Chapter 31: Fighting the Black Skin
Turning his head to look at his peers who were lying on the ground or smoking from the two thunderbolts, Barrett immediately refocused his attention on the dark elves in front of him. The riders who were in close contact with him were all dressed in delicate chain mail. Beneath the half-covered helmet, long silver-white hair and black jade faces were revealed—if it weren't for the pair of invisible eyes that were born to adapt to the darkness, these guys in front of them would definitely be beautiful.
The spears in their hands were like poisonous snakes, scurrying between the dwarves wrapped in full-body armor and turned into tin cans. The dwarven warriors, with their helmets covered on their heads, their gilte battle axes, roared their warsongs and slashed at the heads of the large lizards (mounts) in front of them—the Dark Elf riders clearly had the upper hand from the reach of their weapons.
And Barrett relied on his advantageous figure and extra-long arm length, held the broken peak in his hand and twisted violently, raised his arms and waved the Mo knife with a whirring sound. That burst of sword light was like a whirlwind, directly sweeping the nearby dark elf cavalry into it. It seems that because of being underground, the power transmitted from the feet is particularly strong - the dark elf rider under the giant mountain is instantly knocked out of the lizard's back.
Even the chain mail crafted by the Black Dwarves and the enchantment unique to the Dark Regions were still unable to save the life of the Dark Elf. It was as if the guy had been trampled by a herd of bison, and his entire chest was sunken. The flame of life in his eyes was extinguished before it hit the ground.
As if having spotted this striking target on the front, the vanguard officer of the lizard cavalry immediately turned his attention to Barrett. Of course, this guy himself can be said to be extremely conspicuous, because he did not wear chain mail like other cavalrymen, but wore a shiny and conspicuous cuirass.
And he held a blood-red halberd in his hand, as if blood was flowing on it. At the same time, the cloak behind it danced in the wind, and the lizards under the seat trampled on the fleeting footholds of the front line. In an instant, he rushed to Barrett.
The eerie black flames erupted from the dancing spear, and as it danced towards Barrett, the sparks that flew out and several dwarven warriors in the vicinity were all on fire.
Facing the scarlet pillar of fire, Barrett immediately turned around and stopped. The piercing sound of the collision between the Mo knife and the iron halberd - the tremendous power generated by the underground lizard running - even Barrett could not fully receive. To do this, he had to turn it sideways and deflect it with the blade of his sword.
But at this time. The enchanted iron halberd, which had been derailed, suddenly shook off. Finally managed to get past Barrett's shoulder armor. Although this is not even a collision with abrasions, it does not cause any physical damage. The iron halberd was filled with demonic fire and flashes of lightning, apparently an enchanted weapon.
Victims of its stabbing and slashing, whether in the body or in armor or shields, are immediately paralyzed and, in some cases, incapacitated.
"The player begins to toughen the judgment...... The tenacity verdict passed. "With a strong physique and a fairly good physique, Barrett successfully avoided paralysis in this immunity confrontation.
Barrett, who knew that this guy in front of him was not good at stubble, immediately slashed at the side waist of this black skin with a 'jade slash'. The huge Mo knife drilled inward along the weak point of the opponent's one-piece breastplate, but before the handle could feel the flesh, the dark energy in front of him found that the situation was not good and flew back. This guy completely abandoned his mount, and he didn't even look at the outcome of the battle.
After all, in the kind of society where the dark elves grew up. The members who are made up are often extremely selfish. Although there are also other things like the lead dice god, these guys have the ability to escape from this gloomy dark area a long time ago, and escape to the arms of the dark girl. And the rest have long been dying in internal competition. So in the face of danger, as long as these guys can survive, they will rarely choose to take care of the overall situation.
Just after Barrett had repelled the formidable enemy, a group of gnomes dressed in lightweight Mithril chain armor plunged into the battle with whirling and tumbling.
Their small size and dexterous movements made them a perfect fit in the chaos of battle. They never fight against any foe, instead aiming for the dark elves who are fighting the dwarves. Flanking and sneak attacks are their specialty.
Take advantage of that size and a deadly stabbing combo. Paired with sophisticated dwarven weapons, a significant number of dark elves fell under the sharp swords that stabbed from the knee. This is the best light infantry among the gnomes. The assassin of the battlefield - the Blade Dancer.
For many young gnomes, it is fashionable to participate in a sword duel for fame and glory. Among the clans, such duels are generally fought for sporting purposes, rather than duels filled with rage.
However, after a few setbacks, most young people get bored with the game and turn to something less dangerous.
However, some of them, possess a talent for fencing. These short guys have developed a love for blades and combat. They became fanatical about fighting. And indulged in the study of swordsmanship.
Their love of fencing has transformed the sport, glorifying the sometimes brutal slashing and slashing into an art form that can take the breath away of spectators and stain the blood of opponents. These sword dancers are particularly adept at dealing with opponents larger than them - equally important for any dwarf who wants to pursue the art of war.
Now they have completely abandoned all fancy performances and turned all their movements into elegant killings. Use this to fight against the dark elves who are attacking in front of you.
However, as a member of the elves, there are not many people who are equally agile among the attackers in front of them. Several skilled Dark Elves had crossed the direction defended by the caravan guards. They wielded their dual-wielding blades. Began to approach the rear row of 'surface creatures'.
Several dwarves in reserve quickly charged at the black skins, seemingly trying to intercept them. A dwarf roared in the middle of the term. Swinging his axe and slashing down, the dark energy warrior dodged sideways, jumped lightly, and slid directly on the dwarf's side.
