Chapter 288: A Stalemate Battle
It's been a long time since Siegel has fought purely with martial arts, so he needs more warm-up time. Using the elven pace, he kept swimming in circles, luring the giants to attack. Although the spear has a large control range, its routines are also familiar to Siegel, so although the scene is dangerous, it does not hurt much.
Giant Kerry always wanted to show off his strength advantage, so he mustered his strength in every attack. The Ice Spear is all in one, not only the tip of the gun, but the entire barrel is actually full of danger. As long as it is hit, it will be the result of broken tendons.
Against a physically gifted opponent like Giant Kerry, you can't expect to win anytime soon. He can take more damage and inflict more violent attacks. The only chance is to use more efficient martial arts to drain his physical strength in constant movement. When Kerry's strength is not enough to make up for the flaws in his martial arts, there is a chance to fight back.
However, Siegel always kept in mind that his goal in this battle was not to kill his opponent, but to maximize his ice ability and last as long as possible. Only in this way will it be possible to force out the evil magic lurking in the giant's mind and bring him back to his senses.
"Kerry Chenko," Siegel slid to the side, "your skills are degraded, aren't you?"
"Fart!" Kerry snorted disdainfully, and the wind from the spear grew louder.
Siegel twisted to avoid the spear that stabbed him. Dangling to the left, then suddenly backing away, avoiding the tip of the spear that stabbed him to the right side of his body. Stardust slammed into the shaft of the spear, and a loud thud was followed by a violent tremor. The artifact is as strong as the earth.
The force of ice was knocked aside in the impact. The cold air and ice crystals emitted by the spear did not fall on Siegel either.
"What a waste of this spear in your hands. Siegel said, "I remember using it too. Fight the Skeleton Dragon Knight for 100 rounds. Ice flies, wind howls. The scene was fierce and intense, like a galaxy falling. You're playing with a spear, what are these snowflakes? Newborn babies pee?"
"That's a lot of nonsense!" Kerry sped up, thrust after thrust, swept and picked and pumped in between. Siegel blocks left and right, keeping the spear from causing wounds on his body, while also taking care to sweep away the ice that is creeping up. In these cold winter days, the power of the Ice Spear was greatly strengthened, and Siegel only felt that his physical strength was lost quickly. So he ran towards a crowded place.
"Where to run?!" Kerry chased after him. He possesses agility and speed that is not commensurate with his size, and is able to turn with Siegel's sudden disguise. In addition to the elven pace, Siegel constantly throws debris around him backwards to slow down Kerry's movements. For a time, the legs of mutton, wine bags, vegetable baskets and stools on the holy mountain were scattered in all directions, and the audience who had been injured by mistake continued to wail.
Siegel took the opportunity to grab a bag of wine and took two sips of it, only then did he feel a little warmer. He took a mouthful in his mouth and squirted hard at Kerry. The drink turned into frost before it could reach his face, and it didn't have the effect of blocking his view at all.
The two fought together again. Siegel seized the opportunity. Rushing to the giant, the sword smashing a bruise on his chest. "My sword is not sharpened. Otherwise, you'll be hacked to death by me. Siegel said to Kerry with a mocking smile, "There are no two grasslands here, otherwise you can rule by yourself!"
"What nonsense you have!" Kerry jerked forward, sending Siegel flying with a slam. The latter spun in a circle in the air, landed lightly on the ground, and then immediately dodged to the side, dodging the pursuit of the spear. The two weapons swung in circles in the air, and the sparks from the collision fell on the snow. Kerry was furious, and the power of ice surged up, coating him with a thick layer of armor. The spear also received his thoughts, and every time it made a connection with Stardust, it would be covered with a thin layer of ice.
Gradually, the sword became heavier and heavier, and it could no longer keep up with the speed of the spear. On the contrary, with the help of ice and snow, the Ice Divine Spear slid faster and faster, and the body of the spear, which was obviously hard and straight, was as agile as a snake. This time, the spear slashed across Siegel's chest, cutting through the thick cotton garment, revealing the blood on his chest.
"You can't take me like that?" Siegel laughed, seemingly ignoring the wound on his chest. He continued to provoke, "Where has all your strength gone?
"Nonsense!" Kerry swung his arms and slammed down, the spear slicing through the mage's head in an arc of light.
Siegel had expected it, knowing that Kerry liked the move. He jumped sideways, leaving Stardust in the giant's attack range. A screeching metal crash was heard, and all the ice on Stardust was smashed, and the longsword regained its lightness and immediately began to fight back.
Siegel continued to sway, slash, and retreat, dragging the giant Kerry in constant pursuit on the sacred mountain. He made full use of the complex terrain around him, using tents, campfires, sundries, and even cattle and horses to draw the energy of his opponents, making him more and more impatient and increasing the strength he used.
Siegel never repeatedly stepped on the ground frozen by the Ice Spear, lest his speed be affected. Once the sword is frosted, he lures Kerry into a hard fight with him to get out of the frozen predicament. If it were other weapons, they would have become brittle in the process of freezing again and again, so that they could not withstand the subsequent violent impacts. But Star Dust, which claims to be indestructible, avoids this problem.
