Woody stretched out his left hand, and the inscription on his palm began to change from dim to flickering as he breathed.
——"Shadow Refuge."
Put on a shield first.
With 20 points of agility and shadow protection, Woody's running speed was as fast as an afterimage. The wind in front of him and the vicious look of the strange monster in the distance did not make him retreat even a step.
He doesn't plan to sneak now. He has a corruption curse on his body, and the stealth effect brought by sneaking is very low.
After all, no matter how low the aberration's perception is, it can still clearly know its approximate location through the corruption curse.
And Woody knew that only by overlapping it could it interfere with her perception of her own position.
Just like two large and small dots overlap in perception, it is difficult to detect where the small one is located in the large one.
It is only useful when it reaches the feet of that strange creature.
As long as he gets there, he adds all his skill points to stealth before fighting, and it will be useful.
After reaching fifty points of stealth, you can become invisible in battle without being noticed.
The 22 skill points gained from previous upgrades, plus the 29 stealth points Woody originally had, and the five-point bonus given by Shadow Asylum, made Woody far exceed this requirement.
And at this moment, the four extra venomous snake whip-like tentacles on Oriana's arm were already carrying an unparalleled force, and instantly expanded rapidly in Woody's golden pupils, accompanied by Ou's
Lianna's spiteful voice,
"Ho ho, stranger! I will use your skull to add another new decoration to my garden! Your twisted face will surely grow the most beautiful flowers! I am already looking forward to what it will look like when I drill a hole in your head.
Already."
——"tentacle thrust"
——"Multiple attacks."
It is almost impossible for ordinary professionals not to be injured by indiscriminate attacks that almost block the space in the four directions of front, rear, left and right.
Among Saints, the most reliable tactic to deal with monsters with this kind of melee capability is to have melee professions raise their shields to cover them, while long-range spellcasters or archers are responsible for the output.
But there is another way of fighting that dances on the tip of a knife.
It's called "Challenge".
Woody was seen facing four fierce attacks coming at the same time. He leaned forward slightly, changed the position of his center of gravity, and then at the moment before the tentacles arrived, he rolled forward with a sensitive left front, avoiding two attacks that stabbed at his position.
Bone blade.
Then he dodged sideways, dodging the attack while locking his eyes on the weakest joint of the flesh-and-blood tentacle pierced into the ground, and slashed it down with the enchanted sword in his hand.
Pfft.
Blood splattered and the tentacles were cut off, revealing the dense bones inside.
Orianna didn't even react. She felt that her nerves were torn apart instantly. She wailed in pain, and her resentful eyes became confused.
"impossible!"
She had never seen an adventurer so skilled under her attack, as if he had fought her... countless times.
Woody pursed his lips and said nothing, but the luster at the edges of his golden snake pupils became more and more brilliant, like the sun rising at dawn.
The effect of the cat's eye potion was activated just as Woody moved closer to Oriana.
This is not a game, he needs to adapt to the rhythm of battle.
Just now, in Woody's eyes, the world seemed to have slowed down, but his body also slowed down suddenly.
However, after the spell blessing successfully reached 20 points of extraordinary agility gain, Woody was still able to barely let his body keep up with his visual reaction, which is why Woody was able to dodge so flexibly.
However, Woody's current position is still four or five meters away from Orianna. Now that Orianna has suffered a loss, she no longer dares to test Woody like she did just now, but chooses another attack method.
Instead of stabbing, he chose to swing the tentacles up like a knife or a stick, first raising it 180 degrees backwards, and then swinging it in Woody's direction.
——"Advanced Powerful Attack"
This is an attack technique similar to "cleave and chop" that uses heavy force.
If Woody dared to use the long sword to block or cut, the final result would either be that he stood still, withstood the heavy blow, and cut off her tentacles, or he would be swept away by the heavy force that came with him.
Fly and hang on the wall.
Not to mention losing the ability to fight in one blow, but it definitely won't feel good.
You can only avoid its sharp edges.
A demon hunter with only 15 points of strength and White Wolf Mask, he knew on his own feet that it would be foolish to compare strength with a monster of this size if he encountered it. The mind flayer would probably be able to shake his head when he opened his head.
"Come! Face me! Coward, take your sword and fight me, cowardly foreigner! Don't always try to hide! You can't hide!"
The frantic Oriana was extremely angry when she saw Woody avoiding him. She waved whip shadows all over the sky with her hands, and carried out several large-scale swing attacks in succession, but all failed.
Because Woody can easily see through this attack method just by observing the angle of Oriana's elbow. In addition, the memory of past battles with the aberrations awakens over time, and Woody doesn't even need to avoid these tentacles.
Take advantage of the effects of cat eye drops.
After a few minutes, the fierce offensive slowed down.
Obviously, the powerful attack consumes a lot of its physical strength.
Woody seized the opportunity of a tentacle sweeping across, stepped out with his right foot, kicked hard with his left foot, then jumped to avoid the first attacking tentacle that stuck to the ground, and then rolled forward on the spot to avoid the second half-man.
High sweeping tentacles.
Oriana seemed to have noticed something was wrong. Looking at Woody who was getting closer and closer, she felt a little uneasy, so the tentacles connected with the four tentacles in front of her lower limbs and strangled him towards Woody's position.
Can't let him get close
When the third and fourth attacks came, Woody directly activated the effect of the cat's eye potion.
——Dynamic visual enhancement!
Everything in his field of vision slowed down again, and it took six seconds for Woody to easily find the gap in the web of death.
He dodged sideways and then rolled forward to avoid seven or eight wild whips of flesh and blood. The bone spurs hidden under the tentacles only scratched his pants.
At this time, he had already entered Oriana's hinterland.
That is, her feet.
Here he could clearly see that the tentacles supporting her body were protruding from under the skirt of a huge sarcoma under her upper body.
Woody took advantage of the cat's eye potion before it was over, six seconds was enough for him to find the blind spot of the strange monster's vision.
He quickly locked onto the fifth tentacle on the left front, which was right behind Oriana.
Among the numerous strategies given to players in "Saint" when they fight against the Corrupted Mother Tree.
There are combat plans for encountering such "abnormal monsters" in the form of flesh and blood jellyfish. One of them is to enter its abdomen and hide behind the fifth tentacle. Combined with the stealth brought by high stealth, you can
Just do whatever you want next to her feet without being noticed by her...
Wrapped in darkness, Woody entered a state of stealth with the blessing of shadow protection.
In the darkness, his figure gradually became hazy, as if he was sinking in a sea of shadows. Only when he moved could he vaguely detect the slight waves rising on the sea surface.
His footsteps, his scent, and all the noise he made were shrouded in shadow.
As a result, Oriana found that she suddenly lost the target of her attack.
