New Calendar 368, late summer.
Theo Kingdom Southern border, Sar Province capital, Morningstar City.
This city is immersed in carnival and celebration today.
The streets were flooded with flowers, ribbons and flags symbolizing Nolin Family, and the air was filled with the fragrant smell of wine, barbecue and spices.
Since the newly promoted Star Marquis and Governor of Sal, Reinhart Nolin, officially settled in.
This has become the focus of the entire Theo Kingdom.
In the courtyard of the Governor's Palace, a banquet and celebration was being held at this time.
Reinhart is wearing a special marquis dress, with stars and sword blade patterns embroidered on a dark blue background with silver thread. The "Dawn's Silver Radiance" medal on the chest is shining with dazzling brilliance under the moonlight.
This Legendary Realm strong man is sitting in the main seat with a calm face.
However, surrounded by countless praises and blazing gazes, there is also a faint brilliance and high-spiritedness between his brows that belongs to a young successful person.
In the courtyard, there were congratulatory teams from all over the kingdom and even envoys from other kingdoms.
People outside the Governor's Palace also congratulated, and local people crowded almost every corner. They cheered, threw flower petals and colored paper into the air, and looked at the Governor's Palace with their eyes full of admiration and hope.
The eighteen-year-old Legendary Realm is not just their governor.
He is also a symbol of the revival of the entire Theo!
"Light of Theo", this title has been widely circulated.
At this time, an old nobleman who came all the way from the royal capital raised his wine glass.
"The Marquis is truly a genius. I think, given time, he can even surpass Saint King who is Lothern."
"Yes, Governor Reinhart, you broke through the Legendary Realm before you were twenty years old. Such talent is unprecedented and Romanian States has no precedent."
Another representative from a large chamber of commerce quickly agreed, his face full of flattery and admiration.
"Theo Your Majesty the Marquis is really Destiny Rank's blessing! Revival is in sight, just around the corner!"
"."
Similar words are heard endlessly.
Like the richest wine, it was constantly poured into the heart of the young Marquis.
Reinhart stretched his eyebrows, raised his glass, and responded with a clear voice.
"You are exaggerating. Saint King has made countless great achievements. He swept through all countries during the war era, single-handedly established Federation, and brought hundreds of years of peace to Romanian Plains. It is not comparable to that of our descendants."
"I just broke through by chance, how dare I compare with senior Saint King?"
"Although senior Saint King broke through the Legendary Realm a little later than me, he has mastered both magic and martial arts. Before he was Legendary Realm, he could make Legendary Realm powerful with his bare hands helpless. He is also proficient in governing the country, strategy and other aspects."
"I'm nowhere near as good as that."
The voice paused, and a bright smile appeared on the young man's face.
He made a joke and joked, "At least, when I achieve the position of Destiny Rank, you will come to praise me and compare me with my ancestors."
His words were modest and decent, with a touch of harmless humor, which made a good impression on people.
However.
In the turbulent wave of praise, under that humility, there was a trace of arrogance and intoxication that even he himself was not aware of, just like the undercurrent under the water, quietly growing.
Among the crowd, the messenger from the Lothern Kingdom frowned slightly.
The breakthrough time was later than yours. Although it was followed by praise for Saint King, the young man subconsciously mentioned this aspect, which to a certain extent also meant that he believed that he had something to surpass Saint King.
And his last words.
A joke?
Sometimes, those are just true words that are not suitable to be spoken directly.
However, the performance of Reinhart is actually reasonable.
After all, he is only eighteen years old.
Faced with this atmosphere that almost brings the altar to the feet, even the elderly find it difficult to calm down. It is completely impossible for a young man to completely Still Water Heart.
Lothern The messenger remained calm.
His gaze passed over the high-spirited face of the young man Legendary Realm, and then fell on the Dawn's Silver Radiance flowing on his chest. The light was so strong that it almost burned the eyes of onlookers.
[The stars shine brightly in the world when they are first born, and the silver swords are clanging even before they are worn]
An ancient proverb quietly came to mind.
It describes those young people who were pushed to the top by fate early.
"It's normal to be a little arrogant when you are young and achieve success."
"Maybe he doesn't understand that just because you leave early doesn't mean you can go far."
"Like praise? Then I'll give you a compliment."
