121.Chapter 121
At this time, in 588 A.D., the fighting methods that Francis learned were all "routines" inherited from his masters. And in such an era, because of the scarcity of legal professions and the dignity of the "elementalist" itself, very few people are willing to conflict with the "elemental".
As for Francis, who is a count, he has not experienced many "all-out" battles. In the past, training has always been "point to point", so now that this battle has been fought so far, although his response can be called qualified, in the eyes of Roddy, it cannot be called "excellent" at all.
That's what Roddy said about Francis.
It doesn't matter how fast the spell is cast, how powerful the spell is, a rookie is a rookie - for a ranger who has been fighting on the PVP battlefield for years and is familiar with almost all classes and all skills, Francis can only bluff those who don't have much PVP experience at all.
In the highest level of PVP battles, any flaw can lead to death, and in Roddy's eyes, Francis's response is completely "flawed" at this time - but from another point of view, this is the result of Roddy's calculations.
The reason why Francis was at a loss was because Roddy knew exactly where the limitations of the "Elementalist" skills were, so he had planned to choose the location of this battle in this dark and complex forest.
Of course, there is a great deal of uncertainty in "calculating" in such a complex event. For example, Roddy can choose to shoot Francis directly in the square, or he can choose to snipe directly at the city gate on his way to chase Sally - but those are not Roddy's priorities...
Sniping an Earl in the city square would not do the Rusifron family any good, and might even make a bigger splash. By any measure, the quieter Francis died, the more good Roddy could get... Adhering to this principle, Roddy ambushed Sodrol and the others in this forest early, so that they could destroy the corpses here!
And now, although the plan is a little off, resulting in a one-on-one situation between himself and Francis, for Roddy, there is really no suspense in such a battle.
Seeing Francis hide behind a tree as if his confidence had regained, Roddy sneered and took two steps back lightly, although it brought a slight sound of fallen leaves and weeds, but it did not alert Francis at all... Because the farthest detection range of the "Elemental Sentry" is fifty meters away, and the location where Roddy is now standing is fifty-three meters away from Francis.
"Do you really think that the elemental sentry is covered by no angle... It's not good to be lazy when learning skills. ”
Roddy drew a long arrow, slowly and silently nailed it into the trunk of the tree in front of him, and then casually took off his cloak that had been torn open by an ice pick, and threw his hand on the arrow—because he was behind the trunk, Francis couldn't see what he was doing.
After hanging up the cloak, Roddy glanced at Francis, who was not moving in the distance, and felt like he had regained the feeling of fighting against the rival players in the woods...
Francis's spells are powerful, and the "Elemental Sentry" is an excellent skill for mastering the first attack, so in his eyes, Roddy's appearance is equivalent to a "flaw".
In complex woodland conditions, fifty meters is already the limit of the shooting distance, and even if Roddy can really shoot himself at such a distance, the ice shield can block such damage, and at the same time, he can also confirm Roddy's position and give a counterattack!
From this, Francis thought he was in control. However, he ignored a problem - although the detection range of the "Elemental Sentry" is large, there is always a blind spot in the detection: above.
So as Roddy silently climbed up the trunk of the tree and slowly approached the top of Francis's head, the elementalist who was holding his wand and waiting for Roddy to appear was still nervous, focusing all his energy on the feedback from the "elemental sentry", not noticing the slightest movement in the sound of insects and birds above his head.
Time passed quietly, and after a full four or five minutes, Roddy was already close to Francis—he was now fifteen meters above the ground, and if he attacked directly, he would be less than ten meters away from the opponent after landing.
This is the limit of Francis's own senses.
After stopping his figure, Roddy, who used the "stealth technique" to conceal his figure, looked at the trunk of the tree where Francis was hiding below, and then turned his head to look at the arrow he had just hung on his cloak - he was at an angle that could just see the tail of the arrow.
Let's hope it gets right the first time.
He said a silent sentence in his heart, and then the short bow in his hand was raised, and two arrows were drawn, and they quickly shot out one after another in the distance...
This short bow from the "Rosiccross" was of excellent quality, and even when the bow was full moon, there was not much vibration and sound, and at this time, Roddy, for the sake of safety, only opened a third of the arrow and shot the arrow, so the noise of the bowstring cutting through the air was not noticed by Francis at all.
Two arrows with little strength flew out, the first landing on the edge of the Elemental Sentry's scouting, while the second hit the tail of the cloaked arrow......
