Starting from the third-floor corridor, the battle venue is obviously much wider. The corridor has been widened enough to accommodate two carriages traveling side by side. This gives Oveira more room to play, but it also makes the shadow beast in the darkness more vulnerable.
Attacks are more subtle and difficult to guard against.
Two new monster types have been added to this layer. One is a huge gray-black fungus, which often grows in the dark places at the base of walls or in corners. It looks weird. The strain has four huge mouths on the front, back, left, and right, with a grinning mouth.
Its mouth is full of sharp fangs, and a miserable rotten green mist emerges from the outside; the fungus cap soaked with pus is densely covered with gun barrel-like jets, which can flexibly change the direction and angle. From a distance, it looks like a piece of rotten meat.
Countless pairs of compound eyes are turning, ugly and disgusting.
As the name suggests, this [turret-type shadow beast], which Alice calls the "Big Squirt", is a turret fixed in place. When the enemy enters the shooting range, it will spit corrosive acid mist and launch gray-white mycelium balls to attack.
Attack. Since you can't move, as long as you avoid the first few waves of shots, you can easily deal with them once you get up close.
But the places where they grow often gather many other types of shadow beasts, relying on the forts behind them to launch offensives against the enemy. Covered by a hail of bullets, the threat is even greater. Therefore, it is no less difficult to eliminate these guys than to capture a well-defended building.
A defensive fortress.
At first, when she only had the holy sword to break steel, Ovela might have found it tricky. But now, she only needs to stand at a suitable distance and release "continuous chant", and then she can happily pour out magic and attack the enemy.
The reverse bombing suppressed it.
Generally speaking, after two rounds of magic, these mushroom turrets and some shadow beasts with low HP and low defense will be eliminated first and turn into black mist. After that, Ovela switches to the holy sword Broken Steel to deal with the remaining ones.
Those enemies with relatively high HP, but are at the end of their game.
Except for not being familiar with their attack methods at the beginning and suffering a small loss, these guys failed to cause more trouble to Olvera's progress.
There is also a new enemy, which is a flying insect-shaped shadow beast with curved blade legs that look like a giant scythe, its body covered with a pitch-black maw, and six pairs of transparent cicada wings on its back. Alice calls it the "Flying Mantis". Of course
, its real name should be [Assassination Shadow Beast].
As the name suggests, their attack methods are exactly the same as those of assassins. They use darkness to conceal their whereabouts, cover their aura, and wait patiently for the opportunity to come. When the enemy passes through their territory and exposes their backs unpreparedly, they will quietly attack
Vibrating cicada wings, gliding from low altitude at high speed, the two pairs of giant scythes in front of it were crossed and erected, and struck at the enemy's weak points with lightning speed.
After a blow, no matter whether they hit the enemy or not, or what the result is, they will turn back into the darkness without hesitation and continue to lurk, waiting for the next opportunity.
Because they were so fast, it was difficult for Ovela's magic to lock on to them. She fired the wind blade several times, but it only cut through the phantoms left behind by their high-speed movement. The only time they were sure to hit was when they flew out of the darkness.
The moment when the giant scythe is swung upon a raid, it is fleeting. If you don’t have the keenest combat intuition, it may be difficult to capture it.
At least, Olvera tried several times without success. The closest one was just a hair's breadth away, causing the sharp edge of the broken steel of the holy sword to brush against the transparent cicada wings that were constantly vibrating behind them.
In the end, it still landed in the empty space, which made the princess suddenly feel depressed that her strength had nowhere to pour.
It doesn't matter if she loses. She also has the magical skill of rolling to dodge. The mobs that spawn on the road hardly pose any threat to her, but the repeated harassment is really annoying.<
/p>
"Switch weapons." Alice gave timely advice: "I feel like using the Holy Lock is more appropriate."
"Holy Lock..."
Olivia's thoughts moved slightly, and the holy sword in her hand disappeared, replaced by a sacred golden chain. One end was wrapped around her forearm, and the other end was connected to a huge sharp brass pendulum, like a rhombus.
It trembled slightly like crystal. Chains more than twenty meters long were densely packed throughout the space, hitting the floor like light, and then refracted back from the walls and ceiling, forming a complex and sophisticated metal network.
And Olvera is the web weaver, standing in the center of this golden web, alert to attacks that may come at any time in the darkness, and asking in a low voice: "How to use this weapon?"
"This is it."
Although Alice is the designer of the combat system, her understanding of weapons is obviously not as good as its owner, so she decisively throws the blame away: "Let's ask Saint Shalia."
