Chapter 652 This is [Warrior]
——I noticed it.
“…I was dreaming.”
Like thunder in a rainstorm, Haina shuddered and suddenly woke up from her dream.
She was standing in the dark bushes at this moment, and the air was filled with a sticky and bloody smell - that was the smell of blood.
Haina still clearly remembers this bloody rain.
On the day Her Majesty Queen Isabel was attacked, a similar bloody rain fell on Glass Island.
And at this moment, she suddenly felt a wave of tremors.
It was as if someone had quietly pulled out a gun from behind her and pointed it at her back - the strong sense of danger made her instantly sober and alert.
Haina turned around and looked in the direction where the danger came from.
The next moment, she saw thunder falling like rain.
I saw a lizard man with a hideous and terrifying face, who turned into thunder, holding a halberd, charging towards the giant whose body was burning with flames!
Haina happened to recognize the halberd in his hand - or rather, she had even held it in her own hands before.
That was the natural weapon used by the Punisher Demon, a long spear that could attract heavenly thunder when raised above the head!
It caught Haina's attention instantly.
But the next moment, Haina's attention was completely attracted by the lizard man's martial arts!
It was a set of extremely smooth, coherent strikes that were both powerful and beautiful!
The giant, as terrifying as the devil of purgatory, retreated again and again under his attack.
"Is this... Lightning Strike? And a Massive Blast?"
Haina vaguely understood one or two moves from the lizardman's swing of his weapon.
That was a fighting skill she had mastered after years of hard practice - and until now, she had not even had the opportunity to use it many times.
This move originally required charging, but the lizardman had a remarkable technique, integrating the charging process into the execution of other combat techniques. Lightning Strike also required a special stance and a certain level of attack speed... but he used the finishing stroke of another move to perfectly meet this requirement.
Yes...it can't be wrong.
——That is the skill of "combo"!
When Haina was in school, she heard about this extraordinary skill from her teacher.
This is a unique combat technique of those agile and extraordinary people like assassins and monks - by linking together a variety of different moves in a special combination and connection, it greatly reduces the need to use combat skills and bursts out more powerful power in a shorter period of time!
However, it is reasonable for a transcendent who uses daggers and bare hands to learn combo skills. After all, these weapons are light and short, the moves are quite similar, and they are easy to control.
...But this lizardman could actually use the heavy and deformed long-handled weapon "Halberd" so easily to launch a series of violent attacks as continuous as flowing water and as endless as a storm!
It didn't look like killing, but more like dancing—not a gentle dance, but a dance full of power and vitality, praising the sun!
Without blinking, Haina greedily watched how the tiny figure annihilated the gigantic demon god. She hoped that she could memorize these moves in her heart and not forget them even after leaving the dream...
But at this moment.
A voice that was extremely familiar to her—so familiar that it startled her—suddenly rang out from beside her.
"Young Arbitrator...
"Do you want to...become a Warrior?"
Although the voice was deliberately blurred, as if it came from the depths of an echoing corridor, and it even carried the faint sound of wind and thunder...
But Haina heard it clearly.
——That was definitely the voice of Minister without Portfolio Edwards!
"Who are you?"
She shouted in surprise but not panic.
Although she suddenly heard a familiar voice, she was not very surprised - after all, she was dreaming.
She didn't know why she suddenly woke up...but since she was in a dream, it wasn't surprising to hear a familiar voice.
"I am [Xingchen]."
Aiwass's voice became clearer. Even the hollow and vague echo disappeared, as if Aiwass was standing next to him and speaking.
In an instant, she saw an empty white robe emerge in front of her.
There was nothing inside the white robe, yet it looked as if someone was wearing it. Inside the hood was only a dark mist.
But looking at the vague figure outlined in the white robe, Haina felt that it looked more and more like Minister Aiwass...
But at this moment, she shuddered - an extremely sacred and great feeling came from the sky, making her feel inexplicably awed in an instant.
Without any basis or information, she suddenly knew in her heart that the man in white robe who called himself "Star" was the incarnation, apostle or something else of the Lord of Scales and Feathers.
"The way of the 'warrior' was once buried in history."
The white-robed man spoke, and a clear, young voice echoed beside her ears: "It once belonged to the Pillar God of the Path of Power, Supreme Heaven."
The white robe slowly "walked" forward - as it paced forward, the lizardman warrior happened to kill the huge demon that was burning with fire!
The rushing lightning and flames surged like waves, stripping away the empty white robe and revealing a vague, illusory human figure.
A straight back, waist-length hair, broad and powerful shoulders, and arms that naturally opened to the sides as he walked slowly, as if to embrace someone in front of him.
Haina was distracted for a moment, then suddenly came to her senses.
...Wait, the High Heaven?
She shuddered, fear in her eyes - she did know the secret, but it was a secret that could not be told in Avalon!
However, the transparent soul in a white robe, reminiscent of Aiwass, continued to move forward. "He was once the patron of the giants. They were a race of cannibals who had lived on the island of Avalon for two thousand years. Whether humans, dwarves, lizardmen, or elves, they were all on the giants' menu.
"—It wasn't until five hundred years ago, when the Silver Crown Dragon led the gods to defeat the High Heavens, that the giant kingdom collapsed and was defeated by the Knights of the Round Table. Thus, the present-day Avalon came into being.
"Before the destruction of the Giant Kingdom, there was once the most widely employed extraordinary profession in the world...
"They are the most basic transcendents, and they are also the original transcendent profession.
"War is its ultimate goal, and combat is its primary duty. Anyone who actively or passively uses force can embrace it. No books, no teachings, no mentors, and no materials are needed. Even a country bumpkin can take up the profession—as long as he possesses the courage to face battle."
"Facing danger, savoring suffering, and singing the praises of hope—adapting to hardships and dangers, inspiring the primitive power of life, and awakening the animal's instinct for survival...
"The purpose of fighting is precisely to survive. To survive, one must change oneself, adapt to the environment, master violence, and thereby gain the ability to harm others or prevent being harmed by others..."
The man in white robe suddenly stopped.
He finally said:
"—This is the Warrior."
Haina looked up and found that she had walked out of the forest without knowing when.
At this moment, she was standing on the cliff, overlooking the land in the distance.
The continuous shouts of war and fighting rang out, as loud as thunder.
It was a brutal war between a group of lizardmen and a group of winged race.
Countless warriors are fighting.
