Chapter 8: The Touch of Abuse
No, to be precise, this is supposed to be a half-ghoul, the product of the failure of humans or other living creatures to transform into ghouls through alchemy or magic! I didn't expect him to be able to deal with a few humans, which is really scary. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
After a brief moment of consternation, Ryan no longer hesitated, raised the light crossbow in his hand and pulled the trigger.
Duh!
Piercing -5
"Whew!" Crossbow bolts shot out of the grass hit Mescal's shoulder blades accurately, and the specks of black blood splattered in the air confirmed Ryan's suspicion that he wasn't completely undead.
Enraged by the surprise attack, Mescal stretched out his withered palm, let out a low roar, and broke the crossbow bolt with pain and force: "Bastard! I'm going to make you pay! ”
Shout! Another bolt silently sprang out from the other direction, heading straight for Mescal's side face.
With his defense, relying on the same agility, Mescal quickly dodged, and was able to dodge this crossbow arrow, as if his half-cut nose twitched slightly, and quickly determined Ryan's location.
Before Ryan could shoot the third bolt, he saw a very fast black shadow flying towards him!
Before he could attack, the half-elf crouched on the spot and rolled against the ground, dodging Mescal's sharp claws.
"Stupid humans! I'm going to drink your blood! The slender arm allowed Mescal to touch the ground even if he didn't crouch, and he put down the cruel words, and before the half-elf could refute, he actually used his hands and feet to bully him again.
As soon as he stabilized his body, Ryan immediately raised his light crossbow and pulled the trigger, but with Mescal's rapid movement, it only pierced his cloak. Seeing the latter attack again, Ryan didn't want to throw away the light crossbow directly, pulled out the weapon on his waist with a thud, and swung his knife forward as if he was dying!
Blessing!
Airplanes! In the night, the sudden glow of golden light made Mescal, who couldn't adapt for a while, feel a little dazzling, and the fear from the depths of his soul made him stagnate, and he jumped up directly and jumped over Ryan's head.
The crossed blades slashed into the air, Ryan was not discouraged, and quickly took advantage of the situation to turn around, and the long sword slashed at the cloak behind Mescal, and the resistance from his hand and the screams of the other party made him feel a lot more relieved.
Slash -4
I saw that the injured Mescal fell directly to the ground, and it took two consecutive rolls to stabilize his body, covering the position of his hips, and looking at Ryan with extremely fierce eyes.
Tsk, it seems to have been cut into a terrible position. Seeing Mescal's bitter and resentful look, the half-elf showed a disgusted expression on his face, and raised the morning light blessing in his hand violently, frightened to take a reflexive step in the opposite direction.
No matter how powerful Mescar is stronger than Ryan, he is always half a low-level undead, and fear is engraved in his bones in the face of this magical weapon against evil.
This is also the capital that Ryan dares to regard as his prey, the Lord of Dawn has a tolerance for the undead with 0, and under his influence, all the temples and magic of Los Sanda are much stronger in damage and deterrence to the undead.
With a roar, Mescal seemed to be provoked by Ryan's taunt and stepped back slightly, grabbing a handful of white powder from the pouch in his arms. That is, silver powder?
Call! Large flakes of silver dust were swept into the air, as if a light snow had fallen. I saw Mescal exhale a few awkward syllables in a deep voice, and the silver powder that was slowly falling around him suddenly reversed, as if held up by the breeze, constantly spinning around him, and with a little silver flash, they all disappeared into the air, and Mescal could vaguely see a translucent silver film around him.
The spell identification is successful, and the other party is casting a ring spell to protect the good.
Protect Kindness: When attacked from the Good faction, gain unloading and defense bonuses, and the recipient greatly increases resistance to the faction's mind control and similar spell effects, and summoned good faction creatures cannot contact the recipient. Duration, 1d10 minutes per level.
Damn it! Seeing this, Ryan immediately swung his long sword and rushed forward, but in the end he was still a step too slow. The scimitar was okay, the moment the long sword penetrated the membrane, it seemed to have unloaded a small half of its strength, and the golden light on the surface dimmed for a while.
Boom! Easily parrying Ryan's attack with his claws, Mescal screamed, his legs slammed into Ryan's chest. The latter let out a cry of pain and backed back a long distance.
With the protection of this so-called camp turtle shell, Mescal could no longer feel the intimidation of the morning light blessing in Ryan's hand. The right hand took out a small piece of phosphorescent mushrooms from his arms, and as a series of obscure syllables were recited in his mouth, the dried phosphorescent mushrooms turned into fly ash at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a little blue light continued to surround Mescal's palm, and soon, a trace of electricity flashed in it.
The spell identification is successful, and the opponent is casting a ring of spells, electric claws
Electric Claw: A successful melee contact attack deals Shock Damage of 1d6 per cast level (up to a maximum of 5d6).
"Die!" Mescal waved the rattling electricity in his hand, turning into an elongated black shadow, and instantly came to Ryan's side.
As a former legendary mage, Ryan is well aware of the characteristics of high damage of contact spells, but the disadvantages of melee casting make him generally have no idea of using them, but now, combined with the powerful melee ability of the opponent's half-ghoul, it actually gives him a death-like threat!
