Chapter 110: The Third Stage
The pure white flame steamed on Roland's blade, and the air around it twisted.
The embracement of eternal sleep on Roland's body had begun to become transparent under the scorching flame, shining like glass.
As Roland's eyes sharpened again, he once again struck first, and a weighty sword was pointed at the Grand Duke's wrist.
Even if there was nothing under the armor, the Grand Duke's attack was interrupted by Roland. Because that was not the technique that those warrior monks east of Elkart liked to use, it was just a clever destruction of the Grand Duke's power point.
After Roland penetrated the Grand Duke's body and injected the flame, Roland directly detonated the Innocent Chant. His goal is to get the easier White Wolf out of the game first, and then focus on dealing with the Grand Duke.
After all, even if he didn't become the Ash Inquisitor, the difficulty of the White Wolf Grand Duke's challenge did not decrease much. His main combat power comes from his powerful attack power and extremely smooth offensive, as well as a sense of battle that is not weak.
Because in terms of setting, the "Grand Duke" at this moment is neither a heroic spirit nor a resentful spirit. He can't even be said to be an undead at the moment, but just a "device" to act. Naturally, they don't have much of the ability to think.
Of course, this does not mean that the armor itself produces a will. This is because the Grand Duke's will is too tenacious, and it has far exceeded the limits of human beings, so that the remaining souls in his body automatically gather and rely on the ability to act.
This soul body, condensed by pure will, is not only not filthy at all, but extremely clean. That is to say, the Grand Duke will not be purified by the unsullied chanting and baptismal chanting - because his existence is not some kind of defilement, and he has not violated the precepts of the Guru. His soul had already traveled to the realm of his mentor. Stay in the armor of the driving archduke's armor. It can be said that it is only the will of the "armor" itself.
If Roland was singing about the same with the Chant of Decay, he could at least pull it into the underworld. But in front of Lilia. Roland unexpectedly didn't want to use that dangerous thing.
Just as Roland frostbitten himself when he prayed with frost, even if he returned his lost life force at the end of the dying chant. But the aura of decay from the underworld still causes great harm to the human body.
Although it does not affect life expectancy, at least it will weaken people's resistance, and it is no exception to contract any diseases in the future.
However, even if the Grand Duke could not be directly purified, the sacred flame evoked by the Innocent Chant itself would reduce the recipient's magical resistance, so it was not impossible to say that Roland's blow had no effect on the Grand Duke.
His decapitator sword made a long mark on the Grand Duke's body. This would have been impossible ten minutes ago. Without using any stance, with the strength that had just broken through ten points, he used a weapon with a sharp attribute like a joke to cut through the plate armor on the Grand Duke's body - if the Grand Duke's defense was weak to this extent, the Grand Duke would not be called a group annihilation engine.
The reason why Roland was able to do this was because Roland's previous innocent chant was mostly exempted. But the remaining part still caused no small damage to the Grand Duke.
The armor on his body had become faintly red, covered in a layer of charred marks, and was constantly steaming with a scorching white steam reminiscent of molten iron, and the overall structure had become extremely fragile.
If it is in the game, this probably means that the Grand Duke has been directly driven from Roland's innocent chant to the end of the third stage from a near-full state. Now when Roland shatters his armor by about half, he will go berserk and enter the final fourth stage.
In traditional games, at this time, you will probably have to get stuck at the critical point of the change stage to cover the damage reduction skill, and turn on all the buffs. Trying to burst out the maximum damage in a short period of time and directly knocking the boss out in seconds. But this set does not apply in front of the Grand Duke.
As the Ash Inquisitor enters his final state of rage, his shattered armor will expel the dark red ash inside him like magma from an active volcano that has been detonated, leaving a trail of magma in his path.
If you step on it, even a druid with Elemental Endurance turned on won't feel good.
And. Not only is the Ash Inquisitor's entire set of attacks compressed into a second or soโin other words, three swords in a second, and he will step on the floor twice with the last instant jump split.
If you get hit, even if you successfully block, you're almost guaranteed to get the next hit. Once hit in the head by a jump split. That close to 500 points of damage can completely kill any human professional below the gold level in an instant. Even defenders can only parry or dodge, and frontal blocks will be severely injured.
The trouble of the battle doesn't stop there. Every time the Ash Inquisitor steps on the floor or performs a downlash. The magma on the ground will be reactivated and thrown into the air like a geyser. Then it snapped and fell to the ground, basically forming an impassable wall of magma.
This one-second three-shock division battlefield is simply incomprehensible, which seriously affects the player's positioning. If the anti-monster position is a little bad, you really don't need to fight after the fire wall is full on the field.
Once they are knocked down or burned to death by a shockwave or lava, and are within the range of the Ash Inquisitor's attack, they will even give the Ash Inquisitor a chance to slash for free.
Then it's a split, a split, an arc, a split, a split...... Well, the world is clear.
What Roland is worried about now is that although the Grand Duke has not been transformed into an Ash Inquisitor, he may not change much in his routine after his rage. At most, there is no wall of fire.
But whether there is a wall of fire or not, it doesn't make much difference for Roland. Roland's own fire resistance is high, and it has the characteristics of arson, and the magma can't burn Roland at all.
And once it can't be burned to death, it doesn't mean anything to Roland.
In other words, even if you face the Grand Duke alone, it is almost like letting Roland brush a bronze copy of the difficulty of twenty people at the level of one silver. The difficulty can be imagined.
But in general, the Grand Duke still has his core rules.
That is, every time he attacks, he must take a step. He stepped on the floor a few times, which was equivalent to a few attacks. And as long as Roland is within the range of the Grand Duke's attack, it is impossible for the Grand Duke to walk without cutting people.
In other words, whenever Roland saw the Grand Duke raise his leg, he had to immediately slash at the Grand Duke's wrist or elbow, depending on the situation. Then you can delay the Grand Duke's attack by about half a second.
Although Roland's reaction speed is completely timely, if he fails once, Roland will inevitably be cut.
To try to counter an attack in such close proximity comes at a cost of great results. That's an incredibly low margin for error.
Fortunately, the duke's instantaneous speed was much slower than that of the white wolf, and Roland opened the [Prerequisite] again with a headache.
Roland didn't have a shield after all, and he had to do all the work of a defender, exporter, and healer by himself. At this level, it is really difficult for a person to take on the Grand Duke alone.
He must not be allowed to enter a violent posture -
At this moment, only a dinging sound was heard, and Roland knocked off a charred and deformed piece of armor from the Grand Duke.
At that moment, Roland clearly felt that the Grand Duke's strength and speed had increased somewhat.
But Roland can't dodge, he must continue to forcibly stand with the Grand Duke, and continue to fight against the Grand Duke's attacks.
Behind him was Lilia.
There is no way back - (to be continued.) )
PS: Anyway, although the Grand Duke's attack routine is a bit like a hip-hop sword...... But don't you think it's more like Riven's light-speed QA 233?
