Chapter Ninety-Four: A Cautious Confrontation
. Shumilou.CoM.Shumilou.Co
Of course, although the methods of the twilight blade in front of him are outstanding among his peers, there is still a big gap compared to Barrett. As soon as they fought, Barrett immediately had a judgment in his heart: "If this guy didn't deliberately act, I should be able to handle it with his strength alone." The only thing to worry about now is what powerful strange thing that guy has on him. Of course, I don't know where to hide, the flying skull demon who has become the image of the 'Tiflin Girl' is also a threat......
Thinking of this, Barrett's eyes naturally began to sweep over every ornament on the opponent in front of him - whether it was the two glittering rings worn outside the leather gloves, or the bulging amulet hidden under the chain mail, or even the gems on the helmet, they were all the objects of Barrett's defense.
Of course, if it's just that guy, Barrett can suppress and beat that guy even if he needs to pay attention to the powerful strange objects on the other party. However, coupled with the need to guard against the 'Tieflin Girl' who could appear and sneak attack at any time, he was distracted and could only fight back and forth with the opponent - although Barrett was not very worried about the melee ability of the 'Tieflin Girl'. But that spell-like ability that belonged to the original Flying Skull Demon was silently activated. Barrett, who accidentally overturned in the gutter before, naturally increased his vigilance this time.
Maybe it's because the pace of the battle is too tight, or maybe it's because Barrett's attacks always hit the most uncomfortable ↖ route for the opponent. The Twilight Blade in front of him also became bumpy in his casting, and the spell that could have been completed in less than three seconds actually dragged on for nearly 10 seconds.
It's a pity that Barrett doesn't invest too many resources in the two skills of 'Occult Knowledge' and 'Spell Recognition'. The technique spell used by the Twilight Blade in front of him seemed to have been improved by the outfit, making it difficult to match the number even with the experience gained during the test - otherwise Barrett would have been able to take this opportunity a long time ago. Confirm what spell the opponent is using. That way, he wasn't just able to take precautions in advance. There is even a chance to continue to cast the necessary moves, and the empty move is a move to win.
Suddenly, Twilight Blade, who had swung his heavy sword to try to find Barrett's flaws, kicked his legs. Slipped back sharply. He then raised his self-consistent left hand and pointed at Barrett, and a flickering green light shot out of Twilightblade's hand in front of him.
Is it coming? Barrett, who had been prepared for this for a long time, immediately made a mistake, and at the same time, the 'broken peak' in his hand danced like mercury pouring into the ground, intercepting the green spell in front of him.
And Rielly, who was fighting on the sidelines, had already recognized the spell used by the Twilight Blade at this moment: "Weakening Ray?" Barrett is really cautious! With his spell resistance, it's unlikely that this ring spell will succeed. ”
"Do you think it's a bit strange about the scene? It always felt like Barrett could have dealt with that guy right away, but he was tied down. The halfling wanderer, who was holding his chin in his hand, couldn't help but let out such a sigh.
The experienced cat boy expressed his opinion at this time: "It gives me the feeling that Barrett seems to be on guard against something? But on the scene, it's just that guy and his pet. Either one should not make Barrett so vigilant! ”
"Since it's not a person, it's a thing! Could it be that he is worried that the other party has some powerful one-time curiosity? "Claudia. Auditore reached for his chin and nodded. You must know that the Church of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce can be said to be the richest organization in the Western Continent, and many of its members are wealthy people.
Many of them really have the habit of smashing people with money - after all, they can make more money when the money is gone, and if their lives are gone, they don't know if there is a chance to be resurrected! After all, not to mention the high cost of resurrection, at the same time, it is also necessary for the god of one's own belief to be willing to let people go. And Claudia, who spent some time in the church. Auditore, naturally, understands that extravagant way of fighting.
