Chapter 245: The Limits of Flesh and Blood

"Great!Sister Logia~!" The little fox threw herself into the arms of her sister of the same clan in three steps and two steps, her reddish-brown but black pointed tail was constantly shaking excitedly, "How can Mr. snatch you back so quickly!?"

Not only the innocent Nanali, but also the **** Na, who finally put her mind at ease, was also curious about how the half-elf did it, and as for Larry and his nephew who stared at Andre with big shining eyes without blinking, it was also incredible that such a particularly conspicuous alien race as the Son of the Abyss could bring back the "property" belonging to others from others full of humans intact in half a meal.

"Sir only used one punch to defeat all those humans with sharp blades!" Lokia, the quietest and introverted of the three orc girls, was as red as the sweetest apple in autumn, and the scene that was in the center of people's attention but no one dared to stand up to stop it left a deep impression on her slender and sensitive girl's heart.

Even among those fearless orc warriors, there was probably only one warrior in ten thousand who could walk among the many hostile aliens like the husband beside her, and be completely unmoved!

If Logia had known that Andre had been constantly guarding the humans around her along the way, then she might not have been so excited...... Fortunately, the chaos that had begun to ferment in the town left people with no time to care, and for most intelligent people, the value of a slave was naturally no more important than their own lives.

The news that the Children of the Abyss had spoken out before they left was a catalyst that allowed the chaos to intensify in a short period of time.

"It just took ...... One punch!?" Fat Larry's eyes widened in disbelief, he was more willing to believe that the people did not stop him because the unwavering faith of this Mr. Mephistopheles had caused a remarkable miracle!...... a punch!?Wasn't he a druid!?Maybe he had learned some bard playing skills out of interest, but he didn't look like a warrior with great power! Even in those myths and legends that are so bizarre that there are not many people who can take down an enemy with a single punch, right!?

"Ah...... One shot into the soul~" Andre looked up at the sky, and the girls' irrepressible surprised expressions made him feel a little embarrassed.

"Yes, it only took one punch! And then that fall would have been unnecessary if it hadn't been for those humans who didn't know whether they were alive or dead!" Because what he said was so shocking that everyone had an expression of disbelief, Logia took it very seriously to share her legendary experience with her companions, "Sir left such a deep fist mark on the enemy's shield with just one punch!!"

Logia used her fingers to compare the depth of two fingers, but the next words made people wonder if her mind was clear, "It's the kind of iron shield that every warrior in the tribe wants to have, probably this thick......"

Larry was naturally able to determine what kind of shield it was through the Kitsune Maiden's description, in fact, this kind of curved round shield that could only completely cover the chest was a very practical but difficult to master common armor. Beginners will often be injured in the arm or even the chest and abdomen by the deflected blade after the shield blocks the enemy's attack, and although the attack weakened by the round shield is usually not fatal, the experienced warrior knows that the curved round shield is actually more suitable for "active defense" than passive defense - that is, to shoot the enemy's incoming attack aside, away from the direction of one's body, or even as a blunt weapon to launch an active attack.

However, these shields, which are not known for their defensive area, are usually very strong and flexible, and even if they are struck head-on by a steel axe, they will be difficult to break because the shield's arms, torso, and steps are cushioned.

The middle-aged lord who had never seen the Son of the Abyss "dismantle the wooden cage with his bare hands" naturally couldn't imagine that the half-elf in front of him even seriously studied natural spells The original purpose was just to be able to hit this punch that mortals couldn't understand.

"Sir, sir, your hand is bleeding!" said Nanali, who was looking around AndrΓ© curiously.

However, the Child of the Abyss himself rubbed the little fox's head with some disapproval, "It's okay, the wound has healed early in the morning." ”

"Really!?" The orc girl suspiciously wiped the blood on Andrei's hand that had not yet scabbed, and after a long search, she found that her husband's delicate woman-like hand only had two inconspicuous marks on the joints, which were as shallow as insignificant small scars left when he was young.

The power that flesh and blood can unleash is not, as many people think, a simple question that can be explained by a simple number.

Ants can easily lift objects dozens of times their own weight, and grasshoppers can jump dozens of times their body length at a time. If you look at it this way, the limits of human strength simply cannot be compared with these tiny insects, and the evolution from arthropods to vertebrates is simply like a kind of "degradation" in terms of primitive power.

