Volume 1: The Beginner's First Cry Chapter 52: General Assembly (13)
Although my reaction was fast enough, it was still not as good as Yamato's skillful fighting skills. At the moment when I activated my skill, a red shadow passed by the corner of my eye, accompanied by a "hissing" sound of the wind, and a long sword flashing with cold light swept across my body. This was the first time I was injured in the battle so far.
I was trembling as I rushed out. I was just touched a little bit, but my health was reduced by one third. If I had dodged a little slower, I would have died. I should be grateful for my identity as a thief, which allowed me to learn this escape skill. Before I could think about it, another "one-shot" came next. At this moment, the only thing I could rely on was this.
The Yamato spirit's attacks missed twice in a row, and he seemed extremely angry, shouting "Uh-huh" - he didn't choose the universal language channel, so it couldn't be translated, and it still sounded Japanese to me. Compared with him, Afeng, the knight without a mount, was so clumsy that he tried his best, but the spear he thrust straight at couldn't even reach the corner of his clothes. He was so angry that his face turned into a black Zhang Fei. Seeing that he couldn't catch up with his opponent, he simply gave up his own defense completely, trying to attract the attack of the Yamato spirit and cover me out of danger.
However, Yamato was determined to kill me first, ignoring the magic attacks of Xue Wuxia and Diewu, and not only used the last "anger" ability, but also used the swordsman's "slash" skill with all his might, trying to succeed in one strike and free his teammates. These masters were all very cunning, and they found the biggest weakness of "Summoning the Dead" so quickly. I should have left a few skeleton warriors to protect me, even if they could stop him a little and buy a little more time, I would have a chance to escape.
After all, my "One Piece, One Dust" is just a low-level skill of a thief. I can't compete with an "angry" angry swordsman in speed. My body has stopped, but my intuition tells me that Yamato's spirit is rushing towards me at high speed, and its target is still me, with no intention of changing direction.
I guess I can't escape this time, but I don't want to give up until the last moment, not for my own face or honor, I'm just a rookie, and it's not shameful . Looking at my friends who are fighting hard for a common goal, I don't want to let them down. I may not have much ability, but I will try my best.
"Leaving the dust behind", I immediately fled in another direction, not letting the Yamato spirit kill me so easily. This would give Afeng and Xue Wuxia time to catch up and defeat the Yamato spirit that had exhausted its mental power. Without the strong and abnormal Yamato spirit and the summoned skeleton warriors, the outcome of this match was still fifty-fifty.
The figure of Yamato's spirit has flashed in my field of vision, and is rapidly approaching me. The long sword with the "slash" skill makes a sharp whistling sound, and is about to "kiss" my body. It happened in a flash, and just when I was about to close my eyes and wait for death, another figure rushed towards me from the side, just blocking my back and staying in the line of Yamato's spirit attack.
The expected fatal blow did not come. Without time to think about the reason, I subconsciously used "One Ride Away" again. The farther away from that evil star the better. This was the only thought in my mind.
"Wu Ying," Die Wu screamed behind me, and the portrait of Yun Wu Ying in the status bar dimmed. I immediately understood what had just happened: Yun Wu Ying anticipated my danger, and judged the direction of my dodge in advance, and used his body to block the attack of Yamato's spirit, saving my life in exchange for my own. In the competition, I was a key protected person. If I was in danger, others would do their best to rescue me, even if they had to sacrifice themselves. This was a collective decision, and Xue Wu Xia was responsible for commanding the overall situation. He had a heavy responsibility and could not sacrifice himself lightly. The experienced Yun Wu Ying became my first bodyguard.
Yamato seemed a little surprised, and froze for a moment. He tried his best, but his sure-fire killer move failed to kill me, and he failed to get out of the unfavorable situation. Now that his mental strength is exhausted, his strength has greatly decreased, and he is no longer as brave as before. Afeng seized the opportunity to catch up, and with a "thrust", he was finally able to fight him face to face, without always chasing behind and eating dust.
Xue Wuxia and Diewu also formed a pincer attack from the left and right. The Yamato spirit, unable to use its skills, was entangled by Afeng and could hardly pose a threat to others. Although I really wanted to personally participate in the attack on him to avenge Yun Wuying, thinking about my mission, I had no choice but to give up this idea and stand in a safer place to command the skeleton warriors to fight and pin down the other six people on the other side. Without my command, the brothers' attack seemed disorganized and could not their due strength.
Although we lost one Yun Wuying, our overall strength has not decreased much. There are still more than 40 skeleton warriors on the ring to help us fight. The two absolute main forces of the opponent are already at the end of their strength and are surrounded by our superior forces. As long as we play normally, victory will belong to us. Putting so much energy but still failing to kill me is the biggest failure of the Yamato spirit. Without the help of my skeleton warriors, with their rich combat experience and skills, it is really hard to say who will win.
Yamamoto Kyushu was badly injured in the early stage while trying to protect Yamato Spirit. He was caught off guard by the attacks of Heart Guardian, Xiao Niao Yiren and Nan Feiyan and was defeated first. The three people who were freed immediately joined the battle to besiege Yamato Spirit. It was six against one. Even if Yamato Spirit was brave and good at fighting, it was helpless. He was sent to the stage by Afeng with a fierce "stab" - Afeng had been chasing him for a long time and was very angry, just waiting for this moment.
After killing the two main forces of the opponent, there was no suspense in the following battle. The opponent's fire magician recovered a little mental strength under the cover of his companions, and sent out another "continuous fireball", killing more than a dozen skeleton warriors. However, we had already attacked at this time, and Xiao Niao Yiren and Nan Feiyan hit him with two "critical hits" at the same time, making him the third loser. The resistance of the remaining five defeated soldiers was so weak that they turned into a ball of white light and were sent out of the ring one by one, announcing their fate of failure.
We finally won the semi-finals and made it to the finals, but the opponent was much stronger than we showed in the first game, so it was a miserable victory. Yun Wuying would definitely not be able to play in the finals, and Wu Yin, who replaced her, was slightly less experienced, and like Xue Wuxia and Die Wu, they both lacked powerful attack magic. This three-magician lineup was very unreasonable, but we had limited personnel, and Xiao Lajiao was even worse, so we had no choice but to arrange it this way.
The counterattack of Yamato Spirit and Yamamoto Kyushu before their death also caused Afeng and Heart Guardian to suffer heavy injuries, but fortunately there is half an hour of rest time, and they should be almost recovered by then. The more troublesome one is me. The injury is not bad, and I will definitely recover, but I have lost 80% of my mental power by using "Summon the Dead", and I have used the "One Ride Away" skill several times in a row. Even if I recover some while fighting, the recovery speed is halved in battle, and now I only have 25% of my mental power. Even if I rest and rest, plus the 5% weighted mental power recovery speed, it will take at least 40 minutes to reach the 80% level.
But the rest time is only half an hour, which is definitely not enough. If I can't use "Summon the Dead" right away when the game starts, once the opponent rushes close to us, we will be in danger, especially me, who will be killed by the opponent. Fortunately, the battle between Long Xing Tian Xia and the Goryeo warriors is still going on. Our battle took 20 minutes, and they have at most 10 minutes to play. If both sides can hold on until the last moment, the time is just enough for me to recover. Now I can only beg God to bless them and let the two teams play for a while longer, so that the winner will not be decided so quickly.
