Chapter 149, Means of Counterattack
readx; Seeing the scene of Osmond being shot down by an arrow, Erwin only had two words left in his heart, and only these two words could perfectly express how he felt at this moment. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Elvin has always been most satisfied with Susan's amazing archery skills, her archery skills have grown at an astonishing rate, when she first met Susan in the Shadow Mountains, Susan's archery skills were probably similar to that of the army's marksman, but she was still very young.
However, since leaving the Shadow Mountains, Susan's archery skills have improved by leaps and bounds, quickly surpassing the so-called marksman, and finally even catching up with the professions of many gamers.
Erwin originally thought that his strength should be far behind Susan, but judging from the current situation, in terms of hand-to-hand combat, Erwin can indeed completely defeat Susan, but if the two are separated by more than a hundred meters and there is no cover in between, then it is difficult to say whether the winner will be defeated.
In terms of ranged attack power, Susan has reached the level of a rank gate powerhouse.
Osmond fell backwards on his back, and Susan's arrow shot straight into his eye socket, the sharp arrow that exploded his eyeballs, and the powerful arrow from the winged bow pierced Osmond's entire skull.
With a "snap", Osmond fell to the snow, he howled miserably, stretched out his hand and grabbed the arrow inserted in his eye socket, and then pulled it out violently, and pulled the arrow out directly.
It was not blood that was driven out by the arrows, and the swirling black mist, like a ball with a small hole pierced, leaked out of Osmond's eye sockets, forming a splattering and flying snake-like mist.
If he is an ordinary person, such a blow may have killed him, even if it is an elite warrior, or a strong man like Erwin who has entered the door of the rank, it may also be a one-hit kill, but Osmond is not an ordinary person, his current body is almost entirely a person composed of cursed energy, Erwin and Susan's attacks can only reduce the energy on his body little by little, and it can't be like ordinary humans, as long as he attacks a little bit to kill him.
Of course, this blow was not something that Osmond could ignore casually, at least he could now feel it completely, like a living person who could feel the joy, anger and sorrow, and at the same time, he could also feel the pain, and the sharp pain of being shot from the eye socket into the brain by a bow and arrow was not something that ordinary people could bear.
What's more, Osmon is now leaning over Rex's body, and Rex is not dead, but his body is controlled by Osmon, and Susan will attack Rex at the same time as attacking Osmon, and the two add up to almost twice the pain.
Osmond covered his eyes and swayed up from the ground, if it was before, he could also use the power of the curse to transform Rex's body into an evil cursed creature, which can quickly heal the injuries on his body, but now he can't do it, because Osmond's strength is no longer enough, in order to completely control Rex's body, Osmond has spent almost all his strength, and the two completely different ways he uses to control Rex and Gegil, Gegill is to transform the body first, and then fused with the spirit to become one, and Rex's side affected him through the spirit at the beginning and achieved control step by step, and there was almost no transformation in the physical aspect, just like he was before, which is why Erwin saw that Rex did not have the ability to heal as quickly as Gegil.
Resisting the sharp pain in his eye sockets, Osmond shook his head in place, then looked up and saw Elwin not far away, still leaning against the tree and not falling.
Osmond raised the Black Rose Blade in his hand high, and with a strong stomp under his feet, the tremendous force penetrated from his thighs to the soles of his feet and then into the ground, blasting a large crater like a mine buried in the dirt, and his whole body disappeared from the spot once again.
Although the pain in his eyes was still unbearable, Osmond's spirit and thinking were not confused, he knew very well that this was because Rex was also injured by Susan's arrow, and the consciousness that he suppressed and hidden in the deepest part of his heart began to move again, which caused a lot of effects on Osmond, but for the time being, there was no threat to his absolute control of his body.
However, just in case, Osmond still decided to deal with Erwin first, he knew very well that Erwin could be said to be Susan's spiritual support, as long as Erwin died, Susan would definitely not be his opponent.
No sooner had Erwin recovered from Susan's astonishing archery skills than he saw Osmond rise from the ground and disappear towards him again.
In an instant, almost without thinking, Erwin swooped to the side, he knew that his current eyesight was not as good as Susan's, even if he released the skill of probing, he had not enhanced his dynamic vision, and he could not capture Osmond's movements at all, so when Osmond disappeared, Erwin threw himself to the side just a subconscious action.
