Chapter 71 Aren’t you in a hurry to use the props?
The attacking shadow beast that appeared from the darkness seems to hate the firelight released by the lantern, so it always lingers at the junction of light and darkness, seeming to be hesitant to launch an attack. But this is just a disguise. If you look carefully
Observing those cold scarlet eyes, you will find that they have always been fixed on the girl's body without shifting for a moment, and there is a fierce and violent blood light flashing in them.
Oveira held the Holy Sword of Broken Steel in her hand, and the pale blue crystal sword reflected the girl's stiff face. Although Alice had been comforting her, saying that it was just a little monster at the door of her house, and he could kill it with two or three swords.
There is no need to be so scared... But facing such a ferocious enemy for the first time, Her Royal Highness the Princess of Beimang Kingdom still couldn't help but feel nervous, and even her breathing was a little stagnant.
After this silent confrontation lasted for about a few seconds, it was finally the more arrogant Strike Shadow Beast that could no longer hold back. The innate ferocity in its bones was urging it to destroy the enemy in front of it as quickly as possible and swallow blood and fire.
The burning ashes returned everything to the silence of eternal darkness. So it chose to follow the instinct, lowered its forelimbs slightly, exerted force with the two claws pressing on the stone bricks, and rolled at the same time deep in its throat.
A low, thunderous roar came out:
"Oh!"
Alice's voice sounded in Olvera's mind: "Get away!"
The girl had no time to think, and almost subconsciously made a dodge movement, moving her body to the side. At the same time, a jet-black stream of light passed by the place where she was standing, very fast, and two beast claws burning with jet-black flames
With an astonishing momentum like thunder, he pounced hard, but he fell into the empty space.
The shadow beast that looked like a tiger and a leopard landed on the ground. Due to the kinetic energy carried by the long-distance attack, it jumped forward a few steps uncontrollably and fell into a brief state of stiffness. At this time, Olvera had already turned around and was in
Under Alice's command, she waved the holy sword in her hand at it: "Cut it!"
The crystal-like elegant and smooth sword shape became a murderous weapon at this moment. Although the sword was edgeless, the sharp blade swept across it, tearing open the dark carapace covering the surface, and penetrated deep into the flesh and bone, leaving a hideous wound.
The shadow beast, which had nowhere to hide, immediately let out a painful cry.
Olvera's head was blank, but her steps moved forward automatically. She used the remaining momentum after swinging the sword to retract the sword's edge, drew a beautiful half arc in the air, and then slashed it down again from the other direction, finally getting rid of the stiff state.
The carapace covering the shadow beast's body was completely shattered, turning into countless black fragments and falling on the floor. Without the protection of the carapace, the opponent's fragile body was completely exposed to the sharp edge of the holy sword's broken steel. The girl was helpless.
As Shi Zitong advanced forward, the sword edge passed the shadow beast's body for the third time, intersecting with the original scar, forming an X-shaped mark.
The shadow beast, which had already fallen into a state of residual health, roared miserably, opened its huge mouth and bit the girl. A pair of sharp daggers pointed directly at the fragile neck, and a deep chill could be vaguely smelled. But Ovela
But without any hesitation, he turned forward, stepped hard on the cold stone bricks with his long-booted feet, twisted the hilt of the sword with both hands, and used the force of his body rotation to smash the blue giant sword.
Falling down, the speed from top to bottom was even faster than the fangs of the shadow beast, and it struck the opponent's waist fiercely, splitting it into two with irresistible force, and countless filth spewed out from the torn fracture.
of dark blood.
The few remaining blood bars on the top of the shadow beast's head were directly emptied by this sword. The blood in Sen Leng's eyes instantly dimmed, and his body lost all strength and fell softly to the ground. Accompanied by several miserable screams
After whimpering, its unwilling eyes slowly closed. The body that previously contained terrifying and brutal power melted into countless pitch-black mist, as if corroding in the stomach of a giant beast, and completely dissipated in the flickering light of the lantern.
.
"Hoo, ho!"
Olvera still maintained the same posture as when she swung her sword to cut off the shadow beast. After taking a few quick breaths, she finally regained control of her body. She straightened up blankly and murmured: "I won."
?"
"Yeah, you won, and you didn't even lose any blood. I told you, the monsters at your door are pretty good, so there's no need to be so nervous."
"But, how did I win?" Ovela, the person involved, looked confused: "What was that sword technique just now? I have never learned it before, but my body started to move on its own..."<
/p>
"That's not a swordsmanship, it's a basic combo."
"Eh?"
"Basic combos are the moves that come with the weapon, and you don't need to learn them before you can use them. The basic combo of Holy Sword - Broken Steel Oath is three light strikes followed by one heavy strike. The damage of light strikes is relatively low, but there is no backswing; heavy strikes
The damage of the attack is very high, but there is a backlash. For a mob like the one just now, you only need to dodge its first wave of attacks and then kill it with a basic combo. Do you understand?"
"...No." Olvera looked at the holy sword in her hand with disbelief and murmured: "Being able to control a person's body and use such exquisite swordsmanship, the proficiency is not inferior to someone with twenty years of combat experience.
A palace swordsman, such a magical weapon is like a holy relic, it is incredible."
"Ah, so I told you that it's not some exquisite swordsmanship, it's just a basic combo..." Alice wanted to scratch her hair, but she had no body now, so she couldn't do this habitual action, so she gave up: "
Whatever you think is fine, let’s take a look at what props the guy dropped just now."

"Fall?"
Olvera bent down and picked up a flame-shaped crystal from the place where the shadow beast turned into black mist. It felt like solidified amber, with a smooth surface and a gem-like texture that was unimaginable.
It's something that fell from the body of such a ferocious and evil beast.
[The ashes of the remaining fire: After the shadow of darkness fades away, the remaining remains can still feel some warmth. Perhaps it is the memory that the people of the past placed their hope on. After use, restore 100 HP, or put it into the remaining fire.
Extinguishing the fire source can extend the burning time by 5 minutes.]
Can the burning time of the residual fire source be extended?
Olivia's eyes lit up, and she was about to throw the "ashes of the fire" into the lantern without hesitation, but Alice stopped her: "Don't be so anxious, didn't you see that it has the effect of restoring blood?
”
"But, my HP is still full..."
"The remaining fire source still has 27 minutes of use time." Alice said: "Save it for now and use it when needed. This is not a turn-based system anyway, and using props does not require action times." Olvera thought for a while, and it seemed that this was indeed the case, so she did not insist on it anymore. She put [The Ashes of the Remaining Fire] in the toolbar, then held the holy sword - Broken Steel Oath, and continued to move deeper into the corridor. The lantern was scattered.
The firelight opened up a warm area in the deep darkness that could not be seen, like an isolated island of light drifting in the black ocean, slowly but surely swimming through the dark depths of the storm.
The sword-wielding girl on the isolated island is cautiously following the direction of the light, bravely opening a path to the future.
