Vikings: Journey of the Juggernaut

Chapter 26: There is a tiger in the heart, and the ruthless person is ferocious

In the duel venue, Gerald's figure was crumbling, and in an instant, another line of blood was drawn out of his arm by the sword.

He was cornered.

A look of determination flashed in Gerald's eyes, and there was only one way to go now: he must fight back, otherwise he would die.

He bent his elbow with his left hand to block the galloping long sword, and swung the short ax with his right hand and smashed it into the head of the person in front of him.In the current situation, not to mention the cost of his arm, he would not hesitate to trade his life for his life.

As expected, the long sword in sight returned to defense and was retracted directly without slashing at his arm.

As the stronger side, Rayleigh would definitely not trade his life for his own, not even for a serious injury.

This is your advantage.

The next initiative will be completely returned to his own hands. The outcome of this battle is still unknown.

Gerald's eyes flickered with hope, and the next moment, the imaginary scene of the long sword colliding with his short ax did not happen.The handle of the short ax felt a huge force coming from it, and the direction of the impact had already shifted.

The long sword in his eyes was retracted and held across his chest, and at the same time, it stabbed into his left heart.

puff...

Penetrating from the back.

how is this possible? ? ?

Gerald's pupils kept trembling, and for a moment he didn't even realize how the man in front of him did not use a long sword, but blocked his short axe.

It won't be the arm,
The arm is not long enough. Even if he grabs his ax handle, he can still hit the man's head based on the inertia. Even worse, it can hit the forearm holding the ax handle.But he didn't feel that he hit anything. The short ax was directly moved away by the huge force and swung empty.

Out of the corner of his eye, he immediately noticed the scabbard held by Rayleigh in his left hand...

It was so!
Gerald closed his eyes, he understood.

……

Those people with good peripheral vision can see it very clearly.

Facing Gerald's counter-attack with an axe, which he had never used before, Rayleigh raised his scabbard and struck the ax handle in advance.At the same time, he turned slightly sideways to completely avoid the ax that had deviated from the direction.

The long sword that was thought to be returning to defense did not choose to cut the arm of the crossbar, but directly stabbed the opponent's heart.

This sword is not only pure strength, but also contains fighting wisdom.

"It's so interconnected, it's amazing."

"With the eyes of so many of us, it's really impossible to make a mistake. That kid is really incredible."

"Gerald was fooled."

The three commanders on the command stage, as well as captains such as Sophia, Staff, and Shurut, all had a flash of understanding and slight shock in their eyes.

Now that I think about it, this duel has already begun since Rayleigh stepped onto the duel field.At that time, Rayleigh was obviously the weaker party. He voluntarily gave up the shield on the weapon rack and said an extremely arrogant and arrogant sentence:

The long sword in his own hand is more than enough.

Faced with the attention of everyone, it is obviously impossible for the examiner with a little blood to take the shield regardless of his face.Not to mention Gerald's violent temper, which led him to give up his shield and other weapons.

It seems fair to both of them, but Gerald only has a short axe, while Reilly has a scabbard in addition to a long sword that can be used for defense.

When two weapons are used against one, the result is needless to say.

The most terrifying thing is that Rayleigh never used the scabbard. When Gerald ignored this and tried to counterattack, he instantly caught his flaw and killed him with one blow.Being able to combine wisdom in battle is extremely difficult at this age.

Of course, the most important thing is to rely on your own strength.

If Rayleigh's left hand was not strong, fast and even capable of control, he would not be able to hit the ax handle in front of him with one blow and break it open.

Balance your hands! !
They naturally saw this, and became more and more passionate about that figure. At the same level of strength, this genius could not see any weaknesses.

……

"Rayleigh is really a monster!"

Scarty and others could no longer describe their feelings at this time in words. Gerald, who had strength far beyond theirs, was actually crushed to death.

This is simply unimaginable.

I thought Kaisen was just making a modest statement, but I didn't expect it to be true.But they also breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, it was all over.

and many more……

The scene in his sight suddenly changed in the next second. Gerald, who had closed his eyes, suddenly raised his hanging hatchet again...

Danger!Raleigh!
The eyes of the would-be warriors on the sidelines, who were about to fall out of shock, instantly retracted and turned into deep worry.No one could predict that the dead Gerald would resurrect and launch a sudden attack.

"Gerald will not die so easily."

Among the crowd, bearded Tom's worried eyes gave him a glimmer of hope again.

"It's interesting!"

The eyes of the big men on the command stage also changed slightly, and the giant man even sighed with relief.It ended so lightly, without even breaking a sweat. It really ruined the scenery and failed to show Rayleigh's true strength.At that moment, Gerald closed his eyes to make the opponent think he was dead. His left hand dropped down and he grasped the sword's edge decisively in an instant.This guy is obviously not that unbearable, and he has both combat intelligence and bravery.

