Blade Waltz, the supreme secret of the Laurent family's swordsmanship.

Legend has it that when using this secret, the user will completely disappear in the endless sword light, and the man and sword will combine to strike the enemy indiscriminately.

Surrounded by the sword light, the enemy could only vainly defend against attacks from all directions, and finally suffered helplessly in the bright light.

It's just that because the members of the Laurent family in recent generations have been a bit poor, this trick has not appeared in people's sight for a long time, so many people think that this is just the Laurent family's self-bragging.

Maybe... it's just a good swordsmanship, but few people really want to believe that the user can disappear in the light of the sword.

And now, they saw this swordsmanship with their own eyes.

Fiona's figure almost merged with her sword light, like a tangled gorgeous ribbon, lingering around Lux.

The bright red flowing on the ribbon is the shawl outside Fiona's armor!

Xin Zhao, standing behind Jarvan III, held the spear in his hand.

Although it was a bit unhonorable, he was already prepared and was always ready to go down and end the battle - no matter from any angle, he could not believe that the two people in the duel field were damaged!

Being in the middle of the battle, the pressure Lux felt was even more astonishing.

In front of the Blade Waltz - even the still very immature Blade Waltz, Lux, who was originally able to maintain the situation in the close combat, was now completely at a disadvantage.

She dodged left and right in a panic, frequently blocked with her sword, and even used the thickest part of her armor to deal with Fiona's attack from the side - thanks to the thin and tough rapier Fiona used this time,

If she had used a three-sided dueling sword this time, I'm afraid Lux ​​would have hated it on the spot!

Although she was quite shocked by "watching outstanding students" in the past, compared to her current experience, it was still not direct enough.

During simulation training, Lux had faced many types of opponents, but due to Kalya's "limited computing power", Fiona's level of opponents could not be simulated.

In this dazzling sword light, Lux seemed to have returned to her first training, when she faced the scarab.

This continuous sword light was just like the endless beetles and the yellow sand in the sky, making her almost suffocated.

You cannot face the Blade Waltz by relying solely on skills and reactions.

After realizing this, Lux avoided another fatal thrust and grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands for the first time.

"Now?"

Facing Lux's inquiry, Kalya, who had remained silent, finally spoke for the first time.

"It's now!"

Fiona's stabbing sword struck again.

This time Lux did not retreat or dodge.

I saw her holding the sword with both hands, using all her strength, and facing the brightest sword light from bottom to top!

"Zheng——"

With an extremely harsh sound of gold and iron intersecting, Lux's sword and Fiona's stabbing sword finally collided head-on.

Lux's head-on blow hit the blade of the rapier cleanly.

This time, the thin and tough stabbing sword failed to deflect Lux's slash after bending like it did when it collided before, and continued its own attack.

As a sword was slashed out, the two swords intersected, the two of them passed each other, and the two swords broke almost at the same time.

"Whoosh——"

"Whoosh——"

"Tuk-tuk——"

The next moment, in the astonishment of the audience, the broken sword blade flew out quickly and was nailed to the table in the front row of the audience.

Then, with two sounds of "ga" and "uh", the two nobles behind the two tables locked their hearts, rolled their eyes, and fainted from fear.

……………………

Both Lux and Fiona's swords were broken.

According to Demacia's rules, a broken sword is a loss - theoretically, this is an extremely bad lose-lose ending.

According to Demacia's code, the duel should involve a "second round witnessed by the Winged Sisters."

It's just that because the Winged Sisters have been missing for a long time, there will no longer be witnesses in the second round - and there is no duel without witnesses, so in essence, a loser is a draw.

Considering Lux's age and the sharp waltz used by Fiona, the witnesses present obviously did not think that anyone lost - this was clearly a win-win situation!

Even though many people knew that Lux had tried her best and managed to achieve this ending, but speaking of it, this duel would eventually be regarded as a draw.

Everything is developing towards a perfect result. Although many nobles are worried about Lux's performance and are unwilling to see the rise of another Tiana, at least at this time, their choice should be to stand up and applaud warmly.

.

Then, just when Jarvan III began to prepare to deliver his testimony, the Illuminati bishop who officiated the engagement yesterday stood up first.

"Sure enough, there is a second round! The oracle is true!" The white-haired old bishop shouted in an extremely excited tone, "The Flying Wing sisters have not forgotten us, they have been watching us and watching Germany.

Marcia! Laxana and Fiona, you will have a second round of duel under the glory of the Winged Sisters!"

