Chapter 1888: Major General VS Albrisque
As the two began to fight, the other girls and I were riding the ladder up. I saw Albrisque waving his weapon and charging forward, the momentum of his double-headed greatsword incredibly fierce.
However, the Major General seemed to see through Albrisque’s weakness at a glance and thrust his spear, hitting the point where Albrisque was generating force with his double-headed greatsword, pushing Albrisque back.
Weapons like the double-headed greatsword are quite flashy and require constant rotation to use. Not only must the weapon be rotated casually, but the user’s body must also rotate, using the power of the waist and abdomen to drive the heavy weapon.
If used smoothly and entering one’s own rhythm, it would be like flowing water, with the front and back blades continuously slashing at the enemy with the body’s movement, forming a storm-like attack.
It is especially effective against large monsters, as the huge blades are sufficient to tear through their outer skin. The next blow landing on the same spot causes a tearing wound, preventing the monster’s high-speed regeneration.
Therefore, the double-headed sword is a weapon that excels at combos and has innate finishing effects. If used well, the offense would be continuous. However, if the opponent is intelligent and can observe the technique, such large and sweeping weapons have many openings.
Just like now, the Major General’s simple thrust blocked Albrisque’s first wave of attack. Albrisque immediately spun and leaped to another direction, attempting to attack again, but was once again forced back by the spear.
“Albrisque isn’t doing well. Wasn’t he very strong before?” Via frowned and said. We had previously evaluated Albrisque’s Combat Power; he was very strong, and none of us were confident in winning against him in a one-on-one fight. How could he seem so weak now?
“His swordsmanship is actually decent, but his opponent is stronger. That spear thrust was very solid, and he’s also at a disadvantage due to his weapon not being long enough,” Bailing Ding commented.
She was a master of Swordplay, and although her main focus was the rapier, she had a thorough and relatively comprehensive understanding of weapons.
Actually, even someone who hadn’t systematically studied weapon theory could see where Albrisque was at a disadvantage: the length of his weapon.
As the saying goes, an inch longer, an inch stronger. This Super Long Spear was a weapon for battle formations, and it was indeed long enough. Three and a half meters far exceeded the attack range of the double-headed greatsword.
“Actually, when dealing with super long weapons, they are generally inconvenient to move. You can use speed to cut into their inner range and restrict their weapon from directly attacking the main body. Staying on the outside will only result in passively taking hits,” Bailing Ding added.
“That’s easier said than done. Can you charge in?” Giselle said with a sarcastic laugh.
“Well, I can’t do that. His spear is too fast, and it has no openings,” Bailing Ding said honestly after a moment of stunned silence.
I had seen Bailing Ding’s speed; she was also a speed-type fighter. Her charging speed was extremely fast, and during her thrusts, her figure often couldn’t even be seen before she appeared in front of the enemy.
But that was, after all, only the level of underground fighting and bodyguard work. Bailing Ding’s Swordplay was still the noble rapier learned in the court, and it couldn’t compare to a soldier who had experienced many battles.
The rapier and the Super Long Spear both belonged to the thrusting weapon category, and the latter far surpassed the rapier in terms of length and weight alone. It would be difficult to compensate for this weapon disparity based on the user’s strength.
In fact, the Major General’s speed was not slow at all. Albrisque knew what Bailing Ding knew. Seeing his weapon being countered by the Major General, he also attempted a speed breakthrough.
Albrisque’s speed was far faster than Bailing Ding’s. His entire body lit up with lightning, and when he ran, all that could be seen was a streak of lightning constantly circling the Major General, attacking from various angles. He could attempt four or five attacks in one second.
The Major General, wielding his spear, had drawn a circle around himself; anything within a three-meter radius was his defense zone. Every time Albrisque attempted to invade, he would be struck away by a spear thrust.
The spear, more than three meters long, seemed like a whip in the Major General’s hand, with no sense of weight or resistance. Moreover, he wasn’t standing still and solely defending, but actively closing in on Albrisque, constantly attacking and forcing him to reposition.
Just as the two were fighting fiercely, the ladder reached the rooftop. As we entered the VIP room, we couldn’t help but look at the battle outside the window. Suddenly, we heard a somewhat hoarse but excited male voice from inside the room: “Doctor Parul, you’re here?”
“Hmm?” It only then occurred to me that we were here to see Safah. I saw him sitting on a sofa, dressed in a suit for the elderly. His beard and hair seemed to have been recently trimmed, making him appear spirited. He held a scepter inlaid with a red Gemstone.
Elena was standing behind him, but after looking around for two confused rounds, I didn’t see his familiar wheelchair in the room. I couldn’t help but ask him in surprise, “Mr. Safah, you can walk now?”
“Of course, hahaha, this is thanks to Doctor Parul and the treatment from Doctor Amelia. I haven’t felt the sensation of my legs being free for a long time!” Safah said, wanting to stand up on his own.
His legs trembled, still very unsteady. Elena quickly helped him up. With Elena’s assistance, he really stood up, leaning on a Cane and standing in the middle of the room.
Amazing! Although I performed the surgery myself, I was still quite surprised to see him stand up so quickly. I had originally predicted that he would need at least a month of rest.
Besides his strong will to stand up, Amelia’s recovery treatment was also very important. She managed to restore his leg muscles to a normal level in just over a week.
“I’ve always wanted to formally thank you, but I haven’t had many opportunities. After all, I was still in a recovery state before, and I felt embarrassed to trouble Doctor Parul,” Safah said sincerely.
“But Elena and Bailing Ding came up with an idea. They said since Jayad is participating in the competition, Doctor Parul would definitely be here to watch, and it would be much easier to find someone in the Audience seat then.” Safah smiled again.
“I see. Then you don’t need to be so formal. I accept your gratitude.” Just as I was about to say a few polite words, there was a deafening roar of cheers from the Audience seat.
What happened? I turned my head and saw Albrisque being sent flying by a spear thrust from the Major General. His defensive posture was broken by the spear, and he almost lost his balance.
The Major General immediately pursued. He flicked his spear, sending out dozens of spear shadows, all thrusting towards Albrisque. Albrisque spun his double-headed greatsword like an electric fan, forming a lightning shield in front of him, which blocked the fierce barrage of consecutive thrusts.
“That person must be Jayad’s enemy. He looks like he’s about to lose,” Safah said, unexpectedly understanding even this.
