"What a foolish choice!" Facing the Bristle charging towards her, Relna swiftly drew her True Ice Broadsword, but the first thing to attack her was not Bristle's enormous, sharp fangs, but a massive True Ice, glowing with a blue light. Sejuani used the unmeltable True Ice as a chain mace.
She and Bristle had long since achieved a telepathic connection. Riding on the giant Drüvask Boar, Sejuani's movements did not appear clumsy; on the contrary, she was frighteningly agile.
The Bristle has agility that belies its size. If you treat it like a heavy tank and think that this big guy can only charge around in a straight line, then you will suffer a great loss.
"Frostguard, whether you're foolish or not isn't for you to decide." Sejuani raised her leather-armored arm and powerfully swung the shackles in her hand. The end of the chain, a piece of True Ice, slammed heavily onto the broadsword that Relna was holding in front of her.
With the clash of the two True Ice weapons, Relna's body was sent flying backward. Clad in heavy armor and tall in stature, she was suspended in the air for several meters before she managed to land and regain her balance. Sejuani and Bristle reappeared in front of her.
"Roar!"
With Bristle slammed its massive head down, its fangs piercing the frozen earth and tearing through the tundra. Then Bristle swiftly raised its head, its fangs already aimed at Relna.
Seeing this, Relna narrowed her eyes under her helmet and adjusted her posture in mid-air, thrusting her greatsword downwards towards Bristle's head. But Bristle didn't dodge at all and charged straight at the greatsword.
Relna didn't shy away. As the leader of the Frostguard, she had long since given everything to Lissandra, disregarding her own safety. This woman was determined to exchange herself for Bristle.
But if Relna is only focused on the Bristle, hasn't she forgotten something?
With a whooshing sound, Relna's greatsword, aimed at Bristle, was deflected by a chain mace that attacked from the side. Sejuani's monstrous strength, combined with Relna's carelessness in focusing solely on Bristle, allowed Sejuani's attack from the side to nearly knock Relna off her grip on the True Ice Broadsword, her weapon almost flying away.
"No, unfair!" A roar rang out as Trundle swung his massive True Ice weapon, smashing it towards Bristle and Sejuani.
The enormous True Ice weapon in his hand even intimidated Sejuani. She genuinely had no idea where the troll had gotten such a large piece of True Ice. But seeing Trundle launch his attack, Sejuani's hand holding the reins was also ready to press down hard, preparing to forcefully press it against Bristle's neck, forcing Bristle to retreat and avoid the troll's attack.
But just as Sejuani was about to get Bristle moving, a strange light flashed in her eyes when she looked up. She was surprised to see the figure that Flash in front of her.
The icicle, not to mention its width, was long enough to be twice his size, yet he faced that enormous icicle head-on.
"Troll, your opponent is me."
Li Ke leaped into the air, his hands enveloped in a gentle breeze, and then struck the ice pillar.
"A bug!" Trundle scoffed disdainfully as he saw Li Ke suddenly leap out. If he were to dodge the bug, Trundle might find it troublesome, since it was too small to easily swat at. But this bug had actually jumped out to take his attack?
Ha!
Trundle possesses immense strength, and with this weapon, not only humans but even mammoths couldn't withstand Trundle attack!
The massive club slammed down, eliciting gasps from those around.
Donna's expression tightened, and she was about to speak when she noticed that Jinx behind her wasn't nervous at all. Seeing this, she couldn't help but feel strange.
"Aren't you nervous at all?" Donna couldn't help but ask Jinx.
She knew that Li Ke was very strong, after all, he could suppress Vana, but strong strength does not mean high defense, right? Moreover, that was a troll that was more than four meters tall, and this troll was even stronger than the Drüvask Boar!
But when Donna asked, Jinx instinctively replied, "Nervous? Nervous about what?"
Are you nervous and worried about Li Ke?
Ah, is there any need to worry about Li Ke?
Two years ago, a monster emerged from the ground in Zaun. That monster was nearly a hundred meters tall and its body was covered in flames, but didn't Li Ke still manage to solve the problem?
Is four meters very tall?
It's just that she didn't bring the Fishbones with her; otherwise, Jinx felt she could have handled this guy herself. You know, Vander is known for being immortal, but even he gets scared when he sees the Fishbones.
Donna was about to ask another question, but a voice came from the snow and ice that had been stirred up a dozen meters away.
"Ouch, it's so cold. But if that's all, Trundle, you've really disappointed me."
Li Ke's voice rang out, and when the icy mist dissipated, Donna saw Li Ke standing in place, while the giant troll was thrown to the ground, holding its club and staring blankly.
