Chapter 13: The Night Fight (2)
Jessica swallowed quietly, she had never encountered such a situation before, and it was the first time she had fought the enemy head-on.
Although she received Avril Lavigne's rigorous training when she was on the island, she would not be weak enough to lose her combat effectiveness. But looking at the blood-red eyes and sharp claws, Jessica suddenly felt a sense of weakness in her heart.
The attacker didn't care what Jessica was thinking, and regrouped and launched an attack with lightning speed.
Jessica saw a black shadow flicker, and then rushed forward from the blind spot outside of her vision, and threw her cold, glistening claws towards her unsuspecting neck.
'So fast!! Jessica was still immersed in the speed of the foul and didn't come to her senses, and her body reflexively involuntarily retreated and fell.
'Not good' Jessica could even see the cruelty and pride in the eyes of her attacker. As soon as the body pressed, the body in mid-air changed its trajectory, and the face door that pounced on Jessica was about to leave a few scars there. Luring the prey to reveal its flaws faster than the average person, and then hitting the weak points is the usual way for attackers to win.
After scratching hard, the assailant jumped to the side again, and for some reason, the attacker, who had obviously succeeded, let out a low growl of anger at Jessica.
And Jessica, who hurriedly stood firm, broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, he subconsciously emitted magic from his hair at that time to block the claws that almost disfigured him.
Jessica uses all her strength to drive the Heart of Water and mobilize her magic. A twisted water whip slowly appeared in Jessica's hand, and now she couldn't be careless, staring at the attacker.
The next round begins again, again with the brutal attackers eager to attack. Black shadows swirled around Jessica, staggering and then dodging away. Only at the moment of the attack, because he wanted to gain a foothold and center of gravity, he slowed down and kept his balance, and Jessica was caught.
It's still that fast. However, Jessica, who was preoccupied, did not make such a huge mistake as just now, although she still couldn't lock on to the shadow's body, she was still able to catch its offensive line and barely block the attacker's attack with a little bit of prediction.
However, it can be seen that Jessica is obviously downwind, clumsy movements left and right, and unable to fight back. The pace of the battle has always been in the hands of the attackers, and if Jessica can't keep up with this rhythm and makes a slight mistake, the next battle will be like a rout embankment, and it is only a matter of time before the whole line is lost.
This is also obvious to others, and now Jessica is like a puppet in the hands of the attacker, swaying from side to side with its mood. When it's enough to play and get tired, when is the moment when Jessica loses. Wendy had never hated her powerlessness more than this moment.
Wendy's eyes welled up with tears. It's also a partner.,Wendy's heart is full of self-blame for not doing anything.γ
[Wendy, you have to remember that the so-called partners are supporting each other, relying on each other, and carrying each other's backs! ] It's not just interest groups that are divided by values and contributions. As your partner, all I can say is thank you for being by my side. ]
Wait a minute? Seems like Jessica said something else at the time? Wendy wiped away her tears with her palm, and remembered, what is it?
[If I'm stuck in a helpless predicament or something I don't have to worry about, it's up to you as a partner to help me.] ]
Yes, Jessica seemed to have said that at the time, but at the time, Wendy didn't take it to heart when she thought it was unlikely. Isn't that the time now? Jessica is alone in a battle with little chance of winning, while she is able to move freely.
But what can I do? If you don't know magic, you can't even join the battlefield. At leastγAt least if I had learned even one magic in the first place, I would have been able to use auxiliary magic to support Jessica.? Support? Isn't it like magic is the only way to support your partner, isn't there? The greatest trait of the Dragon Slayer!
Wendy hurriedly flipped through her backpack, remembering that it was stored in her backpack.
While Wendy was rummaging through her backpack, Jessica was gradually unable to hold on. The nerves that had been tensed to keep up with the attacker's speed began to put a strain on the mind, and his movements were noticeably stiffer than before. If there are no countermeasures or variables, defeat is a matter of time.
