Chapter 66 Secret Skills
"drive!"

"drive!"

On the path, strong war horses were galloping at a rapid speed.

The knight on horseback had a panicked look in his eyes. He looked back from time to time, trying his best to squeeze the horse's potential to speed up.

rear.

The fog that filled the entire Black City expanded in all directions, swallowing up everything visible to the naked eye.

Fortunately, the fog did not expand too quickly, and as the riders galloped, the distance between the two became farther and farther.

"drive!"

After running over a hillside, the fog behind was no longer visible. Only then did Hal breathe a sigh of relief.

"Stanford, I win after all!"

He touched the package on his back and a smile appeared on his face.

Even if the Black City is destroyed and even if we lose the position of the City Guard Corps, as long as the things are still there, everything is worth it.

Besides...

"I have long wanted to stay in the Black City. Now that it is destroyed, it is even better. As long as I report the discovery of the Forgotten City, I believe His Highness Meivia will not blame me."

"pity!"

He gritted his teeth, and a layer of anger appeared on his face again:

"If it weren't for that guy Stanford, I would have had a chance to enter the Forgotten City."

"And that thing..."

Thinking of the scene that day, Hal's eyes narrowed and fear appeared in his eyes, and he subconsciously drove his horse away.

Black City is a closed city. Except for the caravans that come once a month, no one else will enter.

Little in and out.

The road will inevitably be difficult to travel.

Especially after the rain, the ground is full of mud, and even a strong warhorse finds it difficult to increase speed.

Unknowingly.

Hal came to a narrow mountain path.

Although there is no narrow strip of sky here, there are low hills on both sides of the road, and it is dead silent all around.

"Shh!"

The sudden sound of breaking air broke the silence.

Ok?
Hal was worthy of being the commander of the city guards and a top knight. Although he was exhausted and injured, he reacted instantly.

Draw your sword!

Swipe!

"Peng!"

A flash of light hit the sword blade and exploded on the spot.

There was not just one beam of light, but a series of them, and the target was not Hal, but the mount under his crotch.

Arcane Missiles!

"Shh!"

"Swish!"

Lights as powerful as a crossbow shot out one after another.

The narrow mountain road lacked space to hide, and even though Hal was very skilled, he could not protect himself completely.

"puff!"

A ray of light penetrated the front hooves of the mount.

“Lulu…”

The warhorse screamed in pain, lost balance and fell heavily to the side.

"Damn it!"

Hal jumped up and rushed towards the hillside roaring.

It was the man on the hillside who did this.

"Peng!"

He exerted force with his feet, and the soil on the ground exploded. Hal was like a mad leopard, fast and crazy.

The distance between the two people was rapidly closing.

Carl stood on the top of the mountain and gently clenched his fingers towards the bottom.

Witch Trap - Silt!
moment.

The ground ahead rippled like water waves, and the dirt swirled and turned into mud that could sink everything.

Witchcraft traps are a common method used by wizards, usually set up near their own manors and residences to serve as a warning and resist intruders.

Carl has just started learning.

The witchcraft traps he could learn were not very powerful, but if used well, they could often produce unexpected results.

Like now.

"Snapped!"

The location of the trap was very tricky, and Hal inevitably fell into it when he jumped up.

After landing, not only was he unable to gain leverage, his body also sank downwards, and his forward momentum came to a halt.

opportunity!

Carl's eyes lit up, and he waved his arms repeatedly while holding his breath.

Fire Seal!

……

One after another, fireballs the size of washbasins flew towards Hal who had fallen into the trap and exploded one after another.

"boom!"

"Rumble..."

All of a sudden.

The flames shot up into the sky and the explosions were deafening.

Even a top knight would be powerless in the face of such tactics and could only surrender.

"call……"

A strong wind suddenly blew into the field.

Strong winds were howling around Hal, and the incoming fireballs and flames were blown away before they could get close to him.

At this moment, he was like a demigod who controlled the storm.

With a single hand, a tornado several people tall rose out of thin air and crashed into the incoming fireball in front.

"boom!"

The flames exploded, and the fireball and tornado dissipated at the same time.

Seal - Storm!
This is the sigil engraved on Hal's body, and it is one of the reasons why his strength far exceeds that of other knights.

