Chapter 24: Counterattack

"Verteidigung (defense), Fesseln (restraint), Schneiden (slash)!"

Gollum stepped back and unleashed three different spells in quick succession, but these were all casual tricks that didn't pose a threat to the Shadow Servant, and her purpose was only to delay.

However, the scarlet spear stabbed forward, and the magic of restraint and defense broke apart in just an instant, and even the magic of slashing only paused it for less than a second, which was even more tricky than expected.

Unlike Medusa, Lancer, as one of the Three Horsemen, even though Shadow Cuchulainn does not have the nature of being immune to great magic like the original, but his resistance to magic is extremely high.

"It seems that the only option is hand-to-hand combat."

Gollum concludes that this is the only option to win. However, only one arm can move, and this option is also the most dangerous.

"Hehehe, the old man is not an unreasonable person, as long as you are willing to share the secret, I will consider letting you go."

Gollum Dazi didn't bother to pay attention, don't say that she didn't believe a word, even if it was true, with her character, how could she compromise under the pressure of others, if it really didn't work, she would use the spell to summon Heizhen, but that was the last resort.

In the battlefield, fierce sparks burst out, and the strength of Shadow Medusa's attack is still not too high, but the frequency and speed of the attack are beyond imagination, although the successive attacks have been knocked down, but Gollum is also under considerable pressure.

In just ten breaths of offensive and defensive battles, no less than a hundred combos were carried out, and Shadow Beauty did not leave Gollum any respite at all, while Shadow Cú Chulainn found the right time, a spear could pierce her defensive net, and the two combined attacked, Gollum seemed to have no strength to fight back, and could only barely protect herself.

"These two shadow followers don't seem to have an independent consciousness of their own, and only act on instinct when they receive orders." During the battle, Gollum discovered this, and the techniques and combat methods of Shadow Medusa and Shadow Cúchulainn were only inherited, although there was a simple cooperation between them, but it was more like an addition.

And they fought like beasts, just relying on their physical abilities and not thinking about the outcome at all.

Otherwise, it is a question of whether Gollum can hold on until now.

"Maybe we can use this as a breakthrough."

Gollum picked up a stone under his feet, used his magic, and slammed into Shadow Medusa with a "whoosh" sound, although it did not cause damage to it, but such a small episode made the only instinctive shadow irritable.

Shadow Medusa rushed over, and Gollum propped up the defense magic and began to run, because of the battle, the treatment magic could not delay the wound on the left arm, and the elbow below was already stained red with blood.

Pain is inevitable, but Gollum can't take care of it so much, grit your teeth and endure it.

"Shadow Cuchulainn didn't follow immediately, they were all aimed at me, but they just accepted the same orders.".

Without a weapon in his hand, Gollum can't fight Shadow Medusa head-on, and the opponent is too fast to be able to do it with one arm.

However, Cúchulainn of Shadow can only fight in close combat, but Shadow Beauty Dusa does not have that high magic resistance, and her magic can work.

"No, you can't hit at such a speed."

The only reason why she was able to defeat the weakened Medusa so smoothly before was because Shinji's order was too stupid, and the Shadow Medusa who only had the consciousness of a beast had a single attack method, but she would not underestimate the enemy, and before completely tearing the prey, she only had how to hunt the enemy in her head.

The pain in her left arm grew, and at this moment, Shadow Medusa caught up with Gollum, and the moment she twisted and turned, she struck her throat, and the short sword of the nail stabbed at her.

Twisting his body with difficulty, he dodged at the last moment, not to the side or backwards, but only to roll in the direction ahead.

But in the next moment, the black shadow disappeared from sight again.

Intuition tells Gollum that if she doesn't do anything next, she will be killed, and this sense of crisis gradually amplifies in her heart.

"Hah-"

Gollum exhaled a breath and immediately carved an "F" symbol into the air with her blood-stained fingers, and flames erupted, forcing Shadow Medusa to retreat.

The magic of rune depicted in blood can exert more power, but it also consumes a lot of magic power, and if it goes on like this, sooner or later it will have to run out of physical strength, which is just a last resort protective measure.

The key question is, how do you deal with the enemy's attack next?

The best way to defend against attacks is a shield, and if you take out a shield that is comparable to a treasure, then you don't have to worry, but how can she have that kind of thing, and how can she create this kind of shield?

Gollum had a flash of inspiration, and a kind of magic trick ——— projection magic came to mind in his head...

In my impression, projection magic is the hallmark of Valhalla, and the authentic projection magic Gollum is definitely not proficient, and the projection shield will definitely not be able to withstand the attack of Shadow Medusa, but if you perform fantasy magic at the same time, there may be a way to make up for this deficiency.

Of course, all this is just speculation, the essence of projection magic is just ordinary magic, except for the Valhalla, no one has ever played this magic to such a point, and wanting to project a treasure is basically a fool's dream.

But Gollum didn't give up.

"Imagine.... Imagine ....."

Forcing himself, his heart and head were running at full strength at this moment, and the magic power in his whole body began to gush out as if the floodgates had opened at such a time.

It's extremely terrifying to use all the magic power at once, strong feelings, explosive power, and Gollum doesn't know if he did it right, so he poured everything out.

Imagining Matthew's shield, imagining the shield that had guarded him countless times, the two completely different magic tricks of projection and fantasy began to merge desperately, and the process was very painful, plus he was already injured, and Gollum was sweating all over his body.

And the beauty of the shadow Dusa will not stand by, constantly attacking and exerting pressure, and the Gollum who only relies on the support of defensive magic is very difficult, and while consuming a lot of physical strength, it can't last long.

Gollum gritted her teeth, desperately fantasizing, she had encountered many life-and-death crises, and the danger in front of her was nothing compared to those disasters, so how could she fall in this place?

With his eyes closed and trying to think, the vague shield frame began to take shape.

"Projection, begin!"
