Vikings: Journey of the Juggernaut

Chapter 22 Showdown: Once the genius draws his sword
Back to a moment ago, Skadi and other peers looked slightly worried when they saw the two people walking onto the duel field together.

"The examiner turned out to be Gerald. I'm afraid it's not good."

"There should be no problem for Rayleigh to become a warrior, but I don't know if he will get injured."

As participants in the group fight three years ago, they could better understand the contradiction between the two.

For Gerrard, who was equally talented, having half a row of teeth knocked out by a junior was tantamount to a great shame.As the time limit for Skadi's father's mediation has passed, revenge will inevitably be chosen now.

"With Rayleigh's master defense, I think at least he won't be seriously injured." Someone said, but the next moment, he couldn't hide his surprise, "What on earth is he doing? Why doesn't he even take the shield?"

In the eyes of everyone, neither Rayleigh nor Gerald went to the weapons rack to get their shields, but took their positions more than ten meters away.

"What on earth is Rayleigh doing?" The expressions of the others also changed slightly.

Without a shield, the defense will drop to a lower level, and the battle will be too dangerous, and you may even die directly.

"Rayleigh, weapon rack..." Someone warned towards the field, but it was covered up by the excited shouts of the surrounding crowd, and it seemed that he was not heard.

Most tribesmen admire this kind of offensive battle in which both sides only use weapons. The blood is always intoxicating and exciting.As friends of the disadvantaged Reilly, their moods were not so surging.

"Alas, Rayleigh is still too generous. He doesn't even want his own food." Someone sighed deeply.

"No, he not only doesn't want a shield, but he doesn't even want a berserker." Skadi said this almost dully.

"what!!"

Everyone's eyes widened as they saw the man's sword in the duel venue rising from its sheath, and a bloodstain was drawn out of his palm by the sword's edge.

Obviously Rayleigh has gone crazy!
At this scene, their pupils were completely dull, and they were shocked and speechless for a moment.

Gerrard is already a raider, and his talent can be considered a quasi-genius. He is still two years older than you, so why should you fight him.

How dare you start a fight to the death? Risking one's life is not the way to die.

"Rayleigh's drawing of the sword is so beautiful!" Jackham suddenly interjected, with a look of intoxication flashing in his eyes.

"Uh……"

Everyone recovered from the shock and glanced at Jekham speechlessly. Is this the time to pay attention to drawing the sword?

But Jackham is indeed right. Rayleigh draws his sword smoothly and smoothly, with a perfect combination of trajectory and strength, with an indescribable charm. Every time he watches it, it is endlessly memorable and fascinating.

Many of them, including Kaisen, had studied and tried it, but they couldn't pull off the charm and later gave up.They also asked Rayleigh what skills he had, and the answer they got was not as complicated as they imagined.

It can even be said that it is extremely easy, as long as you are familiar with it, but the most difficult thing is precisely this.

According to Raleigh himself, drawing a sword has been a part of his life since he was five years old.Whether walking, resting, or even eating, he would draw his sword whenever anything happened.

After pulling it out thousands of times every day for many years, you will naturally pull out the charm.

Including Rayleigh's sheathing of the sword, it also has a special charm.

A flash of memory flashed in everyone's eyes. After practicing for a month, Skadi made this comment angrily:
"It's all fancy, but useless in battle."

What she said was indeed true. Drawing a sword was not of much help in fighting. In the end, it was not about fighting with a sword, which was why they collectively gave up.

Wasting a lot of time every day, for several years, to learn a skill that has no bonus to combat, there is really no motivation to persist.

Of course, what they didn't know was that Rayleigh could see with his inner eye that drawing a sword would improve his proficiency in force.Although it is very small, it is somewhat of an extra improvement when resting or walking when you are free.

This is where the motivation comes from.

And without the talent bonus of 'Sword Bone', if you want to pull out Shen Yun, you may have to practice for 30 to [-] years, which is really not suitable for ordinary people.

……

"Jackam, aren't you worried?" Seeing Jackam acting like a normal person, someone around him couldn't help but ask.

"What are you worried about?" Jecam looked back doubtfully.

"Aren't you afraid that Rayleigh will die in battle?"

"What's there to be afraid of?" Jeckham continued without hesitation, "If he dies in battle, I will avenge him. Everyone will die sooner or later. We will be brothers as much as we are in the Hall of Valor. We will eat and drink and be happy."

Everyone understood that there was nothing to communicate, they were not in the same mind at all, and they seemed unable to refute.

If you think about it carefully, you will find that what he said makes sense.

What the hell! !
"Kaisen, if it's you, what are your chances of winning against Gerrard?" Skadi also asked.

Upon hearing this, everyone pricked up their ears.

"It's hard to say." Kaysen paused, "I may be able to defeat Gerald, but I will definitely pay a heavy price. Gerald will not be much weaker than me."

