Section C Chapter 133: Claws of the Abyss (Beverly)
Well, if you don't pay attention, you might get killed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
As for how Beverly noticed it, it can be seen from the fact that he deliberately made a big turn to continue the chase in order to keep running, without turning around directly.
To be honest, it's very intimidating, especially when it's high up and it can feel very domineering. But once you fight in a group, the practicality is not complimentary. Not only is it too destructive to the surrounding terrain and furnishings, but it is also easy to accidentally injure friendly troops. However, if there is such a guy in the battle, it is really useful to rush into the enemy group and break up the formation and destroy the defense line.
The orbs around the Abyss Knight had dissipated due to the explosion, and now there was a lot less slime on his body, and it was slowly generating. Salander, who had been lying on the spot to avoid the explosion, hurriedly got up and dodged the sweep of the greatsword, and shouted at Beverly in surprise: "Ah, Miss Beverly!
...... That sounds so unpleasant. It feels like I should die honestly.
Beverly glared at him, dodging the heavy shield that the other party suddenly rushed over. The shield was covered in a disgusting cloud of slime, and from it a black, slippery abyssal claw stretched out. The shape of the devil's claw was like a tentacle with a claw.
Tut...... What a disgusting thing...... Beverly was disgusted: What kind of fuss was this? I didn't expect him to do the same. Seeing that he has been useless, I thought this guy would not make it.
The Abyssal Knights that Beverly had dealt with in the past would have used this trick for everyone. However, he had never seen the method of transferring the abyssal tentacles or using the charge to trigger the continuous explosion.
Of course, this is also normal. Each of the Abyss Knights that Beverly faced, the moves were very different. There are only a few abyssal magic that seem to be very basic that every knight seems to use, such as ......
The Abyssal Knight in front of him raised his shield and unleashed his claws to grab Beverly. However, she had already prepared, and directly possessed and rushed forward, controlling the wind balls that had been ambushed in advance to burst, forcing the devil's claws back into the shield. Seeing that the claws were not effective, the Abyss Knight slammed forward with a shield, forcing Beverly to retreat and release the slime on the shield, causing them to split in half from under their feet, and began to move towards Salander and Beverly who were trying to circumvent the trail, respectively.
"Dodge the moving slime on the ground!" Hurriedly reminding Salander, Beverly flashed three times in succession to dodge several charging slashes from the Abyss Knight's swift succession, manipulating the four wind blades that had been ambushed in advance, causing them to fly down one after another, smashing the three tentacles that suddenly protruded from the slime behind the Abyss Knight, while the fourth wind blade slashed firmly into the enemy's helmet, slightly stopping the enemy's assault.
It's not good, the enemy is too resistant...... Enchanted with the power of the wind, Beverly slid forward with a low slump, dodging directly under the enemy who suddenly jumped two meters high and fell from the ceiling to her original position, dodging the slime that sped right under her feet. At the same time, the slime triggered the grasping function, and several abyssal claws stretched out from it, naturally grabbing the air.
It can be seen that this tracking slime, which can release the claws of the abyss, is slightly delayed before triggering the grab. Just jump away or flash away, not as fast as a tentacle. But Beverly now feels that even if she tries to divert her tentacles to her feet again, she won't be tricked again.
Maybe there were signs before the tentacles came out. After all, the Abyssal Swamp needs to be shaped. It's just that no one will keep looking at the soles of their feet, and that's when they get a loophole.
It's only when fighting earth, ice, and wood mages that Beverly pays extra attention to the soles of her feet. This is because the enemy is likely to cast a spell that locks onto the caster's feet and casts the spell. These three elemental spells often have spells such as ground thorns, root entanglements, and fixed-point freezes, which should be paid attention to by experienced people.
They may cast some other spell to disrupt their vision. For example, it is very common to use ice fog to make you unable to see the surrounding environment, and when you have an opportunity, you can use ice spikes to penetrate you from the bottom up.
It hurts, and it's easy to die after being hit, and the amount of bleeding is quite large, and it is difficult to heal from the wound that penetrates the whole body. Don't ask Beverly why she knows.
To put it mildly, she was once pierced through her stomach and almost died. At that time, the combat skills were not very high, so it was gratifying that he almost died young.
The Abyss Knight's big jump slash slashed into the air, but before he could stand firm, he immediately spun around quickly, and swept with his giant sword at a rapid speed of 360 degrees, forcing Salander, who had outflanked and deliberately avoided the shadows of the track, to step back and give way. Instantly, the Abyss Knight slammed his greatsword and squatted slightly, and once again suddenly launched a charge towards Beverly, and spun his body violently as he approached her.
Sensing that the enemy is going to use a spinner slash that is very convenient for the greatsword to play its value (one of the weapon skills that is very suitable for the greatsword, to put it bluntly, it is a circle-shaped spinning slash, which can cover a damage area of 360 degrees, and can effectively force groups of enemies to retreat.) Of course, there are many difficulties and flaws, and it takes more practice), Beverly directly left a stagnant invisible wind signal in place, and then jumped back and drew a cross-shaped wind blade, flashing a few meters later.
The enemy's greatsword suddenly erupted with abyssal slime that fluctuated like a flame, and began to swing a sword wave of slime with a spiral blade that landed on one foot and moved its body sideways. The sword wave was connected to the blade, as if the top of the giant sword was suddenly connected to a thick soft knife, and the sword wave burst out in an arc towards the entire room.
As he unleashed several rounds of spinning slashes in a row, the sword wave also swung for several weeks. And both Beverly and Salander hurriedly lowered their bodies in unison, dodging all the sword waves.
Although the Abyssal Knight's move looks quite imposing, it ......
To be honest, it's stupid and mentally retarded. After all, something that can be perfectly dodged by just crouching down is not too powerful. Just as a thing that can be solved with money is not a problem at all, and a ghost that can be killed with a musket is not a ghost at all (Lucina, at best).
Of course, if you can't squat a rheumatic patient, talk about it separately. In addition, things that need to be solved with money often require a lot of money, and ordinary people cannot afford it.
That being said, that's a different story when dealing with hordes of enemies. A lot of magic that is stupid when it's heads-up is great for dealing with group fights. Therefore, when dealing with strong enemies, it is easy to see why only elite squads are deployed: to leave enough room for dodge and maneuver.
