Thales still remembers his first meeting with the Faller.

Six years ago, the prince had clearly seen Nicolai's appearance in the hell sense: a silver human figure emitting a needle-like light. The power of termination flickered in the man's body, pulling the opponent's castration and direction at any time.

, bringing about erratic movements and body shapes.

At that time, Thales, who had taken advantage of the Sin of the Hell River, even if he tried to break his head, even if he took into account all the changes in the opponent's speed, trajectory and direction, he still sadly found that he was too weak to avoid Nicolai's attack, even if the opponent was bare-handed.

.

And now, six years later...

"boom!"

Nicolai's heavy punch arrived instantly, hitting Thales' shield hard.

Under the heavy sound, Thales was shaken all over!

But he gritted his teeth, stepped on his hind legs, and withstood the blow.

In the hell sense, the silver human figure in front of Thales flickered.

The prince immediately tensed up his nerves.

As expected, the second wave of meteor attackers' left fists struck right in front of them without any pause!

Thales prepared to retreat as usual.

But at that moment, Huaiya's words while training in the courtyard passed by his ears:

Your Highness, you can't always retreat or resist: This is how Karabiyan and I fought with that big guy in the Palace of Heroes. We were too afraid of the Rising Sun Saber's attack and blindly avoided the battle, but ultimately failed. Defense is not about giving up, but for the next attack.

Prepare for an attack.

Huniko Lai's fist made a terrifying sound!

Thales took a deep breath.

The next moment, he faced the opponent's fist with an awe-inspiring expression, took a step forward, and launched a side attack from the Northland military swordsmanship!

The sword edge forced Nicolai's offensive to stall.

But the Meteorite's adaptability was beyond his imagination: while the opponent was avoiding the sword's edge, he also used his left hand to slash his sword-holding right wrist!

With the help of the hell sense, Thales watched the movements of this extreme master and admired in his heart: Sure enough, the defense does not just retreat.

Take Nicolai for example. Every time he defends, he takes an aggressive next step. Even if he is retreating to dodge, the opponent's intention is never to avoid damage, but to cause damage.

Thinking of this, Thales gritted his teeth and moved forward again, pushed out the shield, and hit the opponent's left arm!

The third defensive and counterattack style of Northland military swordsmanship.

Waving the shield is called defense, but it is for the next counterattack!

"boom!"

Under the collision, the muffled sound spread again.

His left hand was slightly numb and his whole body was shaking, but Thales roared and tried his best to thrust out a counterattack sword!

But Nicolai's movements were faster and weirder than expected.

I saw his left arm resting on the shield, but he rushed forward without any pause. A powerful and heavy knee strike hit the center of the shield!

"boom!"

Thales just felt like his breath was suffocating!

The next second, he groaned in pain and fell two meters away with his shield.

"Very good." Nicolai, who was bare-handed, kept his expression unchanged, pinched the joints of his hands, and wrinkled his eyebrows imperceptibly.

"This is your best performance among all the training sessions."

The Fallen Starman slowly approached and showed a malicious smile: "At least I have some sense of fighting. I am no longer a blind man wielding a sword and a coward raising a shield."

Thales climbed up with difficulty, shook his numb left hand, picked up the shield again, and said with a wry smile: "It's your kind of ending power that suddenly changes direction..."

"Again?"

The meteorite shook his head, as if he didn't want to waste time:

"Hurry up and finish. I also want to have lunch."

Thales took a deep breath, held back the pain, and resumed the "Response to the Enemy" posture.

Northern military swordsmanship.

He suddenly remembered what Gilbert told him when he first learned swordsmanship: This set of swordsmanship was created to fight against...terrible opponents far beyond human beings...huge disadvantages...desperate battles...defeat to death.

...a suicidal charge...

He looked at Nikolai who was getting closer and closer in front of him, and sighed secretly in his heart: A... terrible opponent that is far beyond human beings?

No, it's more than that.

The back of another mysterious man appeared in Thales' mind: How did humans defeat the ancient orcs at an absolute disadvantage? How did they win the final battle?

The truly strong... seek hope in desperate situations, gain reversal from losses, sublimate good times into victory, and turn mishaps and accidents into their own help...

... Seize all useful and useless factors, hold on to every possible bargaining chip, and make the most critical move, thus changing the entire battle...

Thales took two deep breaths and tried his best to shake his head, which was a little dizzy from the fall.

My chips, my chance to win...

There is.

only……

Only one time.

The next second, Thales roared and rushed towards his opponent again!

Thrust out the sword!

Nicolai knew him too well.

During every outdoor training session, Fallen Starman wore a confident smile and knocked him down in various ways.

During every surprise inspection, the Fallen Starman relied on his own skills to toy with him to applause.

Every time he was tempted and provoked, Fallen Starman was fully prepared to test the level of his entourage.

so……

Thales's pupils shrank.

So this is the biggest weakness of the Fallen Star!

He is too "familiar" with himself.

"come!"

Thales' face was distorted and he clenched his teeth, roaring with his mouth and calling in his heart.

Come, my companion.

The crime of the prison river!

The familiar waves surged forward, and after six years of experience, they spread throughout the body instantly in a faster, more stable and smoother way.

"here we go again?"

Looking at Thales rushing towards him, Nicolai sneered repeatedly: "Same method, same ending."

The Fallen Starman exerted his strength on his feet and rushed towards Thales.

He easily dodged Thales' thrust and punched the prince in the face!

The fist wind howled.

Thales was trembling all over and waved his shield to counterattack again.

Punch your opponent's fist.

But this time, it's different.

This time, I need strength.

strength!

The young man thought coldly.

The sins of Hell River surged up his arms with excitement.

Shield and Iron Fist collide again!

"boom!"

Nicolai's sneer remained: "As I said, little prince..."

But just tenths of a second later, his laughter stopped abruptly.

Because an unprecedented force is coming from the opposite shield!
