Chapter 71: The Duel Ends (7)
The clouds in the sky let out a meager amount of sunlight out of nowhere, barely illuminating the ground. The huge amphitheater resembled a staircase in a circle, each of which was crowded with people in black pressure. Only the center of the lowest part was empty, and a tall square stone pillar rose from the ground, and two pitch-black figures stood at the north and south ends.
The figure on the north side is tall and slightly slender, all the ups and downs and details of the body are covered by the slightly dark black robe on the body, only the dark red mask that wraps half of the face on the top is particularly conspicuous, and from a distance it looks like a wooden stick with blood on the upper half, pestle on the ground; γ
The two of them didn't make the slightest movement, but there was no wind in the winter of College City, and as a result, the two figures really didn't move like wood or stone. However, suddenly there was a shout from the sky, "Then, I declare, the duel begins!", and before the words fell, the previous stillness like a painting was like an illusion, and the two figures moved at the same time.
A light blue and dark blue halo flashed on Brunei's body, and the soles of his feet exerted force, and his body rushed forward like a sharp arrow off the string, and at the same time, Fernando's fingers trembled slightly, and the hard stones under Brunei's feet inexplicably shattered into small pieces, sinking like quicksand, preventing Brunei's further movements, and at the same time, at the edge, small stones shot up, forming a small curtain.
[Evasion Check: 665, failed.] Even though your actions are quicker with the effects of faster reactions, a momentary distraction in high-intensity combat can still put you at a disadvantage. γ
Dodging Fernando's first rockslide was just the beginning, in just a few seconds of Lord Scoldi's words, four or five rockavalanches were swayed by Fernando as if he didn't want money, first cutting off Brunei Darei's straight rush towards him, followed by the left-hand side of Brunei's turn, blocking Brunei's way, and the three rockslides that were sent out almost simultaneously finally made Brunei unavoidable, and the rubble rushed up like a hornet that had been stabbed in a hive.
[Stones with extremely high velocity deal 1D6 damage to you.] 1D6=5, Current Status: HP=6/11, MP=8/8, Extra MP=498/500. γ
The stones that tore through Brunei's black robe one after another, turning the cloth into tatters along with his body, and in the blink of an eye he passed through the range of the barrier formed by the rubble, but he was already embarrassed, covered in bruises, and the black robe turned back into a scattered rag, faintly revealing the shirt that was originally white underneath, but had been dyed red at the moment.
He looked south, but he didn't catch the same eye on Fernando as he had hoped. The dust kicked up by the rockslide was overwhelming, the rough grit rubbing against the wound that had just been created, and the hot touch almost swallowed Brunei's brain.
But he didn't stop there, and continued to rush with the momentum of breaking through the barrier earlier. It turned out to be the right choice, as about a second later, two more rockslides were silently struck in front of him and where he had been.
[Reconnaissance verification: 2795>60, big failure.] The consequences of your dashing through the ubiquitous sand and dust while staring wide to find your target may be obvious. γ
"Goo!" Brunei snorted, even though he still wanted to open his eyes, the tears that welled up in an instant completely blurred his vision, he subconsciously raised his hand to wipe it, but the sand on the back of his hand made his eyeballs doubly painful.
[No special treatment is required, and all observational tests are subject to a 20-point impairment within the next five minutes.] γ
[Listening test: 66>25, failed.] The sound of running wind fills your ears because of the grinding of sand, and the pain in your eyes makes it even more difficult for you to concentrate, and you don't hear anything you want to hear. γ
"Hell. Brunei cursed in a low voice, expecting his eyes to see something under the dual effect of tears and dust was basically a daydream, and this listening was unsuccessful, and he couldn't help but have a headache.
Brunei took a deep breath - thanks to the mask, at least the sand didn't even affect his breathing: "Adjust your mindset and complain about that kind of thing now. Continuing with the previous train of thought, the rockslide was far from right, indicating that Fernando's vision was also blocked by the sand. β
"If he wasn't simply stupid, then his purpose in raising the sand ...... There are only two possibilities. First, he doesn't care if he hits me, he just wants me not to see him for a while, and secondβ"
[Inspiration Check: 100>95>90, Big Failure.] γ
"What's going onβ" Brunei's train of thought was suddenly interrupted by a cold voice of mechanical mechanics, and before he could finish his sentence, a pain that was far worse than the previous one interrupted him again.
