Opening a fantasy anime world with the style of Mount & Blade

Page 30

"Haha, of course not. The old sword saint hasn't even asked your name yet. For the Makgora ritual, shouldn't both sides exchange names first?"

In our world, a one-on-one duel requires both sides to announce their names.

Liu Tianyu chuckled and changed the subject; he was quite worried that the old guy might suddenly use his Swift Step to attack him!

"Given that you are the only human in this world who understands our language, I think we should perhaps follow the one-on-one rules of this world, so that you won't be filled with regret if you lose!"

I come from the Fireblade Clan, and my name is Togala!

After Togala finished speaking, his aged body suddenly erupted with an extremely powerful aura, making him seem nothing like an old orc with one foot in the grave.

"Wow, that's really strong!"

Sensing Togala's overwhelming aura, Liu Tianyu narrowed his eyes, becoming even more determined to kill or capture him.

If that old guy gets away, even if he's the only one who escapes, given his strength and prestige, who knows if he might gather another group of goblins or even orcs?!

"Alright, human boy, state your name!"

Togala raised his cleaved greatsword and pointed it at Liu Tianyu, shouting.

"I am Liu Tianyu, the lord of Stormwind Territory!"

At this moment, you absolutely cannot afford to lose in terms of presence! Otherwise, you'll be halfway to defeat before the fight even begins!

Therefore, Liu Tianyu shouted with all his might, his voice so loud that everyone could hear him clearly.

"Very well, then let's begin the Makgora ritual!"

Togala nodded, then gripped the scabbard tightly with both hands, poised to charge.

"Wait! I still have some things to do. I think the Makgora ritual should also allow the ritual performer to give instructions before the ritual, right?"

Seeing that Togala was about to rush over, Liu Tianyu quickly reached out to stop him.

Togala didn't say much, just nodded, and then planted the nicked greatsword on the ground again.

"Ark, come here for a second!"

Liu Tianyu waved his hand and quickly beckoned the Goblin Slayer behind him to come over.

Goblin Slayer remained silent for a moment, then walked steadily to Liu Tianyu's side, looking up at Liu Tianyu with his helmet on, as if wanting to know what Liu Tianyu wanted to do.

"Look, that old orc, he is the Goblin King! He was mutated and evolved from a goblin, and he can not only command goblins, but also orcs."

As long as he's around, goblins and orcs will keep gathering around him, so he has to die here!

Otherwise, not only villages, but even cities would fall victim to the goblins!

Now, I've used a trick to get him to agree to a one-on-one duel. He's old and frail now, and after just one battle, he's exhausted. Are you confident you can defeat him?

As soon as Goblin Slayer arrived, Liu Tianyu began to deceive him, planning to have Goblin Slayer perform the Magora ritual with Togala in his place.

He would never go himself; it's too dangerous!

As for Goblin Slayer, in the original story, this guy not only has the feat of killing a demon general by trickery, but he is also a hero as determined by the system, so he probably won't die so easily.

His current idea is to trick Goblin Slayer into performing the Magora ritual with Togala.

He took the opportunity to lead his troops to wipe out the remaining orcs, and then ganged up on Togala to teach him what it meant to be beaten by a flurry of punches!

"The King of the Goblins..."

After hearing Liu Tianyu's words, Goblin Slayer remained silent for a while before saying:

"I'm only responsible for killing goblins. Since he's the king of the goblins, then I must kill him. Let me go and fight him one-on-one!"

Upon hearing Goblin Slayer's words, Liu Tianyu's face revealed a knowing smile. As expected of the ruthless XP Goblin, he was so easily fooled!

"When you're fighting him one-on-one, don't think about anything else, just keep him occupied. I'll come help you after I've dealt with those orcs!"

By the way, he probably has three strongest skills. One is Swift Step, which allows him to enter stealth mode, and the attack that breaks through stealth is very powerful.

One is a mirror image, which splits into several clones, possessing the strength of the original body, but is extremely fragile.

