After discussing some details with Test, Annuo returned to the competition hall and began to prepare for the final match.
There were exactly twenty contestants, competing for the top ten spots.
Annuo's draw result was number 5.
He and another player who drew number 5 will play after number 4 finishes their competition.
In the first match, Kim Ernest, a red-haired dwarf hammer warrior, VS Shaya, a member of the Ghost Hand Mercenary Group (the fourth-ranked mercenary group in the royal city) and the shadow thief.
"Jin~mu~~~, let's show the other side how powerful the dwarves of the Ernest family are... Hey, vendor, please give me a plate of barbecue."
After the competition started, Yinm carried a short axe on his back and stood in the competition area with a plate of barbecue, eating while cheering for his brother.
"Stupid brother!"
Kim cursed in Yinm's direction, then turned around and looked at Shaya with the hammer in hand.
Kim's beard was tied into a braid and hung down to his chest. He was about 1.1 meters tall.
They are already extremely tall among the dwarves - the height of an adult dwarf is between 0.9 and 1.2 meters.
Dwarves are not tall, but they are strong and just as strong as humans.
The hammer in Kim's hand is a magic weapon made for him by the elders in his family, with intricate magic patterns engraved on it.
One end of the hammer is in the shape of a cone, and the lines converge at the top of the cone.
As long as enough magic power is infused, if the pointed end encounters a certain amount of resistance, it can cause an explosion of considerable power.
This is also the origin of the title of Hammer Warrior.
As for Shaya, she was a slim woman wrapped in a black tights with only her eyes exposed.
The devilish figure with curves in all the right places is extremely sexy under the restraint of the tights.
But Kim was unmoved.
The moment the referee announced the start of the match, Kim dragged the hammer and approached Shaya quickly with his short legs.
Swish, swish, swish!
Saya swung her arm, and several darts left afterimages in the air and flew towards Kim.
As a thief, confronting Kim head-on is not a wise option.
"A trifle!"
Kim snorted coldly, raised the sledgehammer and smashed it hard into the air in front of him.
Bang!
The pointed end collides with the flying dart, immediately releasing an explosion.
The one-meter area in front of Kim was covered in flames.
Several other darts flew into the flames and disappeared without a trace.
Huh~!
Kim swung the hammer and looked forward.
"Tsk~, it's gone!"
Kim looked at the empty ring, smacked his lips, and then became alert to the movements around him.
As a thief, Shaya had taken advantage of the previous gap to enter stealth mode.
"Hey, Monkey, do you think my idiot brother will win?"
In the audience, the contestants who were about to participate in the competition sat together. Yinmu asked Sun beside her while eating.
Sun had previously become friends with Constance of the dwarf tribe.
Therefore, the dwarf brothers are relatively friendly towards Sun.
When Sun heard Yin Mu's question, he thought for a while and said, "Shaya's strength lies in her high agility and sensitivity, which enables her to perform strange movements.
This allows her to quickly relocate after launching an attack and attack again from another angle.
In this way, her opponent would be like facing attacks from several people at the same time.
Kim's strength is strength, so it's difficult for her to deal with this kind of enemy.
But if Kim finds an opportunity to launch a strong attack on Shaya, then the latter will also be very likely to lose!"
These words were summarized by Sun based on Kim and Shaya's previous attack methods.
Warriors like Kim are good at frontal attacks, and it is not easy for them to fight against a flexible thief like Shaya.
"It means the chances of winning are slim!"
Yinm wiped the oil from the corners of his mouth with the back of his hand, pinched his waist with one hand, and said excitedly: "Sure enough, expanding the reputation of the Ernest family still depends on me, the fire axe warrior! Explosive hammering won't work! Hahahaha..."
Several contestants, including An Nuo, couldn't help laughing when they heard Yin Mu's words.
I cheered for Kim before.
Now hearing that his brother might not be a match for Shaya, he actually laughed out loud with joy.
This Yinmu is also a talent.
On stage, Kim has already had several confrontations with Shaya.
There were still several daggers stuck in Kim's leather shoulder guard, and the wounds were still bleeding.
"Oh no, the dagger is poisoned and has a paralyzing effect!"
