Path of Light.

Chapter 76
What Adams never expected was that Roy didn't even raise his shield in the face of the epee stabbed by Adams.

He didn't pay attention to Adams at all, and the hammer in his hand hit Steve who was trying to get around behind him.

Adams was forced to change his move, took a step forward, blocked the wooden hammer with his sword, and said to Steve:
"Give Roy to me!"

After speaking, he swung the epee again and slashed at Roy's punctured shoulder diagonally.

And Steve also adjusted his steps and rushed towards Claire, handing out the military stab in his hand at this moment...

Steve used almost all his strength in this thrust, and the thrusting saber turned into a white light in his hand.

At this time, Claire greeted him without showing any weakness, and wiped the long dagger horizontally towards Steve's throat.

Neither of them dodged the other's killing move...

And Steve was confident that he could stab a bloody hole in Claire before Claire's long dagger was on his neck.

There has been an exclamation in the stands.

But at this moment, a wooden hammer appeared obliquely in front of Steve.

Roy's wooden hammer actually stopped in front of Steve.

If Steve's stabbing saber is not retracted, it will inevitably be stabbed on the wooden hammer.

It forced Steve to rush to the side to avoid the full blow of the wooden hammer.

He passed Roy's gavel, and with his speed advantage, he narrowly avoided Claire's 'throat cut'.

The long sword in Adams' hand slashed on Roy's shoulder, and the chain mail dented suddenly...

A blue light appeared again in the depression.

Adams thought that even if the sword couldn't cut through the chain mail, it could still smash Roy's shoulder blades. Unfortunately, the moment the epee landed on the shoulder, that arm was like a slippery loach, and the epee was unaffected. Force to slide out the back.

Although the Blessing of Asylum helped Roy avoid the sword, Roy, who was cut by Adams' sword, was also very uncomfortable at the moment, feeling a sharp pain in the shoulder holding the round wooden shield.

Roy snorted.

Even the round wooden shield in his hand could hardly be lifted.

Steve, who was stopped by Roy, jumped at Claire again.

Claire quickly jumped up to avoid it, and stabbed the long dagger in Steve's abdomen.

Roy shouted: "Claire, now!"

As soon as his voice fell, a ball of holy light that had been hidden in the log shield flew out suddenly, and the holy light suddenly appeared in front of Steve under Roy's manipulation.

Although the light was not too dazzling, it almost completely obscured Steve's vision at such a close distance.

Steve only felt that a ball of light suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and his eyes were white.

The mallet in Roy's hand hit Steve's sword-holding wrist, sending his thrusting saber flying, and then the shield that hit it slammed into Steve's face.

Even a round wooden shield made close contact with Steve's face at high speed.

Steve's head was thrown backwards to the right by the shield.

Claire had already followed. The long dagger in his hand was about to stab Steve in the lower abdomen. Seeing him flying backwards with his head up, he pressed his wrist down slightly. The long dagger without any edge It penetrated hard into the thigh wrapped in leather pants.

The long dagger pierced through the light leather armor and made a bloody hole in Steve's thigh, which also made Steve fall hard to the ground.

Adams had no time to rescue Steve, and the epee pierced Roy's back...

There seemed to be a pair of eyes behind Roy. Just a second before the epee pierced his back, he turned around suddenly, and the epee almost slid out against his back.

Adams saw that the sword pierced the air again, and the hands holding the sword pressed down on the hilt with all their strength...

The epee changed direction in an instant, and a full thrust turned into a sweep.

Roy couldn't avoid it, and was hit in the left rib by the epee.

The chain mail on Roy's body was torn open, and there was only a shallow mark on the exposed ribs.

Claire had already drawn out the long dagger at this time, and turned to face Adams...

Roy, who was wearing chain mail, also stood up with difficulty, holding the mallet in his right hand, and the faint light floated on Roy's left shoulder again. His left arm holding the shield could not be lifted at all, but he paid back to Adams A winner's smile.

……

At this moment, in the stands on Steve's side, the elves stood up one after another.

They ran to the railing of the stands and looked at Steve who was lying on the arena with concern.

