Chapter 99: Strong and unbreakable
“Hoo...ho!”
Eugene on the horse gasped for air, and white air came out of the gaps in his mask and turned into smoke.
The sky and the earth are completely white. When I just left the battlefield, I could still see other horse thieves, but now, there is not even a ghost in front of me.
It’s all the fault of the guy behind me who is chasing after me like a ghost!
Eugene didn't know where he was going.
Heleti is dead, and the Scorpion Nest must have fallen. Going back now is asking for death. What he has to do now is to run away, run with all his strength, and get rid of that damn guy behind him!
The war horse rushed up a gentle slope, and the snow fell off to reveal yellow sand. The four hooves of the war horse were flying on the sand, but it was difficult to go any further!
Without turning his head to look, Eugene could hear the sound of horse hooves in pursuit.
“Let’s go, you beast!!”
With a sudden pinch to the horse's belly, Eugene swung the whip and hit the horse's buttocks, squeezing out the last bit of potential of the horse under his crotch!
Run, run out! Get rid of him! !
“咴——”
The war horse screamed suddenly and finally crossed the top of the sand dune.
Eugene breathed a sigh of relief, but his horse had also exhausted its last strength. He knelt on the ground with two front hooves and threw Eugene out sideways!
Eugene only felt a sense of weightlessness. The friction between his armor and the snow caused him to slide all the way down the slope, making his head feel dizzy.
Turning himself to the front, he just took a breath. Before he could stand up, Eugene heard a sound of breaking through the air, and Eric's horse had already passed quickly in front of him!
Not good!
With alarm bells ringing in his heart, Eugene put his hands on the ground and rolled out hard. The next moment, right where he was originally lying, a body hit him like an iron block, with a popping sound. There was a loud noise, and the snow mixed with sand spurted out and fell like rain!
Eugene stood up slowly, and the snow and sand fell on the armor and kept sliding down.
The snow fell, and Eric's iron tower-like figure was finally revealed.
The heavy armor on his body was destroyed by Heleti, and now he is almost naked. The right eye, which was not big, is completely deflated. Only one left eye is shining, and the fur blanket is slightly dirty. Wrapped around the waist, the cold white skin shows muscles as strong as a buffalo.
Although he had taken the healing potion, the injuries caused by the Sand King were still there. There was a ferocious scar the size of a bowl on his chest, and his skin and flesh were rolled up, like a flesh-and-blood rose in full bloom.
"Everyone is his own master..." Eugene frowned slightly, as if a senior admonished his junior: "Why bother so hard?"
Eric said nothing and took a deep breath. He took a breath, and the air around him seemed to surge with this breath.
He spread his feet left and right, his knees slightly bent, and the fingers of his right hand holding the long sword opened and then clenched again. Then there was a bang, the sand under his feet sprayed, and the whole person rushed towards Eugene as if sliding on the ground!
Feeling the ferocious aura, Eugene's face paled slightly, and he lowered the corners of his mouth. He also took a deep breath, took off the shield from his waist and held it in his hand. The steel fighting spirit was injected into it, making the steel shield Become as smooth and dense as a mirror!
Eric frowned slightly, stretched his right arm to the left side, and suddenly stretched it out. The blade of the sword was filled with a little silver light, like a bright star wrapped in it, and he slashed on the shield. .
A sneer appeared at the corner of Eugene's mouth, and the combat skill "Mirror Shield" was quietly activated!
The key point of the "Mirror Shield" combat technique is to form a thin film of fighting spirit on the surface of the shield. After absorbing all the force of the opponent's attack, it will be fed back in the form of steel fighting spirit.
That's how it should be.
But Eric's sword penetrated the cushion of fighting spirit constructed by Eugene in one fell swoop, turning it into a confrontation between pure fighting spirit and fighting spirit!
The fighting spirit of the same nature collided together. The shield and the long sword buzzed and shook, and a tooth-breaking sound of metal friction erupted. The steel was peeled off from the shield and the sword with the conflict of fighting spirit, turning into silver all over the sky. crumbs.
The silver shavings fell on the surface of Eugene's armor, causing intensive scratching sounds, and the black paint peeled off like fish scales; when it fell on Eric, it brought layers of blood like cherry blossoms. point.
A hint of surprise appeared in Eugene’s eyes!
Buzz——
The next moment, the long sword in Eric's hand twisted and broke, and the iron shield in Eugene's hand could no longer withstand the collision of fighting spirit, and shattered into pieces like a piece of biscuit, turning into The sky is full of broken iron!
Violent vibrations swept across with sharp silver shavings, and the surrounding snow, centered on the collision point between the two, surged like waves!
Staggering back a few steps, Eugene stared at Eric, breathing heavily like a buffalo.
With unwilling anger in his eyes, he drew the sword from his waist without hesitation. Eugene silently took the initiative to charge Eric!
The combat boots stepped on the ground, raising a cloud of dust. Just three meters away from Eric, Eugene jumped up high and slashed down in the air with a long sword wrapped in fighting spirit!
Before the sword arrived, the terrifying wind pressure blew away the snow on the ground.
Eric raised his head proudly, his hands wrapped in steel fighting spirit, and even his skin turned into a steely silver-gray color.