However, although this seal is powerful, it is difficult to sustain for a long time. Once it is used, it will be impossible to use it again in a short period of time.

"Despicable villain!"

"Peng!"

Hal exerted force with both feet, the mud under his feet broke away, and he jumped high again, rushing forward with the sword in hand:

"Go to hell!"

"Humph!"

Karl snorted coldly, first slowly drank two bottles of potion, then took a step back and raised his left hand:
"Guna!"

moment.

A suit of armor completely covered him.

A black-armored warrior emitting a cold and murderous aura all over his body also appeared in front of Hal.

"It's you?"

Hal's eyes opened and his face turned angry.

He didn't know Carl, but he knew that there was such a person who ruined his good deeds.

The secret passage in Pit No. 2 was destroyed by this man, and Barnard, Water and others also died at his hands.

Even the chaos that started from the Raqqa market and spread to the entire city was caused by him.

It also indirectly led to a shortage of city guards, and he was unable to enter the interior of the Forgotten City.

"How dare you appear in front of me?"

Hal laughed in anger:

"it is good!"

"very good!"

"Shh!"

The long sword broke through the air, the air in front of the blade was torn apart, and the sharp scream was like an explosion.

Cloud Whale Swordsmanship!

It is said that in ancient times there was a giant beast called the cloud whale, which could fly in the sea of clouds above and swim in the rivers below.

It is extremely powerful, yet as agile as a fish. The sword technique named after it is also characterized by its ruthlessness and speed.

Hal swung his sword from bottom to top, and the sword light rose against the trend, as if to tear the figure on the top of the mountain apart.

"Peng!"

The soil on the hilltop trembled.

Carl crouched slightly and rushed towards the sword light.

Secondary magic force field!

The power of 2.1 exploded unscrupulously at this moment, and the broadsword was swung, directly cutting out a residual image.

Combat skill——Fierce Wind Slash!

Nine sword shadows transformed into a sword curtain, carrying with it a terrifying force, covering the rushing Hal.

Fighting spirit!

The two men stimulated their fighting spirit at the same time, their invisible auras collided in the air, and gusts of wind burst out from the contact points.

"when……"

"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding..."

Sparks flew everywhere.

The sound of the collision was as sudden as a rainstorm.

The battle reached its climax the moment they fought, and both men swung their swords desperately to attack their opponents.

"puff……"

The broadsword scraped past the armor, tearing the armor and bringing out a streak of blood.

"Ok!"

Hal groaned and stepped back repeatedly.

"how come?"

He looked shocked and stared at Karl in amazement.

He is the best fighter in Black City and the captain of the city guards. He has never met an opponent since he arrived in Black City.

now,

But it's below!
If he hadn't had the second type of magic seal steel body on him, which increased his defense, he would have been seriously injured.

"Nothing is impossible!"

Carl kept moving, taking the eagle stance and using sword skills to slash at his opponent wildly, focusing on his powerful force and momentum.

On martial arts.

In fact, he is not as good as Hal.

On strength.

He is stronger, but the gap is not as big as imagined.

Hal's physical value should have reached two points, but it was weakened by the suppression of the secondary magic field.

and……

Hal was injured and exhausted after fleeing from the Black City, which was why he fell down.

"when!"

Fighting skill——swallow!
The sharp sword turned into a giant mouth that swallowed everything. The two men staggered past each other and staggered backwards.

Carl looked at his waist and ribs, and there was a deep mark on the armor.

"Good swordsmanship!"

After praising him, he turned and looked directly at the other person:
"pity!"

Fire Seal!

"boom!"

A ball of flame instantly wrapped around the broadsword in his hand. From a distance, Carl looked like he was holding a giant flaming sword.

Do not!
Not like!
That is a giant flaming sword.

The flames burned, and the high temperature caused the grass to wither and the earth to crack, making Hal feel like he was next to a furnace.

Carl is not immune either.

But the potion he just poured into his mouth included a bottle of fire-resistant medicine that he bought from Sibel at a high price.

The effect of the fire-resistant medicine emerges, and the body is like being immersed in a stream of water, isolating most of the heat. Even if a small amount of heat penetrates, it will not have any effect during the duration of the medicine.

