Chapter 15: Shadow Trickery
A striking scarlet look out of place surrounded by the surrounding black. But as the owner of the body wiped it with his fingers, the blood stains and scars disappeared as if they had never appeared.
"I didn't expect that big sword like scrap metal could actually hurt my blade." Laurie wiped the scratches off his body and looked up. Although the words were spoken to people, his eyes never left the sword.
"Scrap metal? Looks like you're going to be chopped to pieces by scrap metal today. Yu Yi played with the blood anger in his hand, and the blood anger in his hand seemed to understand the other party's wording to it just now, and the lines of the sword body flashed a dangerous red light.
"Then let's try it!" Laurie stretched out his arms, shook back the thieves who sneaked up behind him, and threw his fist at the warrior in front of him. With both fists thrown together, it is as if you are about to crush your opponent into powder.
When Yu Yi just wanted to turn forward to avoid the dangerous blow, he didn't expect that the black soil under his feet would tie him up at this time, making him miss the only opportunity to dodge. I had no choice but to stretch out the shield on my left arm and resist the blow head-on with the blood rage in my right hand.
‘-21’
One-fifth of your health vanished as soon as your arms took the blow, but the punches didn't stop. One punch pressed the black shield, the other punch pressed against the tip of the sword, and two giant fists composed of black smoke pressed from the middle little by little.
Feeling that the force on his arm was gradually increasing, Yu Yi secretly felt a little unbearable, and what was even worse was that the smoke on the black fist was constantly spreading to the black shield in his left hand, corroding it little by little. The effect of [Corrosion] on the black shield instantly increased by several layers, and if it goes on like this, let alone the black shield, even the gauntlets on the hands will be corroded clean.
At this time, Bai Siling's [Wind Singing Trio] in the rear finally arrived, and three arrow feathers with pale green wind elements accurately hit the pirate's chest. '-3''-8''-11', however, has a very limited effect, especially the third arrow with a knockback effect, which is also ineffective despite the disparity in power between the two.
With such an attack, the pirate may still be able to turn a blind eye, but the next '-30', '-30', and '-30' damage that suddenly appeared on his head one after another made him unable to turn a blind eye anymore. According to the trend of that attack, it is clear that it will continue on and on until it is hindered. So Laurie unloaded the strength he had at hand and turned back to clean up the thieves who were sneaking up behind him.
However, when his attack fell, the damned sneak assailant was once again in the shadows of the ground. So the heavy punch that fell could only smash a deep pit on the innocent ground.
A moment later, Aesop had already emerged from the shadows and stood beside Yu Yi: "Brother Yi, this guy is even more difficult to deal with than I imagined." ”
"Is it difficult? I don't think he can beat you at all, and it will cost him to death if it goes on like this. Yu Yi replied with his nearly destroyed shield on his back.
"You're thinking too much, Brother Yi. Using the Shadow Shuttle is not without a price. ”
Hearing the other party's answer, Yu Yi turned around and found that Aesop, who had just been clearly not attacked at all, had lost more than half of his health at this time. "Does it cost you to cast this skill?"
"It's okay to consume blood," the ball of light summoned by the little priest girl in the rear had already enveloped the thief, and quickly made up for the loss of his health, "The key is to consume this." As he spoke, he took out a piece of blue crystal, "Because I don't have the [Shadow Demon] bloodline on my body, after casting the blue crystal that costs 3 Ge for the first time, the consumption will be doubled each time in a short period of time." Moreover, the longer I stay in the shadows, the slower I move, and the most dangerous thing is this, if I get into the shadows and don't get out in time, I will probably be trapped in it forever. ”
"Dead?"
"It can be understood that way."
Yu Yi now understands why he subconsciously rejects this trick, the price of using it is too great, and such a trick will be included in the prohibited list in most cases. But I have to say that the effect that can be achieved by such a move is very dangerous, and even the inheritor of the demon king will be played around, not to mention ordinary people, I am afraid that before I know what is going on, I have already been wiped by a sharp blade.
