Novsky swept past me again, crouched, turned, and kicked me high in the jaw. This strange and tricky route is what I used to use when I was speeding up. As long as the speed is fast enough, the angle is tricky enough, and the attack is the vital point, then even just holding a knife can kill the enemy well, without worrying about the enemy's counterattack after defeat. First of all, the enemy will not be able to react, and secondly, even if he does, because of the tricky angle, in most cases, there is only the option of "defending against this blow first", and it is not possible to prioritize interception and cross-attack.

Novsky doesn't seem to use this trick very often, but he deliberately imitates mine. It's like a provocation.

It was a counterattack from Novsky, and, with such a conspicuous attack, it was far more than a "blow".

The first blow I cared about was completely different from what I expected.

I traverse the limits of my imagination, but I don't know how to think to solve my problems.

The strange first blow didn't cause any obvious injuries to my body, and the ensuing attacks didn't make me think it was Novsky's current full strength - obviously it was different from mine, the difference in physical, mysterious, and even combat consciousness made it seem like a teasing when it used my tricks against me. But what if this is not a joke, but necessarily has meaning?

I have to consider that this seemingly naïve act of backlash actually has its place in Novsky's combat tactics.

Then, such behavior is likely to be a kind of blinding. Precisely because it is childish enough, mocking enough, enough to draw the opponent's attention to this behavior, it ignores the first blow.

First blow. I have always believed that this is the real killer, and if I had not believed in it, and then I was confused by Novsky's behavior, I would probably have been ignorant when I was dying.

There are some mysterious experts who will be in the middle of the battle. Strongly show their "mysterious" characteristics, and even explain to their enemies; But there are also some occult experts who will not do this, and will even use other attacks to disguise their true "mysterious" characteristics. However, in either case, the starting point is the same - except for personal style, which is what the individual judges as tactical advantageous.

Regardless of personal habits and styles, most occultists will declare and disguise their attacks, depending on the situation. In many cases, this reinforces the mystery itself.

For example, I personally often use words when using "mystery" or "declare" in my heart, but I don't explain it to anyone, and the content of "proclamation" will strengthen my "mystery" and will to a certain extent. And will disguise the most essential qualities of "mystery".

Novsky's approach was probably after the first blow quietly. Cloak the effect of the first blow with a more striking action. This also means that the effect of the first blow is not "instantaneous" from the moment it is triggered to the time it is obtained.

Scammed! I realized this right away.

You can't go wrong! The first blow, the first blow that seems to have passed, is not defended at all, or rather. In the case of complete ignorance at the time, it was simply impossible to resist, unless a targeted "mysterious" existed. Although some clues were found in the comprehensive observation images, the actual effect was not directly displayed at the physical and conscious levels. So. Attention was taken away by the monster's actions after that.

What a cunning guy.

Compared to its previous fights, its fighting style has suddenly changed dramatically.

Novsky's movements were swift, but even if the speed was greatly limited, it was still possible to force up the speed in a split second.

I bowed my head hard and slammed the forehead of my helmet hard with Novsky's high kick. The huge force just knocked me away, but I didn't feel the power of penetration - sure enough, it was just that the movements were similar, and in terms of technology, not to mention Tomie, didn't even reach my level? I thought so, and with this power I fell far on the other side.

After landing on the ground, I suddenly noticed that there was a sense of incongruity in the part of my right foot up to my knee.

And the next moment I noticed this incongruity, the right half of my body suddenly lost the strength to support it.

I didn't fall and held my body with a long knife.

There was no pain, but the right calf was no longer visible to the naked eye, and there was no perception of its existence, and this part of the mind had completely become a dotted line in the comprehensive observation image of the mind.

No, it shouldn't be completely gone. Is my right leg just somewhere between "being" and "not being"? However, if you can't come up with the corresponding "mystery", it will be no different from actually disappearing.

Sure enough, is this the real power of the first blow?

I can't help but think that it's a little different from the deep hypnosis of a consciousness walker. In the worst-case scenario, if you leave the current dimensionality reduction environment, you may make the injury irreversible, and conversely, if you want to win completely, you must agree to this monster in the monster's home field.

At this time, even if the electronic demon messenger uses the "inherent enchantment" to repel the influence of a part of the dimensionality reduction environment, it is also risky. Because, this is similar to the meaning of leaving the dimensionality reduction environment.

If the opponent is just a mysterious expert or something, after creating the home field, the damage caused to the enemy is often the type of "continuous damage in the home field, and then you can recover after leaving the home field", but my intuition tells me that the effect of Novsky's first blow is exactly the opposite - in the home field, you only need to take the damage effect that is gradually amplified, but if you find the right way, you may still be saved, but if you leave the home field, this damage may be solidified.

If you want to talk about evidence, of course, there is no, because now that you are injured, it is impossible to really practice it and see if it is what you think. If this choice has to be made, it must be placed last.

The situation gets a little tricky.

However, the general situation is still within the scope of the plan.

It's amazing how calm my mood is.

Probably because, although the first blow was not blocked. I didn't come up with a solution, but the special "statute of limitations" of such a first blow allowed me to survive the first blow - in any case, I took the first blow and didn't die immediately.

