Regardless of what others thought, according to the rules, Tuck accepted the duel, and the conditions for the duel between Esdeath and him had been met.
As a warrior tribe, the process of a duel could not be obstructed.
“Lady Esdeath should be fine, right?” Safi muttered.
Compared to the two of them, Rune was full of confidence in Esdeath: “There absolutely won’t be any problems.
Lady Esdeath is super powerful.”
The three of them had been going out hunting with Esdeath for several months and naturally knew her strength, but since the opponent was the long-renowned Tuck, they couldn’t help but worry.
However, for the others, they favored Tuck more.
After all, Tuck could hunt a Level 2 Danger Beast alone, while their impression of Esdeath was still stuck in the memory of her and the three, including Ibia, working together to capture a Level 2 Danger Beast.
After all, Esdeath always chose her days off to go out with the three of them to hunt Danger Beasts across the mountains and plains, so others in the tribe had no way of seeing her true strength.
Alei stepped forward and said: “This is a critical time.
It is normal for young people to have disputes of pride, but I hope you will not use weapons; save your strength for the enemies.”
This was a hint for the two not to use blades, and regardless of who won, it should end once the point was made.
“No problem.”
Esdeath took off the blue and white headband from her head and vaulted into the dueling enclosure.
The 2.3-meter-tall Tuck and the 1.65-meter-tall Esdeath looked completely out of each other’s weight class in terms of height and weight.
However, Tuck was already eighteen, while Esdeath was not yet thirteen and still had room to grow.
Once she entered the battlefield, Esdeath’s gaze unconsciously locked onto Tuck’s eyes, head, heart, and other fatal areas.
This was a habit from long-term combat and hunting of Danger Beasts; to hunt massive Danger Beasts with a human body, one would always choose to attack the weak points first.
However, Father said that she couldn’t take any lives, so…
Esdeath shifted her gaze away from Tuck’s eyes, throat, and other areas.
Just beating him until he couldn’t get up would be enough.
Esdeath launched the attack first.
She didn’t hold back at all, exerting her full speed, and in the blink of an eye, she arrived at Tuck’s side.
Tuck didn’t react at all, his eyes still looking forward.
Esdeath gave a mocking smile: “You guy, you can’t even keep up with my speed.
Is this really okay?”
It wasn’t until the voice sounded by his ear that Tuck noticed something and turned his head, but by then, Esdeath’s attack had already arrived.
With a flying kick, Esdeath used Power Burst.
Under the addition of double strength, the burly man Tuck was kicked away by Esdeath like a ball, soaring more than ten meters into the air before crashing directly into the fence.
Exclamations and cheers immediately erupted from the tribespeople.
They didn’t care about anything else; as long as they could witness the martial prowess of the strong, they would cheer.
Tuck climbed up.
His body was also very tough; after taking a kick from Esdeath, he was actually like nothing had happened.
This kick had clearly angered him, and like a fierce bull, he charged towards Esdeath.
“Too slow.
I can see it clearly.”
Esdeath turned around and easily dodged it, then kicked Tuck away again.
This time he smashed into the fence on the other side.
Tuck still wouldn’t give up; he climbed up and continued to launch attacks at Esdeath.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Tuck was like a bull with no intelligence and no fear, furiously rushing at Esdeath again and again, only to be kicked away like a ball, until he could no longer get up.
Esdeath raised her right hand to cheer for her victory, her face full of high spirits: “I won!”
At this moment, the victor was the center of attention, and Esdeath clearly liked this feeling.
“Lady Esdeath is so cool!” Safi’s eyes sparkled.
As Esdeath’s subordinates, Ibia and Rune also felt a sense of honor, holding their heads high.
Only the Head Elder had an ashen face; he had people carry Tuck away and then left the scene.
The system appeared at the right moment: “Mission complete.
Reward: Blood Shadow Movement Technique.”
Esdeath picked up the Blood-Drinking Mad Blade placed to the side, feeling as if an inexplicable, special power was connecting her to this weapon.
Blood Shadow Movement Technique, looking at the description, was a martial art that grew stronger the more one fought.
As long as one injured the enemy, one could increase speed tenfold; it was too practical.
If used to fight Danger Beasts with strength above her own, as long as she scratched their skin, she could rely on speed to keep entangling them, grinding them to death one slash at a time.
The system’s voice did not stop and issued a new mission: “As a villain, you not only need the martial prowess to deter others, but you must also possess the warmth that can make people willingly follow you.
Help your tribespeople, and let the tribespeople feel the warmth you bring.
Complete the mission to be rewarded with 50 villain points.”
Esdeath was happy because she had won the battle and learned the Blood Shadow Movement Technique.
Hearing this mission, she didn’t think much about it and immediately pondered how to do it.
Let the tribespeople feel warmth.
In short, helping them should do it.
The next day, after waking up, Esdeath wandered around the tribe, looking for tribespeople who needed help.
“Uncle Hanba is preparing firewood for cooking.
Leave it to me; you go cut the meat first.”
Esdeath picked up an axe, and with a few swift chops, she split the piece of wood in front of her into four smaller pieces suitable for burning.
The mountain of firewood piled to the side was all chopped by Esdeath in less than half an hour.
After finishing the firewood, Esdeath helped Aunt Cuisha, who raised horses, move fodder and beans, and went to the river to carry water.
In one morning, Esdeath helped do all these miscellaneous chores in the tribe.
The others didn’t dare to say anything, feeling apprehensive.
You have to know that the people from the Hunting Team had always been high and mighty; it was good enough that they didn’t pick on them, but for her to actually take the initiative to help with work was the first time these uncles and aunts had ever encountered such a thing.
This was really too strange, because yesterday the tribe was still spreading rumors that Esdeath was a female demon, just because she beat Tuck up after he confessed to her, that she was moody and had a very strange temper.
After helping the tribespeople with miscellaneous chores for a week, Esdeath slowly got to know them.
The logistics team members discovered that Esdeath was indeed different from Tuck and the others; when she was free, she was very easy to get along with, would reply when chatting with her, and wouldn’t look at them with a high-and-mighty gaze.
“Esdeath is really a good child.”
“Those people are really talking nonsense, even saying that Esdeath was killing people indiscriminately in the town, cutting anyone she saw.
How could such a cute, smart, and diligent child be a female demon?”
“I think Tuck definitely couldn’t win Esdeath over, so he deliberately spoke ill of her.”
Esdeath felt that the evaluation of her by some people in the tribe had clearly changed, and she nodded with satisfaction: “System, I’ve completed the mission now, right?”
“Ding, mission complete.
Reward: 50 villain points.”
After thinking about it, Esdeath exchanged all 50 villain points for strength attributes and added them to herself.
