Chapter 117: The Millennial War (Part II)
The holy brilliance emitted by the three divine spells made the paladin, covered in silver-white armor, radiant and radiant, as if the gods had descended from the earth.
Constantine did not react at all, and the whole person stood in place like a static stake, and his expression could not be seen clearly through the mask, as if he was asleep.
He didn't move, but Roland's expression became more and more contemplative as he stood across from him, because in his perception, Constantine's breath became incomparably faint and invisible, appearing and disappearing in the hot sand, like a breeze in the afternoon, like an inconspicuous ray of stars in the faint morning light.
If magic is a must for every paladin, then learning how to hide one's aura is also the only way to become a good bounty hunter.
In the first ten years of his life, what Constantine practiced the most was not the swordsmanship that the middle-aged man in black taught him, but how to hide his murderous aura and maintain the best hiding state in various environments.
This is his most powerful ability as a bounty hunter.
In Roland's eyes, Constantine at this time was no less dangerous than Blaze, who had cast [Titan's Favor].
The audience suddenly let out an exclamation of surprise, because Constantine's figure actually approached Roland in the blink of an eye, and the latter did not react.
In front of you, people are in the sky, and behind a glance, the sword is in front of you.
The beautiful light that poured out from the crystal sword illuminated Roland's face, and the crystal medium flowing with unknown magic froze the paladin's leg armor and spread to the upper half of his body at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The paladin's hands quickly combined into a triangular handprint, and the divine power poured out, turning into golden flames and rolling around him, and the crystals on the armor melted like snow in the sun.
Divine --- [Mana Expulsion]
At the same time, the gorgeous patterns reproduced on the Mithril armor emitted a faint glow, protecting the paladins from the magical power of Dawn.
Constantine's second sword came faster, targeting Roland's shoulder, the tip of the crystal sword striking the paladin's left half of the shoulder armor without any smoke.
But at this moment, Roland had already completed the fifth divine technique.
The divine pattern woven by golden light appeared in front of Constantine, like a solid wall, firmly blocking the edge of [Dawn], not only that, but the golden light on the magic array shone on the sword of [Dawn], trying to suppress the magic power of the blade.
Divine --- [Mirror of Repentance]
Its function is to eliminate the effect of all magical objects that touch, and it is one of the few powerful magic techniques developed by the Church of Light that can effectively restrain alchemical weapons.
Before the decisive battle, Roland carefully studied the battle information provided by the military department about the bounty hunter [Morning Star], and unlike those who fought with Constantine in the past and died, Roland first focused on the [Dawn] in Constantine's hands.
In his eyes, the most direct and terrifying power of [Morning Star] came from the strange magic sword in his hand, as long as he could restrain this crystal sword, Constantine's threat would be greatly reduced.
I have to admit that sometimes, it's often the real opponent who knows you best.
The Mirror of Confession reflects a soft light, and the light shines on the crystal sword, drawing golden lines on the transparent blade, spreading towards the hilt, once the whole body is occupied by these golden patterns, no matter how powerful the magic weapon will turn into a piece of mortal iron.
Constantine's face did not change, although the magic of [Mirror of Repentance] was powerful, but Constantine knew very well that its effectiveness could not affect the legendary weapon at all.
Sure enough, the next moment, Roland's face changed, because he found that the strangeness of the attributes of [Dawn] exceeded his expectations, and the light of the crystal sword did not dim, and it flowed backwards to the magic array.
"Ka"
The Mirror of Confession is as torn apart as a real mirror.
Roland stepped back a little embarrassed, and although his reaction was fast enough, it was still a beat slower, and there was an extra sword mark on his breastplate.
Constantine was not the kind of person who would take it when he saw it, and would never let go once he caught a flaw.
The crystal sword launched a stormy attack.
A scene that made all the audience stunned appeared: Roland, who was a dignified powerhouse in the Holy Domain, was actually suppressed by the Morning Star all the time.
Constantine perfectly demonstrated the bounty hunter's mastery and concealment skills, attacking from the corner of Roland's field of vision, and then dodging so that his opponent had nowhere to focus.
His sword swing was too fast, and his figure was like an antelope hanging on its horns, without a trace, and it was erratic to the extreme.
