Faced with this sudden and fierce attack, Luo Ge dared not be careless, so he pushed aside Eris, who was blocking his way.
The opponent's gunfire was like a dragon, as fast as a storm, one shot after another, the tips of the guns leaving silvery-white afterimages in the air, dense and impenetrable.
Da da da!
Luo Ge kept swinging his scabbard to defend, the sound of the scabbard clashing with the spear tip creating a continuous cacophony, like a torrential downpour hitting a tin roof, dazzling to the eye.
Suddenly, Luo Ge seized an opening, using wind magic to create a small distance, and began to re-examine his opponent.
He was a burly, bald, middle-aged man with a dark headband.
The bald man held Eris firmly behind him, exuding an aura of fierce bravery from years of battle, and he held a trident in his hand.
"... The Superd Tribe?"
Luo Ge squinted slightly.
He didn't recognize the other person by their appearance, of course, but by their weapon.
gun.
The Devil's Gun.
Because the Superd Tribe was infamous throughout the continent, their weapon, the gun, was also regarded as an ominous object and was known as the Demon's Gun.
Most adventurers use swords, axes, knives... very few use guns, because guns are the exclusive domain of races like the Superd Tribe.
The middle-aged man with the gun in front of me is undoubtedly Superd Tribe.
Luo Ge suddenly remembered the bedtime stories that his teacher, Ms. Roxy, often told him before he went to sleep when he was a child.
If you don't sleep well, the children will be eaten by the Superd Tribe.
Luo Ge had always thought the Superd Tribe was just a legend to scare children, so he didn't take it too seriously.
Unexpectedly, upon meeting him today... the Superd Tribe actually exists. The man before him gave Luo Ge an extremely dangerous feeling. Although his killing intent was very weak, the killing intent that had been accumulated over countless battles could not be completely concealed.
This bald man...
He has killed many, many people; his hands are definitely stained with the blood of countless people.
"... Eris, are you alright?" Rujierd held Eris tightly behind him and turned to ask with concern.
Eris was still shaken; she had wet herself in fright and her voice trembled as she stammered, "Um, Rujierd... I'm alright."
"Hide behind me."
"Be careful, this boy is dangerous, something's wrong... You should run... Take Rudeus with you and run away..." Rujierd's voice was low and solemn.
Although the person standing in front of him didn't look very old, as a battle-hardened Superd Tribe warrior, Rujierd's intuition was often very sharp.
He also sensed a dangerous aura emanating from Luo Ge, an aura he had only felt from a handful of people.
The two locked eyes.
They looked at each other warily.
The sea breeze passed between the two, stirring up the fine sand on the ground and filling the air with a chilling atmosphere.
Like the prelude to an impending storm.
The seagulls in the distance seemed to sense the somber atmosphere and flapped their wings, flying away into the distance.
Finally, Luo Ge moved.
But instead of making a move, he drew his weapon from his waist—one of the Seven Sword God of the Sword God, forged by the Dragon Emperor, a master craftsman of the Dragon Clan, and the exclusive demonic sword passed down from the first Sword God.
Now, this Phoenix Elegant Dragon Sword is his exclusive weapon as the Demon Sword King.
Luo Ge rarely draws his sword now, because so far, few opponents have forced him to.
But without a doubt, this Superd Tribe was qualified to make him draw the Phoenix Elegant Dragon Sword from his waist.
The moment he saw Luo Ge draw his sword, Rujierd's eyes became even more wary, sensing a chilling glint in his gaze.
This is an absolute sense of oppression belonging to the top experts.
The opponent is very powerful...
Even Rujierd was on high alert and did not make any rash moves immediately. Instead, he stood still and used feints to deceive and interfere with the other party's judgment.
Then, by observing the opponent's fighting style, one can formulate the most advantageous combat strategy.
In this battle, Luo Ge ultimately chose to strike first.
Luo Ge, having drawn the Phoenix Elegant Dragon Sword, transformed into a blur and rushed towards Rujierd in a flash.
A very simple yet unpretentious sword-wielding motion.
Sword!
It was merely a swing of the sword.
Seeing this, Rujierd quickly raised his gun to defend himself.
bite!
The moment the gun clashed with the sword, a piercing metallic clang rang out, and sparks flew everywhere.
The two moved quickly across the beach, their figures intersecting, each collision leaving a deep footprint in the sand.
The waves, stirred up by the intertwined Touki of the two, crashed against the rocks with a deafening roar.
After only a few rounds of fighting, Rujierd soon felt a sense of confusion.
strangeness...
That's really strange.
You should know that human swordsmen are either Sword God Style, Water God Style, or North God Style.
In short, most swordsmen in this world belong to these three schools.
Luo Ge made the first move. Rujierd initially thought his opponent was a swordsman from the Sword God Style, and he was also planning to use the same tactics as the Sword God Style.
result...
The opponent has changed their tactics.
The opponent's style is not entirely based on the Sword God Style; it also has elements of the Water God Style, and even some elements of the North God Style.
