion felt like his body was being wrapped, and he could feel a weight on his shoulders and arms.

When he opened his eyes again, a bright red suddenly appeared in the yellow sand in the sky, and that was Neltharion himself.

At this moment, he had taken off his pajamas, and the armor he wore on his body was like a ghost or god coming to the world.
