64. Escape
64. Escape
In the whole of Coronia, there is probably only one woman of such a tall stature. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info that is the new legendary powerhouse belonging to the Coron royal family, the countess of Hohu, the hunter of the tundra, and the powerful female warrior with blue hair and blue eyes, Valentina.
Facing such a legendary warrior, Dardo felt like the top of the cave had collapsed, and a ton of stone pressed against his chest. He tried to take a few deep breaths to stop his teeth from fighting, but only to bite down on his tongue so hard that Dardo felt a sharp pain in his tongue, and then a stream of salty liquid flowed into his throat.
But the pain also freed Dardo from his immobile position. Timid and cunning, his eyes rolled wildly at this moment, intending to find a way to escape.
Going head-to-head with a legendary warrior, even if Dardo is a high-level spellcaster, has no chance of winning. In addition to buff spells, any spell, if it acts on a legendary powerhouse, and the caster is not a legendary powerhouse, and cannot cancel out the opponent's domain, then the spell is likely to not be able to penetrate the opponent's domain defense at all, even if it is lucky to penetrate the past, there is a high probability that it will not be able to produce an effect on the opponent, and even if it is lucky enough to produce an effect, the effect will be offset by the strong resistance of the legendary powerhouse, often no effect or the lowest effect of this spell.
It's totally a bare-handed toddler trying to hit a heavily armed adult head-on. But in the face of adults, if young children give full play to their advantages, it is not without a chance to successfully escape.
At this time, Dardo could only secretly rejoice that the female warrior opposite was proud like a cat facing a mouse in front of her paws, and did not attack herself as soon as she came up, but stood ten meters away from him, choosing to tease her prey for a while. It gave him time to think about how to get out.
In Dardo's infrared vision, the female warrior opposite showed a bright red color. In her arms and legs, where her muscles are more concentrated, they are even more orange-red. This color represents the heat emitted by the arms and legs of the female warrior more than anywhere else. In other words, the seemingly casual female warrior was actually ready to attack a long time ago. This discovery only made Dardo feel that his hope of escape was greater. This shows that although the legendary female warrior did not attack him immediately, the opponent did not see him as an opponent who was unable to resist. With the help of this psychology of the legendary female warrior, Dardo finally thought of a way to escape.
Dardo's way of escaping was to rely on a spell that was blessed with him. Fearing that he would directly enter an environment that was unsuitable for human life and activities when he broke away from another dimension, Dardo cast a series of environmental adaptation spells on himself. Most of these spells have a relatively long duration of action, and the Rock and Soil Crossing spell seems to be the most helpful for the current situation.
Dardo intends to rely on the method of burrowing directly into the rocky ground beneath his feet to avoid the terrifying female warrior in front of him. In his opinion, as long as he can enter the underground, then no matter how powerful the female warrior on the other side is, it is impossible to lift up the entire cave ground to find him. The only problem now is that drilling into the ground requires a noticeable force action. He was worried that he would be attacked before he could finish this move, which was not difficult for a legendary-level warrior at all.
"You have to find a way to distract your opponent as soon as possible. Dardo said to himself in his heart. The other party didn't know that he had a rock and soil crossing spell on his body, and this was the only chance. And if it drags on, whether it is waiting until the opponent is impatient to attack directly, or the time limit of the Rock and Soil Crossing Spell is over, he will no longer have the possibility of getting out.
Dardo, who had thought about all of this, touched the inconspicuous black wooden ring on his left index finger with some distress. The surface of the ring is swarthy, with no signs of carving or any gemstones. It's just that the surface of the entire ring is covered with a layer of oil, and you can think of how much its owner loves it in ordinary times, and often holds it in his hand and strokes it.
It was the most valuable magical item on Daldor's body, and was discovered when he and the Green Cross cult were exploring an underground ruin. It was a failed exploration. At that time, there were fifty cultists who set out to explore the ruins, but only seven survived in the middle of the ruins. They didn't even reach the center of the ruins before they encountered a large army of undead led by a giant stitched corpse. The entire ranks of the cultists were shattered by the undead troops. They had no idea that they would encounter the undead there. You must know that Coronia is a plane with a lot of positive energy. The undead will be greatly suppressed and repelled here. Therefore, there are few people in the whole of Coronia who have seen the real undead, let alone have the experience and equipment to fight against the undead.
This expedition was a complete and painful failure for the Green Cross cult, but it was a rewarding thrilling journey for the seven cultists who came out alive. Every cultist who escaped from the ruins picked up at least two high-level magic items. Dardo even received five magic items. He turned over four of the more common ones to the Green Cross Cult as a contribution, leaving only the most valuable one, a very rare magic ring.
