Chapter 21: Lost Sword Skills
In the face of the attack of the spirit warrior, the five bandits were stunned, they couldn't figure out what the other party's intentions were, although they had the strength of a mid-level swordsman, but they had never learned the art of combined attack, originally thought that this black-armored warrior should rush straight over to fight, but to their surprise, the other party actually chose a curved attack route and launched an attack on their edge.
However, these bandits did not panic because of this, the so-called ignorant people are fearless, these guys who have only given Dallus instructions separately, and have not even participated in group battles, have not noticed Judy's true intentions at all. And even the swordsman on the far right, facing Judy's attack, was only a defensive start in advance, after all, there was still some distance between the two, and it was not yet to the point of fighting.
But at this moment, the bandits saw the black-armored swordsman raise his long sword, and then made a downward slashing gesture. This posture was strange for the bandits, because they had not yet entered the attack range of the two-handed giant sword, and even if the other party swung the sword and only slashed into the air, no one knew what the black-armored warrior was going to do.
And at this moment, something strange happened.
Just as Judy's two-handed giant sword swung halfway, the huge black figure suddenly turned into a pitch-black flash of light, rushing towards his target at a speed several times faster than before. Pity the thief who was targeted has not fully reacted, he only felt a flower in front of him, and then the black figure that was originally a few meters away from him has come to him, and in the face of this sudden attack, the thief immediately chose to retreat, he quickly jumped back, and at the same time raised the long sword in his hand, trying to resist the opponent's attack.
But it's still a step slow.
Judy's two-handed greatsword had already slashed in half before the charge, and now that the charge was over, her strength was not only not neutralized, but on the contrary, the tremendous momentum that came with the charge was added. Even if both sides also possess the strength of a mid-level swordsman, they will definitely not be able to withstand this thunderous blow - not to mention that since there is no difference in rank, what is left is naturally just a naked strength confrontation.
"Ding!"
The bandit was in a hurry to resist, and Judy was ready to go, coupled with the powerful force after the charge and the weight of the giant sword itself, so that the two were separated at the moment of intersection, the poor bandit only felt that his arm was suddenly numb, and then he completely lost consciousness, and he didn't even know whether he was still holding the sword, and then, his arm shook outward without listening to the command, and then the door was wide open. The giant sword, which lost its block, drove straight in, easily inserting into the opponent's body, Judy twisted her wrist slightly, and then threw it hard. The corpse of the bandit was sent flying, and when he fell to the ground, the poor creature's face was still frozen in the panic, unease, surprise and confidence of the moment before he died—as if his time was forever stuck in the moment when he resisted the attack, and nothing changed.
There was a calm.
Daros and the other bandits stared at the corpse in surprise, not knowing what to say, and even the rest of the bandits, who had planned to rush forward to fight, stopped in disbelief in front of them.
"Accelerated Charge ........."
Daros swallowed his saliva and muttered to himself in a low voice, he had no idea that the other party would master such a skill.
For mid-level swordsmen, charging is a basic skill - the principle is to condense the power of their soul and then burst out in an instant, so as to speed up the attack and achieve the purpose of attacking. However, this technique has a fatal flaw, that is, before launching a charge, the user must stand still and accumulate strength, generally speaking, before launching a charge, a mid-level swordsman will make a dash motion, standing still, and then launch this skill. First, this allows you to accumulate strength in the shortest possible time, and secondly, standing in place also helps the user to change the direction of the battle in the most flexible way - the charge can only move in a straight line, which is why it is very necessary to grasp the opponent's position and give accurate attacks. On the contrary, charging in action is almost considered an impossible task, you must know that it is not easy to concentrate soul power in the process of action, not to mention that due to the reason of the action, it will cause unstability and floating footsteps, in this case, if you start a charge, you will throw yourself out, or you will roll directly to the ground and become crippled, you can imagine what kind of tragedy it will be after a speeding car suddenly has no wheels.
Only those swordsmen who were born in the era of the Shining Moon, the era when the magic was the strongest, retained such skills, the casters at that time were extremely powerful, and in order to fight against these spellcasters, the swordsmen also created a lot of advanced combat skills, and the accelerated charge was one of them, after all, the spells of those mages were quite powerful, and if they stood still and charged, they would only become a live target for spells. Only by charging in a continuous line of action, dodging, and running can you do enough damage to the mages.
Today's mages are no longer as strong as they used to be, and in the same way, the advanced skills that were once passed down by the swordsmen have gradually disappeared, but those skills are still passed down in legends, stories, and even the stories and teachings of other swordsmen, telling every warrior that there was once such a group of people, in their own way, who reached a height that future generations could not imagine.
