Chapter 161 Madness, confrontation, self-confidence and self-control
Walking with heavy steps like the sound of war drums, Gustami was like a humanoid dragon. He quickly charged towards Moriarty. The initial distance between the two was tens of meters, and under the full force of the magic swordsman,
It only takes a few seconds for the edge to be easily overcome. And in such a short period of time, unless it has reached the level of instant terror or uses magic props, ordinary mages will not have time to fully recite the spell.
"What to do?"
For a moment, almost everyone present asked this question for Moriarty in their hearts, because as we all know, once a low-level mage is approached by a warrior professional, it will be a complete failure.
Should he put down his dignity and activate a certain piece of magic equipment that he carries with him? Or should he hold on until Gustav knocks him to the ground? No matter how they think about it, the onlookers can only come up with two either-or ideas in their minds.
The answer comes. And no matter which one becomes reality in the end, it will not be very beneficial to Moriarty. The difference is that one is more embarrassing and the other is less embarrassing.
And just when the whole guard squadron was holding their breath, waiting for the final answer to be revealed, Moriarty suddenly turned to one side, and at the same time, the dagger in his hand drew an arc-like trajectory towards the ancient man who had arrived in front of him.
Staff slashed straight to the chest. In an instant, the cold light that shone on the edge of Moriarty's sword was like a heart-wrenching punch, hitting everyone in the heart.
They were so shocked that they couldn't breathe, and even forced most of the witnesses to feel a sense of shame and sadness.
"Why!" For a moment, the entire playground was quiet, as if someone had choked it, and no other sound could be heard except for bursts of rapid breathing like an ox. At the same time, there was another shout that seemed to be resonating.
The chests that were about to explode roared and echoed.
Why? Why on earth is it that Moriarty, as a dignified mage, can swing such a wonderful sword at the roaring magic swordsman in such a pure warrior way? Has the era advanced to the point where a mage can also work part-time as a warrior?
Already?
The nerves of the "audience" were close to collapse. But unfortunately, no one except White and Guderian could figure it out.
Unlike the random thoughts of everyone in the audience, Gustav's face immediately turned livid when faced with Moriarty's sharp sword, which was like a ghost. Before that, all the magic swordsman was thinking about was
After approaching the mage at full speed, how to withstand a possible wave of terrifying counterattacks from him? Gustav was even mentally prepared for this, even if he was seriously injured, he would knock the opponent down with one blow. However, reality and imagination
The distance was so far away. What greeted Gustav was not the dazzling and fatal flash of magic, but a quick vertical slash that even he couldn't help but applaud. Not that Moriarty's
No matter how fast, how heavy, and how sharp the slash was, it was the angle and timing of the sword that was so well grasped that it gave the magic swordsman a terrifying illusion that he was unable to block or avoid it.
It's a pity that Gustav is not one of those leisurely spectators in the audience, and he has no time to carefully appreciate the charm of this sword.
It was just a flash of lightning, a misjudgment, and Gustave, who inexplicably lost the initiative, suddenly jumped to a stop, and at the same time, he struck out with a fierce sword. With the full strength of his own waist, plus a little help from the two swords, he was able to
A rather ugly jumping posture barely managed to avoid the opponent's sharp slash.
Before the magic swordsman could adjust his slightly disordered steps, Moriarty, who had already taken the advantage, stabbed directly with his sword.
Different from the exquisite vertical slash just now, his second sword only has one word, fast! Like lightning,
Like a gust of wind or a shining star, it gives others the dazzling feeling of seeing only the light of the sword but not the blade.
"How can it be!?"
If the previous sword slash might have been a lucky blow, then Moriarty's second straight thrust clearly revealed his solid swordsmanship skills above level three. And at this moment Gustav also
He has completely come to his senses, and it turns out that his new commander is indeed a warrior as strong as himself.
"Ha!" As if the fuse that had been buried in his heart for a long time was ignited, Gustav felt that he was so excited that he was about to explode like a powder keg. Looking at Moriarty's thunderbolt-like second blow,
With his sword, the demon swordsman, whose pupils were violently bloodshot, seemed to have suddenly gone crazy. He completely ignored the impending sword thrust and instead used all his strength to fiercely sweep towards Moriarty. It looked like he planned to die together with his opponent.
"This bastard!"
Seeing Gustav's almost rogue counterattack, White, as the referee, immediately became furious. This was not a battle drill within the squadron, but it had clearly turned into a life-and-death fight like an enemy. If you had a crossbow in your hand at this moment
White couldn't help but shoot the magic swordsman directly in the head with an arrow.
"Ha!" Moriarty also didn't expect that the opponent would counterattack so unconventionally and cruelly, and every attack would be cruel and fatal. But since we are on the "battlefield", we can't resent the enemy for "using every possible means."
