With Savanna defeating Wami, the long-term gambling project of "who can knock off Savanna's helmet" finally came to an end.

Some people marveled at Savanna's beauty, some expressed regret for the wound on her face, and some complained that Savanna made them lose money.

But not many people cared that Savannah won.

Wami felt ashamed and disappeared; Savanna didn't care about other people's opinions either.

So after a few days, the discussion about this game basically disappeared. After all, in the eyes of most people, it was just an ordinary game in the sixth round.

The competition continued, Eric, who was promoted to the third level, successfully defeated his second-level opponent and advanced, and the infighting in the Fox family also ended with a winner.

The most eye-catching match of the 6th round finally arrived, with Acore, representing Marquis Anthony, facing Baron Wesassin of Snow Maple County.

With the match between Gul'dan and Omaha as a comparison, this matchup attracted huge attention before it even started, and some details were also revealed.

Baron Versassin, a third-level, three-star Void Knight; Baron Akori, a third-level, seven-star Life Knight.

There was a big difference in fighting spirit between the two, and Vesasi's performance was not as strong as Akori's, so there was no suspense about the outcome.

But before the game, news leaked that Baron Vissaxin bought a third-tier enchanted scimitar at a high price.

To be precise, it is a "pseudo" third order.

Because in essence, it is still just a second-level enchanted equipment, but it can exert the power of the third level by consuming the third-level magic core.

After being used 5-8 times at most, the equipment itself will be scrapped because it cannot withstand the power of the third-level enchantment.

The Sandstorm Spear that Heleti had was of this type. Because it had not been used many times and could not be sold at a high price, it was left in Raven's warehouse to gather dust.

After all, the pseudo-third level can also exert the power of the third level, while Akori's wave blade giant sword is just an ordinary second level. This comparison makes the situation a little confusing.

Since he had watched Gul'dan's match, Raven naturally could not favor one over the other. He came to the box to watch the game before the game. Several big guys were also there.

Archbishop Thomas was still as calm and composed as ever, Earl Tyrone had a smile on his face, Montreal was leaning back in his chair, and Marquis Anthony also appeared quite calm.

But judging from the empty wine glass that Anthony still held in his hand, he was not as calm as he looked.

Anthony was indeed a little nervous.

Gul'dan's performance before was too outstanding. If Akori has a hard time in this game or loses, he will be embarrassed.

In fact, Anthony has begun to regret proposing to hold this competition these days.

Seeing Gul'dan's growing influence, the reputation of the Fox family began to recover. Even if Akori could reach the top in the future, it would not be able to cause too much damage to the Fox family.

But now, there is no possibility of stopping the game or letting Akori withdraw, which makes him feel even more unhappy.

Anthony was so immersed in his own thoughts that he didn't even hear the game start.

By this time, Akori had already exchanged weapons with Versacine.

Akori exclaimed: "What a good knife."

The scimitar in Visasi's hand was a matte black color unique to metal. It was about 60 centimeters long, with a thick back and a thin blade. The blade was as smooth as a mirror, and the handle was almost as long as the blade. It was wrapped with Warcraft leather and had three holes in it. Now, there were three black pearl-like magic cores embedded in it.

Versacine stroked the blade with his fingers: "It is indeed a good knife."

"But you shouldn't use it against me. It will only waste its remaining lifespan." Akori shook his head and chuckled, "As a baron from a borderland, it must be difficult to buy such an expensive weapon, right?"

"You——!" Akori's arrogance made Vesasi's eyebrows stand up: "Don't worry, as long as I defeat you, I can make it back!"

Everyone could see the conflicting atmosphere between the two without Ingra's explanation.

"The duel begins!"

As soon as Ingra finished speaking, Akori suddenly moved!
This is the first time he has taken the initiative in all six rounds of Akori's games since the start of the competition!
The dark green fighting spirit on the wave-blade giant sword ignited, and Akori leaned over to the ground without any noble manners, his legs apart, his right hand holding the knife behind his back, and only his left hand, fingers curled into claws and lying on the ground.

In the box, Anthony breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this scene and put the wine glass on the table.

This is a tactic used exclusively by the warriors of the Orc tribe and the Tiger fighters. It is known as the "Hunting Strategy" in the military.

Fighting against the orcs, Akori learned a lot.

Don't waste unnecessary energy, but never underestimate your opponent!
Thick green life energy burst out from Akori's body. He lunged forward and then stopped, but the energy in his body turned into the shape of a tiger and rushed out suddenly.