After her reminder, Rielly also remembered something. However, she still shook her head: "Although this is possible, I still think that Bharati is thinking too much. Generally, such strange objects are often harbinged when they are activated, and it is not difficult to dodge them with his skills. And those powerful and silent attacking strange objects are not so easy to get. It seems that sometimes knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing! ”
"Whatever you say, there's nothing wrong with being careful. Barrett said that our information was probably in the hands of that kid. If there is nothing to rely on. He's probably not going to play. "Claudia. Auditore was a rare shrewd person at this time.
And the twilight blade whose spell was broken in the field couldn't help but be stunned, and then Barrett immediately launched a counterattack at this opportunity. Facing this heavy sword light that seems to be the collapse of the heavenly river. With overwhelming force, it rolled over. The Twilight Blade in front of him was like a bird in a rainstorm, and at the same time, it seemed to have collided with another strong gust of wind, and it was only able to parry for a while. The path of the heavy sword swing was interrupted by interspersed attacks in the middle of the course, and the whole person was like an invisible net trapped by a swimming fish, completely unable to use it.
'It's all here, I'm going to see what kind of tricks you're hiding.' Thinking of this, Barrett's heart beat rapidly, and a huge amount of blood and qi immediately poured into every muscle in his body, and his movements became more powerful. And the Twilight Blade, who was already at a disadvantage, became even more precarious at this moment.
But at this moment, Barrett's ears were obviously trembling, and he lifted his toes and slid back, and then the original 'Broken Peak' Mo knife turned into a slash and slashed behind him. The fierce sword wind raged out, and even the ground of the cement was drawn with a fine line more than three inches long.
And in the eyes of the 'young Tiflin girl', the earth-shattering white light pierced all the hairs on her body that stood on end. And the behavior of that guy at this moment was completely like a planned invitation to the urn, as if the stealth technique had completely lost its effect at this moment.
The pet was smart, but he didn't know that when he came within 10 feet of Barrett, he was already locked by the other party's senses. The experienced Barrett relied on the skill of 'Blind Fight' to completely lock on to the sound of his soft footsteps. The sound of the moving wind, the trembling of the ground, the slight movement of the air, and so on, were all signs of his revelation of himself—for in Barrett's senses. These slight changes can be fully captured.
Often, 'blind fighting' is just a fairly useful specialty. At some point, it can show good results. For example, in front of you, against invisible enemies. Or when dealing with darkness, blindness, or darkness. Most of the time, though, it's not the only solution. So it's usually not worth a feat—as Barrett had previously thought, the feat's greatest usefulness is to meet the prerequisites for 'Penetrating the Magical Veil'.
However, at the moment, the 'blind fight' and Barrett's rich experience are more than enough to pit a demon pet that is far inferior to his own. And in the face of that sword light, the time that the flying skull demon had mastered in his long life made him make the most correct choice. As he lifted it in the air, he balanced the long sword in his hand on the swinging path of the opponent's weapon - it was better to be picked up by someone than to be cut in two.
In the blink of an eye, the longsword in the hand of the 'Tiflin Girl' successfully landed on Barrett's blade. At this time, she had already revealed her figure. However, the difference in strength between the two sides was too great, even if he held the hilt of the sword with one hand and pressed the spine of the sword with the other, the long sword was directly knocked into the chest.
The extraordinary long sword of "Quack" finally couldn't withstand the power of Barrett's sword, and was cut in two. And after the 'Broken Peak' Mo Knife broke through the barrier, it further crashed into the chest of the 'Tieflin Girl'. Dual-wielding weapons are more conducive to bursts of power in battle. Under Barrett's tremendous force. Even the blade after cutting off the long sword did not give people the feeling of the end of a strong crossbow, and after breaking the protective spell on the 'Tiflin Girl', it even cut the scales common to the creatures of the lower plane, and began to bloom muscles.
A stream of blood splattered out, accompanied by a crisp and distinct sound of bones breaking. The Flying Skull Demon, who has become the 'Tiflin Girl', discovers that his previous wishful thinking has not succeeded. Barrett's control of his power has been able to selectively blast the volley of stones instead of sending them flying.