"Peng!"

The soil exploded.

Carl rushed out again.

Fierce Wind Swordsmanship!

The wind was blowing wildly, the flames were dancing, and the sword shadows were falling heavily, as if even the air was ignited.

Hal was already at a disadvantage, and even though he fought back desperately, he still couldn't hold on and kept retreating.

This time.

Even if he used his exquisite fighting skills, he could not hide his declining trend and defeat was inevitable.

"Peng!"

The two swords collided, and huge force was unleashed.

"Get out of my way!"

Hal roared angrily, his eyes suddenly turned red, and dense lines appeared on his cheeks.

Ok?
Carl groaned and flew backwards.

Although he had the upper hand and was about to kill his opponent with his sword, Hal's power suddenly increased dramatically.

If Hal's value was 2 before, then now...

It is 2.3.

Even 2.4!

Even with the weakening of the secondary magic field, it is still as good as Carl's. This is totally unreasonable.

"what is this?"

"Secret skill!"

Hal gasped for breath, taking the opportunity to adjust the life force in his body:
"Every superior breathing method has a corresponding secret technique that can stimulate life force to the greatest extent."

"Your power is strong, but your inheritance is too poor to make contact at all."

He saw clearly.

Carl's strength is stronger than his, but his martial arts skills are of extremely low grade, not even outstanding at the knight squire stage.

The only reason he could defeat himself was because of his strong power and that invisible strange force field.

"Oh!"

Carl's binocular contraction:

"Every superior breathing method is available?"

The opponent's strength suddenly increased dramatically, causing him to consider retreating, so naturally he didn't mind delaying time.

This interception was made because we felt we had a chance of winning and were well prepared, but now the situation has changed.

Continue.
He might have a chance of winning by relying on the means at hand, but it was too risky and did not suit his character.

"Yes."

Hal was not in a hurry to take action, he needed to adjust:
"You probably don't know that life seeds also have different levels. The life seeds condensed by the superior breathing method contain the essence of life. Only by practicing the superior breathing method can you become a great knight or a legendary knight."

"The breathing method I practice is called the Holy Pattern Breathing Method, which is a simplification of the Hundred Aspects Furnace Breathing Method."

After a brief adjustment, his breathing gradually became steady, and the fighting spirit in his body became more concentrated:
“Only by mastering the essence of breathing techniques can one stimulate the source of life and manifest its mysteries.”

"That's the secret technique!"

"I see." Karl understood, his eyes flashing.

"You're telling me so much, are you just buying yourself some time?"

"That's right!"

Hal nodded:

"It's a pity that you are too stupid to realize it until now. Don't you think it's too late?"

"Heh..." Carl chuckled:
"It is true that villains die because they talk too much."

"In fact, I had originally planned to withdraw, but thanks to your Excellency, I got an unexpected reward."

"Superior breathing method..."

"I have it too!"

Pfft!
Pfft!
……

The heart in the body suddenly beats faster, and the pure breath of life flows to the limbs and bones along with the blood.

next moment.

"Ok!"

Carl raised his neck and his body trembled slightly.

"Crack!"

"Crackling..."

In Hal's eyes, the other person seemed to be inflated and suddenly began to grow taller and bigger.

In the blink of an eye, he turned into a three-meter-tall giant.

Iron Giant!

"Secret skills?"

Carl raised his left hand and looked at his palm.

Thanks to the automatic assembly magic of the armor on his body, as his body size increases, the armor will also increase accordingly, but it will not affect his movements.

"Need I say..."

"Thank you?"

"boom!"

The soil under his feet exploded with a loud bang, and the rocks below also showed cracks. The armored giant pounced on Hal.

The broadsword that originally needed to be held with both hands now looked like a dagger in Carl's hands.

A short sword wrapped in flames.

"Peng!"

The two swords collided.

Hal was struck and flew out like a cannonball.

If Carl were in the fragment of the divine domain and summoned the data panel, he would find that his values had undergone rapid mutation.

Constitution: 3
Compared with the previous 2.1, it has increased by 0.9!

Although he couldn't see the specific numbers, he could feel how terrifying his power was.

"It seems that what you said is not entirely right."