The Lothern messenger thought in his heart, then smiled slightly, raised his glass high, paid tribute to the young man Legendary Realm from a distance, and said loudly, "Your Excellency Reinhart, even if our Saint King is alive, he will be full of praise for you."
"Haha, there is no need to be too humble. After all, the future will be created by outstanding young people like you."
The envoys from other countries, without exception, immediately toasted and continued to offer praise and congratulations.
Reinhart couldn't help but smile and raised his glasses in return.
Time passed in a lively and joyful atmosphere, and the atmosphere of the celebration reached its climax in the afternoon.
The noble girls were like fluttering butterflies, surrounding the young Marquis.
Their eyes shone with admiration and curiosity, they spoke softly and smiled sweetly, trying to attract the attention of the most dazzling star in the kingdom.
Reinhart kept a polite smile and responded appropriately, but his eyes were gradually attracted by one of the figures.
That was Licia Frost, the count's daughter who came from the kingdom Northern Frontier and was famous for her glamor and talent.
She has long pale golden hair like moonlight, blue eyes like gems, and a cold and outstanding temperament. She is like an independent frosty snow lotus among all the gorgeous and charming aristocratic ladies.
She did not get closer like others, but occasionally nodded slightly and smiled when her eyes met Reinhart.
Finally, during a dance break.
Reinhart took the initiative to walk towards Licia, who was standing by the pillar and looked a little quiet.
"Miss Frost, thank you for coming all the way."
Reinhart raise your glass.
Licia responded with an elegant curtsey, her voice clear and sweet. "It is my honor to witness the glorious moment of the Marquis. Your achievements are admirable."
The two of them avoided the noisy center and walked to the relatively quiet terrace on the side of the viewing platform.
From here you can overlook most of the jubilant Morningstar City.
The breeze blew by, bringing the music of distant celebrations and the faint fragrance of flowers.
They talked about the situation Theo Kingdom was facing, and even included some opinions on national policies.
Reinhart found that the daughter of an earl was not only knowledgeable, but also had a unique and calm view of the current situation, and her words were not exaggerated and shallow like ordinary noble women.
Licia was also chatting, and was gradually attracted by the calm but yet sharp temperament of the young man in front of her, Legendary Realm.
A kind of goodwill among young people quietly grows in cautious and polite conversations.
Reinhart looked at Licia's beautiful side face under the moonlight, thinking about the words in his heart, and wanted to invite her to go to the lakeside with him tomorrow.
But at this moment, his eyes suddenly narrowed slightly, as if he felt something.
"Reinhart, what's wrong?"
The count's daughter asked in a low voice.
The young man Legendary Realm's eyes became sharp and he said, "An uninvited guest is coming."
As if to confirm his words.
A few seconds later, a rapid and loud report suddenly broke the joyful atmosphere of the banquet.
"Report--!"
An officer wearing a Sar Province guard uniform quickly approached and knelt on one knee in front of Reinhart, his voice filled with nervousness and panic.
"Your Majesty the Governor! Outside the mansion... there is a special envoy claiming to be from the Aura Kingdom outside the mansion, requesting an audience."
The officer lowered his head and said, "That is Blue Dragon, who is close to his prime. He claims to be here on the orders of Aura Regent to congratulate Star Marquis."
Regent, Sorog·Ignas.
When Red Emperor was suspected of being asleep, he was now the de facto supreme ruler of Aura, with names such as Emperor's Wings, War Prince, and Iron Prince circulating.
Theo people know very well the weight of this Regent.
The music, chatter and laughter near the terrace disappeared, and the blood on the faces of all the nobles and officials nearby who heard the report quickly faded, turning pale and frightened.
It seemed as if the joyful banquet before was just a dream.
And now, the nightmare has come.
Reinhart's heart also beat heavily, but he forced himself to stay calm.
"Everyone, don't panic, keep quiet. We should welcome distinguished guests from afar."
He calmed down for a moment and then said to the officer, "Invite the Aura special envoy to come in and invite him to have fun with us."
After a while, special envoy Aura arrived.
It was a male Blue Dragon, whose breathing was like thunder. Its majestic body and sharp claws made all the guests turn pale.
It did not lower its head, but lowered its eyes slightly and looked around at the humans around it.
"By order of the great Iron Prince."
