Chapter 174: Scorching Metal

"The Great Fury" is an advanced version of the Barbarian's Berserk ability. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info +6 for strength and constitution for a certain period of time after opening, and will immunity gains +3 morale bonus, correspondingly, due to heavy offense and light defense during the berserk, the defense level will also be weakened by -2.

After Gusinski entered the Great Rage state, his strength increased from 24 to a terrifying 30, and his constitution also soared to 26, so he gained a lot of extra life, and his -2 defense was completely bearable.

Roland took a deep breath and waited for him with his sword and shield in his hands. Gusinsky's momentum is unprecedentedly high, but he is not afraid of the opponent, and the great rage has similar drawbacks to the rage - the forcible increase in combat power is difficult to last, and if you can't kill the opponent in a short period of time, you will fall into a state of fatigue, and your combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

Roland admits that he can't take advantage of the head-on duel with Gusinski, but his defense level is higher than that of the other party, and he can recover life at any time, Gusinsky wants to end the battle in a short time, and Roland is confident that he can have the last laugh.

In fact, he didn't have to wait that long, because Gusinsky was alone, and he had partners by his side.

The trident struck like a storm, and Roland calmly raised his shield to block, sometimes waving his sword to parry, holding his position and never risking a counterattack.

He was waiting for a better opportunity to make a move, and any of his companions appeared behind Gusinski and cooperated with him to form a flanking attack, and Gusinski's distraction would inevitably reveal flaws.

He thought that Veronica or Lyudmila might be in the flanking position, and in fact they did intend to do so, but to Roland's surprise, the first to appear behind Gusinski was Tonya, who was staggering and bleeding from the corner of her mouth.

Roland's gaze looked beyond Gusinski to Tonya, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Perhaps because of her bleak background, Tonya's self-esteem is particularly strong, and she always tries to do things beyond her ability, but in fact, this is a reflection of her inferiority complex deep down - only by knocking out her teeth and swallowing blood, and fighting to the end, can she prove that she, the "substitute" with the blood of a ghost woman flowing in her body, is not inferior to a pure human.

Tonya staggered closer to the battlefield and stopped thirty feet behind Gusinsky.

When Roland saw this scene, his frowning brows furrowed, and the corners of his lips flashed with a smile of relief.

Tonya is indeed stubborn, and does not hesitate to fight with injuries to prove to her companions that she is not a burden; But she also clearly realized that stubbornness was not a reason to add to the chaos, and what she wanted to do was to help rather than help. So instead of rushing at Gusinski with her bare hands, as Roland feared, she stopped at the right place and chanted a spell to invoke the divine power of nature.

Tonya's voice chanting incantations was far more threatening than her scythe to Gusinsky, and the Lizardmen King couldn't help but have a panicked look on his face. It was impossible for him to know what spell the other party was casting, and the fear that accompanied the unknown further amplified his psychological pressure, and finally he couldn't help but turn to look at Tonya.

At the same time, Tonya finished preparing to cast the spell, and a scorching energy shot out from her fingertips.

Gusinski had been preoccupied with dodging her spells, but he never dreamed that the target of Tonya's spells was not him, but the trident in his hand.

The second ring of natural magic, scorching metal!

Anyone who is unintentionally burned will instinctively shrink their hands to dodge, and Gusinsky has not escaped this creature's conditioned reflex to seek advantage and avoid harm. Realizing that the weapon in his hand suddenly became hot, he subconsciously threw it away, and when he realized that he had done something stupid, it was too late to regret it.

Roland activated his acceleration boots and rushed to Gusinski, taking advantage of the weakness to slash out a "Dark Judgment"!

Gusinski, who was bare-handed, couldn't resist Durandal at all, and his chest was slashed open by Roland's sword, and blood splattered like rain, if it weren't for the triple protection of chain mail, natural scales, and magic shields, this sword alone would have killed him.

Fortunately, Gusinski is still in a state of "Great Fury", and his temporarily improved constitution gives him an extra immunity from tenacity to resist the additional stun effect of the Dark Trial.

Roland knew that this sword was not enough to kill Gusinski, and decisively activated the "Defeat the Enemy First", and the magical energy transformed into a shining doji star looming behind him, ensuring that his next attack would definitely hit.

Gusinsky was already frightened at this time, and he didn't care if his hands were hot or not, so he hurriedly grabbed the trident to block Roland's charge.

Theoretically speaking, the trident is the nemesis of the stormtrooper, and if there is a force, there must be a reaction force, and if you hit the trident head-on during the charge, it will be like a shark hitting a harpoon, and the end can be imagined.

But Roland didn't run headlong into the Trident as Gusinski had envisioned, and he used charge tactics far more skillfully than the other party had imagined.

Halfway through the charge, Roland suddenly jumped up with a force under his feet - Heaven Jump!

After Gusinsky was surprised, he immediately adjusted the angle of the trident, and at the moment when he thought that Roland would always fall no matter how high he jumped, as long as he judged his fall trajectory in advance, the ten-foot halberd in his hand would definitely be able to cause damage before the opponent's five-foot heavy sword, which was the principle of "one inch long and one inch strong".

However, Roland once again subverted Gusinsky's cognition, and the moment he jumped to the highest point, a pair of shining dragon wings suddenly unfolded behind him, and he used the mana return of "defeating the enemy first" to gain the ability to fly.

The twin dragon wings could only last a few seconds, but they were enough for him to take off from the trident and turn over and dive straight towards Gusinsky, the heavy sword in his hand disappeared and replaced with a riding spear longer than the trident!

Roland's series of aerial operations seems complicated, but in fact, it can be summarized as a set of variant charge tactics, since it is still a charge, then +2 dreadnought cavalry gun will cause 3 times the damage; Since a dive is also a charge, the triple assault added to the jump slash specialty is also effective against the cavalry spear, and this shot is like a thunderbolt from the sky, directly stabbing the lizard king's steel chain mail through the natural scale armor, and the spear blade penetrates through the chest and back, nailing it to the ground.

Through the pupil of fate, Roland saw a shocking array of damage bursts above Gusinski's head. Suffering such a terrible blow, the king of the lizardmen, who had a strong physique, had not yet lost his breath, his hands clenched the barrel of the gun and he was gasping for breath, and with each exhalation, a large amount of red foam gushed out of his mouth and nose, and it was obvious that his lungs had been pierced by the spear, and the excessive blood loss had made his hideous and vicious face pale and haggard.

"Gusinski can't die yet, we need him to lead the way to the island where Agnes is living in seclusion." Tonya reminded Roland in time.

"I've got my own measure." Roland lifted his rifle with his right hand and slapped a "holy healing" on Gusinsky with his left hand to ensure that he did not die before he confessed.
