Chapter 59

Ren responded aloud, and Driss's mouth showed a successful smile.

Davenlage felt a little regretful. It seemed that this young man would not be able to enter the demon squad, but Ren himself agreed, and he couldn't stop him with words, so he could only say: "Pollock, take Ryan to the demon squad." Let’s go to the team’s armory, and he can choose the weapons and equipment in it.”

"Yes, Captain." Pollock said helplessly, "Ren, come with me."

The two left the office and went to the armory on the first floor.

Pollock reproached dissatisfiedly: "Ren, how can you agree to Dries' request? He is a fourth-level magic swordsman, and you are only a first-level one. How do you fight? Winning or losing is second. Driss obviously has bad intentions, so you are not afraid." Injuried?"

"Captain, don't worry. I dare not say that I will win. I can still protect myself." Ren said confidently.

Pollock didn't believe it, thinking that Ryan was too arrogant.

Driss is three levels higher than Rennes, one level behind!

The strength comparison between extraordinary people, within the same level, many talented people can leapfrog challenges, but it is almost impossible to leapfrog challenges. The difference in strength between different levels is crushing, and there is no power to fight back.

Moreover, Driss is not an ordinary extraordinary person.

Although he is only at the fourth level, Dries is also a well-known young man in Longshande. He is just in his early thirties and has been promoted very quickly. He is the strongest among the five captains and is considered to be the number one candidate to succeed the next captain. .

Pollock didn't even dare to say that he could protect himself from Dries.

Alas, young people just can't hold their breath, and they are fooled by just a few provocative words.

Pollock was tangled in his heart, and regretted recruiting Ryan.

If Ren suffered a big loss here and went back to tell Master Roger that he came to trouble the Public Security Bureau, how should he explain it?

Now I can only hope that Driss will look at Master Roger's face and not be too harsh. If there is a chance to make a move, then help Ren, so as not to cause too much trouble.

Ren was very relaxed, and asked: "What is the origin of this Driss, the captain thinks highly of him?"

Pollock's face was startled, and he said in amazement: "You don't know Dries?"

"I just met him today." Ren replied truthfully.

Pollock was even more surprised, "You just met Driss, so why did he have trouble with you?" He was confused and doubtful: "It can't be because of me, right? I didn't have any enemies with him before."

"I don't know why, maybe he just doesn't like me." Ren shrugged, not wanting to say anything about Viola.

Pollock saw at a glance that Ryan was not telling the truth, but he didn't ask further.

"The armory has arrived."

The arsenal of the demon squad is not big, just a room full of various weapons and armor. Pollock said: "Most of the demon squad have their own equipment, and here is a spare, so the quality is relatively average. You choose it yourself." Take it easy."

Ren nodded. If he had brought a refined iron hammer, he wouldn't have to worry about it.

He looked around and found that most of them were long swords, only a few warhammers, and they were too light to hold.

Considering Driss' extraordinary professional characteristics, Ren soon had a choice.

He used to pick up a large round shield, made of pure steel, with a diameter of nearly one meter and a weight of more than a hundred pounds. Holding it in his hand, it could cover most of his body.

He holds a shield in his left hand and a one-handed warhammer in his right hand.

The head of the hammer is square, and the handle is only half a meter long. The shape is very simple. The whole hammer only weighs more than 60 pounds. Although it is a bit light, it is already the most practical.

"Have you chosen?"

Pollock looked at Ren, who obviously looked like an iron guard, who would have thought that this was a wizard?

He thought that Renn was timid and just wanted to use defensive equipment to protect himself, so he suggested: "Anyway, it's too late, do you want to wear another set of heavy armor? I'll put it on for you."

"No, that's enough."

Ren shook his head and refused. The defense of ordinary heavy armor may not be as good as his steel body, and wearing it is also cumbersome, which will affect his flexibility and speed.

The two left the armory and went to the training ground in front of the office building.

At this time, many people were already waiting in the martial arts training ground, and they were all members of the Demon Slayer Team. They heard the news and came to see the excitement.

Dries was standing on the sidelines with a long sword hanging from his waist, chatting and laughing with several members of the Demon Slayer team, with a relaxed and indifferent face, apparently not paying attention to the upcoming competition.

When Ren appeared, everyone's eyes fell on him, and then they were all stunned.

They have all heard that the one who will fight Dries is a battle wizard. Although everyone doesn't know much about battle wizards, the image of Renn is too different from that of a wizard!

In people's eyes, wizards give people the impression that they wear robes, have a mysterious temperament, are knowledgeable, and possess powerful spells, a symbol of majesty and wisdom.

No one has ever seen a wizard with a large shield in one hand and a hammer in the other!

Someone couldn't help asking: "Is he really a wizard? Is there a mistake?"

"If he puts on heavy armor again and says that he is a steel knight, I will believe it."

"This is not a wizard at all!"

