Chapter 187: The End of the Battle
Lightning bolts continued to slash down one after another.
From time to time, the soul bird soaring in the sky swooped down to the bottom of the body, carrying lightning and wind through the body of the core guard, inflicting damage on it again and again. Rod, on the other hand, used his speed and dexterity to intersperse the side of the core guards, and with the help of the strength of the centaurs obtained by "Shadow", he launched attacks on the core guards from time to time. And suffering from the double attack of the soul bird and Rhodes, the movements of the core guards also began to slow down, although its attack power is very strong, but the constructor is the construct, and it lacks the necessary thinking. In the game, this boss is the best to fight for a team of average level - two melee fighters are responsible for cleaning up those constructed guardians, and healing is added to the side to add health, so who will fight the boss?
Two mages, yes, two mages who are close to death.
And their method is also very simple, a mage releases a spell, and after suffering damage, the core guard will rush towards him, and at this time, as long as another mage stands behind it and puts another spell in the distance, even if it is a small spell that can only cause negligible damage, the core guard will immediately turn his head without hesitation, abandon his previous enemy, and rush towards a new target.
Unlike the normal boss who confirms the threat by how much damage it takes, the way the core guard confirms the threat is to see who hits him, which is very brainless, but it does look like the behavior of the constructor. In the beginning, the player caused several group annihilations because of the unaware nature of the Dao, but later, after they learned that this thing was just mighty on the surface, but in fact it was brain-dead like an idiot, it was much easier to fight. After all, these constructs are just man-made objects, and there is no intelligence to speak of.
And now the cooperation between Rhodes and the soul bird is quite like two mages flying kites back and forth, although he is a swordsman and needs to be close to be able to deal damage to the core guards, but Rhodes is not slow - especially with the help of Shadow Flash, he can quickly pull out the distance. It doesn't matter if he gets hit once in a while, he has a centaur knight to share the damage, so Rod himself won't be hurt.
The soul bird continued to harass the core guard on the other side, and the Dao Dao lightning flew out of its wings and hit the core guard's body, the damage was not high, but for the limited intelligence of the core guard, as long as there was damage, it was a threat.
In fact, the designers of the core guard are not wrong to design it this way, because this huge structure has very good protection, and there is no way to damage it with ordinary attacks, and the warriors with less strength can't even leave a trace on this layer of heavy metal armor, and the magic of the earth, fire, and water attributes has no damage to it, and only the thunder attribute can barely give it a little damage.
From this point of view, this design is actually quite correct, after all, there are very few enemies that can threaten the Core Guardians, so as long as you destroy these enemies first, you will have no problem dealing with the others.
But those designers may not have even thought about what would happen if the Core Guardian was faced with a two-faced dilemma.
Now it does.
Rhodes could feel his attacks getting easier, and his sword slashing into the armor of the Core Guard felt like a headache on a boulder. Now the resistance is much smaller, not only that, but he also found that the movements of the core guards are starting to become less coherent——— the continuous lightning strikes of the soul bird finally interfere with the mana transmission of the construct, it is no wonder, even if it is a battle, being struck by lightning will produce great danger. And the core guard was able to resist the lightning of the soul bird for so long, and it was only a little glitch, which was already very powerful. …,
But that's all it takes.
Sensing that the core guard was starting to have problems, Rod immediately launched a round of onslaught, the long sword in his hand turned into a little sword light and shot towards the core guard's body, the violent impact caused the core guard's body to tremble, it once again waved its fist and tried to attack Rod backwards, but after the blow was successful, Rod quickly pulled back and quickly dodged the opponent's attack. And just as the constructor is about to take a step closer, the soul bird on the other side will fly over and use a violent electric shock to remind the other party of its existence.
"Boom!!"
After being penetrated by the soul bird again, the core guard finally stopped moving, and the magic brilliance in its eyes instantly became much dimmer, although it quickly returned to its original state, but Rhodes had already sensed the other party's problem, after the continuous onslaught of himself and the soul bird in front, the core guard was already a little unable to support it at the moment, and the part that was originally covered by heavy armor had gaps in many places, which was caused by the double attack of Thunderbolt and Rhodes, The sturdy metal plate shattered open, revealing the intricate metal support within, and it moved more and more slowly, stagnate more and more.
