If you can last fifteen rounds against me, you win.
When Arthur heard the words "fifteen rounds," he immediately felt a sense of familiarity.
Isn't this the first time he's fought "all out" with the butler Leon when he learned the combat skill "Blood Boiling"?
In fact, Arthur and his butler Leon had several more encounters since then.
But he discovered that the butler Leon always precisely controlled his "all-out" power to exhaust him within fifteen rounds.
This made Arthur realize that the gap between Iron Knights and Silver Knights was greater than he had imagined.
Thoughts turn.
Arthur could tell from Lawson's words that the butler, Leon, must have mentioned his performance to Mr. Lawson quite a bit.
With this in mind, Arthur stopped worrying and chose to put aside his distractions, drawing the sword from his waist.
He held his sword with both hands, his gaze sharp, facing Lawson who stood not far away:
"Please enlighten me, Mr. Lawson!"
Unexpectedly, no sooner had the words left his mouth than...
Lawson then unleashed astonishing speed, charging towards Arthur and launching a surprise attack.
Time passed in the blink of an eye.
Arthur, on edge, witnessed Lawson suddenly appear right in his vicinity.
The elderly man stood before Arthur like a young man, stretching his body out like a crescent moon, raising his extraordinary warhammer and smashing it down toward Arthur's face.
Arthur immediately retaliated.
He gripped the sword with both hands and aimed a blow at the end of the warhammer's handle.
"boom!"
Arthur's strike landed precisely on the handle of the warhammer, and the collision of the two weapons produced a sharp metallic sound.
Ultimately, the warhammer's attack trajectory veered off course, narrowly missing Arthur.
But Lawson did not stop the attack; instead, he continued to swing the warhammer, which had deviated from its original trajectory.
Then, the warhammer struck the ground.
The next moment, the power Lawson poured into the warhammer erupted, instantly shattering the ground where he and Arthur were standing.
"It's waveguide power!"
Arthur exclaimed.
He sensed Lawson's waveguide power from the collapsing ground.
It was an incredibly domineering purple waveguide power that made him feel a tremor.
Immediately, Arthur dared not be negligent.
He gritted his teeth and used his true skills, the "Fire Lion Breathing Technique".
After being promoted to the Black Iron Rank Knight, Arthur's powerful life force circulated more smoothly.
With a thought, the life force within him immediately unleashed the power of the Flame Wave.
next moment.
The wave of fire enveloped Arthur's entire body, making him feel an abundance of power flowing into his limbs and torso.
Arthur used the power of the Flame Wave to amplify his movements, dodging the debris thrown up by the collapsing ground and creating distance between himself and Lawson.
Lawson did not pursue; instead, he chose to stand amidst the rubble created by his warhammer.
Thus ended the first round of fierce attacks launched by Lawson.
Lawson raised his distinctive warhammer and pointed it at Arthur, who was not far away.
Immediately, he straightened his back, displaying the aura of a strong person.
Lawson introduced himself formally in a serious tone:
“I am Lawson Brick, the Thunder Badger Knight.”
He practices the "Thunder Badger Breathing Technique" of ordinary grade and is a mid-silver grade knight.
My lord, our battle has only just begun!
Chapter 29 Combat Skill: Blazing Charge
Lawson launched himself forward and began another offensive against Arthur.
Upon reaching Arthur's immediate vicinity, a glint of shrewdness flashed in his eyes.
Immediately, he activated the "Thunder Badger Breathing Technique," unleashing a powerful thunderous aura.
He swung his warhammer, which sliced through the air, creating a purple arc of electricity.
Unlike his sparring partner, Leon, Arthur felt unprecedented pressure from Lawson.
He dared not be careless. Once he entered combat mode, he kept his eyes fixed on Lawson's movements, trying to find his weaknesses.
At the same time, Arthur quickly activated the "Flame Lion Breathing Technique," driving the flame wave that surged within his body to attach to his sword blade.
The next moment, Arthur swung his sword to meet the attack.
The clash of sword and hammer produced dazzling sparks and a powerful shockwave, attempting to blast the two apart.
Lawson remained unmoved, using his Thunder Wave to dispel the shockwave.
Lawson then continued to swing his warhammer, launching a swift offensive.
Arthur had no time to catch his breath, gritted his teeth, and had no choice but to keep up with the attack rhythm of the Silver Knight opposite him.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The Thunder Wave made each of Lawson's swings accompanied by a thunderous roar.
Meanwhile, Arthur's Flame Aura, in its confrontation with the Thunder Aura, unleashed scorching flames in resistance.
