Chapter 174: Melee Attack
At the critical moment, Thorne activated his exclusive skill, Extreme Burst, pushing his speed to the extreme, and he was able to dodge a fatal sword. At the same time, the epic dagger wrapped in ink-colored fighting qi easily cut through Renault's robe, revealing the epic heavy armor hidden inside.
Thorne didn't expect the other party to have such high-defense equipment, and most of them couldn't take advantage of hard fighting, so he flipped his wrist, and the dagger was changed to a thorn, and it was sinisterly inserted into the gap between the heavy armor.
Reynolds felt the skin on his lower abdomen tremble slightly, and he had the illusion of pins and needles in pain, an instinctive warning of danger. He didn't dare to slack off, but Thorn was already close to him, and the Ming Yan Sword didn't have time to retract the parry, and the situation became very critical.
However, Renault had experienced countless battles, and he had already penetrated into his bone marrow when he reached out of his free left hand, and a golden light slammed down on the jungle ranger who was completely close to him.
Thorne felt a shock in his head, and before he could dig the dagger into Renault's body with the dagger inserted into the gap in the heavy armor, he fell to the ground weakly, and Venus soared. The Epic Dagger also came out of his hand because it was stuck in heavy armor.
By the time Thorne came to his senses, the tip of his sword, which was as hot as coal, was already in his throat.
"Convincing or not?" Renault pulled out the dagger that was stuck between the heavy armor in his lower abdomen and said.
Thorne's defeat was so quick that almost as soon as the two fought, Thorne was defeated, and judging by his previous performance, Thorne had the advantage. In particular, the move "Rapid Burst" can be activated under the original acceleration, which shows that Thorne is as pure as fire in the use of speed.
Perhaps in terms of lethality alone, he is at most at the upper middle level in the Cross League, but after "Extreme Burst", he has completely outperformed most people, and even surpassed some of the powerhouses who majored in speed. But that's it, it's still a defeat by Renault's inexplicable move.
Even Medilia and Horsen, in the state of a bystander, couldn't see how Renault conjured a magic wand that knocked down the Jungle Rangers. And Thorne, who is in a puzzle, is not to mention.
"Not convinced!" Thorne replied dryly, anger almost bursting from his eyes.
The bright flame sword that emitted scorching energy was gently picked, and it was already retracted into the scabbard, and the heat in the air disappeared in an instant, as if it had never been before. Thorne looked up at the demon swordsman in front of him who stood still like an eternal mountain, and the anger in his heart was occupied by fear. He struggled to stand up, but his trembling arms were a little disobedient, and he finally succeeded in standing up after two consecutive attempts.
Renault hooked his fingers defiantly and said, "Don't say I didn't give you a chance." ”
Faced with the arrogant Demon Swordsman, Thorne's anger erupted again, and he forgot the fear in his heart for a while. He didn't pick up the epic dagger that Renault had dropped on the ground, and instead of advancing and retreating, he jumped backwards for several feet, almost sticking to the edge of the Holy Light Enchantment.
Pointing at the same time with both hands, he quickly clicked on the inventory, took out a giant double-arc bow with a strange shape hidden inside, bent the bow and arrows, and in the blink of an eye, the bowstring had been pulled to the shape of a full moon, and the bow on it exuded the same gold as the double-arc bow, which was a rare epic bow.
Renault judged from the faint flow of magic fluctuations on the bow arrow that it was an armor-piercing magic arrow, which was the nemesis of heavy armor.
However, Thorne didn't immediately release the arrow, because it was not wise to choose a ranged attack at such a short distance due to the circumstances, but he had no other way. The rapid burst is his strongest kill, since it has no effect, it is impossible to defeat Renault with close combat, only to distance himself or have a chance to win.
Fortunately, the Jungle Ranger is a dual class in melee and ranged attack, and Thorne is more skilled in bows and arrows than daggers. After a brief spell, the elaborate oak floor slowly arched upward, and as the magical energy wrapped around it receded, two meter-tall treemen stood between Thorne and Renault.
Treant summoning is a Jungle Ranger's class and the only summoning skill in the early game. In terms of combat power, the slow attack speed and movement speed of the Treant do very little damage to the player, and only when leveling up to kill monsters is used as a meat shield to attract hatred.
However, in the current confined space, it is just the right thing to use as a barrier to hinder Renault's attack. Moreover, the defense and HP of the Treant are considered high-end among low-level summoning skills.
With a flick of his right hand, the Flame Sword flew out of his palm and plunged straight into the oak floor, handing the epic staff Fire Spirit in his left hand to his right hand, apparently to use magic to meet Thorne's bow skills.
Archers have long been regarded as magical nemesis, with their extremely fast attack speed and ranged range, which can kill magicians to death. In a one-on-one duel, the mage's chances of winning are almost nil, unless they have an overwhelming advantage in rank, or refrain from the bursts of bows and arrows on their armor. Otherwise, there won't even be time to chant magic.
As a result, Renault's switch to magic combat made Horsen sweat. At least in his opinion, Renault's tactics are no different from seeking defeat.
