Chapter 124: The Sword of the Weak
In the underground building below the side hall, the sound of metal was heard intermittently.
Oscar, who was only focusing on the Black Knight, didn't notice that there were already two more people in the side hall above, and the Black Knight's attack made it impossible for him to be distracted. And the eldest sister in the side hall was also silently observing the duel that was being staged below at Curt's request.
Yes, this cannot be considered a battle in the standard sense, but an unfair duel. The knight in the black full-body plate armor was too gentlemanly, and although every attack was powerful, he would never attack Oscar, who was attacked and had an unstable footing.
The heavy raven's beak hammer slashed through the air like the side of a raven's beak swept across Oscar's chest. Although the hammer head is rusted, the sharp edge is still strong enough to pierce through the slightly thinner metal plate, and if Oscar, who has no armor, is hit, he is almost dead.
It stands to reason that the lightly armed Oscar should be able to move more agile than the heavily armed Black Knight, but now there seems to be something wrong with this "common sense". The black knight, who was wrapped in heavy armor, moved faster than Oscar, and the metal armor made a "clang, clang, clang", and the giant man could catch up with Oscar in two or three steps to reach the distance that Oscar needed to retreat six or seven steps to pull away.
It is impossible to escape, and the difference in strength is not only reflected in the destructive power, but also brings better endurance and degree - a gap that Oscar will not be able to bridge. Even if he tried to escape with all his might, he might not be able to succeed, not to mention that Mio Disstad on the other side did not have the ability to regain his mobility.
Rumble!
The tip of the hammer slammed into the pillars supporting the side nave, and most of the "crow's beak" sank into the rock bricks. The impact left a spider's web on the sturdy structure. Even the side hall above felt a shaking, and if this blow hit Oscar, he would be half crippled if he didn't die.
But Oscar finally dodged before he was hit. He lowered himself before the sweeping attack, allowing himself to burrow into the arms of the Black Knight.
This was the opportunity, and he slashed his sword sideways at his body wrapped in plate armor while the Black Knight's weapon was still in the pillar. Instead of simply using his wrist strength to swing the rusty broadsword, he pressed the weight of his whole body forward and used his hand as the axis to slash out a sword with a lot of weight.
Clang!
The broadsword hit the steel plate with unmistakable accuracy, and the tall black knight did not move. The plates shook slightly. There was no reaction other than the crunch of metal clashing. Oscar's sword didn't leave a single scratch on the pitch-black armor.
But it's no wonder that Oscar, regardless of spells or anything else, this armor provides far more protection and flexibility than other forms of armor. A full-body plate armor that can almost be said to be the highest level of metal armor can be solved by a rusty broadsword?
Seeing that the attack had no effect. Oscar didn't waver either - perhaps he knew that it was impossible to inflict damage on the Black Knight with a broadsword alone. He didn't dwell too much on the opportunity to continue attacking, and immediately withdrew his sword and took two steps forward, narrowly dodging the black knight's turnaround and straight punch.
Dance on the tip of the knife, carefully dodging every attack of the opponent. Then, with insignificant attacks, little by little, they seek a chance to win.
Don't get hit...... Or rather. is not to be hit.
A weak person is a weak person after all - no strong body, no great magic, no superior skills. Weak when attacking, making it difficult to deal effective damage to enemies. And if there is a case, as long as it is hit by a powerful attack, it will be easily destroyed.
The Black Knight, who had pushed Oscar back, had already removed his weapon from the pillar, and his massive body once again took steps to catch up with Oscar. With each step, the Black Knight unleashed a heavy attack with a hammer. Each time, the target is locked onto the part that can kill with a single hit.
The body will never be able to withstand an attack, even if it has been defended in advance. In the blink of an eye, you will be crushed by the enemy with their devastating power - so try not to get hit.
Attack and defend, and use your best efforts to make evasive movements. After protecting himself, he began to slowly try to achieve further results. This is the tactic of the weak, and it is the most useful tactic when the weak must fight against someone stronger than themselves - no matter how powerful the attack, as long as it does not hit, it will not hurt.
Over time, the Black Knight seems to have seen through Oscar's evasive tactics. He suddenly lightened the force of his attack and instead strengthened his grip on the hammer. Each swing always changes trajectory after Oscar dodges, and even if he dodges, further pursuits follow.
The shadow of death loomed closer, and Oscar gritted his teeth, beads of sweat on his head falling to the ground like beans. This kind of battle is like the simulated battle with Liqi at the practice ground, except that the two sides of attack and defense are reversed, and the other party clearly wants to take his life.