The clash between the Lightning Wave and the Fire Wave caused the entire empty valley to be filled with violent and mutually repulsive energy fluctuations.
The seemingly stalemate was quickly broken by Lawson.
Lawson revealed a meaningful sneer, and then the waveguide power he was channeling onto his warhammer suddenly increased.
Instantly, the warhammer attack amplified by the Thunder Wave came crashing down on Arthur like a storm.
Arthur began to struggle and could only barely hold on.
suddenly.
The Thunder Wave broke through his Fire Wave and made contact with Arthur.
The lightning wave eroded Arthur's hand holding the sword, causing him to feel numbness the next moment.
The numbness in his palm almost made him drop his sword.
Thus, Arthur, struggling to wield the sword, finally revealed a weakness.
Lawson seized on Arthur's weakness and, just like in the first round, mercilessly used a charged frontal slash once again.
Combat Skill: Blood Boiling!
Seeing this, Arthur had no choice but to unleash his full potential and enter a state of boiling blood.
Instantly, Arthur unleashed his potential, dispelling the paralysis caused by the lightning wave's corrosive influence, and gripped the sword hilt tightly once more.
Immediately, Arthur decisively swung his sword, unleashing a wave-guided slash aimed at Lawson, the Thunder Badger Knight, for his lower body.
Aura Slash is the simplest and most practical combat technique for every knight after advancing to the Iron rank, utilizing aura power.
It involves compressing the waveguide power before releasing it, similar to the Wind Wolf's first-tier wind blade magic in the previous battle.
The Flame Wave Slash hit Lawson as he charged up his attack, interrupting his strike.
Arthur didn't linger in the fight and quickly retreated.
Thus, the second round of the battle came to an end.
"Not bad, not bad! I used 60% of my strength just now and still couldn't defeat you."
Lawson looked closely at Arthur and praised his performance:
"It seems like there hasn't been an event in a long time. It's still a bit difficult to defeat a Black Iron Knight in three rounds."
"Mr. Lawson, you flatter me."
Arthur quickly seized the opportunity during the conversation to frantically practice the "Fire Lion Breathing Technique" to adjust his physical condition.
He looked at Lawson.
"You just used the excellent-grade 'Flame Lion Breathing Technique' combat skill, Blood Boiling, didn't you? It's clear your proficiency in combat skills is quite high."
He saw through Arthur's strength, but then changed the subject:
"However, when it comes to combat skills, this old man doesn't think I'm inferior to you, little fellow."
With that, an even more violent wave of lightning surged from Lawson's body.
The third round of the battle has begun.
"Combat Skill: Thunder Armor!"
With a low growl from Lawson, the surging lightning wave converged into Lawson's left arm.
The lightning wave quickly condensed, forming a purple armor that pulsed with electric arcs, seemingly both real and ethereal.
The appearance of the Thunder Armor made Lawson's aura even more formidable.
His gaze toward Arthur also gleamed with even stronger fighting spirit and confidence.
Lawson then channeled his lightning energy into his legs, unleashing incredible speed as he launched an attack on Arthur.
With the enhancement of his Thunder Armor, Lawson's warhammer swung even more swiftly.
But Arthur did not back down. He knew that if he kept running away, he would not last fifteen rounds.
While in the state of combat skill "Blood Boiling", he also chose to launch an attack on Lawson.
Thus, Lawson and Arthur transformed into domineering purple arcs of light, engaging in a fierce battle with a surging crimson flame.
After five rounds of entanglement.
Using the shockwave from the collision of the warhammer and the sword, Arthur retreated and distanced himself from Lawson.
The battle just now made Arthur realize that Lawson's strength far exceeded his expectations.
This old Silver-rank knight's combat experience and his aura manipulation skills have reached an awe-inspiring level.
Arthur continued to think calmly:
Seven rounds left!
If this situation continues, his blood-boiling potential burst state can only help him last for a maximum of six more rounds.
Now, he must figure out a way to break the deadlock.
Like last time when fighting the Tier 3 Cyclops, did you spend Virtue Points to exchange for "Blessing of Valor"?
As soon as this strategy came to mind, Arthur rationally rejected it from his mind.
The blessing of virtue is his greatest trump card; he cannot possibly waste his precious virtue points on the trials that Lawson, the Thunder Badger Knight, puts him to.
So, there's only one way left.
Putting aside the blessings of virtue, Arthur came up with a risky decision—to use his combat skill, Blazing Charge.
This was a combat technique he had never used in actual combat.
But Arthur had already memorized the techniques for using the combat skill, Blazing Charge.
Now, perhaps, is the time to put our skills to use.
With this in mind, Arthur no longer hesitated.