Davenlach couldn't help laughing when he saw Ren's appearance. He really appreciated Ren's choice, which looked similar to his steel knight.

As a high-level transcendent, with extremely rich combat experience and accustomed to wearing heavy armor all year round, Davenlach immediately noticed the extraordinaryness of Rennes.

This large shield plus the warhammer weighs more than 150 pounds. Even those middle-level transcendents who are not good at strength will find it difficult to equip it.

However, Ren seemed very relaxed, and his footsteps were still light when he walked around, as if he was completely unaffected by the heavy shields and weapons.

"This doesn't look like a young man who has just become a superhuman."

Davenlach made a judgment in his heart and had some expectations for the next competition.

He clapped his hands to attract the attention of the audience, and said loudly: "Driss, Ren, you can start. But remember, this is just a test of strength, there is no need to distinguish between life and death, you should be careful."

This was actually said to Dries, and I hope he will be merciful.

"Yes, Captain." Driss responded readily, with a calm expression, making it impossible to see his true thoughts.

Ren just nodded slightly, walked directly to the middle of the training ground, and looked at Driss.

Driss also walked in step by step.

His eyes swept around the martial arts field, he closed his eyes slightly and took a breath, as if enjoying the feeling of being noticed.

Then he looked at Ren, his eyes turned cold, and he said in a low voice: "I don't know where you came from, and no matter what relationship you have with Viola, as long as I am in the demon team for a day, you will Don't even try to come in."

Ren's expression remained unchanged, as if he hadn't heard it.

Driss snorted softly, thinking that Ren was pretending to be calm, and a violent look flashed in his eyes: "Don't worry, I won't kill you, but I will definitely let you enjoy the pain."

After speaking, he drew out the long sword at his waist.

This is an enchanted long sword with a gorgeous shape. There is a row of runes on the spine of the sword. After it was unsheathed, Driss shook his hand, and the blade was dyed fiery red, exuding the meaning of heat.

Ryan put on a defensive stance.

He put a large shield in front of his body, blocking his main body, his waist sank slightly, only half of his head and feet were exposed, and his right hand holding the warhammer shook back and forth gently, sending out a thunderous blow at any time.

The eyes of the soul have already been opened, and they can clearly see the reality of Driss.

Dries laughed contemptuously, took a few steps forward, and narrowed the distance. Suddenly there was a bang, his figure flashed like fire, and he charged at Ren with a sword.

Flame dash!

This is the most commonly used sword technique by flame demon swordsmen. Within a short distance, the speed is raised to the limit, and the soul power is concentrated on the sword, trying to break through the enemy's defense with one blow.

Driss' strategy is very simple, first knock down Rennes' big shield, and then slowly torture Rennes.

In the blink of an eye, a mass of high-temperature heat rushed in front of him.

Ren had been on guard for a long time. As early as the moment Driss launched the flaming dash, he sensed Driss' intentions from the soul element, and instead of retreating, he advanced and took a big step forward.

This step shortened the distance between the two, and it was beyond Driss' expectations.

boom!

There was a loud explosion like thunder on the ground, flames erupted, and heat waves spread.

Under the shocked gazes of the people, Driss flew upside down and landed a dozen steps away, staggering and almost failing to stand still.

Ren stood on the spot, his body as solid as a mountain.

There was a dent in the middle of the large shield in his hand, and it was scorched black by the flames, but he was not injured, not even a piece of his clothes was missing.

In this power competition, it was obvious that Rennes had the upper hand.

Pollock and the exorcists were dumbfounded, not understanding why this was the result? How could the huge power gap between level one and level four be bridged?

Only Davenlach's eyes lit up, and he probably knew what was going on.

The reason is that Rennes took a big step forward, and the timing was just right, so that Driss' flame dash did not release the maximum power due to the lack of distance.

This is a very clever defensive combat technique!

A seemingly simple collision showed Rennes' fine control of skills and his own powerful strength.

But Davenlage also didn't understand, even if Rennes was very powerful, he wouldn't be able to exert such an astonishing effect.

He didn't realize that at the moment of contact, Rain's skin became darker, his whole body was as hard as steel, and his strength surged at the same time, his whole body was firmly nailed to the ground like a sculpture.

Ren turned on the Man of Steel with all his strength for a moment, and then closed it again.

Driss also had a premonition that something was wrong, and he didn't dare to underestimate the enemy anymore, and his expression became cautious.

"This little boy is probably a bit tricky..."

His face darkened, and he decided to use his best strength to defeat his opponent first.

Driss rushed towards Renn again, faster and faster, leaping high ten steps away, the long sword in his hand was blazing, and swung a huge sword shadow violently from top to bottom.

Slash in the air!

The attack range of this sword was very large, and the fiery sword light pressed down from the top of his head. Ren didn't want to fight it hard, and he couldn't dodge it with his own speed.