The audience at the scene could only see the afterimages of the Dao Dao flying in the hot sand field, and from time to time a crystal light would light up, which was the sword light emitted by the [Morning Dawn].
The paladin, on the other hand, strode back, dodging, not daring to engage in a head-to-head confrontation at all, and seemed to be very jealous of the sword in Constantine's hand.
Constantine's sword was too fast, although it was not without flaws, but because it was too fast, the flaws were fleeting, and the opponent had no chance to take advantage of them.
Even a knight as good as Roland is helpless in the face of the truth that only speed does not break.
The most important point was that Roland's time to step into the Sanctuary was too short, and he simply couldn't digest the power of the Sanctuary in a short period of time.
As Euler said, his realm was not stable, resulting in him now only having a half-step Sanctuary level, and he couldn't use Sanctuary-level magic as much as he wanted.
And Constantine's fierce attack was precisely to prevent him from having the opportunity to use the power of the Sanctuary, thus firmly limiting his strength to the level of a high-ranking knight.
High-level knights and sanctuary knights are very different concepts.
The sword light shone on the red sand, and with the crisp clatter and fluttering sparks, several conspicuous notches had been cut into Roland's Mithril armor.
Ten minutes passed in a flash, and in these ten minutes, the Crystal Sword's attack completely overshadowed the paladin's figure, and oppressed Roland to retreat.
"It's ....... The man who had previously threatened that Constantine would never be able to hold up even a single round was dumbfounded.
"Old friend Morgan, your student doesn't seem to be in a good situation. Monte Cristo, who was surprised by this scene, said.
Morgan was calm, "Roland is not the kind of knight who will show all his strength at the beginning, and it is his strength that strikes later." ”
"Didn't you notice? He's fully adjusted to the rhythm of Morning Star's attacks now. ”
By the time he said this, Constantine had already faintly smelled a bit of unease.
It stands to reason that at this time in the past, Constantine should be able to easily force his opponent into a corner and complete the lore.
But this time, Constantine found that the potential of the opponent in front of him was even more terrifying than expected.
At the beginning, Roland did look quite embarrassed under his lightning attack, and even with the buff effect of [Blessing], he could only barely dodge the attack towards the vital part.
But now, the effects of the two buff spells had long since faded, and Roland coped with it much more calmly than at the beginning, his silver-white figure wandering on the edge of the arc of destruction outlined by the legendary crystal sword, without the slightest froze.
Clearly, Roland is also trying to harness the powerful magic in his body.
Constantine suddenly swept to Roland's right, who flashed to the left without hesitation.
However, at this moment, Constantine's figure flashed, and without pause, he completed a ninety-degree turn, and unexpectedly came behind Roland, his movements were swift and light, and he did not even raise a single hot sand on the ground.
"Shapeshifting Refraction!" Count Fastia on the judges' bench was stunned, and as a sword master who dabbled in many martial arts, he immediately recognized this terrifying skill that belonged to the assassins.
Switching angles in an instant during high-speed movement is considered to be an ultra-difficult operation that only the best bounty hunters on the continent can accomplish.
Even Count Fastia, who was a warrior of the Sanctuary Realm, had only seen one of the few times in his life, and today was the third time.
In the past, Constantine would only save this technique for the most powerful prey.
The most terrifying thing about [Shapeshifting Refraction] is that it is taken by surprise, once used, it means that the bounty hunter has decided to enter the net closing stage, and the first blow is fatal, not giving the prey any chance to fight back.
The crystal sword bloomed with unprecedented brilliance, and the hot sand on the surface quickly crystallized, turning into particles that were even more crystal clear than snow.
What is amazing is that the soles of the young man's feet did not make any sound, and the sword did not bring a trace of breaking wind, and stabbed straight into Roland's back like a ghost.
The sword is silent, and the snow is silent.
The audience present, especially those who have studied martial arts, couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.
Such a sword is really terrifying.
The crystal sword pierced through Roland's armor, and if nothing happened, the sword would pierce Roland's back.
But in the next second, the accident happened in everyone's eyes, in an unexpected way.
A violent explosion rang out, and the Mithril armor let out a heavy scream, then exploded violently, tearing apart into countless glittering shards and flying in all directions.
