Judging from the information revealed by the astral wind set off by the opponent, the opponent is determined, extremely greedy, bloodthirsty, and full of confidence. There will be at least one close combat.
Xia Duo clenched the [Blade of Veto] in his hand and stared intently at the leader of the hunters who was wearing crimson armor.
At the same time, he also followed the movement trend of the glorious field around Thorne, flexibly maneuvered, and always maintained a relative distance from Cliff and Thorne.
Soon, Xia Duo could clearly see the hunter leader's cold and emotionless eyes, as well as the sharp fangs that were intimidating at first sight.
As for the pointed, long elf-like ears, and the rough and ugly nose, Xia Duo quickly ignored it.
As expected, the opponent slowed down, and the deceleration efficiency was extremely high. It only passed by Xia Duo and the others once, and the speed was reduced to a level sufficient for close combat.
"Lord Xia Duo, remember to prioritize self-protection!" Thorne reminded him again, and then he stopped talking, and instead opened up the glorious field and led the three of them to maneuver continuously.
Even though the dozen hunters have slowed down, they are still moving at high speed. Thorne and Cliff seem to be not good at melee combat. They always keep avoiding and wait for opportunities to attack while maintaining a certain distance.
This situation reminded Xia Duo of the air battles between fighter planes on Earth. During the battle, one side kept dodging while the other kept chasing.
Fortunately, this group of hunters didn't seem to have any long-range attack methods. They just kept chasing and approaching, which also gave Xia Duo and the other three opportunities.
Of course, it's mainly Cliff.
Xia Duo originally thought that the battle in the star realm would be like in the main plane, with both sides standing still and starting a positional battle, but he did not expect that it would be such a mobile battle.
The [Blade of Veto] strategy that he had prepared for a long time might very well be useless!
However, this is okay, there are many surprises in close combat, and Xia Duo is not fully confident that he will be able to defeat these hunters who are skilled in combat.
While moving, Shado also began to try to attack while keeping the protective glow. He imitated Cliff and fired a beam of rays from his fingertips.
It's just that his ray only flew less than ten meters away from his fingertips before dissipating on its own, and its flight speed was not as fast as Cliff's shot.
Shado does not think that his spiritual will is weak. The fact that he can teleport in the astral realm with just his will is enough to show that his will is not weak. Perhaps Cliff has mastered the real means of fighting in the astral realm.
Xia Duo tried several times again, but no matter how he tried, the power could be improved, but the distance of the spell was difficult to increase.
In other words, in this situation, he can really protect himself and cannot hit the enemy's attack. Can it still be considered an attack?
For a moment, Xia Duo regretted following him out, but then he cut off these distracting thoughts. In any case, it was too passive to stay in the plane and wait for the result.
"Sir Thorne, the opponent's speed has been reduced a lot. I am sure to hit the members behind them, but they will still be caught up by the opponent in the end. Can we negotiate with the opponent so that the two sides stop and leave?"
"No need, these bandits won't give up until they catch their prey!"
"I just hope, alas!"
After sighing, Cliff directly hit a small man behind the hunter's formation with a blazing ray. The little man tried to resist, but was instantly ignited by the fatal ray and turned into a human-shaped torch that completely fell behind.
"If I catch you, I'll use your head as a drinking vessel!"
Behind him, the hunter leader in crimson armor immediately sent out a thought. The strong killing intent in this thought almost went straight to Xia Duo's forehead. He actually saw countless white skulls displayed in a well-decorated cabinet.
this--
Xia Duo immediately gathered his mind, rechecked the protective glow around him, and tightened his grip on the sword in his hand to gather a stronger will.
Thorne was not affected in any way and still maintained the radiant field, leading the three people to continuously maneuver, while Cliff continued to respond with blazing sun rays.
However, no matter how the three of them maneuvered, the absolute difference in speed made the distance between the two sides continue to shorten. Although it would still be quite some time before they were finally overtaken, such an outcome was already doomed.
On the other side, the hunter leader just said a harsh word and stopped talking. After all, if you want to move in the star realm, you need to maintain this idea. Once the distraction is reflected in the speed, it may be reduced.
.
Later, Shado also realized this. He and Cliff mainly relied on Thorne's Glory Domain to move, but they actually contributed very little.
Therefore, he didn't care whether he could actually attack the opponent or not, and from time to time he would just set off fireworks behind him or make a loud noise.
In the void of the astral realm, the sound cannot be reflected very well. It is like being covered with a thick quilt. When the two parties move, their bodies remain still and there is no sound at all.
The sudden sound that Xia Duo made really startled the people behind them, and even caused their movement formation to become a little confused.
Moreover, when he makes sounds, he does not follow any rules. Instead, he will be quiet for a while and then suddenly come on. The same is true for fireworks or flashes.
After all, you can't make the other party feel better, at least you have to distract them.
Of course, before engaging in these tricks, Chateau also greeted Thorne and Cliff in advance, otherwise it would be too tragic if the enemy was not frightened but his own people were frightened.
With Sha Duo joining in, although it was an indirect battle, it really delayed the time of being caught up. Although Thorne and Cliff didn't say anything, Sha Duo could feel their recognition.
Therefore, he interfered even harder, and even shouted in person. Although the two parties did not understand each other's language, the spiritual wind that continued to spread in the void of the star realm was connected.
"Ugly dwarfs, are you imitating elves? Unfortunately, they don't look alike! Do you want me to teach you?"
Shado never thought that after becoming a senior arcanist, he would have such a different kind of "battle", but in front of Thorne and Cliff, he couldn't say some words too harshly.
But even with such "gentle" "guidance", the group of hunters couldn't stand it anymore, especially when they mentioned that the other party was imitating the elves, the leader even drew his sword and pointed it at Xia Duo.
Although he didn't launch any long-range attacks, Sha Duo could still feel the coldness in the opponent's cold eyes.
"No, if this is too exciting, won't all the melee fighters come at me in a while?"
Xia Duo wanted to ask Thorne if he could re-enter the plane to hide, but in the end he couldn't tell him.
Fortunately, under Cliff's constant attacks, a total of twelve hunters have been reduced by three, and among the remaining nine, except for the leader, the rest are not in good condition.
If it really comes to a close fight, his side has no chance of winning.
