( 當初四大劍士中，碩果僅存的死亡劍士，趕往公園這邊，想要為童天雷分攤一點壓力，好把伊凡斯的命給留下來 )
等到戰神伊凡斯把桌上的蛋糕掃進肚裡，又像牛飲一般一口喝乾了整杯咖啡，他順手抓了幾張咖啡廳提供的上好紙巾，擦擦嘴，順便抹了一把臉，然後抓起那根綠竹鞭，站了起來。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBhBFoFM78
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqngVux9D2
他看著童天雷，語氣簡單而直接：「希望你別讓我失望。」54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZT3K3YWHV
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eEzkmLSTg
童天雷也剛好放下空杯，跟著起身，回嘴道：「這句話應該我說才對。你在外頭浪蕩這麼久，鬼知道有沒有荒廢武藝。希望別撐不過幾招就被我打得滿地找牙，否則失望的可就是我了。」54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡul7cqYsVZC
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jjkwYJIru
伊凡斯哈哈大笑，轉身就往牆角那處他親手打破的缺口走了出去。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgV70NPdJr
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxs97jFBpRj
童天雷則先走向一旁的店長結帳，才大步跟了上去。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6CFFU9xQJ
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMCFYOxDmJ
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgJd7oUyLT
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkXoNxlihU
這家名為「星戰」的連鎖咖啡廳旁邊正好就是一處市政公園。公園中央是一片開闊的大草地，簡直像是為格鬥量身打造。伊凡斯自然不客氣，直奔草地而去。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKSOzZtIvj
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFajfyN48pE
他的粗壯身影與傳說戰績早已傳遍烏托邦。自從他突破山壁缺口、連斬四名劍士，官方便立即將他的影像全域廣播，因此他才剛踏入草地，四周的市民便已認出這尊殺神，紛紛拉著孩子閃得遠遠的。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMtJcPEU83
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKv4endHh7i
童天雷也隨後走進草地，伊凡斯便對他喊道：「這一仗，是為虎克、泰勒、布托三位好友報仇——你，準備好接受我的『款待』了嗎？」54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBa8Xu2J4i
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIc8rpAS0tP
話音未落，他手中綠竹鞭已如雷電般劈來。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDmBDYSFMt
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzR2QMXMSi2
童天雷則舉起那把包覆諾雅金的金黃鋼刀正面迎擊，兩人兵器一撞，發出一聲巨響！54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSZZAa9Ti5
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpgCAcH0lt
『噹！』金鐵交鳴，火星四射。接下來更是招招緊接，叮叮噹噹聲幾乎沒有半點停歇。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvvk7F86m5
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOZoWcQUpn
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NNbMWDjeb
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0AXwL0IoY
與上次的對戰不同，那時雙方互不熟悉，招式之間多有試探。而這次，他們早已熟悉彼此的節奏與風格。事實上，剛才在咖啡廳那場嘴砲，不過是雙方在心裡默默回憶對方的戰法。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4b6hEBln1
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqM8urM9hDY
如今對決開始，已無需探路，直接進入猛攻模式。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5o9Ve4CgSu
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tJ4rQkJSO
原本公園外還有不少圍觀群眾，把兩人當街頭表演在看。但隨著周圍不在攻擊範圍內的樹木也接連炸裂倒塌，甚至波及了幾名圍觀者，現場才終於騷動起來，大批人馬驚恐撤離。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCfNjxRVh8
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9dJUaQXFx
此時，烏托邦軍方也終於趕到，迅速將公園整個包圍起來。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLqGCsXpup
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRURCTjE3SJ
兩名交戰者其實早已察覺軍方動靜，只是伊凡斯的威名在外，那些軍人也不敢輕舉妄動，生怕成為第一批被打成肉泥的倒霉鬼。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VNIdmpNjM
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYikugeBrU
直到有人發現童天雷竟能與伊凡斯正面對撼不落下風，軍方指揮官才敢下令全面封鎖現場。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQisqEsO6J

54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIktQGHHEb

在不遠處前進鎮公所門口，剛抵達的是北部軍區新任軍長——布羅琴科少將。他轉頭對直屬旅長塔西雅上校問道：「不是已經通知駿馬劍士了嗎？怎麼人還沒到？」54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthLUl0k1Rv
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVneCgg8YF
塔西雅神色緊張：「報告軍長，依時程他應該早就該到了，可至今仍無消息！」54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppf58kMwGo
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXBcf13TLZ
布羅琴科探口氣，冷聲說：「克魯曼家族的臉都快丟光了，這可是他翻身的機會。他若再錯過，別說年底選舉，連劍士身份都要保不住。」54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHHUChB0cf
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMxBeSdN2Y
駿馬劍士上回眼睜睜看著戰爭劍士陣亡，竟然縮在哨長室內不敢應戰，引起舉國公憤。連克魯曼家族也不好為他開脫。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtd3yoxkZz5
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZnvFTdejX
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIKUMMf7fc
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Z4n0scb3a
正此時，一名中校前來報告：「軍長，死亡劍士抵達！」54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAZwIw5BFD
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiAIEdoGyE
布羅琴科急忙迎上前。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHFm2AugYP
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDeC8tMckH
這位死亡劍士上回若非左手異變能力者韓妮的相助，也恐怕難逃一死。他是除了駿馬劍士以外唯一倖存的戰士。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0iEECxcsO
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9E0vutcRTK
布羅琴科少將露出久違的笑容：「長官，您不是負傷了？應該還在休養吧。」54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFy2I44PnI6
