Chapter Ninety-Three: The Asymmetrical War
>οΌοΌ
Barrett, who was unable to determine the profession of the guy in front of him for a moment, immediately frowned. β³Β’, and the Malkin steward also came to Barrett's side at this time, he stood on tiptoe and whispered in Barrett's ear: "It seems that you have noticed, that guy is your opponent this time." β
"Steward Malkin, are you sure that guy is really my opponent? You know, I've seen that guy in the aristocracy before, and judging by his performance at that time, it was obviously the first time he came to 'Ulrik'. If you don't give an accurate answer, I'm afraid I'll choose to quit this fight," Barrett deliberately showed an angry expression on his face.
Steward Malkin hurriedly said, "Don't be impulsive! Be impulsed! The identity of your target this time cannot be said to be completely unproblematic, but you can also be regarded as one of those court nobles. β
"When will those cupboards in the city be able to have such a big show? That guy's style that day is probably comparable to that of His Royal Highness the Prince. Barrett scoffed at Malkin's remark that he was in charge, "And that guy's retinue is clearly a Lucia." Don't tell me this guy has nothing to do with the previous conflict. β
"I can't tell you too much about that." Steward Malkin looked embarrassed, "Although those 'cabinets' have taken advantage of the loopholes this time, their practices are indeed within the scope of the rules. That guy and the Ilyich family belong to close relatives within three generations, so there is no problem in participating in this fight. β
"No wonder I didn't see a smile on your face when we met today! It turned out that the other party gave a Jedi counterattack! Barrett glared at each other in a frustrated manner, and by this time the positions of the two sides had changed strengths and weaknesses.
Steward Malkin immediately glared back: "Don't blame me for everything, if it weren't for the trouble you caused a few days ago." There wouldn't have been such a big change. β
Linked to the changes in this time. Barrett already had some speculation in his mind. But for now. Those are just the details that are not needed for the time being. He immediately went straight to the point: "Then you can always give me an accurate answer about his profession!" As the person in charge of our case, you should have prepared this information for a long time. β
"This! This time the participant wasn't in Ulrike before, and he hadn't shot in the few days he'd been here. Knowing this, I have already arranged for someone to go to his hometown to gather information. But time is so tight, and it will be ...... for a while and a half," and at this time, Steward Malkin was finally a little embarrassed, "so we don't have any accurate information at hand." β
"Don't have accurate information? This is the most basic thing about the other person's profession. So how do I fight, I think the information about me is already in the hands of the other side. Barrett was dumbfounded.
Keep in mind that different classes have very different ways of fighting. Even though Barrett has already guessed who is in front of him, there is a huge difference between the two seemingly similar professions.
If you really want to evaluate the difference between the two similar classes, Demon Warrior and Twilight Blade. It can be summed up in a nutshell - the Twilight Blade is a warrior who fights with his brain, and a demon warrior is a mage who can use a blade to kill enemies. There is no outsider who mistakenly distinguishes the difference between the Twilight Blade and the Demon Warrior. It's still their fighting style.
Among them, the Twilight Blade does have more explosive power and flexibility than most kitchen knives that can't spell. Unfortunately, it's still a lot worse than those who actually cast spells. And the demon warrior is weaker than the ordinary mage. It has a lot of melee ability. But on offense, it can't be compared to those real kitchen knives.
Twilight Blade is more of a warlock in terms of spellcasting, able to use the limited spells he knows at will. Demon warriors, on the other hand, like mages, must study their spell books every day to prepare spells.
It can be said that the Twilight people have more powerful ** and melee abilities than the Demon Warriors. Although the types of spells that can be learned are not as good as the latter. But not to mention the practicality, there are also a frightening number of spell slots per day. Moreover, it is a special ability to guide spells in attack, which not only provides good explosive power, but also is simple and trouble-free.
