Chapter 437: Chapter 56: Hegel! Women Make You Weak! Duncan’s engraved ability has not fully come into effect yet, but as long as a little bit takes effect, it marks the beginning of a qualitative change, while Hegel played too much yesterday.
He’s also weak in the legs!
In Hegel’s incredulous gaze, Duncan directly faced his charge, taking half a step back, then swung his battle axe in a powerful heavy chop. Hegel hastily blocked, a mighty force numbing his arm slightly. Before he could regroup for a fierce attack, Duncan kicked his knee.
Instantly, this warrior, who bears a legendary name among the Barbarian Race, stumbled and fell to one knee, the blade of the battle axe directly resting on his neck, even cutting the skin and drawing a trace of blood.
In the distance.
As Duncan swung his battle axe down in a heavy chop, the emblem within the Shen Kan trembled slightly, seemingly ready to descend with Divine Grace and Power, prepared to face Hegel in berserk mode, should Duncan show a hint of killing intent.
But Duncan did not strike the killing blow; he withdrew his battle axe and gazed emotionlessly at the kneeling Hegel.
The surroundings were in an uproar!
Not only the Barbarian warriors around showed shocked expressions, but even the women who were reveling last night stared in disbelief, and some gazes on Duncan showed a hint of regret and pity.
In the distance, the mature and alluring Priestess’ gaze narrowed, looking at Duncan in astonishment.
"Why is it different from the Oracle?"
"Isn’t Hegel supposed to be an invincible warrior?" The Priestess’ heart was in turmoil.
She worships the Daughter of the River, a branch of the Oceanic Divine Spirit.
The descendant of the Oceanid told her that after serving Hegel, she would give birth to a strong child, who would be the King of Dibite.
Buzz.
Almost like trembling, Hegel’s Divine Son mark appeared as if dust-covered, showing a very tiny crack. To be defeated by a human in a competition as a child of the Divine Spirit, and with such carelessness, was utterly shameful.
The will within the Shen Kan seemed furious, extremely displeased with Hegel!
The God of Strength - Kod is a true warrior. Though His reputation isn’t good, being a hedonist who enjoys playing with beautiful humans, elves, and even giant women, without a doubt, He is one of the greatest warriors in this world.
In the Barbaric Era, women were also considered spoils of war, with tribal disputes often leading them to be carried away when unconscious, and the legends of the God of Strength include many tales of forcibly taking women and fathering heroic offspring, influenced by the era.
This was considered honorable at the time, not a moral issue.
Thus, no matter how many women Hegel forcibly took or how recklessly violent he was, it wouldn’t affect the Divine Grace upon him.
Only some critical factors could impact the God of Strength’s Divine Grace on him.
Such as a warrior’s basic strength, courage, fighting spirit, etc.
Careless arrogance.
This is something the God of Strength - Kod cannot tolerate.
Undoubtedly, Hegel’s overall strength surpasses Duncan’s human form, but Duncan relied on clever tactics, being the King of Kings forged in battlefield, with top-notch combat experience.
Hegel, after a night of revelry, was defeated in a state of fatigue due to slight recklessness.
Under normal circumstances.
This gladiatorial match dedicated to the God of Strength had already concluded, for the victor was clearly Duncan.
But the will within the Shen Kan did not depart, with the emblem still radiating Spiritual Light.
Hegel’s face was full of shame, and unwilling fury. He sprang up, repelling Duncan, then retreated a few steps, regrouped, and roared, "Again!"
This battle was too humiliating.
The human form had challenged him many times before but was always easily suppressed by Hegel’s innate strength, beaten effortlessly to the ground.
To lose to an opponent he had defeated many times before was something Hegel could not accept!
At this moment, his reckless rage ignored any rituals for the Divine, only wanting to defeat Duncan and wash away the shame, reclaiming his honor through victory.
It breaks the ritual rules, yet the God of Strength permitted it all.
This gladiatorial match wasn’t over, for the Spiritual Light within the shrine remained, still watching.
The Divine Spirit hoped Hegel would grow from setbacks; undoubtedly, the current events were something They were happy to see.
Duncan remained silent, tossed aside the shield, gesturing to Crete, and said in a stern voice, "Give me the spear."
The enemy’s innate Divine Power shield couldn’t be blocked.
He’d just had half of his arm numbed.
Crete, also shocked, instinctively obeyed, tossing the spear over. The Barbarian warriors revered the strong; after this gladiatorial match, Duncan’s status was transformed.
Regardless of arrogance or recklessness, Hegel’s condition was indeed poor now.
Roar!
He let out a roar, charging once more, as sparks flew at the moment of impact. Duncan parried the heavy strike with his axe, then swept horizontally with the spear, exploiting the length advantage to target Hegel’s lower body. With a thud, he hit Hegel, making his silhouette unstable, and his steps stagger once more.
Facing Hegel’s relentless assault, Duncan rolled and dodged, moving lightly like a monkey, a roll and spring up akin to a Legendary Gladiator, thrusting the spear into the enemy’s thigh.
Poof.
A splash of blood appeared!
At this moment, even the shrine seemed to tremble slightly, as Hegel’s reaction speed clearly couldn’t keep up. His duel with Duncan resembled the clash between the Demon Mountain and the Red Viper in the Song of Ice and Fire, except Duncan would not act carelessly, he wouldn’t take Hegel’s life, but today he also wouldn’t let him win.
