Chapter 25: Symmetry
A silver-gray halo of light flickered on Roland's body, condensing into a ball of light the size of a ping-pong ball flying away from him, levitating beside him. As Roland prayed, the air around him suddenly became much colder, and the snow under his feet was smoothed out by some force, turning into an ice surface that faintly emitted a blue-gray glow.
At the same time, a silvery-white flame was quietly lit from Roland's body. Roland's long silver-white hair fluttered like flames without the wind.
From a distance, it looked like a silver humanoid flame was simply restrained by the black robe into a human form.
Roland decisively opened the realm of purification.
It just so happens that I randomly got a good magic today-
Roland subconsciously turned the ring on his left hand and took a deep breath.
Then, with Roland as the center, the snowflakes in the air disappeared out of thin air, and some of the approximately fifty meters in diameter were completely erased, leaving only the blue-white ice surface under Roland's feet.
Seeing this scene, Bernard not only did not attack Roland, but let out an even more crazy laugh.
He pulled his hood down, revealing the horribly bloody face inside.
"Higgs!"
Bernard knelt on the ground without warning, and repeatedly called out Higgs's name, with a distorted look of piety on his face: "Higgs—"
He covered his face tightly with his hands, and the whole person fell to the ground, as if bowing to Roland.
Bernard covered his face with his hands, buried his face deep in the ice, sniffed the frost on the ground like a dog, purred in his throat with the satisfaction of a beast, and suddenly stood up and sobbed like a cry while laughing.
Meet and go straight to the third stage? It's smoking crazy, it's ......
Roland's heart tightened. Giving up the preparation to continue to strengthen himself, he rushed forward with a wrong step.
He had planned to fill up all the stats he could add to himself before entering the battle.
But now it seems. Roland seems to be overthinking...... Could it be that one of his actions angered him?
But since Bernard has begun to kneel and pray, it means that it is irreparable.
Until now. Those things were no longer important—as the silver-black thorn lines on Roland's forehead flashed, Roland's right hand suddenly twisted in the air, forming a new stance.
It was a long sword full of cracks. But as Roland flicked his right arm, which had turned into a sword, the silver-gray sword broke off one by one, turning into a steel whip made of more than a dozen pieces of metal.
If Marco was here, he would immediately find that Roland's right arm was wearing the same weapon as the steel whip in his hand!
But unlike Marco's Heartbroken Hand, this steel whip not only does not have poisonous fire wrapped around negative energy. Instead, he was wrapped in a silvery-white clean flame, and at last he couldn't even see what kind of weapon was hidden in the flames.
The weapon, which was originally as hideous as a torture instrument, simply changed the color of the flames, and the sensation it brought changed from pure horror to awe-inspiring holiness.
Although it doesn't have the special effect of Marco's Heartbroken Hand, this steel whip is the most handy of any whip sword Roland has ever used.
Unlike Mark's simple brute force smashing downwards - Roland only took one step and then abruptly stopped his forward charge.
Then, with the help of the power of the forward rush, turn the waist and pump horizontally!
The silver thorny light and shadow flickered, and the rancid flesh foam splattered in all directions. Bernard's waist, which was two meters away, was suddenly scraped open with a huge crack that was a palm wide and a finger deep!
Roland then swung his whip again, scraping off a tip of Bernard's jaw, and the white scum was scattered in the black, rotting flesh, but Bernard did not let out any wail. It's like it wasn't himself who was hit by Roland.
After confirming that his two blows had successfully inflicted damage, Roland immediately pulled back, not greedy for the knife.
Although Bernard still prayed on earth. But Roland knew that if he still stepped forward to attack at this time. will fall into Bernard's trap.
Silver-white flames were already burning on Bernard's wounds. Under the scorching fire of purification, Bernard's skin withered and melted like a piece of plastic on fire. A black liquid flows out and emits a terrible burnt odor.
Marco's steel whip is a centipede-like shape, and when it hits people, it does not deal the cutting damage of a normal long whip, but instead deals terrible blunt damage and slash damage.
Roland doesn't have the brute strength of Marco, even if he is blocked or parried by a personality at close range, he can pull the steel whip and scrape over the enemy one by one, and even hold the steel whip with both hands to directly strangle people who are too close to him. But Roland didn't dare to do that.
Bernard's attack range is very close, but the moment he grapples an enemy, the burst of damage is enough to leapfrog the second man. Roland is not interested in testing whether the current Bernard can directly kill his own boss in seconds.
This is a boss that can treat knife cancer very well, and in addition to Bernard's special mechanics, the essence of this boss is to never be greedy for knives. Even the defenders must not approach Bernard easily.
Within three meters of Bernard is a place of death. Unless Bernard is praying, the approach will be killed.
Transitions are not a good time to attack. Roland knew it was dangerous, but he had to get close to Bernard.
I'll have to run into him at least once.
Because negative energy damage and most of the Death Spells are ineffective against Bernard, Roland's only means of inflicting damage on him are the Purifying Fire and the Baptismal Chant.
And just by baptismal chanting, Roland's output is definitely not comparable to Bernard's ability that will gradually improve over time. If you only use the baptism chant of constant damage, Roland can only retreat helplessly if he drags it behind.
However, after hanging the flame on Bernard, which also increases damage over time, the scene is now back in balance.
Seeing that he had succeeded, Roland retreated backwards without hesitation, and withdrew more than thirty meters in one breath before stopping.
"Rest on my hands! Your sins will be oiled and sealed! ”
Roland prayed aloud as he stepped backwards to avoid the death verdict at Bernard's side.
At the same time as Roland performed those two times, the scattered floating light clusters around him had turned into pieces of black feathers, and at this moment, with Roland's prayer, the large feathers turned into sharp blades, pointing at Bernard trembling uneasily.
At this time, Bernard's muffled prayer voice suddenly became clear, and his voice became louder and louder: "...... Tell Higgs, open your eyes, look at this generation—"
His right hand suddenly turned into five crimson vipers, piercing Roland's ice and burrowing into the ground.
Then the ground began to tremble, and the ice beneath Bernard's feet suddenly shattered in large pieces.
Bernard opened his eyes, his bloodshot trembling eyeballs colliding with Roland's gaze.
Silvery-gray and yellowish.
Sanity and madness.
Chanting and prayer.
The two of them were far away, and at the same time showed an inexplicably happy smile.
The next moment, the gale howled, and the meteors falling from the sky collided with the serpents rising from the ground. )
PS: Finally, I recommend a friend's book Broken Dawn (ISBN 1001418284), a new book in the game, and mercury is a type, but the protagonist is not a deep well ice is _(:з)∠)_
And after the background revision, I won't push it......_(:з"∠)_