Swinging a sledgehammer that was taller than himself, Kim suddenly felt his shoulders go numb and he couldn't exert any strength.
Boom!
Kim put the sledgehammer beside him and half-knelt on the ring, breathing heavily, sweat oozing from his forehead.
When Saya, who was in [Stealth] state, saw Kim's appearance, she knew that Kim had been tricked.
"If we wait just two or three more minutes, his entire body will be paralyzed. Then we can easily win the game!"
Shaya felt relieved.
In order to hit Kim with the poisoned dagger, Shaya's previous attack was a little hasty, and she was fooled by Kim and was almost hit by the hammer.
This time, she would never come out on her own until Kim fell.
"This woman, is she planning to wait until I lose my fighting ability before coming out?"
Seeing that Shaya had no intention of doing anything, Kim, who was holding the hammer, stood up again unsteadily.
"I was planning to use this move in the finals, but I didn't expect it to be exposed now!"
Kim raised the hammer high, veins bulged on his forehead, and the remaining magic power in his body rushed into the hammer frantically.
The magic patterns on the hammer kept flashing, and terrifying magic power gathered on this magical equipment.
The power it exudes completely exceeds the limits of fourth-level combat skills or magic!
The power of this attack is comparable to a fifth-level combat skill!
"not good!"
Seeing this scene, Shaya quickly moved away from Kim and retreated to the edge of the ring.
"[Hammer Sparks]"
Kim roared, jumped up suddenly, and smashed towards the center of the ring with a diameter of 100 meters.
when!
The tip of the hammer smashed a hole in the ring.
boom!
The next moment, violent magic power swept around with the impact point as the center.
The stone slabs on the ring collapsed and broke quickly.
The scorching flames spread across the entire arena!
"ah!"
Even though she had moved away to the edge in advance, Shaya was unable to avoid the attack and was blown out of the ring by the shock wave.
While in mid-air, Shaya attracted the attention of a group of professionals.
The back of the tights had been burned by the flames, revealing large areas of skin.
whoosh!
A dark shadow rushed out from the audience, hugged the falling Shaya, and wrapped her with his clothes.
"It's Daniel from the Ghost Claw Mercenary Group, a level 30 hunter, and also a participant this time."
Someone recognized the identity of the black shadow.
Daniel bowed to the referee, signaling Shaya to admit defeat, and then took her to the priest next to the ring for treatment.
“Ah~~~”
A groan suddenly came from above the ring, coming from far away.
Then everyone saw a black shadow hit the stage with a 'bang'.
The referee immediately took action and dug out Kim who was embedded in the ring.
With a bruised face and sparks in her eyes, Kim's injuries seemed to be more serious than Saya's.
He didn't know where Saya was hiding. In order to affect Saya, Kim input far more magic power this time than any previous time.
He himself didn't expect it to be so powerful.
After the explosion of [Heavy Hammer Fireworks], he was blasted vertically into the sky.
However, according to the rules of the ring competition.
Kim won this round - although he lost his fighting ability, Shaya had been knocked out of the ring by him!
The priest next to her quickly used holy light magic to heal Kim.
Kim woke up soon enough.
Then he saw his brother holding a roasted leg of lamb, pointing at him and laughing excitedly to An Nuo, Sun and others around him: "So, I said my brother is okay. But he is so stupid that he was hurt by his own skills. It's such a disgrace to our Ernest family!"
"Gin~mu~!!!"
Seeing that his brother was making fun of him, Kim jumped up from the ring and prepared to beat his brother with a hammer.
However, he looked around but couldn't find his hammer.
"Where's my hammer?"
…
In a tavern next to the martial arts hall.
The shop owner watched in fear as the guards pulled the "Heavenly Hammer" out of the floor, and took the compensation from the soldiers with trembling hands.
After the soldier left with the hammer, the shop owner looked up at the big hole upstairs, collapsed on the ground, and gasped for breath.
Life is so fucking exciting!
Now people are watching in the guild hall, and the pub is temporarily out of business.
The shop owner was taking a nap at the front desk.
Sudden!
A flaming object flew from a distance and crashed directly from the roof of the third floor of the tavern to the first floor!
Fortunately, the shop owner is lucky.
If this gets hit, it will be turned into a meat paste.