He raised his arms high and clasped his hands together suddenly, perfectly holding Eugene's flying sword firmly in his palm!
Eugene's steel fighting spirit spurted out along the long sword in Eric's hand. The violent cutting force should have shredded Eric's skin, but it could not leave even a trace on it. A little scratch.
The steel fighting energy that could not be discharged rushed back to the long sword, causing the blade to instantly break into pieces, leaving only less than three inches of broken blade in front of the hilt!
“Ah——”
Eugene’s hand was still exerting downward pressure, and the broken blade passed between Eric’s eyebrows, and then fell on his chest. However, wherever the broken blade touched, Eric's skin always showed a hint of silvery gray, so Eugene couldn't even hurt Eric's hair!
Bang.
Eugene fell to the ground, and the broken blade in his hand also shattered the last bit of its edge, leaving only the bare hilt.
"You -" Seeing Eric put down his hands and the sword blade turned into broken iron and slid down, the corner of Eugene's mouth twitched crazily, with shock and fear in his eyes!
Eric, however, had no desire to communicate with him. He stretched his right hand suddenly behind him, the silver-gray fighting spirit dyed his arm iron-colored, and then rushed out like a spear!
It was too late to dodge, Eugene was filled with fighting spirit and raised his arms in front of his chest!
Boom——
Eric's terrifying power poured into Eugene's arms, bursting out a whirlpool of pale silver steel, and the huge force flowed along Eugene's body It sank into the earth, causing the soil beneath his feet to explode as if explosives were buried there.
Eugene, who lost his fulcrum, was blasted out like a dark cannonball. He flew six to seven meters away and rolled on the ground for more than ten times before finally stopping.
"Pfft." Eugene managed to support himself to stand up, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his hands hanging weakly on his knees, his voice as loud as a galloping bull.
Click——
A crisp sound was heard, and Eugene raised his arms in disbelief, only to see clear words appeared on the solid enchanted armor. Cracks, a hint of despair in the eyes:
"No, it's impossible...!"
He wanted to mobilize his fighting energy to repair the arm armor, but it was too late!
The sharp steel fighting spirit burst out in the arm armor, and the cracks that were originally only a few began to become extremely clear. The enchanted lines bloomed with light blue light and then collapsed, and the cracks spread instantly. The surface of the gauntlet is full!
Crack, click...
The arm armor shattered like an eggshell, and the steel fighting energy contained in it raged, cutting into Eugene's forearm!
锃——
Steel fighting spirit rubbed against steel fighting spirit, causing white marks on Eugene's skin.
Eugene had an incomprehensible look in his eyes.
He didn’t understand that even though there was a gap between the first level and the second level, how could Eric’s iron fighting spirit be so pure that even the slightest bit of it would make him unable to resist it!
Three times in a row, whether on offense or defense, he was being crushed by Eric. His unwillingness and anger were meaningless in front of Eric!
Eric's fighting spirit finally broke through Eugene's defense, plowing deep ravines on Eugene's arms. Blood spurted out instantly and fell to the ground with heat.
With his twisted arms hanging in front of him, Eugene panted heavily and raised his head. When he saw Eric approaching step by step with firm steps, he felt a strong sense of unwillingness in his heart and his lips trembled!
At this moment, Eugene had to admit that he was no match for Eric in terms of tactics or personal strength!
If you can’t fight, you can’t escape!
"Eric!!"
Eugene pushed up his visor and roared: "By the time we reach this age, our ideals and beliefs have already been worn down!"
"Seven years ago"
"I gave up on steel. position in the legion, I chose to follow Heleti because I wanted to change my life. But in the end, it’s just a different way to die!”
Speaking of this, Eugene showed a slightly self-deprecating smile on his face:
“In your eyes, I am It’s just a chess piece that can be thrown away at any time by the Sand King!”
"But what about you?"
"Do you think you are not just a pawn in the eyes of those nobles and those high and mighty big shots?"
"Just like that guy who is as fat as a pig, The idiot with the battle flag behind him, that What a fake Raven!"
"No matter who he is, he can't see that this is all a conspiracy by the 'Lord Baron' to send him to death. Don't you understand either?"
“Let me go!”
"Eric!"
"With your ability and mine, we can pull together a team in the bloody land and live freely and unrestrainedly!"
Right in Eugene In front of him, Eric stopped, his face gloomy and solemn.
The sand and dust flowed, the fur on Eric's waist flapping made a hunting sound, and the wind sounded as sharp as a ghost's howl.
With his throat throbbing, Eric finally spoke: "The Baron once told me a story."
There was a trace of relief in Eugene's eyes. Now that Eric had spoken, there was no room for change.
Eric continued: "I have almost forgotten the content of the story. There is only one sentence that I remember until now."
Eugene cheered up, he had already done it Being prepared, no matter what Eric said, he would change the topic to something beneficial to him.
However, in the next moment.
Eric's palm wrapped in silver fighting spirit waved and passed by his throat.
Blood rose into the sky, and Eugene's head flew to the ground, raising a scarlet question mark.
Eric stepped forward, knocked off Eugene's helmet, held the head in his hands, looked at the lips that were still whispering, and spoke loudly:
"That sentence is"
“Strength cannot be taken away from one’s will.”
