Volume 2 [Dark Tide] Chapter 177: The Last Demon Hunter (9)

In the eyes of others, Kevin's defense was airtight and didn't give Roddy any chance at all.

As soon as three seconds passed, Roddy's three-board axe-like attack slowed down, and Kevin snorted coldly, although he didn't know why the person in front of him dared to fight against the mercenary group alone, but he didn't hesitate to kill him when he was enraged - his eyes narrowed, his long sword hummed, and he swung down at Roddy seemingly randomly...

According to Roddy's previous fighting style, this blow must be blocked with dual knives, but what is extremely strange is... Just as Kevin's sword was swinging, Roddy suddenly used the "Leap" skill backwards, and instantly jumped out four meters away like a spring

There was no warning for such an action, so that Kevin didn't have time to react at all, the long sword in his hand inevitably slashed into the air, and the blade that suddenly radiated a crystal light released a cold aura, causing a large white ice cube to condense on the ground under the blade

Level 4 "Frost Strike" has a Frost Power boost when attacking, slows the enemy by 15 speed and attack speed after hitting, has a 40 chance to immobilize the enemy, and has a 40 chance to freeze the enemy completely.

This kind of melee magic skill is the biggest difference between the "magic swordsman" and other physical classes, their magic skills are not good at long-range spell casting, but they can surprisingly win with fast and powerful magic strikes in the medium and short range, killing enemies.

Kevin is extremely confident in his own strength, and this trick has been tried and tested repeatedly, and even many opponents who are stronger than him have been plotted because of this... But when the sword fell, Roddy, who was four meters away, was unharmed, and this scene gave Kevin an unwarranted illusion: Could it be that he had completely seen through his skills?

If Roddy had known what he was thinking, he would have generously admitted, "You guessed right."

Because Kevin's tricks have no secrets in his eyes: the starting hand that condenses the fireball, and the faint flash of the sword when he holds the sword to launch the "Frost Strike", have already exposed his tactical intentions to Roddy's eyes

Although Roddy's level at this time is not high, his attributes are not strong, and his equipment is not the top, the main reason why he can survive to this day and repeatedly create miracles is because of the "combat experience" that is difficult for ordinary people to reach... All classes, races, skills, routines, moves, combat characteristics, and even the talent tendencies of each class, etc., these things will always be half-understood for "ripper natives" like Kevin, but for Roddy, who has been playing for four years, these materials have long been treasured.

After such a ten-second melee fight, although Roddy did not have the upper hand, he had clearly judged how Kevin's "talent" was added, and even the follow-up skills of this "magic swordsman" had been predicted

When the frost and ice condensed by the "Frost Strike" appeared on the ground, Roddy didn't show any extra expression, his eyes narrowed slightly, but the focus was on Kevin's empty left hand-

"It's time to open the shield."

He muttered to himself, without the slightest frustration at the defeat of the attack, and stepped to the side with an indifferent face, then turned and ran to the side.

As soon as Roddy's indiscernible words fell, Kevin, who made the spell casting gesture, just condensed a round "frost shield" on his left arm - he didn't hear Roddy's words, otherwise he would have been surprised by the other party's prediction. At this time, Kevin saw that Roddy avoided fighting, and the original doubts in his heart had disappeared, and a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he chased after him.

The "Frost Shield" can effectively resist the rapid attacks of Roddy's twin blades, but the maintenance time is only 3 seconds, and its weight is much larger than the ordinary "iron-clad wood" shield, the only advantage is that it is strong in resistance to blows, and it is difficult to destroy this "Frost Shield" in 3 seconds in the same level of battle.

With it, Kevin is completely invincible in one-on-one hand-to-hand combat... But after chasing a few steps, Kevin was annoyed to find that his shield was simply "cocooning" - because he found that Roddy was indeed determined to escape, but he wanted to pursue, but it was difficult for him to keep up with the other party's footsteps because of this heavy shield

A shield of more than forty kilograms was worn on his arm, so that Kevin could only watch Roddy run into the distance, this feeling of humiliation that he wanted to fight but couldn't hit made him angry, and he shouted loudly to his mercenaries who didn't dare to approach before: "Stop him"

Then Kevin threw the elemental condensed shield to the ground with a "clang", directly blessed himself with a "light wind" acceleration effect, and then released a "icicle technique" at Roddy and chased after him quickly.

"When the shield is finished, you have to speed up, and when you finish accelerating, throw an ice pick."

