Chapter 114: Duel II

As the distance between the two sides widened again, the battle between Finn and the Joker reverted to a brief standoff, and the young paladin felt a viscous liquid thicker than water slip out of the gap on the left side of his face.

It was the blood on his face, with the clown smeared on the dagger.

He was poisoned.

"You're such a madman." Prostrate on all fours five or six meters away from Finn, the clown looked at the bloody gap on Finn's face with interest, and after a while, he gently shook his head and commented with a sigh.

"It's fine." Finn glanced back to the side, observing the woman's stance as before, casually replying, "At least it's a lot more sane than you guys." ”

"Than us?" The Patriarch of the Demon Sect lifted her masked face to the young paladin, "Do you mean your ridiculous faith, young man?" ”

"Pretty much." He tilted his head and replied, "But I don't think there's anything funny about justice...... Just as you think that destruction is the truth, everyone's faith is not ridiculous, but some are noble and some are sad. ”

With that, he raised his hand to wipe the blood from his face, and refocused all his energy on guarding and guarding against the clown.

[Clown (?) )??? /??? 】

's specialty effect displays a small portion of the Joker's profile data on his retina.

Due to the relationship between the low level of the specialty and the high level of the target, Fein is now unable to directly see the level value and specific HP of the Joker. In addition, through this cross-class acquired Ranger specialty, Finn saw that the color of the Joker's health bar was red, which meant that the opponent's level was at least 5 levels higher than him, which was undoubtedly a red flag.

The corners of the paladin youth's eyes closed with a subconscious blink.

At this moment, I don't know if it was a coincidence or the other party deliberately seized this opportunity, the clown's body crawling on the carpet of the hall on all fours suddenly pounced on Finn like a hunting leopard.

Her posture and speed this time were as vigorous and swift as last time.

There was a sharp "choking" sound, and the giant sword of the young paladin had to intersect with the short sword of the female patriarch.

In the nick of time, the young paladin figured out the Joker's line of attack, and the weapons in their hands slammed together, but the Patriarch of the Demon Sect seemed to be a dexterous cat again, and her slender but powerful wrist used the short sword against the Whiking Blade as a lever to tilt her body forward to produce a volley of side flips, and the poisoned short sword then flipped over in her hand, and then slid diagonally against the side of the greatsword and slid towards Finn's hand holding the hilt.

"Assassin's backhand swordsmanship!" Finn's eyes widened suddenly, and he immediately recognized the name of the clown's trick in his mind.

He hadn't forgotten that the Joker's advanced profession was just after the professional advancement.

As he knew, backhand swordsmanship, which was truly buffed by skill effects, was almost an unsolvable melee technique in 460 of the Quaternary Age. During this time, Ferdia's Assassins took pride in mastering the backhand swordplay, knowing that this move was invulnerable, and that ordinary assassination targets could easily defeat them, and the master who could crack it must not have been born yet.

Of course, the Assassins in 460 had reason to be proud, but they were wrong about two things, and that is-

First, the person who can crack the backhand sword technique has been born, and that person's name is Raymond, and the people of another time and space call him the Blood Sword Saint.

Second, the backhand swordsmanship in this time period is no longer unsolvable.

Because at this moment, the person facing this killing move is Finn.

Finn came to this world, and with the memories and experiences of his previous life, he naturally remembered how the vampire Swordmaster, who had fought with him several times in his previous life, cracked this tricky swordsmanship.

So, instead of retracting or raising his weapon in a panic like most of the Aboriginal warriors frightened by this move, he immediately made the same hand movements as the Joker had just done - shaking his wrists, turning his arms, and twisting his hands and elbows with his wrists, causing the greatsword called Whistling Blade to twist the air around it and flip it like a wheel.

The short sword that glided on the side blade of the greatsword was suddenly deflected in the direction of another line of attack by the flipped greatsword.

The Patriarch of the Demon Sect had a moment of surprise and surprise in her eyes, and she immediately realized that Fein had just performed some terrible feat.

The Assassins' vaunted backhand swordsmanship has been cracked - just now!

"Could it be that he is still a master of swordsmanship?" The Patriarchess's mind flashed through this conjecture for a moment.

Then, she immediately gave up the idea of cutting Finn's hands with her backhand swordplay, and withdrew the short sword that had been gliding in the direction of the giant sword from the side edge of the greatsword to her side, while maintaining a volley posture and raising her upward left arm, stretching out her claw-like left hand and grabbing Finn's right shoulder quickly.

The Joker's movements suddenly became a little sluggish.

Finn didn't dare to look the Joker in the eye, but the corner of his eye and his outstanding perception immediately detected this small detail, and immediately confirmed that this was an opportunity to fight back.

The young paladin immediately swung the giant sword in his hand and slashed to the right.

In the next second, the aristocratic trench coat worn by the Joker to disguise himself as the Earl was about to touch the Whirling Blade - at this moment, the Patriarch of the Demon Sect suddenly disappeared from the corner of Finn's eye.

At that moment, after disappearing from Finn's vision, the Joker's figure swayed eerily in the air beside Finn, and then circled behind Finn's back like a shadow.

That's the displacement skill.

The reason why Finn had to stand on the edge of the castle hall was precisely because he was always on guard against the clown from using this unexpected displacement skill to go around behind him, preventing the shepherd of the Demon Sect from successfully targeting his back and connecting a set of skills directly to himself.

But now he's misaligned.

Just now, in order to catch the flaws exposed by the clown in his afterglow, he swung the sword in his hand and slashed to his side, and the moment his waist turned, he subconsciously stepped forward with his left foot. With this small step, a portion of the space behind him was cleared from the shadows on the wall of the hall, and the Joker's skill was put to good use, and he could almost feel the smiling white mask staring at his back ready to stab him.

At this moment, he suddenly understood something.

The Joker's slowed down movement a second ago was not a chance at all, but a carefully calculated trap.

He's fooled!

"Poof—"

There was a sharp sound of a sharp weapon piercing through the flesh, and the venomized dagger then bitten through the chain mail worn by the young paladin like the fangs of a viper, and the blood-red color immediately soaked through the shirt under his armor.
