Chapter 21: Witcher Tactics
"Hiss......"
A wisp of white smoke floated from Co'vogart's black armor.
The undead black knight named Ko'vogart held the long handle of the giant scythe in his right hand, and his left hand covered his chest, and the two dark golden soul fires in his eyes became slightly dimmed.
A second ago, the black knight took a step to the side in order to avoid Finn's attack, but he didn't expect that the elf girl behind Finn, who was four or five meters away from him, suddenly aimed at it with a giant crossbow and shot a giant light arrow with an exaggerated size at it.
The magic damage attached to that giant arrow of light is like a natural enemy to the undead Ko'vogart. The breastplate part of its black armor was hit by this giant light arrow just now, and its entire body retreated several steps back against the sudden impact, and the part of the breastplate that was blocked by the left hand had already cracked a large hole at this time, and Sen Bai's bones were faintly visible from the hole.
"Magic Catapult Shooter......" Ko'Vogart looked angrily at Arya, who had just picked up a giant crossbow and launched a sneak attack on it, "Damn elf, you're really going to cause me trouble!" ”
As the words fell, the flames of the two soul fires in Co'vogart's eye sockets "boomed" and grew larger again, and the black knight immediately regarded Arya as its first source of threat, and rushed towards Arya with a huge scythe in his right hand.
"Don't run!" Seeing that Co'vogart's hatred was drawn to Arya, Finn immediately picked up his greatsword and attacked the future Black Knight General again.
Finn's greatsword slashed at Co'Vogart's bone head from the side, and Co'Vogart' immediately stopped, slashed his right hand, and used the scythe to deflect Finn's greatsword to the side.
Dragged by Finn, Co'vogart's plan to attack Arya was suddenly ruined.
After a breath, Finn immediately stabilized his balance and stood in front of the black knight.
"Get out of here!" Co'vogart stared at Finn in exasperation, its bony jaw wide and roared.
"Paladins don't give way to the undead." Finn stared at the black knight in front of him, his eyebrows raised, "Co'vogart, your opponent is me." ”
With that, he swung his greatsword and continued to entangle Co'vogart so that it could not take a gap in the fight to attack Arya.
Having fought several times with Co'vogart in his previous life, Fein was well aware of many of Co'Vodgart's characteristics and was familiar with Co'vogart's fighting habits.
In contrast, at this time, Co'vogart did not know Fein at all.
With the double disadvantage of experience and strength, Co'vogart knew that Arya was a greater threat to it at this time, but he couldn't break through Finn's steely humanoid barrier and hurt Arya at all, and he was constantly hit by the giant light arrows shot by Arya, and his health dropped like a waterfall.
"That's amazing......" Arroyo muttered unconsciously as she stood beside Lilith, her eyes witnessing the battle between Fein and Co'vogart as if they were watching a wonderful chivalric show.
In the eyes of the young thief, every attack that Co'vogart unleashed with his scythe was as unstoppable as a thunderbolt, but Finn parried every attack of Co'vogart with his greatsword, and each counterattack was able to force Co'vogart back, and then let the latter firmly catch Arya's glowing arrow.
His instincts told him that Co'vogart's overall strength should be above Finn and Arya. However, so far in the battle, the undead black knight seems to have been suppressed by Finn and Arya all the time, except for the more imposing when he appeared.
"Could it be that Lord Finn is still a master of swordsmanship?" Arroyo couldn't help but guess when he saw Finn use his greatsword to pick out the scythe that Co'vogart was slashing at him at a clever angle.
After all, in the continent of Ferdia, some warriors with paranormal skills are often able to defeat enemies that should be stronger than them.
Dragons, for example, are born with the power to destroy a human city, but some swordmasters are even able to challenge these dragons in mortal form to accomplish the feat of dragon slaying.
Of course, in his previous life, Finn could be regarded as a quasi-swordmaster who had raised his expertise to the level, but his specialty at this time was only at the elementary level, and most of the swordsmanship moves he used against Anderson Beast Hitomi and his entanglement department 'Vungarte at this time in the wolf's tooth stronghold two days ago were actually imitated by him based on the memories and experiences of his previous life.
Players have upgradeable specializations from lowest to highest, ranging from beginner, intermediate, advanced, expert, master, grandmaster, and ultimate, and each class has a different cap level for different specialties based on their different class characteristics.