Just as Jessica barely turned around and flashed a hook claw, a variable appeared. A figure burst in from the periphery, none other than Wendy, who had been staying by the river.
Wendy seemed to be holding something carefully in her hand, so she rushed straight into the battle circle.
Jessica was stunned and shouted anxiously: "Wendy, be careful, get out!" β
The attackers seem to be upset by Wendy's incursions, adding an element of uncertainty to the fight. So he let go of Jessica, who had been unable to attack for a long time, turned around and ran towards Wendy.
"Ahh
"Ahhh Jessica took a slow step to catch up from behind, and the magic whip seemed to feel Jessica's anger, and used a terrifying momentum to attack the attacker. The sinuous water snake bit hard where the attacker stood, splashing a large area of water.
It's a pity that he couldn't catch the attacker, but only shattered the afterimage left by the attacker. The real assailant pounced before the whip struck, and only stood several meters away, staring directly at Jessica.
I don't know if it was because I was taken aback by the momentum just now, or because Jessica and Wendy were standing together, which made the attacker's simple brain feel that the threat had increased. The attackers just stood on the perimeter and watched, but showed no sign of retreating. Originally, the attacker aimed at the two of them to shoot together.
Jessica helped Wendy up while facing the attacker to be vigilant about its movements, and asked with concern, "Wendy, why did you run over and you weren't hurt, right?" β
While wondering why Wendy suddenly intervened in the battle circle, Jessica caught a glimpse of a reflective object lying on the ground out of the corner of her eye. Jessica took a closer look and turned out to be a fragment of a porcelain bowl, reflecting the contents of the bowl. That's the water that Wendy had carefully held in her hand and wanted to give Jessica! Of course, it has now seeped into the ground, leaving only a few droplets of water.
Jessica's heart was filled with self-reproach, and the reason why Wendy left the safer river to join the battle circle was to send him a water source that could help the dragon slayer restore his magic. Presumably Jessica's embarrassed posture caused her uneasiness! The more Jessica thought about it, the more depressed she became.
"Wendy I"
"Jessica, please take it! This is okay! Compared to Jessica Jessica's slurring tone, Wendy was more calm. Wendy took out a pale blue silk cloth from her cuff, which was a spare handkerchief that Wendy had been keeping in her backpack. At this time, the handkerchief was wet and dripping, presumably just soaked in the river to absorb water. Could it be that Wendy had already expected the porcelain bowl to be knocked over?
"I'm sorry I can only think of this method, but please accept it!" Wendy's voice was a little high, a little different from her usual one, but Jessica didn't notice it.
The attackers on the other side are getting more and more restless, and they are almost unable to resist the urge for revenge.
Jessica took the handkerchief, and just took a corner of the handkerchief in her mouth, and the river water flowed backwards into Jessica's mouth. Jessica's physical strength and mana that had received this support began to recover significantly. This is exactly the characteristic of the Dragon Slayer Magus. In 'eating' the substance with the same origin as one's own attributes, it can restore physical strength and magic power, and can enhance one's own combat power.
It's just that Jessica is just a half-person who reluctantly becomes a dragon slayer magician by relying on the 'water heart' implanted in her body, and at the cost of not only losing her sense of taste, smell, and touch of water, but drinking water will not directly increase her magic power.
Well! This is? For some reason, Jessica's tongue tasted a salty, salty, astringent taste. It's salty, salty to the heart. Jessica stares at Wendy closely, and suddenly notices two shallow tear streaks in the corners of Wendy's eyes. ???!!!
Wendy crying?!
Why are you crying?!
Because I couldn't protect her! Didn't give her a sense of security!
"Ahh
I swore that I would never let this happen! Don't let the people who care about you and you cry in front of you!!
Jessica's whole being is about to explode, and her heart is filled with self-blame and guilt. As if feeling Jessica's cry, Heart of Water began to accelerate the magic output of the activity, more and more, faster and faster. Soon it was beyond her usual best, and the magic filled Jessica's body.