Then he half-turned his body, exerted force with his legs and left hand at the same time, twisted his body and leaped up, and the wave-blade giant sword slashed forward from behind, almost carrying him towards Visasinn with the blade!
There was a silhouette of a tiger on the ground, and in the sky was Akori’s pounce. It seemed that Versacine could only dodge!

But he didn't think of dodging. From the moment he knew his opponent was Akori, he had been prepared for a head-on fight.

Raven deliberately arranged him to Akori to stop him - but so what? If he wants to win the championship, he will have to face a strong enemy sooner or later!

The chaotic void fighting spirit enveloped Wesasi, and the first magic core on the hilt of the scimitar in his hand shattered. The blade and his own fighting spirit suddenly boiled, and a strong vibration broke out, and circles of fighting spirit ripples spread out.

"cut!"

Visasi shouted loudly, and even though there was no one in front of him, he still raised the scimitar in his hand and chopped down!

When the blade was halfway through the cut, a crack appeared in front of the blade. The blade sank into the crack, and then suddenly appeared from mid-air, slashing straight at Akori's chest from bottom to top!
This is the third-tier combat skill "Sky-Splitting Slash", which could originally only be used within a two-meter range of itself, but with the blessing of this pseudo-third-tier enchanted weapon, it broke through the limit!
With nowhere to gain leverage in mid-air, Akori was about to hit the blade, but he remained calm. He suddenly loosened his left hand that was holding the wave-blade giant sword and pressed down.

The fighting spirit gushed out from his palm, slightly blocking the blade's advance while also slowing down his own downward trend, making the movement look gentler.

But his gauntlet was still cut by the sharp blade, and blood spilled in the air. The blade paused slightly, and taking this opportunity, Akori raised his knee and slammed it against the blade's spine, and the whole person fell from the air with the reverse force.

At the same time, the green tiger figure on the ground had pounced in front of Visasinn, but was chopped off by Visasinn's sword!

The first fight ended with Akori's left hand injured. "What a good knife." Akori's palm was filled with dark green fighting spirit, and the blood stopped flowing: "It's a pity that you can't use it well."

"Once is new, twice is familiar!" The second magic core shattered, and the rich void fighting spirit enveloped Vissaxin like a thick fog. Then he raised his feet and launched a charge!
Akori rushed forward in response, but just as the two were about to collide, Versacine suddenly disappeared.

The sound of breaking air sounded behind Akori.

He turned around and raised his sword to block, and the collision between the wavy-bladed giant sword and the scimitar brought up a streak of fire. The two men's eyes met, and Akori's fighting spirit shook and he pushed the scimitar back. The blade slashed downwards and headed straight for Visasinn's shoulder, but it only cut the air!

Vesasi's blade appeared behind Akori again and slashed down in mid-air.

Akori seemed to have eyes behind him. He knelt on one knee, holding the huge wave-blade sword on his back, and took the blow head-on. Then he felt a lightness behind him and the blade was right in front of him!
Time seemed to stand still, and Akori could see his own reflection in the blade.

But at this moment, he smiled!

He seemed to be back on the battlefield where he was fighting a life-and-death battle with the orcs. His mouth and nose were filled with the stench and blood of the orcs' bodies, and enemies were everywhere he looked.

What dignity, what grace, all don't matter, what he has to do is to kill everyone who stands in his way, and then...

Live!
He exerted force on his limbs and rolled sideways without any grace, but still failed to avoid the attack completely. The knife penetrated his left shoulder, cut through the shoulder armor and arm armor, and came out from the elbow. Two pieces of the golden armor were blown off and fell to the ground with a clang.

Akori turned over and stood up, his left arm covered in blood.

Wesasi was breathing heavily, and the fighting spirit in his body was beginning to thin.

"Baron Versace used the third-level combat skill 'Void Shuttle' three times in a row. Even with the help of the third-level enchanted scimitar, it obviously consumed a lot of energy. Although Baron Acore was injured as a result, the consumption of his fighting spirit was not much. His life fighting spirit can also heal his own injuries!"

"Baron Versassin...can you still hold on?!"

This is also the question of all spectators, because the situation on the field has now been reversed!

It was the first time that people saw such a crazy Akori.

He was like a mad beast, without any of the reserve and elegance that a noble should have, and he used almost every part of his body as a weapon!
Head, fists, elbows, knees, feet, and if he wasn't wearing a helmet, there was no doubt that he would use his teeth.

