Volume 10 Bugs Chapter 13: The One Who Shouldn't Have Won
With the Paladin's combat experience, he certainly wouldn't sit and wait for defeat. And we all knew that he was far from reaching the end of his rope. When I had accumulated enough fighting spirit and was about to use another "slashing" skill, he suddenly raised his war hammer with his right hand, protected his chest with his left hand, and issued an earnest call.
A holy light appeared out of nowhere around me, moving like a spirit snake, wrapping around my waist. I immediately found that although my movements were not affected, my speed was greatly reduced. After sending out this "Ring of Imprisonment", Zhizhu Yumeng immediately retreated, out of my attack range, and then silently chanted a spell, waved his right hand, and covered himself with a layer of light yellow transparent light shield.
This is the Paladin's secret weapon for saving his life, often vividly referred to as the "invincible" defensive magic - "Holy Light Protection".
There are only two ways to break this magic shield: either seize the time and attack with all your strength, using oversaturated slashing to break through the defense limit of "Holy Light Protection"; or just escape far away temporarily and wait for the duration of this magic to end.
The bloody fights just now have completely ignited the flame of the warrior's soul in my heart, making me eager to fight, and the blood vessels of my body are running with vigorous power. Why do I want to fight this duel? What should I do in the duel? What consequences will this duel lead to? These questions no longer exist in my mind. At this moment, I am a pure fighter, using my blood and soul to pursue the honor that belongs to me.
His whole body relaxed, and the holy light dissipated silently, dissolving into the air without leaving any light or shadow.
The "Ring of Confinement" disappeared.
I strode forward and ran straight towards the Paladin not far away.
A "thick-skinned wild boar cub" happened to crawl between me and the dream of a lifetime, and sat on the ground, blocking my way. This little fat pig, which was only level 3, was like a solid ball of wool, with almost zero attack power, and posed no threat to me at all. If it hadn't happened to appear there, I would never have looked at it.
But I didn't want this uninvited guest to disturb my duel at this moment. I rushed to it in the blink of an eye and kicked it away...
"Ah! Poor little pig..." Yan Zhen's sympathetic voice came from behind.
I'm so sorry, I kept saying to myself, but I really can't care about your feelings at the moment.
cut!!
The sharp sword light was like a lightning bolt full of poison, falling heavily on the hard-to-break light shield. Although it did not break it in one fell swoop, the light shield suddenly dimmed a little.
He remained devoted to his dream all his life and remained unmoved. He immediately cast a "Blessing of the Supreme God" to restore his vitality to nearly 700 points.
I was so anxious that I swung my sword again.
The shield's radiance was shattered by the sword, leaving only a ray of light, almost invisible. But the sword was still blocked after all.
My Paladin opponent immediately took advantage of the victory and swung his war hammer to hit me on the head with a "Light Smash". Eighty-four points of health were instantly lost, and my disadvantage became more obvious.
At this moment, I finally broke through the defense of his lifelong obsession with dreams, and the long sword drew a bloody mark on his body. In a short moment, the duel turned a reincarnation, pushing us to the intersection of fate again with flesh and blood. But this time, the balance of victory was obviously more inclined to the end point where my opponent was.
Three hundred versus seven hundred, the difference in health points was a huge disadvantage for me. Under normal circumstances, I should have tried to distance myself from him, drank two more bottles of health potions, rested, and then fought again. But this time, I made a decision that even I didn't expect : I didn't retreat, but continued to thrust my sword forward and fight hard.
Honestly, I really don't know why I did this. Perhaps at this moment , the proud soul of a warrior hidden in my heart suddenly woke up and took control of my body. I would rather die in battle than take another step back. No one knows the danger of this moment better than me. Under such a huge disadvantage, all the courage and faith that make people proud have completely lost their effect. Even a person's strength and martial arts are no longer important. The only thing that can save me at this moment may be just a little bit of luck.
The strange thing is, even so, I didn't feel the slightest bit of fear. The opponent's hammer and magic were dancing back and forth in front of me, ruthlessly taking my life, but I didn't feel like a dying person at all. An indescribable confidence filled my hands holding the sword with strength. I didn't know where this confidence came from, but I could clearly feel that I would never lose or die in this duel.
Fortunately, he had never guessed my determination, and he finally seized this rare opportunity to fight me head-on with such a big advantage. Of course, he didn't want to see me escape. So, he used the same trick again and summoned the magic of "Ring of Confinement" to limit my movement speed.
Since I had no intention of escaping, the magic was of course useless. While he was casting the spell, I stabbed him once more.
The fight from then on was a complete mess, with swords and hammers swinging back and forth between the two men, constantly drawing blood from each other's bodies. At this point in the duel, there was no technical content at all, only two men squandering their raw brute force on each other, proving each other's bravery and tenacity.
