Chapter 34: A Legacy from Predecessors

After a round of attacks, the girls took advantage of the opportunity that the swamp lurkers couldn't stand up because of the smoothness of the ground, followed by several rounds of continuous attacks, however, although the results achieved seemed good, but in fact did not bring much damage to the two swamp lurkers, the large and small wounds on the lurkers' bodies were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye, even if there were tentacles broken, it didn't have much effect, a few broken tentacles fell on the desert gravel, just twitched and twisted a few times, and then they didn't move, and the lurkers didn't even turn their attention to the stump on the ground for even a secondAfter all, each lurker has hundreds of tentacles on their bodies, and breaking one or two is not a problem at all. 【】

However, the girls didn't plan to bring much damage to the lurkers, Pannis's words were very clear before leaving, their task was just to delay time, as long as they dragged the lurkers, it was the victory of the normal battle, the girls only planned to complete the task according to the established plan, and did not have the will to face the swamp lurkers head-on, they were just confident, by no means arrogant, and did not think that with the strength of five legends, they could face off against the two demigod monsters head-on. Therefore, although the girls have not discussed the plan, the ultimate goal of their every move is only to delay, and all their efforts are to destroy the ability of the lurkers to act, leaving them in place. The swamp lurkers were also very cooperative, and the anger of the provocation made them almost lose their minds, and they were left behind together, and for nearly five minutes they did not get even a meter closer to the direction in which their companions had disappeared, and not only that, but even took the initiative to distance themselves from their companions even further.

It doesn't make sense for the girls to know why Pennis is pulling the distance, but the trust in their comrades and family makes them do so without hesitation, even if it puts them in trouble.

That's right, in a predicament, the girls' situation is not as good as they imagined, maybe it seems that the girls have always been actively attacking the lurkers, beating them with no chance to fight back. But the girls themselves are well aware that the two lurkers have recovered from the initial chaos, and they are gradually adapting to the intensity of their attacks, and they are adapting faster than expected. Because they've got back on their feet.

The ground was still smooth, the Crystal Cannons were still roaring, and Vivien's flames were still scorching, but they weren't too affected and stood up again. They use the suction cups on their tentacles to catch the ice. The smoothness of the ice could no longer affect them, and the waves of air and flame, while pounding their scales, could hardly really have an effect. The two thick tentacles of the lurker who stood up again waved horizontally in front of him, flying two balls of Freya's energy projectiles, as if he recognized the person who had hurt him with the crystal cannon, and rushed towards Freya together.

Freya didn't move, and her crystal cannon was not suitable for moving, as if she didn't know that the monster was approaching, while consuming the spar like flowing water, she rhythmically activated the crystal cannon's magic circle again and again. Let the dense energy bombs never stop. The beautiful princess had no worried expression at all, because she knew that there were always other teammates behind her, and as long as they were around, they would never let the enemy hurt her, and her teammates never let her down.

"Don't think about it. Catherine followed Nelly's example and fearlessly charged, charging straight at one of the lurkers. She doesn't have the strength and vindictiveness of Nelly's Phantom, but she's also a knight. The girl learned something from the backs of her predecessors' two charges. So, this time, the knight girl did not use her shield to charge at the same time, but held her one-handed sword flat and turned her body into the sharpest weapon. Flashing around the blockade of the surrounding tentacles, he rushed in front of the lurker, and the one-handed sword carried the strength and fighting spirit of the whole body, piercing deep into the main body of the lurker. At the same time as the blade pierced, Catherine's eyes seemed to appear again with the shadow of Nelly's charge just now, every movement. Every contraction of a muscle, every direction and force of force, these things that were impossible to see miraculously appeared in her brain repeatedly. The girl completely relaxed her body, letting her subconscious push her body, she could clearly feel that her every movement was the knight's most basic skill, and these movements fully mobilized every trace of strength in every part of the body, but did not cause any damage to herself, it seemed to be in a perfect balance. Catherine is a knight who mainly trains knights' basic combat skills, and her basic skills are extremely solid, but even so, this feeling is something she has never experienced, and she knows for the first time that after perfecting every basic movement, it will produce such an effect.

