The two sides argued about the location of the duel, but it was finally decided that it would be on the human side. Firstly, the Troll mine next door was the newly dug Dark Iron Vein, and the space was relatively small. Secondly, the Troll leader simply did not believe that the cowardly humans would dare to gang up on him, so he did not insist on his own opinion.
The slaves retreated, jostling each other to make room. After a while, a small group of Trolls with spears and dark green skin emerged from the cave. The last one was a strong figure drenched in blood; this must be Jinsai.
He was at least two sizes larger than an ordinary Troll, his veins bulging, his hands gripping two heavy saws stained with blood, his rooster-like hair standing on end, and his crimson eyes gleaming with a predatory light. He swept his gaze around before settling on Unas.
Unas glared back fearlessly, while Frank behind him warned, "He seems to have used Blood Sacrifice Method unique to Trolls on himself; he's much stronger than I usually see. Be careful."
"It seems he's afraid of me and has no choice but to resort to underhanded tactics. Don't worry, the Holy Light is dedicated to fighting evil with righteousness." Unas spoke confidently, but inwardly he was even more cautious, Troll leader's aura was in no way inferior to his own.
The human and the Troll slowly walked to the center of the arena. When they were close enough, without any arbitration to announce the start, the two began to fight.
The sounds of dense weapons clashing rang out. Both of them were fighting with all their might from the start. Unas wanted to crush the Troll leader directly and then incite the slaves to take advantage of the situation and launch a massive attack. Jinsai's berserk state could not last long, so he also wanted to end the battle as soon as possible.
But as soon as they clashed, Unas knew his idea of crushing his opponent was doomed. The thick, saw-like blade came crashing down on him from above, each strike heavier than the last. Unas's left hand, which he had been using to block with his shield, was already going numb, while his right hand slammed five or six heavy blows into Jinsai's body. The Troll leader seemed completely oblivious to the pain, which was very unusual.
Sensing that the enemy's condition was not right, he knew it was not advisable to fight head-on and could only fight and retreat. This made the scene look very unpleasant, as if he were being chased and beaten by Troll, and the hearts of the onlookers couldn't help but pound.
This contradicts Unas's plan. He wasn't aiming for a dramatic effect of suppression followed by a climax; rather, he wanted to easily defeat the enemy and create an image of certain victory for everyone.
Thinking of this, he stopped retreating and activated "Invincible"—12 seconds to shatter every bone in your body. Let's see if you can still ignore it!
Switching his giant shield to another Silver Hammer, Unas gripped both hammers and furiously pounded at the Troll's entire body, while Jinsai recklessly swung his saw blade at the silver shield.
Both sides completely abandoned their defenses like Warrior, but this clash only lasted for three seconds. When Jinsai realized that he could do nothing to the silver shield, he finally began to retreat and dodge. The Troll was not stupid; he had heard of the Paladin's "Invincible" methods, but this was the first time he had experienced it firsthand.
At this moment, he felt that his ribs and sternum were shattered, but the energy of the blood sacrifice was flowing in his body, which made him unable to feel the pain and suppressed these injuries so that they could not erupt immediately.
The situation reversed, with Unas chasing after the Trolls. The human spectators breathed a sigh of relief, and many clenched their fists, ready to celebrate their victory.
The leaders had different expressions. Unas's action of switching equipment had already revealed that he possessed a spatial storage Arcane Artifacts, so his previous words were obviously lies. Today's conflict was deliberately provoked by him, and his purpose was nothing more than to establish his authority and win people's hearts.
Luther was quite excited. He was originally a soldier sent by Stormwind City to Lakeshire to fight against the Blackrock Orcs invasion. He was defeated and captured, which led him to this place. Naturally, he felt a sense of identity with the Paladins who belonged to the Alliance. A series of facts, especially the Divine Shield, proved that Unas was indeed a powerful Paladin. Of course, he would be excited about his victory.
The other three leaders each had their own plans, calculating the gains and losses for themselves based on the outcome of the duel. Riedel's face was gloomy, and he felt increasingly uneasy.
Twelve seconds later, the silver shield vanished, Troll leader was shoveled across from head to toe, front to back, by the Silver Hammer, yet he still did not fall.
Judging from the feel of the blows, Unas knew that Jinsai no longer had a single intact bone. Moreover, he had used the Corrosive Seal, and the destructive Holy Power had already erupted multiple times within Kinsey's body. It was a miracle that the Troll was still standing, yet he had begun to fight back.
Despite Jinsai's unsteady gait, his movement speed remained undiminished, and his attacks were still powerful and heavy. Unas suddenly recalled a saying that described martial arts masters: as long as he doesn't die, it could be someone else who dies. He couldn't afford to be caught off guard.
He stepped back a few paces and hurled a Hammer of Justice, but it had no effect. The small hammer of light struck the Troll and vanished. Unas immediately activated Divine Protection and charged forward, determined to crush the enemy.
The duration of Divine Protection is also 12 seconds, but it will break prematurely if the accumulated attacks exceed a certain level, which is why it is not as good as "Invincible".
The silver shield was replaced with a gold shield, Troll leader ignored these details and attacked Unas again. This time, he did not retreat and desperately slashed at the Divine Protection Shield as if in a final frenzy.
The clash between the saw blade and the shield, the Silver Hammer and flesh, lasted for seven or eight seconds. Cracks finally appeared on the golden shield, and it looked like it was about to break. Unas suddenly spread his wings and flew to the top of Jinsai's head. His twin hammers instantly switched into a spare greatsword, which he plunged into the Troll's body through the crown chakra. The 1.5-meter-long blade was completely embedded. Then he gripped the hilt and twisted it forcefully, instantly turning the Troll's brain and internal organs into a mess.
Unas flapped his wings, flew into the sky, drew his sword, and then slowly landed back on the ground. Jinsai's body swayed, finally unable to support himself, and all his previous injuries erupted at once. His tall body began to crack, and pieces of flesh separated from it, quickly turning into a pile of minced meat on the ground.
A living, breathing monster that had been baring its fangs and claws just moments before was instantly transformed into this. Before people could even marvel at Unas's angelic Light Wings, the disgusting scene made them nauseous, and no one remembered to cheer for victory.
Unas quickly closed his wings, stepped forward and picked up the two large saw blades. The dozen or so spear-wielding Trolls were still in shock at the sudden change and no one came to stop him.
"Who is willing to follow me to kill Trolls?!" Unas roared, raising his twin swords.
Luther stepped forward, "I do!"
With him taking the lead, not only Coldsteel's men, but also other slaves responded in droves. This momentum was unstoppable by the leaders. Riedel was also intimidated by Unas's sharp gaze and dared not voice any objections, otherwise he might be killed on the spot.
Unas tossed the saw blade to Luther, then distributed all the spare weapons in his Spatial Bag, except for the twin hammers and the greatsword, to the first group of people to respond.
"Kill!" Unas commanded, charging ahead towards Charge spear-wielding Trolls who were retreating into the tunnel.
