A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 569 Tough
"Death fight?"

"No."

"Do I need to turn on safe mode?"

"unnecessary."

"Should the fighting room be made public?"

"Not open to the public."

"Does the referee need to intervene?"

"unnecessary."

"Do you need to apply for weapons?"

"If you want, please give me a giant two-handed hammer."

After a formal question-and-answer session, the staff of the arena took out a 2.2-meter-long metal hammer from somewhere and handed it to Roche.

Roche took the hammer and weighed it, finding it a bit heavy, but still quite handy, so he thanked the staff.

The staff member gave Roche the hammer, jumped down from the stands, and left the room directly, leaving Roche and Leon alone.

After the staff left, Roche returned to Lyon carrying the hammer.

"Get ready to start. I won't attack first, but I will counterattack based on your attacks. Your goal is to attack me as much as possible and survive my counterattacks."

After briefly explaining the content of the assessment, Roche jumped onto the ring and stood quietly in the center, waiting for Leon.

"Are there any restrictions on fighting methods? For example, using some specific props or abilities?" Leon also jumped onto the ring and asked Roche.

"Of course you can. You can even use a bomb. Don't worry, the ground here is very solid and won't be easily destroyed." Roche thought of the super bombs stored by Lyon and said jokingly, "I just want to remind you not to hurt yourself."

"Forget it, let's fight seriously. I want you to help me estimate my current physical strength. Let's fight normally."

Lyon smiled when he heard that, then he thought that this was not a life-and-death duel, so there was no need to reveal all his cards, it would be fine to just use all his strength to fight.

"Then come on."

Roche held the sledgehammer in his hand at an angle and urged Leon.

Lyon nodded, took out the Galaxy Watermelon Knife, and then extended it into a one-meter-five long knife. He held it in one hand, took a deep breath, and then suddenly pounced towards Roche.

The speed was very fast and the burst was very strong. In just two steps, Lyon crossed a distance of seven meters. While being surprised at the variability of Lyon's Galaxy weapon, Roche also saw from Lyon's starting action that this kid had excellent physical strength.

"Interesting." Roche had a smile on his face, then placed the hammer head beside his feet, exerted force with his waist, raised his right hand, and leaned his body sideways to avoid Lyon's straight blade. At the moment the giant hammer was lifted up, it happened to intercept Lyon.

If he continued to rush forward, Lyon might be hit directly by the hammer, so Lyon did not continue to rush forward. Instead, before he got close to the attack range of Roche's hammer, he leaned over and rolled sideways, going around to his right hand.

While the heavy weapon was powerful, its length and inertia made its attack very slow, so Lyon intended to take advantage of the opening left by Roche's hammer raise to break through. However, Roche was no pushover. Facing Lyon's incoming blade, he paused his upward thrust and flipped his hands over the handle. Roche actually managed to wield the two-handed hammer like a club flower, the flipped hammerhead directly blocking Lyon's incoming blade.

"clang"

A crisp sound of metal collision echoed in the ring. Lyon directly put the Galaxy Watermelon Knife into his backpack and rolled to the right to release the force fed back to the blade by Roche's hammer.

The first thing Leon did after turning over was to pull out his Galaxy Watermelon Knife again. Feeling the slight tearing sensation coming from his tiger's mouth, he sighed, "A head-on confrontation with heavy weapons is indeed very fierce."

"Yes, it is a power weapon after all. You chose the starting point and the timing of the attack very well. You knew the hard time to catch my attack and the blind spot of the attack, but you ignored my own strength and power. So in battle, never underestimate your opponent." Roche taught Leon with a smile.

"Then I'll come too."

It was obvious that sneak attacks and sudden attacks could not pose an effective threat to Roche, so Lyon held the handle of the Galaxy Watermelon Knife with both hands. At this moment, the length and width of the Galaxy Watermelon Knife were extended again.

In an instant, a giant broadsword more than three meters long and half a meter wide took shape in Leon's hand. The blade, which was more than one meter longer than Leon, dragged on the ground, looking very fierce.

"The characteristics of your Galaxy Weapon are really outrageous. It's hard to imagine that it was a short and narrow rectangular blade before." Roche looked at the broadsword in Lyon's hand, which was even more outrageous than his own two-handed hammer, and finally couldn't help but sigh.

"But a giant blade isn't easy to wield. If you wield it with brute force, your strength will be drained within a minute or two. I appreciate your head-on approach, but bigger isn't always better. The best weapon is the one that suits you best."

"You'll know if you try it."

Lyon teased Roche with a smile, and then the broadsword suddenly shrank at this moment. Lyon then rushed towards Roche again with the shrunken Galaxy Watermelon Knife, and suddenly jumped up before reaching the attack range of Roche's giant hammer.

At the same time, the long-sword-style Galaxy Watermelon Knife in Lyon's hand swelled up into the previous broadsword in the wind. Under the inertia and the sudden increase in his own weight, Lyon raised the broadsword high like a cannonball and slashed at Roche fiercely.

"Hahaha, interesting. This sudden change in special effects during battle is indeed a good tactic."

Roche laughed loudly, then took a horse stance, bent his knees to stabilize his lower body, then exerted force from his waist. The muscles in his arms suddenly swelled at this moment, and he swung his double-handed hammers to meet the broadsword that was chopping towards him.

"clang!"

The sound of the clash, even sharper and more piercing than before, resounded throughout the arena. Lyon's downward strike was directly blocked by Roche, and the rebound force caused Lyon to fly several meters away in the air.

Fortunately, Leon put the broadsword into his backpack in time, somersaulted twice in the air, and finally did a backflip before landing, finally releasing all the force.

Roche was not having a good time either. The force of this blow was much stronger than he had imagined. One of his legs, which had been bent before, was forced to kneel on one knee. His hands holding the sledgehammer were shaking, his arms were numb from the shock, and his chest was stuffy.

"This kid has great strength."

The first thing Roche did when he stood up was to take several deep breaths, expel the turbid air in his chest, and adjust his state.

But Lyon didn't intend to stop there. The moment Roche stood up, he took out the Galaxy Watermelon Knife again and rushed towards Roche.

Twisting his waist, the Galaxy Watermelon Knife in his hand suddenly expanded again. Lyon turned towards Roche with the broadsword like a whirlwind. The wind pressure brought by the heavy and thick blade blew Roche's clothes, and the dull sound of breaking through the air made Roche understand that if he could not block such a knife force, he would be cut in half.