"Even if I can keep using [Shadow Shuttle], I guess it will be difficult to get this guy. I reckon we haven't even killed one percent of his blood just now. Aesop continued.
Yu Yi also expected this in his heart, and was not too surprised, but asked: "Before we consume him, we are all dead." Seeing that you are confident, is there any way to do it? ”
"It's not me, it's you, and I just remembered it. Since you've left Wildfire City, that means you've got that thing, right? Aesop turned his head and smiled.
"Something? What is it? Yu Yi said inexplicably, and at the same time felt a little weird, it was not difficult to hear in the other party's words, this guy's understanding of his whereabouts, how did he do it?
A wave was not settled, and Aesop's next words made another wave rise in his heart:
"It's the hollow spiral horn that the unicorn gave you when you were in the Yunxing Jungle, the one that was a little crooked. You're not going to lose it, are you? ”
"Yes, yes," Yu Yi reached into his backpack with one hand, "but you have to tell me, how do you know?" You seem to know better than I do, and if you don't mention it, I'll actually forget that I still have such a thing in my bag. ”
"Now is not the time to say this," Isolos prevaricated, and the Drow Sander in front of him was already quite struggling to resist the attack alone, and could only resist with health under the healing of the light orb. "Time is running out, that guy has just obtained the inheritance of the Demon King, and he is not familiar enough with divine power, so he only knows how to fight by brute force. Now is our only chance to defeat him, and once he's fully mastered his powers, I really don't know how to deal with him. ”
"Divine power? The black smoke on his body is divine power? Yu Yi asked.
"Yes, but that's only a small part of what is left of the Abyss Cup, and more of the divine power is scattered everywhere...... Don't talk that nonsense, start talking about my plans. Aesop whispered in Yi's ear, quickly explaining his plan.
After listening to the simple plan in a few words, Yu Yi couldn't help but ask with doubts: "How sure are you about this idea?" "If nothing else, it's just because the so-called plan is a bit too simplistic, and it sounds a little unreliable.
The thief turned the two daggers with chains on each of his hands, and replied calmly, "I can't say, anyway, according to my prediction, there will be two results." Either you succeed or you fail. ”
"! You say it! Before Yu Yi could scold, the other party had already started sneaking. And so their plan began.
"Bang!"
After a muffled sound, just as the expected first step, the sword and shield of the big man Drow Sander had been completely disintegrated in the corrosion. So, it was Yu Yi's turn to go into battle.
Since the blood rage easily cut through the divine power to form a protective layer before, Yu Yi, who was holding the blood rage, undoubtedly became the first target of the pirates. And just like in that rough plan, he didn't have to prepare for any counterattacks, just dodge or block attacks with Blood Fury.
Bloodfury is a heavy sword, and it's more than enough to use it as a shield. And because it is a blade forged from the Divine Cry Crystal Ore, its existence is closely related to the sword master, and there is no such setting as "durability" itself, so it is not afraid of the [corrosive] effect of the Chaos Divine Power.
Blocking and taking damage is Yu Yi's old job, although there are still risks, but with the support of the light ball of the little girl in the rear, he can be regarded as persevering. In this way, not only did he give Aesop more time, but the light on the spiral horns in his backpack was constantly increasing.
As for Aesop on the other side, what he has to do is much more troublesome. Since it was almost certain that Laurie's attention had been drawn to Yu Yi, he simply gave up his stealth combat profession in addition to using the stealth state to increase his movement speed at the beginning.
The two daggers were under his control, constantly splitting on Laurie's body, but each attack only brought '-2' '-3', which was more inconspicuous than the archer's shot. It may seem like a frustration, but this is the only way to make Laurie let down his guard against him so that he can complete one part of the plan.
When ready, Aesop taped a [Silent Approach] to Laurie's side, but instead of showing his weapon, he whispered in the other person's ear, "You never listened to me, don't you remember what I said before?" 'Don't ignore me'. ”
"You can say that to the coward who listens to you, but not me now. Do you think you can still be a threat to me? Now look at who's the garbage! Laurie roared and grabbed his backhand, and the chaos power flung backwards at the same time under his control, and a huge crack was cut in the ground.
