216, the Duchess of Fierce Fighting (15)
"Hahahahaha! What's wrong? Where is the previous arrogance? Once again, after forcing the crossers back, Duchess Bathory burst out laughing. Now you know your shallowness, right? In the face of Duke Ben, who is of the Holy Rank, you are just some ants. This Duke wants you to die, and you will die! ”
"Old witch! Don't be ashamed to speak out there! Shi Jinxin suddenly appeared behind the Duchess, and the long sword slashed down quickly, but was blocked by the Duchess's magic shield again at the moment when he was about to hit the target. Shi Jinxin, who had failed to attack, quickly dodged and retreated without waiting for the other party to turn around, and then maintained a high-speed movement around the duchess.
Duchess Bartholi did not pursue Shi Jinxin, but raised her hand and lightly pointed in one direction, and saw a pillar of fire rushing straight up, annihilating the two ghost wolves that pounced from that direction. After fighting with the traversers for so long, the duchess naturally knew that the number of these summons was almost inexhaustible, and they were all not afraid of death, and once they were entangled by their close quarters, they would often cause huge defensive holes to themselves. The traversers have used this tactic many times to successfully make the duchess hang the color, if it weren't for the many contingency methods of the duchess of Bathory herself, if she could save the day in time every time, she would have been hit hard by the traversals.
As the two ghost wolves that served as harassers were eliminated, Ruan Kunpeng and Xue Xiaojing, who attacked together, suddenly revealed their positions, and had to give up the attack and retreat under the cover of Yang Lixue and Zheng Kaidong's arrows, while the Yanlong cast by the duchess to pursue the two was forcibly blocked by Yang Qianyu's fire-breathing technique. In the entire short exchange, Shi Jinxin was responsible for luring the enemy, Shen Huan commanded the ghost wolf to be responsible for containment, Ruan Kunpeng and Xue Xiaojing served as the main attackers, Yang Lixue and Zheng Kaidong covered, and Yang Qianyu responded as a backup. However, even this combined attack tactic of seven people was still defused by Duchess Bathory's understatement with a few counterattacks, although the two sides seemed to end in a tie in this round, but the Duchess always had the advantage in the whole scene.
Duchess Bartholi was about to attack again when suddenly a faint burst of golden light burst from her body. When the dark golden light burst appeared, Duchess Bartoli only felt that the magic shield she was holding up suddenly came loose. "What's going on?" Duchess Bartholi was secretly taken aback. "What kind of spell is this? Can you forcibly weaken the magic shield?! ”
"Good opportunity! Trap her! Luo Xu saw that the 'Elven Fire' spell he had cast had successfully weakened the Duchess's protective shield, and he immediately greeted excitedly. As soon as her words fell, Zhou Si beside her also quickly responded, casting the 'Root Entanglement' spell to summon several vines, taking advantage of the Duchess's lack of reaction to quickly break through the defense of the shield and tightly bind the Duchess's legs. Liu Dongxu and Wang Duo took advantage of the fact that the duchess could not move for the time being, and attacked under the guidance of the two giant bears commanded by Zhao Bin. Feeling that the weakened protective shield was difficult to resist this round of attacks, the duchess did not hesitate to cast the 'Ring of Resistance' again to push Liu and Wang and the two giant bears away, but as soon as the spell effect of the 'Ring of Resistance' ended, Li Xiang, who was deliberately one step behind, had already appeared on the side of Duchess Bathory, and slammed the war hammer at the Duchess's head.
"Not good!" The Duchess, who was alarmed, immediately let out a long roar, and the golden-red flames quickly gushed out and wrapped around her body, and the flexible vines immediately burned when they touched the flames and quickly dissipated into ashes. The freed duchess hurriedly stepped back and tilted her head, and the Holy Pattern Warhammer whistled against one side of her scalp and swept through the air.
"It's so hanging!" Duchess Bartholi almost exclaimed in surprise, and hurriedly floated away.
"It's a pity!" Li Xiang, who was defeated, gritted his teeth in frustration and chased after him with a hammer.
Seeing that Li Xiang was still going to pursue, Duchess Bathory immediately screamed, beckoned and threw out a fireball the size of a basin and smashed it towards Li Xiang. Unexpectedly, Li Xiang did not dodge and let the fireball explode, but after the fireworks dispersed, it was unscathed - Li Xiang activated the 'Holy Shield' to protect himself while attacking, and successfully resisted the Duchess's 'bursting fireball'. The Lv3-level 'Holy Shield' lasted for forty-five seconds (with a cooldown of one minute), and Li Xiang, who had plenty of time to protect himself, continued to prepare for melee combat with the Duchess with a fierce posture of not fearing death.