At least he's cruel enough to himself.

In their eyes, the strength of both parties was naturally not strong, but this moment also turned into a sufficiently exciting duel.

……

'go to hell! '

The moment he swung the ax with his right hand, Gerald suddenly opened his eyes that turned scarlet due to the rising blood, and his expression became even more ferocious. He had been waiting for this moment.

No one would have thought that their heart happens to be on the right side.

This is called life should not be cut off!

The palm and five fingers of the left hand holding the sword's edge were completely stained red with blood, but they also held the long sword that pierced the body firmly.He knew deeply that this long sword could not be withdrawn by the person in front of him no matter what.

Otherwise, if the ax is dodged and the sword is withdrawn, facing the gap in pure strength, he will still inevitably be defeated.

Faced with this chance of victory or defeat, the moment Gerald drew his axe, he took advantage of the situation and turned slightly sideways.In addition to the palm of his hand, he also used the power of his bones to completely lock the sword in his body.

Just locking it in for a moment is enough.

'not dead? '

Rayleigh found that he could not withdraw his long sword for a while, and his eagle eyes changed slightly, and the ax that came in front of him was already reflected in his pupils.

This short period of time was obviously not enough for him to withdraw his sword.

At such a close distance, and with the other party mentally prepared, the scabbard, which was more suitable for mid-range, could not block a few ax blows.Without hesitation, Rayleigh decisively let go of the sword with his right hand and took a step back. At the same time, a scabbard followed in time and split the hatchet.

Without giving him any time to breathe, the hatchet struck again.

Rayleigh stepped back, waving the scabbard of his sword and entering defensive mode.

"You don't have any swords. What can you use to fight me? Can you just rely on the toys in your hands?"

Gerrard let out a sentence of anger that had been suppressed for the entire game.His left hand suddenly pulled at the same time, completely pulling the long sword into his body, leaving only the hilt outside.

The ax in his right hand didn't stop at all. He knew he couldn't stop.Once you stop and give the opponent time to breathe, your body will not be able to continue fighting for long as the blood continues to flow out.

If he didn't risk his life now, he would have to crush this beast completely with just one breath.Until he turned into a corpse and was trampled under his feet forever.

Rayleigh ignored the provocation that passed into his ears. Faced with the completely lifeless fighting style of the man in front of him, he lost the sharp weapon in his hand. He also had no full-body armor that could ignore the ax blow, so he could only focus on defense.

Careless! !

He really didn't expect that this person would be a mirror heart, so his sword got stuck and he lost his weapon and opportunity.

And the moment he saw Gerald closing his eyes, he felt relieved.If you don't have the observation ability of an eagle eye and notice the raised ax in advance, you may actually be killed by a sudden axe.

"It's better to retreat. Keep retreating for me!"

Gerald roared again, as if the God of War came to the world. Facing the defenseless Rayleigh, there was no need to worry at the moment, just crush him.

If you worry about it for a second longer, you will look like a coward.

He seemed crazy and disorganized, but his eyes were always locked on the position of the weapon rack.At every critical moment, he can always block the way to the weapons rack one step ahead.

……

In the eyes of the outside crowd, they also clearly saw that the situation of the duel was completely reversed from the beginning, with Gerrard completely gaining the upper hand.But Rayleigh, who only held the scabbard, was like a small boat in the wind and rain, as if he would be crushed by the storm in the next second.

"Rayleigh is in danger!"

The faces of Skadi and others in the crowd were full of worry. After all, the impact resistance of the wooden scabbard was limited, and it was hollow. If it was hit frequently, it would be broken into pieces soon.

If the scabbard breaks, hit the person holding the weapon with your fists, and you can imagine the consequences.Even a raider warrior, if he is unarmed and sees an ordinary raider with weapons blocking the road, he has to go around.

The gap between the two on the field was obviously not so big that they could ignore their weapons.

They were waiting for Gerald's strength to dry up as the blood flowed away, but in their eyes, Gerald obviously still continued that tone, showing more and more courage as he fought without any signs of exhaustion.

"Well done, Gerald, kill him..."

The bearded Tom, who had been depressed since the beginning of the duel, finally felt proud when he saw such an exciting scene in front of him, and shouted loudly towards the field.

The peripheral vision passed by the widow, and I saw a trace of worry on her young face.

Thom was even more proud, so what if he was a genius? If he rose up on the corpse of this genius, Gerrard might actually have some hope of becoming a general.

"Senior will definitely win."

Wayne gave himself and the surrounding quasi-soldiers a word of encouragement. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the scabbard in his sight was completely shattered in the collision with the ax body.

Their hearts instantly went cold——
