American comics: Super Omega Mutant
Chapter 169 Roy vs Diana
After hearing what Hippolyta said, Antiope was stunned.
Then, he quickly replied: "Okay, I will definitely find out his strength and formulate a battle plan that can effectively target him."
Hippolyta nodded and continued, "If there is nothing else, you can go out."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Antiope bowed slightly to Hippolyta, then turned and walked towards the door of the study.
Just as she was about to leave the study, Hippolyta suddenly remembered something and said, "Wait a moment."
Antiope stopped, turned around, and looked at Hippolyta in confusion.
As she watched, Hippolyta slowly said, "Starting today, increase the intensity of Diana's training."
"She is not a child anymore. It's time to set higher goals for her."
"Okay, I'll develop a new training plan for her."
Antiope replied without any hesitation.
On Paradise Island, not many people knew that Diana was the illegitimate daughter of Zeus, and Antiope was one of them.
It is precisely because she knows Diana's true identity that she places her hopes on Diana to deal with the god of war Ares.
Otherwise, even if Diana was Hippolyta's daughter, she would not think that Diana had the strength to deal with Ares.
Compared to ordinary people, Amazons are indeed stronger in physique.
But even so, it is still not enough to compete with Ares.
Don't say Ares is a god.
Even compared to other superhumans, the physical attributes of the Amazons do not give them any advantage.
After answering, Antiope bowed slightly to Hippolyta again.
Then, under Hippolyta's gaze, he left the study.
At this time, Hippolyta and Antiope didn't know that Diana had invited Roy to observe her afternoon training.
After lunch in the public restaurant, Diana acted as a guide, introducing Paradise Island to Roy and asking him about the universe he was in.
Although Diana is already an adult, she is now like a curious little girl because she has never left Paradise Island.
However, this is normal.
If the roles were reversed, he would be even more curious than Diana.
After leaving the town, Diana took Roy to her exclusive training ground.
This is an open grassland located on the edge of a cliff.
The area of the grass is not small, it is even larger than a basketball court.
Although it is Diana's exclusive training ground, there are quite a few people in it.
Before arriving at the training ground, Roy saw more than a dozen Amazon female warriors.
Some of these Amazon warriors held spears, some carried bows and arrows, and some carried swords.
They gathered in groups of three or four, standing around the training ground and chatting.
There are several weapon racks next to the training ground.
There are some archery targets on the hills on both sides.
When they saw Diana and Roy walking towards the training ground, the Amazon warriors all looked at them and began to whisper quickly.
Neither Diana nor Roy paid any attention to their stares.
Diana didn't care because she was the daughter of Hippolyta, a princess of the Amazons, and had grown up under the scrutiny and attention of everyone.
Roy didn't care because he also had extensive experience in being the center of attention.
Not to mention that he was just being stared at by a dozen or twenty people, even if he was being stared at by tens of thousands of people, he wouldn't take it to heart.
Soon, Roy and Diana arrived at the training ground.
Seeing that her combat teacher Antiope had not come yet, Diana said to Roy: "Besides casting magic, do you know any other ways to fight?"
"Although I am a magician, I also studied close combat for a period of time."
"However, I'm not very good at using cold weapons like swords."
Roy said slowly.
He told the truth.
Although his close combat ability is pretty good, he is not very good at cold weapons such as swords.
Of course, he can use it when necessary.
After hearing his answer, Diana's eyes suddenly lit up and she said quickly:
"Aunt Antiope hasn't arrived yet, how about we just have a simple competition first."
"Don't worry, I won't bully you because you're a magician."
Seeing the expectant expression on Diana's face, Roy smiled and replied, "Since you want to play, I'll play with you."
Diana walked towards the weapon rack with a happy face and picked up two long swords from the weapon rack.
Just as she handed one of them to Roy accurately, Roy said, "No, I have one myself."
Do you have one?
Diana looked at him in confusion.
Under Diana's gaze, Roy used the Iceman's superpowers to create a transparent ice sword that looked like a crystal work of art.
To him, it was nothing, as simple as breathing.
But after seeing this scene, both Diana and the other Amazon female warriors around the training ground showed surprised expressions.
Without any hesitation, Diana quickly asked, "Besides the ice sword, can you make other weapons?"
"can!"
"Any cold weapon will do if I want."
Roy replied.
As soon as he finished speaking, an expression of envy appeared on Diana's face.
Although she didn't know how Roy did it, she was sure of one thing: Roy's ability was very convenient.
If she also had this ability, she could use appropriate weapons according to different situations at any time.
Not only that, she no longer needs to worry about not having a suitable weapon.
I wish I could do this kind of magic!
Diana sighed in her heart.
After sighing, she put one of the swords back on the weapon rack and picked up a shield.
Shield in left hand, sword in right hand!
Although Diana has not awakened her divine power yet, after seeing her current appearance, Roy's mind unconsciously flashed the image of Diana wearing Wonder Woman's uniform, holding the sword of Vulcan and the divine shield.
After performing a simple sword dance, Diana said to Roy, "Are you ready?"
Roy nodded without saying anything.
After seeing his response, Diana launched the attack without any hesitation.
In just a blink of an eye, Diana came in front of Roy and swung the sword in her hand with lightning speed.
Facing Diana's attack, Roy raised the ice sword in his right hand to block Diana's attack.
clang!
A crisp collision sound suddenly rang out!
Although what Roy was holding in his hand was not a metal sword, but an ice sword.
But the ice sword he made was no weaker than the metal sword in Diana's hand in terms of strength and sharpness.
Not only that, if he wanted, the ice sword in his hand could further change its shape.
