Volume 2 [Dark Tide] Chapter 214 A Narrow Road Encounter, a Frontal Battle
At the same time, the battle in front of the catacombs was over.
For death, the vaunted Ansatin was not prepared at all ... He still has countless ambitions to realize, and countless news to report to His Majesty Augustine, and he firmly believes that the Tasman Kingdom will inevitably prosper and prosper with his efforts...
But all of this ended with the long sword that cut everything off.
The disappearance of the fire golem deprived him of his worst barrier, and Nata's final attack after a long time of patience interrupted his most critical spell - the failure of the release of a "bone shield technique", which directly determined the final outcome of the entire battle.
So Wellington approached him without hindrance, raised his sword and beheaded him on the spot.
It's just that when Ansadin's body fell, the "Knell Summoning" scroll in his cloth bag was automatically released... The fluctuations of necromantic qi instantly enveloped the surrounding ten meters, and a dark green smoke appeared above the corpse of the necromancer.
At first, the smoke was just a sphere, and then a gap opened in the middle, and the next moment the demonic pupils appeared, Wellington and Sodrore next to them had already swung their swords and slashed at them
The two of them weren't stupid enough to wait for this thing to change slowly, and they knew with their knees that it wasn't a good thing, so they tacitly chose to attack at the same time... But after the blade slashed through the smoke, it didn't destroy the eyeball at all, but the pupil slowly raised, staring at Wellington in front of him.
Wellington's eyes narrowed, and he felt a chill all over his body for a moment—an instinctive reaction to murderous and hostile intent, and he could feel the guy behind the eyes staring at him.
Sodlore next to him was stabbing at the eyeball with a long sword, but several swords in a row had no effect, and he was about to continue slashing at a different angle, but he found that something was grabbed under his feet, and when he looked down, he saw that a palm stretching out of the soil was dragging his foot and neck...
"Click" Wellington stomped on the skeleton crawling out from the side, looked up at the eyeball that couldn't be touched, and whispered, "Back off"
The eyeball showed no signs of energy gathering or spellcasting, so Wellington immediately prepared to call for help from the priest Akasha after observing for a few seconds, but a scream rang out from behind the low wall...
"Ahh
Originally, Akasha was trying to restrain the discomfort caused by the "Intermediate Mana Elixir" to restore mana, the feeling of burning her whole body that she had never experienced before, but as soon as she lowered her head, she saw a short skeleton crawling out of the ground in front of her - it was wearing child-like clothes, and after looking at Akasha with two empty eye sockets, she opened her mouth and was about to pounce and bite...
The "Holy Light Punishment" knocked the opponent out of the wall, and Akasha stumbled out from behind the low wall, if it weren't for Wellington and Sodlorre smashing three or four skeletons all the way over, I'm afraid she would have been surrounded by a large number of undead creatures rushing up.
"Attack That Eye"
Wellington shouted a warning to Akasha - the latter turned around, also startled by the huge eyeball, and immediately raised his hand to cast the magic spell, but the eyeball was still floating and did not suffer any damage at all.
"If you can't fight, try to get out of here..."
There was no other way at the moment, and they weren't sure if this thing would suddenly explode, and after several attempts to no avail, the three of them immediately prepared to support Roddy - but at this time, there were more and more skeletons coming up around them, and Akasha's eyes swept over the rotting corpses, and her face was ugly: "What is this?" They look like..."
"It's the corpses that were once buried here, and they're being resurrected as skeletons"
Wellington knew something about the undead, and with a glance he guessed that the catacombs they were in were a graveyard before they were built, otherwise there wouldn't have been so many corpses "resurrected" as skeletons.
At this time, the situation is critical, and there are constantly skeletons rushing around to attack. The two knights raised their shields and daggers and struck five by two to destroy all the skeletons that came close to them—these newly resurrected skeletons were far from as strong as they had imagined, and were as fragile as rotten stakes.
"Get closer, don't get too far away, watch your step." Wellington has the most experience in combat, and immediately assumed the role of the core commander, he raised his foot and kicked a skeleton crawling outward, the center of gravity of his body sank slightly, and Sodrol protected Akasha in the center one after another, and then pointed to the back garden where Roddy was and said: "Lean over from the side, Sodlore and I cover, Akasha supports Roddy with magic skills"
"Yes"
"Ming... Got it. ”
Compared to Sodrore, Akasha's reaction was half a beat slower, but the three of them could be regarded as having a certain amount of cooperation. But when Wellington turns to look for Nata, he finds that she is no longer visible from the tree in the distance...