The attacker's keen beastly instincts smelled danger from Jessica, and it continued to grow. It's dangerous to go on like this!
The attacker who made this judgment immediately charged, screaming of hatred, anger, and hatred as if to banish the uneasy feeling.
Jessica's gaze became cold, and her momentum was completely different from what she had just been. There is no more panic when they first come to the battlefield, only the determination of a warrior who has the people he wants to protect, the things he must protect.
"Wendy, I've received your heart, and the power is pouring out!"
The attackers were as fast as ever, but Jessica was the same as the two of them. Calm coping, calm eyes.
Jessica was quickly adapting to the battle, constantly catching the afterimage of the attacker, anticipating its target in advance and resisting it. It also seems that the two sides are evenly matched.
However, this is not the case, and Jessica is still unable to catch up with the attackers and give an effective counterattack. The attackers have always taken the initiative on the battlefield and have always put themselves in a safe place.
Jessica maintained her defense while thinking about what to do.
Judging by the confrontations so far, there are two main weaknesses of the enemy. The first is to switch attacks after moving at high speeds, and there will be a process of adjustment at that moment. This is the same for all human beings. There's no time to be flexible when you're reaching your top speed. There is also a problem of inertia when the rapid sprint to a complete stop, even the moment the goshawk pounces on the rabbit, it will open its wings and slow down to maintain balance.
As for the second weakness, it's the attacker's defense! The surface of the body is a smooth layer of skin, without a single trace of scales. And as a speed-specialized attacker, with strong defense or something, it's a complete waste! It is also an unrealistic idea. Look at that skin, and a powerful fist on the front can determine the victory. Even if you don't fight immediately, you can't affect your combat power.
The attacker couldn't help himself as Jessica pondered strategy, and he couldn't understand why the kid he had just allowed himself to slaughter was now such a hard bone to gnaw. So it immediately entered the berserk mode with little brain, and after luring Jessica to defend at normal speed, a small flaw in the hands and the water snake could not return in time, it actually trampled on the air with four legs and turned towards the door aimed at Jessica, like an arrow.
This is the attacker's life-saving hole card, which is generally used to escape for his life. After using it, the attacker will no longer be able to control his body, and there will be sequelae for a period of time, and his body will be sore. But under the anxiety of not being able to hunt prey for a long time and the hatred of humans, he used it without hesitation.
Dangerous!!!
In the face of the attacker who shot like an arrow, Jessica's eyes were still as unflustered as the cold river. There was even a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"You're the one you're waiting for! Water Dragon Slaying Magic -- Two Knife Streams, Double Dragons Capture Pearls! β
Jessica's hair shot out a water snake again, as if she had been gathering momentum.
How to catch the object faster than yourself, the hunters have long told us the answer. That is, to lure them into traps or special terrain. This is called please enter the urn!
The attacker, who was caught off guard by "Squeak", was unable to dodge the blow because he rushed too hard, and let out a short scream before being hit by the water snake and floating in the air, losing the ability to react. Seeing this opportunity, Jessica lunged at the defenseless assailant and threw a heavy punch.
'Poof~~' With the dull sound of hitting the water bag, the attacker's thin body threw himself into the tree, and after smashing a few leaves on the tree, he lay on the ground and did not move.
The enemy completely sank and the battle could not!
"Win? Win! β
When the magic power was fully restored, or even enhanced, Jessica felt that the fit of the magic power had improved, and Jessica, who could only send out one water whip, knew at that moment that she could use a second water whip if she wanted to, and she could also concentrate on enhancing the power of a water whip.
However, according to Jessica's judgment, even if he concentrated his magic on a water whip, he would not be able to catch up with the attacker, and it would be useless to have a strong force. And if the two water whips are used at the beginning, even if the situation improves temporarily, the attacker will understand Jessica's threat and be more cautious, so that victory will not be assured.
In this case, Jessica decided that the second knife should be hidden as a hole card, but then Jessica would have to face certain dangers. Fortunately, judging from the results, Jessica was right.
