Chapter Ninety-One: 'Storm Rift' Marcia
"Dark Pact, open it to me!"
After several attempts failed to break free from the shackles of the python and the blood soul algae, the fish-man nightcrawler, who did not dare to burst out with all his fighting spirit, finally couldn't help but use his special skills. www.biquge.info In an instant, a gloomy dark power poured out of the fish-man nightcrawler's body, turning all the blood soul algae around him into dead branches and leaves, which was even more miserable than being hit by the blighting technique.
And although Luo Sheng was on guard, he swallowed the prepared powerful shadow protection potion at the moment when the fish-man nightcrawler activated his skills, but he was still shocked by this powerful dark force, spitting blood from his mouth, and was almost half-disabled.
After all, the skill of Dark Contract is a dark power obtained by the Fishman Nightcrawler at the cost of his soul by signing a contract with a dark being under the command of the Fishman God. This dark force can not only destroy all the negative forces attached to the Fishman Nightcrawler, but also inflict massive shadow damage on the enemy, even more powerful than the Fishman Nightkin itself's golden-level fighting energy.
What's more, the Dark Pact is activated quickly, and its power does not fluctuate much, so it will not shake the Quartet like an outbreak of vindictive energy. And this is also the reason why the Fish-Man Nightcrawler chose to launch the Dark Pact instead of bursting out with all his fighting spirit to break free.
Not far away, on the battlefield, there is also an enemy that makes the Fishman Nightcrawler very fearful, and if he breaks out with a fighting spirit, I am afraid that he will immediately attract that enemy. The Fish-Man Nightkin had already paid a lot of price to get out of that enemy's hands, and if he brought the enemy in again, the Fish-Man Nightkin would have to worry about his own safety.
After breaking the restraints on his body, the fish-man nightcrawler just wanted to launch a surprise attack to kill Luo Sheng, but his mind was slightly dizzy. The skill of Dark Pact is so powerful, and naturally it has its limitations. Because it is the dark power obtained by the soul, the soul of the fish-man nightkin will also be damaged when using the dark contract.
Under normal circumstances, using a Dark Pact, a Fishman Nightkin Gold-level soul is fully capable of withstanding this kind of damage. But just now, in order to get rid of the powerful enemy, the fish-man nightkin has already used a dark contract. After using it for the second time in a short period of time, even the soul of the fish-man nightcrawler who was strengthened by the law was still a little unbearable, and there was an instant dizziness.
And it was this momentary vertigo that gave Luo a chance to live. Before the fish-man nightcrawler could fully recover, Rasen, who had regained his human form, finally seized the opportunity and ripped open the random teleportation scroll. The white light flashed, and Luo Sheng's figure disappeared into the dark lake.
But all this did not end, and before the fish-man nightcrawler could recover from the chagrin of Luo Sheng's escape, the rock formation above the dark lake suddenly cracked, and a cyan sword qi like a crescent moon broke through the rock formation from above, slashing at the fish-man nightcrawler below. Then, when the fish-man nightcrawler resisted with all his might, a sturdy female figure rushed into the dark lake from above, and the blue-gray sword in her hand slashed at the fish-man nightcrawler who had not had time to steal with a faint sound of wind and thunder.
"Storm Rift Marcia!" barely parried the attacking sword, and a hint of panic flashed in the fish-man nightcrawler's eyes as his body shook violently. The woman in front of her with blond hair and a shawl, like a goddess of war, was none other than Elson's strongest warrior, the Storm Swordsman at the peak of the Golden Rank, Marcia St. Rex, who had just easily defeated the Fish-Man Nightcrawler in the fleet and forced him back.
After discovering that the fleet was in charge of such a supermaster that he could not match, and that the caster team did not launch a second round of magic attacks as planned, the fish-man nightkin realized that the operation could not be successful, so he used the two special abilities of Dark Contract and Shadow Cover to escape from Marcia's grasp.
Originally, the fish-man nightcrawler thought that the other fish-men were still fighting and could delay Marcia for a while, and the terrain of the underwater dark lake was complicated, which was very unfavorable to human combat, and the other party might not chase after him, so he chose to attack Luo Xian. But I didn't expect that Luo Sheng, who wanted to solve it in three or two times, was unexpectedly tricky and delayed for a lot of time. And Marcia's response was also extremely fast and rough, directly cutting through the land and rock formations above the dark lake, killing from above.
Summoning up enough strength to resist Marcia's three swords in a row, the fish-man nightcrawler's hands trembled slightly, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of trepidation in his heart. Although they are both Gold Rank, compared to Marcia, Elson's strongest female warrior, the Fish-Man Nightcrawler's ability to fight head-on is much worse. If the first sneak attack is successful, it can weaken some of the opponent's attributes and improve its agility, and the fish-man nightcrawler may still have a three-point chance of winning, but now in this head-on confrontation, the fishman nightcrawler has no ability to hurt the opponent at all, cannot activate energy absorption, and has no chance to turn the game around.
And because the rock layer above the dark lake was broken, a large amount of rocky soil fell into the dark lake, and the sunlight penetrated. The dark environment that could have boosted the combat power of some of the Fish-Man Nightcrawlers is also gone. So if you continue to fight, the Fish-Man Nightcrawler will only have one way to die.
