Chapter 737 The Battle Begins

"Equipment? Of course it's equipped, but it's not that troublesome for men to change their equipment."

Finally it’s here, day after day, year after year, I have been secretly hiding in the corner and practicing silently. One year has passed, two years have passed, and finally in the fifth year, I have mastered the trick, but I have never mastered it. Opportunity to use.

Now, I can finally show it in front of everyone on this day. Hum, tremble in front of my unique skills, you humble mortals.

In everyone's surprised eyes, there was a "hiss" sound, and the aristocratic dress that always made me restrained finally got its due end. I tore it violently with my hand on my chest and turned it into rags all over the sky.

And at the moment when the clothes were torn, a full body of radiant armor was exposed. A black cloak unfolded from the shoulder armor, flying in the cold wind. The ferocious steel structure left only the silvery white gaps between the eyes, nose and mouth. The high-grade helmet, connected with the armor, covers the whole body in steel. The thick armor makes the body suddenly swell, like a beast made of steel, and the opposite side is still flexible even if it is wearing armor. The incomparable Arturia was in stark contrast.

This sense of solidity tightly wrapped in steel is what makes a real warrior! !

see it? This is Wu's own unique skill that I imitated from countless animations and practiced for many years - Wu's instant kill style of changing clothes! ! It only takes less than a tenth of a second to switch on the whole body equipment. Now you only need to pay a tuition fee of 10,000 gold coins, and you can get instruction and skills included. Why don’t you act quickly?

"..."

There was silence.

What's wrong, are you all stunned by my stunts? This is a matter of course, after all, it has been hard training for many years.

"Fan, it's very good..."

In the silence, Artoria still spoke. Anyone who is familiar with Artoria knows that she will not lie. If she says it is good, then it must be good.

After a pause, Artoria added with a subtle smile.

"Very nice underwear, the lion is embroidered on it, very cute."

I:"……"

Onlookers:"……"

"Yes...really? It was Vilas who made it for me. I have asked her to do the normal one over and over again..."

Suddenly I realized that it was broken. Although it is indeed amazing to switch the whole body of equipment in 0.1 seconds, it can indeed dazzle ordinary people. But for adventurers, if you want to switch in 0.1 seconds, you can It doesn't seem particularly difficult to see the structure inside clearly...

Difficult... Could it be that from now on, I will have another title of Exposed Demon?

Also, give me back the five years of wasted youth, you bastard! !

“This bad guy is hopelessly stupid~~”

Lucia covered her face with her red-faced hands. From the gap between her wide fingers, she looked intently at the big black eyes of someone on the ring. However, the three white wolves next to her were speechless for a while.

"Lucia has reached the age where she is curious about men's bodies."

Malagby was still speaking freely. It was he again, and it was he who spoke the forbidden words that could only be thought of in his heart at a volume that most people could hear. White Wolf and Kurt immediately fought with him. Keep a distance of more than ten meters and look at him with pity.

The next moment, Malagubi had a dagger on his butt. He touched his buttocks that suddenly felt pain, looked at the pool of bright red blood on his hands, and then turned to look at the two smooth bodies that were in a blackened state. Lucia held a total of six throwing knives in her little hands and threw them at her. At this time, Malagubi wisely stuck out his tongue and fell down.

"It's an incredible skill. Although it seems useless at first glance, it might be useful as a surprise weapon at some point. Elder Fan is really prepared for a rainy day."

This is a mortal combination, Lyman and Kane. They couldn't grasp the wonderful moment of tenths of a second, and they looked at each other with admiration.

"Could it be that...this seemingly embarrassing behavior has some profound meaning?"

This is Drizzt's evil organization. After realizing the huge gap between their naive self and someone in some aspects, every move of someone has become unpredictable in their eyes. Now they are involved in a war. In the midst of meaningless meditation, he tried to decompose each of the opponent's actions to study the profound truth contained in them.

"Making clothes...embroidering..."

At this moment, Artoria really fell into deep thought because of my words that subconsciously concealed her inner shame. After a moment, she raised her head and looked at me with a serious look.

"Fan, tell me, in your human world, a qualified wife must make underwear and can embroider lion patterns on it, is that right?"

"No... there is no need to emphasize the underwear, and they are embroidered with lion patterns." I admit, I was taken aback by Artoria's powerful thinking angle.

"But it's not denied, is it? So that's it, underwear...lion..."

I've said it, just underwear. After all, it's simple to make, and it's the easiest thing to learn among tailors. There's nothing wrong with starting from simplicity, but why do you have to stick to the lion pattern, you golden idiot? ! Cats, dogs, even elephants? ! !

