Wearing black silk for a foreign woman

Chapter 34: Renewing the Father-Son Relationship

Lind recognized the sneak attack. The principle of unrestricted fighting was to never fight head-on if you could launch a sneak attack, never fight in a group if you could, and never fight with your bare hands if you could use equipment.

But Lind does not admit to being despicable.

Why do I learn unlimited fighting? It is to protect myself and knock down my opponent when necessary. Winning is my martial arts. Martial arts ethics are to be demonstrated after winning, not to be stubborn and quibbling after being knocked down by a few punches.

However, Lind still needs to reflect on himself. If he had used a sword instead of kicking, would the fight have ended?

After all, we lived in a peaceful era before crossing over, so we should be sensible when fighting. To get started with unlimited fighting techniques, you should first learn the rules, and then learn martial arts. For example, in self-defense, you don't attack first, and then only hit once, and don't chase. This is definitely self-defense.

Because you can only hit once, you have to hit the opponent's vital points and you have to cripple or kill him in one go.

Having said that, in practice, Lind still prefers to kick the crotch. After all, most of the cases he encounters are medical troubles, and stabbing someone to death in one go will have a bad impact. Even so, every time the medical department sees him, they have a constipated expression on their face.

The power of habit is strong. I should have used the sword just now, which would have ended the fight immediately.

Although Zexi looked in pain after the kick, he did not fall down. His face turned red and he glared at Linde angrily.

After adjusting his mentality, Linde swung his dagger, screamed "Wow!", and rushed towards Zexi.

Lind didn't know magic, but there were some common principles for dealing with magicians, such as close combat as much as possible. The use of magic required the magician to chant spells, and even if it was silent after becoming proficient, it still required concentration.

Therefore, the best way to deal with a magician is to fight in close combat and not give the opponent a chance to use magic. This is what his father Kong Nan taught Linde when he was training as a knight's squire.

"Waaaaagh!" Lind howled and rushed towards Zexi, who twisted his face, lifted his robe, and drew a knight's sword from his waist.

Lin De was shocked. Could it be that the other party was practicing both magic and martial arts?

Zekesi drew out the knight sword, and then a black shadow emerged from Zekesi's body and formed a human figure in front of the body.

The black shadow held the knight's sword that Zexi had just pulled out in his hand, swung the sword, blocked Lind's dagger, and then turned suddenly with the contact point of the two swords as the center of the circle, pressing Lind's dagger down while the sword tip was raised to cut towards Lind's chest.

"!" Linde was horrified and dodged violently, but the sword only scratched his clothes.

"Good reaction." Zekexi sneered. "But how long can you last?"

Lind gasped and stared at the sword-wielding figure in amazement.

"Substitute!?" Lind shouted subconsciously.

"You have some knowledge, kid." Zexi sneered complacently. "This is Shadow Double. You can recognize him, so you have some knowledge."

Of course, Lind didn't know what a shadow stand was. What Lind was talking about was a stand in the representative work of a certain ultimate creature.

This is some kind of magic. It can be used to block part of the attack when kicking the crotch. And Linde is very familiar with that action just now.

A sense of throbbing surged in Linde's heart.

"Waaaaagh!" Lind roared and rushed towards Zexi again.

The dagger and the knight's sword collided again. Unlike before, Lind fought very carefully this time and did not rush forward rashly.

It was obvious that Zekesi's shadow stand was much stronger than Lind's, and with the advantages of weapons and size, he quickly suppressed Lind.

"Boy, I admit that you are quite strong." Zexi stood behind the shadow, his expression slightly distorted by the severe pain in his crotch. "For your age, you have been able to fight for so long, which means you are quite good at fighting."

"In time, your future will be bright, but unfortunately..." Zekesi waved his hand. "You will die here!"

"In order to let you die with a clear conscience, I will mercifully tell you the identity of your opponent." Zexi raised his head and said proudly. "This shadow double is none other than one of the most powerful knights in the Holy Empire! The invincible Kong Nan! You can feel honored to die at his hands!"

After giving the order to kill the shadow stand-in, the shadow stand-in immediately raised the sword in his hand above his head and rushed towards Lind in one step.

Shadow's sword spun like a windmill and slashed at Lind from the side. This was the knight's most commonly used sword technique, the windmill.

Facing the knight's sword swinging at him, Lind smiled.

Then, after a sharp sound of sword friction, Lind flew backwards, and a big gash was opened on Shadow's waist.

"What!?" Seeing this, Zexi opened his mouth in surprise.

"The strongest knight in the Holy Empire? That's a thing of the past." Lind was not hit by the sword, but was blocked by his sword at the last moment. "Kong Nan is dead."

"What did you say!? Kong Nan is dead!?" Zexi asked in surprise.

"Yes, just two months ago." Linde said proudly. "Guess who caused the death of Kong Nan who never falls off his horse?"