Blue Dragon spoke, with a low voice, like rolling thunder on the ground, and said, "I am here to express my congratulations to the Theo Kingdom"Star Marquis", Reinhart Nolin"
"The prince heard that there is a young hero in Theo. He has reached the realm of the Legendary Realm without even being crowned a weakling. His talent is astonishing."
"You deserve special... attention and congratulations."
Opposite, Reinhart stood up tall and straight, looking up at Blue Dragon with a solemn expression.
He had no fear of Evil Dragon who was not Legendary Realm. However, he felt a heavy sense of oppression on Blue Dragon. It was not from Blue Dragon itself, but from the Aura Kingdom behind it.
"Thanks Iron Prince for the congratulations."
Reinhart nodded lightly at first, then changed the topic and said, "However, the special envoy is here in person. Apart from congratulations, do you have any advice?"
Blue Dragon opened his mouth wide, and electric sparks jumped between his sharp teeth and crackled.
"The Marquis is quite direct, haha, he does have a bit of arrogance that belongs to a young man."
After a pause, Blue Dragon's voice suddenly became loud and solemn.
"Pass the Iron Prince order."
"Theo has a son, Reinhart Nolin, who is extremely talented and is the best in the world."
"For him to reach Legendary Realm in his youth is a grand event that has not happened in Romanian Plains millennia. Such heroes should be tempered by battle and proved by blood and fire, so that they can live up to their talents and live up to their reputation."
The air in the hall was almost solid, and everyone held their breath, listening to Iron Prince's order.
"Therefore, I have a special order to invite Star Marquis, Reinhart Norin to go to Twin Moon Canyon one week later, on the night of the full moon, to have a fair showdown with our country's Ranger General, Aura's Edge."
Blue Dragon's vertical pupils stared closely at Reinhart, and his voice became deeper and deeper.
"If Reinhart·Norin wins, Aura Kingdom will return the two major provinces of Theo, and promises not to exercise its arms restriction obligations in <Nolton Treaty> for Theo in the next hundred years."
"The purpose of this battle is to learn from each other, demonstrate bravery, and enhance the relationship between the two countries."
"If Aura's Edge wins, Theo does not have to pay any price."
"I hope that Reinhart Nolin... will live up to the spirit of his youth, live up to the expectations of the whole country for Theo, and happily attend the appointment to prove the name of the Legendary Realm."
After Blue Dragon finished speaking, everyone in the hall, including Reinhart, fell into a brief silence.
Returning the two major provinces and canceling arms restrictions within a hundred years... The richness of this bet is almost equivalent to smashing the heaviest shackles on Theo directly!
And failure "doesn't cost anything"?
This condition is so good that it is almost unreal, almost like pie falling from the sky.
But precisely because of this, the atmosphere was silenced.
Everyone knows that Iron Prince will never give them truly free gifts.
"Their target is me."
Reinhart's heart was ringing with alarm bells.
He took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, his eyes flickered, and then looked at Blue Dragon.
"This matter is no small matter. The duel involves two countries, and I cannot agree to it without permission."
"One week is too hasty. I need to report to His Majesty the King and listen to the opinions of the Kingdom Council and ministers. Can... please ask the special envoy to forward Regent to allow us some time to discuss it carefully?"
He chose the safest response and delayed time.
"One week later, on a full moon night, Twin Moon Canyon."
"Whether you go or not is your own choice, the Marquis. The prince just provided an opportunity."
Blue Dragon's voice paused and continued, "The envoy's mission has been completed, and the congratulations and orders have been brought. So, I say goodbye. I look forward to witnessing the Marquis's wonderful performance at Twin Moon Canyon in a week."
After that, it stopped staying, turned and left with heavy steps, spiraling into the night sky.
After this episode, the joyful atmosphere of the banquet no longer existed.
Silence and depression became the main theme.
At this moment, noise sounded from outside the house.
"Promise! Let those monsters see how brave our Theo boy Legendary Realm is!"
"Lord Marquis! Theo's national destiny depends on this! You are our hope, we must not back down!"
"We must win! Light of Theo, we must win!"
"."
Blue Dragon's voice is like thunder, and its specific content can be heard clearly even by the people outside.
The crowd shouted the name Reinhart, shouting for challenge and victory. The sound became louder and louder, almost breaking through the wall of the Governor's Mansion.
At this moment, Lothern Kingdom's messenger emerged from the crowd.
He asked, "Sir Reinhart, what do you think?"
