Civilization Guardian Front

Ace is of course included in this category.

However, every invitation so far has been unsuccessful.

As long as there is no companion around and she sees Chios approaching from a distance, she will quickly find a place to hide like a frightened little animal.

Chios was not slow, so he naturally noticed the complex psychology behind the opponent's avoidance behavior.

He knew very well that going on like this was no way...

A date with Ais... To be precise, it was Riveria's request to invite Ais to relax while she was not on an adventure.

Ais, who has been fighting in the maze all day long, can't stand Loki's desperation. Sometimes she has to order the other party to be her guard, so she has a rare day off.

As the guardian, Riveria couldn't help worrying.

Maybe it was because they saw that the relationship between Chios and Aisi could no longer be simply summarized as friendship, and because of the recent series of events, they had a considerable degree of trust in him. In this way, relying on his status as an elder, he entrusted the responsibility of taking care of Ais to Chios.

In short, since mothers have given responsibility to themselves, regardless of the intention of pursuing Ais or winning Riveria's favor, it is doomed that Chios can't be perfunctory.

So, there was an act of pretending to be displeased by being besieged by four people yesterday, hinting at Tifa's kiss.

As expected, Ais was shaken just as Chios had calculated, and then she bit the bait he cast and came here alone to attend the appointment.

Next, I have to train this woman who dared to hide from him and cause trouble for herself...

Use the most difficult way for the other party to refuse.

"Actually, I don't have any particular purpose in looking for you, I just want to confirm my ability..."

Chios put away his handkerchief and took three steps back, putting his right hand on the hilt of the Light Eater's sword at his waist.

Clang!

The gorgeous black sword with a golden cross-section pattern was drawn out of its sheath, and the blade pointed directly at the blond girl.

"The last time we sparred in swordsmanship, it was at the Plenty Mistress Tavern, but I guess you don't have the impression..."

Seeing that Ais tilted her head as expected, with genuine doubts on her expression, Chios sneered, and her tone suddenly took on a hint of provocation:

"That day I was beaten so helplessly by you, which surprised me. In terms of swordsmanship alone, I don't think I would lose to anyone...even you."

"So, I want to fight against you again, without relying on armor, let alone using any magic and active skills, to prove through simple fighting that I am the better side."

"..." Ace frowned slightly.

It was very difficult for her to adapt to Chios' challenging declaration, which was full of vigor and completely different from the usual gentleness and humility.

The girl faintly felt something was wrong.

However, her thinking logic is not complicated, and she does not have the ability to see through the acting skills of the young people in front of her.

On the contrary, being invited to fight by the other party awakened her unwillingness to admit defeat.

Aiz admits that Chios' potential is something she has never seen before.

In the future, Chios may rise to unprecedented heights as a hero...

However, Chios, who has just been upgraded, is only catching up to her in terms of strength and durability.In the two strengths of agility and dexterity, Aisi also has an absolute advantage.As for swordsmanship, Chios himself had admitted that his state when they first met was completely extraordinary.

No matter how you look at it, Aisi feels that Chios's current attitude is too arrogant...

Thinking of this, she took the initiative to remove the armor that protected her vitals, and then drew out the sword of despair with a "swish".

Even if she will be surpassed in the future, she will do her best not to let herself be left too far.What's more, now that she is clearly superior in basic abilities, there is no reason to lose to the opponent.

Seeing this, Chios twitched his mouth.

"A no-stakes game is boring just thinking about it..."

"Otherwise, within 10 minutes after the winner is decided, the winner can do anything to the loser, and the loser must not resist, how?"

Facing the young man's proposal, the girl agreed without hesitation.

"Um."

...

Olalie Western District...

"Oops, lost track, where is Miss Ace?"

Refia held the magic wand "Tears of the Forest" in her hand, and ran in small steps on the sparsely populated streets in the early morning, looking around for traces of Ais.

During dinner yesterday, Miss Ace was absent-minded from beginning to end. When talking about various topics with her, she always responded with an "um".

