Chapter 15: Thorns
The figure of the greatsword's owner is difficult to see at a glance in the dimly lit underground, but the most conservative estimate is that it is close to two meters tall.
The unknown tall sneak attacker had apparently taken the upper hand, and Harold was forced to fend off the slash of the greatsword with his twin blades, narrowly escaping the fate of being slashed in two by the greatsword from his shoulder.
Overwhelmed by the momentum of the greatsword's slash, Harold fell to his knees with his wounded left leg and crushed the ground.
The sharp pain made him wake up temporarily, but in an instant, Harold seized the opportunity to use magic to activate the technique of the necklace on his chest.
In an instant, he entered almost all of the remaining mana.
"Qiang~~" Harold instantly burst out with strength, flicked the giant sword that was pressed down, and quickly rolled on the ground by himself, widening the distance from the attacker.
"After a minute and a half, you lose consciousness as soon as the time passes. I really don't want to use the 'Blood Covenant' in the current situation, this technique will deepen the damage of the body. ”
The assailant missed, and then strode forward, grabbing his greatsword and pressing in for a second slash.
"The swift wind has turned into my weapon!" Harold recited a spell to attach a whirlwind blade to his dagger and use it to bounce off his opponent's dash slash.
However, this time the spell failed, and in his mentally unstable state, his magic failed.
It can only be hard-hitting!
The second slash combined with the power of the dash made the greatsword slash even more powerful.
The dagger met and turned into metal shards in an instant under this power.
However, Harold's goal was also achieved, and he used the force of the second greatsword slash to eject several meters and successfully pull away the distance.
Run!
Harold immediately turned around and ran.
The heavy footsteps of the pursuers followed.
There's a corner ahead, and here's your chance!
Harold threw the remaining knife high into the air, plunging it horizontally into the wall six or seven meters above the ground.
With the force of his lunge, he leapt to his feet, grasping the hilt of the dagger with both hands.
The tip of the greatsword swept across the sole of Harold's boot, leaving a shallow scratch on the soles, but Harold didn't have time to care about his boots now, he worked together with both hands, turned over, and the soles of his feet stepped on the narrow blade surface.
Pull the sharp dagger from the lower leg, tear open a piece of clothing, tie the dagger to the palm of your hand with a quick tie, and then straighten your arm and stab the sharp dagger deep into the wall.
Finally, he lifted the technique called 'Blood Covenant' on the necklace on his chest, closed his eyes, and went to sleep!
Stand on a knife face six meters above the ground.
Go to bed.
***************************************
After a long dream, Harold woke up, blinked, and regained consciousness, only the wound on his left calf was still aching.
Harold looked down, and the assailant who had been chasing him with his greatsword was guarding below, still not leaving.
Harold glanced at the other man's lifeless artificial eyes, then examined the attacker's face.
"Heh, I hate fighting with fleshless dead things, because they can only be destroyed by means of destruction."
The man holding the giant sword was a samurai made entirely of metal, and Harold could tell that the metal was the "Dwarven Alloy" by the light of the underground labyrinth magic crystal, and this alloy warrior was supposed to be the "Dwarven Mecha" used by the dwarves to guard the door.
"Did Lilina really say it, did that girl's mouth open up?" Harold couldn't help but complain at this time.
Seriously, he's still a little happy: if it's really a dwarven underground city ruins, he can sell the contents on the black market, and he won't have to play a game of pretending to be a couple with Lilina anymore.
However, this involved the problem of finding a black market channel (which was never found), so Harold didn't think much about it, and the top priority was to deal with the enemies below first.
Looking at the dwarf objects on the ground, Harold made up his mind.
Harold's hidden arrow shot out from his sleeve, and the dwarven mech wielded his greatsword to knock it away.
"Oh, whether or not the attack can break the armor, it will be blocked with a sword first."
Harold injected magic into the necklace on his chest, and now he strengthened his sense of hearing, Harold was carefully discerning the internal parts of the mech, and based on the sound information he had gathered, he began to construct the general internal structure of the Alloy Guardian in his brain.
"There, where the knee bends, the heat vent is there, it's really hidden."
After consuming a lot of mana to enhance the sense of hearing for a few minutes, the harvest finally came to fruition.
The second Hidden Arrow fired, and the dwarf mech swung his sword to block it.
However, it was not only the Hidden Arrow that fell, Harold also jumped from the blade with a dagger in his hand, and pulled out the short knife stuck in the wall.
"The swift wind has turned into my weapon!" The incantation moved, and a layer of thousands of tiny "sharp blades" made of wind arose on the short knife.
Harold's posture towards the dwarven mecha is like a giant eagle pounceing on a bull, and the short knife with a spell attached to it isolates the counterattack of the "dwarven greatsword", drawing a brilliant spark.
With the strength of the clash between the dagger and the dwarven greatsword, Harold adjusted his posture in the air. Until the moment it fell, its legs easily hooked around the dwarven mech's neck, its head facing the ground, and its back pressed against the dwarven mech's metal back.
With a flip of his palm, the dagger in his hand pierced into the hole in the dissipation hole of the dwarven mech's knees.
"Sound the Destroyer's roar! Rending Winds! "When the incantation is finished, the dust settles.
Then Harold unloaded a little force from his legs, and the dwarven mech, which was shaking rapidly, threw him five or six meters away.
Harold landed in a somewhat embarrassed position, but at this time it didn't matter, the joints of the dwarven mech all exploded, and by the time Harold stood up, the delicate dwarf creature had completely fallen apart.
"A creation with a hard outer shell is likely to be more fragile on the inside."
"The more sophisticated the precision of the creations created by civilization, the easier it is to destroy."
"It's all of both, and the dwarf's tech tree is really crooked. Weapons, it's better to be simple and crude. ”
Harold thought so, and he muttered to himself, "I hope those two silly girls are okay, especially Lilina, that guy had better be alive and kick so I can buff her." ”