No... embroidering patterns is a problem. I want underwear without patterns, you bastard! Don't give me the bad taste of that puppy of Veras, you bastard! I'm a man and want a shitty picture, you bastard! !

"Huhuhu..."

Oops, I complained too much in one breath, and my brain was a bit starved of oxygen.

Speaking of which, is now the time to talk about underwear?

"Captain, the one chosen by your alliance is really an idiot."

On the stone wall, a sturdy elf wearing red clothes and black armor said this without any mercy.

"Lance, your mouth is still so poisonous, it hasn't changed at all."

Kasha stared blankly at the ring. According to her usual self, she would have given ruthless ridicule and sarcasm to the idiot in the audience. However, now she has a very indifferent look, giving people the feeling that although Her eyes were looking at the arena, but her heart had already flown to nowhere.

"But the captain has changed. He has become almost unrecognizable to me. I'm afraid those people who were beaten to death won't believe that the bloody queen they knew in the past has turned into what she is now."

The strong elf named Lanster leaned his back upright against the stone wall, crossed his arms over his chest, and continued to speak mercilessly with a leisurely and sarcastic attitude.

"Yes, so many years have passed before I knew it. I have changed and your hair has turned gray."

Facing Lanster's sharp tone, Kasha did not get angry. After taking a sip of wine, he said calmly.

"My hair is originally white..." Lanster sighed.

"Ah, really?" Kasha's casual tone of making mistakes also sounded.

"However, even though I'm talking about this, Captain, you still haven't responded. It seems that you have walked out of the shadow."

Then, Lanster showed a faint smile, not a mocking smile that saw everything through, but a sincere and happy smile.

"It's not that I walked out, it's that I forgot."

Kasha, who was holding a sip of wine, narrowed her eyes and said vaguely. She didn't look at Lancet from beginning to end. It was obvious that she didn't want to discuss this issue more. Unfortunately, Lance Te is not a guy who understands others, or in other words, he has a certain purpose.

"Really? I think so. Judging from your depraved appearance, you can probably guess it."

Lanster was leaning against the wall like this, with his arms folded across his chest, looking up at the sky above his head, as if he had traveled to an unknown era.

"Captain... no, it's Elder Kasha. I, Lanster, will not recognize you as you are now."

He closed his eyes, as if he was recalling something in his mind, and then slowly opened them after a while. At that moment, a frightening fanaticism flashed through those deep black pupils.

Yes, there is only one captain that I, Lanster, know, that arrogant and powerful burgundy demon.

That scene decades ago is still deeply imprinted in Lanster's mind.

As a master of the younger generation of the elves, known as the most talented elf, Lanster was among the adventurers back then. In just his second year in the second world, he had already broken through to the pseudo-realm. He does have arrogant capital.

However, he, who was so proud, was defeated by a woman in less than a minute, and he lost completely.

It's impossible. Even Harrogas' pseudo-domain masters can never be so powerful. Only domain-level experts... However, this woman who looks a little younger than herself does use the pseudo-domain. Defeat yourself with your own strength.

Lanster could hardly believe that at that moment, the long-established dam of confidence collapsed, and the endless water of despair burst out, completely submerging Lanster.

"You guys still have some strength!"

The unique magnetic voice of an arrogant woman rang in his ears. Lanster knew that it was that woman, the owner of the voice, that woman. She had completely defeated him. Even if he had no strength to sit up, he was just like the devil. woman.

Without any mercy, Lanster's blood-stained white hair was pulled hard, and his whole body was lifted up. Under the control of the pulling force on his head, he knelt on the ground and looked up.

His sight caught a female face.

That was a face that Lanster had never seen before. It was not as slender, elegant, noble, and equally beautiful as an elf woman, but its blood-red eyes were full of evil smiles, and the corners of her mouth were always curled up with a smile. The arrogant smile, the self-confidence and arrogance that emanated from her body seemed to be swallowed up by the blood moon hanging in the night sky behind her, making Lanster deeply realize that what he had before Pride is so naive and superficial.

Too arrogant, this temperament is too arrogant, the panting Lanster thought, but deep in his heart, there was an unconscious realization that it was this arrogance that made this woman , it is the truth to be so arrogant. In this world, she is the only one qualified to have such arrogance.

Those sharp red pupils, an evil and arrogant smile, the long burgundy hair tied into a long ponytail, casually hanging down to the waist, the red cloak behind the back is cold and bulging, and there is a strong and arrogant look everywhere. The beautiful face, all these make up her, the burgundy devil, even the blood moon that hangs behind her proud figure and is praised by the world has become a foil in front of her arrogance.

"It just so happens that there is a lack of a follower around me, so it will be you. Feel honored to be my follower, boy."

