The fog in the bamboo forest was misty, and the figure of the Reaper was like an invisible cloud, drifting silently towards Odin standing on the shrine.
And Odin launched at the same time, but instead of facing the enemy, he jumped high into the sky—
A dart fell in an uproar, randomly piercing into the ground.
The time was very short, but it was enough for Duke to see the distribution of the darts and dodge. He passed by a dart very close to him, and went straight to Odin who had nowhere to rely on in the sky.
Just as he approached the melee attack range, the black scythe had faintly marked Odin's forehead.
At this moment, Odin suddenly moved—
When the scythe was approaching, Odin instantly drew out his short sword and fought against it!
After a crisp clang, the scythe slowed down slightly, but Odin was not purely for fighting the sword, he got leverage through that moment of hand-to-hand—
"Windmill Company!" The female commentator yelled, "He obviously couldn't see Duke, how could he fight so accurately?"
The male commentator praised: "Odin's strategy is so beautiful! First, the steel wire determines the distance, and the darts force Duke to move, so that he can basically determine the position of Duke. If the calculation is correct, he can indeed fight instantly. This wave directly caught Duke off guard!"
Duke was indeed caught off guard, but he reacted fairly quickly, and immediately sneaked into the shadows again.
The black scythe originally fell in front of Odin, but disappeared instantly, and appeared behind him in the blink of an eye, cutting towards his back unabated.
Ordinary people will spend a certain amount of time to reconfirm the position of the new round of attacks in the face of sudden teleportation during an attack—just like many people have to look back while running away, this action actually slows down the speed at which they escape.
And this time is the best chance for Duke to succeed.
But what shocked him was that Odin never looked back to confirm!
Odin neatly crossed his dagger and dagger with his back on his back, protecting his back as much as possible—
He didn't waste time looking back, but reacted instantly defensively!
Only the most experienced close combat players can develop such an instinct, and this knowledge alone makes Duke's eyelids twitch.
The scythe hit the crossed blades helplessly.
Because the attacking position chosen by Duke was also expected by Odin, all holders of large two-handed weapons tended to attack the middle of the chest, which was the part with the highest hit rate.
Duke failed to predict any of Odin's moves as he hoped, but Odin often hit the core of his play.
The knife was resisted, and the male commentator said: "Duke is in trouble!"
Yes, the attack frequency of the sickle is very low. Swinging two knives in one second can be said to be overloaded, and swinging for a long time is very exhausting. This is also an important balance the system has made for this class.
Once the first cut that can disable people fails, the Reaper will face a direct melee confrontation, which is nothing at all—
But now he is not facing ordinary melee combat, but Odin!
What is the concept of Odin's frontal melee
So far, there have been more than a dozen fights without a defeat!
On average, it only takes a single-digit number of seconds to fight to the death of the opponent, and it is basically a one-to-one death. When fighting Odin in close combat, as long as you get caught in the knife fight and cannot get out immediately, you have basically declared death without a place to die!
Not only Duke, but almost all melee players have a clear basic understanding: Absolutely, absolutely, don't fight Odin.
The most typical way to get rid of the entanglement of melee combo opponents without fighting is to attack in a range, such as the windmill company.
Male commentator: "Duke is connected to the windmill, he wants to force Odin back!"
Female commentator: "He thinks that melee combat is too risky. Is he trying to use his professional characteristics to regain the advantage of the second ambush?"
Before the two of them finished speaking, they saw that the two contestants in the field were about to land from mid-air.
Odin deviated from the original position a little more, and fell directly from the air onto a strong bamboo. His whole body was like a long black shadow, causing the bamboo to bend under the force and bounce back up.
Then Odin activated the flash in an instant, and rushed into the Reaper in the windmill company!
In an instant, in the black mist in mid-air, countless shattered lights of knives flashed, and the figures of the two kept appearing and disappearing in the coiled mist. Judging from the sound of swords and swords intersecting, there were about seven or eight collisions in that second.
Male commentator: "It's too bold for Odin to go directly into the windmill company!"
Female commentator: "It can be seen that he was inevitably injured, but it also interrupted Duke's combo. Let's see who is the loser in this round of confrontation—"
In this second, everyone was waiting with bated breath for one of the contestants to fall out of the ring, and then they saw that the first thing that flew out was a scythe!
Duke's giant black two-handed sickle spun directly out of the black mist, making a loud clang, and happened to be inserted into the stone shrine, splitting the shrine in half!
Behind him was the figure of Duke, who was directly kicked to the ground by Odin from the air, leaving a dusty footprint on his left shoulder.
After landing, Duke activated his passive skills without hesitation, turned into mist again, and escaped into the shadow of the bamboo forest not far away in an instant.
