Volume 4: The Cataclysm Chapter 36 Amo
Now that the two sides have reached a temporary consensus, the next step is to discuss some details.
Marvin hid in the dark, observing everything coldly.
This military leader was a little too honest. He actually believed what the bandits said.
This guy, Senma, will never give up his greed even if he loses the competition.
His goal was the food and weapons in the shelter.
What, then, was his purpose in proposing a duel?
Marvin frowned: "He wants to test the true strength of these soldiers through a duel."
"It is also possible that during a duel, a sudden attack could occur, catching the opponent off guard."
Sure enough, when Senma retreated and discussed with the bandits, they kept repeating a secret code.
The bandits must have their own secret codes when they were working.
Although Marvin didn't understand their codeword, he knew it was definitely not a good thing.
Logically speaking, the goal of his trip was the same as that of the bandits.
But his methods are definitely different from those of the bandits. He can take this group of people to the White River Valley, which is an advantage that the bandits do not have.
After all, although the Heart of Morrigan was originally designed to be used to prevent various natural and man-made disasters in the region, no one expected that the Cosmic Magic Pool would collapse.
This place is more like a piece of fat than a refuge.
It’s just that not many people know about it now.
Sooner or later they will have to move away from this place. The living environment underground is too bad, not good for the elderly and children.
Ma Wen was reluctant to take any action, just to see what tricks Semir was playing.
"There are only two possibilities for these bandits to find the Heart of Morrigan in the first place."
"First, there is a traitor in Morrigan's heart. But judging from the expressions of these people, the possibility of a traitor is very low. Soldiers and bandits are mortal enemies, and the same is true for military families. If there is a traitor, then this traitor's acting skills are too good."
"Secondly, I'm afraid that mysterious force has taken action in advance."
In Marvin's mind, he was more inclined to the second possibility.
After all, my appearance changed the course of history, and many things happened in advance.
That mysterious force probably wants to seize enough resources first so that it can have more advantages after the gods come.
In Marvin's mind, he actually already had a guess - this force was most likely related to the Kingdom of Heaven!
It could be a subordinate of a god, or it could be an incarnation, an apostle, a chosen person, a servant of God, etc. who is manipulating behind the scenes.
After all, the multiverse is so vast. Although only the Shadow Prince's Time Relic can freely enter and exit the Cosmic Magic Pool, there are always some rare and exotic objects that can have similar effects.
In particular, Marvin was not surprised at all that someone from heaven had sneaked down when the first two layers of the magic pool had been shattered.
He is not afraid either.
At this time, the people who could come down were at best servants of gods or angels. They were at most a little stronger than ordinary legends, and in the eyes of Marvin, who had successfully killed gods in his past and present lives, they were nothing.
If it was an ordinary angel, he would have transformed into Anzura the Violent Bear and torn it apart with his bare hands in the Pusen plane. He would not be at all afraid of it.
However, the real enemy has not shown up yet, and Marvin doesn't want to alert the enemy, so he just watches.
However, at this moment, he suddenly saw a somewhat familiar face!
"Huh? Why is he here?"
Marvin was slightly stunned. Before this, his attention was focused on the bandits and the civilians behind the soldiers, and he seldom paid attention to the members of this team.
So much so that even with the perception of the Lord of Darkness, he almost overlooked the elf boy hiding under the military uniform!
He was only wearing light leather armor and a strange hat that cleverly covered his unique ears. The only thing about his face was that it was a little too handsome.
But in the eyes of most people, this is still an ordinary human boy.
However, Marvin recognized the boy.
When he was advancing to the Night Walk in the Thousand Leaves Forest, he once passed by an elven village in search of the Book of Naaru. However, at that time, Black Jack was also there carrying out his Red Road Exile mission and massacred an entire village.
This elf boy became the only survivor because he secretly followed Marvin.
After the incident, Ollie sent him to the elf capital, and Marvin also gave him a dagger.
At that time, he felt that this very smart boy might not be able to adapt to life in the city of elves.
But I didn't expect to see him here again.
Judging from his clothes and the way he gets along well with others, he has completely integrated into the life of the Steel City.
Marvin had no idea what had happened in the previous few months, but he was surprised by the improvement in the wood elf boy's strength.
He had no martial arts skills at that time, but now he has become a third-level master.
Marvin is not quite sure about his specific profession, but he should be a ranger. However, the aura he exudes makes Marvin feel a little strange.
Seems like some sort of targeted career.
Marvin's heart moved, and he remembered everything the Red Road Exile had done to his family and friends.
"Could it be... that profession?"
This question mark emerged in Marvin’s mind.
Just at this time, the first duel had already begun.
The bandits sent out a burly man, and the soldiers of the Heart of Morrigan discussed for a while and actually sent out the wood elf boy!