"That's me." Linde sneered.

Meanwhile, on the battlefield between Katie and Cyclops.

"Hah!" Katie swung the axe and chopped at the Cyclops' calf.

It’s not that Katie likes pedicures. According to Katie’s original character, she likes to fight head-on even if there is a gap in strength between the two sides. But this time, Linde repeatedly warned her not to fight the enemy head-on and to be flexible. He didn’t want to sew such a big wound for Katie again.

An enemy of such a huge size must not be flexible enough in movement, so when dealing with the Cyclops you must not fight head-on, but must move around flexibly.

Although Katie, who is two meters tall, cannot be said to be very agile in her movements, it depends on who she is compared with. At least compared with the huge Cyclops, Katie is agile.

The axe didn't cause a big wound, nor did it draw much blood. One reason was that Katie's weapon was too simple, it was a rough iron axe. The other reason was that the physical strength of the Cyclops was also amazing, after all, he could support a huge body that was more than three meters tall.

After this axe strike, the Cyclops howled in pain, bent down, swung his hand as big as a palm fan, and grabbed Katie.

Katie immediately pulled out the axe, bringing out a pool of blood, and then immediately ran around the huge pillar-like foot, avoiding the Cyclops's grabbing hand.

The Cyclops may look scary, but it is a battlefield creature after all, and it is not designed to fight smaller enemies alone.

After going around the Cyclops' other leg and swinging the axe to attack again, Katie was suddenly stunned.

On the back of the thigh, there is a peculiar burn.

"Grandpa Sal!?" Katie screamed.

Chapter 35: Kind Father and Filial Son

While a heated exchange was taking place at the original site of the Thunder Tribe, the new Beastmen who were trying to break through the Chaos Beastmen's defenses in the surrounding areas also changed their tactics under the micro-manipulation of the Mother Goddess of Earth, from breaking through the defenses to delaying the enemy and not giving them a chance to return for reinforcements.

The battle within the Thunder Tribe did not go very smoothly.

"Heal the wound!" Elisa used a wound healing spell on Winter, which healed the wound Winter had just suffered.

"Thank you, Miss!" After his wounds healed, Winter continued to fight with the Chaos Beastmen without stopping.

After that round of bombing, there were still eight Chaos Beastmen left who could fight. Winter and Ram each had four. If it was against ordinary Chaos Beastmen, two Knights would be more than enough, but for defense, Zekesi kept the Chaos Beastmen by his side, all of which were elite, so the two Knights had a hard time fighting.

And as a magic support, Alisa couldn't play a big role. There were two main roles for magicians: long-range turrets and close combat unit assistance. But as a magic apprentice who was only twelve years old, Alisa could only play a small role.

Not long ago, Elisa used a wind acceleration on Ram, but Ram couldn't control her steps and rushed into the arms of a female pig-headed man, almost leading to a heavy-taste plot.

Due to lack of experience, Elisa didn't know when to use what auxiliary magic. She was afraid of making things worse, so Elisa could only use some auxiliary magic such as wound healing.

The battle was at a stalemate. Looking at her mother tied to the pillar, Elisa was anxious. At this time, Ilfa was staring at Zekesi and Linde with burning eyes.

Following her mother's gaze, Alyssa also looked over, and her pupils dilated in surprise.

"Linde has fallen!?" Alisa exclaimed.

Going back a little in time, Linde cut off the right waist of the shadow stand-in with a sword.

When the shadow stand-in launched a whirlwind slash, Lind keenly seized an opportunity and completed defense and counterattack at the same time with an extremely extreme movement, and the shadow stand-in was slashed at the right waist.

If it was a real person, the winner would have been decided by now, but unfortunately it was not, the opponent was the effect of magic.

Lind didn't understand magic, but he could observe. Combining the name of this magic and the characteristics it showed, Lind deduced that this was a magic that copied all of a person's fighting skills. The object of this shadow double in front of him was the deceased famous knight of the Holy Empire, Kong Nan who never fell from his horse.

That is Linde's biological father.

When they just started fighting, Lind had a familiar feeling. After a few more rounds, Lind was sure that this was his father Kongnan Ryan.

He was too familiar with his swordsmanship. In countless martial arts competitions, Linde had always carefully observed his father's every move, learning from each move and looking for flaws.

"You killed Kong Nan!?" Zexi's eyes widened. He couldn't believe that Kong Nan would die at the hands of a twelve-year-old kid.

"What? You don't believe it?" Linde sneered. "It doesn't matter. You will believe it soon."

Did Lind kill Kong Nan? Of course not. Kong Nan died by wiping his mouth.

As a knight's squire who prepared and maintained weapons for Kong Nan, Linde had of course been suspected, especially since Linde was the last person to touch Kong Nan's gloves. From this perspective, it seems reasonable to say that Linde was the cause of Kong Nan's death.

But Kong Nan was not killed by Linde. After investigation, Linde's suspicion was ruled out.