". This is true for the former mutated leader Gog Demon, and it is also true for Gustav in front of him.
The clear eyes reflected the icy sword blade that was slashing horizontally. Moriarty yelled loudly and the straight sword in his hand actually sped up again. He followed the sudden arc of his body and slashed towards the magic swordsman.
The side and lower part of it passed by.
"puff……"
In the blink of an eye, two completely different figures intertwined and overlapped like colliding comets, and then separated in an instant.
When everyone on the sidelines looked anxiously again, they saw a large amount of bright red dye pouring out of Moriarty's left arm, like a circle of red hoops soaking the sleeves of a general's uniform: and behind him, Gusta
The husband also stood alone on one leg, with a ball of dripping flesh and blood open like a baby's mouth in the middle of his right thigh.
"this!"
No one could have expected beforehand that a seemingly simple battle drill would develop into a bloody incident in an instant. Moreover, this was the first time that wounded soldiers had been injured since the establishment of the Guard Squadron, but it was a "fratricidal incident" caused by insiders.
," if this spreads out, I am afraid that the Guard Squadron will immediately become the laughing stock of the entire Blue Crystal City.
And just when the whole team turned their attention to White urgently, hoping that the referee would stop the two players on the court immediately, Moriarty and Gustav had already started new actions in unison.
Without pausing at all, Moriarty, whose arm was cut off, continued to accelerate towards the other side by using the inertia of the forward thrust, quickly widening the distance between him and Gustave. Obviously, without the overwhelming power,
In front of the close combat advantage, Moriarty had no interest in fighting the magic swordsman for a second time, exchanging injuries for injuries. But behind him, Gustav turned his head violently at the same time, and then shot a short sword in his hand.
The sword was inserted into the grass beside him, and he started to curse loudly at the back of his opponent who was retreating.
"Not good!" All the bystanders who were leaning toward Moriarty were all "thumped" in their hearts when they saw this, but they also secretly admired the magic swordsman's toughness and quick reactions to his enemies.
Although Gustav's right foot was injured by Moriarty and he has temporarily lost his original mobility, he still retains most of his fierce and life-threatening melee strength. Now, the magic swordsman uses Moriarty's initiative to stay away from the air.
Then he started to summon "Magic Arrow" and once again gained the upper hand.
If Ruti wants to interrupt the opponent's spell, Moriarty must turn back and start a brutal close combat with Gustav again. Otherwise, even if he stops immediately, he will still start casting a level one spell.
But it is impossible to complete magic before the magic swordsman. Because for any mage professional, the spell structure and summoning skills of magic arrows are relatively simple and basic. Unless it can be cast instantly, otherwise
Compared with the spell-holding time of a mage apprentice and that of an intermediate mage, there is almost no difference.
Hearing the sound of a spell behind him, Moriarty immediately stopped and turned around. What he saw was Gustave, who was smiling extremely excitedly but at the same time coldly holding the spell.
Just for a moment, Moriarty's face suddenly showed an appreciative smile. Then, facing each other like this, the mage started his spell. But unlike the magic swordsman, Moriarty summoned
It's not a magic arrow, but a second-level fire spell - fireball.
"what happened?"
Seeing this bloody internal fight among the soldiers suddenly transformed into a magical confrontation between two "mages", the guard squadron who had been frightened once was immediately shocked again.
However, for laymen to watch the show, experts to watch the door. Even though the nine magic swordsmen watching the battle only mastered one magic arrow, they could still tell that the spell Moriarty cast was definitely a level two or higher spell. And this point
, you can directly judge it just by the complexity of the spell and the guiding gestures.
"Does the squadron leader plan to rely on his own magic resistance to resist? Even the mid-level mage said that he can resist magic arrows without being injured!?" This strange scene in front of them seemed to completely overturn the past of the nine people.
Magical knowledge gained through years of hard work.
When he saw Moriarty, who was clearly lagging behind but still wanted to compete with him in spells, Gustave couldn't help but have a flash of doubt in his eyes, but he was suppressed immediately. As a veteran who was once a half-step intermediate
The warriors and magic swordsmen may be far inferior to Moriarty, who was born as an orthodox mage, in terms of magic knowledge and spell background. However, Gustav has a strong desire for his own fighting skills, including the only spell he masters, the "Magic Arrow".
His self-confidence and self-control ability. No matter how fierce and crazy the fighting spirit in his heart is, he can still complete the entire spell-casting process flawlessly and summon the magic arrow in one second.
Therefore, Gustav absolutely did not believe that Moriarty could complete the attack before him.
This is the confidence and self-control of being a magic swordsman.
The so-called warrior knows magic and no one can stop him.