But in reality, the real truth is completely opposite to what people think.

A bicycle weighing about 10 kilograms can easily carry more than six times the weight of people, but the weight of the cargo usually found in large mining areas is only about twice the weight of the cargo, and the frame life of the latter is not comparable to the former. The differences between these two examples cover many areas such as mechanics, materials, power, manufacturing costs, etc., but a simple summary leads to a more intuitive and general conclusion - the heavier the object itself, the more demanding it is required to be strong.

Yellow mud and wheat straw can be used to build a sturdy single-storey house, but a skyscraper several hundred meters high requires a lot of tough steel for laymen. The shackles that limit the limits of human strength are not just the strength of the musculature itself, but the strength of the body composed of bones and muscles is the firm shackles that are difficult to break through.

Why can't a human being break an iron rod of the same thickness as his arm with his bare hands? Because human arms are nowhere near as hard as steel, and even if there is a way to exert enough force on both hands without the help of other tools, it is likely that only the arm will be broken first. The instinct of self-preservation allows all life to use only the power that does not hurt itself under normal circumstances. Using a fist to smash a two-finger-thick iron shield, according to common sense, it is naturally a fist that suffers, but the dragon strike technique is not a spell that simply relies on magic to amplify its own power.

Like the buffs that Druids and Ranger often use to enhance themselves across the board, Dragon Strike's enhancement of the human body is also multifaceted and balanced, but it is more intense and short-lived. Strength and physique are two attributes that are completely independent of each other, if the strength of the dragon's limbs and wings cannot withstand its weight of up to dozens of tons, then it is difficult to exert its extraordinary strength, and excessive force such as jumping and flying will only make them hurt themselves.

The principle of dragon strike is actually not much more complicated, and the "bloom" of magic power makes the human body become extremely tough in a short period of time, and burst out with great power. When the physique, the physical strength, is strong enough to withstand this force, the improvement of agility becomes a matter of course.

When the mass remains the same, the increase of "force" means the increase of acceleration, and the increase of acceleration means a qualitative leap in speed. Take sprinting and swimming as examples, each minute faster their speed needs to withstand more resistance, and the improvement of strength and physique creates the most fundamental conditions for resisting resistance. In the end, mass and velocity are converted into an even more powerful destructive force – impulse. However, the role of force is mutual, and strong reaction forces require a stronger body to resolve and bear.

Dragon Strike is such a wonderful "skill" that plays a significant role in "strength", "constitution", and "agility", so that the Star Feather Dragon, who is proficient in this way, can easily break a cedar tree that is tougher than a bone with a mortal-sized body.

Although, even with the support of magic, it is not so easy for the children of the abyss to fight against steel with flesh and blood, but the life magic that can be used as the origin of dragon strike can also be used to repair the damage of the body.

So the nervous little fox only found some small and hard-to-find scars on the fists of the children of the abyss, which looked different from his imagination, and this was due to Andre's lack of mastery of dragon striking and his own strength.

With the exception of Larry and his lord's nephew, the three orc girls had seen the incredible grip of the Children of the Abyss, so it was surprising but not uncommon to punch the Iron Shield or something.

"And then all the humans were all scared stupid, didn't they!?" After making sure that the "Divine Envoy" was still well, Nanari waved her little fist excitedly, as if it was actually her who was a powerful warrior who repelled many strong enemies with one punch.

"Yes, no one has even dared to stop us along the way!" Logia's face was still flushed with excitement.

The wolf girl looked at her two companions with glowing eyes, and reaffirmed that the person she had entrusted seemed to be more powerful and reliable than she had expected, but the questions that followed lingered in her mind as if they had taken root.

- How did such a powerful creature get captured by humans? Could it be that his appearance is the same as his own? It was a plan that had been carefully arranged in the morning!?

With such a complicated feeling, **** Na bowed her head slightly and greeted Andre: "Thank you for your help, Mr. Mephistopheles, even in this vast wilderness, you are a powerful warrior beyond reproach. ”

However, the wolf girl's sincere thanks to the thanked person did not take it to heart, and the son of the abyss looked at **** Na with a smile and reminded: "Flattering or the like should be left after the matter is over, should we discuss some more important topics now?"

"Why the hell did the orcs attack this town?" Andre stared at the orc girl, his dark gray and dark green eyes seemed to be able to read through people's hearts.