After asking the seniors at the same table, Refiya found out that when they came back from the dungeon in the afternoon, they happened to meet Chios.

After inquiring about the second half, Miss Tifa patiently explained to herself and handed over a beautifully wrapped gift, saying it was from Chios.

so suspicious...

Refia, who immediately became suspicious, pretended to be nonchalant and mentioned the name "Chios" in Miss Ais's ear.

Sure enough, Miss Aisi's dining movements froze for an instant.

This important clue immediately made the "big detective" Refia Veridis see through the truth.

Ms. Ace definitely had some reason to be caught by that nasty man Chios to threaten her into submitting.

And the precious gift I gave myself was a bribe to buy myself into keeping silent and not interfering!

It's so enviable to be alone with Miss Ace in this way... no, it's too much! ! !

Refia shook her head violently, trying to drive away the dark thoughts in her mind.

She didn't sleep all night. She was watching the gate of the Twilight Pavilion by the window. She saw Miss Ais go out in full armor.

How does this make her happy?

Refia moved and carefully observed the surrounding buildings, but still found nothing.

finally...

Just when she searched for nearly 10 minutes, to no avail, she looked up to the direction of the city wall in frustration, and keenly found two figures fighting fiercely in front of the watchtower.

Chapter 580 Two? Ai Si, Call Dad

Clang!

The two swords collided and sparks burst out.

Chios held the sword that leaned toward Aisi's shoulder, pushed the hilt of the Light Eater with his left hand, and turned his wrist nearly 180 degrees clockwise with force, driving the blade to slash at high speed, crossing the semicircular arc of light, and slashing straight To the right side of Ace's neck.

The golden shadow quickly retreated to fight for space, drew back the sword on the left, and immediately blocked the edge of the black sword with the extremely strong inverted L-shaped gauntlet.

when!

It was clearly at the end of the crossbow, but it was still strong, and it hit the tiger's mouth along the trembling metal.

"Hoo...hoo..."

Feeling the slight numbness in her palms and her shortness of breath, Aisi hastily stepped back a few steps in order to prevent her opponent from chasing her.

Being at the same level of strength does not mean that the two sides can easily counteract the opponent's strength when they fight.

The difference in explosive power between single-handed and double-handed swords, the bonus effect of height and weight, and even the difference in sword-handling skills will all affect the result.

At this point, Aisi, who is no longer superior in all aspects of basic ability, can be said to have a deep understanding.

The light and dexterous ability to move and dodge, of course, has an advantage in large-scale melee or dealing with slow-moving super-large monsters.However, the benefits brought by this in a duel with enemies of similar size are not as expected.

Facing Aiss, Chios would at most suffer a disadvantage by attacking first, but he couldn't be so bulky that he waited for Ais to get around behind him before turning around to meet him, and the speed of his moves would not be too slow.As long as he doesn't rush to launch an offensive and firmly holds his foothold, he can offset his own disadvantages to the greatest extent.

It is true that it is extremely difficult for Chios to catch up with Aisi.But if he is determined to stick to his position, Aisi also has nothing to do with him.

Here is the key difference between the two swordsmen...

Ai Si, who only holds a rapier, enjoys the maximum freedom of body extension at the cost of sacrificing the role of her off-hand. She uses extremely fast stabbing as the main threat, supplemented by flexible movement, and her moves often take the lead.

As for Chios holding the sword in both hands, due to the lever torque generated by the handle end of the deputy hand, while changing moves quickly and flexibly, the power also increases accordingly, which is especially suitable for defensive counterattacks after the attack.

It seems that each has its own merits, but in fact, Ais, who is constantly moving and looking for opportunities to attack, consumes far more physical energy than Chios, who is waiting for work.

The problem is that Chios's one-handed sword skills are not inferior to two-handed swordsmanship at all. The reason why he uses this method to fight against the enemy is completely a choice to make use of strengths and avoid weaknesses after evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of the enemy and ourselves.

The rapier is a weapon that pursues speed and precision, and it is destined to be used with one hand to maximize its performance.

