[Chapter 48 Blood Lock Holy Light Fighter]
At first, Sharon had no intuitive understanding of the Holy Light protection on David, and thought it might be a layer of energy protection.
But soon, she found that David’s fighting style was simply cheating!
After David used the Holy Light to protect his whole body, he did not consider the issue of defense at all. He did not react to Sharon’s punches and kicks, and completely ignored Sharon’s attacks, as if he was using a lose-lose fighting style – no matter how you attack me, I will take it hard.
In this case, David is like an emotionless attack machine, and he does not need to consider how to defend, parry, and dodge the opponent’s attack.
As for why he chose the moves in the King of Fighters? Because David’s fighting skills have not yet reached the level where he can threaten the opponent by attacking at will; and before his own experience reaches a certain level, directly applying the ready-made “template” is the most reliable choice.
He chose the moves from King of Fighters because it was a fighting game he played many times in his previous life, so he remembered the moves clearly. Another reason was to match the Holy Fire. He thought about it and found that the unarmed attack moves that could match the fire were those in King of Fighters. After
taking another punch from Sharon, David swung his right fist wrapped in the Holy Fire at Sharon. He used the 124th Move: Wild Bite and then the 128th Move: Nine Wounds. After discovering that Sharon had distanced herself from David in order to avoid the two attacks with the Holy Fire, he used the 125th Move: Nanase. He swept his heavy leg with a golden glow and kicked Sharon, who was dodging continuously and had an unstable center of gravity, to the ground.
The ground of Winter Village still retains its most primitive appearance. Although the village is surrounded by large grasslands, the field where David and Sharon competed has no weeds at all, just a bare piece of land.
So Sharon, who was kicked to the ground and rolled twice before getting up, was inevitably covered in dust, which made her look a little embarrassed.
“Oh~”
Unexpectedly, Sharon was at a disadvantage after the start of the competition. The people who were originally watching the excitement became more interested, while people like Steve and Fording each had other concerns.
For example, what spell did David use?
“It is the Holy Light Shield most commonly used by priests, which can weaken or even offset the enemy’s attack.” Fording answered Steve’s question very straightforwardly, without any intention of hiding anything: “But priests usually use this spell to protect themselves when they are attacked, not like David, and the protective effect is not as good as the spell David used.” Priests usually
use spells to attack from a distance, and only use this spell when they are approached by the enemy; David’s use is more like a paladin, using the Holy Shield to attack powerful people. But the Holy Shield of the Paladin does not last long, and it cannot be used continuously.
In addition, Fording did not ignore the abnormality of David’s hands and feet. It seems that David covered more holy light on the parts he used to attack.
“Is it to offset the impact? It doesn’t seem to be that simple, and David’s punches and kicks seem to be heavier than expected.”
In addition, Fording didn’t expect David to use an attack spell like Holy Fire to fight. He was very curious about what other strange tricks David had?
“Devotion!”
David didn’t use any strange tricks this time, but used the skills commonly used by paladins to infuse the power of holy light into the ground under his feet, making the land full of holy power. Before the holy light infused into the land is consumed, it will continue to cause damage to the enemies standing in this area.
This trick is used to deal with the range attack of multiple enemies, and it is used to interfere and contain in one-on-one situations.
Sharon is now having a headache. She feels like she is in a strange quagmire. The power surrounds and burns her from all directions, making it impossible for her to focus on David in front of her.
And her attacks on David seem to have no effect. Even if a solid punch hits the opponent’s face, David still maintains the original attack action without feeling anything, and is not affected at all.
What the hell is this! Sharon suspected that she had not felt so aggrieved when fighting against robots. How could anyone be attacked by the other party without being affected?
She wanted to stop the fight, but she had clearly expressed that she wanted to compete and see the so-called holy light. Now she asked to stop, would it make her look useless? Especially since her parents were watching, she did not want her parents to be disappointed in her, even if they were from a parallel world.
There was another round of fierce attacks, and the situation remained unchanged. David still maintained a non-defensive style of play, and his attacks were always accompanied by flames, which made Sharon, who had a better physical fitness, look extremely embarrassed.
Even Sharon could withstand David’s punches and kicks, but she could not withstand the flames. Facing such attacks, she not only had to dodge, but also had to make more evasive movements than when fighting with ordinary people to avoid being touched by the flames.
