No matter how sharp Brando's ears were, it was impossible for him to eavesdrop on the conversation of a few normal youths. Moreover, he was trying to familiarize himself with the sword in his hand. It was a magic sword, but it was a very common one and was slightly lighter than the average sword.
[This sword is at most a low magic item. I've used similar swords before, but I don't remember their names because I've used them over the years.]
The young man casually swung the sword, and the wind swept out left two shallow marks on the sand. Kodan's eyes lit up when he saw this. "It really is the White Raven Swordsmanship." Kodan had recovered from his shock, but he immediately raised his eyebrows.
'The White Raven Swordsmanship is one of the most secretive swordsmanship in Erouine's palace. How did this kid learn it?' He thought to himself.
However, the youths also saw the same thing and began to argue.
"What is he doing?" Maher asked with a frown when he saw the white light on Brendel's sword, and the sand around him was also covered in smoke.
"He's creating smoke, right?" Jocah replied with uncertainty: "He's looking for an opportunity to defeat his enemy in the smoke. Don't you know that, Maher?"
"He can't see anyone in the smoke, can't he?"
Jocah was stunned for a moment before he rolled his eyes, "Then there must be some sort of special technique. Why else would someone create trouble for themselves? It's easy to figure it out — "
However, Cohen interrupted them. He looked for a long time and finally confirmed it. "He is familiarizing himself with the sword."
"Familiarizing himself with the sword?"
"That sword was given to him by Captain Kodan," someone said.
But was it really okay to change swords before the battle? Even though the youths had not seen much of the world, they knew that it would affect the outcome. They could not help but look at the battlefield. Brando had stopped what he was doing and seemed to be ready.
Metisha stood behind the youth with a silver shuttle in her hand. Because they were deep underground, her unicorn did not follow her. However, even on the ground, the Silver Elves' ancient battle techniques were not inferior.
Kodan had experienced it before, so he didn't dare to underestimate this little girl.
The gate to the north of the arena opened once again. Behind it was the same three-headed hellhound that had died once before. This giant beast's claws were on the ground, and its three heads were letting out low growls. Its three pairs of blood-red eyes were looking around, as if it was looking for its previous enemy.
Its appearance caused a wave of low sighs, as if no one had expected this thing to come back from the dead.
And this time, with the previous experience, the monster from the Sulfur River seemed to have learned its lesson. It waited for the owner of the arena to release it from its chains before it shook its black and red fur and entered the arena.
It sniffed and revealed a cautious expression. It circled around and slowly approached Brando and Metisha.
Everyone else thought that the dog had learned its lesson, but Kodan smelled something unusual in the air.
The old man stared at the center of the arena, his nose twitching. He couldn't help but frown and complain, "This little guy doesn't know how to control his aura. The whole arena is shrouded in his aura. Compared to him, the little girl is much gentler …"
His frown deepened. "But what is this smell? An Element? What kind of Element is this? It's strange … "
The surroundings were getting colder and colder. Frost had even appeared on the sand on the walls. The flow of the air seemed to have stopped, as if the entire place was filled with a sense of stillness.
Even the youths who were dozens of meters away felt as though they had lost their footing and were stuck in a quagmire, let alone Cerberus who was right in front of him.
The youth stared at the dog's six large blood-red eyes with a calm expression. However, the latter did not feel so good. The Hellhound felt as if there was a heavy mountain pressing down on its body, and its front and back paws were shackled firmly. Not to mention attacking, it could not even take a single step forward.
The Hellhound subconsciously lowered its three heads, as if it wanted to resist this unstoppable force.
"Eh?" Kodan was slightly surprised.
At this moment, the words' stability 'and' stillness' were clear in Brando's mind. He felt as if he could touch the rules. Just like when he fought against Kabias, he felt as if the power of his Element was in his hands, and he could use it at any time.
He knew that this feeling was just an illusion. Compared to the Gold Stage, the power of his Element was like a trigger that could not be controlled.
But now, this trigger had been triggered.
Everyone, including the youths, felt that something was wrong. They saw the two-storey beast kneel down in front of Brando. The demon's limbs and chin were on the ground, as if it was a subject submitting to its king.
It had no choice but to submit because the immense power made it unable to move.