Trundle sat motionless on the ground, his large buttocks sinking into the tundra, while a dark shadow flew past him.
Relna clutched her chest, staring in astonishment at Trundle sitting on the ground.
Are you kidding me?
Humans and trolls fought a battle of strength, and surprisingly, the humans won?
It's important to know that in Freljord, since the Yeti disappeared, trolls have become monsters of strength on par with Behemoths!
And now, has this monster lost in terms of power?
Relna couldn't believe her eyes; the scene before her was so shocking that she even forgot the pain in her chest and abdomen.
She was wearing heavy armor, which was fine. As the commander of the Frostguard, she naturally wore armor that Lissandra had made for her herself. The tusks of the Drüvask Boar failed to pierce the armor's defenses, but the armor could protect against sharp weapons. Bristle still made Relna's throat taste sweet.
But the sight of Trundle being knocked to the ground by humans made Relna instinctively swallow blood.
"This is impossible!"
Like Relna, Trundle was also dumbfounded; this was not what he had expected!
Shouldn't he have smashed this human to pieces with a single blow?
But what just happened? In that instant, Trundle felt a tremendous impact, and then he saw the sky?
Quickly rising to his feet, Trundle snapped out of his daze. He brandished his large club and roared at Li Ke, his grotesque face filled with disbelief, "You used... what kind of sorcery!"
"Sorcery?" Li Ke was swinging his hands when they turned a deep blue, but as Li Ke continued to swing them, the blue gradually faded, revealing Li Ke original fair skin.
The stinging sensation in his palm subsided. He looked at the True Ice weapon in Trundle's hand, smiled, and said, "If you call it sorcery, then it is sorcery."
After speaking, Li Ke reached out with his right hand and a sharp sword formed from azure wind appeared in Li Ke hand. He flicked the sword, and the wind blade pierced through the ground.
"Again, Trundle." With a smile, Li Ke charged toward Trundle, sword in hand.
The Winter's Claw warriors, seeing Sejuani launch her attack, immediately rushed towards the center of the tundra.
The same is true for the Frostguard on the other side of the forest.
However, both sides stopped midway as they rushed towards the center of the tundra.
Both sides stared dumbfounded at the humans in the distance and the overturned troll.
Due to their Iceborn physique, the Freljord people possess eyesight and hearing far exceeding that of ordinary people, thus enabling them to see what was happening over there.
"Oh my god, did that human overturn the troll?"
"Am I seeing things? Does that outsider really have that much strength?"
"Babu, you... I remember you said you could snap that kid's neck with one hand, you called him a greyhound, hey, do you keep your word?"
"Go to hell!"
What are you all standing there for!
The Winter's Claw warriors regained their senses and charged back towards the heart of the tundra.
Then they stood behind Donna, facing off against the Frostguard who had also arrived.
Surprisingly, although people from both sides arrived, they remained silent and stood in a standoff, with no one rushing forward.
It wasn't that they didn't want to charge, but rather that, apart from Udyr, no one else present was capable of participating in the battle.
Whether it's the battle between Sejuani and Relna, or the battle between the Outlanders and the trolls.
The troll's size was clearly that of an ordinary troll, and coupled with his massive True Ice weapon, the Winter's Claw members realized as they approached that this troll was probably the king of the troll race.
Therefore, the current situation is that an outsider, who has always been looked down upon by the Freljord, is fighting against the Troll King?
The battle at the center has reached a fever pitch and has been divided into two battlefields.
They are Sejuani and Relna, as well as the Outlanders and the Trolls.
"Really?"
Is he a priest?
"A priest? I say, have you ever seen a priest fight like this?"
"The trolls are already at a disadvantage!"
Compared to the battle between Sejuani and Relna, the warriors of Winter's Claw were clearly more focused on the fight between Li Ke and the troll.
It's not that they don't care about their own Warmother, it's just that the impact is different!
After all, wouldn't anyone normally go to watch a fight between a tiny person less than two meters tall and a monster four meters tall, resembling a small hill?
Another reason is that the warriors of Winter's Claw also believe in Sejuani; they believe their Warmother will not lose to the Frostguard.
Sejuani's rise to become the Warmother of the Winter's Claw was not due to any inheritance from her ancestors. The Winter's Claw 'Winter's Claw current size is entirely thanks to Sejuani. She seized control of the Winter's Claw from the previous Warmother and, over several years, transformed them into the second largest tribe in Freljord, relying solely on her wisdom and strength.
Therefore, there is no doubt about Sejuani's combat prowess.
