"Lord Baron, the shadows have left no trace of their departure." Longsan Aaron reported to Todd solemnly but respectfully.
Todd gripped the long sword tightly and looked around warily.
It is gloomy and gloomy, full of earthy and rotten smells, tall black firs and all kinds of strange shrubs everywhere, not much different from other places deep in the Melzer Black Forest, the only conspicuous feature is a 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 rose in his heart, Todd slammed into Aaron, and the long sword swung upward with a faint bloody light. At the same time, the broken left hand of the iron glove shone with metal light, stretched rapidly and became long and became a square shield. rise.
When Aaron was knocked out by Todd, a figure in a white knight suit jumped down from a tall black fir tree, and she held up the long sword surrounding the silver-white electric snake and slashed down fiercely.
The crisp and loud sound of metal collisions was heard far away in the quiet forest. Todd's bloody long sword was directly split by Natasha with the help of the leaping force, and 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, who had been on guard for a long time, the shield turned into a silver-white liquid and then condensed again, but countless lightning lights flickered on his iron body, which made him a little paralyzed, and he couldn't take advantage of the moment Natasha landed. fight back.
Seeing that she failed to kill Aaron in a surprise attack, Natasha was not greedy, so she 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 fight just now that she hadn't fully recovered. Can defend against her heavy blows even when being attacked!
Moreover, her escape immediately after the surprise attack also showed that her deduction was correct, and she might even recover briefly with some kind of potion, so she wanted to kill Longsan Aaron, who had the special ability of tracking, in a surprise attack to get rid of the tracking completely.
Todd, who was like a steel golem, ran in big strides, closing the distance between him and Natasha. As long as Natasha could be killed, Aaron who stayed here would not be killed by another knight at all. care.
The two chased and fled, and soon disappeared into the dense forest.
And after Aaron was knocked into the air by Todd, he rolled in mid-air and landed steadily on the ground, but another black figure in the canopy of another tall black fir pounced down holding a long sword shining with cold light.
※※※
After Todd chased Natasha for more than ten seconds, the distance between the two was getting closer and closer, which made him feel more at ease. Her strength had recovered to the normal level five at most. The long sword, in addition to relying on the power of the fall, also because the Thunder Sword can raise her strength to the same level as her own. But now, she, who is usually more coordinated and faster than herself, can't even run behind her!
Seeing that she was about to catch up behind Natasha, Natasha suddenly turned around, holding the hilt of the Thunder Sword with both hands, and swung it out as a two-handed sword.
Todd blocked the shield with his left hand and the long sword with his right hand. After the loud metal collision sound, he successfully blocked the thunder sword, and the seamless gap from the blood power of the "Sword of Truth" did not penetrate his shield.
After this fight, Todd was more confident, holding up the "steel" shield and waving the bloody long sword to meet him.
Natasha didn't back down either, and her silver-gray eyes focused on Todd again, chopping, slashing, and attacking with the hilt of her sword, as if she had forgotten the purpose of drawing Todd away and going back.
The two fought fiercely, and the sound of the long swords clashing was like thunder, and the air waves caused the surrounding bushes, small stones, and partially rotten black fir to fly backwards. The trees were either chopped off in half, or scorched black by the lightning.
After blocking Natasha's onslaught for a while, Todd started to counterattack in a normal pace, and cut quite a few shallow wounds on Natasha's body, but Natasha's attack after bleeding and injury did not become more fierce and powerful. Still maintain the previous rhythm and strength.
"Can't the more serious the injury, the stronger the strength?" Todd sneered coldly, "It seems that your highness recovered part of your strength by stimulating your blood again and combining medicine! How long can this recovery last? Do you think you Can you beat me?"
Although his strength is the strongest in the same level, but his own blood determines that he is a great knight who is good at defense rather than attack, so he has a good ability to keenly observe and provoke the opponent's emotions.
And Todd really hated Natasha's mutated bloodline ability. If it weren't for the explosive power of the more seriously injured, the stronger the strength, with the "Shield of Truth" that is best at defense, how could Earl Verdi die in less than ten seconds? She broke through head-on. Of course, the most important reason was that the attack of the Holy Light at the critical moment shook Earl Verdi's will. Otherwise, even if Natasha's strength became stronger, she would still be blocked for at least a minute!
Natasha slashed down with her long sword, but was barely blocked by Todd. She sneered and said, "Hey, it won't be long before I can defeat you head-on!"
Todd swung his long sword and slashed at Natasha's left shoulder, but was blocked by her hilt retracted heavily: "If it weren't for the annoying lightning damage and paralysis effect, I would have killed you!"
His ironization was restrained by the side effects of the "Thunder Sword". It even triggered a real bolt of lightning just now, which almost hit him. As a result, an unlucky cedar tree was completely scorched black.
Natasha did not quarrel with him, but concentrated on attacking and defending. Since she started knight training, although she has experienced forest training, hunting training, fighting monster training, combat training, and faith training, she has undergone formal church knight training. I have actually been on the battlefield and killed heretics before, but I have never been in such a dangerous situation and a battle where I am at a disadvantage.
Whether it was the previous spear attack that defeated Verdi or the current hand-to-hand combat with Todd, while bringing her great danger, it also gave her precious combat "wealth", which not only sharpened and strengthened her own will, but also gave her This gave him the opportunity to thoroughly understand and master his own bloodline.