In Lanster's dull eyes, the woman who looked like a red devil in front of him announced with a tone of command that could not be refused. It was a natural tone that made Lanster really think that he should Just feel honored.

Since then, there has been a little follower beside the burgundy devil. Although this little follower is respected by other adventurers for his powerful strength, he has the title of Red Death because of his elusive speed. , always leaving a faint red shadow on the enemy.

"call--"

After waking up from his memories, Lanster shook his head vigorously, moved his ethereal steps to the side of Kasha, and sat down.

"You don't mind if I sit next to you, Elder Kasha."

"Please."

"You don't mind having a drink together."

Lanster naturally took out two empty wine glasses and several bottles of good rum from his body, filled the two glasses, picked up one of the glasses, and took a gentle sniff of the clear wine that exuded a mellow and fruity aroma. , hold it in your mouth, and pour it down in one gulp.

Kasha also drank another glass at the same time.

The two former teammates were sitting side by side, their eyes falling on the ring, and you drank a glass without saying a word, and I drank a glass...

…

"Fan, it's time to start."

As the king, Artoria made a clear judgment.

"That's right, start early, finish early, there will be a banquet later." I nodded to the other party with a smile, and I agreed.

"So……"

With such a low voice, Arturia slowly pulled out her artifact sword from the golden scabbard.

None of the above?

Under the intense gaze of hundreds of pairs of eyes, the moment the sword blade emerged from the scabbard, all the onlookers who did not know the truth subconsciously exclaimed.

Until Arturia pulled out the "entire sword" from the scabbard, the golden scabbard engraved with magical textures was also put away by her.

Why should we emphasize the three words "the whole sword"? Because looking at it with the naked eye at this time, what Artoria was holding in her hand was clearly just a sword hilt, a sword hilt without a blade. It was held so solemnly in her hands, and it looked very... Funny meaning.

However, I have no intention of laughing at all. Not to mention my previous otaku knowledge, I have already anticipated the existence of this possibility. Every slight movement of the invisible sword blade on the opposite side can bring up the air. The fact that it was torn apart made it difficult to raise the corners of my mouth even if I pulled hard with two fingers.

This is an artifact. What I am facing now is a genuine artifact!

"I'm sorry, but I don't have enough ability to unleash the true power of this sword. I can't even make it visible."

Arturia sighed softly. Divine weapons also have the arrogance of sacred weapons. Even if I agree with you, as long as you are not capable enough to unlock the seal on it, it is not much different from the bug sword in someone's warehouse. .

"But one day, I will unlock all the seals on it and let its light spread across the continent."

The cruel reality did not hit Artoria. She raised the hilt of the sword in her hand high, and the invisible blade flashed a dazzling light in the sun as if in response to her declaration.

"Really? If it comes to this, I will go all out."

Werewolf transformation!

Moon Wolf - Transformation!

Pseudo realm activated!

In an instant, as the moon wolf appeared, the light blue pseudo-realm world spread out in all directions like the big mouth of a crazy beast, wrapping Artoria in it without any pause.

By the way, in fact, werewolf transformation can fuse all the clothes of the body. Isn't it better than any instant-kill clothes-changing flow? You don’t have to worry about being too good in the other person’s eyes and being exposed.

I quickly realized this fact, and once again felt extremely sad for myself who had spent the past five years taking some time to practice changing clothes, hoping that I would be able to make a shining debut at some point.

"Fan, your strength has improved a lot."

In her own mutated pseudo-domain world, Artoria was not panicked at all, but looked at herself with approval.

"Every time I see you, I can definitely feel that your strength is rising rapidly."

"Really? Even if you say so, I don't have the confidence to defeat you now."

Turning his right hand, the long sword glowing with dark gold color was already in the palm of his hand. Starting from the hilt, it gradually spread to the sword body, until the entire long sword was covered with dense freezing air, causing the temperature in the entire arena to suddenly drop by dozens of degrees. , even the arena floor with excellent magic resistance began to be covered with a layer of white ice.

"There is no need to be modest. Although it is impossible to judge in terms of strength, in terms of combat experience and skills, I am indeed inferior to you."

Arturia slowly drew the invisible sword blade in a semicircle in the air, dragged it slightly behind her, and tightened her hands holding the sword hilt.

"I hope you can win this battle, but I won't hold back."

"I've already guessed that you would say this, but can't you really give in a little bit?"

With a smile on my face, I bent my waist slightly at a subtle angle, and a huge tension suddenly surged through my body.

In response to my teasing, Artoria smiled lightly.

The next moment, a hurricane blew up, and our two figures disappeared at the same time...