If you hold on for a while, I believe that it is not impossible to wait for it to collapse on its own.
But Rhodes didn't want to drag it out, he didn't see the battle on Anne's side, but he really couldn't spare a hand to help. On the other hand, Rhodes was able to fly the Core Guard's kite so relaxed and concentrate on flying the Core Guard's kite with the Soul Bird, all because Anne was on his side to help him clean up those Construct Guardians, and if he was entangled by those troublesome guys, he didn't know if he would be able to get the Core Guard so easily.
So Rod didn't want to wait any longer, and Anne's side was already a little nervous, although it would be more certain to wait a little longer. But if something goes wrong on Annie's side and is exploited by the Constructed Guardians, then the threat will be on his side, and for Rod, he will definitely not tolerate such a situation.
Thinking of this, Rhodes made a decision.
The soul bird spread its wings and swooped down, and the core guard once again swung his fists in vain, the powerful force that was enough to make the gold and stone fall apart did not work at all, and the solid metal fist once again passed through the body of the soul bird meaninglessly, and fortunately, the body of the body was not high in IQ and had no feelings, otherwise I am afraid it would have been angry to death.
"Boom!!"
At the same time as the soul bird passed through the body of the core guard, the shining thunder and lightning burst out again, they jumped on the ground, and in the air, the core guard unexpectedly stopped again, but unlike it, the soul bird did not hover and fly into the air again after completing another attack, on the contrary, it just kept its body and flew towards Rhodes.
And at this moment, Luo Zhong stretched out his right hand and threw it to the side.
The vanula that had been floating behind him vanished, and Rhodes raised his sword to meet the soul bird that had spread its wings and flew towards him.
The moment the Fresh Blade came into contact with the summoned elves, the situation changed.
A whirlwind that rose from the ground erupted from Rod's side, and the figure of the soul bird disappeared in an instant, replaced by a gorgeous electric light beating on the fresh red blade in Rod's hand, which was as thick as a finger, like a snake of thunder and lightning coiled around the sword, and the howling wind swept by, bringing a low chirp.
Rhodes gripped the hilt of his sword in both hands and stared ahead. …,
Then, a dazzling light pierced the air and rushed towards the Core Guard with a straight whistle.
“!!!”
Maybe it was because he sensed the ferocity of the other party, or maybe he analyzed that this attack was not so easy to deal with. In the face of Rod's charge, the core guard folded his arms for the first time and made a defensive posture, not only that, but its whole body also spewed out a large amount of white vapor at this moment, and with these "woo" sounds, the steel armor on the core guard began to move quickly, wanting to form a hard protective shield to completely resist Rod's attack
But at this moment, the shattering and spinning blade of light had already reached the front of the constructed creation.
The long sword in Rhodes' hand shot forward, and one after another blades of light detached from the bright red sword, and shot forward with a shining electric light. They struck the body of the Core Guardian, and the raging lightning swirled around the metal body again, and with the sound of the explosion, the heavy armor metal plates that were moving their positions immediately fell off and shattered, flying in all directions under the dual effect of air waves and impact.
It was precisely because of this interference that the movements of the core guards stopped for a while, but for Rod, this momentary stagnation was enough.
The sword entwined with lightning broke through the structure's defenses and plunged into its body.
The core guards were also completely silent at this point.
Then, a large amount of white vapor began to eject from every corner of its body.
Now is the time!
Seeing this scene in front of him, Rhodes knew very well what was going to happen next, he threw down his long sword directly, quickly retreated, and ran towards Anne.
"Anne, get down! Raise your shield! ”
Rod shouted and motioned to Anne, and at the same time quickly came to the girl's side, and at this moment, the steam bursting from the core guard was getting thicker and louder. Seeing that it was too late, Rhodes simply grabbed the girl's waist directly, and then pushed her directly to the ground, while also dodging the attack of the Constructed Guardian behind.
"Raise your shield! Now, hurry! ”
"Ah, yes!!"
The girl, who hadn't recovered from the battle with the Constructed Guardian, immediately responded loudly, and then she raised her shield, just enveloping the bodies of the two men, and also sent one of the Constructed Guardians flying high in the air, and was about to launch an attack on the two of them. Anne didn't know what Rods was going to do, but since he had given the order, he had to carry it out.
And at this moment, a loud bang broke out.
