Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 207 Temptation
Perrin Estate.

Looking at the tall figure in the center of the arena, the guards' eyes gleamed with admiration.

Under the dazzling firelight, the bronze-colored armor emitted a blood-red glow, making the young man's resolute face look like a god descended to earth!
The booming sound had barely reached Yaro's ears when the heavily armored warriors, poised to strike with their elbows, were already within arm's reach!
The rounded elbow guards flashed with golden light, like flying arrows, or even more like powerful battering rams.

Better to take ten punches than one elbow!
When the person who elbows you is a fully armored knight, even a strong bull blocking your way will be knocked down!

The guards cheered wildly, "Good!"

This is the power they yearn for!
This is the immense power their master possesses!
Yaro narrowed his eyes, his mind highly focused, and paid no attention to the commotion around him.

Although he had killed many Lost Ones with the strength of a formal Knight, he was wearing heavy lead and iron armor at the time and had activated his 'Black Flame Wings'. This should not be taken as normal, and formal Knights should not be underestimated because of it.

Claire's elbow strike was not only too powerful for the Bulls to withstand, but Yaro was certain that his own body would also be unable to withstand it!
Seeing a hint of pity flash across the resolute face before him, he noticed that Claire had quietly stomped her feet a few more times to reduce the force of the impact.

Yaro sighed inwardly – ​​this is really troublesome.

If Claire shows no mercy, Yaro need not worry; he can simply use any means necessary to defeat her quickly.

However, Claire's repeated reminders and restraint made Yaro somewhat hesitant, making it difficult for him to use certain powerful moves with strong aftereffects.

However, without using those techniques, Yaro couldn't come up with a good plan to defeat the armored knights.

Moreover—he deliberately didn't take out his weapon for certain effects.

However, now is not the time to hesitate.

Since we haven't come up with a great solution yet, let's just play along for now!
……

Almost at the same moment Claire stepped within a meter of him, Yaro suddenly shifted to the side, using the leopard skin as a shield, and slapped it against the side of his elbow.

boom!
Even from the side, even with the leopard skin used as a shield, the immense force contained in the elbow still made Yaro's arm ache and go numb.

"go with!"

Yaro's pupils contracted sharply, and he used his leg strength to stabilize his center of gravity.

Head down, waist turned to the side.

The leopard skin in his hand was as slippery as a catfish, easily gliding over Claire's gleaming armor, dodging the elbow strike while using the momentum to dodge and defend against any possible counterattack from Claire.

What a quick response!
What amazing skills!
A hint of surprise flashed in Claire's eyes. She quickly mobilized her leg muscles and stomped heavily into the ground, drawing a long, narrow ditch in the ground.

laugh--!
The pebbles slid down, dust swirled, and a harsh scraping sound was heard.

Yaro exerted force from his waist, his body like a tightly compressed spring, and his leg suddenly sprang up, kicking Claire in the armor on her lower back before she could react.

bump!
The soles of their feet struck the armor with a dull thud.

The armor was tough enough to withstand Yaro's flying kick, but Yaro's choice to use his foot instead of his knee meant that he was kicking Claire in the key position where she twisted her waist to generate power!

He only wanted to add another force in the direction Claire was charging towards!
A single straw can break a camel's back, because the camel has already been carrying a load to its limit!

Claire's impact was already very strong, and after Yaro dodged to the side, without any way to dissipate the force, it was difficult for her to stop.

The force of the kick from below her lower back was like a nail being driven into a blocked pipe. Caught between the opposing forces, Claire lost all control of her body and could only let it continue its mad dash, leaving several remarkably clear footprints on the soft ground before finally coming to a stop.

The roaring guards seemed to have been suddenly choked, and the surroundings fell silent.

Just as Yaro could tell at a glance that Claire was a formal knight, there are many details that cannot be concealed by someone who has undergone long-term knight training, and anyone with a little experience can see them at a glance.

Naturally, they could also see that Yaro had not undergone any knightly training.

However, even some of the apprentice knights among them could not defend against a sudden attack launched by a regular knight within a three-meter radius.

Why was that gaunt boy able to dodge so easily?

Yaro stood calmly in place, with a small circle of dust forming at the toes of his feet—he hadn't moved at all, he had only rotated his body using his toes!
Compare the deep footprints left by Claire—the difference is immediately apparent!
Yaro's behavior at this moment could even be described as 'teasing'!

Baron Claire turned around, his body slightly lowered, and he raised his greatsword to the side.

His expression was unusually serious, and his entire mental state was completely different from before!

“Mr. Yarrow, I apologize for Bard’s disrespectful words,” Claire said calmly, seemingly unconcerned about her embarrassing run. “With your skills, you certainly have the ability to fight back even if you encounter ‘Shadow’ in the wild.”

Seeing Claire's current posture, Yaro sensed a hint of unfinished business and asked with a half-smile, "And then?"

Claire looked at Yaro's right hand, which was holding the leopard skin, and said with narrowed eyes, "I sensed it just now. There was a longsword hidden in that leopard skin. I hope for a fair fight!"

Yaro understood.

You disagree?
Or perhaps it's because he felt ashamed for disgracing his subordinates and wanted to prove himself?
Or perhaps it's simply a case of being eager to test one's skills right from the start?

Yaro knew the difference in fighting style between himself and a formal knight.

That last move was the limit of Yaro's restraint. If he were to use weapons to continue, Yaro would have to admit defeat outright.

Otherwise, Yaro would only be able to injure or even kill Claire.

Since Yaro couldn't compete with a regular knight in strength, he had to draw his weapon and attack Claire's weaknesses!
He hadn't lied before.

Not carrying weapons meant he didn't want to hurt Claire.

Whether from a perspective of self-interest or simply out of admiration for Claire, Yaro didn't want to hurt her.

Claire's body was rising and falling slightly as he continuously activated the Knight Breathing Technique!

If we don't use weapons—it seems like this situation won't get out of hand?
Yaro looked at the leopard skin in his hand and pondered for a moment.

Claire added, "If you can defeat me, that will prove you weren't lying."

“You were right before. So many of us were killed by those monsters. You killed it, so you are our benefactor. Ten gold coins, I will present them to you immediately!”

"Oh?"

Yaro looked up at Claire.

He simply couldn't resist the temptation!