At the next moment, Odin in the air flashed towards the ground and fell to the ground at high speed like a meteor. The dagger in his hand happened to pass through the black mist and pierced the air.
Female commentator: "Duke's blood volume is less than half. Fortunately, he escaped quickly. Otherwise, the game might have ended just now."
Speaking of this, there was a loud bang in the virtual scene.
As the sky became even darker, with thunder and lightning, and rain clouds, almost in just two seconds, it began to rain heavily.
Female commentator: "Oh, I almost forgot, when the shrine is damaged, there is a possibility of thunderstorm weather."
The originally wet bamboo forest was covered with heavy rain in an instant, the ground became muddy, green bamboos swayed drippingly, or transparent or snow-white water curtains splashed in every corner.
Odin stood up from the shattered shrine. When he broke into Duke's combo just now, the sickle slashed across his chest. Due to the passive characteristics of "Destroyer", it directly destroyed the clothes on his right shoulder.
With the heavy rain now, the broken clothes were very obstructive, and Odin tore them off casually, revealing a strong right arm and a small shoulder... and collarbone.
Then, the rain-soaked hood began to droop, affecting vision, and the mask began to cling tightly to the mouth and nose, affecting breathing, and Odin took them all off again.
He brushed up the broken hair in front of his forehead, exposing the entire forehead. The sunken eye sockets made him not afraid that the rain would affect his eyes, and the eyelashes looked extremely thick and slender because of the rain.
… Now, it is the commentators and the audience who feel breathless.
The female commentator petrified on the spot for several seconds, until the two contestants resumed their fight and still hadn't realized it. After a long time, she subconsciously began to take out the toilet paper and stuffed it under her nose tremblingly.
The male commentator turned into a stuck repeater, and it took a long time to read the names of the skills and routines.
On the other hand, the audience of the big movie seemed to have become contemplators one by one, sitting motionless in their seats, without even blinking their eyes.
The venue seemed extremely quiet for a while, and it was almost audible, only the sound of pouring rain coming from the virtual scene.
The progress of this game suddenly became abnormally fast.
Because Odin has never been invisible, so as long as the Reaper is willing to show up, the battle is very simple and clear; and after the rain started, Duke's invisibility became dispensable, because such heavy rain made him The outline of his body has become less concealed.
At least, with Odin's level of observation, the silhouette that isn't raining is really eye-catching!
"It's flashing." The male commentator said dryly.
Odin flashed and approached Duke in an instant, but the latter didn't react the moment he saw him, and lost the opportunity to directly blend into the shadows to hide.
In other words, even if he escaped into the shadows again, it was just delaying time!
As a Reaper profession, the greatest significance of escaping into the shadows lies in accumulating energy. His scythe attack takes a long time to store energy, but the damage is extremely high. The most typical attack routine is: hide in the shadows to store energy, and then grab the opponent's weakest The time, teleport to the opponent's back in an instant, and complete the charged attack!
In other words, it's all about timing, and the time to charge and the timing of the attack must be in perfect harmony to deal the most damage.
When Duke couldn't capture the moment when Odin's defense was weak, he had already lost.
"Small shadow dance step," the male commentator said in a daze, "another flash of light circles around his back, launching a combo."
Strictly speaking, Odin's flash is not around the back, but around Duke's rear left side, which is the part of his balance that is relatively uncoordinated, and his weak point.
Just now Odin was able to instantly knock down Duke's sickle because he directly hit his left wrist.
It's so crisp, sharp, and to the point! Seeing Duke's weakness, he unscrupulously hit the vital point directly, without sloppiness!
His attack was insane, because he took advantage of this weakness again and kicked Duke out with his scythe, which was slowly following him!
Then, the dagger Cen Ji pierced directly into Duke's left neck, twisted it fiercely, and directly took away all his remaining blood.
When the dagger was pulled out in an instant, a small amount of blood mixed with the rainwater splashed out with the tip of the blade, forming a beautiful splash, which bloomed in the rain for an instant.
A moment later, Cen Ji was sheathed.
The fight is over, another victory.
Because of the rainy weather, Tai Lun didn't pay much attention to controlling the time, and it ended around the 17th second.
The scene is closing, and the audience sees Odin reach up again to wipe a handful of wet hair.
Rainwater flowed down his cheeks and neck, all the way into the broken clothes, and when the lightning flashed in an instant, the water mist seemed to cover every inch of his bare skin with a layer of soft light.
…
When Tai Lun returned to the stage, he saw thousands of "licking, licking" eyes.
— very scary!
— It was an indescribable sense of horror!
Even a master assassin can get a little goosebumps.
Tai Lun: "..." If you look at me like this again, I will kill you!
