"Lord Baron, there are no traces of their departure left in the shadows." Longsang Aaron reported to Todd solemnly but respectfully.
Todd held the sword tightly and looked around warily.
The place is gloomy and dark, full of earthy and rotten smells. It is full of tall black firs and various strange shrubs and plants. It is not much different from other places deep in the Melzer Black Forest. The only conspicuous feature is a piece of slightly special shape.
boulder.
"There is no river here, how can they avoid the shadows? Unless, it's not good!"
As soon as the thought in his mind came to mind, Todd slammed into Aaron and slashed upward with a faint bloody light. At the same time, the broken left hand of the iron glove flashed with metallic light, stretched rapidly and became a square shield.
rise.
When Aaron was knocked out by Todd, a figure in a white knight's uniform jumped down from a tall black fir tree. She held up the long sword surrounding the silver-white electric snake and struck hard.
The clear and loud sound of metal collisions was heard far away in the quiet forest. Todd's bloody sword was split open by Natasha with the help of her downward leap. A crack in the void appeared on the steel shield formed by his body.
Almost cut it off.
But Todd finally blocked Natasha's surprise attack.
And he was already on guard. His shield turned into a silver-white liquid and then condensed again. However, countless electric lights crackled on his steel body, making him slightly paralyzed. He was unable to take advantage of Natasha's landing.
Fight back.
Seeing that she failed to kill Aaron in a surprise attack, Natasha was not greedy and turned around and fled quickly to the other side of the black forest.
After Todd got rid of the paralysis, he decisively followed Natasha's back. Although he was surprised why Natasha suddenly burst into level five strength, he could feel from the previous fight that she had not fully recovered.
Even if you are attacked, you can defend against her heavy blows!
Moreover, her immediate escape after the surprise attack also showed that her deduction was correct. It was even possible that she only relied on some kind of medicine to recover briefly, so she had to make a surprise attack to kill Longsang Aaron, who had the specialty of tracking, to completely get rid of the trace.
Todd, who was like a steel golem, ran with great strides, closing the distance between him and Natasha. As long as he could kill Natasha, he didn't care whether Aaron who stayed here would be killed by another knight.
care.
The two of them chased each other and quickly disappeared into the dense forest.
After Aaron was knocked away by Todd, he rolled in mid-air and landed firmly on the ground, but another black figure jumped down from the crown of another tall black fir tree holding a long sword that shone with cold light.
…………
After Todd chased Natasha for more than ten seconds, the distance between the two became closer and closer, which made him even more reassured. Her strength had returned to normal level five at most. The reason why she was able to split his own
The long sword, in addition to relying on the power of falling, is also because the thunder sword can increase her strength to a level similar to her own. But now, she, who is usually more coordinated and faster than herself, can't outrun him!
Just as she was about to catch up with Natasha, Natasha suddenly turned around, holding the hilt of the Thunder Sword with both hands, and slashed it out like a two-handed sword.
Todd blocked with the shield in his left hand and the long sword in his right hand. After a loud metal collision, he successfully blocked the Thunder Sword. The void gap from the bloodline power of the "Sword of Truth" did not penetrate his shield.
After this fight, Todd became more confident and faced him with a "steel" shield and a bloody sword.
Natasha did not step back, and once again turned her silver-gray eyes to stare at Todd intently. She kept slashing, slashing, and attacking with the hilt of her sword, as if she had forgotten the purpose of luring Todd away and going back.
The two fought fiercely, and the sound of the swords clashing was like thunder. The air waves set off caused the surrounding shrubs, small stones and partially rotten black firs to fly backwards. The tall people within the range of their fighting
The trees were either cut in half or scorched black by lightning.
After blocking Natasha's fierce attack, Todd started to counterattack with regular steps, and made many shallow wounds on Natasha's body. However, Natasha's attacks did not become more ferocious and powerful after she was bleeding and injured.
Still maintaining the previous rhythm and strength.
"Don't you think the more injured you are, the stronger you become?" Todd mocked coldly, "It seems that, Princess, you have recovered part of your strength by re-stimulating your blood and combining it with potions! How long can such recovery last? Do you think you can
Can you defeat me?"
Although his strength is among the strongest at the same level, his bloodline determines that he is a great knight who is better at defense than attack, so he has good ability to observe keenly and stir up the emotions of his opponents.
And Todd really hates Natasha's mutated bloodline ability. If he didn't have the explosive power that becomes stronger the more he is injured, and the "Shield of Truth" that is best at defense, how could Count Verdi have died in less than ten seconds?
Of course, the most important reason for her frontal breakthrough was that the holy light strike that appeared at the critical moment shook Count Verdi's will. Otherwise, even if Natasha's strength became stronger, she would still be blocked for at least one minute!
Natasha slashed hard with her long sword, but Todd barely blocked it. She sneered: "Hey, it won't be long before I can defeat you head-on!"
Todd raised his sword and slashed at Natasha's left shoulder, but she retracted the hilt and blocked it with a heavy impact: "If it weren't for the nasty lightning damage and paralysis effect, I would have killed you!"
His steel transformation was very restrained by the side effects of the "Thunder Sword". It even triggered a real lightning just now, which almost hit him. As a result, an unlucky cedar tree was completely scorched black.
Natasha did not argue with him, but concentrated on attacking and defending. Since the beginning of knight training, although she has gone through forest training, hunting training, monster fighting training, combat training, faith training and other formal church knight training processes,
I have actually been on the battlefield and killed heretics, but I have never been in such a dangerous situation and a battle at a disadvantage like today.
Whether it was the previous lance attack that defeated Verdi or the current hand-to-hand battle with Todd, it not only brought her great danger, but also gave her precious combat "wealth", which not only sharpened and strengthened her own will, but also had
An opportunity to fully understand and master one’s own bloodline.
