Faced with the fierce sword moves of the hateful human being in front of him.
It has a natural tendency to bully weak monsters and fairies, and when it encounters danger, it subconsciously wants to escape into the shadows.
After all, as long as they enter the shadows, they have no natural enemies.
However, the simple trick "Flash Technique" performed by Woody using the glitter powder he bought specifically for it in the secret shop was not so fake that it could not last even two seconds.
Therefore, except for the small shadow under Woody's feet, there is no other shadow area for the bully monster to block and avoid.
At that moment, the bully monster had no choice but to bite the bullet and receive the attack from the demon hunter's long sword.
clang!
The strength of the bully monster is not very high, but its two giant pincers, which are equivalent to the characteristics of natural weapons, are used to parry. When facing the steel long sword made by ordinary mortals, it is not so fragile that it can be cut off with one sword.
To such an extent, this has become the last barrier to protect it from being defeated by a sword.
However, the long steel sword combined with Woody's sword skills still made the long sword like an ax chopping down trees, and the blade was deeply embedded in the bully monster's arms like giant pincers.
"hiss!"
No sound came out of the bully monster's mouth, but the scream of pain had been transmitted to Woody's mind through telepathy, as if this sound wanted him to also feel the body being divided by a sharp sword and the bones being chopped.
Pain.
Woody, who had already lifted off the ribbon, revealed his eyes that radiated yellow light and looked like poisonous snakes. His face was calm, as if he was not upset that his blow failed, and he was even more unaware of the painful roar in his mind.
.
"The shadow ambush was launched successfully. You successfully attacked the weak monster that was caught off guard."
"Swordsmanship: Heavy Slash is activated."
"Successfully activated Sword Skill·Heavy Slash·2, causing 14 (+2) points of damage to the target."
"The target blocked successfully and entered the bleeding state (moderately injured)"
It didn't hit any vital points, and the damage caused by his blade to the weak monster was limited.
However, he is very calm now, and the flashing data in his retinas cannot shake his heart at this moment.
The reason why the bully monster only appears at night and on cloudy days is because in that environment, it can move in the shadows as it pleases.
But if this condition is abandoned, the bully monster is not a very difficult creature.
Having hidden in the shadows for a long time and using "mental torture" telepathy to treat their enemies, they have long lost the experience of fighting the enemy head-on.
Normally advanced professionals can deal with one or two. Their strength is roughly equivalent to those unemployed gangsters in the slums. In the Goblin Wilderness, they are considered the lowest level of monsters. They are not as good as kobolds.
People at least know how to use tools, ambush, sneak, and assassinate.
After the bully monster was exposed to the light, it found that everything it relied on disappeared as the shadow dissipated.
But no matter how low-level it is, it is still a magical creature. With magical power, it can do many things that mortals cannot resist. For example, the current bully monster began to use illusions after discovering that sound can no longer affect the humans in front of it.
attack.
As a result, in Woody's field of vision, at the edge of the bright field of vision created by the flash technique, strange phantoms began to appear one after another, heading in his direction.
In the past, the bully monster could take advantage of the attacker's moment of confusion due to hallucinations to escape into the shadows at this time. However, although the flash spell has dimmed a bit, the shadows have not yet drowned out the light again.
It will take about two seconds before it can escape into the shadows.
All it can do is make the illusion begin to further distort the five senses of the human being in front of him.
For example, now Woody has discovered that the hilt of the sword he is holding has begun to activate.
The black iron began to melt, squirming as if it was alive, gradually growing brown scales, and a triangular head with eyes like his was poked out from the end of the sword hilt.
This was an extremely venomous viper. It made a hissing sound, with its fangs exposed, and looked full of attack.
An ordinary person might have been so scared that he would have thrown away the sword in his hand, but Woody, who had already experienced dealing with bullies in his previous life, knew that the best way to face these hallucinations was to close his eyes.
Although the 16 points of perception cannot achieve the miraculous ability to recognize objects with closed eyes like 20 points of perception, it can still allow him to construct a rough framework and vague outline of the real world.
That alone is enough.
The anchor point was fixed at the intersection of the sword blade and the bully monster's arm. Woody's body suddenly moved together with the long sword. Although the blade was still on the arm of the bully monster in front of him, his body had already taken a big step forward.
.
From this position, he only needed to stretch out his hand to touch the deformed body of the bully monster in front of him, which looked like it was covered with a layer of "tree skin" and covered with black bone spurs. When he opened his eyes, he could also see the shape of the bully monster.
The eyes on the insect's head gave off a malicious look.
But he still closed his eyes, not giving the hallucination any chance to affect his perception.
At this moment, the bully monster's heart became increasingly manic as the shadow approached. Its insect-like eyes stared fixedly at the human who had closed his eyes and dared to provoke it.
Being full of wisdom, it will not let him succeed as easily as it did this time. It will hide in an absolutely safe location, and then torture his mind all the time. When he is exhausted, it will come out to take away his fear.
.
But before it had time to think about how it would torture the human being in front of it in the future, a cold light suddenly appeared in the last afterglow of the "Flash Technique".
Woody turned sideways on the spot, using his left leg and elbow at the same time to push up against the bully, who was half a head shorter than him. However, his originally free left hand unexpectedly grasped it with his backhand.
A long-edged dagger that has never been unsheathed on my waist.
A combat feat that almost all veteran demon hunters of the Shadow Serpent School possess.
"Two-weapon attack."
Moreover, the weapons are one long and one short. They are not two-handed attacks with scimitars or long swords like those of rangers or thieves. Demon hunters of the Shadow Serpent School have unique training skills.
This requires the coordination of the left and right hands to reach a certain balance point between the direction of the mind and the direction of the sword, and then the special expertise of "two-weapon attack" can be fully mastered.
Woody didn't have time to practice after he advanced as a demon hunter, so he naturally didn't have this expertise.
However, against the creatures that have been pinned in place by his long sword, relying on the battle memory of the previous life in his mind, he can still use the sneak attack hidden blade that is quite common in dual-weapon battles, and fixed-point attacks can be achieved.
The dagger in his hand was like a poisonous snake seeking its life. It penetrated the head of the weak monster in front of him from bottom to top at a tricky angle.
"The shadow ambush was launched successfully and hit the vital parts successfully."
"Thrust activates."
"Successful thrust*3, causing 22 (+3) fatal damage to the target."
"Target is dead."
"Successfully kill the bully monster and gain 120 experience points."
Sure enough, the experience given by magical creatures is more than double that of sahuagin.
After all, if it is an unprepared mercenary team, although they can protect themselves from bullying monsters, it will be extremely difficult to kill them.
Only Woody, who has experienced the Fairy Wilds coming to Asenland and knows the weaknesses of bully monsters, can so easily deal with such a monster that affects people's minds at a low level.
Pulling out the dagger without mercy, leaving the body of the bully monster lying in the dilapidated ruins overgrown with weeds, Woody once again looked at the old street that was once again enveloped in shadows.
There was already a little desire in his eyes.
The object dropped by the little girl just now shows the direction in which the girl is heading. She must have been chased here by the sahuagin in a panic.
Soon, the newly cracked rotten wood port, the trampled grass...
Based on the clues Woody investigated, he discovered that the traces that had not disappeared last night pointed to the square in the center of the old street.
In a circus that has long been abandoned.
Before entering, Woody looked at the dead body of the bully monster.
His spirit-hunting oath seems to have become unbearable...