Following Kaisen's answer, their hearts instantly became cold.After all, Kaysen is the most talented among them. Even if Rayleigh hides a little bit of strength, it is impossible to match Kaysen. There is no chance of winning against Gerrard.

However, they knew Rayleigh's temperament very well, and he was obviously not someone who wanted to die without thinking.Now that this decision has been made, there must be some certainty.

What exactly was overlooked?
Everyone couldn't figure it out for a moment, until they saw the next action of the eagle-eyed man in the duel venue, unbuttoning his own cuffs. …

"Why don't I dare!"

The bearded Tom was shocked when he heard Gerald's roaring voice, and sighed that he was indeed his brother.

The momentum of this roar alone is not something that little beast can match. How dare this little beast start a fight to the death?

Also match?

Overcome!

Gerald will definitely teach him how to behave in the next life.

Tom glanced at the widow on the other side, and when he saw the widow with no change in expression, a sneer flashed across his face: Let you pretend, will you be able to pretend to be so calm when you see this little beast lose his head? .

There was no man in the family at that time, haha!
Tom moved his eyes back to the duel venue in a very good mood. When he saw the little beast untying the leather at the cuffs, he suddenly felt funny.

Even the armor is gone, and it looks like he is going to surrender next.

It was already obvious that this guy who was pretending to be a ghost thought he was launching a fight to the death in an aggressive manner, but Gerrard didn't dare to accept it.It not only avoids fighting, but also gives people an image of unrivaled courage. It is really a good calculation.

It's a pity that he didn't know that in addition to Gerald's violent temper, his courage was also incomparable.Even if Kaison dares to challenge now, Gerrard would dare to challenge him when he is angry, let alone a trash who is at the bottom of the training ground.

The result was obvious. Seeing that the duel was accepted, the little beast couldn't get off the stage, so he had to take off his protective gear and beg for mercy...

Look what he saw, iron wrapped in leather?

This beast is truly a coward among cowards. He is so afraid of death that he made protective gear so perfect.But if his own strength is not good enough, what's the point of putting protective gear in place? Besides, can his arms hold up? No...

Thom shook his eyes, sobering up a bit from the wine.

……

"Death fighting action!!"

The quasi-soldiers at the assessment venue could hardly believe their eyes. Faced with Examiner Gerald, who had a huge gap in strength, Senior Rayleigh actually chose to start a fight to the death.

You read that right, it is indeed a fight to the death.

They thought that confronting Gerrard was enough to shock them, but they didn't expect that it was just the beginning.

The words he used to make Gerald lose his mind and gain the opportunity to exchange for the assessor shocked them even more.

What's more, they didn't expect that the senior actually rejected this opportunity and still chose Gerald, who would be cruel to him, as the assessor. At that time, they felt so shocked that they could hardly close their mouths.

And the current scene is not a warrior assessment, it is a matter of life and death with Gerald.

The quasi-soldiers could no longer describe how they felt. They only felt that their brains were completely shaken and turned into a ball of paste.I have learned many lessons from the previous times, and now I finally fully understand:
Senior Rayleigh, this is definitely true!
It has nothing to do with the wisdom they had guessed before. Although they don't know where the confidence comes from, it is obvious that they want to fight Gerald to the death with pure force.

At present, it is still difficult to imagine how to defeat Gerrard.Unless there was something wrong with Gerrard's own health, but with his energetic voice and decisive challenge just now, it didn't look like there was something wrong with his body.

Or maybe Senior Rayleigh is much stronger than Gerrard, which is even more unrealistic.

Even if he is as talented as Kesson, he cannot be much better than Gerrard now.After all, the age is here, Gerrard is two years older, it is difficult to widen the gap, but it is possible in another five years.

The most likely thing is that as they initially guessed, the senior is indeed a genius comparable to Jecam and Kayson, and his current strength has reached the level of the Raiders.But even so, the final outcome may depend on luck.

I'm afraid this battle won't be easy.

Of course, these are all their speculations. Up to now, they still don't know the source of the confidence of the figure in front of them.

This kind of waiting that wants to know but cannot know is really a kind of suffering that lasts like years.

However, they didn't suffer for long before they saw a scene that was so shocking that their eyes almost fell off.

……

With a bang, the two iron rings, which together were as big as bricks, fell to the ground. Along with the flying soil, they smashed deeply into the muddy ground.

Then the other hand took off the outer layer of leather, revealing two semicircular iron rings surrounding the arm, with two pieces of iron wire fixed at the interface.

Rayleigh pulled out the iron wire neatly, and the two iron rings naturally slid down from his arm and smashed into the ground again.

Next is the feet.

Nowadays, these weight-bearing iron rings have contributed little to the increase in combat power, and it is time to withdraw from the stage of history.

The total weight of about 80 kilograms completely fell to the ground. Rayleigh stood up again and held the long sword stuck on the ground.

Pull up!

There are always some troubles that make people unable to keep a low profile anymore, so they might as well show their edge and embark on the journey of the Sword Master with a transcendent attitude.