So. The situation is still going according to plan.

The plan was to survive the first blow, not block the first hit.

The first blow using this effect was the only mistake that Novsky, a monster, made in this battle.

Once again, Novsky's figure came into my view.

When we looked at each other for a moment, my gaze was calm, and its gaze was full of malice and aggression. I guess it will notice my calmness. With that in mind, I drew my long knife. The knot blocked its flutter.

Its hands and feet had been freed from its restraints, and I was mentally prepared not to be surprised that its limbs could collide with swords. The use of the body as a shield and weapon is not unique to physical life. But other than that, Novsky had no other weapons.

If it was before, it would also emit a face of black smoke, or disintegrate the black smoke to perform an operation similar to a gray mist spell. But. The first blow before seemed to have made it feel satisfied. Or rather. In its current state, it directly selects the first hit as the killer, and uses the remaining power that can be mobilized to assist the first hit, so it has not produced an attack that surpasses the first hit.

This result is also within my intuition.

Really. Being able to survive the first blow means that my odds of winning have increased.

"What are you thinking? Mr. Takakawa. "Novsky took advantage of my leg inconvenience and lost his balance by kicking me into the air with one kick, followed by a series of attacks. Finally, I blocked it with a long knife. Speed sweeps and chain decisions have always been reluctant, unable to reach normal levels, and can only rely on occasional bursts to maintain speed without falling too far behind, in which case the original acceleration without reference to any movement is the most stable.

"You don't seem to think you can't lose?" Novsky's voice came to my ears again, "But, look at how boring your resistance is. Really, can't you be happier? Mr. Takakawa, a little more passionate, a little more passionate, yelling, hysterics, and bursting out all the urine. I'm using forty percent of my strength, and you're still grinding like this, and if you don't wake up, I'm going to end the fight." ”

"You mean, should I reveal my second hole card?" I asked rhetorically, the blades and hilts in my hands interlaced, and they coordinated to parry Novsky's melee attack - this monster, by now, the tricks have become simple, if it weren't for the first blow so weird, I really would have thought that it was just talking about the momentum, but in fact it was releasing water.

However, even its melee attacks have a huge lack of skill, however, I am not in full form.

The dotted line in self-testing continues and is now on the verge of spreading to the thighs. With the loss of a foot and the inability to perform normally in the speed sweep, my average speed is actually inferior, and the body strengthened by the fourth-level demon pattern does not have an advantage in front of the body of the monster Novsky.

I can see through its melee attack skills, however, the best response, even if I am aware of it, is limited by its own conditions, and cannot be done normally. Even if you just face a hard hit, it is difficult to exert strength in the case of losing a leg, and you fall into the disadvantage in the most basic strength.

The next moment, I was knocked out again. Fortunately, in addition to the blurring of the body, because of KY3001's dress, even if it was hit directly, there were no more injuries and pain.

I barely adjusted my body in mid-air, sticking my long knife into the ground to stop myself. The inertia generated by the previous blow was really extraordinary.

In this dimensionality reduction environment, shapes, power effects, observed images, and so on...... As if any one of these factors can be anomalous.

Having lost my right leg, it took me half a second to rebalance myself. The pursuit I had expected did not materialize, and Novsky's face suddenly enlarged before his eyes—it was pressed together, its eyes slanted, its eyes burning, filled with an unusually oppressive feeling.

"You just said something interesting, Mr. Takakawa. You mean, do you really have a second hole card? Wow wow wow wow! It's really Mr. Takakawa! It's really worthy of being a fourth-level magic pattern emissary! Novsky said, its neck retracting like a rubber band, dodging the blade I had slashed off.

After a few ups and downs, it opened up and stared at me from ten meters away.

"It seems to be true...... Mr. Takakawa, your eyes are telling me-" Novsky turned his head abruptly and looked behind him, "Huh? Nothing. ”

"Really? It turns out that you also feel it, and it is also true, this is your home field after all. As I said this, a sharp pain spread throughout my body, as if all the nerves had been torn apart.

"Don't get carried away!" Novsky was a little agitated, it seemed to feel something, "What are you waiting for?" Mr. Takakawa, I can kill you right now! As it said that, it suddenly vanished in place, knocking me into the air again faster than before, before I could barely react. This time, the explosive use of the speed sweep was not completely avoided, and he was kicked in the head by one of its whip legs.

This time, however, as before, there were no actual injuries or pain.

Yes, the pain was not caused by this melee attack.

But why does it have to use this crappy melee attack so often?

I supported my body with the blade of my sword, and hedged the data through the fourth-level magic pattern to create a lit cigarette.

"Because, it can't be done." I came to this conclusion.

"You can kill me. But it wasn't right away. I took a hard puff of my cigarette to ease the nerve pain and said, "You didn't try to play with me, and you didn't let me out." As you said before, this is your full strength in your current state. You stack your maximum power to the first hit at once, which makes your subsequent attacks no longer produce more practical damage, no, probably even the melee attacks after are only used to assist the first hit. When I received the first blow, I was indeed not far from death, but it was not an immediate death. You should have other tricks, but you chose such a 'mystery' as the decisive blow, why? Need me to guess what? (To be continued......)