Relying on her top bloodline and her own fighting talent, Natasha, who has grown up to be close to the rank of a sky knight, feels that she has never truly controlled her body like this before. Chopping, with every retreat and dodge without chaotic steps, the blood and flesh are more and more synchronized, and it seems that there are signs of gradually blending with the will of "never give up, always move forward".
Amidst the clashing sounds of clanging long swords, Todd gradually realized that something was wrong. The Natasha in front of him did not become weaker as he expected. Although her strength and speed did not increase, she was cohesive in both her momentum and her spirit. signs, giving people a strange sense of oppression.
Natasha didn't forget the time limit, but she wasn't afraid, she didn't fear, she devoted herself to the battle, and the violent attack and slash of a sword seemed to straighten out the messy blood in her body.
※※※
Lucien held "Vigilance" and slashed at Aaron from the sky, the metal light of the long sword was sharp and cold.
Aaron didn't have time to dodge, the black dagger held in his right hand was accurately placed on the edge of the long sword, and at the same time, his left hand, which was burning with black shadow flames, punched Lucien's abdomen with a fist.
Pa, the black dagger is made of a special material, and the two weapons only made a dull sound when they collided. The moonlit Lucien twisted his waist in mid-air and jumped to the side, avoiding Aaron's fist.
"It's you? A quasi knight dares to surprise me?" Aaron recognized Lucien, smirked and swung his dagger and rushed forward. Even though Lucien was good at speed and agility, he was better than him, let alone strength. , Physique and Shadow Flame!
Holding the vigilant long sword, Lucien sealed Aaron's dagger with its length and speed, but the shadow flames wrapped around his dagger showed signs of corroding the long sword.
Aaron didn't attack by force, but turned into a shadow, and started fighting around Lucien. But even though relying on the strength that completely overwhelmed Lucien and his rich combat experience, he created many opportunities to directly attack Lucien's body, but he would stop at the first touch, only cut his clothes and left a wound, then stopped and returned. There is no pursuit of victory.
The reason why he used this fighting method was because he was not a fool. Lucien dared to attack him with a strength far weaker than his own, either because he had to do it in a desperate situation, or because he had a way to kill him.
Reminiscing that Lord Earl Verdi was defeated by Natasha because of this kid's magic item attack, and almost died under her sword, Aaron became very jealous, afraid that Lucien still had something that could be used on him. Magic or divine items, so he has been fighting without any pause, so as to avoid being locked by extraordinary items, and when the magic is issued, there is a certain room for dodge, and the small wounds are still slowly weakening Lucien .
Those small wounds healed quickly under Yueguanghua's good self-healing ability, but the shadow flames were like black maggots that burrowed hard into Lucien's body, sucking on Lucien's body before disappearing. Physical strength, strength and spirit made Lucien weak.
In addition, Aaron chose a very special location where extraordinary items were worn, so the clothes on Lucien's chest were broken, revealing the "Crown of the Sun" that looked like the Holy Emblem of Truth, and the belt was cut off and fell directly on the on the ground.
Glancing at the holy emblem of the cross surrounded by the rays of the sun, and the metal ring inlaid with crystal sapphires on Lucien's left hand, Aaron thought with a little jealousy: "This kid actually has a magic item, a divine item. , An extraordinary long sword, what a waste! I have worked so hard for so many years, but I only have a weak dagger bestowed by Earl Verdi, could it be that he is Natasha's little lover?"
Jealousy didn't affect Aaron's judgment. The light of the two items was abnormally dim. Either they had exhausted their supernatural power and hadn't recovered, or there were only one or two attacks or defenses left.
Therefore, Aaron's attacks became fiercer, trying to guide Lucien to activate supernatural items, but under his flood of attacks, although Lucien was crumbling, there was no sign of using magic or divine arts.
"Could it be that the power of the extraordinary item is really used up?"
As time passed, Lucien became weaker and weaker. His steps became chaotic, his ankle twisted, and he fell directly in front of the strange boulder. With his right hand propped in the dirt, his long sword flew out.
Unable to let go of this opportunity, Aaron bypassed Lucien's left hand and chest, jumped over from his right side, and stabbed him in the head with a dagger. Whether it was a holy emblem or a ring, an attack from this angle 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.
Seeing the dagger burning and slowly piercing through the shield, Aaron was suddenly surprised, because the two magic items did not flash, and the fluctuation of the magic round shield seemed to originate from Lucien's body.
"He knows a ring of magic?! He is a magician?!"
Countless flashes of the past flashed by, and Aaron looked at Lucien's handsome face with a chuckle in horror: "Professor?!"
Lucien took out his right hand that was stuck in the mud, holding a dark red bracelet. It suddenly burst into a strong flame light, swallowing Aaron who was trying to shadow and knocking him away.
"Goodbye, Mr. Aaron." Lucien smiled and nodded.
The third-level high-level magic item "Fireweaver's Bracelet", which comes from the magic apprentice Fire Wolf, has been buried here by Lucien, and unexpectedly came in handy today.
This bracelet woven with "edelweiss" has two magics added: "Second-ring magic, sun protection (twice a day); three-ring magic, fireball (twice a day)."
The head-sized fireball wrapped Aaron's upper body, exploded and burned violently, and when Aaron landed, only half of his body was left.
Lucien stood up holding the "Fireweaver's Bracelet". At this moment, Natasha's familiar voice suddenly sounded in surprise: "Professor?!"
Turning her head suddenly, Natasha was standing there in a daze on the edge of the black forest not far away, holding the Thunder Sword shining with lightning.