Although the Demon Warrior's spell combat has the ability to cast spells in close combat, neither the probability of success nor the overall efficiency can compare to Twilight Blade's arcane guidance. And the spell strike that imitates the research of arcane guidance is also a flawed four.
Of course, compared to the Twilight Blade, the biggest advantage of the Demon Warriors is that they can learn a variety of spells. And the level of spells they end up being able to access is often higher than that of the Twilight Blades. That alone makes those Twilight Blades envious, jealous, and hateful! Watch as the other party unleashes all kinds of powerful spells that they don't have. I don't know if I will show a look of gnashing of teeth. You must know that before the appearance of the bug-like war knights, this continent was the world of spellcasters!
If you divide a class into Striker, Controller, and Supporter, Twilight Blade is far superior to Demon Warrior in the Striker position. But above the latter two, it is the Demon Warrior who has a clear advantage.
Of course, the other thing is that in addition to casting spells, these two usually have good brains. Therefore, they use what they have learned in the past to identify and analyze them, and finally find out the shortcomings of the enemy and make use of them. This can be said to be a common tactic for them, they are more flexible and cunning than the muscular men.
In Barrett's case, through that damn 'Flying Skull Demon' pet, he had confirmed that the enemy in front of him was at least a level 7 or higher professional. At this level, the battle differentiation between 'Twilight Blade' and 'Demon Warrior' is already very obvious. If you make a mistake in judgment, it can be very dangerous.
"This is indeed a dereliction of our duty." Then Steward Malkin gritted his teeth and said, "When the fight is over, I will compensate you whether you win or lose." β
"Now that it's said to be compensated, it's too risky for this game." Speaking of this, Barrett also lowered his face, "I remember that there have been records of death in previous martial arts fights!" For my own safety, I will have killed the opponent to fight the goal. Steward Malkin, I think you'd better think about how to end it now! β
"Wait! You also know that the identity of that guy is not simple. If you die in the martial arts arena. The consequences will be difficult to predict. Steward Malkin immediately reached out and pressed Barrett's shoulder.
However, Barrett's attitude was not shaken: "It is better for him to die than for me to die!" And isn't it true that the contract of this kind of martial arts has always been life and death? If you can't control it for a while. The people behind him couldn't stand up to me if they wanted to do something to me. β
"That's right. But do you know why there have been so few deaths in the past? Steward Malkin asked, staring at Barrett.
Barrett is also clear about the problem: "Isn't it a compromise between the two sides? After all, too many people died to affect the strength of the kingdom. β
"Since that's the case, you can do it yourself!" Looking at Barrett's indifferent attitude, Steward Malkin sighed.
"If that guy doesn't kill him, I won't. Of course, I always felt that this was unlikely. Speaking of this, Barrett reached out and touched the 'Broken Peak' Mo knife on his forehead, "Besides, if that guy is really a big man, the chance of resurrection from the church should not be hopeless!" β
With this in mind, Barrett began to prepare for the battle, but it was then that the ugly flying skull suddenly changedβwith a twist and plasticity. He shouldn't say that her image has changed drastically. The round, smooth face of the bean bun has sharp fangs protruding from the mouth, and the narrow pupils are full of wildness, and the hairs covering the skin are distinctly striped. The little horns on the top of the head, and the smell of sulfur and the forked hooves. All of them made her exude an unnatural and strange aura from her body. These are the descendants of the lower planes, all of which have some mark of Fall or birthmarks of evil beliefs.
"Underage Tieflin Girl? That guy used the transformation technique to turn his 'magic pet' into this, and it seems that he also regarded it as a combat force. Barrett then turned and asked, "Isn't it a rule to cast status spells before the war begins?" β
"Because this is his first spell, it is actually reasonable." The steward of Malkin on the side was already sweating profusely at this time, "This is a treat for spellcasters, after all, they often need time to prepare." β
Look at the delicate face of the little guy in front of me. Barrett really couldn't connect it to the ugly flying skull demon from before. As a special ability of the Transfiguration Technique, the Flying Skull Demon in the form of the 'Tiflin Girl' gains the ability to master military weapons. At this time it is in the hands. I am holding a special weapon that matches the size of my reminder. Judging by the style of that long sword, it was obviously not an ordinary product. But the battle was about to begin, and Barrett didn't have much energy to be involved in such a thing.