The long sword tends to be versatile. You can choose to chop, smash, and stab according to your needs. It is not as good as knives, axes, hammers, and spears that are specialized in a single nature, and can achieve at least [-] to [-]% of the effect.

The advantages are not outstanding, but the disadvantages are also few.

(very tricky...)

Keeping her distance, the blond girl thought seriously about a way to break through the defense line of the youth in front of her.

Of course Chios couldn't make her wish come true.

"What? The power was suppressed in turn, and the "Princess of the Sword" forgot how to fight..."

Deliberately adding an accent to the title to make a mocking statement, he let go of the handle with his left hand, stretched out his index finger and ticked Aisi, and continued to provoke:

"Hurry up and show your true skills, you are so hesitant, it is impossible for me to sweat a drop."

"Or, your limit is only here, then... I will ask the gods to grant me the title of "Sword King" in the next meeting.The young princess, if you start calling "Father" now, Dad, I might consider letting it go. "

?

Aisi, who always rarely showed obvious emotional reactions on her face, finally showed anger.

This man is too arrogant and arrogant!

He obviously didn't hurt half of her hair after more than ten minutes of fighting, but he actually spoke as if he was crushing her from beginning to end.

Besides, it's fine if you want to be a righteous brother, but what does it mean to be her father?

Thinking of this, Ai Si could no longer suppress the anger in her heart, raised her sword and stepped towards Chios at a faster speed.

blow!

The distance of five steps was crossed in an instant.

(Here we come!) Chios narrowed his purple eyes, turned sideways and held his sword on the right side with both hands, and changed the key opening to an angry style.

The opponent launched a fierce attack head-on, which was completely within his calculations...

In all fairness, in terms of swordsmanship attainments alone, I have seen the sword skills of my father, who is an ancient hero in the last period, since I was a child. I went deep into the dungeon to fight monsters at the age of seven, and was guided by top adventurers such as Finn and Grace. Ais, who is extremely talented and hard-working, is by no means inferior to Chios, and it can even be said to be slightly better than half.

Although Chios has also received systematic training from the best teachers since he was a child, he is proficient in many skills including Yideying's three long swords, Saxon scimitar, Spanish rapier... and other well-known schools. Sword fighting knowledge.But after all, he grew up in a peaceful living environment, and when he took on the task of the executor trial and entered the Warring States Period, he had a real chance to fight.

Without the memory fragments of countless outstanding fighters in the Eye of Calamity, and the careful cultivation of the Spear Maiden, who has reached the pinnacle of martial arts, it would be impossible for Chios to rival Aisi.

After all, at the age when he held a sword for the first time, the girl in front of him had already started a life-and-death battle with a dangerous enemy.

It's a pity that Ai Si is too immature at the level of human sophistication, and she doesn't understand the value of psychological warfare at all. She managed to provoke her mood swings with a few words, and foolishly stepped into the trap set by Chios.

Swish!

The afterimage of the black sword swinging is like a waning moon.

Taking advantage of the length of the weapon, the second attack approached Aisi's right wrist first.

Aisi turned the hilt of her sword and used her gauntlet to meet the opponent's blade again, but...

Clang!

Chios exerted very little force on this blow, and it was easily bounced off by her.

Oops...

This is not a good thing, it means that the opponent is preparing to change their moves in advance.

Knowing that she made an impulsive move, Ais immediately stopped and withdrew her sword, focusing on Chios' next move.

Sure enough, with the force of the impact offsetting the inertia of the oblique slash, the black sword was aimed right at her chest and stabbed straight at her.

It was not the first time she had encountered such a fierce counterattack, and she swung the sword of despair with ease, deflected the thrust, and jumped to the left with strength.

The reaction is very fast, and the posture is also extremely light, and it is out of the opponent's attack range in an instant.

Just when she opened the distance as always and was about to change the angle of attack.

"Humph..."

Chios sneered, and a gold coin suddenly appeared between the index and middle fingers of his left hand.

Curse equipment? Corrosion winding.