Rotten Bone, a quasi-legendary piece of equipment. After each charge, a level 18 Skeleton Golem named Handak can be summoned to fight for the owner of the ring for an hour. The skeleton golem is four meters high, five meters long, and weighs 1,500 kilograms. Its main weapons are two massive three-meter-long bony scythes with forelimbs. Tempered by necromantic magic, a skeleton normal sword is extremely difficult to deal damage and is inherently resistant to 50% slash and piercing damage, making it an ideal tool against warriors who don't use heavy attack weapons. What made Dardo feel that the Skeleton Golem would definitely be able to drag down the legendary warrior on the opposite side was that the Skeleton Golem was born with an incomplete death domain, and it had great resistance to the domain suppression of the legendary powerhouse.
Such a powerful summon is certainly not without a price to use. The Ring of Rotten Bones consumes 5,000 tokens worth of Mana Crystals per charge, and can only be used once. If this cost is used too many times, even Dardo, a high-ranking cultist of the Green Cross Cult, will feel a little unbearable. This time, in the face of the great battle with the ground forces, Dardo had already prepared the next batch of magic crystals to be used to charge the skeleton golem. But as soon as he stepped onto the battlefield, he was forced to use an extradimensional journey to escape before he even had time to summon the Skeleton Golem. However, under the power of a landslide, even if he summoned a skeleton golem, at most he would let Master Gad's Golem sweep pick up some more broken bones.
Now, having saved a Skeleton Golem use, Dardo is about to summon it and plunge into a battle with no hope of winning, just to buy him a split second to escape for his life. No matter how optimistic Dardo is, he doesn't think that the Skeleton Golem can defeat a female warrior of the legendary level. The end result can only be that the skeleton golem is dismantled. In this way, five thousand tokens worth of magic crystals are equivalent to the consumption of no gain. This made Daldo, who has always been a budget-conscious, feel a burst of heartache.
Valentina smiled and stared at the cultist opposite. Judging by the style of the robe, it was a high-ranking cultist of the Green Cross. Such an opponent is an extremely dangerous presence for ordinary soldiers. Because the elite of these cultists always have all kinds of strange skills and strange equipment scavenged from underground ruins. But for her. An opponent of this magnitude is not even worth her wariness. With just one strong attack, she can shatter the opponent's fragile body and make the opponent everywhere. But Valentina was reluctant to do so. The loneliness of walking alone along the way made her want to have some fun with this Green Cross cultist.
After using the Sky Breaker to smash the portal summoned by the cultist on the opposite side, it was obvious that the other party recognized him. There is no wonder about this. His own characteristics are so obvious that anyone who has heard of them should recognize them at the first time. But the look on his face was funny. Panic is shown, then fear. Then his eyes rolled wildly, as if he was thinking of something. Valentina also noticed that the other party had bitten her tongue, which was simply impossible for a mage who had to recite awkward spells on a regular basis, which showed how panicked the other party was.
Valentina had neither armor nor a sword, just smiling and groaning as she waited for the cultist in front of her to make the first move. She plans to attack the cultist after they start to run away, capture the other party, tease the other party, and make the other party feel the deepest despair. Only in this way can he be worthy of the identity of a high-level cultist of the Green Cross!
But then, a heart-wrenching look appeared on the cultist's face, and he quietly fiddled with an inconspicuous ring on his hand. These subtle changes in expression and small movements could not hide Valentina's multiple ways of observation, but they only made her feel more interesting - did this cultist have any tricks that would allow him to escape from under his nose?
Valentina felt that she could try to force the other party. She took a slow step forward. Under the effect of the long legs of 1.52 meters, the distance between him and the cultists was shortened.
Although the cultist is also in her best attack range without taking this step, after taking a step, her amazing height can bring a greater sense of oppression to the opposite side. Sure enough, after she took this step, the high-ranking cultist of the Green Cross Cult immediately reacted violently.
"Handak fights for me!" Seeing the terrifying female legendary warrior closing in on him, Dardo knew it was time for the last stand. He shouted, and immediately activated the Rotten Bone Ring in his hand. With a puff of smoke and the sound of rattling bones and joints, a huge skeleton golem with dark green soul fire burning in the hollow eye socket appeared between Dardo and Valentina, and immediately raised a scythe-like forelimb with a brown sheen, and slashed at Valentina with a terrifying roar.
And at the moment when Valentina was blocked by the skeleton golem and attracted Li's attention, Dardo stooped down and plunged headlong into the rocky ground, disappearing into the rock in an instant.