He suddenly withdrew the large shield in front of him, swung his arms with all his strength, and threw the more than sixty-pound warhammer upwards.

Under the blessing of Ren's strength, the warhammer made a strong sound of piercing through the air, and instantly hit Driss in front of him. He didn't think much, and the sword light continued to cut down, wanting to split the warhammer and Rennes into pieces. The posture of two halves.

With a sound of "Dang", Dries only felt a sharp pain in the right hand holding the sword, and blood burst from the tiger's mouth, and the sword was almost thrown away.

The warhammer was cut off by a small half of the hammer head and fell down.

Driss' volley slashing power was greatly reduced, with less than 30% of the fiery red sword shadow left, and finally slashed on Ren's large shield, leaving only a deep scorched black mark.

When the sword fell, Driss also fell to the ground at the same time, only three steps away from Ren.

However, before he could retreat, Ren suddenly rushed over with a large shield in his hand, like a bull exerting force, and the heavy shield hit him. Driss only had time to retreat a little, but he was still thrown into the air.

A huge force came, and Driss felt as if he was hit head-on by a car, and his whole body hurt everywhere.

Before becoming an advanced magic swordsman, he was a ranger with a strong sense of balance.

In mid-air, Dries reluctantly adjusted his posture and landed, only to find that he was knocked into the air a dozen steps, his throat was sweet, and a stream of blood gushed out.

"What a powerful force!"

Dries tried hard to swallow the blood. If he hadn't stepped back when he was hit and lost part of his strength, he might have been seriously injured.

"He obviously only has level one, why is he so powerful?"

"Is the battle wizard really that powerful?"

Not only Driss, but others present also had the same idea.

In just two fights, Rennes showed a strength far beyond his own level, even suppressing Driss, who was third level!

The eyes of the exorcists were all surprised or unbelievable.

It was only then that Pollock realized that Ren was not arrogant before, but that he really had the strength to compete with Driss. He was secretly happy, and quietly moved his hand on the soul gun.

Ren still kept the large shield in front of him, walked a few steps to the side, picked up the war hammer, which weighed less than fifty pounds, and held it in his hand again.

Seeing that the situation was evenly matched, Davenlage wanted to make a noise to tell the two to stop.

Driss, however, was unwilling to give up. Before Davenlage could speak, his eyes were burning, and he turned into a hot figure and went straight to Rennes.

This time, he didn't jump up hastily, nor did he launch a flaming dash.

Just attacking Ren at an ordinary high speed, the long sword was flowing with red light, and a shadow of the sword enveloped the past, like a flame tornado, including Ren and the large shield within the attack range.

"Northern Wind Swordsmanship."

People recognized at a glance that this was Deris's proud swordsmanship, which came from the Mahaya swordsmanship school in the north of the empire, with coherent and fast sword moves as the main style of play.

Ren also recognized this set of sword skills. Although he hadn't practiced it, he knew how to deal with it.

In the shadow of the sword all over the sky, his eyes were calm, and he instantly locked on where Driss's real long sword was. He moved his feet and waved the big shield calmly.

With a clatter.

The red sword light disappeared, splashing a large amount of sparks on the large shield.

Ren took a step back to relieve his strength, and Driss took the opportunity to move forward, stabbing with the long sword, and the large shield blocked the tip of the sword just right.

Dangdang, three consecutive beeps.

Ren stepped back three steps in a row, and there were three more scorched marks on the large shield.

He couldn't help admiring in his heart that Driss's swordsmanship was really good. Combining the North Wind swordsmanship with the "three combo" element skills, one sword was faster than the other, and the power was greatly increased. It was quite difficult to resist.

Driss' three swords worked, he paused, and swung his sword again.

I saw a blazing sword shadow crazily launching an attack, the flames were radiating, and the heat wave was billowing, but every time it was about to hit Ren, it was always blocked by a big shield, making the long sword return without success , only adding a scorched mark to the large shield.

Judging from the scene, Rennes has fallen into a disadvantage and can only defend, without the power to counterattack.

Daven Rach originally wanted to stop the competition, but when he saw Rennes' defensive skills using shields, he became very interested and wanted to see what Rennes could do.

Pollock, who was watching the battle, couldn't help but sweat for Ren. This large shield is only made of pure steel, without enchantment, and the material is very ordinary. It is difficult to resist it for a long time.

Once the large shield is destroyed, Renn has no chance.

Driss also thought of this, the flame on the sword became more intense, and he poured more soul power into it, trying to destroy this annoying big round shield.

Ren in the battle didn't seem to notice this.

The sound of metal collisions was endless, and it kept ringing in the martial arts training ground. Ren's large shield was covered with scratches, and it was burned red by the high temperature, and it seemed that it would explode at any time.

Finally, after an ear-piercing explosion, the heavy shield was torn apart!

"The opportunity has come." Dries was overjoyed.

"The opportunity has come." Ren thought to himself.