[You take 1D6=1 damage, current state: HP=5/11.] γ
Brunei looked over his right shoulder in pain, through the blurred barrier formed by layers of muddy tears, and under the tattered black robe and shirt, a large piece of skin was also torn and scattered like clothes, and blood was dripping.
[Focus on dodge check: 65=65, success.] γ
The sharp pain almost destroyed his thinking, but it didn't make him forget even his knee-jerk instinctive reaction, and he leaned to the left side almost immediately, while squatting slightly, ready to exert force. Knee-jerk speculation, instinctive movements, and a little luck allowed him to dodge the second attack that followed.
A javelin-like shadow slid against Brunei's side, irritating the existing wound and tearing the already shattered black robe even further, flying upwards like flames. For a moment, Brunei almost thought that the clothes on the right side were really on fire.
"......" but can't stop, "System, go ahead, focus on dodging." β
[Focus on dodge check: 4565, Fail.] γ
[Focus on dodge check: 17<65, success.] γ
Brunei didn't stop, javelin-like black shadows stabbed out of the sand from time to time silently - after seeing it a few times, Brunei felt that the reason why he thought it was a black shadow at first was only because the sand there was denser than the surrounding area...... "The second possibility is that the dust was raised in preparation for his next new attack!"
[You take 1D6 = 4 damage, current state: HP=1/11.] γ
Even if he was as focused as he could, the blurred color differences would inevitably be missed during the run, and he didn't even notice the javelin-like thing before it pierced his entire left shoulder, and the sand followed closely behind him to fill the cylindrical gap in his shoulder, repeatedly polishing the inside of the insmooth wound.
[Syncope test: 29<35, successful.] The intense pain makes your soul burn, and the massive blood loss brings you close to a coma again and again, but your brain miraculously remains awake and keeps your mind going. γ
"He doesn't have enough time. The battle has only started for nearly 40 seconds so far, and a spell that can generate a field that continuously auto-attacks should be at least an intermediate spell, and the chant time of a level 4 spell will not be less than a minute anyway. The continuous attacks that can be dodged are not the same gun, meaning that it is not a single spell of the auto-tracking type. β
"He's watching me! Then I should be able to see him!"
"It's close, it's close! I've run almost forty meters, and even if I add the distance around the bend in the middle, I won't be very far from him!"
Several light green rays of light flashed alternately on Brunei's body, and the small wounds rubbed by the grit were healing one by one, but this only made several large wounds on his body more striking and bloody.
[Heal minor injuries x7, the number of successes is 4, you consume 7 MP and recover 4 HP.] Current Status: HP=5/11, MP=8/8, Extra MP=456/500. γ
[Did I say earlier that your brain is "miraculously awake"?? You can't even figure out how many minor injuries you can use to heal yourself, this doesn't look like the one who claims to fight all by calculation, my little Brunei. γ
"Shut up!"
"See!
In the midst of a dark yellow background, a dark black figure finally emerged.
A deep, blood-like red glow flashed on Brunei's body, and the corners of his mouth were hooked, revealing a bloodthirsty, crazy smile: "Haha! I found you!"
His figure suddenly blurred, and in the blink of an eye, he had already leaped into the air, and in the next second, he was already approaching in front of Fernando, holding the dagger in his left hand, and slashed down in the air!
Fernando calmly raised his head and waved his hand slightly, and the sand around him gathered in mid-air, gathering in the shape of a spear in an instant, separating the dagger and piercing Brunei's left wrist at the same time-
As soon as the crimson blood spurted out, it turned a cloudy black, and in an instant, it seemed to float in the air, fixed into a strange shape.
Brunei laughed lowly: "Huh." Got you. β
A flash of the sword!
