Chapter 25: Fear
On this thick-backed rhinoceros, when I was being carried around by it, I noticed that something was wrong, but I didn't think much of it. It wasn't until I stabbed the rhinoceros with a sword from its neck to the back of its head that I finally figured out what the problem was.
As a LV25 mid-level magical beast, the thick-backed rhinoceros does not have very strong magical power, nor does it rely on high-level agility to sneak attack opponents, but relies on its huge body and unimaginable strength to dominate among intermediate magical beasts. Adult thick-backed rhinoceros is generally six to eight meters long, and the one in front of me is only more than three meters, which is too poorly developed, right? Or is it underage?
As I sat on the dead thick-backed rhinoceros and looked at it closely, the rhinoceros suddenly turned into a purple spot of light and dissipated, and I fell to the ground, and Ellie laughed even harder.
Okay, it turned out to be Ellie, you did it!
Monster Mirror LV25 (non-upgradeable): Mystic Intermediate skill, which can create any monster mirror you know well, and the mirror lasts for 30 minutes. The higher the strength of the mirror, the higher the mana consumed.
(Go, the most powerful creature in my memory, wife, why are you here?) )
It's obvious that Ellie made it out to tease me. I said, how could such a small thick-backed rhinoceros make a 'knock', 'knock' footsteps?
Looking at Ellie, who was already laughing and tearing down her face, I leaned against the trunk of the tree next to me, thinking about the shortcomings of the 'drill' just now.
First, I actually rushed up to fight the thick-backed rhinoceros under the teasing of Ellie? This is an otherworld of magic and skills, not a primitive society. As a mage, it was obvious to me that I should distance myself and wear down my opponent first, and when this rhinoceros came close to me from exhaustion, I could calmly add shields, attack, and defense, and then go up and fuck him.
Second, when the rhinoceros has been unable to grasp the center of gravity on its back and cannot use the spell normally, I should have disengaged in time instead of taking out my weapon and fighting it. This time it's a thick-backed rhinoceros, and there's no way to attack the creature on its back, so if it's a scorpion next time, it won't be fun.
Thirdly, I didn't take it into account...
'Knock', 'knock', 'knock', and there was another sound of heavy footsteps, and I leaned against the trunk of the tree, helplessly looking back at Ellie: "Ellie, stop playing, I'm thinking about things?" ”
But what appeared in front of me was a thick-backed rhinoceros that was more than eight meters fast and nine meters fast, with huge gray-white horns, covered in cyan skin, with black soft fur on its belly, with its head down, red eyes, and overwhelming sand and dust rushing towards me!
At the critical moment, thanks to yesterday's evasion training that saved my life, I quickly rolled to the side and pounced, although I ate some sand, but finally did not get hit by the thick-backed rhinoceros in a rage. With the huge body and the power of the charge, if this is realized, I will break more than half of my ribs if I don't die.
'Noron Nolon, are you alright?' Ellie's voice sounded in my head, "This thick-backed rhinoceros may have seen the scene of the little rhinoceros I summoned dissipating, and thought that his young brother was killed by you, and now you want to avenge it, you have to be careful!" ’
Damn, I'm really so lucky today, I can casually meet a thick-backed rhinoceros that will not exceed a hundred even in the entire Barren Cliff Mountains, and it just happened to appear after Ellie's spell dissipated, should I thank Lady Luck? I really don't want this kind of luck!
The thick-backed rhinoceros didn't hit me, and at a distance of about twenty meters from me, it turned around and continued to charge at me, and I tried to release a rock blade at it, but it only caused a shallow wound.
I kept jumping under the charge of the thick-backed rhinoceros, and in the meantime I prepared a potion of stamina to replenish my strength, thinking about how to let go of this big creature .
Stamina Potion LV5 (Rare): A potion that replenishes stamina, which can restore a certain amount of stamina after use, the amount of recovery varies from person to person, and the cooldown time is 24 hours).
(Come on, come on, dry this potion, let's fight for another 300 rounds!) )
I'm a whopping ten levels from it, and in fact, if it weren't for the agility and speed that I have given to my title, any new advanced French professional would have been trampled into meat sauce by this furious thick-backed rhinoceros. But even with a stamina potion to spare, I think I should pay attention to reducing stamina exertion.
After another thrilling dodge, the thick-backed rhinoceros did not charge directly at me, as it had done the previous times, but lowered its head and opened its mouth, and a huge wind bomb erupted from its mouth, and quickly shot at the unsuspecting me.
Damn it! Forget about it! In a hurry, I forgot to cast the protection of the earth, but clasped my hands to my chest, gritted my teeth, and prepared to hold on to this attack.
But just as the wind bomb was about to hit me, a purple shield appeared in front of me and was shattered by the wind bomb, but then the wind bomb's strength was also consumed a lot, and it only knocked me over a few times.
Amethyst Shield LV15 (non-upgradeable): The Mystician's signature defensive spell summons a small round purple magic shield, the more mana output, the bigger the round shield.
(What a beautiful shield!) )
"Noron, why are you standing there in a daze! At this time, you should use the guardian of the earth to protect yourself, and quickly lie down to the side, instead of standing stupidly and taking the attack! Ellie jumped to her feet as she watched, "Noron, I'll protect you!" Now continue to use this stupid rhinoceros for actual combat training, you can test all the tactics you can think of on it, and compare them to find the best way to fight. ”
But I still maintained the awkward position I had when I was knocked away, sitting still and gasping for breath. In fact, as soon as I saw this eight-meter-long behemoth, if it hadn't been the first to attack me, I would definitely have left silently without alarming it, because I was a little scared.
The reason brought by my strong will tells me to believe in myself, this is just a mid-level monster, and it is not a big deal; But on the other side, the otaku who had seen the largest animal, that is, an elephant, saw such a terrifying giant beast rushing towards him, and his first reaction was to run away!
Living in an era of peace, even if there is a fight, it is just a punch from you and a kick from me, and there are many people who bully few people, but there is always a sense of proportion, and it is rare to see red. But in the other world, faced with a life-and-death battle at every turn, I flinched, stunned, and stupefied.
The little rhinoceros that Ellie had just summoned was a battle game, and it didn't make me feel like an existential crisis. However, when a head-sized wind bomb was about to hit me, I forgot about Ellie's teachings in the past few days, forgot all kinds of skill props on my body, and stood in fear like a stupid person, as if I had given up, and let the wind bomb hit me.
PS: I'm so dizzy, so sad・・・・・・