The last one is the fatal blow. Once you see him jump or his weapon flashing red, dodge it immediately! Never try to take the hit!

After giving his instructions, Liu Tianyu patted Goblin Slayer on the shoulder, then shouted at Togara:

“Togala, this is my trusted confidant, Goblin Slayer Ark. He will perform the Magora ritual for you in my place. Once he loses, I will fulfill my promise to you and surrender!”

Upon hearing Liu Tianyu's words, Togala stroked his long beard, his eyes sharp as a falcon's, and did not rush to answer.

"Damn, this old guy, does he really want me to perform the Magora ceremony with him?"

Looking at Togala, who was stroking his beard and remaining silent, Liu Tianyu hesitated.

Togala absolutely cannot let him break into the battlefield, otherwise, once the melee begins, this guy will be like a tiger entering a pack of wolves.

Therefore, it is necessary to find someone to perform the Magora ritual with him to stall him. The person who stalls him must be strong, otherwise it would be pointless if he kills them instantly.

To be honest, Liu Tianyu wasn't very confident about personally taking on the task.

"Alright! Liu Tianyu, then have your trusted aide Ark perform the Magora ceremony with me!"

Just when Liu Tianyu was in a dilemma, Togala, for some reason, agreed to Liu Tianyu's request.

"Hey kid in armor, come with me!"

Togala waved at Goblin Slayer and said.

"He's asking you to come with him to a place where you won't be restricted in your abilities for a one-on-one duel!"

Goblin Slayer naturally couldn't understand orc language, so Liu Tianyu translated for him.

Goblin Slayer nodded and then followed Togala.

"Watch out, Ockborgh!"

May the Ancestral Dragon protect you!

"Go for it, Godslayer!"

"Mr. Goblin Slayer, you must win!"

Watching Goblin Slayer's departing figure, the Goblin Slayer squad stepped forward and shouted at his retreating back.

It evokes a feeling of "the wind is howling and the Yi River is cold."

Goblin Slayer did not respond, but simply moved far away from Togara and went to a place where they would not be disturbed.

“A normal Makgola ceremony should involve both sides removing all armor and engaging in a life-or-death struggle with only one weapon or even bare hands.”

But since we are outsiders, let's respect your customs!

Togala held his cleaved greatsword across his chest and spoke with a powerful voice.

"You're so noisy! All I know is that I'm going to kill you, you goblin king!"

Goblin Slayer couldn't understand Togara's words; he only knew that he had to hold off Togara in a one-on-one fight, and even kill him!

Togala couldn't understand what Goblin Slayer was saying either, so he gripped his cleaved greatsword with both hands and charged at Goblin Slayer.

"clang--"

The slashed greatsword collided with the short sword instantly, and the short sword made a sound of being unable to bear the weight the moment it touched the ground.

With a "crack," the short sword shattered into pieces within seconds of contact. Goblin Slayer quickly lowered his head and rolled over, narrowly avoiding Togala's deadly strike.

"call out--"

After dodging Togara's sword with a roll, Goblin Slayer threw the broken half of his short sword at Togara's back as a throwing weapon.

"Clang!" Togala didn't even need to turn around; he simply swung his sword backhand and sent the broken short sword flying.

"Once you lose your weapon, you've basically already lost!"

Togala's figure suddenly vanished, only to reappear behind Goblin Slayer in an instant. He uttered a sentence and then brought his sword down on Goblin Slayer's head.

With a "whoosh," Goblin Slayer hurriedly raised the small round shield he was wearing on his left hand. As soon as it made contact, it produced intense flames. Goblin Slayer was also sent flying several meters away by the enormous force transmitted from the greatsword, and rolled around in the muddy snow.

He finally managed to get up from the ground and saw that the small round shield in his left hand had been completely split in two, with a perfectly symmetrical cross-section.

Even his arm armor had a deep sword mark on it; if it weren't for the small round shield, that sword mark would probably have appeared on his arm already.