One person embodies the sword techniques of three major schools.
Who exactly is this person?
After feeling the opponent's absolute dominance.
A bead of cold sweat suddenly appeared on Rujierd's forehead.
You should know very well his own strength level. As long as he doesn't encounter monsters like the Seven Great Powers, he can almost always put up a fight.
However, the opponent's strength subtly exerted an absolute suppressive force on him.
That effortless ease, that perfect precision with every strike, gave him a long-lost sense of pressure.
Rujierd kept swinging his gun, his shock growing ever greater.
Similarly.
Luo Ge was also filled with surprise. He hadn't expected that someone he randomly met on the roadside could fight him to a standstill.
This piqued Luo Ge's interest even more.
From the initial tentative steps, gradually...
Luo Ge has fully committed himself to this major battle, one that he can take seriously.
at the same time.
Luo Ge, who was completely absorbed in the exhilarating battle, did not notice that a petite girl with blue hair in a ponytail and braided pigtails was hiding behind a rock in the distance.
"... The Superd Tribe? Hmm, really... terrifying..."
Her face was deathly pale; she was trembling with fear and speaking incoherently.
She is none other than the Water King Rank magician, Roxy Migrudia.
Roxy covered her mouth, being extremely careful... not daring to make a sound, for fear of being noticed by the Superd Tribe on the beach.
She had just been passing by the beach to clear her head when she saw two people fighting fiercely on the sand. One was a human... and the other was the legendary Superd Tribe.
... the Superd Tribe.
Having been filled with fear of this race since childhood, Roxy ran away almost without hesitation.
She jogged away from the beach.
I don't know how long I ran, but as I passed through the alley, I didn't notice the blond-haired human child behind me.
It's right around the corner.
The two passed each other, one after the other.
And this human child was Rudeus... He was covering his injured eye, looking completely exhausted, and waving his hand in front of him repeatedly.
He had just encountered the Demon Emperor Kishirika, and through offering her food... he was granted the Demon Eye, the Demon Eye of Foresight.
In a daze...
Rudeus suddenly saw a blue blur that flashed past around the corner ahead.
"Huh, am I hallucinating? Why do I think I'm seeing Ms. Roxy's shadow?"
When he forced his eyes open despite the discomfort, the alley was already empty.
Remembering the advice from the Hitogami in his dream last night... Rudeus didn't think much of it afterward and eagerly set off for the seaside.
at the same time.
The scene shifts back to the beach.
A fierce battle is taking place here, and the sounds of fighting can be heard all around.
boom!
The waves at the sea were furious, whipping up layer upon layer of wind and waves, and countless rocks had already been shattered.
"Wow, that's amazing!"
Eris, standing to the side, was dumbfounded. She had thought that with Rujierd's intervention, the opponent would be easily dealt with.
In Eris's mind, Rujierd was invincible.
However, to everyone's surprise, Rujierd was completely outmatched and on the receiving end of the fight.
This battle, which appeared to be evenly matched, was actually fraught with danger several times.
If it weren't for Rujierd's advantage of extensive combat experience, he would probably have been defeated by now.
"... good."
Luo Ge kept his distance, his expression unchanged, and smiled, "Truly worthy of being a warrior of the Superd Tribe, you actually managed to force me to use the Sword of Light."
" The Sword of Light!"
He raised the Phoenix Elegant Dragon Sword, its tip pointing directly at Rujierd.
The sword gleamed with a faint silvery-white light, as if it were about to materialize.
That was the manifestation of Touki condensed to its extreme.
The surrounding air began to grow heavy, and even the wind stopped.
Rujierd was also going all out, gripping his spear tightly with both hands, aiming the tip at Luo Ge, his Touki surging wildly throughout his body.
The two gathered their strength...
Just when it seemed the two sides were about to decide the victor with a final blow.
Eris suddenly started screaming.
" Rudeus, Rudeus..."
At that moment, Rudeus heard the commotion and came to the seaside.
He covered his eyes, saw the two people fighting, and couldn't help but mutter, "Sigh... am I hallucinating?"
Seeing the hallucination of Teacher Roxy in my field of vision before was already absurd, but I didn't expect Luo Ge to appear now.
However, Rudeus suddenly paused, as if he had suddenly remembered something.
right.
The advice that Hitogami gave me last night.
The fact that one can gain benefits simply by buying food in the alley and having the Demon Eye of Foresight obtained from the Demon Emperor has proven that the Hitogami and humans were not lying.
Next, we'll head to the beach.
He will be able to meet Luo Ge... which means that what is happening before his eyes is not an illusion, but reality.
Luo Ge?
With that thought in mind, Rudeus shoved aside Eris, who was yelling beside him, and rushed between Rujierd and Luo Ge.
Rudeus spread his arms, stopping the two men who were about to attack, and shouted, "Mr. Rujierd! Luo Ge..."
"You... you guys, please stop fighting!"