The young man shook his head slightly and said calmly, "I haven't made a decision yet."
Seeing this, the Lothern messenger smiled and said, "Aura's Edge, Ranger General, Elvie."
"This dragon's descendant has always performed mediocrely."
"She also broke through the Legendary Realm not long ago, and she has no real outstanding record. If the other party in the duel is Aura's Fang or Gluttonous Archdemon, I will directly advise you to give up, but Aura's Edge? You can try it."
Lane hart stared at Lothern Messenger.
"Messenger, if I remember correctly, Lothern and Aura are allies."
He said meaningfully.
"Of course, this is a fact that everyone knows."
The Lothern messenger looked serious and said, "However, we at Lothern are people-oriented. Although we have a covenant with Aura, it does not mean that we will fully agree with their style of conduct."
Reinhart nodded, noncommittal.
After the end of Second Civil War, the honeymoon period of Lothern and Aura has also come to an end.
Although the two countries still have normal exchanges, their relations are indeed not as good as before.
Aura's Edge, this Legendary Realm is indeed not famous, and like me, he is a new Legendary Realm, but Aura Kingdom and all Legendary Realm cannot be underestimated.
Reinhart hesitated in his heart.
At this time, the Lothern messenger said loudly, "I, Lothern Kingdom, am willing to provide testimony for the justice of this duel and record this event."
Upon seeing this, envoys from other countries also stepped forward to express their stance.
"I, Rybos Kingdom, would also like to witness it!"
"Mattena Kingdom Seconded!"
"."
All the kingdom's envoys, regardless of their relationship with Theo, without exception, were willing to vouch for this duel, and at the same time praised Reinhart's strength, believing that with his talent, he would definitely be able to win.
Outside the Governor's Palace, the people continued to cheer enthusiastically.
Listening to those praises, the eardrums were hit by the cheers and drum noise, and Reinhart couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
He seemed to see the scene when he returned victorious.
Thousands of people lined the streets to welcome him, and the king personally greeted him. He returned from the lost land and the shackles were broken. He will become Theo's national salvation hero, a true Legendary Realm...
However, Reinhart was still conscious and did not agree directly.
"I will consider this seriously."
He said slowly.
Immediately afterwards, the banquet ended and Reinhart returned to his room.
The noise outside the window gradually subsided.
Reinhart took off his gorgeous marquis dress and wore only simple dark casual clothes. He turned his back to the door and stared at the silent city outside the window.
The moonlight was like a wash, but it couldn't illuminate the solemn look between his brows.
To go or not to go?
This question plagued his thoughts.
He felt as if he were surrounded by countless flowers, and seemed to be standing on the edge of a cliff in a trance, with a surging crowd behind him pushing him forward, but in front of him was a bottomless fog.
At this moment, there was a gentle knock on the door, with a steady rhythm.
"Come in."
Reinhart There is no looking back.
The door opened and a figure walked in.
The person who came was tall and thin, wearing an aristocratic dress that was made of fine materials but slightly outdated in style. His hair was meticulously combed, and his temples were already gray. His face was serious, even a little rigid, and his eyes were as sharp as a hawk.
Reinhart's father, a baron, Ernest Nowlin.
Ernest walked slowly to the center of the room. His eyes first scanned the simple and expensive furnishings in the room, and finally settled on his son's tall back.
"Still worried about that matter?"
Ernest asked.
Reinhart turned around and faced his father.
He was not surprised by his father's late night visit.
"Father."
Reinhart nodded in greeting with a respectful attitude.
Ernest did not respond to the greeting. He walked straight to the window, stood side by side with Reinhart, and looked out the window at the night, as if overlooking the territory he was about to capture.
"Aura's Edge, Elvie."
Ernest spoke slowly and said, "The Lothern people are right. A mediocre dragon-loved person, who broke through the Legendary Realm not long ago, has no achievements worthy of praise."
"How does it compare to my son?"
He turned his head and looked at Reinhart with burning eyes.
"Reinhart, my son," said the baron, "You must understand that you are born different!"
"When your brothers were still fighting over inheriting the barren barony, when your mother... that meek but short-sighted woman was still worried about your frailty, I knew you were different."
When mentioning his wife who died young, Ernest's tone was calm, as if he was mentioning an insignificant servant.
Reinhart frowned slightly.
Mother... the person who always had a gentle and tired smile in his memory was the only warm color in his gloomy childhood before he showed his talent.