In the words of the referee, both sides of the fight entered the field. The 'Tieflin Girl' who crossed the dividing line immediately disappeared from Barrett's sight - this is the stealth ability unique to the Flying Skull. Although the effect is only comparable to that of invisibility, and can only be applied to the flying skull demon itself. But it's still one of a kind with no restrictions on use. A weapon to support combat.
As the 'Tieflin Girl' disappeared, the man in front of him, who could only be regarded as a one-sided relationship before, suddenly launched a charge. I saw that the other party's figure suddenly accelerated, and in an instant, it was as fast as a fierce horse! Like a hurricane coming towards Barrett. The heavy sword in the man's hand shot at a rapid pace, like a hurricane sweeping countless raindrops towards Barrett in front of him.
The bright heavy sword can be slashed and stabbed, and the heavy weight makes it extremely lethal, and the long blade makes it extremely large, as long as it is not too narrow in the space, this combat power is real.
Usually the wielders of this weapon are strong men - in half cases, they tend to be humanoid muscles that can stand on a human arm and run a horse. The slender and delicate man in front of him was able to wield such a weapon so freely. Barrett's first thought was that the other party should be equipped with some kind of magical artifact that strengthened its strength.
In the face of the enemy's fierce attack, Barrett swung the 'Broken Peak' in his hand and met it - the weight-bearing pressure of the giant mountain smashed the opponent's sturdy heavy sword. Immediately, several thunderbolts flashed from the sword's body. However, the 'electric claw technique' that was channeled out was isolated by the power of the earth, and there was no chance to affect Barrett's body at all. On the contrary, the heavy sword made a "quack" sound under the weight of the mountain.
But at this time, "Danger beware of the right!" Voice. It seemed to suddenly appear in Barrett's ears. Not daring to be careless, he subconsciously swept his gaze to his side, only to see his damned 'Tiflin Girl' holding the long sword in his hand and slashing at his armpit.
Faced with this situation, Barrett picked up a kick and kicked directly behind the thigh of the 'little white face' in front of him, and then rolled backwards with the reaction force to avoid the attack of the 'Tieflin Girl'. But in the blink of an eye, Barrett found that something was wrong, although the 'young Tiflin girl' in front of him had images and sounds, but there was no obvious sulfur smell from before. And the contact between its hooves and the ground is not very realistic.
'Damn! The flying skull demon actually played tricks. Barrett thought resentfully. The image of the 'Tieflin Girl' vanished, and Barrett felt that some of his mental junk was being blown away.
There are a lot of spells that the Flying Skull Demon can use every day, and this is a combination of the 'Weak Phantom', the 'Suggestion Technique', and the Mental Induction Ability that the 'Flying Skull Demon' itself possesses. Among them, it is possible to create a visual illusion of an object, a creature, or a force field based on the imagination. 'Suggestion' makes it easier for the recipient to listen to the user's words, while psychic induction is used to trigger suggestion.
Under this combination, even Barrett was hit. And the Twilight Blade, who had escaped the crisis, took advantage of this opportunity to launch another offensive. I saw him skillfully switch his weapon with one hand and both hands. When holding the sword in both hands, its attack is like a tiger, and the action of hitting one step forward is like a leaping tiger out of a stream.
When holding a sword in one hand, he moves and jumps like a fox, never making direct contact with Barrett. The five fingers on his free left hand flicked as fast as a skilled pianist. Combined with its non-stop opening and closing lips and the faint sound of high and low sounds. Apparently channeling a spell - not knowing what would happen next. (To be continued......)