"Bang", the two sides finally collided, the last charge, Catherine obviously felt as if she had hit a wall, although the force of the collision did not cause any evil results, but it was relied on the results of her years of training to resist hard, in fact, not only did not shake the other party, but she felt a burst of breath in her chest because of the heavy impact. But this time it was different, according to the movements of her predecessors, the weapon in Catherine's hand drew a subtle arc, allowing the power to burst out from a subtle angle, as if it had just touched the center of gravity of the swamp lurker.

Due to the shift of the center of gravity of the impact, the advancing swamp lurker was affected by his heavy weight and the forward thrust of his tentacles, and his movements twisted and shook a few times, but finally failed to stabilize his balance and fell to the ground, and the body that smashed on the ground raised a sky of sand and dirt, mixed with fine bone meal. Catherine herself, however, seemed to have some strength left, and jumped a few steps backwards lightly, turning to Freya's side.

Because they usually get along day and night, the girls know each other very well, and they are actually very clear about each other's strength, and how much each person can do, because of this, Catherine's sudden results made the other girls startled, they didn't think that Catherine could do this a few minutes ago, let alone believe that Catherine was hiding her strength from them before, and something magical must have happened. However, while her curiosity was high, it was not a good time to satisfy her curiosity, after all, while Catherine temporarily prevented one Lurker from approaching the two casters as the main attacker, the other Lurker was still free. However, Catherine had no intention of continuing to stop the other lurker, because Lina had already taken over her work and bought her precious respite, and at this time the knight girl was staring at her hands blankly, as if she did not believe that the previous result was created by these hands, but in her mind, she was still repeating her actions over and over again, and with each repetition, the realization in the girl's heart deepened a little, until she completely remembered the feeling just now, from her body to the ritual.

In a trance, Catherine seemed to recall that more than a year ago, not long after she met Pannis, Pannis had watched her training in the backyard training ground of the Western-style Pavilion, and had been practicing with her for a few minutes. At that time, what Pannis said seemed to refer to her current perception, but even if she was rich in knowledge and experience, she couldn't understand the deepest essence if she wasn't a knight in the end, and Catherine's own level was not enough at that time to really understand the meaning of Pannis's words, so although she had some gains at that time, it was far less than the current gains, and it could even be said that although her physical fitness had not changed at all, and her fighting strength and reserves had not improved a bit, mastering this kind of combat skills could at least increase her real combat effectiveness by more than thirty percent。

"Sister, it's okay. One hand was controlling the cannon fire, and the other hand was still quickly sorting out various parts to prepare for the rest of the attack, even so, Freya was still the only one who had free time to ask, so she asked the question in her heart for everyone: "What were you just now...... Super level play?"

"Nope. Catherine shook her head and said in a trance: "Maybe in the future, this will be a normal level of performance." ”

"Congratulations. Freya's eyes were filled with sincere joy, and her round face was full of smiles: "Looking at your actions just now, there has been an obvious leap in the control of your body and the use of power, is it really because the enemy has put too much pressure on you that you will strengthen your strength under pressure?"

"I'd love to think so, but it's not. Catherine shook her head and said with respect, "I just received a legacy from a senior, which is a legacy left by a deceased predecessor to a younger knight. ”

"I think I kind of get it. Freya nodded thoughtfully, "Is this a skill you learned from Lord Nelly's back?" ”

"It's my luck. Catherine said, "How else can I follow in the footsteps of your geniuses?"

Catherine was right, during this time, she had already felt that although they were all legends, the rest of the girls were progressing much faster than her. Vivien is a magical genius, and she has regained her health, and her strength is expanding every day; although Lina is not a genius, she is absolutely pious, and she is deeply favored by Denya, and her attainments in magic are also improving rapidly, as for Freya, although the degree of genius, or development potential is not as good as Vivian, but it is also much stronger than ordinary people, and she also has two good teachers, although the teachers can't directly help her improve her ability, but they can make her take a lot of detours. And only Catherine herself, these advantages are not available, all the strength is obtained step by step with diligence and pain, and it is a matter of course to be thrown away by others.

However, the knight girl doesn't like this, not because of comparison, but because she thinks that as a shield for the team, if her own strength is insufficient, it will cause a big drag on the team. Because of this, the leap forward fills her with joy. To be continued.
