235. Duel in front of the tavern

That's not invisibility!

Standing in front of the tavern, Nebet's hair was erected, and he saw the mysterious swordsman "teleporting" from a distance to the main road, hundreds of soldiers were wiped out in an instant, and everyone's wounds were caused by his sword, and the high-quality Valkyrie steel sword...

“... What kind of person are you!? Nebet's round glasses were sleek, but he didn't push and help, but chanted a spell inside himself, ready to add a strong shield to himself.

Behind him were the frightened crowds of the tavern, who had tried their luck individually and slipped through the window.

On the other side, Brooks, the orc, looked back in surprise, shocked at the plight of the group, but Nebet's glance showed that he should leave him alone.

She is already very close to the princess, and she is the priority target right now.

Brooks threw a spinning axe and pointed it at the neck of the watchman on horseback.

Watchmoon remembered the Guardian Form's reminder that the katana could not stop the axe, that it was not an enemy that could go head-to-head, and that there was not a single butterfly in its path. So she took the first step and buried her head down, estimating that if she dodged to the limit, the axe would brush against her hair - if she was lucky.

But it was Xia Zuo who took the lead before she buried his head, he didn't respond to Nebet's words, "teleported" to protect the watchman, and the speed was so fast that he was already holding the summoned thunder blade, and the original weapon was loaded into his bag. Consciousness can't keep up with the speed of movement, but a single movement is swift and invisible to the naked eye.

Sword-shaped thunder blade, with lightning attribute slashing and cracking magic on the edge, and most attacks, including magic, can be bounced off on the side.

"Auto-dodge" allows Xia Zuo to easily connect the axe with his side and bounce back in the direction of the orc.

The axe was still the speed of the orc's throw, and he reacted in time to catch it, otherwise he would have to hit his head.

At this moment, Xia Zuo stood in place, and the counterattack was not triggered, because the target of the half-orc's attack was to watch the moon, and the hostility that arose at that time was not on Xia Zuo.

Xia Zuo stood in the way, and although he killed all the soldiers in an instant, Brooks, the orc, didn't think it was a reason for him to back down.

Seeing that Xia Zuo was full of flaws, Brooks stepped forward and swung his axe down - aiming at Xia Zuo's shoulder, Brooks' favorite point of attack, he could see that the enemy was unloaded and would not die immediately.

With the sound of sparks, the blade of the axe, which was about to touch Xia's left shoulder, seemed to be bounced away by something invisible—because it was too fast.

When Brooks noticed, Xia Zuo had changed from a flawed standing posture to a posture of swinging his sword upward, as if time was jumping for a short time, when did he make the move?

The right arm that clenched the axe was lifted high, revealing Brooks' left shoulder, which was also the position where Brooks attacked Xia's left.

With a pop, the orc's left shoulder splattered with blood mist, and a large hole was split vertically, and the severed collarbone and rib cuts were clearly visible. This also separates the brain's control nerve over the right hand, and the axe on the right can't help but loosen its hand.

This didn't kill him directly, Brooks gritted his teeth and endured the pain, snorted, only to realize that Xia Zuo had already raised the sword posture from above, and instantly jumped to the downward swing posture, and there was no transition between these two movements at all...

Confused by the dense clouds of battle, Brooks fell to the ground so hard that it crushed the soil to the ground.

Isn't that the enemy, the ultimate commission from Mentor Sangilf? Shouyue watched silently, and the humanoid form stood by his side.

Brooks fell, and the moment he touched the ground, he rolled to his feet, despite the massive bleeding from the wound, because when he stood up, a burst of green light spread down from the wound and healed him.

It was the result of a spell cast by Nebet in the distance, who had already shielded himself with a layer of wind-type shield, and now waved his staff to assist Brooks.

Xia Zuo summoned another thunder spear and threw it at Nebet, the speed of the thunder blade did not decrease after leaving his hand, and with the rapid wave of his hand, the thunder spear hit the wind's shield at a speed that almost disappeared.

However, the projectile moves the same as its own - it does not increase the kinetic energy due to extreme speed, otherwise the user's body of the "Sword Breaker" will not be able to stop easily, which is only equivalent to the faster time between the user and the projectile, which also makes the throwing of the thunder spear not increase in power due to the extremely fast speed, and the attack power is still based on Xia Zuo's own attack power and summoning weapon bonus.

The Wind attribute regulates the Thunder attribute, which only causes a piercing of the wind shield. The speed of the thunderspear that touched the object was drastically reduced, and it only stabbed Nebet in the chest, causing a small wound, and Nebet also took a step back to hold the wall in sharp pain.

A very high level of wind shield...? Xia Zuo cast a complaining look, feeling that if it wasn't close to the full level, he wouldn't be able to prevent his throw.

Five seconds were up, and the thunderspear that had stabbed Nebet vanished. He immediately healed himself, and it was no big deal.

Before arriving at that time, Brooks launched a new operation, and he judged that Xia Zuo's movements were too fast, so he used his free right hand to try to hold him.

The huge half-orc giant palm was aimed at Xia Zuo's neck, and it was about to be captured.

In the past, dodges and counterattacks with limited speed conditions would be dodged at this moment and give the nearest attack with the same damage to the palm, but now the speed conditions meet any conditions. Brooks aimed at Xia Zuo's neck, Xia Zuo teleported two steps forward, approaching Brooks, and the latter's grappling hand was inexplicably in Xia Zuo's shoulder position.

The swing of the sword, which no one saw, left Brooks with a shallow wound in the neck, and his large grip was not enough to be fatal.

Brooks clutched his throat, and was quickly reconstituted by the healing circle that had not yet failed.

Even though Nebet, who was watching from afar, was concentrating on countermeasures, and noticed this... As the soldiers shoot the mysterious swordsman, they aim for the deadly part.

What happened next is there for all to see - all the soldiers were killed.

Brooks was certainly a lot tougher than the average soldier, but the mysterious swordsman never gave him a single fatal wound, even though the mysterious swordsman was surprisingly fast. When Brooks attacks him on the left shoulder, the mysterious swordsman responds to the left shoulder, Brooks grabs the neck, and the mysterious swordsman responds to the neck... Is that why Brooks hasn't suffered a fatal blow so far...?

"Brooks ——!" Nebet suddenly shouted, "Don't kill him! Give me a mouthful of life, and I'll heal your wounds!" ”

At the same time, Nebet casts a spell on Brooks called "Shared Vision", which allows the caster to gain visual information from their companions when they are recognized as allies.

In Nebet's mind, there was an additional image, which was the picture that Brooks saw, only to see Xia Zuo standing in front of him who had almost no intention of attacking, and every previous attack was a response from the other party... In this way, Nebet was able to more intuitively confirm this, and the speed and attack of the mysterious swordsman were related to the attack on him - the equivalent of a retaliatory counterattack.

Brooks listened to the order, picked up the axe, and attacked the parts that would only cripple Xia Zuo, but would not kill him, his hands, feet, waist, shoulders...

Brooks was counterattacked and fell down again and again, and stood up again and again by unfinished healing spells, and each time he attacked the opponent, it was exactly the same as the part that was fought back by the opponent.