"interesting."
"It seems that in this team, this guy is also responsible for scout-like functions."
"Only the most elite members of a team can become scouts. I remember checking his talent at the time and it was very poor, so he was not selected for the Elf Guard... There is no power without a reason in this world."
Marvin watched with interest as the boy silently walked out of the queue.
With everyone's encouragement, he learned his name for the first time.
Amo.
A very common name, it may also be his pseudonym here, it doesn’t matter.
It just seems that everyone believes him.
Perhaps he can find the feeling of a big family here that he had in the small village.
…
The battle began soon.
Both sides cleared a space.
The burly man was using an axe that was glowing with fire.
This guy is also a standard third-level warrior, a warrior-like profession. His axe is very terrifying, at least it is a magic weapon.
With every swing, flames fly out, making this weapon troublesome for a wanderer.
Because this type of fire attack leaves no trace, it is difficult to avoid it in a targeted manner.
Although this attack is indiscriminate, the warrior himself does not care.
He was not afraid of this little flame. A third-level warrior must have strong specialties such as [Mobility like a Mountain] and [Strengthening Stability], and the attacks brought by the weapon enchantment must be no problem.
In this way, Amo seemed to be at a disadvantage before the two sides even started fighting.
"Prepare to die, boy."
The big man laughed grimly, weighed the axe in his hand, and rushed forward.
Amo was not in a hurry and started wandering around.
His footwork is very peculiar. His absolute speed is not fast, but his step frequency is very fast.
The huge axe was swung continuously amid the warriors' shouts.
Fire flew everywhere.
It stands to reason that this kind of fire will inevitably be contaminated, which will affect the subsequent battle.
However, a strange scene happened.
Amo's body was like a spirit snake, extremely flexible, and he dodged every spark calmly.
His eyes were bright, his movements were gentle, and every dodge was so agile.
"The wood elves' talents are not that strong..."
Marvin's eyes lit up.
Although this dodging ability cannot be compared with Marvin's pure attribute crushing, it is also considered to be top-notch among non-legendary ones.
Especially in a limited space, Amo's ability is actually limited.
However, the fight between the two sides was extremely stalemate at the beginning.
The warrior's attack seemed fierce, but he didn't hit Amo at all. Instead, Amo took advantage of the opportunity to launch several sneak attacks with his super dodging ability, and almost posed a considerable threat to the warrior!
His offensive methods are also very strange.
Unlike ordinary thieves, assassins, scouts or rangers, he uses a slender rapier.
This kind of sword is easily broken in actual combat, but in a split second it can cause fatal damage!
Just now he stabbed the warrior's heart twice in succession, forcing the warrior to retreat continuously.
There was a hint of surprise in Senma's eyes.
He didn't understand where Amo Qiang was at all.
But true masters can see that if nothing unexpected happens, Amo will definitely win this battle.
You swing your axe very vigorously, but it can't even touch the corner of your opponent's clothes. How can you win?
On the contrary, it was Amo's rapier attack that was extremely threatening.
Even if this warrior is immune to lethal damage, if pierced by this sword, he will be seriously injured and on the verge of death.
On the side of Morrigan's Heart, everyone was excited.
"drink!"
Amo dodged the warrior's axe with a feint, and then stabbed the warrior's neck with his rapier, which was extremely fierce!
If this strike pierces the target, the warrior will surely be defeated!
Everyone's heart was suddenly in suspense.
However, at this moment, the warrior suddenly roared!
A mighty divine power burst out from his chest—it was a pendant!
Astonishing divine power suddenly erupted from the pendant. Amo's sword pierced into it, but was blocked by the divine power.
Bang!
The long sword shattered!
Amo was shocked and angry that his weapon was broken just like that.
Moreover, the warrior is covered with a layer of divine armor that is impossible to break!
"Go to hell!"
There was a gleam of anger in the warrior's eyes, and he swung the axe hard.
Amo dodged in a somewhat embarrassed manner!
“That’s enough!”
At this moment, the leader of the military side said coldly: "Stop it. We lose this round."
He also knew that the other party was definitely well prepared.
This kind of divine armor is definitely not an ordinary thing. Even if Amo is given a few rapiers, he cannot pierce it.
He is doomed to lose.
Senma smiled and stopped the soldier who wanted to continue to attack, and said lightly:
"So, next one?"
"Next one."
The military leader said calmly.
The next second, he shook his right foot and tried to move forward.
"team leader!"
There was some fear in Amo's eyes.
The captain patted Amo on the shoulder and comforted him: "You have tried your best, take a rest."
"Next, let me do it!"
However, at this moment, a strange voice suddenly sounded from the military side:
"I'll do it."