Nata was standing at the edge of the back garden at this time.
She raised her bow, but Magda was moving too fast to be sure of what to aim, and the arrow was never fired.
Cold sweat dripped down her forehead, and Nata felt her heart beating extremely fast, and even felt her fingers holding the bowstring a little stiff.
The reason for this state is entirely due to the combat level of the undead in front of her, which is beyond the scope of her cognition-
velocity
Force
Momentum
These three points, she thought that she had witnessed Roddy's battle before being thrown out of a hundred streets by Magda, and she thought that it was the so-called "limit", but she didn't know that the strength shown by this "dark ranger" at this time could even suppress Roddy
The force to kick and shatter a low wall, the rapid-fire skill to swing a phantom in an arm, the calm pace, the overwhelming reaction... Magda's strength gave Nata a direct illusion of "invincibility".
Even at the moment when she aimed at Magda's back, the other party's gray-white pupils turned to look at her, and then turned back again, completely ignoring her own arrogant attitude
Nata understood the meaning in Magda's eyes: "Even if you let the horse come, I didn't take you seriously."
This kind of strong self-confidence made Nata's arrow hesitate.
But she was never intimidated - the choice was simple: if she didn't make a move, then Roddy would probably be killed directly...
Roddy is dead, and all his efforts are meaningless.
So when Roddy turned to fight and Magda stopped, Nata gritted her teeth and shot the arrow without hesitation
The Blightcaster immediately sensed Nata's attack, leaned back slightly, and dodged the arrow without even looking.
Then he turned and raised his bow, and actually made a gesture of aiming at Nata, which was actually a trap, in order to lure Roddy to attack him. After seeing Roddy raise his bow, he had already taken a step to the side, dodging Roddy's arrow, and at the same time, turned the arrow that was originally aimed at Nata and shot it at Roddy
Do you finally have to stop and die?
Magda looked more and more hideous, his arm drawing the next arrow in an instant, and continuing to shoot as he stepped forward - Roddy didn't flinch, and approached as well... The distance between the two gradually shortened from twenty meters, and they actually faced each other, and began the final duel in such a tragic manner
There were constantly skeletons rising up all around him, and it was obvious that they had no intention of attacking Magda, and Roddy, who was alone, was like a lonely boat in a storm, but he still did not flinch in the face of dozens of skeletons and Magda's siege
Akasha and the others, who were rushing here, had no time to help, the three of them were too big to target, and they had become the primary target of the skeletons, and at this time, they almost attracted more than sixty percent of the skeletons in the manor to rush towards them
And Nata's face in the distance was tense, she wanted to continue shooting, but the two skeletons beside her rushed straight forward, in order to dodge, she could only watch Roddy, who was cornered, turn around and fight back...
In the field of vision, the two figures facing each other shot arrows almost simultaneously.
Draw arrows, string strings, draw bows, shoot... Roddy's eyes were firmly fixed on Magda in front of him, his body had no intention of dodging at all, and after releasing the bowstring, he directly reached out to take an arrow, and his body did not move sideways
There is a saying that "the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road", but in this case, facing the undead is actually extremely disadvantaged - because the last thing the undead are afraid of is arrows: even if they are shot through the head, as long as they do not destroy the key area, they will not die at all...
So this face-to-face archery decisive battle was extremely unfavorable to Luo Di from the beginning
But when the arrow was fired, Magda suddenly frowned.
He regarded himself as a "strong man" from beginning to end, and in the face of a small role like Roddy, he was fighting with the mentality of crushing the other party in his heart, and he didn't even think that he might be injured.
So when Roddy fired the arrow from ten meters away, the Blighter's arrow was also aimed at Roddy's chest at the same time—as soon as the arrow was off the string, Magda had already predicted that her body was tilting to the side, and she was ready to dodge the attack with her superior reaction.
But then he found that Roddy didn't dodge at all, but directly drew the next arrow and prepared to shoot
This strategy meant that Roddy's rate of fire was half a second faster than Magda's in an instant—and because of this half second, Roddy's next arrow seized the moment Magda froze
Magda couldn't figure out why Roddy did this: the undead don't care about being hit by an arrow, but the end of an arrow in a human being is death, even if it's "life for life", Roddy can't afford to change it at all...
Why is he?
But when such an idea came to him, the arrow that had already hit Roddy's chest was followed by a "click"... Scratched open.
Magda was stunned, and in the next moment, before the second arrow in his hand could be fired, Roddy's arrow had already "poofed" through his left shoulder
