A calm, low prayer rang out.

The silver-gray astral language was connected into several rings, slowly rotating around Roland who was carrying the silver-white flame.

Gray-white spots of light emerge from the air like wild weeds that grow wildly, fluttering in the air like cotton wool.

Cold, sticky – it's reminiscent of bone marrow.

"Never forget to sing, never forget to pray, never forget to sleep."

Roland stood in front of the entrance, and the silver-white flame shrouded him in a solemn expression.

His tone of prayer became calmer and calmer, but the killing intent in the air gradually boiled.

The flame on his body seemed to be enraged, and it beat violently.

It's not so much a flame as a monster covered with tentacles.

"Appoint me, learn from me, obey me," Roland said in one breath, and suddenly took a breath, his voice suddenly amplified, and he was excited, "Rest in my hand-"

The invisible fluctuations centered on Roland and spread rapidly to the surroundings.

Sticky, gray-white spots of light burst into flames, and the reassuring scent of spices wafted through the air until it filled the entire space. Silvery white blazing light radiated out in all directions, illuminating the underground passage with no light source in a miserable white.

After the gray-white light spots burned out, large black feathers appeared in the air.

It was a delicate feather carved out of black crystal.

It's like a gale. Hundreds of feathers fluttered wildly in the air, but they always wrapped around Roland's side.

At this moment, Roland felt a faint tremor emanating from beneath his feet.

The earth is roaring.

The earth is roaring—

- However, Roland could not retreat.

Instead, he took a step forward and shouted, "Rest in my hands!" ”

Under the frenzied killing intent, the short sword on Roland's waist made a crisp sound, and he popped out of the scabbard by more than an inch.

Roland didn't hesitate.

He held aloft his sword, which was completely entangled in the flames. Take another step forward.

The surrounding air is distorted in the heat. The black feathers fluttered even more violently in the invisible storm.

Just when Roland's momentum reached its peak, a bright red figure instantly smashed through the cracked wall, and the momentum of thunder struck!

Roland did not hesitate to activate the [Gathering Strike] before making contact with the enemy.

The pale white light quickly sank from Roland's elbow into Roland's sword-wielding right wrist.

Suddenly, a large area of green tendons on Roland's slender and well-proportioned right arm suddenly burst out.

However, Roland didn't turn on [Continuous Attack] first as he used to.

[Continuous Attack] This attack stance allows Roland to deal multiple damage to enemies in a row with the shortest attack time in normal times. Meantime. It can also reset Roland's attack animation when it is activated, similar in terms of effect to the Weapon Master's unique defensive stance [Reswing Stance].

If Roland is playing Ben now and has T absorbing damage, of course, he can first turn on [Continuous Attack] to put it on cooldown, and hit his own burst before the cooldown is about to end, so as to maximize the damage output of the opening burst.

But not right now.

Roland is not a weapon master now, just an ordinary warrior. As such, he does not have the trait of "Mastery Combo" - that is, Roland's attack stance requires at least eight "hits" to recover from the cooldown.

Moreover, among the two series of attack stances that can reset the attack action of the Warrior's "Combo" and "Flurry", Roland also has only one [Continuous Attack] that is the most basic in the "Combo" series.

— In other words. Roland has a chance to reset his actions every eight effective attacks or parries.

Although Roland can mow the grass at will in the Singia Tavern, those scum don't even have a formal rank, and Roland can refresh his various postures with a single blow. The charge is completely permanent, and the rapid attack is a permanent state, and Roland's concentrated blow has no chance to use it.

- But it's one thing to mow the lawn, and it's another thing to single out Elukado.

When facing Elukado, Roland only has the moment to reset his attack move. Only then did he have the confidence to use "Block" to block Elukado's attack.

With his own perception approaching twenty points, Roland had the confidence to detect Elukado's every move. But Roland's agility didn't allow Roland to react correctly in a quick succession of offense and defense.

Roland's agility stat is 9.8. Just the slightest bit of change can be made.

But what Roland lacks is this little bit.

So. Now there is only one path in front of Roland-

- [Defensive Counterattack]

A light blue halo rose from Roland's right elbow and sank into Roland's eyebrows.

Suddenly, Roland's silver-gray pupils were dyed with a faint trace of azure.

This is a defensive stance that allows Roland to better intercept high-speed objects.

In his vision, everything slowed down. Including the action of dodging yourself.

And the opening of these two attack postures, Roland completed them in an instant.

The moment the wall was smashed, Roland had already moved. Swinging the sword in his hand, he slid sharply to his right.

The moment he left where he had been standing, a blood-red comet rushed over it with a loud roar. Two deep ravines appeared in the ground.

A bursting hurricane rolls up from Roland's side. A scarlet streak fluttered in the wind, torn apart by the hurricane in the blink of an eye.

It wasn't Roland's blood, it was Elukado's.

It was the moment when Roland was dodging. A blow that comes out with instinct. Roland himself didn't know exactly where he had slashed Elukado.

The attack worked, but Roland didn't let up in the slightest.

He immediately turned around, the ground under his feet rubbing violently, and the dirt turned up.

Roland's right hand was instantly retracted under the light white halo, and he returned to the most suitable position for exerting force.

But Roland didn't choose to put his staff and sword up for defense.

As if he were holding a knight's spear, he laid it flat and lowered his center of gravity to open the "block".

A light blue halo instantly enveloped the staff sword. It's just that the staff and sword made of mortal iron have become indestructible under the bonus of mystical power.

Half a second passed, and the scarlet comet turned around and crashed into it again.

Almost fearless of death, she slammed into Roland's sword.

With a thud, the sharp staff sword easily pierced Elukado's abdomen. However, Elukado did not stop the pace of the charge, but continued to rush towards Roland against the flame burning in his abdomen and the sharp blade that pierced him.

Finally—

Almost exactly the same as Anvilia, except that the young girl with black hair and red eyes rushed to Roland's side with a sinister smile,

Her skin was completely open under its own velocity, dripping with blood.

Thanks to her remarkable immortality, her skin was repaired as it was destroyed. She raised her blood-stained fist and blasted at Roland like a demon god.

The air was squeezed under her sheer force, squeaking with an overwhelming sound.

Before her fist came, it was enough to shred the tender flesh. The hurricane is already coming.

This is definitely not a damage that the staff and sword can stop.

Roland had no doubt that as long as he was hit by this punch, the position above his abdomen would explode directly, and his entire upper body would turn into fine flesh foam and fly away.

He didn't doubt that if he had raised his staff and sword before, with his own strength like a duck, Elukado would definitely smash the staff and sword into his skull.

Roland knows it all too well. Elukado's attack is an instant damage that he can't withstand with a single blow.

However, it was already too late.

Roland didn't hesitate to let go of his sword, and then the swept storm retreated.

When he had just brushed past Elukado, Roland had completed an effective attack. Under the effect of the battle chant, the remaining two lines of Roland's baptismal chant were omitted.

So Roland cried out, and the baptismal chant was completed at once—

"Only may the Lord have mercy on this wretched soul!" (To be continued.) )