Natasha, who relied on her top bloodline and her own fighting talent to grow up to a level close to the Sky Knight, felt that she had never truly controlled her body like she does now. With every slash of the long sword in danger, Natasha
Cutting, with every step of steady retreat and dodge, the blood and body are becoming more and more synchronized, and there seems to be signs of gradual integration with the will of "never give up, always move forward".
Amidst the clinking sounds of long swords, Todd gradually realized that something was wrong. Natasha in front of him did not become weaker with each battle as he expected. Although her strength, speed, etc. had not improved, her momentum and spirit were still concentrated.
signs, giving people a strange sense of oppression.
Natasha did not forget the time limit, but she was not afraid or scared. She devoted herself wholeheartedly to the battle. The wild attacks and slashes of her sword seemed to straighten out the messy blood vessels in her body.
…………
Lucien held "Vigilance" in his hand and struck Aaron from the sky. The metal of the sword shone sharply and coldly.
Aaron had no time to dodge, and the black dagger held in his right hand was placed accurately on the edge of the long sword. At the same time, the fist burning with black shadow flames struck Lucien in the abdomen.
Bang, the black dagger was made of a special material, and the two weapons clashed with only a dull sound. Lucien, who was transformed into moonlight, twisted his waist and jumped to the side in mid-air, avoiding Aaron's fist.
"Is it you? A would-be knight dares to attack me?" Aaron recognized Lucien, and charged at him with a dagger. Even though Lucien was good at speed and agility, he was still better than him, let alone strength.
, constitution and shadow flame!
Lucien held the vigilant sword, relying on its length and speed to seal Aaron's dagger, but the shadow flames wrapped around his dagger showed signs of corroding the sword.
Aaron did not attack, but turned into a shadow and started fighting around Lucien. But even with his overwhelming strength and rich combat experience, he created many opportunities to directly attack Lucien's body.
He retreated at the first touch. He only cut his clothes and left a wound, then stopped and returned without taking advantage of the victory.
The reason why he used this fighting method was because he was not a fool. Lucien dared to attack him even though he was far weaker than him, either because he had to do it in a desperate situation, or because he had a way to kill him.
Thinking again that Count Verdi was defeated by Natasha because of this kid's magical item attack and almost died under her sword, Aaron became very afraid, fearing that Lucien still had something he could use.
Magic or divine items, so he kept fighting without any pause, so as to avoid being locked by extraordinary items. When the magic was released, he would have some room to dodge, and the small wounds were slowly weakening Lucien.
.
Those small wounds recovered quickly due to Yueguanghua's excellent self-healing ability, but the shadow flames were like black maggots burrowing into Lucien's body, sucking Lucien's flesh before disappearing.
Physical strength, strength and spirit made Lucien weak.
Moreover, the locations where Aaron chose to attack were very special, as they were all places where extraordinary items were worn. So Lucien's chest clothes were torn apart, revealing the "Crown of the Sun" that looked like the Holy Emblem of Truth, and his belt was also cut off, falling directly on the
On the ground.
Taking a look at the holy emblem of the cross surrounded by the sun's rays, and the metal ring inlaid with crystal sapphire that Lucien wore on his left hand, Aaron thought a little jealously: "This kid actually has a magic item, a magical item.
, an extraordinary long sword, what a waste! I have worked hard for so many years, but only a weak dagger was given by Count Verdi. Is he Natasha's little lover? "
Jealousy did not affect Aaron's judgment. The light of the two items dimmed abnormally. Either they had exhausted their supernatural power and had not recovered, or they only had one or two attacks or defenses left.
Therefore, Aaron's attacks began to become fierce, trying to guide Lucien to activate extraordinary items. However, under his flood of attacks, Lucien was crumbling, but there was no sign of using magic or divine magic.
"Has the power of extraordinary items really been used up?"
As time went by, Lucien became weaker and weaker. His steps were messed up, his ankle was twisted, and he fell directly in front of the strange boulder. His right hand was stuck in the soil, and the sword flew out.
Unable to miss this opportunity, Aaron bypassed Lucien's left hand and chest, rushed towards him from the right side of his body, and stabbed his head with a dagger. Whether it was a holy symbol or a ring, an attack from this angle would
If you go down, you can only hit yourself first!
Suddenly, a thin layer of bright round shield lit up on Lucien's body, blocking Aaron's black dagger.
Watching the dagger burning and slowly piercing the shield, Aaron was suddenly surprised, because the two magic items did not flash, and the fluctuations of the magic buckler seemed to originate from Lucien's body.
"He knows a ring of magic?! He is a magician?!"
Countless past events flashed by in a blink of an eye, and Aaron looked at Lucien's handsome face as he chuckled in horror:
"professor?!"
Lucien took out his right hand that was stuck in the soil, holding a dark red bracelet. It suddenly burst out with a strong flame light, swallowing up Aaron who was trying to turn into a shadow, and knocked him away.
"Goodbye, Mr. Aaron." Lucien smiled and nodded.
The three-level high-level magic item "Fireweaver's Bracelet" comes from the magic apprentice Fire Wolf and has been buried here by Lucien. Unexpectedly, it will come in handy today.
This bracelet woven with "edelweiss" is attached with two magics: "Second-ring magic, Sun Flame Protection (twice a day); Third-ring magic, Fireball (twice a day)."
A fireball the size of a head enveloped Aaron's upper body, violently exploding and burning. When Aaron landed, only half of his body was left.
Lucien stood up holding the "Fireweaver's Bracelet". At this time, Natasha's familiar voice suddenly sounded in surprise:
"professor?!"
Turning her head suddenly, not far away from the edge of the black forest, Natasha stood there blankly holding a thunder sword that shone with lightning. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to register as a member of Piaotian Literature and recommend it.