Compared to the shock of Dallus, the rest of the bandits didn't think about it so much, after all, they hadn't reached the realm of Dallus, and just improving their strength was enough for them to be busy at the moment, so after seeing the movements of the black-armored warriors, the only thing they were surprised was that the other party was actually able to charge in action. But this is not a big problem for the other bandits, after all, because of Judy's charge this time, the distance between her and the other party has been reduced to a considerable point, and because of this, she has no way to release the charge again.
The silence was only a brief moment.
Subsequently, the two sides began to fight fiercely again.
Normally, the greatsword is only suitable for swordsmanship with wide openings and closes, because its massive form has limited its function as a weapon, but now, in the face of these bandits, Judy has displayed a swordsmanship that no one else could have imagined, and her sword moves are not only powerful and brave, but also delicate. And those bandits obviously lack the experience of dealing with this kind of giant sword, so when facing Judy's attack, they are a little restricted, the only thing that is a little threatening is that although these bandits are very tricky to face this giant sword, they have not left Judy's side, obviously guarding this spirit warrior to prevent him from playing another accelerated charge.
"Ding!"
Two swords intersect.
The black-clad bandit screamed and stepped back, swinging his sword sideways, losing the power to unload his opponent while approaching his enemy's body in order to attack. But before he could unload Judy's attack power, Judy had already jumped back quickly, and at the same time, the giant sword that unloaded the power was unabated and swung to the side, forcing the other bandit who had planned to take the opportunity to rush forward and retreat. His panicked actions set off a chain reaction, seeing his companions retreat, the remaining three also disrupted their positions, and they looked at each other in a daze, wondering why the other party refused to take this opportunity to attack.
The opponent's formation was chaotic.
Judy had already sensed this, and although she was confident that she could use her combat experience and skills to destroy all four enemies in front of her, it would still take time, and just now Yulian had already informed her through the Soul Liaison that she would "finish the fight early, and call it a day".
Now is the time.
After disrupting the encirclement of the four bandits with a single blow, Judy gripped the greatsword with her backhand, and then bright flames erupted from the red pattern on the sword's body.
The scorching aura spread in an instant, making even the four bandits in it feel a little uncomfortable, but at this moment, Judy had already attacked.
The giant sword wrapped in the soul fire slashed down again, and this time the poor bandit didn't have time to resist at all, he only felt the long sword in his hand become hot like fire, but before he could drop the weapon in his hand, the blade of flame had already swept through his body, leaving only a pitch-black charred humanoid. The other person beside him tried to resist in panic, but the moment Judy swung his sword, his fate was already decided.
Soon, another flaming corpse flew into the sky and landed heavily on the ground.
Judy's greatsword paused slightly, but that wasn't meant to stop the attack.
Then, in the eyes of everyone, this burning flame figure suddenly burst out like a poisonous snake, it brought a long red flame, jumped into the sky, and then opened its mouth and threw itself to the ground, and the third victim who bore the brunt of the fire was completely devoured by the flame snake's open mouth before he could even let out a miserable cry, and the loud sound of the explosion even made many bandits' eyes darken, and they almost fainted.
The last bandit did not choose to fight.
He didn't know what had happened to his opponent, but since his companions had been killed by this strange fellow, he was no match either, so he immediately turned around and tried to flee the battlefield and return to Dallus to seek his refuge.
But he had only run two steps before he felt a heart-rending pain erupt from his chest, and then a tremendous force and burning flames enveloped his body.
It wasn't until Judy pulled the greatsword she threw herself from his shattered, charred corpse that the flames faded away.
The bandits' eyes widened in surprise, unable to believe what they were seeing. Daros, on the other hand, had a gloomy face and clenched his teeth.
Although he had already seen that the opponent's combat experience and skills far surpassed those of the apprentices he had trained, Daros did not expect that the battle would end in such a short time.
"The power of the caste, the lost sword skill?"
Daros took two steps forward and drew the sword at his waist, knowing that there was no way back.
"Very good, I don't know who you are, but I think you are qualified to fight me, come on!"
While caste power and acceleration were very powerful skills, Daros knew that they were only good for the ages - not how advanced they were, and that in the legendary era, they were required swordsmanship for mid-level swordsmen. While Dallus hasn't learned to speed up his charge himself, he's well aware that he still has a chance of winning. Mid-level swordsmen are only mid-level swordsmen after all, and no matter how wonderful and strange the skills they master, they can't make up for the difference in strength between them and high-level swordsmen.
However, to Daros's surprise, the black-armored warriors did not meet the battle as he expected, instead, the other party put away their weapons and returned to their ranks, and then the black-armored warriors turned to their sides and moved out of the way.
A young man dressed in aristocratic attire stepped out of it.
"In that case, then I'll be your opponent, Mr. Dallus. ”
Yu Lian bowed slightly, looked at the enemy in front of him with a soft and elegant smile, and spoke.