With Mescal's level 4 mage, if you resist this attack, your 12 HP will even die on the spot if you are not careful, and you must not resist! Ryan, who had recovered his strength, threw himself directly to the side, the flickering blue electric light almost brushed past his ears, and the body brushed by the electricity seemed to be a little paralyzed.
Woohoo! The palm with a large piece of electric light attached to it slapped the stone, accompanied by the splash of rubble, leaving a charred black mark in the center.
A lazy donkey rolled to dodge Mescal's attack, and Ryan picked up the light crossbow on the ground and distanced himself from the opponent in several strides in succession.
"Cunning human!" Seeing that his attack failed, Mescal was obviously very unwilling, and turned around and scolded Ryan.
"Which eye do you see I'm human?" Landing steadily, Ryan taunted as he pulled the trigger of the crossbow that had already been loaded.
Grabbing the crossbow bolt that had lost half of its strength through the protective barrier, Mescal showed his ugly yellowed fangs: "It's a human mongrel!" ”
With a frown, Ryan didn't respond to Mescal's words, his fingers were as nimble as butterflies through the forest, and in a blink of an eye, they were already filled again. Dodging slightly, easily dodging the attack of the crossbow arrow, the smile on Mescal's face once again magnified: "Stupid! Is your attack so weak? ”
Ryan stepped back silently, loaded his crossbow bolts, and quietly placed his free left hand on the pill bottle at his waist. Whenever Mescal wanted to get closer, he would shoot a crossbow bolt in time, and the distance between the two did not change in the slightest.
Shooting the bolt again, as if impatient with Ryan's attack, Mescal fumbled in his arms and soon pulled out a scroll, which the latter grinned and threw it out.
The spell identification is successful, and the other party is casting a two-ring spell, the ghost hand.
Ghost Hand: Create a ghost hand with life energy, it moves with your mind, can only travel in your direction, can launch a normal attack or use it to cast a low-level contact spell, the caster loses 1d4 health, and will recover after the spell ends, and the health will not be restored when the ghost hand is destroyed. Duration: 1d5 minutes/level.
Ryan's action as he was loading the bolt suddenly froze, and his pupils instantly narrowed. I saw that the scroll thrown in the air was instantly turned to ashes by a pale green flame, and a translucent palm rushed out at an extremely fast speed and slapped Ryan's body fiercely.
Claw Grab -4, triggers special effect, fails checkup, paralyzes for 3 seconds
Although he used a light crossbow to block the roaring ghost hand in time, Ryan really didn't expect that this ghoul actually had a scroll of two-ring spells! In a hurry, he was still hit in the chest by this instantaneous spell.
Before he could savor the pain of the claws tearing open his chest, Ryan felt that his body could not move normally for a while, and he fell straight and backwards.
Worst!
Mescal in the distance saw that the spell had taken effect, although some heartache and precious scrolls were wasted on a slippery head, but the excitement on his face still could not be hidden, and he ran wildly, and in the blink of an eye, he came to Ryan's body.
As a foul stench came over his face, the half-elf felt the ghoul's claws against his neck, and although the paralysis had passed, he did not dare to act rashly.
"Tsk! It's really a half-elf mongrel, it's so rare, I must make you the most perfect work of art! Ha... Uh-huh! Finally capturing this half-elf who had injured himself, Mescal was about to laugh, when Ryan opened his mouth and squirted, and the holy water that he had already held in his mouth instantly touched his face!
Woohoo! Accompanied by a scorching stench, the pain caused Mescal to lean back. Ryan seized the opportunity and kicked it away, and the protective barrier around him could no longer support it, and he was directly kicked away. With a low shout, Ryan took the opportunity to attack, and the weapon in his hand drew an arc of gold and silver under the night sky. Mescal's cloak was torn in an instant, and a large piece of black blood was carried away by the blade!
-5 for slash, -4 for slash
"Ahh The heart-rending screams made people's hairs stand upside down, but the blade in Ryan's hand did not stop there, as if venting, waving a dazzling cold light, and in a blink of an eye, the cloak on Mescal's body was cut into strips of rags, and the scars under the torn robe looked terrifying!
The mage's defense was already low, and even if he became a ghoul, he didn't improve much, and seeing that Ryan was about to cut him into a stick, a green light suddenly appeared in front of him.
Boom! Catching the ghost's hand with the blessing of the morning light, Ryan raised the scimitar in his right hand, and before the palm was far away, he chased after it and slashed it to pieces.
Slash -2
Solving the other party's spell ability, the half-elf boy's expression was still indifferent, and he turned his head and wanted to solve Mescal directly, but found the latter lying on his side, holding up half of the finger bone that was emitting a little ghostly light in his hand, with a crazy smile on his face.
The spell is successfully identified, and the other party is casting a two-ring spell, the touch of abuse.
Cruel Touch: Deals 1d6 damage, an additional +1 per level, and can deal sneak attack damage.
The shadow that rose from his phalanges rushed into Ryan's chest in an instant, not giving him any chance to dodge at all, and the latter trembled, his heart seemed to stop, and the biting cold poured out from the depths of his soul. Necromantic spells enhanced by the specialty deal extremely high damage! Ryan's strength seemed to be drained, his thighs went limp, and he fell into the dirt with a pop, scarlet blood slowly spilling out of his mouth.
Abusive Touch -10, you're in a near-death state!