Just when Erwin just pounced from the spot, there was a sound of "bang" from behind, and Osmond's disappearing figure swept over a distance of more than ten meters in an instant to the position where Erwin was originally standing, and the black rose blade in his hand swung forward, forming a fan-shaped black sword light, which slashed at the tree that Erwin was leaning on.
The sharp black blade sliced directly through the tree, cutting through the dead bark and the tough tree structure.
I only heard a click, this giant tree hugged by two people, just like this, was directly cut off from the middle by Osmond, and the upper half of the tree nearly ten meters high slowly fell back with the canopy, directly overwhelming many small trees next to it, and smashed on the ground with a loud "bang".
Osmond pulled the Black Rose Blade out of the tree, turned to face Elwyn who had fallen beside him, and slammed forward with another hard stomp under his feet.
Before Elwin could turn around, he heard movement from behind him and knew that Osmond's attack had landed on the big tree, and then there was a clear sound of breaking through the air, and Erwin rolled directly to the side, and rolled into the grass.
There was a "boom" sound, and Osmond's whole body was like a rampage saw blade, plowing a deep mark directly on the snow, cutting past Erwin's side, and the black rose blade was driven by him to form a continuous piece, like a black silk cloth, cutting all the trees and grass along the way in half.
Erwin dodged Osmond's second impact, he quickly got up from the ground, looked back, and saw Osmond passing through the woods, and then suddenly stopped in front of a tree, and then slowly turned to look at Irwin.
At this moment, Erwin already had a glimmer of realization in his heart, and he could see that Osmond's strength and speed had completely reached the level of the second order of the Rank Gate, and he had been replaced by a gamer, which was about the same level as fifteen levels of strength.
However, to this extent, there is only strength and speed, Osmond's reflexes, his control ability is far from reaching the level of being able to match strength and speed, this is why Osmond's every impact is a straight line, after being dodged by Erwin, he can't make changes quickly, he can only stop, and then change direction This thankless way, because he has sacrificed flexibility in order to get extremely fast speed, and he can't change direction at will in a fast sprint, Otherwise, you will lose control of your body due to excessive inertia.
After all, Osmond's current body is not his real body, although it is wrapped in the power of the curse, that is, the black mist, in his current body, it is the body of a completely different person like Rex, so the ability to control body movements is definitely not enough.
Osmond has not transformed Rex's body, judging from the resurrection of the past hundred years, Osmond wants to achieve a complete state of resurrection, and must meet the conditions of complete integration of spirit and body, at the beginning Osmond chose Gegil, in addition to his own lack of strength, there is also a reason why Gegir is easier to transform - he first transformed Gegil's body, so that he can fully fit with Osmond's power, and then merge with his spirit to become one, In this way, the resurrection of the full state can be achieved.
And Rex's body has not been transformed, so it is not compatible with Osmond's strength, and the only place that fits is only the spiritual aspect, which caused Osmond's lack of control over Rex's body.
So when Erwin found out about this, his mind was already racing and he quickly found a way to fight back.
Osmond stopped his sprint and turned around again, facing Elwin.
He thought that Erwin would definitely turn around and run, at least find a cover to dodge first, but he didn't expect that after Erwin got up from the ground, he would stay where he was, facing him, and after receiving so many attacks, he would want to continue fighting with him.
"Your fighting spirit amazes me young people." Osmond praised from the bottom of his heart, "You have been able to maintain courage and confidence in such adverse circumstances, which is an excellent quality that many people do not have, and I am really curious where you have cultivated such outstanding qualities and strong spirits."
Erwin didn't answer, but his eyes widened, watching Osmond's every move.
Osmond was shot by Susan in the eye socket, and the black mist was leaking out of it, and then disappeared into the air like a coiling and twisting snake, this situation is the same as the first time Elwin encountered the monster of the Forsaken in the Shadow Mountains, after the armor is pierced through the gap, this black mist-like thing will also leak out of it, and strictly speaking, Osmond, the great demon of the hundred-year-old curse, is actually the same breed of thing as the low-level monster of the Forsaken, The difference is just that one is high and one is low.
Seeing that Erwin didn't answer his words, Osmond didn't care, but continued: "Although your quality is amazing, but sometimes courage and self-confidence are not enough, only strength is the most important thing, without strength, you can't do anything with faith alone, and it will only make people laugh."
As soon as Osmond's words fell, the whole person sprinted again, and the speed instantly exceeded the level that the naked eye could capture.
