Chapter 51: One-on-One
Looking at the half-elves and the nightblade leopard in the middle of the crowd, Andrei suddenly remembered the gladiatorial arena that had been lost in the tide of history. The scene in front of me looks somewhat similar to that, except that the gloomy night and whispering viewers are a little different from the cruel and enthusiastic atmosphere in the impression.
Regardless of the half-elves and druid masters, the Children of the Abyss always felt that it was very inappropriate to do so. Just catch this big cat and starve it for two days like a swamp bird, Andrei doesn't believe that this guy is not honest!
Although with the size of this beast, it seems a bit difficult to limit its freedom of movement......
Not only had the elven rangers unguarded, but even the dwarves seemed to have remembered something, and they hung their shields and axes behind their backs, leaving only the leaders under Andrei's command to look at their highness innocently with spears in hand.
It was almost impossible for a few of them alone to stop this thunderous beast, and although they didn't understand what was going on, the Children of the Abyss could only signal his men to let down their guard and watch with the dwarves and elves at the fierce confrontation between the half-elves and the nightblade leopard, and the size difference between the two would erupt.
Alex moved quickly around the big black cat with a light step, and the huge beast quickly adjusted its orientation, as if unwilling to give the half-elf, who was much more slender than him, a chance.
Occasionally, the Half-Elves will suddenly change direction or feign a surprise attack. And in the midst of this confrontation between reaction and psychology, the Nightblade Leopard seems to have entered the rhythm of its opponent, and the black beast that should have had the upper hand in Andrei's opinion has fallen into passivity.
Maybe it's because it used up a lot of stamina in previous battles?
Just when the Children of the Abyss guessed that the big cat would not be able to resist the first move, the black beast attacked as André expected! The swift movement seemed to make its body lose its weight, and the big cat pounced on Alex, who was very thin compared to it, with an acceleration that made people feel that it defied the laws of physics.
The half-elf dodged the beast's fatal blow with a skillful roll, while the big cat that swooped in the air seemed to be unable to stop the car, and its huge body stumbled and almost hit the dwarven warrior who was the onlooker.
It hadn't done its best before!Andre had discovered a fact that had surprised him, and that the forbearance beast had retained its strength because it had not been able to fully grasp this level of acceleration and pause on its own. In the case of being besieged by everyone, such a flaw is enough to kill. But in a one-on-one situation, as long as its opponent has to dodge with all his might, then the half-elf after dodging in embarrassment also needs to adjust its stance. In other words, this big cat saw that Alex couldn't catch its flaws, so he dared to fight to the death with all his might!
Andre almost wiped a cold sweat for Alex, who seemed to him to have just escaped the beast's deadly culling by a fraction of a second. It's just that the ranger himself has a somewhat cynical smile on his face, as if the moment of life and death like the one just now is just a trivial matter that he is used to.
Looking at Marcellian beside him, the Druid Elder also had a calm expression.
At this time, the children of the abyss seemed to understand that although these elves admired nature and loved life, they who had mastered the magic of life were not inferior to those seemingly rough and hot-blooded warriors when they needed to fight hard. Perhaps this life-and-death struggle is really nothing to a worthy warrior. But Andrei, who was a bystander, already had goosebumps all coming out.
While Andre was still thinking nonsense, the Nightblade Leopard, who had already adjusted his state, launched another surprise attack!
This time, Alex almost rubbed his clothes and staggered with the huge black shadow, and the cunning big cat seemed to firmly take the initiative with its rapid speed and the strange power that the elves could not resist.
André felt that the human beast was smiling, and the corners of its mouth were grinned, revealing Bai Sensen's intertwined tooth sockets, as if it had won the battle.
This time the big cat didn't take that long to adjust, and after just one breath, it pounced on the half-elf again. Trying to make Alex show his flaws due to continuous high-intensity movements without respite and lack of recovery without respite.
But this time the ranger didn't get what he wanted, and the half-elf rolled directly below the big cat's pounced figure at an unbelievable angle. His head almost went straight under the paws of the big cat's vacated feet! Such a risky dodge route saw Andre's pores dilated as a spectator, and he broke out in a cold sweat.
After landing, the beast showed a bigger flaw than the previous two times, its front paws did not stand firm, and it almost turned over due to inertia.
"Hoooh!" the Nightblade Leopard let out an angry roar as he had just stood still, but Alex still had the faint smile on his face. The big cat's black paws curled up unnaturally.
The beast was wounded again! The Half-Elf Ranger had scratched the soles of its feet as it rolled underneath it, where it had been wounded by its spear when it first tried to break out!
Perhaps thinking that it was just a coincidence, the big black cat launched another surprise attack in the midst of a roar. And this time Alex didn't even use the roll, the half-elf just spun around and brushed himself past the beast in mid-air, leaving a bloody wound on the big cat's shoulder!
If you can't see it at this time, then Andrei can also be called a combat idiot. Alex's speed was simply at ease against this beast, and he hid even more strength than the big cat had previously retained. The dwarves relied on the strength of their tough flesh and steel armor to completely resist against the half-elves, because the angry cat couldn't even touch the corners of his clothes, as if dancing on the blade of the battle, the experienced ranger was far more sophisticated than the beast!
......
His reflexes and combat experience make Alex as comfortable as a dashing matador when dealing with the big cat. It's just that the big cat, which was already scarred on its body, still hasn't given up at this moment, although its panting sound has long since become like Andrarui's newly made bellows. With its powers, it is still a mortal threat to Alex, and the big cat knows that he can't catch the half-elf who is as slippery as a mouse, and even tries to make the ranger reveal a fatal flaw through fatigue confrontation.
“...... It's strange, it's already like this, why don't you give up yet?" commented Marcerien frowning.
"It's not unconvincing!" André replied to him in the words of the druid.
The Druid Elder gave the Children of the Abyss a strange look, as if he felt that what he said did make sense. Perhaps this beast's persistence is so simple and strong.
"Then what do you think can be done to convince it, Your Highness?" asked the Druid Elder modestly.
"Of course, we have to defeat it in the most powerful place!" Aren't the hot-blooded teenagers in the middle two stories all acting like this?
"What do you mean?"
"In terms of speed, it is completely inferior to Alex, but it also has the power to be proud of, which is the reason why it is unwilling to give up, its opponent is completely unable to match it in terms of strength, this is the 'dignity' of the strong!"
"Power...... Doesn't that seem like a bit too forced?" "Even in the face of the nightblade leopard, which has become exhausted, Marserien still doesn't think the Half-Elf Ranger has the ability to compete with it head-on in strength.
"Alex! Cast a shadow spell on it!Weaken it!, then punch it!" the Children of the Abyss excitedly flailed their fists at the Half-Elf Ranger. The situation seems to be out of suspense, the strength of the half-elf has allowed him to see a wonderful duel between speeds, and Andre, who has entered a state of excitement at this moment, instinctively thinks that being able to confront this ferocious beast head-on in a fist-to-flesh way is the real romance of men!
Although for this it is necessary to use some harmless means...... Isn't shadow spelling also a half-elf's own ability?
Even though the big cat had some spell resistance due to its sheer size and affinity for the magic of the shadows, Andre felt that it would definitely work if he kept casting weak spells on it, and that would be the last straw that overwhelmed it. Let it become powerless to resist and become a loser at the mercy of others.
The half-elf who heard Andre's cry tilted his handsome face in thought, and then the dark magic began to coalesce between his hands......