For example, a profession can raise a specialty to the highest, but a profession that can be upgraded to a level can only be upgraded to the highest, and this spellcasting specialty can't even be learned.
The Paladin class can be upgraded to a maximum of one specialization.
In order to make up for the gap in rank, Finn's swordsmanship that he imitated according to the memories of his previous life at this time was basically all master-level skills, and Co'vogart was now just like Anderson Beast Pupil two days ago, and he couldn't adapt to this kind of swordsmanship that surpassed the level of other combat skills of the same era.
While Arroyo was secretly amazed in her heart, Arya was impressed by Finn's combat skills as she adjusted her position and shot Co'vogart with a giant crossbow.
Arya was worried that the crossbow would seriously affect her movement speed and agility before the battle began, but found that her worries were completely unnecessary.
She found that her output was like a shooting range, and Co'vogart was like a moving live target for her to shoot, and she couldn't get out of her way to attack her the next time Fein was pestered.
In other words, the output environment that Finn created for her was too perfect.
Arya was certain that as long as she didn't slip and put the crossbow crosshair on Finn's back, the Black Knight named Co'vogart would sooner or later be overwhelmed by her and Finn's combined tactics.
The dawn of victory seems to be beckoning to her!
"Whoosh!"
The whistling of the blade piercing through the air was heard again, and Arya once again grabbed a gap in Finn's forced back from Co'vogart, and immediately paid 10% of her current mana to create a new giant arrow of light and shoot it out.
As the mana was consumed, the size of this giant arrow was noticeably not as large as the original one.
But even so, Co'vogart is already at the end of his crossbow.
The black knight was hit by the slightly smaller giant light arrow, and he took several steps back before propping the scythe upside down on the floor of the rock hall and kneeling on one knee in front of Finn's eyes.
"Did it work?!" Arya's eyes widened, and she stared at the black knight who was half-kneeling from a distance.
"No, not yet." Finn replied to Arya with composure, his eyes cautiously looking at Co'vogart, and his hands clenched the hilt of the Whirling Blade and he stood still on guard.
In his memory, Co'vogart had two boss stages.
When the health is greater than 50% of total health, Co'vogart will simply swing its scythe and attack the player physically.
However, after half of his health, the Black Knight of the Undead will take out a magic item from one of his body and use it to summon a small force of undead summons.
"Regret it, magic bullet shooter, and young paladin." After two breaths, Co'vogart took out a black crystal ball from Sure Fruit, raised his eyes burning with dark golden soul fire and looked at Finn and Arya, "You forced me to use this thing...... You are about to pay the price for your stupidity! ”
After the words fell, the black knight, whose armor was already in tatters, crushed the black crystal ball in his hand with his five white bone fingers.
In a second, the crystal ball shattered into more than a dozen pieces with a "pop", and each crystal ball fragment immediately turned into a ghost wrapped in black mist and floated beside Co'vogart.
[Wraiths,?] /Undead/Void, total level 5 (level 5 undead), HP 56/56]
"Is it a wraith this time?" Finn glanced at the undead monster summoned by Co'vogart and muttered silently.
In a previous life, the undead summons summoned by Co'vogart during the Cataclysm were a group of undead soldiers who were terrified when they saw them.
In this life, here in the year 460 of the Quaternary Age, Fein guessed that Co'vogart would probably play another big summoning spell in front of him, but he thought that Co'vogart would definitely summon other types of undead creatures this time, instead of the ghost cavalry that was a headache to look at in his previous life.
Sure enough, since Co'vogart didn't have the strength of the Cataclysm period at this time, the things it summoned this time were only level 5 in total.
Wraiths have a rather annoying stat, and any physical attack on them has a 50% chance of being lost.
But all in all, compared to the group of ghost cavalry in his previous life who charged with the effect of mass fear, Finn felt that the wraiths were much easier to deal with.
"It's over, poor Devil Archer." Ko'vogart smiled coldly, and then ordered a dozen resentful spirits to gradually rise into the sky with the will of the high-level undead.
Co'vogart raised a bone finger and pointed at Arya a few meters behind Finn, and those resentful spirits immediately let out an unpleasant scream in mid-air in unison, and then crossed over Fein who was blocking him from above Co'vogart's head, and swooped towards Arya with two translucent claws!
