47. Sharp Armor
The knight's severed arm's blood pressure gradually decreased, and healedβas it seemed to outsiders.
In fact, the coagulated blood seals the wound.
It didn't scream, it was like a painless zombie. Without surprise or fear, the knight raised his surviving other hand and attacked Xia Zuo.
Due to the retreating stance, Xia Zuo dodged this time and slashed at the knight, and jumped away from its front and back, and the action was no longer the same as the previous time.
The counter-attacking sword slashed at the section of the knight's arm, which the other party deliberately used to block.
With a thud, the wolffang's one-handed sword wiped out a spark from the coagulated blood with a flat section. I don't know where the debris of the Martian seed burned from, the one-handed sword, and the surface of the solidified blood, there is not the slightest flaw.
"It's hard." Xia Zuo exclaimed, and had retreated to a safe distance.
It turned out that the red spikes on his forehead, claws, elbows, and knees were all coagulated blood... Xia Zuo frowned, this was a magic he had never seen before, and he couldn't help but be afraid of the mysterious and unknown things.
Even after playing the game five times, there are still parts to the game that are not explored, and there is another possibility - the world has more magic than computer games.
"That magic made me feel evil thoughts," the village chief gritted his teeth and said, "It's not any righteous magic, only the demon I attacked when I was a member of the adventure party, it will give me this feeling, how can the village encounter such an enemy now..."
It's no wonder that Ola's axe will be pierced, and his wolffang's one-handed sword can easily cut off Horf's work, but it is not damaged and solidifies the blood.
With the experience of taking the initiative to attack and being tripped just now, Xia Zuo didn't rush forward again, why not rely on dodging and counterattacking, that would be more efficient.
So Xia Zuo was a little far away from the village, and after walking a few steps around the knight, he stood in place, waiting for the knight to attack.
Xia Zuo thought to himself that he had replaced the dying Aura as the target, and it seemed that the knight would prioritize attacking the most threatening enemy.
But the knight's behavior did not go as Xia Zuo wished, and it walked towards its severed arm, which had fallen on the ground not far away.
Is it trying to pick it up!? Xia Zuo realized this and had to take the initiative to catch up, obviously the knight without a hand was better to deal with, rather than waiting for it to take over.
Knights who act instinctively are in a state of optimized behavior, and it is better to consider their current combat level than to lose their arms and fight the enemy.
When Xia Zuo chased after the knight and planned to stab it in the back with his sword. Together with the village chief, Xia Zuo's active running and stabbing movements were too layman, and if he succeeded, he could also cause some damage to the knight.
Just a second before the success, more than a dozen blood pierced the knight's back, covering the back half of its body like a hedgehog.
Xia Zuo, who stabbed the sword out, noticed it, but it was too late to stop, and the automatic dodge mechanism began to correct his behavior, causing the sword path to deviate and precisely aim at the tip of the red thorn, allowing Xia Zuo to stop his forward charge.
Repelling the enemy's interference, the knight immediately grew dense spikes all over his body, and at the same time waved his arms backwards, and was once again evaded by Natsuzo's retreat.
But this time, similar to the initial knight's bull-like impact, Xia Zuo did not launch a counterattack... That's true, now counterattacking the knight who has every spike longer than the sword, Xia Zuo may also be injured, so the counterattack may not be launched.
Xia Zuo gradually realized that the launch of the counterattack may be based on feasibility and safety, and when the enemy runs away faster than himself, and there happens to be no props around to fight back, the counterattack will not be triggered.
In addition, when the counterattack has the potential to cause damage to oneself, an enemy who has become like a hedgehog like now, or the "Fire Elemental Apostle" that Xia Zuo was worried about before, will not trigger a counterattack casually.
The automatic counterattack did not consider how much damage it caused to the enemy, or even whether it could hurt the enemy, Xia Zuo couldn't help but recall the embarrassing time when he slapped the knight's armor at noon...... In short, if the premise of "Xia Zuo is safe" is met, the counterattack will be launched.
Thinking about it like this, Xia Zuo was a little relieved, and smiled slightly, even if he stepped forward three times twice to stop the knight from picking up his arm, he was forced back by the knight's attack, and there was no progress at all.
β... Excellency? The village chief gradually began to wonder, first he didn't care about what was going on and what kind of intention Xia Zuo rushed forward in the posture of a layman, and then withdrew with amazing reflexes, but he couldn't help but ask: "Why don't you use magic?" Do you want to blindly fight in close quarters? β
"I'm going to!?" Xia Zuo glanced at his shabby skill shortcut, and there was only one "Break", which was taught by the village chief before.
"..."The village chief choked for a moment, "But, you are a powerful warrior, you can't only use swordsmanship, right?" Listen to Rebecca describe the "space-based" magic you showed him, and the one you showed me in person... You should be a hidden magician! β
said that the other party can only use sword skills and maybe lift, because Xia Zuo will only show amazing reflexes when parrying the enemy's attack, and the active attack has no swordsman at all, and he can't fight back and forth at all, maybe he is a mage, and he will look better than Xia Zuo when he uses a sword, and the village chief has changed.
"Honestly, space is magic, I'll just put things in my backpack." That's not space magic, Xia Zuo said so, scratching his head with a smile, now acting like this, it's not easy to say that he actually has magic... Moreover, there is something to ask the old village chief to explain the truth, and he should be able to help.
"It's impossible..."The village chief was puzzled, because magic learning is a progressive process, and if you can master advanced and non-"replicable" space magic, you must have learned other basics and advanced magic before that.
Because it was too difficult to understand, the village chief's attention was focused on Xia Zuo's side for a while, and only then did he find that the knight had picked up his arm.
"Your Excellency, be careful!" The village chief's slightly shaky fingers turned towards the knight.
"It doesn't matter if I'm careless, my body will arrange it for me." Xia Zuo was unhurried and turned his gaze back to the knight.
I saw that the knight did not take the broken arm back, but opened his bloody mouth, tore the broken arm with his staggered teeth, and swallowed it in his stomach without chewing... Seeing that Xia Zuo was dumbfounded, the knight finished his arm in a few bites.
In the next scene, the knight's severed arm actually grew in half a second.
The HP bar on the top of the head is full.
After a few motions of his fingers, several blood-red spikes stretched out from the surface of the new arm, and at this point, the knight's whole body was surrounded by spikes of different lengths and thicknesses, which were not only armor, but also weapons.
"Roaring ββ!" Without any thoughts, it refocused on Xia Zuo and hissed angrily.
"The main problem at the moment is that I can't destroy the solid blood, if I don't destroy it, I can't cause damage," Xia Zuo turned his head and glanced at the village chief with serious eyes and said, "I need you to teach me new magic, your MP is locked by the debuff, but you still remember the spell, don't be stingy at this juncture, old village chief." β
