Chapter 37: The Battle of the Long Street of the Moon (9)
"Could it be that she is a demon martial arts dual cultivator?" Seeing that Adela and himself could actually use magic skillfully, Sword Saint Oswald gasped in his heart, and his eyes turned to Ryan who was standing aside, feeling a trace of jealousy in his heart towards the ordinary looking young man, and then Oswald immediately turned his gaze back to Adela's body, and his heart was full of thoughts.
Legend has it that there are not many powerful warriors who can use both martial arts and magic to fight, except for the dragons, a few races whose lifespan is so long that they have to sleep to pass the time, members of other races are limited by their own life length, and they must only choose to specialize in one way of fighting, so there are so-called warriors, thieves, mages, and priests...... There are a variety of professions with their own characteristics.
Human talent is inferior to that of elves, dwarves, etc., but because of their own mediocrity, or balance, they have obtained another ability, that is, to improve their own strength in disguise through part-time jobs, such as mages who cultivate both ice and fire, warriors who minor thieves, etc., this kind of part-time job often only uses the deputy position to strengthen their main profession, or enhance their advantages, or make up for their shortcomings, but there has never been such a "magic and martial arts double cultivation" that attaches equal importance to magic and martial arts, and casts spells that are not affected by hand-to-hand combat.
Adela waved the weapon in his hand and rushed towards Oswald again, thanks to the large amount of auxiliary magic he was blessed with, Adela was now moving much faster than before, and he could barely keep up with Oswald's speed. However, it is naturally much worse than this sword master, after all, Oswald has been immersed in martial arts for a long time far beyond Adela's age, and the gap caused by time is not something that a good magic equipment or a few auxiliary spells can make up.
Seeing that Adela who rushed towards him was full of flaws, Oswade shook his head in his heart, he admitted that Adela's "Demon and Martial Arts Double Cultivation" was very useful, but Adela's own strength was too poor, if it was replaced by the Elendor he met in the Iron Fist Castle, I am afraid that Oswald would not even have the ability to fight back now, and even if an opponent like Adela has a lot of magic blessings and is protected by excellent quality magic equipment, he still can't get rid of the situation of being passively beaten.
Oswald was determined to fight quickly, he knew that the armor on Adela's body was amazingly powerful, so he simply abandoned his sword and attacked with his fists instead, which is the same as hitting an enemy wearing heavy armor with a blunt weapon such as a hammer, but even if the Juggernaut is empty-handed, the attack power is extremely powerful.
There is no joy or sorrow, no desire or desire, the sword saint Oswald's heart is empty, his eyes casually look at Adela who rushed up, his body is not dodging at all, and he treats his opponent as if he is nothing. As Adela approached him and was just a millimeter away from splitting him in two, Oswild's body suddenly twisted, and he strangely let go of Adela's two-handed greatsword, and then swung his right fist into Adela's left ribs as fast as lightning. Oswade used all his power on this punch, which came out with a rapid whistling sound and a faint white glow, which was the most obvious manifestation of the leakage of vindictive energy.
"Poof!" Oswald's powerful attack hit Adela under the left rib with unmistakable accuracy, but instead of the sound of bones shattering as he expected, there was a dull sound, a punch that was enough to break Adra's bones, and its force seemed to be blocked by something, and it did almost no damage to Adela.
"Huh?" Oswald was slightly stunned, he had fought hundreds of battles in his life, but it was rare to see someone who did not dodge or resist, but used some strange method to absorb the power of his fist, thinking that this was mostly the effect of some kind of magic. Thinking of this, Oswade suddenly let out a loud shout, and when Adela's body still hadn't had time to change, he waved his hands alternately, and launched a continuous attack on Adela's vital point.
In Oswald's opinion, even if there is any powerful magic that can absorb the attacks launched by himself, but magic always has a limit, and it cannot be endless, as long as the most violent attacks hit the enemy in the same position continuously, you can finally break the enemy's defenses and really damage the enemy's body.
"Poof! poof!" In 1 second, Oswade hit Adela seven times in a row, but they were completely blocked by the magic on the opponent's body, Oswade was not discouraged, and directly threw the eighth punch, but when this punch hit the target, his fist suddenly hurt, and then a burning sensation began to spread along the arm and spread to the body from the hand he hit Adela in an instant.