When he was the attacker, Lizzie could easily find a gap in his attack and turn him around with a dance-like pace. But when he was on the passive side, he deeply knew that it was not easy to dodge like that, and it was several times more tiring than attacking.
The pace of the opponent's actions, the length of the hand, the length of the weapon, the trajectory of the attack, and the angle from which the attack can be pursued...... These should be looked at and the direction in which it can be safely avoided should be calculated. In order to avoid being attacked by the opponent after evading, it is also necessary to think about the direction of the opponent's attack in advance.
Even if some people say that sorcerers eat by their heads, Oscar can't bear the complicated calculations. The tension and high concentration of his spirit pressed his nerves, and also brought a sense of detachment from Yan zhòng. He is only holding on to his will now, but if he exceeds his limit, fatigue will make it difficult for him to move an inch.
Gotta hold on, Oscar said to himself. Let the brain work, let the mind continue, let the body move...... Because if one thing stops, it's a dead end.
Oscar deeply understands that he is not strong, but rather "weak", which is the complete opposite of "strong". Although he longed for Curt to be able to unilaterally suppress the opponent's attack, he knew that his current level would only be unilaterally suppressed by a stronger opponent.
Avoid, concentrate all your energy on avoidance - the clumsy body gradually becomes dexterous, and the scattered steps gradually become fine. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, albeit slowly, but Oscar is indeed growing, and the accumulation of bits and pieces will eventually accumulate enough power to lead to qualitative change.
avoided again and again, and Oscar's eyes gradually saw the other party's movements clearly. The Black Knight's attack wrapped in the plate armor of the whole body is not complicated, and although the simple and powerful swing is direct and effective, it also allows Oscar to find a flaw in the attack that can counterattack.
Sonor!
Once again, the Crowbeak Warhammer slashed from the upper section, but this time Oscar didn't choose to avoid it. He took a step forward and used his broadsword to hold the handle of the Crow's Beak Warhammer, though it was only made of wood, but the rusty blunt sword could not do any damage to the solid wood.
Of course, Oscar didn't intend to cut off the wooden handle of the Crowbeak Warhammer, and when the force of the downward smash poured into his hand, he relaxed the force of his hand and lightly shifted the hammer to a slightly off-angle angle. At this moment, Oscar scurried behind the black knight and jammed the black knight's foot with his foot.
The old black knight tried to break free of Oscar's feet, but before he could make a move, Oscar, who was in the corner of his force, pushed him in the direction of his force. An unbalanced force was added to the levers of the body, and the body that the Black Knight was supposed to twist was out of balance.
With a metal crash of "Ping Pong!", the black knight wrapped in the plate armor of his whole body fell to the solid ground, and the heavy armor made a piercing grinding sound. Seeing the dawn of victory, Oscar had a relaxed expression on his face.
But just as he was about to pursue the fallen black knight, a vicious chill came over him, and instead of advancing, he cautiously took a few steps back. As he stepped back, the Crowbeak Warhammer swept past where he had been standing, and the black knight rolled forward and stood up.
"What"
Oscar was dumbfounded, and the Black Knight actually threw out the Crow's Beak Warhammer as a throwing weapon. Now that he thought about it, he was still afraid for a while, if he had retreated a little slower just now, or if he wanted to take advantage of the momentum to pursue, he would definitely be pierced by the sharp thorn at the tip of the crow's beak warhammer.
He had heard from others that the whole body was as flexible as he could have imagined, but he was skeptical of it at the time. After all, his whole body is wrapped in iron plates, and he looks like a big canned human body, no matter how flexible he is, this flexibility must be limited.
But now that he saw the black knight tumbling and rolling forward at the same time, he realized how exaggerated the so-called "flexibility" was.
Although he was not relieved from his surprise, Oscar also knew that now was not the time to express his exclamation, although the black knight stood up, he had not yet turned around after throwing his weapon out - now was the best opportunity to attack, if he didn't grasp it, then there might never be another chance!
There was not much left of the body, and the magic of Oscar's whole body was mobilized by him. Not only did the flowing magic strengthen his body according to Lizzie's guidance, but some of it also flowed into the rusty broadsword, giving it an inconspicuous glimmer.
With a muffled "boom", Oscar's attack hit the Black Knight as he was turning. Not the blade, but the counterweight ball at the end of the hilt was smashed into the Black Knight's head like a hammer by Oscar.
The Covered Helmet was knocked away by the blow with all his might, revealing the true face of the Black Knight wrapped behind the armor of his whole body - there was no human body there, only a cloud of black gas. (To be continued!)