Carl held his left hand in the air, swung the dagger towards the opponent, and spoke:
"Different breathing methods have different effects, and the breathing method I practice is obviously better."

"puff!"

Hal vomited blood and stumbled back:

"This is impossible!"

"I told you." Carl swung his sword and chased after him. His huge figure was like an ancient giant reappearing in the world:
"Nothing is Impossible!"

Angry hack!

Cut!

……

"Peng!"

"when……"

"die!"

With a swipe of the broadsword, Hal's body was split in two from the abdomen, and his upper body flew out, splashing a large amount of blood.

Carl stood there in a daze, and it took him a moment to come back to his senses.

Won!

"call……"

As his strength was lost, his huge body began to shrink, and a feeling of weakness immediately emerged in his heart.

Although the secret skills are powerful, they are the result of squeezing out potential in a short period of time and cannot be used for a long time.

Carl calmed himself down, stepped forward and picked up the package from Hal.

The big package was divided into three small packages.

Inside one of them were two black iron sheets.

Ok?
Carl's eyes lit up.

His Giant Spirit Breathing Technique came from a similar piece of iron, but the content on it was obviously different.

Without looking closely, he put away the iron sheet and unwrapped the other two small packages.

One of them contained four fist-sized round pieces of metal, similar to coins but larger.

Another held a wooden box filled with meatballs.

Large coins?

meatball?

Carl shook his head.

These were all things that Hal had never seen before, but since he was carrying them at this time, I believed they were definitely not ordinary.

Wheatley City.

Aya and a few others stood at the "city gate", watching the people coming in and out, with different expressions on their faces.

"Big sister." Xiaonan said in a low voice:
"Is this the city of Vitelli? The legendary city of the scorching sun? The free port?"

"Yes."

Aya's voice was difficult:

“That’s right.”

"It's not as good as I thought." Lyon said:

"Besides having more people, the buildings here are not even as good as those in Black City."

There are former houses on the ground of Black City, various three-story buildings and towering towers are everywhere, but they are a bit dilapidated due to disrepair over the years.

In front of me...

All you can see are houses haphazardly made of wooden boards, areas consisting of various shacks, and narrow streets that look like a maze.

on the ground.

There were rotting rats and dead fish everywhere, urine and feces piled up randomly, and the disgusting stench could be smelled from a long distance away.

There are no stone slabs on the road, and the stepping places are all muddy. The low-lying areas have become sewage ditches where sewage is concentrated. The water in the ditches is purple and black, and there are buzzing insects flying around.

The clothes of pedestrians on the street were not good either, mostly made of linen, and many people didn't even have shoes.

It doesn't matter.

They were shoeless and had disheveled hair. They looked no different from the ordinary people in the city and did not attract anyone's attention.

“The environment is a little bit worse, but there is freedom!”

Aya spoke, and she seemed to feel that her words were not convincing enough, so she stepped forward and said:

"Maybe the environment in the city will be better. Everyone should keep an eye on the things around them. There are thieves here too."

Just now, she saw at least three pickpockets.

These people were very skilled at stealing, and when they were discovered, someone stepped forward to give them time to escape.

Obviously organized thieves!
"Miss."

Xiaonan took a step forward:
"What do we do next?"

"Let's find a place to stay first." Aya looked around:
"Investigate the environment here while ensuring safety, and then... wait for the uncle to come."

"What if the uncle doesn't come?" Leon asked.

Several people fell silent.

"It's ok."

Aya took a deep breath and smiled brightly:

“When Uncle Karl didn’t come, we lived differently in Black City, and it’s the same now.”

"No!"

She shook her head gently:
"Now Xiaonan is already a knight's squire, and you, Leon, have a seal, and we also have things we brought from the Black City."

"At least it's not difficult to survive."

"Ah."

Several people nodded.

If Carl is the backbone of their small team, then Aya is their pillar.

After losing Carl, they may feel confused about the future and lack a certain sense of security.

If I lose Aya,

The team will cease to exist!

As long as Aya is still there, they can unite as one and have the confidence to move forward step by step together.

…………

A tall tower in the city.

A burly figure stood on the top of the tower, opened his arms and embraced the figure coming from the distance.

"Welcome to the city of Vitelli!"