Just as Barrett was about to disembowel the 'Tieflin Girl' in front of him, he suddenly disappeared without a trace, leaving only a cloud-like halo in its original place. Moments later, the creature appeared 30 feet away from Barrett. Temporarily out of the risk of being cut in two by Barrett.
Turning around, Barrett saw dim particles of light swirling around Twilight Blade's fingertips. He immediately understood what had happened - the Twilight Blade in front of him had just used the spell 'Dimensional Jump' to save his pet.
It's a great spell in every way. You can teleport a target to a distance of 5 feet per caster level. The user can use it on himself to reach a better position and easily escape from enemies. Jump over obstacles and difficult terrain. It can also be channeled to bounce enemies away (throw them outside of cliffs), zoom in, and throw them into a flanked position or into your formation to prevent them from escaping. Now it's time to rescue an ally who is in danger of being attacked on the battlefield and teleport him away.
Although this spell must be cast with contact, the special spell connection between the pet and the caster gives the spell a unique teleportation channel. And before, the twilight blade didn't have time to organize a counterattack to save Zhao, so he had to use this almost instantaneous space spell to wrap his demon pet. You must know that if the pet dies, the caster himself will also be severely damaged. The Twilight Blade in front of him was definitely not far away.
The escaped 'Tieflin Girl' immediately crawled to the boundary of the escape field, and soon became invisible again with the help of her spell-like abilities.
At this moment, Twilight Blade followed the void that Barrett turned to launch the most fierce offensive of the day. Even Barrett felt that suddenly the other party seemed to have a clear foresight of what he was going to do next. Only the heavy sword went straight around Barrett's defenses and went straight to Barrett's left shoulder.
However, this can not rely on the opponent's martial arts, but the effect of spells to defeat the enemy's first opportunity. This spell allows the user to temporarily gain keen insight into when to attack on the next turn. Let its next attack pierce through the enemy's actions. In addition, even if the opponent is hidden, the user will not have a chance of missing. Of course, such a powerful spell also requires time to cast, but the red-eyed Twilight Blade chooses to use his limited ability every day to cast the spell quickly.
Swift Cast: From Hematorite rank 5 onwards, Twilight Blade can cast a spell once a day with a quick action, and the cast time of this spell must be a standard action or less. To put it bluntly, this is the effect of the spell instantaneous supermagic achieved by the other party using special techniques.
Seeing that he could not do anything, Barrett gave up his defense and swung his sword at the waist of his opponent. Fortunately, Barrett's Adamantite armor is strong and reliable, and the ability of the muscle armor is also significantly reduced. After this heavy weakening, the knight on Barrett's shoulder did not suffer much force. However, the bombardment effect of the thunder and lightning power attached to the giant sword was like a steel needle and an iron hammer hitting it together, and it immediately hurt his heart.
This is the opponent's ability to use arcane channeling: since the time of Limestone Elite (level 3), Twilight Blade can cast any contact spell he knows in a standard move, while unleashing this power with a melee attack - casting spells in this way does not cause an opportunity attack. Although the cast time of this spell must be a standard action or less. If you successfully hit the opponent, the effect of the spell will be released in addition to the normal damage.
Just now, the other party used the most commonly used electric claw technique of the Twilight Blades. If the melee contact check is successful, he can deal Shock damage that increases with the caster's level. It also has an enhanced effect on enemies wearing metal armor or made of metal, or carrying large amounts of metal items.
Barrett, who had relieved himself, straightened his spine that had been trained to build up his bow, gather strength, and bend as he wished. It's not just the power that spreads to the whole body, it's the ability to make all kinds of changes naturally. If the original spine was a hidden dragon in the abyss, now it has already been a flying dragon in the sky, showing the momentum of soaring clouds and fog.
And Barrett's momentum turned into a living mountain. Although it is not endless, there is a suffocating sense of heaviness rushing towards you. (To be continued......)