Facing the menacing Li Xiang, Duchess Bathory's eyes flashed fiercely, and she raised her hand and waved her hand to release the 'Lianzhu Fireball' again, but the target was Yang Zhao, Liu Chang and others in the outer area of the battle group. "Despicable!" Seeing that the duchess attacked her weaker companions, Li Xiang scolded angrily, but she had to give up the pursuit and go to protect Yang Zhao and other weakly defended companions.
Without Li Xiang's entanglement, Duchess Bathory's pressure suddenly lightened, and after raising her hand and releasing a wall of fire to block Yang Qianyu and Ruan Kunpeng, who were about to besiege her, and then launched fireballs to knock out a few water elements, she gradually stabilized her position again.
"Oops!" Yang Qianyu couldn't help but feel anxious when he saw that the other party had a short respite and would be able to regain the advantage immediately. The fierce battle had been fierce for a long time, and although the enemy's rhythm of battle was now disrupted by a series of strong blows, the companions had begun to show fatigue. If you let your opponent regain control of the pace of the battle, you may collapse instantly.
"Damn! If you really can't do it, you can only go out and have a hard time with the other party. Yang Qianyu was ruthless in his heart, and he suddenly felt desperate. With his current level of strength and state, it is extremely likely that he will die in a confrontation with Duchess Bathory, but it is also enough to deal a fatal blow to Duchess Bathory. Although he knew that even if he died, he could use the altar in the 'Holy Domain' to resurrect, but it was unknown whether the actual use would be smooth, what the effect of the resurrection would be, and whether there would be any sequelae, but so far, there were not many choices for Yang Qianyu to choose.
"That's it! If you really hang up, you can only be considered unlucky! I'm not going to watch my fellow people die! Thinking of this, Yang Qianyu resolutely made a decision in his heart. Immediately, I saw that the palms of his hands were blazing and condensed, and he was ready to fight with all his strength.
Just when Yang Qianyu began to gather momentum and prepare to forcibly break through the wall of fire to attack the duchess, a figure suddenly appeared next to the duchess. Xue Xiaojing used the 'Shine' to teleport through the wall of fire, and released three 'Shadow Raid' poison darts with her left hand to shoot at the Duchess, while her right hand cut the Duchess's neck with the ring blade.
“!!!” Yang Qianyu was stunned at first, and then shocked. Looking at Xue Xiaojing's offensive and undefended posture, he knew that the other party had the same intention of sacrificing his life as he was. Although Yang Qianyu sought victory in danger, he would never put his companions in a dangerous situation and ignore them. Now seeing that Xue Xiaojing is one step ahead of him and facing the Duchess alone, he is in a hurry. Immediately, he shouted and cast a 'fire-breathing technique' to wrap his arms, pounding the wall of fire in an attempt to force his way in.
On the inside of the wall of fire, in the future, before she could drive away the weakening effect of the 'Elven Fire' on her own magic shield, Duchess Bathory did not dare to resist rashly in the face of Xue Xiaojing's 'Shadow Raid', and her body deflected to avoid the three poison darts, and then waved her wand to block Xue Xiaojing's ring blade.
"Hmph, ignorant little girl." Looking at Xue Xiaojing, who was wrestling with herself, Duchess Bathory pursed her lips disdainfully. Although she is a mage-based combat officer, she may not be very strong in terms of melee combat ability, but it is indeed more than enough for self-protection. What's more, after Duchess Bathory was promoted to a saint-rank powerhouse, the shortcomings of mage fighters such as strength and agility were also greatly enhanced, and it was by no means something that Xue Xiaojing, whose strength was weaker than her, could deal with alone.
Feeling that her weapon 'Punishment Ring Blade' was suppressed by the opponent's wand, Xue Xiaojing knew that she was not the Duchess's opponent in terms of strength alone, but it was difficult to escape with her whole body now. Xue Xiaojing, who was determined to fight with all her might, looked at the contemptuous look shown by Duchess Bathory, and coldly replied.
"If you have a bad face, don't pout and smile. It's ugly. ”
“……!!!”
Duchess Bartholi was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then saw that her eyes were getting redder and redder, obviously stimulated by Xue Xiaojing's words.
"Stinky girl!" The scarred Duchess Bartholi snarled.
"Me! Want! You! Die! ”
