Chapter 53: Intuition
The old killer didn't lie, his movements were indeed fast, and it was impossible for the naked eye to keep up with such a speed.
When you think your eyes catch him, he's already out of his place, so the eyes can be a hindrance in this case.
- Only intuition is the most reliable!
Just as the glittering dagger was about to kiss the young man's neck, the old man let out a soft sigh, and the next moment his figure disappeared like a puff of green smoke, and at the same time a huge crater seven feet deep appeared in the place where he had been standing before, as if a small meteorite had just fallen there.
The old killer gasped, where did this magic come from, why was the power so terrifying, obviously the guy on the other side was just using the staff casually, and the most important thing was how did he know that he would appear there? The old killer couldn't help but glance at the short knife in his hand.
"Your weapon is a magician. Rob also spoke at this time, "Can it be used to detect nearby magic fluctuations?"
The old killer didn't answer, but the attitude itself was an answer.
For a killer, doing your homework before each action is the most basic common sense, and the old killer has also studied the battle at Earl's Court, and knows that this time the target is not only a magician, but also a very powerful magician.
So he didn't show it as easily, it was just his disguise, just like his old age before.
No one likes to fight a mage, because the mage is the most complex and unpredictable of all classes, but if you can get a warning before the opponent makes a move, and with his agility, the old killer will be able to dodge most of the attacks.
The reason why he decided to take this order was inseparable from the unsightly short knife in his hand.
The short knife was different from ordinary weapons, it was not made of metal, it was very average in terms of hardness and sharpness, not to mention the swords he treasured himself, even the kitchen utensils in the butcher's hand were a few points stronger than this short knife, but when dealing with magicians, it was better than any knife in the entire Dawn Continent.
Unfortunately, this time it turned out to be a rare failure.
The old killer was able to dodge the terrifying blow before by relying on the instinct he had tempered between life and death, and it had nothing to do with the short knife in his hand, until now the short knife called Mage Doom in his hand was very quiet, and the green gem at the bottom had been dim, if it weren't for the deep pit in front of him, the old killer even suspected that the guy opposite had never made a move at all.
And what surprised him even more was the other party's behavior after forcing him away.
- The young magician didn't even open any defensive shield for himself in the first place, and still maintained his original posture.
No, no, a master of this level would not make such a low-level mistake, so there is only one possibility left.
The old killer narrowed his eyes, this guy must be a little too bold, right?
The reason why Rob didn't release any defensive magic was not because tonight was different from when he was in the Earl's Court, he was at ease with Dean, so he tried to control the number of shots he made to avoid being seen from it, and he didn't even release his defensive magic.
However, he felt a trace of pressure in the face of the old killer, the other party's skills were faster than rumored, purely from the attribute of speed, the old man in front of him may have few opponents in the melee profession, even those who are still famous Ninth Order masters may not be able to have this kind of speed, and a large part of the magician's magic needs to be locked in advance before it is released, and his strength will also be discounted in this situation that cannot be tracked by the naked eye.
Therefore, for safety reasons, Rob should indeed release a defensive magic for himself at this moment, and this is also a common combat method used by magicians, to distance himself from the opponent as much as possible while ensuring his own safety first, and use magic bombardment to solve the battle.
But not this time, Rob was able to accurately predict where the old killer would appear next because of his incredible battle instincts, in other words, his keen sense of danger.
And once he has built a defense system for himself, although he can make himself safe, but he will no longer be able to grasp the dynamics of the opponent, so the next battle will be equivalent to a stalemate, so the future super mage will not take any action.
The old killer was shocked by the courage of the guy opposite, there is no doubt that combat intuition is extremely important for every master, and it can often save a person's life at a critical moment, but intuition is only intuition after all, although it has the reputation of the sixth sense, but it still can't be compared with the real five senses, not every danger can be perceived in advance, so intuition can only be used as an auxiliary means in battle.
And if his guess was correct, the young man in front of him was going to use his combat instincts as a regular combat method under the premise that he couldn't keep up with his movements with the naked eye.
But this is too risky, isn't it?The old killer frowned, but his current situation was actually somewhat similar to the guy opposite, he didn't know what means the other party used, which caused the short knife in his hand to be unable to detect nearby magic fluctuations, and that guy's spellcasting chant time was terrifying, so he could only rely on intuition to avoid danger when fighting.
In this way, the battle becomes a contest of intuition.
As a killer, he has never liked anything to fight for luck, because luck always has a light day, but the old killer is also very confident in his fighting instincts, his instincts have been honed in countless life and death on the brink of life, and have become a part of the body.
And the guy on the other side is only in his early twenties at most, and his talent may be very strong, but things like combat experience that need to be accumulated slowly are not tricked, so it seems that if he continues to fight like this, he still has a great chance of winning.
After all, it is an order of 300,000 gold coins, which is a temptation that is difficult for any killer to refuse, and it is worth taking a little risk for it.
The old killer weighed it in his heart, and finally held the short knife in his hand again.
The blade pierced the night, and the old killer stepped on the dance steps of death to meet the young magician again, and this time Rob did not choose to stand still and passively wait, and decisively started the phase movement, and the figures of the two alternated in the street, accompanied by the crackling roar of magic.
And no one expected that when the two of them passed a drunken dwarf on the side of the road, a change suddenly happened!