But this time, Erwin didn't fall to the side or roll away, the moment Osmond's body just moved, Erwin followed and rushed head-on in the direction of Osmond, stabbing the iron sword forward violently, instantly releasing the skill triangle continuous slash.
With three brushes, Erwin's iron sword slashed out three silver sword lights in an instant, forming a narrow triangle sword light in the air, and the tip of this triangular sword light was also the last sword with the most powerful triangular continuous slash stabbing forward, staggering with the oncoming black sword light.
The sword lights, one black and one silver, seemed to collide with each other, and seemed to penetrate each other, and the two sword lights shattered into countless pieces like glass shattered by a hammer, each of which became shattered and disappeared into the air.
And Erwin and Osmond's bodies also staggered in mid-air, Irwin sprinted forward a few steps before staggering to a stop, behind him, Osmond's body also teleported again.
With a "poof", a wound on Erwin's shoulder suddenly burst open, and blood gushed out.
On the other side, Osmond turned around in disbelief, and next to his ribside and abdomen, a narrow wound had completely pierced the black armor on his body, and black mist was leaking out of the wound.
"It's impossible, he dodged it, and he was able to fight back and hurt me."
Osmond was almost twice as painful, and couldn't help but stretch out a hand to cover the wound in his abdomen, but this was not the same injury as ordinary people, not like ordinary people because of muscle contraction and squirming, and the stickiness of the blood itself, after coagulation, it would have the effect of stopping bleeding.
The black mist that leaked from Osmond's wound could not be stopped, passing rapidly from the palms of his hands and between his fingers.
Osmond's heart was full of disbelief, as if he had just been shot over by Susan's arrow, and he couldn't understand for a moment how Erwin, who had been passively beaten, could turn around and hurt him.
Erwin gritted his teeth and endured the sharp pain in his shoulder, then turned around to meet Osmond's disbelieving gaze.
"How did you do that? With your strength, speed, and reflexes, it's impossible to dodge my attacks. Osmond couldn't help but ask
Erwin smiled but didn't speak, but continued to raise the iron sword in his hand, he was not an idiot, how could he tell his opponent so easily to come up with a counterattack.
In fact, it was not a powerful method, Osmond's speed was too fast, so fast that he could barely control it, so when he started to sprint, he would first set the Black Rose Blade in his hand at the angle he wanted to attack, and even if he wanted to change it halfway, he could only make a small change.
And Erwin just saw this place, the moment Osmond disappeared, he remembered the angle of Osmond's Black Rose Blade, when they rushed head-on to each other, Irwin did not rush forward directly stupidly, but made changes in the process of sprinting, so that his body avoided the angle shrouded by the Black Rose Blade, and at the same time moved the iron sword to the straight line area of Osmond's sprint, Irwin did not need to attack, Osmond himself would directly hit the iron sword, and Irwin only needed to hold on to the hilt of the sword, just don't let the Iron Sword be knocked out.
The injury to his shoulder was only due to a slight error in Osmond's speed estimation, and it was not a serious injury.
On the other hand, the armor worn by Osmond is also a very famous treasure-level equipment, and Elwin's own strength alone, coupled with the iron sword, may not be able to break the defense, but this attack is completely Osmond himself hit at his own extremely fast speed, and the output of the greater power of the iron sword piercing the armor is actually Osmond himself.
Seeing that Erwin didn't answer, Osmond took a deep breath, grabbed the Black Rose Blade with both hands, and rushed towards Erwin again, he didn't believe that with his strength and speed far exceeding Erwin, he could still be successfully counterattacked by him.
Elwin's eyes widened suddenly, quickly locking on the angle and position of Osmond's figure as he vanished.
The body also rushed forward, and Erwin's movements quickly changed, completely avoiding Osmond's Black Rose Blade, and at the same time, the iron sword stabbed forward, unleashing the heavy attack skill.
The two sword lights, one black and one silver, pierced each other again, just like night and day switching between each other, and the bodies of the two staggered again, and then stopped sprinting at the same time.
This time, Erwin didn't have any injuries on his body, and he completely estimated Osmond's speed and strength, and completely dodged his attack.
Osmond's body shook for a moment, and he turned around, not only the narrow wound under his ribs near his abdomen, but also a new wound on his shoulder, from which black mist quickly leaked out.
"I finally understand, your means of counterattacking." Osmond whispered.
