Chapter 2024: Decisive Victory in the Ring (17)
Moving at high speeds and sweeping in a wide area with a long-handled weapon, Zhalfir's tactics were perfect.
What's more, the ground was frozen and turned into a piece of ice, and Palamides could not run freely on the ice, and the tide of battle was reversed in an instant, from one in his favor to one that was extremely unfavorable to him.
Palamidas, who had not thought of a way to crack it for a while, planned to stand there and wait and see. Zhalfir has also attacked, and it will be more dangerous for Palamides to run around and dodge, so let's concentrate on taking the first blow of the leopard man.
Boom! Palamides waved the Mithril steel claw in his hand and flicked off the oncoming long blade. Despite Zhalfir's fast movement speed and the fact that the longbow is a very threatening polearm, Zhalfir's attacks are somewhat monotonous, allowing him to easily see and catch the Leopard warriors. It's a piece of cake to block this kind of attack.
However, as his feet slipped on the ice, Palamides slid backwards for a long distance immediately after parrying, barely falling. He relied on his amazing body balance to force his body steady.
Without waiting for his father to gain a foothold, Zhalfir attacked from the other side again, still with the same kind of sweeping attack from a wide range of ups and downs, and the range of the attack was always just enough to hit Palamides, but the leopard warriors had no room to fight back. The length advantage of the Black Moon Shengang Changyue was brought into full play by him!
"Uh-huh------" The leopard warrior forced a block again, then grunted and was knocked into the air, slipping about twenty feet on the ice before barely stopping and steady.
After these two rounds, he only blocked, and did not even have a chance to fight back. The length of the longarm protected Zhalfir, and the young leopard man was far beyond the reach of his father's claws, safe. Normally, Palamides could rely on his speed advantage to suddenly accelerate and rush over to fight Zhalfir in hand-to-hand combat, but now the ice has made the leopard warriors suffer, and their mobility has greatly decreased.
On Zhalfir's side, the speed was as fast as a meteor. He didn't need to run on his own legs at all, and his movement and acceleration were entirely dependent on the Luna Steel Shield, which turned into skis. The sleek Luna steel shield weaves back and forth on the ice, making it silky smooth and unmistakable as real skis. Of course, this also has a lot to do with the manipulation technology of the operator, the long weapon in Zhalfir's hand is not just a weapon, this long-handled weapon can also play the role of a pole at a critical time, as long as the force is applied to the ground, it can make the Luna steel shield deflect quickly.
Palamides wondered where that stinky boy had learned his skiing skills. Normally, the hometown of the leopard people, Glick, is located in the subtropics, and most of the leopard people have never seen ice and snow in their lives, and it is unlikely that they will have the opportunity to play skiing. But Palamides thought that Zhalfir and Szeded had spent most of the past seven years in the Turkic Everglades, perhaps like there were similar movements on the people's side.
Wait, really? Can the elephants have a way to step on similar skateboards and glide through the moor? Like people's weight, it's good to step on a skateboard and not break it, but it's weird to be able to skate.
However, there are some things that Palamides simply does not know, and Zhalfir and Segrade did play a similar "sport", right in the Turks.
They didn't create it themselves, they just learned it. In the deepest part of the Turkic Everglades, there are several bottomless muddy fields that even elephant people would not normally dare to enter. These marshes are natural death traps, and people can't overcome their depths, no matter how tall they are, and they usually have to be avoided. The heavier the creatures, the more disadvantageous it is to move in this terrain, stepping on the mud for a moment and sinking into it, and eventually being dragged to the bottom of the bottomless and absolutely impossible to break free from and suffocating to death.
However, it is in this dangerous quagmire that dozens of the rarest herbs grow, isolated from the rest of the world, untouched by outside creatures, and of great medicinal value. Some elephant people who seek high levels of violence often risk their lives to go into the quagmire of death to collect medicine, and they do so by using giant planks several times the surface area of their own bodies to make tools like small rafts to cross the quagmire of death. The mire is sticky and thick, and if you walk into it normally, you will inevitably sink into it, but the contact area between the raft and the mire is large, and it is supported by the tension on the surface of the mire, which is enough to lift even the people who weigh so much. The elephants lay on these rafts, paddling the surface of the mire with their hands and feet or other tools, moving slowly through the bog of death until they reached the medicine they were about to collect.