And his father, during that period, almost turned a blind eye to him.
Until one day, Reinhart, who was only six years old, showed his talent as a swordsman after touching a sword for the first time. After he was able to embark on the extraordinary path within a week and continuously upgraded, the way his father looked at him changed.
His father hired the most stringent instructors and formulated the most brutal training plans for him.
In those years, Reinhart rarely saw his father's smile. All he heard was "not enough", "come again", and "you must do your best".
Every time we make progress, we are not rewarded with praise, but with higher standards and more stringent requirements.
My father was just a baron, but like all nobles, he had huge ambitions and regarded him as the only hope for the family's rise.
Reinhart desperately longed to hear a simple word of recognition and a warm touch from his father, but he never got it.
He buried this desire deep in his heart and turned it into a stronger motivation, thinking that as long as he was strong enough and dazzling enough, one day...
"Look at you now!"
The boy's memories were interrupted by his father's words.
"Eighteen-year-old Legendary Realm! Light of Theo! Even Aura's Regent wants to specially congratulate you! What an honor this is? This is Nolin Family's unprecedented glory!"
He took a step closer and stared into his son's eyes.
"My child, you will win, and you will win cleanly."
"The whole Romanian Plains will know that my son, Ernest Nolin, is the number one genius in the world! What Saint King? He did not achieve Legendary Realm until he was nearly thirty years old."
"And you, my son, you are only eighteen years old! You have the appearance of the Immortal Realm!"
"Your future achievements will surely surpass Saint King, step into the legendary position of Destiny Rank, and even achieve Immortal Realm!"
Hearing this, Reinhart's heartbeat accelerated slightly.
"But, father..."
His throat was a little dry and he said, "Aura will never be that simple. This duel is most likely a trap to deal with me."
"Trap?" Ernest sneered and interrupted him.
"Which of the Destiny Rank strong men in history has not stepped on countless traps?!"
"If you can't even face Aura Kingdom's minions, how will you face the arrogant Red Emperor in the future, and how will you lead Theo to revival?"
The Baron's own talent was mediocre, and he had been doing nothing in his early years until Reinhart showed his super talent. In the Baron's eyes, his son was the best, and his excellence would also become his talk and glory.
But the Baron was not satisfied yet.
He wants to gain more glory and through his son, he wants to prove that he is not mediocre.
So, he put his hands on Reinhart's shoulders, his eyes burning.
"Reinhart, my dear son, I believe in you."
"You never let me down, and this time is no different. Go to Twin Moon Canyon, defeat that Aura's Edge, and win back the glory that belongs to our Nolin family and the future of Theo with your own hands!"
"I would be proud of you."
Hearing this, Reinhart was slightly startled.
For the first time in history, he felt the attention and recognition from his father.
"I"
He was still a little hesitant and did not answer directly.
The Baron interrupted him again, released his palm, and said with a smile, "I believe in you, you can always make the right choice, and you can always win."
Soon after, only Reinhart was left in the room.
But he hadn't fallen asleep yet, looking out the window in trance at the night.
At this moment, a burst of light lit up on the badge he was carrying.
"Reinhart."
The king's voice came from inside.
The badges it bestows forward are not only symbols of glory, but can also directly speak to the king.
Reinhart immediately stood up straight. "Your Majesty, I salute you."
The king was summoned for a duel.
He said without any nonsense, "Reinhart, I know you are praised very highly now, and you are used to hearing praises. You may think that shrinking back will be looked down upon, but let me tell you, the real strong man is not a reckless man who does not understand fear, but a wise man who knows how to measure risks and prepare for the future."
"If you refuse now, no one has the right to call you cowardly."
"I will announce to the public that this is the kingdom's decision and you are not allowed to participate in the duel."
"You are still young and have a long road ahead. Theo has been waiting for you for twenty-four years. We can wait another ten years, twenty years, or even a hundred years. When you are truly full-fledged and your foundation is unbreakable, you can challenge Aura however you want! But now, it cannot be done."
Reinhart whispered, "However, the people's voice is very loud. Many nobles and ambassadors from other kingdoms also..."
There was slight silence on the other side.
After a few seconds, the king said tiredly, "You are too young and do not understand the unpredictable nature of people's hearts. Those who smile and moan at you are not your friends, but a group of jackals, tigers and leopards."
