Chapter 2023: Decisive Victory in the Ring (16)

"Huh?!" the leopard man was shocked, he really didn't expect his father to have such an operation. This rapid and violent shield pulling action almost implied on him, but fortunately, his reaction was fast enough, and he held the Luna Steel Shield firmly before the shield was torn off by the steel claws, and at the same time, in order to avoid further deterioration of the situation, Zhalfir forcibly swung the Black Moon Steel Scimitar to remove the Mithril Steel Claw that had hooked the edge of the shield!

"Hehe------" Palamides had retreated some distance at this time due to the impact of the collision of the Luna Steel. At the end of the steel claw that was pulled apart was a steel cable made of a special material, and the steel claw was retracted at the same time as the steel cable was retracted. If the blow that pulled the shield just now was successful, with the rewinding of the steel cable, the shield in Zhalfir's hand should have flown out of his hand!

"Yes, not bad, it's pretty fast. Palamides was still grinning as he stepped away some distance.

However, this sudden shield attack is actually quite insidious, and it is not at all like the open "turn-based" battles of the knights. Attacking to the death when he finds an opportunity, regardless of whether the means are above board or not, this is Palamides' fighting style. It should be said that he will not be naïve enough to give his opponent a chance to recover from unfavorable conditions, and if he has the opportunity, of course, he will fight hard. The ruffian-turned-leopard warrior may not be elegant in fighting, but his fighting style is extremely useful.

Zhalfir couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat here. How dirty his father's methods of fighting were, he had only heard about it. In this battle between father and son, Zhalfir also expected that Palamides would attack without reservation, but he did not expect that Palamidas's offensive methods could be so insidious.

This time, Zhalfir relied on his excellent reflexes to reluctantly resolve the crisis. But there's no guarantee that the same thing will be done next time, the next time.

Anyway, the gap between him and his father is in front of him, and this is not only a gap in combat experience, but also an absolutely insurmountable gap in physical fitness and physical condition. Even if Palamides is now wearing the Demon Sealing Bracelet and has no way to reach his highest mobility as a Leopard Man, the current Zhalfir is still at an absolute disadvantage.

In order to compensate for this disadvantage, it is not enough to rely on [combat skills], what is needed is [tactics].

"Dad, do you know meow?" Zhalfir suddenly sneered and said, "Since the announcement of the draw results of this ring competition, Segrade and I have already agreed that we will combine all the talents and skills of the two of us to defeat Dad, you meow." ＂

"Oh?" the leopard warrior snorted with interest.

"So in the next game, it's not just me fighting, it's Segrade's fight. The Leopard Man Youth pulled out a bag from his tactical belt, and the soft-looking bag contained some kind of powder, most likely the magical pine resin.

"Yes, I'll see what you two imps can come up with to defeat me. The big cat sneered.

Judging from the bag of pine resin in Zhalfir's hand, it seemed that the young leopard man was trying to enchant the weapon. However, it would take time to smear the pine powder on the Black Luna Steel Scimitar, and Paramides wasn't prepared to give Zhalfir this chance to enchant. The leopard warrior had already planned that as soon as his son grabbed a handful of pine resin from his bag and was about to rub it on his weapon, he rushed over at full speed and gave Zhalfir a claw. He wants these naïve children to know what a fatal mistake it is to make other small actions on the battlefield to show flaws.

Zhalfir opened the bag and reached for the powder in the bag.

At this moment, Palamides rushed over at full speed, and the Mithril steel claw in his hand grabbed Zhalfir's face mercilessly!

If this lightning strike hits, Zhalfir will either be killed or maimed, and the battle will be over. Of course, Palamides also expected that his son would not be the kind of useless wreck, and the attack would still be dodged a little, so he attacked ruthlessly, and the final result was probably just a few scars on Zhalfir's face.

However, it seems that it was originally intended to lure Palamides to attack, and Seefer expected his father to attack from the beginning, and began to dodge the moment Palamidas's figure swayed. The sharp Mithril steel claws swept past the Leopard Youth's cheeks, but Zhalfir missed his furry leopard face perfectly because of a backward movement, and he couldn't even leave a scar on that face!

"Meow. Zhalfir suddenly sneered, canceled his reach for the bag, and instead lifted the bag full of pine resin high and tossed it into the air.

"What!?" Palamides hadn't expected his son to do this, and he couldn't see what Zhalfir was doing when he threw the bag of mana pine resin into the air. But he had a hunch that Zhalfir's plan would be revealed in half a second!

