At the same time, at the North Pole, within the wall of the world.
A bullet passed by Ivan and scratched a scar on the face of the half-dragon boy.
But it was just a superficial injury, which did not affect Ivan's actions at all, nor could it sap his fighting spirit.
Hawkeye Boken still fired one shot and moved to another place. As soon as he finished the attack, he immediately escaped from the hiding place and hid in the next bush.
Ivan had no choice but to judge the general direction of his opponent based on the force of his previous attack. The enemy was in the dark and he was in the light, so the situation was very unfavorable. In addition, the range of the two guns in his hands was not far, and he could not use the full range of the two guns unless he got close to a certain distance.
power.
The problem is that the closer to Boken, the more dangerous Ivan is. Ivan can also use the Eagle Eye technique to instantly detect the light bullets fired from a long distance and dodge them.
If the opponent shoots without warning at a distance of thirty or even ten yards, it will be much more difficult for the half-dragon boy to dodge.
Moreover, if Boken shoots and moves to another place, Yiwen Mouran will definitely be ambushed if he rushes forward.
Ivan is also a gunner, and he is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of equipment and combat experience. If he wants to win this duel, he must use something that can offset his disadvantage.
For example, magic.
------About seven hours ago, Brindisi Castle.
"What? Teach you magic?" Merlin put down the spoon in his hand. He was disturbed while eating dinner, and his face was obviously unhappy: "You know we are going to fight on the wall of the world soon, right? Only now
It’s more meaningful to have a good rest when you’re ready to sharpen your weapons.”
"I know. But ---" Ivan paced back and forth in Merlin's research room uneasily, "The last battle made me aware of a problem, a flaw in my ability."
"Loophole? How is that possible?" The big mage smiled nonchalantly, "Your Eagle Eye Technique can see everything within a five-kilometer range, and your Mind Eye Technique allows you to predict all enemy attacks. You should be close to invincible."
If you focus on dodging, the enemy will not be able to hurt you at all."
"That's not necessarily true." The half-dragon boy frowned.
The mind's eye technique can detect the opponent's attack intention and predict the attack trajectory based on the enemy's hostility.
However, there are still some masters who use [Wuxin] in the world. When they attack, they can eliminate all hostility and render the Mind's Eye technique ineffective.
In this case, Ivan can still use the super vision of Eagle Eye to catch the opponent's attack. As long as he can clearly see the trajectory of the opponent's attack, it is still possible to dodge it.
The only problem is the ability to respond.
The shortest human neural response time is 0.1 second. In other words, even if you can see the opponent's attack plan, it still takes 0.1 second for the body to react and dodge the attack.
This delay of tenths of a second is enough to be fatal in some tense battles.
The half-dragon boy Ivan is most aware of his [weakness]. He does not have a strong self-healing ability like Arthur, nor does he have a strong body like Kai or Bedivere.
Simply put, he has nothing.
His body is no different from that of a human being, as fragile as glass. And the enemies he faces are becoming more and more powerful. The opponent can kill the half-dragon boy with just a slight touch of Yi Wen.
Considering all the circumstances, avoidance became his only means of reducing damage.
If there is no better way to avoid enemy attacks, the next battle will become more and more deadly.
After Ivan told Merlin his idea, he began to ask for details: "Can you teach me the [projection magic] that Arthur often used before? It's just miniature magic, I should be able to learn it easily, right?"
"No, that thing is not practical." Merlin shook his head, drank a few mouthfuls of the broth from the bowl, and then flipped through a scroll on the table, "Projection magic needs to be activated with the help of corpses in the venue, then
It is an extremely passive low-level magic. If the venue is not suitable, it will not be used at all. Moreover, with your qualifications, it will take at least a week to learn the magic."
Ivan frowned, not knowing whether Merlin was praising him or belittling him, so he could only continue to ask calmly: "Isn't there a better magic trick?"
The mage shrugged, and the corners of his mouth tilted upwards at an even higher angle: "Yes, yes. But illusions are not easy to learn. It would not take a year or a half for an illusion to be applied in actual combat after being learned from the beginning.
---Give up, don't worry about it. When this war is over, if you still want to learn, I can teach you. But that will happen in the future."
Ivan was stunned for a while and stopped pacing uneasily.
Then, he showed his unprecedented stubbornness: "No. I must learn now. I have had a strange uneasy feeling since noon today."
I always feel...if I don't improve my usual tactics immediately, I might die in this war. ---My intuition tells me so."
"Intuition?" Merlin put down the scroll and looked at Ivan coldly, "Intuition again. Are you infected by Arthur?"
The half-dragon boy remained unmoved: "I just want to buy more insurance. Arthur's intuition is always accurate, right? --- Well, by the way, what kind of scroll is that in your hand?"
"Is this it?" Merlin couldn't help but stretched out his hand to play with the ancient scroll and said scornfully: "This is borrowed from the library of Rome. The Romans used some very interesting ancient magic, although it was of little practical significance.
It's just some little tricks."
Ivan turned his attention to the scroll. The ancient Latin text on the sheepskin scroll attracted the half-dragon boy's attention: "Can I borrow it for a look?"
