Chapter 40: The Battle of the Night (Part II)

Suddenly, silently, a dark and faint figure suddenly appeared in the air behind the punk, and at the same time, another identical figure also appeared behind Kane!

"Three enemies"?Between the lightning and flint, the punk's brain was running at great speed, and the blue magic light swirled in the punk's pupils like a tiny whirlpool!

"No, it's no, it's the skill—the shadow clone"!

Punk came up with this accurate answer almost instantly, if there were three enemies, then he and Kane would have died under the first sneak attack, and they would not have had a chance to think about the number of enemies!

Just as Punk came up with an answer, two pitch-black figures slashed the slender dark green dagger in their hands at Punk and Kane's throats as fast as lightning! Seeing the green blade representing death getting closer and closer to him, there was no trace of panic on Punk's face.

The effect of the shadow clone is to use the shadow energy to create a phantom that is almost exactly the same as the main body and manipulate the phantom to attack, but this doppelganger is just an illusory shadow after all, and she has no actual attack and defense power, so her role is only to confuse the enemy and not cause damage.

Now, through systematic analysis, there is a trace of confusion and redundancy in the energy flow of this shadow in front of her, and the probability that she is an illusory clone is as high as eighty percent, but Punk still did not hesitate to release the "secondary shield technique" that had just been prepared in his hand Although both the analysis of the system and the logic that the enemy should attack Kane, who is closer to his companion, to protect his companion show that the enemy with a sharp attack in front of the punk is just a phantom, but who said that the quasi-enemy will not take advantage of people's habitual thinking to do the opposite, and disguise the real body as a phantom to attack, punk does not dare to risk his life.

However, this time the enemy didn't play any tricks, and the dagger with a strange green cold light turned into a misty shadow and disappeared when it came into contact with the pale blue shield created by the punk, which was indeed just a clone!

"Then ......", Punk looked at Kane, there was no doubt that the shadowy dark figure that attacked Kane was the enemy's real body.

As a knight, Kane is better at charging charges, his sharp but long lance is not suitable for close combat, and his enchanted armor provides great defense but also reduces his flexibility, so being close to an agile stalker is very disadvantageous for Kane.

However, Kane is not a fuel-efficient lamp, I saw him lean back sharply with lightning speed, and at the same time, the scorching riding spear wrapped in a strong fighting spirit was slanted towards the enemy from the bottom up, at this time Kane had avoided being killed by a single blow, and he also made an effective counterattack. If the enemy chooses to continue the pursuit, there may be a good chance that Kane's throat will be torn in the end, but he will also be cut in half by the spear.

Due to being in the pit, Kane did not notice the abnormal performance of the No. 1 Stalker at the first time, and under the sudden attack of the No. 2 Stalker, although Kane did not defend in advance like Punk, he still made the countermeasure with the greatest chance of survival - gambling!

He's gambling, betting that the enemy won't have the guts to die with him!

As it turned out, he had won the bet, and Stalker Two stomped through the air, her figure drifting away like petals in the ordinary breeze as ripples of shadow spread out of thin air as ripples of shadow spread over where her toes landed.

"Shadow Walk", a light skill that gives the Stalker to tread the snow without a trace, allowed Stalker No. 2 to dodge Kane's attacks with a heavy lift, but she also lost her last chance to kill Kane!

Kane burst into vindictiveness and instantly launched a charge with his body almost close to the ground, and Kane, who was almost on the ground, burst out of the pit and stood next to the punk after a few unloading rolls.

At this time, the enemy's two stalkers had entered the stealth state again, and everything in the night land full of rifts once again returned to a state of tranquility like "as if nothing had happened", but everyone knew that a huge crisis was brewing in the night......

Punk's face was a little pale, so was Kane, and Putte, who had long been frightened by this fast-paced battle of step-by-step, couldn't stand up even more trembling!

Victory is out of reach now, and retreat (escape) is the only way out, but now that is a night that is extremely favorable to the enemy, it is not easy to escape in front of two stalkers who are clearly higher than you!

Without much time to think, Punk immediately blessed himself with a rather expensive apprentice-level spell magic - Mage Shield, a gray circular shield with flashing blue dots of light to protect Punk, facing two enemies who may come out of any enemy at any time, a 360-degree defense without dead ends is crucial, Kane also ignored the damage of the armor, and filled it with light and fighting energy, and now, he is like a sculpture that flashes with golden light, holding the riding spear motionless!

It can be said that this is already the most perfect defense state of the two people, even if the two stalkers attack with all their might, not only will they not want to break such layers of defense, but they will expose themselves.

But...... There is a little bit of ...... The huge drawbacks can't be ignored – it's too much to consume.

Whether it is Punk's mage shield or Kane's Douqi attachment, it requires the caster's continuous output of mana or Douqi to maintain, even if there is no violent attack to further increase the energy consumption, with Punk and Kane's apprentice-level soul level, this state can be maintained for a few minutes at most, and when the mana and Douqi are exhausted, the two who have lost the protection of the "turtle shell" will only be more lifeless!

In fact, with the speed of Punk and Kane, run away with all your might, no! If you retreat with all your strength, there is still a good chance of retreating (escaping) successfully, after all, the stalker who is good at hiding does not have the massive physical strength of a warrior, nor does he have the convenient spell to increase the speed like a mage, so Punk and Kane are now like antelopes that want to get rid of the pursuit of the cheetah, as long as they dodge the first wave of the cheetah's all-out sprint, they can easily get rid of the cheetah that has been weakened by holding speed for a long time.

But here's the thing............ How can you best avoid the initial pursuit of the two excellent cheetahs of the Stalker?

Punk quietly looked sideways at the city of Konora, which had been glimpsed in the distance, and under the analysis of the system, the results came out quickly, judging by the mobility of these two enemies in the battle just now, their peak speed could be maintained for at most fifteen seconds!

But in these fifteen seconds, Punk and Kane can be said to be in great danger, because no one can guarantee that the enemy will not have a special arcane explosion speed, and the two people who run away with all their strength have no ability to fight back at all!

So...... Having a way to stop the enemy from pursuing for a short period of time will greatly increase the safety of retreat (escape), and it is best to make the enemy have to stop because of the trouble they have to deal with, and wait for the enemy to deal with the "trouble............ I've run far away!

And this method ...... It's actually quite simple!

The corners of Punk's mouth faintly outlined a chilling sneer!
