Chapter 259: Broken Arm
Atta made a mistake, or strictly speaking, it wasn't a mistake. Because a mistake is a term for what we know about something and we make a choice in action and speech that is contrary to our understanding, in the face of something unknown, even beyond the boundaries of imagination, no matter how much we act and speculate, it is not a mistake, because from the beginning, there is no corresponding correct existence.
Looking back, the reason why I say this is because the female swordsman made a mistake, she wishfully regarded the puppet she fought with as a puppet that was manipulated, which can't be blamed on her, it's common sense that dead things can't move on their own. And what can break common sense is magic. The rotten wood opens, the golden stone walks, and the things that are not originally capable of movement are given the ability to move, which is the goal pursued by a class of spellcasters. They believe that exploring the boundaries between living and non-living beings is the best way to get a glimpse of the truth, and the so-called golem puppets are the appendages of the research produced by these spellcasters, the dangerous appendages.
"Ding, ding, ding!" The swordswoman is still trying to find the external motivation for the puppet, but she also notices that as the battle continues, her parry becomes more and more adequate. The reason is very simple, although the puppet's attack method is weird, but its target is single, and until now, its attacks on Atta are basically only launched towards the neck, heart and other limited vital points, and for other parts, even if the female swordsman has no time to defend, she never attacks it as if she disdains it. It seems that in the eyes of the puppet, the human body is only critical.
Regardless, knowing the opponent's attack trend is always advantageous in a battle between the two. In this way, Atta no longer needs to force himself to follow the other party's movements, as long as he protects the limited number of key points to maintain. The pressure on the defense is reduced, and there is a chance for a counterattack to brew. There are not many opportunities to take advantage of now, because the enemy's offensive is still intensive, and it cannot be said that there is no way to do it. The doll has a very deadly cover door, and it's weight. Anyone trained in martial arts knows what weight means in a fight, and the one with the upper weight often has more strength, which is a natural advantage.
In previous fights, Atta has been the underdog in weight and strength, so her fighting style is more skill-dependent. This gives her a chance to maneuver and look for opportunities against relatively bulky opponents, but when she encounters an enemy like a puppet, she has no way to resist. To turn the tide, she'll have to take advantage of her weight and try to shock her opponent with her strength, forcing her opponent to move at her pace. The problem is that the balance of the puppet is too good, it is not human, there is no rush of emotions, and there is no problem of hand-brain coordination, so it is very difficult to make such an opponent unbalanced.
But difficulties also have to try, and this is the only way out of her predicament. The female swordsman paid attention and began to pay attention to her opponent's movements. The puppet's attack is generally done by using the short blades of the arms and sharp feet, and the arm of the crossbow machine has no effect in battle, and the meaning of its existence is only to make up for the means of long-range attacks. Therefore, in order to maintain the frequency of dense attacks, the puppet's feet have to alternately leave the ground to launch kicks, which is an opportunity to take advantage of. The problem is that although the previous push and shove also made the doll retreat, it failed to make it unbalanced, and it was not enough to simply attack the foot.
While thinking about it, the puppet suddenly took a half step back, and then suddenly raised its left leg and stabbed it like a spear! Although it was a new move, it was not difficult for Atta, who was highly mentally focused, to block this blow. However, just as she was about to raise her sword to block, her figure suddenly froze, and then the magic sword in her hand turned into a shift, and the blade slashed at the side of the opponent's claws, using her power to forcibly change the direction of the thrust.
If it were a soldier with a spear, Atta's understatement would never have worked, but the doll was too light, which meant that it was unstable on its footing, and since it was originally standing on one foot, it was led like this, and its left leg was directly inserted into the wall! Atta held the sword in both hands, and used the counterweight at the bottom of the hilt to make a thrashing motion, and smashed it into the puppet's left leg!
"Bang!" The material of the doll is harder than expected. This shot did not break his opponent's left leg as Atta had imagined, but only partially deformed his thigh. But she couldn't help but add more blows, the short blade in the puppet's hand had already been killed, and the female swordsman had to hold up her sword to block. At this time, she was a little nostalgic for the magic of the enemy sword, and if she could cut off this short blade, this puppet would not be afraid of it on its feet alone. So, can't you remove the opponent's fangs without striking the enemy's sword?The short blade and the magic sword staggered, and the two weapons made a screeching noise and shining sparks where they rubbed.
Think about what you have and what your opponent doesn't. When the puppet saw that the short blade was framed, he wanted to draw his knife and fight again, but one hand grabbed the puppet's wrist at this time. Unlike the dolls, Atta has two hands, and with a sword in one hand, she can also have one of them move freely. The doll was not very strong, and it was not able to get rid of the female swordsman's clamp in the first place. Turning the tide of things, Atta immediately seized the opportunity, she was not sure if the human vital point was also effective against the puppet, so instead of attacking the head or torso, she chose to stab the puppet with a sword in one hand and straight into the shoulder joint!
"Squeak!" the sound of metal rubbing against metal, accompanied by a strange feel, and after a delay of a few seconds, the tip of Flaclager's sword pierced through the back of the puppet's shoulder. The puppet has no emotions of fear, and as such, the effect of this broken arm does not seem to be as severe as it actually seems. The puppet's head glanced at its severed arm, then withdrew its left leg from the wall. Just as Atta threw away his severed arm to meet the opponent's next attack, the thing directly ran several steps backwards at a speed that humans couldn't do, and then leaped into the air in one breath, pointing this way with the arm with the crossbow.
On the crossbow, I don't know when the arrows were already on the table again. Atta's eyes widened, and she subconsciously held her weapon sideways in front of her, the familiar force knocking her back again, but thanks to her standing position, she didn't hit the wall again. The sword moved away, and instead of the enemy who was bullying forward, she saw only a quiet maze of hedges in the moonlight. The doll was gone.
At first, Atta thought that the other party was playing the same trick as herself, and hid to prepare to sneak attack from the shadows. But with the passage of time and the judgment of a certain feeling in her heart, she had to accept the reality that the puppet had fled. Exhaling lightly, Atta reflexively picked up the severed arm, intending to bring it back to his companions. She had not forgotten the purpose of her trip, and after so much delay, she did not hesitate any longer, trotted two steps to the window of the hut, and with a single effort she climbed through the broken window.
In the hut, it was quiet, except for the thin girl with her back to the window fiddling with the loom in an orderly manner, "Please wait, it's almost done." ”
"That's not going to work, you have to stop. ”
