Chapter Thirty-Eight: Abandoning the Shield
Lusa's vision, knowing very well that Ryan would definitely raise her shield to defend herself.
After all, unlike Canette, Ryan loves to raise a shield.
Everything is more willing to defend with a shield.
At this time, Ryan still stood up a little stiffly, and immediately attached a pure white light to the blade of the sword and slashed down, approaching Aya with a cutting light wave. But Rusha suddenly jumped to the side at an incredible speed, and in this way, she dodged the rapid sword wave that ordinary people would not have time to dodge, and turned around, and the scimitar continued to send out swirling blade attacks, smashing the parry that the witcher hurriedly made with his cane sword one after another. Seeing this, Ryan dragged his still somewhat stiff body and rushed in with a shiver.
It feels like a fight......
As she continues to fight against Lusa's Ronspiral Blade attack, Canette, who tries to interrupt her movements with a shockwave, suddenly discovers a new problem.
It simply doesn't work. As she stried, the blade curled up air around her, causing her to ignore the shockwave's shockwaves.
Of course, all of this is limited to the short period for which the Breaker Spinner Blade is activated.
At this time, Lusa, after several high-speed spinning attacks, at first glance, was about to carry out a rout attack, but the moment the spinning movement suddenly slowed down, and the scimitar in his hand glowed with ice-colored light, Canette vaguely felt bad, so he immediately jumped away.
The slowing motion was only for a moment. Immediately, a large area of cold air blades extending from the blade of the scimitar blade slashed out with the rapid slashing of the whirling slash, and Rhy, who rushed here to help, was almost smashed open of his shield again: it was very dangerous. The scope of this move is huge, and it will be finished if you don't pay attention and don't calculate the distance.
How come most of Lusha's magic attacks are ice attributes...... Canette couldn't help but think of Lucina: it felt more and more that the two Aia were surprisingly similar in some ways.
Confronting Lusa, Ryan was already very cautious at this point.
Obviously, there was the worry that I would be hit at any point – just like now.
Lutha slashed Carnet back three times in a row, then suddenly half-turned, and smashed her scimitar into Rey's shield with a vertical spinning blade, and immediately followed by a sudden flaming ice flame slash, smashing Rey's shield again.
As a last resort, Ryan had to barely resist Lusa's upward challenge with the blade of her sword, and then retreated again and again.
"Hey, how many times have your shields been smashed open in a while?" Canette was forced to retreat by the sudden rush of Lusa, feeling annoyed as she raised her sword to block.
The scimitar, a weapon that is not suitable for dealing with armor, is unexpectedly suitable for breaking shields when used well.
This could lead you to mistake Lusha for a lot of strength.
After all, the most important step in the scimitar's combat skills is to spin, and this is especially true of the Broken Blade. After a number of forms of spinner blades (which usually end up being converted into vertical whirls), the last blow is usually a downward slash or an upward pick - this last move has a strong shield-breaking effect.
But if you really fight against Lusa, or if you grab her, you can clearly feel that this Aya's strength is very average. That is, the level of an ordinary human girl who is twelve or thirteen years old.
But after all, with the blessing of werewolf blood, this level of strength is already very outstanding in the weak Ayari. Unfortunately, Lusha is unable to manipulate her blood energy to further strengthen herself in battle.
Because of the particularity of the blood, some of the Aya have the talent to manipulate blood energy - this is not blood magic in the usual sense, but Aya's racial talent to control the blood in his body. This will allow them to compensate for Aya's meagre strength in close combat.
Of course, as I mentioned, not all of Aya has the ability to control blood energy. The likes of Lucina and Lusa are completely useless, while Salander, Eno and April are proficient.
In short, even so, blood energy enhancement is only a temporary measure after all. What's more, after the reinforcement is completed, you may not have more strength than an adult human male. Therefore, all the moves and battle plans are still agile, and the parrying weapons and so on must be skillful to defuse the powerful impact brought by the opponent: this will make Aya, who is five times more painful, feel very painful.
However, none of this is a problem. Although her body is soft and weak, Aya's bones are extremely strong. Therefore, it is surprisingly able to withstand the impact of parrying.
For example, at this time, the witcher seized the opportunity to slash a sword that was directly supported by Lutha with a scimitar, and a high kick shook the cane sword, spun back, and the spinner blade shook Rey's shield, and then followed by two spins, and then picked up a rout.
Aya's agility and physical softness make their fights often look flashy and fast, allowing them to perform many difficult moves that a normal person would never even think of – and in addition to being extremely deadly.
For example, Rey's shield was once again shattered by the scimitar that shimmered silver in the red light and whistled in the wind. However, Ryan seemed to be prepared, and immediately repaired his fighting stance with the shield blast accompanied by a short-range shockwave, and successfully defended Lusha's next attack with the sound of the shield.
However, as soon as she tried to attack, she was shocked by Lusa's sudden jump back and rapid impact and launched a downward slash that forced her to continue defending. Canette also swung a sword in the air again because of this, and was forced to retreat by three consecutive vertical swivel blades, and at the moment when Lusha suddenly stepped back and turned around and slashed the fourth time to force Rhy's defense, he was unexpectedly attacked by Aya's last rout slash that suddenly turned around again: Originally, Ryan was subconsciously going to raise her shield to defend, but Rusa unexpectedly chose to change the target of the attack to attack Cannet, who was about to sneak attack.
This made the witcher break out in a cold sweat, after all, this offensive change was too fast, and he was almost hit.
If it's a straight sword, the attack here is definitely more effective than holding the sword with both hands on the sword. But the scimitar is not effective in doing that kind of movement - it is better to be one-handed and based on a whirlwind.
The scimitar's spinner slash usually doesn't have too much of a whirlwind - unlike the whirling slash of weapons like the Straight Sword and Scythe. After all, the scimitar has a curve, and many attacks can turn into a whirlwind that can be mixed with air currents if you pay a little attention to the wrist posture.
At this point, Rye seems to feel that using a shield against Lusha is too risky. So he abandoned his shield and instead held his sword in one hand, clenched his left fist, and was ready to parry the attack with his handguard.
Blocking attacks with gauntlets is, of course, riskier than shields. If you don't pay attention, you can easily get hurt.
But Rusha's ability to break the shield is too strong, and the significance of the natural shield is greatly reduced. In that case, it is better to use a lighter gauntlet - a reliable gauntlet that is no less capable of blocking attacks.