Zhalfir and Segrade, who had been raised by elephant people, improved this method of collecting herbs, using their own weight advantage to make the raft even lighter, adding an earthen propulsion device behind the raft and turning the small raft into their own moorboard skateboard. After a long period of experimentation and practice, the two young leopard men were able to skillfully use the skateboard to move freely through the dangerous death moor, coming and going freely, and moving more freely than any elephant man.
Now Zhalfir is just applying the skills he used to survive in the Turkic Everglades to the battlefield.
"Uh-huh......!" Zhalfir attacked several times in succession, and Palamides was a little overwhelmed. My feet were so slippery that I couldn't walk. Even if you stand in place to block the attack, you still need to turn, but Palamides's deflection performance on the ice is not ideal, and seeing Zhalfir attacking from a distance, the big cat turns in time to adjust his stance to block, which is already a very reluctant thing.
It has to be said that this game gave Zhalfir a huge advantage, and this advantage does not rely on anything else to regain it, and Palamides will definitely lose.
Although Palamides didn't want to use that when he was playing against his son, and using it wasn't much different from cheating, he really didn't have a choice now.
Hiss. There was a slight change under the soles of his feet. As an emerald knight, Palamides is free to modify his body------ albeit only microscopically and mildly. He created a large number of barbed spikes on the pads of his feet to increase the grip of the balls. Once the number of spikes increased, it formed a kind of separation between the plate of his feet and the ground, and the cold of the ice did not erode the soles of his feet so badly.
This is similar to the principle of spicy skates that people commonly use, with which they can move on the ice without slipping------ or at least reduce the phenomenon of slipping. At the moment when Zhalfir attacked again, Palamides adjusted his posture and aimed at the oncoming Black Moon God Steel Changyue and waved his steel claws!
This time the block was significantly more powerful, and after the parry, Palamides should have slid clumsily backwards, but this time there was almost none, only sliding slightly for about three yards before stopping.
"Dad, you're finally getting serious, meow. Zhalfir then said.
"Are you looking forward to this?" asked Palamides.
"Of course meow. The leopard man youth had already slid more than a dozen yards away at this moment, but he held up the long Yue and shouted, "I told you, this is my battle meow with Segrade." We have to combine the wisdom and skills of the two of us to win the battle against Daddy and your meow. If you don't show all your strength, even if you win, you won't be interested. So hurry up and do it, meow, take out all you have, and have a good meow with us!"
"I understand the truth, but every word you say is followed by a meow, and I really can't take it seriously...... Palamides complained.
"Long-winded!" the Luna steel skateboard on Zhalfir's feet suddenly burst into an even more intense light, and it made an unexpected acceleration through the injectors of the plug-in system, and Zhalfir's whole body crashed towards Palamides like a gust of wind. This speed was no slower than that of Palamides without the restrictions of the Demon Sealing Bracelet, and the sonic boom emitted at that moment indicated that Zhalfir should be approaching or reaching the speed of sound, right?!
Oops! This blow can't be eaten hard, even if it's the Mithril Steel Claw, under that kind of powerful impact, the Luna Steel will definitely be damaged------ Mithril's hardness is actually inferior to the Luna Steel!
Since he can't block hard, he can only ------
Whoosh!------ Zhalfir crashed into it like a raging storm, and he had already made a very violent impact or slash with his long axe. However, he didn't feel the real hit, and the attack seemed to miss.
"Huh?" the leopard man snorted, glancing back.
Palamides dodged the attack at the last moment. With his current mobility on the ice, this would not have been possible. However, it actually happened------ the leopard-man warrior used the launched Mithril steel claws to grab the ice and drag himself rapidly, adding to the countless spikes on his feet, allowing him to accelerate smoothly and suddenly to the side in an instant, thus avoiding the sonic onslaught of Zhalfir.
"Awesome. Sure enough, it's Daddy Meow. Zhalfir then said, "But what if you hide once?
As soon as the words fell, Zhalfir once again stomped the Luna Steel Ice Skateboard under his feet, and it once again burst out with a shockwave to accelerate sharply, while Zhalfir frantically waved his long sword and swept towards Palamides! He didn't need any exquisite combat skills at all, with this absolute speed advantage and weapon length advantage, it was almost inevitable to suppress his opponent on this ice surface!
"I really can't keep hiding from this. So------" Paramides saw the orbit of Zhalfir's attack, and suddenly jumped up!
Something seemed to glow golden from his back.