Visasi was gritting his teeth and parrying. There was no other thought in his mind. He just followed Akori's rhythm instinctively. When the opponent drew his sword, he blocked; when the opponent raised his elbow, he punched; when the opponent kneed him, he kicked!

In the fierce fight, fighting spirits collided, air blades flew everywhere, and holes were torn in the ground. Even the walls of the spectator seats became riddled with holes!

Akrui's momentum is getting more and more fierce!
That ruthless spirit frightened everyone, and those who accidentally met his eyes would unconsciously activate their own fighting spirit, for fear that he would target them!

If he had a choice, Wesasi would never have driven Akori so crazy.

He was already beginning to feel tired, and although he tried his best to block every blow from the Wave Blade Giantsword, Akori's fists, knees, and elbows still caused his armor to begin to deform, and waves of dull pain continued to come!

It seems like he is about to be suppressed to death!
But Visasi was not standing in this arena to admit defeat.

He has tasted enough of failure!

Perhaps the outside world has long forgotten that he, as a third-level knight, was defeated by Raven, a mage, in a knight duel.

But Versacem remembered it clearly.

Every time he woke up from his dreams in the middle of the night, he would be awakened by the humiliation and unwillingness!

He wants to win the championship, not just to get revenge on Raven, but to give an explanation to his self-esteem so that he can sleep peacefully!
"what--!!!"

With a roar, Wesasi's almost dried-up fighting spirit suddenly burst out, and with a fierce slash of his sword, he forced Akori back several steps.

Taking this opportunity, he shattered the last third-level magic core on the hilt!
Akori looked around vigilantly. There was no sudden appearance of a blade, but he suddenly felt a huge suction force.

On the blade of the blade in Vissaxin's hand, the rich void fighting spirit turned into a vortex, as if to swallow up everything around it!
On the broken ground, dust and sand rose into the air and were swallowed by the vortex of fighting spirit. Akori himself was inevitably pulled by this force. Even though he stood still, he was still pulled by that force. He wanted to retreat, but he couldn't take a step!

The fighting spirit armor on his body was also pulled into the vortex, turning into star-like streams of light that were constantly being sucked into it.

"This is a third-tier combat skill, Sky Devouring!" Ingra's voice became excited: "With the assistance of a third-tier weapon, even Baron Akori, who is also a third-tier, can hardly resist it!"

"If we continue to hold on and Baron Acore's internal fighting spirit is completely devoured, he will have no choice but to admit defeat. But if he chooses to attack, all his movements will be distorted by this devouring force, and he will only be courting death!"

Versacin has seen the dawn of victory!
However, he did not see any panic in Akori's eyes, nor any regret before failure.

Akori suddenly moved, wielding the huge wave-blade sword, his target was not Wesasi, but himself!
The fighting spirit in his body faded away, and the giant sword wrapped in fighting spirit suddenly cut into his breastplate!
The breastplate was cut open with a teeth-grinding sound of metal cracking, and then torn into two halves by the suction force, flying out with a whistling sound and being swallowed by the dark vortex.

Before Visasinn could figure out what the other party was doing, Akori repeated his old trick and cut open his leg armor, leaving only a set of soft cloth armor lining.

"Baron Akori, you are trying to break free from the suction of the Sky Devouring Slash by lowering your own weight! A decisive decision!"

Wesasi also saw this, although he was not completely sure, he still slowly raised the heavy blade - he could not wait any longer!

At this moment, Akori suddenly let go, and the wave-blade giant sword also flew out of his hand.

He actually abandoned his weapon!
Then, he pulled away and flew back!

Having not yet accumulated enough strength, Wesasi had no choice but to swing his sword fiercely!

The chaotic-colored blade light whizzed out, and everything that was sucked in before burst out at this moment, the broken and twisted armor, the rubble that was crushed into gravel, each one had the killing power of a crossbow arrow!
Akori's fighting spirit was rekindled, and he punched and kicked at the same time, smashing every incoming fragment. He then aimed at the right direction and turned sideways, brushing past the chaotic sword light!

clang.

The scimitar fell to the ground and Visasi also knelt on the ground, no longer having the strength to move a finger.

He raised his head and looked at Akori who was walking slowly, his eyes full of confusion: "...Why?"

Why did I make all the preparations for this match, even spending over 6700 gold coins to buy a pseudo-level enchanted weapon, but still couldn't win! ?
Obviously, Akori was at a disadvantage several times!

"You rely too much on your scimitar."

Akori put his hands in his pockets and said calmly:
"But they forget that the power of a weapon comes from the person who uses it."