The two treants staggered towards Renault, their roots as a substitute for their actions, but their role was more of a deterrent than a real attack.
Unhurried, Renault held up the Epic Staff of Flashing Golden Light, and without hearing any incantations, a flame magic shield that burned on three sides appeared around him, the Flame Aegis.
Thorne didn't have time to think about why this mid-level magic didn't need to chant a spell, and a lengthy magic spell was loud and undulating. Thorne's face turned pale, fear written all over his face.
The more lengthy the spell, the more powerful it is, which is the basic common sense of magic skills, so it can be seen that Thorne's reaction is also normal.
Thorne couldn't wait for the treeman's attack, and the golden arrow shot away with a bang, and the target was the immovable magic swordsman.
It would have been impossible to hit the target with such a rash shot of a precious epic arrow, but Thorne had no hope of hitting it in one fell swoop, as long as he was forced to dodge the arrow, he could interrupt the terrifying magic spell. This is also a helpless move: in such a small space, the powerful large-scale magic just maximizes its lethality, even if the magic resistance of the jungle ranger is not low, it is not enough.
The magic arrow, with a golden trail, pierced the gap between the two clumsy treants and shot at Reynolds' chest. With such an obvious killing move, Renault was unmoved, still maintaining the rhythm of the spell, and did not pay attention to the armor-piercing arrow in his eyes at all, as if chanting the spell was more important than his life.
The air lit up with a spark of gold and red. A dull crackle of magic almost obscured the last two syllables of the magic spell. Thorne's eyes were about to fall out, and the arrow that was asking for his life was in vain, blocked by the flaming shield that surrounded Renault.
Good luck! The Flaming Aegis has a 10% chance to block blocks, and a line on three sides increases the chance to 30%, so it's not a special thing to block the bow and arrow.
However, the careful Medilia found something strange in it, the three flame shields rotated according to a specific trajectory speed, and at the moment when the epic arrow approached Renault, one of the flame shields suddenly accelerated and rotated, just in time to meet the approaching armor-piercing arrows.
"Could it be that he is free to control the trajectory of the Flame Aegis?" Medilia wondered, but this was too bizarre, any magic had its own set of rules, or acted according to the game designer, and there was no possibility of changing the rules. Unless that person goes beyond the rules of the game.
Seeing that the arrow was unsuccessful, Thorne hurriedly drew another golden armor-piercing arrow, and before he could pull the bowstring, Renault's magic was just completed. As the last syllable ended, a strong aura of magic came from the Holy Light Enchantment, and the two unconscious treemen suddenly stopped their clumsy steps and hugged each other tremblingly, they were not self-conscious, but instinctive fear overrode their master's commands.
Thorne was also at a loss, and the sense of crisis was almost overwhelming, but there was no room for maneuvering and dodging in the small space. The only thing to do is to shoot the armor-piercing arrow in your hand, even if you fight to lose both.
At Thorne's feet and the two treants, a fiery red ripple appeared, and in an instant, the ripple stopped spreading and turned into a scorching fiery magma. The tree man screamed silently, the green leaves and twigs long since turned to ashes, and the tough trunk could not withstand the scorching of the lava, and burned in pain.
Thorne was not having a good time, the ring of lava fire that suddenly appeared under his feet spread upwards along his feet, and soon, the whole person was wrapped in flames, no matter how much he stimulated his natural fighting spirit, he could not extinguish the flames. The defense of the rare silver leather armor set is not reflected in the fire resistance, the flames cannot damage the leather armor, but the heat is transferred to it, and the high heat ignites the smock inside, burning the skin. Thorne screamed in pain, but still had no intention of putting down his bow and arrows. Sou! A flaming golden light streaked through the air and shot at Renault as he swung his staff.
With a bang, the Flaming Aegis once again blocked the flaming arrow.
"How so!" Thorne screamed and rolled on his back, trying to extinguish the flames on his body.
"Did you take it this time?" When Renault stops casting, Level 1 Inferno Flame increases the range and intensity of the flame as the caster's mana output. If he didn't stop, Thorne wouldn't be able to support it for long.
"Serve your cock!" Thorne said viciously. The flames were not extinguished by the cessation of mana transmission, and the heat on his body was like maggots on tarsal bones, eroding his body and soul. The physical pain may still be suffering, but the additional soul-burning effect can make life worse than death for the jungle ranger.
"Brother Lei, be merciful!" Huo Sen's voice came through the Holy Light Enchantment.
Renault naturally wanted to give this friend a little face, said the word "receive", stretched out his five fingers and pushed out, and the flames on the ground and the burning on Thorne's body disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Seeing that the flames were gone, Huo Sen dared to lift the Holy Light Enchantment.
The barrier was a mess, not to mention Thorne's summoning of the Treants to leave two deep holes in the floor, the non-fire-resistant oak floor was already as black as charcoal, and more than half of the floor was considered scrapped.
It can be seen that after realizing Renault's powerful magic, the middle-aged entertainer will never dare to open the mouth of the claim.