Immediately after that, another Dark Elf dodged with nimbly steps. Seeing the right moment, when the dwarf was old, the scimitar slashed hard at the opponent's chest.
Although the dwarf's well-bodied cuirass protected him. But he still staggered, and he took two steps to barely stand still. Then another dwarf rushed to help, using a heavy sword rarely seen among dwarves. The black skin raised his knife to block, only to feel that half of his arm was numb from the shock, and hurriedly went to the side. A kick back jump to avoid being pursued.
Dwarves are short in size and have great strength, but they lack dexterity. The weapons used are heavy short soldiers such as giant axes and war hammers, and it is natural to be indomitable when charging in a formation on flat ground, but if you get caught in a grappling, you will often become tossing and turning and not flexible enough. The Dark Elves, on the other hand, are known for their ingenuity, and this situation is just right.
Faced with this situation, although Noodles wanted to be close to Rielly's side, as a light warrior, he had to rush forward to help the dwarves intercept the black skin that could break through the defense at any time.
But even if a dexterous warrior like Noodles joined in the interception, it would only entangle those dark elves with the warriors. Even in the rear Claudia. Auditore's mouth never stopped. But the short-lived spirit was only able to limit the actions of the blackskins slightly.
As for why the knight's ballad was not sung, it was because there was already a bard in the ranks. The same type of enhancement does not stack, and Claudia. The scope and intensity of Auditore's influence is not as good as that of the full-time personnel in the team.
A ring of light is named after Clematis. The center of Bot spread outward, and the value of prayer was greatly exerted in a battle of this scale. Of course, such conspicuous spells are also given to Klymatis. Botra is full of hatred. The crossbow arrows of the dark elves soon swarmed towards the young priest.
After a "tick-tock" sound, the anvil holding the shield successfully intercepted the barrage of arrows. But then the dwarven warrior with arrows stuck in his body fell to the ground, and the noodles immediately eased when he saw all this in front of him. The halfling wanderer hurried to reappear from where he had been stealing, but before he could reach the dwarf's side, he heard the snoring of the anvil.
"Is that a special poison from the Dark Elves?" The halfling, who was a wanderer, was clearly reminiscent of the famous 'Drow Poison'. Apparently among the arrows shot earlier. Some have been quenched with this not cheap elixir. Creatures affected by this toxin are said to be in a lethargic state for up to 8 hours.
Suddenly, a row of black smoke rose from behind the camel. Several of the dark energies lay down in an instant. This is where the dwarf musketeers are starting to wield, and the gunpowder of this world is not only expensive, but also requires spells to be processed. However, the gnomes who lack strength prefer this weapon. Although the trajectory is not easy to aim at, it can deal more damage at close range than the crossbow. It is also more effective against metal armor.
At the same time, several dwarven priests, holding aloft the warhammer and the emblem of the Soul Forger, sent blessings on the battlefield. Bless the valiant warriors who protect the front - they have a high timing, but it is Klymatis. Bot looked like a decoy thrown beforehand.
Immediately afterwards, a golden pillar of fire suddenly fell from the sky and hit the body of a man with a double knife black skin who was quite eye-catching. Although his strange body flickered with spiritual light and tried his best to resist, he was finally unable to defeat this golden flame, which turned into a cloud of green smoke along with the armor on his body.
Although the flames quickly condensed as if they could recognize enemies, and flew towards the dark elves on the side. The cycle repeats itself until the energy inside is exhausted. At this time, Rielly subconsciously looked back, only to see the golden flames burning outside the translucent amber dazzling runes on a wand of cooked copper - from a distance, it looked like fragments of the sun had appeared in this dim underground.
Each swing of the rune staff represented a flame descending from the sky. The long golden snakes that scurried around on the battlefield ruthlessly devoured the dark elves. The tumbling torches lit with the wails of the dark elves. This made the mage who had been repeatedly resisted by the magic resistance of the dark elves envious before: "Is this the rune priest of the dwarves?" ”
Often, Rune Priests are found alone in temples or church libraries in order to discover the secrets of the runes. Legend has it that the gods created a series of powerful characters, each containing a divine power to help them create and give order to the world.
However, during the long battles of the ancient times, most of the runes were lost. Even the gods could only vaguely recall the existence of the runes of divine power. And in some forgotten and dangerous space or isolated corner of the multiverse, these primeval runes are waiting to be discovered.
Since most of the runes that are circulating today have a strong connection to the gods of the dwarves or giants. Therefore, the skills of using runes all belong to the category of divine arts. Some people who learn rune magic even give up learning magic in general and devote all their energy to delving into the mysteries of runes, and most of these spellcasters will become rune masters.
A Rune Priest can learn a lot in the safety of a temple, but sooner or later he or she will have to put on his or her armor and walk out. Discover or create new runes and earn a place among the masters of rune magic. These special casters incorporate runes of power into their weapons and armor, invoke the gods and direct their power to strike enemies, using the runes as weapons to punish the enemies of the gods.
Seeing the wonderful performances of the rune masters, the casters of the dark elves were also anxious. As they chanted, a large number of low-level but effective spells struck towards the Runemaster's Gate - but just as the spell attacks were about to fall on the dwarves' heads, bright runes flashed on the kite shield on their chests and left hands. A misty silver-white magical light lit up.
Bright star-like runes are embedded in the twilight. Remotely shaped spells annihilated beyond the barrier of runes. Didn't hurt the dwarven rune master after him, even the slightest. Immediately after that, a low sound came from the deep corridor, and the dark elves who were still attacking retreated in an orderly manner. (To be continued......)