And in Francis's senses below, when the first arrow landed, he reacted violently - with a single step, he jumped directly from behind the tree, and the "Fireball Technique" in his hand was still a little hesitant, but when he saw the corner of the cloak shaking behind the trunk, he immediately "confirmed" Roddy's position and threw his hand out!
"Boom-"
Francis stared at the flames that exploded in the distance, and when the fragments of the torn cloak flashed away in his vision, he couldn't help but rejoice... That guy was killed!
But before the joy could fully emerge from the bottom of his heart, a "click" behind him made him look back in shock.
A long arrow was nailed to his ice shield at an absolutely vertical angle for the second time, shooting out a large white crack mark!
Worst!
Francis, who thought that he was attacked from behind, was just about to wave his hand to restore the "Ice Shield", but when he looked into the distance through the shield, he was shocked to find that a figure had jumped down from the trunk of the tree and rushed straight in front of him!
Two scimitars flashed with cold light, slashing at the shield in front of Francis with lightning speed.
"Click!"
Roddy's first slash smashed a hole through the arrow's shattered hole, and the second slashed the egg-shaped shield — the blade almost slashed across Francis's chest, and if he hadn't taken a step back at the critical moment, he would have been in a different place.
This was the first time that the two had faced each other head-to-head, but Francis had no idea that Roddy would attack in such an unpredictable way, and in a hurry, he immediately raised the scroll he had been holding in his hand upwards, and shouted the activation spell at the moment when he was infused with spell energy: "Frost Nova!"
And Roddy's reaction was far faster than him, he could have swung the third knife and continued to attack Francis, but when he saw the blue scroll in Francis's hand, he just decided to retreat in the blink of an eye, and when Francis's spell "Frost Nova" was not finished, Roddy even released the professional skill of "Demon Hunter" -
"Leap"!
A powerful force suddenly filled his legs, Roddy gritted his teeth, and his body accelerated backwards, jumping four meters away in an instant—and counting the previous few steps back, he was already standing about eight meters away from Francis.
But then Roddy stopped, and then watched as the "Frost Nova" swept away from the scroll in Francis's hand...
"Brush!"
White frost streaks spread out from all around Francis's body, and the force of the extreme cold even froze the flowers and tree trunks on the ground to pieces. And after casting this spell, Francis's original stunned expression had turned into a cruel smile - in his opinion, this level 3 "Frost Nova" could definitely freeze Roddy directly into ice, and even if he could resist the damage of the cold, the ice pick technique he cast later would definitely be able to shoot him to death!
But such an expression froze on his face afterwards.
Roddy stood like that with his scimitar in hand, the cold air from the frost swept towards him, but it dissipated only ten centimeters away from him, losing its original power...
The Frost Nova, which had a spell range of only 8 meters, was cast in vain.
And at the moment when the spell ended, Roddy was already holding a scimitar and rushing straight at him!
"It's-"
The horror in his heart could no longer be concealed, and Francis hurriedly wanted to release the shield again, but just before he could raise his wand, Roddy's scimitar had already been chopped down......
"Click!"
The wand that was frozen into a popsicle was cut in two, but Francis took advantage of it to roll out to the side - but such a dodge was in vain, his martial arts were not worth mentioning in front of Roddy, and after the "shadow dance" was cast, in the dim light, Francis was chased by Roddy before he could even cast the second spell, and the scimitar cut off his arm without mercy...
"Poof—"
Blood splattered out, and Roddy kicked Francis in the back of the heart, and the huge force caused him to pounce directly, hitting the tree with a "thud", and then rolling to the ground.
"My hand... Ahh
The pain came to his mind, and Francis screamed, looking at his elbow-to-elbow broken arm, and before he could continue shouting, he saw the shadow of the scimitar flash again...
The tendon of the left ankle was severed.
The heart-rending pain almost drove Francis completely insane, and he shouted "ahhhh
Killing, and killing a doomed traitor in the future, is not going to make Roddy, who has adapted to the world, uncomfortable at all, but the reason why he didn't cut Francis's head off now is because he still has something to say.
"Come, look at me, stop shouting. ”
His voice was very calm, "Ahh
The blade was pressed against Francis's face, and blood remained on the cold blade.
Francis's shouting stopped abruptly, but changed to "Don't kill me, don't kill me, I can promise anything!"
"Okay, answer me a few questions, I won't kill you. ”
Roddy bent down to look at the pale-faced earl, "Hurry up, or I won't be able to save you from bleeding too much." ”
He smiled harmlessly, half of his face reflected in the orange light of the fireball technique, which was extremely strange.