Oswald's punch was so fast that although he had already realized that something was wrong, he still stopped his attack after hitting Adela for the twelfth time, and it was at this time that he realized that his arms were burning with pain, and he flew up and kicked Adela and took advantage of the momentum to retreat.
Adela didn't pursue, just stood in place and ate Oswald's kick, and then Oswade let out a heavy "snort" in his mouth, which contained a slight taste of pain, and it was obvious that the last kick suffered a little bit on Adela's body.
Oswald had time to check his arms as fast as he could, only to find that his arms, which he could directly grasp the burning charcoal, were covered in large marks of flame burns, and that the foot he had kicked Adela at the end was covered in blisters, which was terrifying.
"What kind of magic is this? The flame shield doesn't seem to be so powerful, right?" Oswald's brows furrowed involuntarily, he could naturally endure this level of pain, but with this kind of magical protection, wouldn't Adela be at a loss for what to do?
Adela ignored Oswald's question, she was not obligated to explain to the Sword Master of Mochizuki City that the flame shield just now was borrowed from Ryan's hellfire from the fire elemental plane, and that lethality was naturally much more amazing than ordinary flames. The armor on Adra's body has been covered with thick soil, which makes her feel very uncomfortable by nature, but the magic effect of this "body protection stone skin" is very amazing, it can actually absorb most of the power of Oswald's bare hand attacks, and the burning flame shield on the outside will counter every close attack of the enemy, and the part of Oswald's body that is burned by the flames is a masterpiece of this magic.
"It's no wonder that everyone wants to be a magician, and the feeling of being protected by layers of magic is really pleasant. Adela muttered a few words, she was almost invincible now, and she was naturally in a good mood, while Oswald, who was opposite her, was standing there with a strained face, thinking hard, hoping to come up with a way to deal with Adela without hurting herself.
"I didn't expect you to be able to use magic to match me! But unfortunately, your speed still can't catch up with me, as long as I still have the physical strength, you can only be in a passive situation forever. In his heart, Oswade had upgraded his previously disdainful opponent to the point of equalization, but he still retained the pride of being a sword master: "I want to see if it is your magic that has lasted for a long time, or my martial arts that I have practiced diligently for decades!"
Before Oswade could finish speaking, his whole body moved again, and this time he no longer forcibly attacked Adela, but wandered around and fought a guerrilla war with Adela. With Oswald's speed, Adela could barely keep up even if he blessed a large amount of auxiliary magic, which naturally put Adela in a passive position in battle, as long as Oswald was willing, he could even get out of the battle at any time, Adela couldn't help him at all.
Adela didn't seem to care about Oswald's technique at all, she still raised the sharp weapon in her hand and pursued the sword master persistently, but the speed difference between her and Oswade was still a little distance, as long as Oswade didn't deliberately slow down, Adela couldn't catch up with him anyway.
Although it was a life-and-death battle, the scene was unusually comical because of the pursuit and the fight, and Ryan stood aside and looked at Adra's tall figure with a smile on his face, which reminded him of the female knight Christina who had fought together in the imperial capital. On the day of the battle on the royal viewing platform, the female knight Christina wielded this weapon, and Ryan and they fought the orc sword St. Andreas together, although it was at the moment of life and death, but perhaps it was because of this that Christina's image was deeply reflected in Ryan's heart, but it was a pity that the sturdy female knight was severely punished for shielding Catherine, and she may never be seen again in this life.
Oswald and Adela fought for a long time, but they also achieved their goal of delaying time, but as time passed, Oswade suddenly realized that the battle had changed some variables. Adra's body has been burning with raging fire, which is the "flame shield" magic that can counter attacks, but as Adela pursues Oswald's footsteps, the flames on her body also slowly spread to her feet, every step Adela takes, will leave a burning footprint on the ground, after a period of pursuit, the place where the two of them fought is almost covered with such burning footprints, and many places because of Adela trampled on it many times, so that these burning footprints are slowly connected.
Oswald didn't know if the fire footprints were caused by Adela's inability to control the magic on his body, or if it was another magic released by Adela, so he couldn't try it lightly, so he had to take the most conservative approach, which was to avoid the flames burning on the ground as much as possible, which made his movements more and more restricted.
