Everything is in the blink of an eye.

The ferocious Doron Demon and the girl holding a hunting knife intertwined with each other, and the wind in the forest had a pungent smell of blood.

Goo!

The Doron Demon landed on the ground and turned its head towards the human girl, its eyes filled with disbelief.

At this time, the girl also turned around, her magnificent eyes were shining with golden light, and her gaze seemed to have real heat. The Doron Demon couldn't help but let out a painful scream when he looked at it, and his whole body was also full of excitement.

White smoke.

The body of the Doron Demon in front of him was covered with bright red blood, and there was a half-foot-long wound on its neck. This wound was also fatal to the Doron Demon.

The hunting knife in her hand was still bleeding. She turned around and said to the dying monster: "Rest in peace..."

When she said this, Nia closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly. When she opened them again, the golden light in her eyes had dissipated, and the monster was lifeless.

"No matter what kind of evil monster or heinous sinner the other person is, they all have the value of being respected as a life. Maybe you cannot forgive their crimes, but at least pray for their afterlife after taking their lives."

This was what Chalmers taught her. Nia thought about its meaning seriously and decided to stick to this practice.

The battle ended so quickly that there was no real sense of it. But the girl knew that she had taken the life of the Doron Demon, and she also knew what had just happened.

Nia's choice to directly face the fangs and claws of the Doron Demon was not blind, but a judgment on the spot.

This Doron Demon cannot change its movement trajectory in the air. The attack pattern of this Doron Demon is known from previous battles. It is not difficult to see through the actions of this Doron Demon.

Facing the sharp claw that was stabbing her forehead, she didn't think too much. She just made a fist with her left hand to block it. Although she avoided the most dangerous claw, the huge strength of the Doron Demon's arms could also do it.

It is easy to break human bones. Generally speaking, the girl's slender left arm should be directly broken by the long arm of the Doron Demon, and then the Doron Demon's claws will still pierce her eyebrows.

But Nia is not an ordinary girl. She is a real warrior. She has fighting energy in her body that can instantly strengthen her body. At that moment, she concentrated her fighting energy in her hands. When the long arm of the Doron Demon collided with Nia's arm,

Not only did she not

It was the Doron Demon whose arm was broken, and the bones made a crisp cracking sound. The moment the Doron Demon's claws were blocked, the blade of the hunting knife Nia held behind her right hand escaped from the Doron Demon.

His neck was crossed, bringing the battle to an end.

The process was not complicated, and Nia didn't think too much. She just subconsciously raised her hands to block and then counterattacked with her sword. The Doron Demon suffered fatal wounds.

After Nia closed her eyes, the white smoke on the Doron Demon also dissipated. When the girl opened her eyes, the monster completely stopped struggling after letting out an animalistic whimper.

"Woo?!"

My head hurts so much.

Nia covered her head. The pain in her head was not a disease, but a sign of mental exhaustion.

Although there is no physical exertion, her mental power is almost exhausted. Mental power is related to people's attention. The symptoms of mental exhaustion are similar to overwork. Generally, it can be quickly recovered through meditation, and it can also be recovered through sleep.

Recovery, but there is no direct means of recovery.

"You have to talk to Master about this."

Nia didn't know that her eyes had changed just now. The reason why the tenacious Doron Demon died so quickly was related to her subconscious use of the pupil technique.

This is "Seraph's Gaze", a move from the Six-Winged Seraph. It can ignore any defensive means and use karmic fire to directly burn the opponent's soul. Although it is an extremely domineering skill, it will cause a lot of damage to the user's mental power.

It was a huge consumption. Nia had only maintained it for two seconds, and the pupil technique stopped naturally due to exhaustion of mental power.

Just when Nia was about to return to the forest, the trees on the other side of the stream suddenly began to shake violently. Before the enemy's attack came, Nia immediately dodged aside. However, due to the exhaustion of mental power, her body's reaction was slowed down by half a beat.

The Doron Demon that had just arrived was about to knock her down, but Nia couldn't avoid it and could only use her fighting spirit to strengthen her body's defense to survive the blow.

Whoosh!

The expected pain did not come. Nia opened her eyes and saw that the Doron Demon was dead, with a long red sword stuck on the top of the body.

"Master?"

Nia turned her head and looked into the forest, but the jungle was too dense and she couldn't see the old man.

But there is no doubt that the one who took action just now was the Sword Master Chalmers in the forest. Although he did not show up, he saw the situation on Nia's side.

"Don't be distracted! Nia, there are more of them."

Chalmers's stern voice came from the forest, Nia turned her head, and as expected, three more Doron Demons appeared on the other side of the stream.