On the battlefield--
Li Ke had already used the Wind-Controlling Sword Art, and the whirlwind continuously left scratches on Trundle's body.
Each of those wounds was over ten centimeters in size, which would be shocking on a human, but seemed tiny on Trundle. Yet, Li Ke was able to leave dozens of wounds on Trundle's massive body in the blink of an eye.
As a result, Trundle had turned into a red giant, covered in blood. If it weren't for the troll's amazing regenerative abilities, it would be hard to say whether he was seriously injured or not.
Li Ke had witnessed the power of True Ice weapons firsthand. This thing was something that no creature other than the Iceborn could touch. Even if Li Ke had mastered the elements, he would still get frostbite when he touched True Ice. Although it wasn't like the rumors that he would be frozen into an ice sculpture after contact, prolonged contact would still make Li Ke's body stiff.
True Ice is a treasure bestowed upon Freljord by Anivia; something created by Demigod is naturally extraordinary.
Therefore, Li Ke stopped being overconfident and chose to use the Wind Technique deal with Trundle, which proved to be quite effective against such a big, clumsy guy.
Speed is naturally the core of the Wind Technique, but that doesn't mean its destructive power is low. Wind can be calm, but it can also be violent. If it gets agitated, it becomes a storm, and Trundle is currently caught in the storm.
Countless wind blades left wounds on his body. Compared to Li Ke's agility, Trundle appeared extremely clumsy, roaring repeatedly and swinging the True Ice pillar wildly, but it couldn't hit Li Ke at all. Under the snowflakes, Li Ke's figure was graceful, while Trundle was constantly retreating.
"Injustice! It's unfair! You're not a true warrior!"
Trundle roared loudly, his roar stirring up a few snowflakes.
Seeing this, Li Ke stopped, then looked at Trundle with amusement, "Unfair?"
Trundle, covered in blood, looked at Li Ke with a hint of fear in his eyes, but then he yelled, "This isn't fair! You're not a qualified warrior. If you're a real warrior, then drop your weapon!"
He said to Li Ke.
Upon hearing this, Li Ke looked at Trundle and found it even funnier.
He genuinely didn't know much about the troll story; after all, there was no reason for Li Ke to specifically learn about Trundle's story—was she just beautiful, or famous?
Even if he were placed in the Rift, he'd still be an unpopular hero, okay?
However, looking at it now, Trundle is actually quite cunning. Everyone says trolls are stupid, simple-minded, and brainless, but Trundle is clearly different.
Listen to what he's saying, ha! This guy sees Li Ke using the Wind Technique and getting injured repeatedly, yet he can't hit Li Ke, so he says it's unfair and wants to put down his weapon. But why didn't he say that when he was wielding the True Ice?
However, after shaking his head and chuckling, Li Ke dispelled the wind sword in his hand.
He looked at Trundle, beckoned, and said, "Fine, you want fairness? Then I'll give you the fairness you want."
Upon seeing this, Trundle's huge eyes lit up, and then he tossed the True Ice weapon aside.
"You're dead!"
With a roar, he crawled on all fours and charged toward Li Ke.
Sejuani's battle had also reached a fever pitch, and she had no time to pay attention to what was happening on Li Ke's side, but the Winter's Claw warriors around her all felt that Li Ke's choice was inappropriate.
Why would you throw away your weapons?!
But the next moment, they were all stunned.
Because the outsider didn't retreat an inch when faced with the charging troll.
They didn't see the fervor on Li Ke's face.
Since being resurrected in Soul Blossom, Li Ke has found himself in a very awkward situation.
He became stronger, but at the same time, he lost an evenly matched opponent. In other words, Li Ke hadn't had a serious fight in a long time. Before, Vander could be considered Li Ke's opponent, but after Li Ke came out of Soul Blossom, Vander was left far Li Ke.
He wanted to have a good fight, but there was simply no one around Twin Cities who could give Li Ke his all; they were either too strong or too weak.
But now, Trundle is just right.
And comparing strength?
Ha, Li Ke, you've never lost before!
"Let's have a boxing match, Trundle!"
Li Ke opened his arms wide and laughed heartily.
Trundle's enormous Riot Games came crashing down, accompanied by a gust of Li Ke, and Riot Games was bigger than Li Ke.
But Li Ke also threw a punch.
"Boom!"
Despite the clash of two completely mismatched Riot Games, the expected scenario of the outsider being sent flying did not occur.
The warriors of Winter's Claw only saw the outsider take a step forward, facing the troll.
There was no magic, no martial arts, and no retreat.
All that remained was the most primal form of slaughter.
It was a final, brutal fight.
