Chapter 730 Wood: I did not accept the favor
I won't admit defeat. We haven't shown our true strength yet. This is not our limit yet!
One second they didn't take Wood seriously, but the next second they were two against one and were beaten easily. Naturally, the proud and stubborn Amazon sisters were not willing to just admit defeat.
And just like Tiona said, they have indeed not reached their true limit!
Tiona, who had been punched away by Wood before, now endured the pain in her body and got up from the ground again, and once again wielded the double-edged sword Ulga in her hand and slashed at Wood.
clang------!
The moment the swords struck each other, a wave of air swept away from the two of them, and a crisp sound echoed in the air around them.
When he received Tiona's blow, Wood, who was originally expressionless, soon showed a confused look on his face.
Because he could clearly feel that Tiona's power had actually improved a lot compared to just now!
Wood couldn't understand. Logically speaking, Tiona should not be in a worse state now than at the beginning after suffering many injuries. Why would her strength increase?
Could it be that the previous Tiona still retained a certain amount of strength?
No, Wood was much stronger than Tiona. He could tell from the previous battles that that should be Tiona's limit.
So that means that in this short period of time, Tiona's strength has been enhanced?
Breakthrough in combat? This possibility is not ruled out, but this is not a dungeon. Can you gain ability points by competing with others?
Brother Wood must have felt it, this is my skill 'Go crazy and stir up chaos'.
The effect is that my attack power will be increased accordingly based on the injury status of my body.
Wood was still speculating on the reason why Tiona became stronger, but Tiona took the initiative to reveal the answer.
Tiona thought it was too much for the two sisters to bully a newcomer Wood one on one. If they didn't even mention their ability, then even if they beat Wood, it would be a disgrace.
Crack! Click!
Tiona's strength has become stronger, and every attack she makes now is tens of times heavier than before.
But even so, facing Diona's increased strength, she was still able to steadily receive her attacks.
However, an accident soon happened. Compared to Tiona, who did not hesitate to use precious materials, the craftsmen worked tirelessly to forge the first-level weapon, the double-blade sword Ulga. The long sword in Wood's hand, It can only be regarded as a general bargain.
Even though Wood was able to withstand Tiona's heavy blows, the long knife in his hand cracked after resisting multiple heavy blows from Ulga.
This is also one of the weaknesses of Brother Wood. The quality of your weapons is too low to resist my Urga.
In particular, I also have the special ability Broken, which allows my attacks to carry a certain level of destruction and shattering properties.
The so-called characteristic abilities are also called development abilities. When an adventurer's level increases, there will sometimes be corresponding characteristics to choose from.
And Tiona’s characteristics are
Punch G: Enhance certain melee combat capabilities.
Diving G: Enhance one's own water quality.
Abnormal Resistance H: Increases resistance to various abnormal conditions.
Broken I: Gives the attack a certain destructive attribute.
Because the skill Go Mad and Incite Chaos increases the strength and has the superimposed characteristic Shatter, so under the successive attacks, the long knife of average quality in Wood's hand naturally soon became unable to withstand it.
“Are skills and development abilities the ‘favor’ bestowed by gods on adventurers?
That being the case, it seems that I can't win easily just by using martial arts.
As Wood spoke, the hand holding the handle of the knife suddenly burst out with a powerful aura, and then the originally silver-white blade seemed to be plated under the surprised eyes of Tiona and others. The black metal outer layer flashes with a metallic luster under the eyes.
Maybe you don't quite understand it this way, but this should be regarded as a way to use the power of breath.
Armed Haki can be used to strengthen weapons or one's own body to increase one's own defense and attack power.
Tiona revealed her skills and development abilities of turning into chaos and causing chaos. When Wood used the Haki of the armed color, he also talked about the characteristics and effects of the armed color.
When he saw the long knife that turned into a black knife in Wood's hand, Loki also looked at Hestia with an angry face and said: Poor little dwarf, didn't you say that he hasn't accepted the favor yet?
You actually teamed up to set a trap for me, and you had the nerve to call me despicable before!
Loki was furious at this moment. Although she didn't know what the so-called Armed Haki was, it was obvious that it was not something that ordinary humans could master.
And having such an ability, or skill, only shows that Wood should have accepted God's favor long ago.
Hestia's previous remarks were probably a good show written and directed by this kid, just for her to be fooled by Loki!
As the God of Mischief, she, Loki, has always been the only one who tricks others. Unexpectedly, she was tricked by others this time. How could she not be angry?
How do I put it, little brother, you are not actually a so-called new adventurer, but a senior adventurer who has already had a favor?
Compared to the angry Loki, the Amazon sisters, who now realized that Wood might have received God's favor a long time ago, reacted happily.
After all, in the battle just now, the two sisters did not have the slightest advantage in fighting, and they were even the suppressed party.
It would be okay if Wood was a hidden senior adventurer, at least they could assume that the other hidden person was of a higher level than them.
But if Wood is really a new adventurer who doesn't even have God's favor, then they will be really embarrassed.
Two senior high-level adventurers bullied a newcomer who didn't even have any favors, and they actually got beaten up.
No, Hestia is not lying. I have indeed not received any favor from the gods. Whether it is martial arts or other abilities, you may not be able to understand them, but they are indeed what I have gained through training.
Seeing Hestia looking embarrassed under Loki's questioning, Wood casually took off his shirt, revealing his eight-pack abs and strong back.
Although everyone present did not believe what Wood said, when they looked at Wood's back, they couldn't help but believe it.
Among the people present, except for the rookie Bell who looked confused and knew almost nothing.
Loki and Hestia are gods who bestow favors, and the Amazon sisters are high-level adventurers who have received favors. Naturally, they know what the empty back represents.