This sudden change shocked all the nobles present.

Is Mr. Bishop crazy?

You didn't even look at who was dueling. Everyone was happy when these two got a draw. No matter how much we wished that both of them would lose, we can only applaud honestly now!

Are you impatient with your life now that you are jumping into trouble?

At this time, all the nobles finally united in their hatred and glared at this uninvited guest - the Illuminati will be your charity organization honestly, so don't come out to cause trouble at this time!

No matter how close Lux is to the royal family, it is still an internal matter for our nobles!

Your Illuminati Society came out at this time and wanted to get involved?

dream!

However, what was completely unexpected was that facing the murderous gazes of the nobles, the old bishop still looked calm and indifferent, as if he didn't care at all.

"This is the oracle!" He smiled, as if bathed in the supreme glory, "It is the will of the Winged Sisters! The Silent Man has interpreted the oracle, and the Winged Sisters are watching us!"

After hearing the oracle, the nobles present finally couldn't sit still. They looked at each other in disbelief, and their originally resentful eyes instantly became horrified - if the silent people were sure that it was the oracle...

It can't really be true, can it?

how so?

At this time the Illuminati received a message from the Oracle!

Many nobles who reacted very quickly have already remembered the past history, the history of the struggle between the divine power represented by the Illuminati and the royal power represented by the royal family!

If the royal family and the nobles had not worked together to win the support of the people with blood sacrifices, the Illuminati would not be as harmless as it is now!

Although they have not experienced that era, many nobles have learned many secrets from their elders - if the silent people within the Illuminati did not interfere, and the Illuminati did not forge the oracle, then even if Jarvan I died in battle, Jarvan II

It is difficult for aristocrats to win a complete victory in that political struggle even if they go into battle and win with their troops.

But now, the Illuminati confidently took out the oracle...

Could it be that the Illuminati, which has been keeping a low profile for hundreds of years, finally cannot help but show its fangs?

"The Illuminati will not lie about the oracle." The bishop smiled and looked extremely proud. "Everyone, the Winged Sisters have never been far away from us. Let me announce the oracle next -"

"No need." Just when he was triumphantly planning to spread the glory of the Winged Sisters and make the Illuminati great again, Lux suddenly spoke and interrupted him without warning, "This duel is mine.

If you lose, there is no need to announce the oracle. As a loser, I am willing to bear the punishment of a stone crown."

No one thought that Lux would say this.

When her powerful words appeared in everyone's ears, the king was stunned, the nobles were stunned, the bishop was stunned, and the entire duel hall became silent.

……………………

No one could have imagined that at this time, Lux would take the initiative to stand up and interrupt the Illuminati bishops to prevent them from announcing the oracle by enduring the punishment of the stone crown!

Voluntarily accepting the punishment of the Stone Crown means that Lux will climb Mount Targon barefoot until she reaches the top, in order to wash away her failure and the blasphemy against the Winged Sisters!

When Lacus said these words, no matter what oracle the Illuminati bishop discovered, it was completely meaningless at this time - Lacus did not accept the oracle, and would rather bear the punishment of the stone crown than accept it!

This made the bishop's breath almost stuck in his throat. He never expected that an opportunity to spread the glory of his faith would finally appear, only to be abruptly destroyed by Lax in an almost martyr-like manner.

Lost!

At this time, the nobles who came back to their senses, without exception, sincerely paid the highest respect to Lux.

Under this situation, even the slowest nobles have realized that if the bishop is allowed to announce the oracle and then conduct the second round of the duel with great fanfare, perhaps the religious sect within the Illuminati will rise again.

After all, the Illuminati was not so gentle from the beginning. This ancient organization was born out of the Winged Sisters, and like the thirteen noble families, they are the "founding fathers" of Demacia.

In Demacia, theocracy used to be an important force, and the Illuminati and the nobles used to pull each other's hair and spit on each other!

But later, due to foreign wars, the nobles used their own sacrifices to gain the support of the people, and eventually squeezed the Illuminati out of the center of power and turned it into a charitable organization harmless to humans and animals - but even so, they did not

Forget about suppressing the Illuminati.

Even in Demacia, a large part of the reason for the rise of the demon seekers is to defeat the Illuminati and suppress their influence in the field of magic.

And just now, when the Archbishop of Xiongdu announced the reappearance of the Silent Man and the arrival of the Oracle, the Illuminati, an organization that had been dormant for a long time, already had reasons and opportunities to resume activities!

From what he meant, it seemed that the oracle mentioned the second round of the duel!