It was a stalemate for a long time, and neither of them could take down the other. Both Siegel and Kerry are starting to get tired, and their speed is gradually decreasing. But if you really think that this is an opportunity to end the battle, you will most likely die because of the underestimation of the enemy. Even when he was out of breath, Siegel did not forget to continue to tease Kerry's temper. "Your father was burned to death by the dragon's fire, did you kill the mastermind behind it? Your brother was dissected, did you take revenge? You didn't even do these two things, why did you take over the power of the leader of the Jackdaw tribe from them, and why did you become the Khan King of the steppe?"
Kerry didn't respond, biting his lip tightly. As the power of the ice surged, the spells in his mind that had been set up by the Knox Association were constantly melting. Thought-suggesting spells were originally permanent effects. But after being forcibly made into a potion. It can only last for a week. And it can't be repeated. The Wizards of the Guild had planned to lure him out of the sanctuary and then use other spells to continue his control. As long as the nomadic tribes and the elves are fighting, it will be difficult for anyone to make them truce. The Knox Guild will also have sufficient time to prepare and crack the giant magic circle that the elves are setting up on the outskirts of Waterdeep.
The spell is constantly compressed by the ice ability, trying to replenish itself by mobilizing the magical elemental power around it. But in the Holy Land, the suppression of the caster here is too strong, and even inward can only suck in a trace that is better than nothing. Therefore, the duration of suggestion is constantly shortened, and the effect is gradually reduced. But it always refuses to disappear in Kerry's head.
It chose to hibernate, allowing the giant's battle consciousness to fully surge. The vague ambivalence was gone, and Kerry's martial arts were finally fully displayed. The Ice Divine Spear matched his size, and under the operation of the family martial arts, he immediately controlled the area with a radius of three meters. Siegel struggled to dodge, but found himself unable to even get out of the circle.
He was hit again and again, and even though he avoided the vital point each time, and even did not affect the movement of his muscles, he continued to bleed. The worst wound was on his left arm, and the force of the ice sealed Siegel's upper arm and shoulder. Maintaining the balance of the body becomes difficult.
Through psionic vision, Siegel was able to see the remnants of the spell lurking in Kerry's mind. The most annoying point of mind control spells. It's just hard to eradicate. With just a tiny seed, it can quickly grow back into a towering tree. That's why trust is hard to establish, but doubt spreads faster than light. Siegel can't give up his efforts, and now he can only grit his teeth and persevere.
In addition to continuing to taunt him during the fight, Siegel is also constantly accumulating strength. Trying to transform a magic spell out of plasma is promising, but to successfully influence Kerry, you must come into direct contact with him. The mage had only one chance to risk putting his hands on Kerry's head and chanting the incantation. This meant that he would be defenseless, and the giants could easily take his life. It's nothing to risk your brother's life, the key is to worry that when you are hurt, you can't control the casting of the spell, and that's what is called sacrificing in vain.
He gritted his teeth and kept going, looking around for an opportunity to turn things around. At this time, he saw Manna running over with a group of people, and Mycera was among them. The black wolf princess had a worried look on her face, and she was still holding her son tightly in her arms.
"Stop, stop!" cried out Mycella, "Why are you killing each other?"
Kerry seemed to be a little more awake, and his hand movements slowed. But the spell in his mind immediately gained a respite and began to grow again. This goes on endlessly, Siegel thought to himself, the endurance of a flesh-and-blood man cannot last longer than a spell, and he must not let up at this time!
"The Red Dragon is here again!" Siegel dodged the tip of the spear and slashed with a slash. Stardust slices through the frozen armor, but is unable to extend the battle due to its disadvantage in attack range. "What were you doing when your child was born? Crying like a child! It was me who fought against the dragon with the Ice Spear! You pseudo-king, immoral, incompetent, coward!"
The stuffy breath in Kerry's chest almost exploded, and he was upset by his loach-like opponent. The more delicate Siegel's elves are and the more tricks they use, the more Kerry can't hold back his emotions. In the giant's eyes, Siegel's image coincided with that of the elf, and he thought it was his mortal enemy.
The giant suddenly stopped what he was doing, and a large cloud of frozen white mist erupted from his mouth and nose. His eyes were like crystals frozen for thousands of years, completely crystal white, and his pupils could no longer be seen. The ice armor that had covered his body was gone, replaced by a blue-and-white tattoo that glowed brightly. The blood of the Ice Giant erupted completely, and the power from the ancient world continued to radiate outward.
Siegel took the opportunity to take a few steps back and smashed the ice on his shoulder with his long sword. He licked his lips and adjusted his breathing. The power of Knox's spell was suppressed to a minimum, and it didn't even have a chance to hibernate, and it was constantly dissolving. As long as this state continues, Siegel will succeed in achieving his goal.
Mycera wanted to rush between the two, but was stopped by Mana: "You must not go up now, you will die!"
The black wolf princess trembled all over, and said in fear: "Kerry is berserk, and if this continues, Siegel will die." ”
"What?!" Manna drew her sword.
"Don't come here and disturb us!" Siegel's voice echoed throughout the Holy Mountain. "I'm going to wake up this idiot!" (To be continued.) )