"You really disappoint me! I thought that as a trusted confidant, you would be quite capable, but I didn't expect you couldn't even let me warm up!"

Togala looked at Goblin Slayer and couldn't help but shake his head.

Goblin Slayer didn't speak, but instead rummaged through his pockets, pulled out a dark object, pulled open the ring, and threw it at Togala.

Togala instinctively swung his sword at it, but it instantly burst forth with an astonishing white light, causing Togala to instinctively raise a hand to cover his eyes.

"Ahem, what the hell is this?"

Just as Togala was blinded by the white light, Goblin Slayer pulled out a new short sword from his pocket and charged at Togala.

"Om-"

Just as Goblin Slayer's short sword was about to pierce Togara's skin, Togara's figure suddenly flickered.

Less than two seconds later, the original Togala split into three, and the eyes that had been dazed by the flash returned to normal.

Upon seeing Togala split into three, the Goblin Slayer, who had been charging forward, quickly jumped back to avoid it and resumed his defensive posture.

"Prepare to die, Ark! X3"

The three Togalas shouted in unison, then charged toward Goblin Slayer in unison.

"Whoosh whoosh—"

Seeing the Togara charging towards him, Goblin Slayer reached into his pocket again, pulled out a dozen throwing knives, and hurled them at the three Togara like a shower of flowers.

"Ding Ding Ding-"

The three Togalas together swung their cleaved greatswords to block the goblin slayer's throwing knife.

Upon closer inspection, however, it becomes apparent that the two Togala at the very front are moving rather stiffly, and if one had to put it in a way, they seem completely unafraid of getting hurt!

"Those two in front are mirror images, right?"

With that thought in mind, Goblin Slayer reached into his pocket again, took out another short sword, and then fearlessly charged towards the three Togalas.

"Pfft!" "Sizzle!"

Goblin Slayer thrust his two swords straight into the hearts of the two leading Togara, who vanished the instant their hearts were struck.

But before they disappeared, they still managed to slash the Goblin Slayer's shoulder armor with their cleaved greatsword.

The shoulder armor, as if made of paper, instantly turned into iron filings, and Goblin Slayer's shoulders were immediately covered in blood.

Immediately afterwards, Togala's slashing greatsword precisely struck Goblin Slayer's neck, which was protected by his helmet.

Goblin Slayer lowered his head desperately, narrowly avoiding Togala's seemingly inevitable sword strike.

But he was still a little short; Togara's greatsword struck a corner of Goblin Slayer's helmet, revealing a strand of white hair.

"bang"

After dodging Togara's sword strike, Goblin Slayer took advantage of Togara's momentary lapse in concentration and changed his attack with both hands, thrusting the short swords at Togara's chest.

Togala quickly jumped back, creating distance between himself and Goblin Slayer.

After creating some distance, Togala, who had initially been somewhat dismissive, instantly became serious.

When he and the two mirror images attacked simultaneously, he showed no fear. Instead, he came up with a life-for-life tactic, which shows that the Goblin Slayer in front of him is not afraid of death!

How could Togala not maintain respect when facing an opponent who disregards life and death?

Seeing that Togara had dodged his sure-fire attack with a backflip, Goblin Slayer was not disappointed. He simply raised his short swords in front of his chest and silently stared at Togara, confronting him.

Liu Tianyu glanced at Togara and Goblin Slayer, who were locked in fierce combat in the distance, silently prayed for Goblin Slayer, and then shouted to everyone:

"All men, listen to my command! Charge!"

Having said that, Liu Tianyu gripped his 2m lance tightly in his right hand and his steel round shield firmly in his left, and rode his Snow Shadow towards the orcs in a lance-clamped charge.

"Ahhh-"

The unfortunate fellow, caught off guard, let out a howl. He looked at the ground, which was several tens of centimeters away from his feet, and then at the lance that had pierced his stomach, his face filled with disbelief.