This is because the location of the two of them is very close to the lair of the Doron Demon, and the nearby Doron Demons began to gather here after noticing the unusual smell here.

It was no longer suitable to use a short hunting knife with this number of enemies, so Nia turned her attention to the red long sword in front of her.

This sword was originally the sword of Wenarcodo, the fallen general of the Noah Empire, and was named "Phantom Fire". Nia was recognized by the sword by chance and brought it to the blacksmith shop in the mountains.

I have to borrow your strength.

Nia stretched her hands towards the hilt of the sword, and when she held it, she could feel the sword screaming with excitement.

But this sword is not her own, Nia thought so.

Even though this sword recognized her as its master, Nia did not want to take this sword as her own.

After all, this should be...his sword.

The sword body of "Phantom Fire" was deeply embedded in the ground after penetrating the hard skull of the Doron Demon. Although Chalmers' throwing power was greater, the sharpness of the sword itself was also important.

reason.

Nia grabbed the hilt of the sword with both hands and pulled the long sword out of the Doron Demon's head. The "Phantom Fire" was red all over, as if made of blood. She didn't know those swordsmen who had held the "Phantom Fire".

How many creatures have they killed with this sword?

When the girl pointed the tip of her sword at the three Doron demons on the other side, these ferocious demons could not help but take half a step back.

The sword is a good sword, but only the swordsman holding the sword can determine the strength of the sword.

Swordsmen emphasize cultivating the mind more than physical training. People who are not mentally strong cannot become a qualified swordsman, and are not even qualified to use a sword. And this girl has the edge of a swordsman to be able to control it.

A good sword.

"It seems that this trip was not in vain."

The sight of the girl holding a long sword and facing the Doron Demons fearlessly made this strict instructor finally relax his brows.

At this time, Chalmers was still sitting cross-legged on the cotton cushion. He had not left his seat throughout, but he was very aware of the situation on his apprentice's side outside the forest.

The two hunting horses didn't make any more noise. Their courage was frightened by this human being. They only dared to huddle by the tree and did not dare to make any sound.

It's normal for them to be so scared, because there are five corpses of huge Doron demons next to this tall and strong old man. These miserable monsters don't even know what kind of existence they have provoked until they die.

The moment he got close to the old man, his life was taken away.

Of course, Chalmers had no intention of paying attention to these ant-like low-level monsters. He focused his attention on the girl who was being surrounded and killed.

It was the first time for Nia to encounter such a real fight. Even though her reaction looked green and full of loopholes, Chalmers understood that she was already very good at what she could do.

No matter how powerful a warrior is, he is still weak until he has experienced a life-and-death fight. Just limiting the battle to a "point to finish" drill is of little use. Actual combat is the test that can truly test your ability.

Some people, when faced with the threat of death, are able to exert only ten percent of their strength, while some people, when faced with the threat of death, are able to react 200% more horribly than usual.

Of course, these two types of people are two extremes, and normal people should hover in the middle index.

Judging from Nia's reaction, she should be closer to the latter, which makes Chalmers very pleased. It is very important to deal with things calmly in times of crisis. However, this is not something Chalmers can teach verbally. For those who are not used to it, he can only

Being able to throw him into a worse environment to force him to get used to it, obviously Nia didn't need Chalmers to do that.

"Real warriors need to be tempered by countless battles. Only when the limbs and all the scars remember the taste of life can they be considered to have graduated from childhood."

The words Chalmers muttered to himself came from his mentor, and were later used by Chalmers as a motto for all members of the Knights Templar.

But he never said this to this girl. This is not because Chalmers lowered his standards for Nia, but he knew it the first time he saw this girl - saying this to her was redundant.

of.

Without much effort, the color of the "phantom fire" became darker, and all three Doron Demons fell at the girl's feet. Even if the number of opponents increased to three, it did not bother the girl. It was better to say that she had dealt with it suddenly before.

The Doron Demon was more troublesome to her than these guys. After mastering the attack methods of the Doron Demons, in Nia's eyes, these so-called monsters were just wild beasts that were strong on the outside but hard on the inside.

After the Doron Demons wandering nearby realized that all their companions were dead, they stayed away from the place and did not dare to provoke these two terrible humans again.

Chalmers noticed that the girl was still holding the sword cautiously, so he shouted to her: "If it's over, come back quickly, the food is getting cold."

"Yes! Master."

The girl picked up the water bag on the ground, patted the dust on it and ran towards the forest.

Those vicious monsters escaped into the depths of the jungle, and this first round of trials came to an end.
Chapter completed!