Although he knew his situation in his heart, the current situation was not something that could be escaped if he wanted to. In addition to being proficient in the various skills of the swordsman class, the Storm Swordsman class also integrates the power of wind and thunder into the fighting spirit, and when attacking, it comes with the power of wind and thunder.
The power of the lightning system will cause the enemy to be struck by lightning, constantly generating a paralyzing feeling and slowing down the reaction speed. In addition to greatly increasing the attack speed of the Storm Swordsman, the power of the wind system also incidentally attacks the surrounding space, creating a small area of effect attack.
Therefore, if you use the general vanishing skill in front of the Storm Swordsman, not to mention whether you can avoid the sword that is as fast as the wind, even if you succeed in sneaking, you will be directly swept out by the wind power, and there will be no effect at all. If the Fishman Nightcrawler wants to escape, he must use his powerful escape skill, Shadow, to cover himself.
Shadow Cover, like the Dark Contract, is also a powerful ability that the Fish-Man Nightcrawler acquires through the Soul Contract. Unlike the stealth and disappearance of ordinary thieves, once the Fishman Nightcrawler activates the Shadow Cover, not only can it immediately enter the stealth state, but also will be enveloped by a more powerful shadow power, which can ignore the enemy's attacks for a short time, and will not be caught by most detection methods. Whether it is used for assassination or escape, it can be called a 'magic skill', and the fish-man nightcrawler relied on this skill to successfully get out when he assassinated the silver-tier ranger Eden and was sniped by Marcia.
But what makes the Fish-Man Nightcrawler more hesitant is that, like the Dark Contract, shadow shadowing can also hurt his own soul. It's not as obvious as the Dark Pact, but it's not to be overlooked. Especially if you have just used the Dark Contract again and have vertigo, the risk of using Shadow to cover your body is a bit greater.
However, Marcia's continuous, increasingly violent attacks quickly dispelled the hesitation of the Fish-Man Nightcrawler. With the continuous blessing of wind power, the attack speed of Storm Swordsman will become faster and faster, and the accumulation of lightning power will make the attack more and more difficult to resist. In particular, the longsword in Marcia's hand is a fourth-order magic weapon 'Storm Rift' tailored to the Storm Swordsman profession, which can continuously accumulate the power of wind and thunder in battle. Once the Storm Rift is built, it can unleash a blow that goes beyond the Golden Tier.
After using several methods in a row, all of which were easily defused by Marcia, sensing the growing power in the storm rift, the fish-man nightcrawler gritted his teeth and forcibly activated the shadow cover. If you delay any longer, there is only a dead end, and it is better to fight in advance while the situation has not collapsed.
The moment the skill was activated, a tingling pain came from the soul of the fish-man nightcrawler, and his movements inevitably stiffened slightly. Marcia seized the opportunity and stabbed the Storm Rift into his left shoulder. However, to the good fortune of the Fish-Man Nightcrawler, he did not wait for Marcia to burst out of power, and the powerful shadow power had already covered his whole body, blocking Marcia's follow-up attack.
Glancing at Marcia, who was defending by the sword and surrounded by golden fighting energy and cyan wind power, the fish-man nightcrawler gave up his plan to sneak attack and ran towards the dark hole with all his might. Although the effect of shadow concealment is very rebellious, it does not last long, only five seconds. After this time limit, the powerful Shadow Force will recede, and although the Fishman Nightcrawler is still in a stealth state, it can be attacked and detected.
With Marcia's strength, in the case of full defense, not to mention five seconds, it is one minute, and the fish-man nightcrawler is not sure of taking the opponent, so he can only choose to flee directly.
But what the fish-man nightcrawler didn't expect was that he had just entered the dark hole, and Marcia actually followed. The distance between the two sides has not really widened. Obviously, Marcia judged the direction of her escape in advance, and she didn't give up, wanting to see if she could leave herself.
"Arrogant!" Although he couldn't speak, looking at Marcia behind him who was draining the river with a fighting spirit, a trace of murderous intent flashed in the fish-man nightcrawler's heart. The low water level in the dark lake, and the rocks and clods falling from above, are basically equivalent to fighting on land, and Marcia is basically unrestricted. But in this underwater tunnel, the situation is very different. If he returns to fight again, the Fish-Man Nightcrawler will definitely not be as aggrieved as before.
However, after considering Marcia's strong combat power, the Fish-Man Nightcrawler still gave up the idea of returning to fight again. Although underwater, Marcia's combat power will be somewhat limited, but it will not be able to take it in a short time. Moreover, the dark river is not in the sea after all, and the other party can change the terrain at any time with the help of the power of the golden level, which is not a solid advantage. Therefore, it is more practical to enter the Xile River first and escape back to the North Sea.
Just as the fish-man nightcrawler was thinking about how to deal with the doubts within the clan after escaping back, he suddenly studied, as if he had hit a transparent wall in the water, and then a little elven fire appeared on his body, illuminating his body, which had lost the protection of the powerful shadow power.
"The wall of flowing water, the fire of the elves, it's the druid!"
By the time the Fish-Man Nightcrawler realized what had happened to him, the Storm Rift full of power had already slashed over, and the blue-gold sword aura instantly broke through his defenses, slashing him in two.