When gods grant favors to adventurers, their various energy values, levels, skills, development abilities, etc. will be revealed behind them.
Moreover, these ability values will be like tattoos, which cannot be erased on the adventurer's back, and are revealed in the words of God.
And Wood's back is empty now, which can only show that this man is indeed not lying. He is really an ordinary person who has not even accepted the favor of the gods.
You are obviously an ordinary person, but you have strength that rivals or even surpasses LV4 adventurers, and has special abilities that are like magic. What is going on with you...
Loki was shocked, because Wood's existence really exceeded her understanding.
Before, she only thought that Wood was an outstanding child with potential and talent, but now it seems that this guy is purely a monster!
Although I don't know what's going on with you, little brother, the battle is not over yet. I will use all my strength to defeat you!
Seeing that Wood really had not received the favor from God, this also inspired Tiona's competitive spirit even more.
I saw him clenching the Ulga in his hand and launching a fierce attack on Wood again.
However, Wood's long sword covered with Armed Haki completely blocked Tiona's Broken ability this time. Not only did he perfectly parry Tiona's every blow, he even easily suppressed the increase in strength again. of Tiona.
“The desire that is immersed in the sea of the heart, the desire that is nurtured in the sea of the heart—the destiny comes.
He lost his body, stripped off his fangs, and turned into a king snake. Through the sea, across the earth, subverting the world. Master destiny, defeat destiny, and ravage destiny! ——Instantly petrified!
Binding magic——Jormungandr!
And just as Wood held the long knife in his hand and suppressed Tiona until she was retreating, Tione, not far away, began to chant a spell quickly.
Wood was still moving quickly when a big black snake suddenly sprang out from under his feet, and while it wrapped around Wood's feet, his body immediately began to petrify!
Jormungandr, the only magic Tione masters, has a certain probability of forcibly stopping the effect object. The probability of success is related to the magic value.
Tione has never used magic power from just now, so this first time he used it, he was immediately successful.
When they saw Wood's feet turned to stone and his body instantly stopped, Tione and Tiona seized the best opportunity and rushed towards Wood at the same time, one on the left and the other on the right.
In addition to the magic Jormungandr, Tione also has skills, and the effect is somewhat similar to Tiona's Crazy Transformation.
The skill called Anger to Incite Chaos allows Tione to increase her attack power according to the degree of injury and increase the effect according to the degree of anger.
Tione had also suffered a certain degree of damage before, so her attack power was also improved like Tiona at this moment.
“Adventurers’ methods are really endless, but it would be a bit too naive to think that they can defeat me just at this level.
Magic is not exclusive to you, and I happen to know a little bit about it.
With a powerful force bursting out of his body, Wood quickly broke free from the shackles of Tione's magic. Then he looked at the Amazon sisters attacking him from left to right, and Wood's face showed a hint of fighting spirit.
The black sword covered with armor in his right hand resisted Tiona's double-edged sword. A burst of coldness shot out from his left hand. In the next second, a long sword made of condensed ice was instantly generated and resisted Tiona's double-edged sword. Kukri.
Hyakki Mitsurugi-ryu·Two-sword style-Rakshasa dance!
After the two long knives in his hands withstood the attacks of Tione and Tiona, Wood used his body as an axis, and under the astonishing gazes of the two, he used the strong sword pressure to roll them up into the air.
Then when the two of them were swept up into the sky, Wood immediately inserted the two knives in his hands into the ground in front of him, and moved his hands forward to outline a blue magic circle.
Water Saint Level Magic·Flowing Water Binding!
The magic circle was outlined in front of Wood at an extremely fast speed, and in the next second, streams of rapid water burst out from the magic circle and entangled towards the Amazon sisters in the air.
The Amazon sisters wanted to escape, but as they were floating in the air at the moment, they had no foothold. Moreover, the water flow was extremely fast, and they had no way to escape, so they were soon trapped into two big rice dumplings.
Seeing the Amazon sisters whose bodies were restrained and unable to continue fighting, Wood also turned to look at Loki and others who had been dumbfounded and said, This should count me as the winner, right?
What's going on with this kid? He's too strong!
Loki's Amazon sisters were defeated just like that!
Is this the point? Did you see it? There are no divine writings on the child's back, which means that he has never received any favor.
Without God's favor, but able to use magic and possess such strong martial arts, that child wouldn't be a treasure-level human, right?
When Wood turned to look at Loki, he was shocked to find that from unknown time on, there were already many adventurers and gods around him.
But this is actually not surprising. Tiona's shattering caused too much noise. The five minutes agreed upon for the gambling battle have long passed, and many of these gods and adventurers have actually been here long ago.
I just thought the gambling battle between Wood and Rocky was very interesting, so I kept watching the show in secret.
Now that Wood and the others have finished fighting, the gods who were interested in Wood before are naturally even more jealous now.
Just kidding, this is a newcomer who defeated two LV4 adventurers one against two before receiving the favor from the gods. He also had special abilities and magic before accepting the favor.
As long as there is no problem with their brains, any fool will know how powerful this child will be if he accepts the favor and becomes an adventurer!
If such a child becomes his dependent, and his dependent takes off, and becomes Orario's first-class dependent, wouldn't it be a matter of time?
Therefore, the god who had been attracted to Wood before was naturally even more excited to get Wood at this moment.
Seeing the wolf-like looks in the eyes of these gods, Wood suddenly appeared beside Bell and Hestia. He grabbed one of them with one hand and ran away.
Previous experiences told him that if he didn't leave now, he might not be able to leave later.
Of course, before leaving, Wood did not forget to look at Loki who looked ugly and said: Loki, don't forget the agreement on the gambling battle.
According to what I said before, you will help me deal with those gods who are pestering me, right?
As for praising Hestia in front of the gods, how about saving it for next time? (End of chapter)