The sudden sound of the explosion alerted Palamides. Zhalfir raised his scimitar and fired diagonally upwards. More specifically, it was actually the leopard man who pulled the plug-in system on the scimitar, causing the plug-in system to shoot out a shockwave, and also emitting the kind of flower seeds that had been newly researched not long ago, what kind of fire charm flower. The flammable object exploded as soon as it was impacted, almost at zero distance to Palamides' chest!

Palamides also expected that Zhalfir might have this way of counterattacking, so he didn't use all his strength when he grabbed it with one claw, just to leave room to dodge the attack at any time. He turned around and dodged the attack that was supposed to hit him, but the blast wave and flames of the explosion shot into the sky, hitting the sack of pine resin powder that was thrown into the air!

With a bang, the bag containing the pine resin was crushed, and the pine resin in the bag flew everywhere, like a powder rain and mist. Under normal circumstances, this pine resin powder is harmless, and although it may be a little uncomfortable to inhale into the respiratory tract, it will not cause any harmful sequelae to the human body. However, it happened suddenly, and Palamides didn't understand what his son was planning to do, so he took a few steps back for the sake of caution, covering his nose to guard against it!

"Oh, Dad, you don't need to be so scared of meows. Zhalfir sneered, pulled out his Black Moon God Steel Scimitar, and stabbed it into the ground coldly: "This is not for sucking, it is for meows scattered on the ground." ＂

As his words fell, the ground began to freeze. The frozen pine resin was originally a harmless powder for humans and animals, and even if inhaled into the lungs, it would at best be enough to make people cough a few times. However, it can react with the enchantment of a specific weapon, and the moment it receives the impact of this enchanted weapon, it begins to release the magic in the pine resin, producing various effects such as fire, electric shock, and freezing. The ground that had quickly frozen immediately turned into a sheet of ice, and the pale mist spread out in all directions centered on the ground pierced by the Black Moon God's steel scimitar.

Palamides jumped up instantly, trying not to freeze his feet. And Zhalfir, on the other hand, had already used the shield as a stepping thing and stepped on the Luna steel shield.

The Luna steel shield has a special structure, and at the moment it has been stretched from the middle and turned into a rectangular shield, a bit like a snowboard. Zhalfir, on the other hand, stepped on one foot in the fixed groove and used the other foot to control the direction. The shield seemed to have some kind of suction, and it fit into the soles of Zhalfir's feet.

From the very beginning of the game, Palamides thought that the boot-like and footcloth-like thing on his son's feet was very dramatic. Only then did he realize that the special cloth boots were actually a highly cold-resistant material, and that Zhalfir had attached a strong magnet to his footboard, and the magnet was fixed after wrapping it in cold-resistant fabric. The magnet reacted with another strong magnet embedded in the Luna Steel Shield, allowing the young leopard man to stand firmly and easily on the back of the shield, while the smooth and hard surface of the shield touched the icy ground, acting like a skateboard or a sled. Zhalfir had a small special steel claw on his other foot, and the black steel claw was almost identical to his toe, and it was hard to see if you didn't look closely. A row of elongated steel claws is used to grip the ice surface and enhance the control of the skateboard.

"I know Dad, you're fast, and I'm going to lose if I'm going to lose if I'm up to you. At this time, Zhalfir had already transformed the Black Moon Divine Steel Scimitar in his hand into the Black Moon Divine Steel Long Blade------ but in fact, it had only extended its handle. In the previous battle, Zhalfir did not directly use the long sword, completely because of the speed of Palamidas, if he used the long form of the Black Moon God Steel Scimitar, there was no way to deal with the sudden close attack of the leopard warrior, and he could only use the lighter and easier to wield scimitar form. But now that the ground was frozen, and Palamides, without any anti-slip equipment, must have been greatly restricted, Zhalfir began to act unscrupulously.

"A little thought. Palamides grinned and tried to run, but his feet began to slip, and the soles of his feet on the ice began to be eroded by the cold, gradually taking over a slight numbness.

"Let's get started," Zhalfir said, "This is the real battle meow!"

The tail of the skateboard that the Luna Steel Shield turned into began to spew flames. No, not a real flame, but an excess of light from photons. The two boys, Zhalfir and Segrade, somewhere got a small photon explosion engine, installed the engine on the tail (bottom) of the shield. It is almost useful in normal times, and only in this case, when the shield is used as a sled or skateboard, will it become a powerful thruster, allowing the leopard youth to ride at high speed on a skateboard.

The smooth Luna Steel Shield has almost zero friction with the ice surface, and it has its own jet device, and it begins to slide at high speed! Standing firmly on the skateboard with a strong magnet, Zhalfir uses the skateboard to move at high speed, and at the same time wields the Black Moon Steel Long Horn, aiming at Palamides is a wide range of sweeping and slashing!