But that's all, Isolos has already used three skillful [Backward Leaps] to get out of that huge attack range. He smiled, "With the inheritance of the Demon King, you are still so stupid in fighting. You're right, my dagger is no threat to you, but the shadow listens to me. ”
Laurie realized something, looked down at his feet, and realized that his shadow had been manipulated by the other party in those painless attacks just now. At this time, his shadow had been tied to the side, and it seemed that he had been detached from his body. "You just like to play these carving tricks, and then what? What else can you do? Kill me with a shadow? ”
"That's not my job, I'm only responsible for removing the thick black turtle shell from your body." Isolos replied as she tugged at a chain tied to her calf, "By the way, I didn't come here empty-handed today, I have some small gifts for you." ”
As Isolsk's movements continued, Yu Yi on the side realized that the chain on the thief's leg had always been in a state of deep shadows. Usually, due to the cover of clothing, it is not easy to find. At this time, Isolos had already pulled seven or eight times, but the chain still had no intention of reaching the end at all.
Along with those who were brought out of the shadows, there were countless daggers chained to them. It seems to be very ordinary, but because it has been soaked in the shadows for a long time, it is covered with a dull gray, which seems a little unrealistic.
"I'll give you all of this." As if she had practiced countless times, Aesop unhooked a large handful of daggers from her chains with a wave of her hand, and then stingily threw them onto Laurie's shadow. At first glance, the daggers looked like they were stuck in the ground, but they quickly disappeared into the shadows.
"Damn it, what are you going to do?" Looking at the other party's strange methods, the pirate finally sensed a hint of uneasiness, and he shouted to stop him, but Yu Yi and Zor appeared in time to block his way.
"Don't worry, you'll find out soon." With a witty smile, Isolos replied, and as he spoke, he had already thrown dozens of daggers into the other man's shadow, and the chains in his hands had not yet reached their heads.
Before Yu Yi could speak, Zhuo Ersander, who was on the side, turned around and roared at the deed owner: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up!" Lao Tzu won't last long! ”
At this time, Yu Yi realized that the relationship between the master and servant was still so harmonious. However, this roar also called out his heart, and his health was still within a safe range for a while. The key is that the spiral angle in the backpack has already entered a state of light energy, and if it drags on any longer, I am afraid it will return to zero again.
"Got it! Got it! Aysoth replied impatiently, throwing the remaining gray dagger in his hand and putting the chains back into the shadows. He clapped his hands: "So much should be enough." Okay, let's get started! ”
As he spoke, he pulled out the weapon he had slung from his waist, and the two daggers gnashed like dangerous fangs into Laurie's shadow on the ground. For a moment, the shadow began to squirm continuously, and after a while, it actually fell apart.
"Now, I'll give you back the shadow, and you're ready to take it." Aesop said.
Sure enough, Laurie's scattered shadows scurried on the ground for a moment like a headless fly, then stopped, and then each part of the shadow revealed a long "tail" that continued to lengthen and finally converge at Laurie's feet.
Convergence complete...... For a moment, all the shadows seemed to have found a long-lost home, desperately rushing towards the main body.
For this strange trick, Yu Yi didn't see any clues, and said to himself: "Can this really work?" ”
Isolos clapped his hands and walked up to him: "My trickery allows the shadows to chop up the human body after separating them, so that it actually causes no harm to the human being at all. However, in the process of returning to the original body and reorganizing, these shadows will be quite chaotic, and it will inevitably reveal those daggers that I have carefully raised in the shadows. I'll admit, I didn't cut as well as they did, after all, the reconstitution of the shadow passes through every part of the body......"
As soon as the words fell, I saw the shadows that gathered and pounced on Laurie's body and constantly reassembled, revealing those gray blades one after another. Cutting, began.