There was silence in my mind for a while, and then the clear and indifferent voice of the shepherd girl came: "See through, fight back...concentrate, empty your thoughts, feel with your heart, not with your naked eyes, and use the guidance given by the thread of fate, you can
See through the enemy's offensive, capture the most critical moment in a blink of an eye, and counterattack. Victory or defeat is only in an instant. The more you pursue the precise release of the line, the more patience you need..."
"I said stop, stop, stop!"
Alice couldn't help but interrupt her: "I don't understand, Saint Shalia, can't you explain it in more concise and clear terms?"
There was another moment of silence, and then Saint Xalia said apologetically: "Sorry, Alice, I don't seem to be able to learn your way of speaking."
Whether it was the so-called combat system, numerical values, weapon mechanisms or skills, she could not understand it. Although she also had the relevant knowledge given by the game console in her mind, she could only interpret it in the way she understood, and could not do it like Lin
Like the grid, after simple learning, you can easily pick up various game terms.
Perhaps this is the innate difference in identity and personality.
"There's nothing we can do against you!" Alice sighed, and it was time for the genius player to appear again: "Give me some time, I will study the mechanism of this weapon. Before that, Oveira, you first have to talk to that
Let’s just play with the flying mantis...?”
She opened her eyes wide, as if she had seen something incredible.
Because Oveira suddenly lowered her head, the three teammates in the team (including one sheep) lost their vision. What the naked eye could see became narrow, and all they could see was that they seemed to be coated with a layer of light under the light of the lantern.
The remaining glow of floor stone tiles.
She muttered something: "Concentrate, empty your mind...not with the naked eye, but with your heart...the thread of fate, give guidance...see through it, and then fight back..."
If I go, she really believes it!?
Alice felt helpless and wanted to tell Olvera that "capturing the enemy's position with your heart" is something that can only be done in third-rate light novels, but it is impossible to do in reality...
Buzz—buzz—!
The low trembling sound, like the air vibrating the glass, suddenly penetrated into everyone's eardrums. It echoed so clearly that one can even imagine the scene when those transparent cicada wings vibrated the air. The chaotic airflow blew through
The space hits the giant metal mesh woven in the corridor, constantly refracting and turning, and through the transmission of the chains, everything around is reconstructed in a three-dimensional form in the eyes of the girl.
She seemed to be standing at a more transcendent angle, overlooking the things in the net from a high position, making all tiny things appear in detail, and the figure of the mantis shadow beast was naturally no exception. The other party was moving at a frequency of hundreds of times per second.
The transparent cicada wings trembled behind it, passing by at low altitude at high speed, and crashed into this net like a swift black lightning.
While maintaining high-speed movement, it still has amazing dexterity and agility, flying and flashing in the gaps between chains, easily avoiding the obstacles in front of it, and attacking towards Oveira. However, this
Dodging is doomed to be futile, because even if the body avoids the intercepting chains, the turbulent airflow caused by the trembling cicada wings behind it, the dust and haze spread when the body flies through the void, and even the cold murderous intent it inadvertently releases... will all...
Touch every thread that makes up this giant web, and through the conduction of the threads, update the information about its movement to the master who weaved this web.
In the three-dimensional map Ovela saw, its position was changing all the time, but it was also under control at all times.
Five meters.
Four meters.
Three meters.

Now!
The princess suddenly raised her head and saw a pair of huge black scythes crossing at her, tearing apart the cold air. However, time became extremely slow at this moment, as if the rushing water fell into a swamp, sluggish and stiff. This gave her enough
With only 10 seconds of reaction time, he easily turned to one side and dodged the attack from the enemy. At the same time, with a pull of his wrist, the network of chains covering the corridor was instantly closed, tightly entangled like countless sacred giant snakes.
Touch the enemy's body, causing it to moan in agony.
The flow of time did not return to normal until this moment. Olvera grabbed the chain with her backhand, swung it hard, and threw the assassination shadow beast that was tied to the chain, and hit it fiercely against the hard wall. Accompanied by a rumbling sound
There were loud noises and screams of grief and anger, the stone bricks shattered, and the pits were filled with cracks, which was ferocious and terrifying.
Olvera pulled hard again, and the chain was retracted. The brass pendulum at the end drove the enemy's body back. Its body had been seriously injured in the impact just now, and was in tatters, with no resistance. Princess
Take a step forward, switch to the holy sword, and slash down the powerless enemy in the air.
Kacha!
The crisp sound penetrated the dark armor and stomach covering the body, and the mantis shadow beast's body began to break from the middle, split in two, and fell to the ground slumped, turning into dark mist that rose and dissipated.