Roddy didn't look back, completely guessing all of Kevin's reactions, and even the factor that the "Ice Pick Technique" only had a 2-second cast time after being strengthened by the talent was clearly calculated

He carried two knives, and when he saw two mercenaries rushing up, he raised his hand and threw a scimitar out of the way, because the range of action was too large, and the mercenaries running in front of him dodged on one side, but in this way, the body lost its center of gravity... Luo Di took advantage of the situation to bully, and the remaining scimitar in his hand slashed away the opponent's long sword, and the "click" elbow smashed the opponent's throat, and then reached out to grab the opponent's arm, and took advantage of the situation to pull behind him-

"Poof"

The icicle technique flying from behind was blocked by the mercenary's body

With blood splattering, Roddy continued forward, swinging his knife and fighting with the next mercenary. Although Kevin, who was chasing after him from behind, was angry, he couldn't help frowning - he had a faint sense of crisis, but he knew in his heart that the other party's swordsmanship and strength were not comparable to his own at all, as long as he caught up with this guy, he would definitely be able to kill him in five moves

"Light of the Wind" is a wind-based spell that increases speed by 6 for 3 seconds. With such a spell blessing after throwing off the shield, Kevin instantly shortened the distance between him and Roddy, he raised his leg and jumped over the corpse of the mercenary who was pierced by the "Ice Pick Technique", and his left hand once again condensed the next spell...

Roddy, who was in front, had already shaved off the mercenary's head, but after this blow, the time limit of "Wild Heart" had also come to an end. Losing the strength bonus, Roddy would not fight hard with Kevin, he turned his direction and ran directly towards a giant tree more than ten meters away - at the same moment, Kevin's "Burst Impact" spell was cast, and his arm was raised...

But Roddy opened his eyes as if from behind, and at the moment before Kevin's spell was activated, he cast the "Snake Leap" skill that belonged to Sakya...

Compared to "Leap", the effect of "Snake Leap" is more exaggerated due to the strength level of the Snake King's level 45, the previous "Wild Heart" only made Roddy feel filled with a violent force, and at this time, "Snake Leap" is completely like detonating a bomb in his body

"Smack"

The footsteps made a deep footprint on the ground, and Luo Di's figure suddenly bounced out of the tree like a crossbow arrow, and he stepped over a distance of 2 meters from the ground, and came directly to the giant tree where the four people were hugging, and he made a mistake and hid behind the tree

All this happened too fast, and when Kevin raised his hand to cast the spell, Roddy was still within seven meters in front of him, but when the elemental condensation was completed and the shockwave swept ahead, Roddy had already disappeared behind the giant tree...

Damn it

He was no longer able to stop the Burst Blast, and could only watch as another skill fell short

"Burst Impact" is a fire skill, the damage range is 12 meters, the damage is decreasing, if Roddy is hit in the position just now, the consequence must be blown to pieces, but at this time, this spell only hit the giant tree with a "boom" out of countless pits, and swept up the dust, but it failed to hurt the ground at all...

Kevin walked through the fallen leaves and sand without slowing down, and was about to swing his sword in anger, but then found that there was no trace of Roddy behind the tree or even in the entire field of vision...

Skills came out one after another, but the opponent was able to crack all his attacks with ease - Kevin used five skills: "Fireball", "Frost Strike", "Frost Shield", "Light of the Wind" and "Burst Impact" from beginning to end, even if it was an enemy of equal strength, it would be a serious injury if he was smashed by so many skills and not die...

But right now, this guy is not only unharmed, but also disappeared under his nose

Kevin continued to rush out a few steps unconvinced, his vision swept over the gray-brown trees around him, and he looked down for a long time, but he still couldn't find even the slightest abnormality.

The more Kevin pondered it, the more he felt aggrieved in his heart: this kind of battle seemed to be chasing Roddy, but in fact, he had never been able to grasp the initiative of the battle, not only that, Kevin himself didn't notice... After this battle, his men lost two again, and the remaining mercenaries completely lost the will to fight, and he himself unconsciously moved away from the battlefield where the wood elves were, and entered a completely silent and completely unfamiliar area.

With 19 seconds left in the effect of "Light of the Wind", Kevin didn't know where he should be looking. He had faced all kinds of enemies, and he had also encountered those who were not strong enough to try to escape, but after so many battles, he had never seen such a "disciplined" enemy who could escape.

Just when Kevin was depressed, the sudden sound of the wind behind him made his hair stand on end in an instant - twisted around and raised his sword to block, "click", the long sword blocked the attacking scimitar at the last moment, but he was so passively attacked, he didn't have time to resist Roddy's back move, and his abdomen was immediately kicked by a follow-up kick, and he took several steps back...

This kick didn't hurt Kevin's body seriously, but it hurt his self-esteem more than a kick in the face

He couldn't have imagined that the sand and dust he created would allow Luo Di to use the "stealth technique" to hold the "initiative" of the battle in his hands