Reinhart is noncommittal.
"Your Majesty, I will consider this matter seriously."
Youngster Legendary Realm responded, "Don't worry, although I am young, it does not mean that I am easily influenced. I have my own sense of discretion."
Early autumn, full moon night.
Twin Moon Canyon, this place is located in a dangerous place between Aura and Theo.
On both sides are steep cliffs as sharp as an axe, towering into the clouds, barren of grass, the valley bottom is wide, and the ground is covered with rough sandstone and rugged rocks.
Tonight, the howling wind seemed to be much quieter, replaced by a kind of solemnity.
A hundred miles in radius has been cleared.
From the commanding heights on the east and west sides of the canyon, some shadowy figures can be vaguely seen.
Those are Legendary Realm from various countries who came to witness the duel.
In the center of the valley, a figure stood quietly.
It was a being with the body of a man and a horse, and he also had a lot of Dragonkin characteristics.
Her upper body is as strong as a cheetah, covered with tight skin. On both sides of her forehead, a pair of steel-gray horns pierce the night sky, with a cold light gleaming at the tip. Her shoulders, arms, chest and key parts of the strong horse body are dotted with hard black dragon scales, like natural armor.
The most eye-catching thing is the pair of huge wings folded behind her.
The feathers are pure white, but the edges have an iron-like sheen. They appear to be soft, but are actually sharp.
On the ground beside her, there was an extremely thick dark broadsword stuck diagonally, and on the other side, a long bow with elegant curves hung quietly.
It is Ranger General of the Aura Kingdom.
Aura's Edge, Dragon-veined Centaur, Elvie that have reached Legendary Realm.
Finally, when the moonlight was clear and full, there was a sound of footsteps on the east side of the canyon.
Ta, tap, tap...
The sound of the soles of boots stepping on the gravel, neither fast nor slow, resounded in the silent valley.
A slender and tall figure arrived here under the gaze of many eyes.
Reinhart Nolin.
The youthful spirit overcame all doubts.
The youngest Legendary Realm in the history of Romanian Plains, after several struggles and reflections, finally chose to come as requested.
Staring at the elegant, vigorous, powerful and dangerous men and horses on the opposite side.
Reinhart felt a heavy sense of oppression.
Especially those eyes. When he looked at her, Reinhart seemed to see a majestic dragon in a trance, staring at him quietly, sizing him up, his eyes indifferent, without any waves.
"This is weird."
Reinhart felt a chill in his heart.
The other party is by no means a simple Legendary Realm!
However, he did not regret his choice.
"If you can't even face Aura Kingdom's minions, how will you face the arrogant Red Emperor in the future, and how will you lead Theo to revival?"
He recognized his father's words in his heart.
The Aura's Edge in front of me is not even those Legendary Realm dragons of the Aura Kingdom, but just a dependent.
If even she cannot be defeated, how can I be worthy of the title Light of Theo, and how can I be worthy of the trust and support of countless citizens?
Besides, he didn't think he would lose.
Reinhart is a Sword Saint. Although he has just set foot on the Legendary Realm, he has directly created five major characteristics. In terms of the number of characteristics, he even surpasses the Legendary Realm dragon. His talent is unquestionable.
"This silly boy is still here."
On a certain high ground, several Legendary Realm from Theo looked at each other, and they all saw the solemnity and helplessness in each other's eyes, and then turned their sights to the center of the duel.
Reinhart slowly pulled out the sword from behind.
The sword edge groaned softly, his eyes sharpened instantly, and countless sword energy surrounded him, turning into a domain.
The figure flickered, the gravel beneath his feet exploded, and Reinhart's entire body turned into a bolt of lightning, closing the distance at an extremely fast speed.
Hyper-Sensitive Nerves, Weakness Insight.
The two characteristics take effect first.
In Reinhart's perception, time slowed down, and the nodes of Magic Power's circulation on the opponent's body and the tiny signs of muscle exertion became clearly discernible.
At the same time, he clearly saw the heroic men and horses raising their long bows.
Buzz buzz!
Thick Golden Lightning burst out from her body, making her breath surge.
At the same time.
The centaur raised his left hand hanging by his side and grasped it weakly. The long bow with elegant curves fell into his palm.
The fingertips of his right hand drew across the bowstring, and countless lightning bolts followed, condensing into a golden arrow out of thin air, then catching it and releasing it.