Who killed Kong Nan was never found out until the end. No one knew whether they really didn't find out or they didn't dare to find out.

From a standpoint, Linde had no reason to kill Kongnan. Although he did not acknowledge Linde as his son and called Linde a bastard, he still provided Linde with food, clothing, shelter and transportation, and accepted Linde as a knight's squire, which was considered to be a plan for Linde's future.

But once Kong Nan died, all of this was gone. Linde was thrown to Ivozhen Island by his biological aunt, Havoise, who gave him a badge of the Ryan family as compensation and left him to fend for himself.

This is disgusting. Only legitimate family members can use the family crest. For illegitimate children, giving them the family crest is to acknowledge that they are part of the family, but giving the crest and registering them in the family tree should be done together. Lind was only given the crest, but not registered in the family tree, which means that Lind's identity is not recognized.

Since Lin De did not kill his father, why did he say that Kong Nan died at his hands?

It's simple, just bluffing!

Bluffing and adding psychological pressure to the opponent. Although I don't know the principle of this magic, most magic requires staying calm. If it can interfere with his emotions, why not do it?

This trick really worked, and Zekesi was a little shaken. He came to Aiwozhen Island half a year ago, and he didn't know about Kong Nan's death. He didn't believe that Kong Nan, who never fell off his horse, would die at the hands of a little devil, but Linde had indeed dealt a fatal injury to the shadow substitute just now...

Lin De took a deep breath and stared at Kong Nan's shadow substitute with burning eyes.

According to the original owner's memory, after Kong Nan's death, the original owner's emotions were very complicated, including pain, confusion, sadness, and anger.

And regret.

I regretted that I didn't have the chance to draw the sword against my father.

Lin De's feelings towards Kong Nan are very complicated. There is the dependence of a son on his father, the respect of an apprentice for his master, and the hatred of an illegitimate son for his father who does not acknowledge him.

He carefully observed his father's every move every moment, both to learn and to find flaws, so that he could be a filial son one day.

I originally thought that after my father died, I would no longer have this opportunity, but I didn't expect that the opportunity would be presented to me in this form.

Give yourself the opportunity to fulfill your filial duty to your father.

At this moment, the anger that had been suppressed suddenly burned fiercely.

It is combustion in the physical sense.

The temperature around Lind rose sharply, and the red color appeared in front of Lind again.

The ferocious black and red figure still sat upright on the seat made of skulls, supporting his head with one hand and looking sideways at Lind. The voice that seemed to come from a sea of ​​blood and corpses echoed in Lind's ears.

"You showed your anger. Hatred and resentment were boiling in your heart. You knew that there was a huge gap between your strength and your father's, but you were still not afraid."

"It would be tantamount to suicide for you to challenge your father at this moment. Your death will be meaningless. However, if you are willing to pledge allegiance to me in the name of revenge, I will grant you enough power to vent all your anger."

Chapter 36 Blood God's Blessing

The air around Lind's body was visibly distorted, which was a sign of the rapid rise in temperature.

Linde's inner anger and hatred for his father were burning with unprecedented intensity.

And the culprit was the black and red figure that appeared in front of Lind at this moment, the hideous figure sitting on the skull throne.

This was the second time that Linde saw him. The last time was when he just crossed over. Facing those perverted minotaurs, the weak Linde was unable to resist. It was with His power that Linde succeeded in killing them and survived.

From this perspective, He is still Lind's savior. Without the power He gave casually with a glance, Lind's life of traveling through time would have ended just as it began.

But Lind knew very well that He was dangerous.

Because He is one of the four evil gods, the God of Blood and Killing, also known as the Blood God.

According to Kitama's knowledge of evil gods, the four evil gods all represent the extreme of a certain emotion. The Blood God represents anger, and he will be attracted to anger.

After being noticed by the Blood God, one's rage will grow stronger and stronger until all rationality is swallowed up by rage and one becomes a murderous demon who only knows how to chop and chop.

"Blessing from the Blood God." Zexi showed a sympathetic expression after seeing the changes in Lind's body. "Another poor creature bewitched by the evil god, just like that Cyclops."

As he spoke, Zekesi glanced at the huge Cyclops, who was still being entangled by Katie, but still did not forget his mission and stayed firmly by Ilfa's side.

"You are not?" Lind, whose body was surrounded by red, suddenly said. "You have not been bewitched by the evil god?"

"You can still talk?" Zekexi was a little surprised. "Don't compare me with weak guys like you. The evil god can never bewitch me."

Lind grinned and rushed towards Zekesi.

"Waaaaagh~!" Lind roared, his whole body seemed to be burning.

Zekesi was startled by the loud roar. Wasn't this the right cry? Shouldn't the Blood God followers shout a different slogan?

However, Zekesi didn't have time to think about it. He controlled his shadow stand and fought with Lind.