The young man stood there motionlessly, looking at the other party, as if he had accepted this kind of submission with a clear conscience.
Everyone was stunned by this scene. Kodan was even more stunned. What kind of Element was this? Was it the aura of a king?
"Metisha, go." But Brando only said one sentence. Unlike everyone else, he felt a powerful force roaring in his heart, roaring to dominate everything. It was as if a terrifying beast would break out of its shell at any time.
He even had the illusion that if he raised his hand, the world would collapse.
It was as if he had the power of a god.
Then, the Silver Elf princess moved. The silver shuttle in her hand turned into a silver line that extended forward, the tip flashing with the cold light of death.
Time seemed to be stretched by this attack. Everyone saw the simple silver line draw a semicircle around the arena, and then slowly approach the hellhound from one side.
As long as it was moving forward, it could pierce through the demon's three heads.
But at the last moment, under the pressure of the aura of death, the hellhound finally broke free from Brando's Element. It used all its strength to raise its head and jump back. It had clearly avoided the fatal blow.
But a strange thought flashed through Brando's mind. It was as if the entire world was under his control. With just a thought, he pulled the beast back. With a soft sound, Metisha's small body raised the spear. The silver shuttle pierced through the three heads and pulled the unlucky hellhound up high, throwing it forward.
Its corpse fell to the sand with a loud thud.
It was a one-hit kill.
The youths, including Maher, were all stunned.
Kodan thought he heard his own jaw drop to the ground. The old man couldn't help but touch his chin to make sure that the item was still in his body.
He couldn't be more shocked by the Element of Space.
"That's …" Joka felt as if something was stuck in his throat. The rest of his sentence was stuck in his throat. But no one laughed at him. Everyone was the same.
Brendel noticed this as well. He looked at his own hand and was a little uncertain. Whether it was Spatial Lock or Time Stop, they were infinitely close to the Element of Existence.
However, Medissa had already returned to his side: "My lord?" She asked in surprise. She was the one who had attacked, so she felt it more than anyone else.
Brando waved his hand. He couldn't be sure. At this moment, a voice boomed above the arena.
"Mortal, do you wish to continue?"
"Of course," the young man replied with a mixture of excitement and anxiety.
Varian quickly entered the arena.
"I'll do it this time." Brando said. He could feel that his control over his Element was fading as he passed his peak. He had to test it out as soon as possible to confirm his suspicions.
Metisha looked at him and guessed his intentions. She nodded slightly.
Brendel put down his sword with his right hand and walked towards the Duergar.
His cold aura once again pressed down on the duergar.
Varian was startled and snorted softly. The gray dwarf immediately threw away his arrogance and pretended to be relaxed in order to put pressure on his opponent. His two beady eyes sparkled under his helmet as he solemnly took down his warhammer from his shoulder and held it with both hands. He then shifted his center of gravity and entered a battle stance.
This time, even Jocah could see it. It was a beast's instinctive reaction to danger.
But was that young man really that scary?
He stared at Brendel carefully. He could not imagine that the young man whom he had dealt with, who had a somewhat easy-going attitude, would be dangerous enough to make this dwarf who was like a steel fortress nervous just by looking at him.
He might be strong, but he's still so young! Jocah recalled his own experience. Brando's reaction was similar to the guards in the mines. He thought that their strength should be about the same.
Although that was already very strong in the duergar's eyes.
But he immediately knew that he was wrong. Brando had already attacked. In order to seize the opportunity, the young man charged forward.
In the eyes of the others, it was unbelievably fast. They couldn't even see Brando's trajectory. They could only see his figure disappear and reappear in front of Varian in an instant.
There were even ripples in the air behind him.
The duergar was startled, but his rich battle experience made him raise his warhammer with both hands to block. But his movements froze at this moment. Brendel's sword passed through his defenses like an illusion, passing through the gap between his helmet and breastplate, and piercing through his throat.
The duergar widened his eyes and only had time to let out a soft 'crack'.
Brando stopped in front of the duergar like a ghost. He pressed one hand on the duergar's warhammer and pulled back his sword with the other. The duergar fell to the ground with a loud bang. Black blood slowly spread out from the duergar's body.