But now, faced with Hawkeye Boken's sniper attack, Ivan dodged and approached the opponent while thinking about the time to activate his magic.
This magic is just a cover-up trick that will be seen through by the opponent immediately, so it can only be used once. If he cannot defeat the enemy with one blow, Ivan will have no way to win and can only die under Boken's gun.
A light bullet was fired, and Ivan dodged to the left. The light bullet grazed the half-dragon boy's cheek, leaving a scorching scar.
Hawkeye Boken ran out of the bushes, trying to hide in the next hiding place. Ivan also grasped Boken's current position and ran towards it. The distance between him and Boken was shortened to one hundred yards.
Boken's figure completely disappeared in the jungle. Under the cover of the dense jungle and the invisible magic, Ivan's eagle eye technique could not identify the location of his opponent. The half-dragon boy had to stop again and carefully identify the movements in the jungle.
Whoosh! Another luminous bullet came quickly, hitting the heart of the half-dragon boy. Ivan was already prepared, raised the pistol in his left hand and slashed it. The rapier on the gun tip hit the light bullet and bounced it away! Ivan simultaneously
He also grasped the location of Boken and ran to catch up with him!
Boken rolled out of the bushes. In order to prevent Ivan's pursuit, he fired three consecutive rounds of bullets while rolling!
Strike, strike, strike! The half-dragon boy drew out both spears at the same time, and the two stabbing swords drew several arcs to resist the oncoming light bullets.
However, this time Ivan did not block all the attacks perfectly. He only felt throbbing pain in his lower abdomen. A missed light bullet grazed his lower abdomen, leaving a wound about half an inch deep!
Ivan is only fifty yards away from Boken, it's time to use "that"!
At the same time, Boken saw that Ivan had entered the "inevitable range" and knew that the next moment would be the moment of life and death. He no longer had to hide. He set up a powerful sniper cannon and quickly took aim, planning to strike.
Blast the half-dragon boy’s head to pieces!
"Ha!" Ivan stepped on the ground first and activated a basic momentum magic!
Although it is the most basic magic, this momentum magic is used just right. It explodes on the ground and bursts out with a strong vibration!
The vibrations not only raised dust that dazzled everyone's view, but also spread along the ground, causing the muzzle of Hawkeye Boken's gun to flicker as he had just finished aiming!
Sir Boken frowned as his aim failed and took aim again. But Ivan had already hid in the dust and was difficult to see clearly!
Huh, naive. Boken sneered. He is proficient in the eagle eye technique, and he will not take this little dust in his eyes at all.
He had already seen the outline of Ivan clearly from the dust. The half-dragon boy was rushing straight towards Boken, with both guns in his hands ready to go!
Boken, on the other hand, raised his sniper rifle and aimed at the opponent's eyebrows, ready to hit Ivan in the head at any time!
"Haha!" The moment Ivan rushed out of the smoke, he also activated another magic.
It is a very simple vacuum magic that opens an extremely thin vacuum film in front of the user to increase the user's movement speed by reducing air resistance.
(This was a magic trick commonly used by the Romans when they were marching in a hurry.)
The sudden acceleration of Ivan really startled Boken. But the sudden change did not disrupt Hawkeye Boken's plan. Having experienced many battles, he was extremely calm and still aimed at Ivan's eyebrows and pulled the trigger!
Whoosh! The light bullet came out of the barrel at high speed and shot straight on the forehead of the half-dragon boy. With one shot to the head, Ivan should have fallen to the ground and died!
However, the half-dragon boy who was shot only slowed down a little and still rushed straight towards Sir Boken!
"What?" Upon seeing this, Hawkeye immediately took out his shotgun and fired at the oncoming half-dragon boy!
However, Ivan had already fired first, and the light bullets from both guns roared out, knocking the firearm out of Sir Hawkeye's hand before Boken could pull the trigger!
This defeat did not disrupt Sir Boken's thinking. He unhurriedly drew out the sword from his waist and stabbed Ivan in the chest.
He thought he could hit it, but the sword slipped past the left side of the half-dragon boy and made a small wound on the half-dragon boy's left arm!
Ivan raised his gun to block at the same time, and used the bayonet on his left hand pistol to deflect the opponent's sword blade.
Due to the force, he briefly lost his balance, and Hawkeye Boken showed a flaw for a moment!
Ivan had already taken out his lightsaber with lightning enchantment and slashed at Boken's left shoulder!
Touch! ------ It didn't work. Boken raised his left arm at the critical moment and blocked Ivan's attack with his arm armor! His arm armor seemed to be extra strengthened, extremely hard and equipped with powerful enchantments.
Can actually defend against lightsaber slashes!
However, the attack is not completely ineffective! Ivan's lightsaber carries thousands of volts of lightning, and the golden blade makes a crackling discharge sound. The current is transmitted from the opponent's arm armor into the body of the Emerald Knight, and the left hand of Hawkeye Boken is
I was paralyzed by the electricity! Boken’s left hand was disabled!