Reinhart's pupils shrank sharply.
The feeling of slowing down caused by Hyper-Sensitive Nerves was still there, but the speed of the arrow seemed to ignore this slowing down, leaving a straight and blurry golden line in his perception, as if teleporting, it came in front of him.
What a fast arrow!
It's almost inevitable.
However, Reinhart's body reacted before thinking.
The forward momentum suddenly turned into a sideways block, and the long sword attached to a layer of territory, stretched across the chest at the critical moment.
Bang!
Powerful power came through the sword body, Reinhart's arm shook violently, and the whole person was staggered sideways and slid out. Before he could get close, the offensive was instantly broken down.
Before he could adjust his posture, arrows shot through the air one after another.
Reinhart was shrouded in a dense rain of arrows, but he was extremely fast. The long sword in his hand turned into a phantom, twisting and turning in the rain of arrows, blocking or cutting off one arrow after another.
Suddenly, an arrow burst out with dazzling light as it hit his long sword.
His perception was affected for a moment, and his vision was filled with golden light.
Boom!
He heard the sound of the ground cracking, as if being trampled by heavy hooves.
The speed of the men and horses exceeded the sound. When the rumble sounded, they were already close to the target, and the giant sword was already slashing towards the human Sword Saint.
Bang!
Reinhart instinctively raised his sword to block the attack.
Intuitive Counterattack--When the body senses a crisis, it fights back faster than thought.
Two swords clash.
Time seemed to freeze for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, Reinhart felt as if he was hit by a high-speed moving mountain peak. His whole body was thrown backwards, and countless terrifying cracks appeared in the area covering the sword body.
Elvie did not pursue, but flapped its wings and flew into the air.
The bow was like a full moon, reflecting the full moon hanging in the night sky. Then, the bowstring vibrated continuously and arrows rained down.
Human Sword Saint had just stood firm when he was covered by arrows again.
When he broke through the arrow rain at a great cost, what awaited him was the heavy slashing force of the charging force of the men and horses. With his body, he was completely unable to compete head-on.
The men and horses are strong, attack fiercely, and seem to be tireless.
High-intensity fighting often means high-intensity consumption.
Reinhart gradually became unable to cope with her offensive, her field began to weaken, and her perception and reaction gradually declined.
Just then.
The men and horses leaped into the air again, their bodies almost overlapping the full moon, and their bowstrings were fully drawn.
Then, the arrow shot through the air without making any sound.
They are like countless Golden Lightning, pouring down silently.
Reinhart dodged again, but with his slow movements, he really couldn't avoid or block them all. When he had to, he could only shrink all the areas in front of him, forming a thin but hard barrier.
Click, click, click!
The moment the light arrow touched the domain wall, cracks began to appear.
The arrow rain seemed to fall endlessly, and the cracks on the field became more and more numerous and deeper. At first, they were as fine as Drider, and then they suddenly collapsed and turned into fireflies all over the sky.
"It's over"
Reinhart seemed to hear these three words, not from the air, but from his heart, from the body that was on the verge of reaching its limit, and from the eyes that stared at him indifferently.
Several golden arrows penetrated the last defense and penetrated Reinhart's body.
He groaned and hit the ground hard, causing sand and gravel to fly everywhere.
Warm liquid gushes out from several penetrating wounds on the chest, shoulders, and ribs, soaking through the clothes. Even if the vital points are avoided, the human body is fragile, and these injuries are already serious.
The worst thing is that the remaining energy of those arrows is still wreaking havoc in his body.
All the internal organs were seriously injured.
In the night sky, the white wings of the men and horses waved lightly, the long bows were fully drawn, and the arrows locked on the head and heart of Sword Saint, preparing to give the final blow.
At this moment, several figures quickly passed by.
"The duel is over, we admit defeat!"
Theo's Legendary Realm stopped in front of the men and horses.
Legendary Realm from other kingdoms looked on with cold eyes, but had no intention of intervening.
In fact, they would rather see Reinhart die here, an eighteen-year-old Legendary Realm. Except for Theo, all the kingdoms regard him as a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh.
But he himself did not realize the cruelty of this world.
Reinhart was lying on the ground, looking up at the sky in a daze, his consciousness gradually blurring.
It turns out that not to mention the arrogant Red Emperor, but his subordinates and minions, he is no match for him.