Being touched by a fist would at most cause some skin injuries, but being touched by the flames…
After only two minutes of fighting, everyone could see that although Sharon was not really hurt, she really had no good way to face David, who was like a tortoise shell. If she continued like this, David would seize the opportunity to knock her down completely if she was not careful.
Others may not know, but Laura remembered that David had not used the move ‘Big Snake Nagisa’, but that move was too powerful, and this was just a competition, David should not use it, right?
Just when everyone thought that the two would fight for a long time, David, who had always maintained an offensive posture, suddenly stopped attacking and distanced himself from Sharon: “That’s it, I lose.”
“?”
Sharon saw David suddenly distance himself from her, and thought that he was going to release some powerful attack spells, so she was on full alert, but she never expected to hear such a sentence.
“Maintaining the Holy Light Shield all the time, and releasing the Holy Fire every time you attack, will consume a lot of Holy Light. Now there is very little Holy Light left in my body, and I can no longer maintain the shield and use the Holy Fire.”
David spread his hands, and his meaning was very clear. If he continued to fight, he would only be beaten by Sharon.
Sharon understood what David meant, and took a closer look, and found that the light on the other party began to gradually disappear, and the fire on his hand had disappeared while he was talking.
“So that’s how it is, but you didn’t lose. I should have lost this competition.” Sharon looked at the weapon and shield that she had thrown aside, even though it was only a wooden weapon: “I lost when I first put down my weapon and shield and made the mistake of underestimating the enemy.”
Sharon Rogers was, after all, someone who could become Captain America. She wouldn’t dare to admit even such a small failure. She took a deep breath. Although she lost, she felt inexplicably relieved: “Thank you for competing with me.”
“Ah, you’re welcome.” David stretched out his hand and shook hands with Sharon. When the other’s delicate palm was in his palm, a force suddenly came, but it disappeared in an instant.
Sharon in front of him showed a smile of “as expected”, and said quickly in a low voice: “Thank you for your care, I won’t need it next time.”
“…” David wanted to say “next time?”, but he finally held back and didn’t speak, because he felt that he seemed to have received a reward.
Since there is a reward to be taken, of course he can continue, but I don’t know what this second-generation Captain America gave?
David guessed that since he could feel it, it should be some kind of talent or ability, not like the reward Mark had to find near the village; nor would it be the spiritual will improvement given by Steve, because his holy light did not respond.
“Improvement of physical fitness? Talent in fighting?”
It seems that these are related to Captain America, right? Either way, it is a good reward for me now.
David was in a good mood, and he liked Sharon more.
Turning his head slightly, he saw that the people who were watching the show handed notes to Fording one after another. David immediately realized what was going on: “You actually bet on me?”
So angry! What’s even more angry is that except for the two children Alfie and Conn, the rest, including Laura, actually bet on him to lose!
“Of all you guys, only Tirion bet on me to win?”
“Tirion has no choice but to bet on you to win.” Laura stabbed David in the heart again: “Everyone thinks you will definitely lose, so they can only drag Tirion, who originally didn’t want to participate.”
Meaning that if Fording is not forced to bet on him to win, he can’t even get the game together.
“But what are you betting on?”
“An IOU, you can ask the other party to do you a small favor or something.” In the current situation of Winter Village, it is meaningless to gamble for money, and you don’t know what to bet on for a while, so you might as well bet on a small favor.
Seeing that the competition is over, everyone dispersed and continued to do their own things. Only Laura was still chatting with David: “I didn’t expect that you could suppress Sharon.”
“Because Sharon knows nothing about the Holy Light!” David didn’t say this deliberately to show off, but just stated a fact. The asymmetry of intelligence information is the key factor that David can suppress Sharon, who is much better than him: “And Sharon seems to be better at using weapons to fight.”
“I know you are good.” Laura stayed here to chat with David for a reason: “Let’s talk about business. I’m ready to leave. I won’t stay here often in the next period of time.”
“Ready to leave?”
“Yes.”
“I wish you all the best on your trip!” David didn’t have any feelings of parting. Laura said she was going on an adventure, but going on an adventure didn’t affect her coming to Winter Village. After all, she also transported a lot of things to Winter Village, which made it convenient for her to replenish supplies and replace suitable equipment and tools anytime and anywhere.
With the Holy Light she just mastered, it can be predicted that Laura’s enemies this time will be even more miserable than in the original plot!