At this time, Instructor Nora had already rushed to Steve's side to check his injuries, and after seeing the bloody hole stabbed in his thigh, he announced that Steve was out.

Although Steve was unwilling, he didn't argue...

The elves couldn't understand Roy's fighting style, and protested loudly:
"What is this? Why do the priests in the temple still go to the Elven Academy?"

"He just used a magic spell..."

There was chaos in the stands opposite...

And the stands on Claire's side cheered.

……

Roy stood up again, and Claire double-teamed Adams.

Although Roy couldn't lift his left arm at all, he still swung the wooden hammer twice provocatively, and approached Adams step by step.

"Give up struggling and let yourself lose decently, Adams..."

Roy was still speaking sarcastically.

Roy and Claire didn't take the lead in attacking either.

Adams suddenly realized that Roy was recovering his strength, so he rushed towards the injured Roy first.

Adams judged that Roy was wearing heavy armor, which not only made it difficult for him to move, but also injured his shoulder at the moment. As long as Roy was knocked out with a sword, there might not be no chance of a comeback in this duel.

It's just that he got it wrong again...

Just when Adams thought that Roy's left arm could not fight, and slashed a sword towards Roy's left side, Roy actually raised the round wooden shield to block Adams' epee.

The sword poet used his own strength to suppress Roy the whole time, without any poetic sword moves.

Seeing Instructor Nora shaking her head again and again...

Adams was obviously outstanding in swordsmanship, but he was lured by Roy from the beginning of the battle to hit him frequently, and in the end he couldn't even see such an obvious 'lure'.

Roy blocked Adams' sword with his shield, and the wooden hammer in his hand hit Adams' chest.

A hammer almost made Adams lose his breath...

Claire, who was waiting for an opportunity, posted it again. At the moment Adams fell back, he locked Adams' neck with his arms, and the long dagger in his hand was on his chest.

Instructor Nora immediately appeared next to the two of them, reached out and grabbed Claire's wrist, and raised his hand holding the long dagger...

"Claire and Roy win!"

Instructor Nora announced loudly.

Hearing Instructor Nora's announcement of victory, Roy sat down on the ground, dropped the wooden hammer in his hand, and rubbed his left shoulder, which was almost unconscious.

Claire walked up to Roy with a long dagger in hand, and first gave him a high-five to celebrate the victory...

Then he bent down to check his injuries, and helped him take off the bulky chain mail on his body.

The effect of the 'Stone Skin Technique' on the two of them hadn't disappeared yet. Roy, who took off his chain mail, was only wearing a linen shirt, and his exposed skin was covered with rock markings.

His left shoulder was first stabbed by Steve with a stabbing saber, and then cut by the epee. Apart from a scratch, there was also a large bruise.

There was still a lot of blood coming out of the cut.

"how do you feel?"

Without waiting for Roy to answer, Claire took out a bottle of life sap from his waist, pulled out the cork and wanted to pour it down for Roy.

At least Steve and Adams are doing the same thing right now.

This time Roy blocked all the attacks of the two opponents, so Claire had a chance to knock them out...

Roy fended off the sap of life that Claire handed over, motioned for him to cover the cork, and forced the corner of his mouth to smile:

"I think you can try wearing plate armor next time. Chain mail can't block stabbing sabers, nor can it block blunt weapons... Adams' epee is completely used as a blunt weapon. I feel that my left shoulder has lost consciousness. gone."

"Drinking this will make your injury heal faster..." Claire said to Roy.

"No need to waste it like this, I have free ones!"

Roy pointed to Jasper and Abbott who ran down from the stands, and said proudly.

"Roy, I think you have opened up a new way of thinking for our trainee priests. It seems that it is not impossible to fight in heavy armor..."

As soon as Jasper came down, he said to Roy excitedly.

Abbott also said happily:
"That's right, I plan to try it when I go back this time, but I don't know if the chain mail can block the spiritual attacks of the dead."

At this time, Instructor Nora walked up to the two of them, said "The tactics are not bad!", then turned and left.

Claire's friends ran down from the stands and congratulated Claire!
There are also people who keep asking Claire about Roy's identity...