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZV0ifX6MyE
死亡劍士搖搖頭，默默走向公園邊緣，目光緊盯戰局。看了一會後才問：「駿馬劍士到了？」54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuvPqzXgrr
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCzzwiExEl
「該到了，但還沒出現。」布羅琴科一臉無奈。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DhZbuRyLA
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDm8X9Ob7T
死亡劍士聽罷臉色沉重。他心知肚明，這場戰是駿馬劍士挽救聲望的唯一機會——不論是戰勝還是戰死，重點是「出面」。現在卻遲遲未現身，簡直糟透了。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBMWWDR6NM
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKlFqVMrzV
他與駿馬劍士同屬歐格奈黨，在合理範圍內他不介意拉對方一把。但對方若表現過於離譜，牽連到自己的聲望，他也不會再出手。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEcXRD6pfI
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtuIEdHty5
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOkmiIuwO9
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQHAoKVqFU
此刻，場中戰局漸起變化。外行人或許看不出來，但死亡劍士這等高手早已察覺端倪。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlUC48QpGQ
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXphF5OsmF
方才雙方武器正面對撞連續十餘招，雖然最後一擊看似平手，但伊凡斯其實略處下風！54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplLX9pVZpH
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopMHjCczut
正因如此，伊凡斯才放棄了純力量的硬拚，改以虛招與誘敵之法應對。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDUpThckaV
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudAZu1uvKI
童天雷自然也察覺對方轉變，神情更顯從容，與伊凡斯展開游擊纏戰。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LePeKHqg1
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbC9Do6J5Uk
死亡劍士看準時機，緩緩抽出長劍，準備出手夾擊，結束這場曠世之戰。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGiUAIfif6
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWcqcnSfh8
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkUXTXNfHq
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRU0raAtBfu
但就在這時，傳令官又匆匆靠近，低聲在布羅琴科耳邊道：「軍長，總統來了！」54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3MungOL7j
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRmYNRapOw
聲音雖輕，卻沒能逃過死亡劍士的耳朵。他皺眉道：「現在這節骨眼，總統來湊什麼熱鬧？」54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3QB9mI8XX
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyMkM0JQnu
飛艇從天而降，豪華座艙在十字路口緩緩降落，禁衛軍簇擁而出。總統波嘉妮與她的丈夫率先下機，令人意外的是——駿馬劍士也赫然在列！54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu800KV53jN
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWikH0ZaKD
原來這傢伙竟是先跑去邀請總統親臨現場，好讓自己以「保護總統」之姿再度亮相。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4e8YqQU0Aq
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bH0YYbcd2
死亡劍士與布羅琴科互望一眼，眉頭深鎖。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAh4Oze4KQ
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIS9hd4AJXO
那些原本為死亡劍士與軍長準備的主位，如今全數讓給波嘉妮總統與她的配偶。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLN39J4VuRL
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48lYN4rLIs
她現年五十，年輕有為，野心勃勃。若想繼續連任，年底評比就勢在必得。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡassEsDl1qk
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3y6XTHomY
以歐格奈黨內部估算，目前與沃克黨積分差距僅有三到五萬分，極為接近。但若伊凡斯這筆大功被童天雷奪走，那『沃克』必然勝出。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cNY4lpUdF
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRANtaHfOmK
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYOvaIYkPq
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWWy1odpqk
為此，波嘉妮轉頭問死亡劍士：「戰況如何？」54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvohrQaDEmz
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCUsukB18b
「雙方交戰已逾一小時，十分鐘前伊凡斯在正面對撞中略落下風，戰局開始傾斜。」54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFqMvG70Ad
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbvlV5hUjK
波嘉妮聞言與駿馬劍士對視一眼，隨即微笑說道：「死亡劍士您尚在恢復期，這場戰就交給駿馬劍士帶罪立功吧！」54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOLmFcLNn9
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwjJyrbVFk
布羅琴科難掩狐疑：這安排未免太過明目張膽。但死亡劍士心中明白——波嘉妮與駿馬劍士皆出自克魯曼家族，若駿馬劍士失勢，整個家族恐將被清算。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstPHnxAKMF
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMKTXdb4Ew
他沒有多說，只是靜靜守在總統身旁，維護其安全。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3mD6QyN8d
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJIrepqVZq
駿馬劍士恭敬地行了個優雅的禮，然後向死亡劍士點頭致意，轉身走向戰場。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrZ32zRnJ9
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIFxHnhq48
此時場中仍是金鐵交鳴、氣浪翻湧，童天雷與伊凡斯戰得火熱，看起來依然勢均力敵，毫無敗象。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFzkjt3bkF
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zWCMHTsHS
駿馬劍士站在草地邊緣，沒有貿然出手。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRYiIZBaKM
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJO3VC1A89
他在等待——等待那致命的破綻。54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UdFN4Ia9j
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxumrEcMjy6
而這個破綻，即將出現。
這一集的新封面，便是一直想參戰的死亡劍士，及大戰中的童天雷與伊凡斯。