For example, getting bigger or longer.
However, he doesn't plan to do that now.
Diana was not an enemy, so there was no need to change the form of the ice sword to catch Diana off guard. The moment Roy swung his sword to block her attack, Diana knew that what Roy had just said was true, and he was indeed not very good at using cold weapons.
From her point of view, Roy's sword swinging movements had many flaws.
The reason why he was able to block her attack was simply because Roy was strong enough and fast enough.
In other words, Roy's swordsmanship was far inferior to hers, and he only relied on his stronger physical attributes to block her attack.
After realizing this, Diana immediately changed her tactics. She turned her wrist and the sword drew a graceful arc, slashing towards Roy.
Although it was a very ordinary slash, it has to be said that Diana is worthy of being a female warrior who has been practicing swordsmanship since she was a child.
The attack angle of her sword was extremely changed.
Roy could clearly see the trajectory of the sword, but he couldn't continue to use the ice sword to block Diana's sword.
It's not that he couldn't react, it's purely a matter of angle.
Just as the sword was about to hit him, Roy suppressed the urge to use Void and energy absorption, and suddenly exerted force with his legs to step back.
Diana seemed to have guessed that he would choose to dodge, and followed him like a shadow, swinging the sword in her hand once again.
Roy sighed helplessly and used Iceman's superpowers once again.
He did not choose to freeze Diana, but instead created a round shield in his left hand.
A crystal clear round shield took shape instantly, blocking the sword in Diana's hand.
After her attack was blocked again, Diana did not continue attacking. She took a few steps back and put some distance between herself and Roy.
Then, he said to Roy: "The difficulty of using sword and shield is higher than using long sword. Are you sure you want to fight me with sword and shield?"
After hearing her words, Roy said calmly: "Sword and Shield are indeed more difficult, but Sword and Shield is more suitable for me to learn your fighting style."
what?
Diana looked at Roy in surprise.
After a few seconds, a bright smile like the sun appeared on her delicate, fair face.
"You plan to study and fight me at the same time?"
Diana asked Roy.
"Yes!"
“I am confident in my ability to learn.”
Roy replied seriously.
"In that case, let me see how strong your learning ability is!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Diana attacked Roy again.
Although they used the same weapon, there was no suspense. In front of Diana, a master of cold weapons, Roy quickly fell into a disadvantage.
If it was a real fight, Diana wouldn't even have the chance to get close to him.
But in the cold weapon combat, he unsurprisingly lost all initiative.
Under the gaze of other Amazon warriors, Roy was beaten by Diana and retreated in a panic.
Time passes little by little.
Just when Diana and others thought he couldn't hold on for much longer, things started to go in the opposite direction.
After adapting to Diana's attack rhythm, especially after witnessing Diana's skills in using the sword and shield, Roy gradually found the skills to use the sword and shield.
Although his movements were still a little unfamiliar and far from as skilled as Diana's, he did learn the techniques of using the sword and shield from Diana.
Did he really learn it?
Diana showed a surprised expression when she saw Roy's sword and shield skills gradually becoming more proficient.
Although Roy had clearly stated that he had a good learning ability, she never expected that Roy could actually use the sword and shield in a short period of time.
The use of cold weapons seems simple.
But it is very difficult to really master it.
Without long-term hard study and practice, it is difficult to truly master it.
Especially in front of insiders.
You can tell the other person's depth at a glance.
Diana could tell at a glance that Roy was not good at swordsmanship.
Although a little surprised, Diana quickly calmed down.
It is a taboo to let your mind wander during battle!
Diana put away her playful mood and began to treat Roy as a real opponent.
When she got serious, Roy was at a disadvantage again.
Although he lost the initiative again, he still defended himself perfectly and did not let Diana hit him.
Compared with Diana, he does still have some gaps now.
But it would be easy for Diana to hit him.
Before I knew it, a few minutes had passed.
After realizing that she couldn't defeat Roy for a while, Diana stopped attacking and said to Roy, "No more fighting, I lost."
Before Roy could speak, she continued, "You had never practiced sword and shield before, but you quickly mastered the techniques of using sword and shield by learning my moves."
"If you continue to fight, I will definitely be the loser. Your learning ability is amazing."
Diana was not someone who couldn't afford to lose, and she looked at Roy calmly.
"You didn't lose!"
"I was able to block your attack by learning from you. Let's call it a draw this time."
Roy said to Diana.
He is not being modest.
Without using other superpowers and magic, he would not be able to defeat Diana even if he continued to learn Diana's skills.
He would not forget that Diana was a demigod and possessed divine powers that ordinary people did not possess.
Once Diana awakens her powers, Diana can easily defeat him without using super powers or magic.
"It's a draw, so let's call it a draw."
Diana replied quickly.
Roy nodded and removed the ice sword and ice shield.
Diana glanced around and frowned as she said, "Why hasn't Aunt Antiope come yet? It's almost time for training."
"Maybe he was delayed by something else."
Roy replied.
As soon as he finished speaking, Antiope, riding a warhorse, appeared in his and Diana's sight.
Not long after, Antiope came to the training ground, looked at Roy with a cold expression, and quickly said, "What are you doing here?"
"Come and watch Diana train."
Roy didn't care about Antiope's expression and said casually.
"Diana's training is not a performance. It is not suitable for outsiders to watch. Please leave here immediately."
Antiope said quickly.
"What if I say I'm not leaving?"
Roy asked Antiope in return.
After seeing Roy and Antiope becoming confrontational, Diana quickly said, "I invited Roy here, so it's okay for him to take a look."