This head-on fight was not good for me. Soon, my life had dropped to double digits, while I only had more than 200 points left after pursuing my dream. At this moment, I could only watch his hammer fall down, not knowing whether I could survive this blow.
I heard the sound of the warhammer hitting my shoulder and saw a splash of blood. At this time, I had no time to identify how much life I had lost. I only knew that I had fortunately survived this blow and was fortunately still alive.
For anyone else, this is an irreversible defeat: under the opponent's strong defense, even if I have the hidden attribute bonus of boxing gloves, there is absolutely no skill that can consume nearly 300 points of his life in one round. And with my current weak vitality, I am afraid that he can kill me with just a sneeze at me.
And I'm not desperate yet!
All my confidence comes from a pair of boots, a pair of boots that no one else has except me -
Magic Boots: "Footprints of the Wind Elves".
This is a reward I won from the temple for my outstanding achievements in the server-merging campaign. In addition to the attribute bonus far superior to ordinary combat boots, this pair of boots also has a great magic attached:
Heroic Flash!
I have always used it as a skill to escape for the sake of saving my life. Once I encounter an opponent that I cannot defeat, I will flee immediately. Many times, I have escaped from fatal dangers by relying on it. Otherwise, I would have lost my fragile life in some dangerous cave.
Because of its outstanding escape effect, I often forget another special attribute of this skill:
It can make the first attack after flashing 100% critical hit...
Although the ring of confinement could trap my moving steps, it was powerless against the magic effect of "Heroic Flash". Before the final blow of "Lifelong Clinging to Dreams" fell, I suddenly disappeared from in front of him and appeared about ten steps behind him to the right.
The Paladin President was not surprised for too long by my sudden disappearance. In his opinion, no matter how incredible my skill was, it would inevitably fail - where could a dying warrior escape to with this confinement halo? It would only delay some time at most.
He really should be more careful.
As soon as I escaped from the battle, I didn't rush to drink those life-saving potions - they were too slow to take effect, and by the time a bottle of potion took effect, I would probably have been beaten into a human pie - I put away the sword in my hand and instead took out a roughly shaped wheel-shaped axe.
When Yisheng, obsessed with his dream, rushed towards me impatiently, I shouted loudly and threw out the huge battle axe, which was several centimeters wider than my waist.
Go all out!
I never thought that I would have such a powerful long-range attack skill, and I was not prepared at all. When he screamed and tried to dodge, the battle axe had already lived up to expectations and chopped the Paladin's forehead.
Of course it was a critical hit!
In the beginning, I really just used "Heroic Flash" as a pure escape skill, but as my combat experience gradually increased, I felt more and more that it was a huge waste: in many life-and-death struggles, the lethality generated by a critical hit can definitely turn the whole situation around. If used properly, it is entirely possible to turn defeat into victory.
So I started trying to think: How can I maximize the effect of this critical strike bonus while saving myself and staying away from the enemy, and inflict as much damage as possible on the opponent?
Fortunately, I don't have many long-range attack methods, and I soon found the answer:
Go all out! Of course, go all out!
This is a skill with great power. When used, it will sacrifice the weapon itself and produce explosive destructive power. The critical hit attribute increases this terrible destructive power exponentially, even to the point where I am terrified. When I was experimenting with a snow mountain monster with strong vitality, I even hit a record of more than 800 health points in one hit, which can even kill ordinary wild monsters of the same level as me in one hit.
…
"Puff!" A terrible sound was heard, which reminded people of the scene when a ripe watermelon was cut open and red water suddenly splashed everywhere.
Just as I hoped, more than 200 health points vanished in an instant. The Paladin Guild President, who had been in the upper hand, was now half-crawled on the ground with his head shattered , completely lifeless.
Only then did I have time to check how many hours of life I had left .
The results I saw made me gasp:
1 point, only 1 point left.
This duel was won in an extremely dangerous way: even if the hammer that I had just used to pursue my dream was as heavy as a straw, I would have already gone a step ahead, and there would not have been a huge reversal that would have been a shocking throw later...
…
This strange reversal of battle caused the audience of the Hammer of Punishment Knights to fall into a brief silence, but they soon came to their senses and found that it was their own guild leader who fell to the ground and died. The huge sense of collective honor made these guild members furious, and they showed off their various weapons, seemingly intending to avenge their guild leader.
They stood behind me, their faces pale with fear from this unexpected victory. I stood there blankly, feeling regretful, afraid, and annoyed:
It's bad, it's bad. Didn't I say I must lose? How did I win in the heat of the moment? If I had known earlier, why would I run away? If I had just stretched my neck and let the hammer hit me again, wouldn't it be fine? Why are you showing off? What should I do now? What should I do now...
Just as I was facing dozens of fierce eyes, sweating profusely and my heart was in a mess, suddenly, I felt an itch on my left leg.
I looked down subconsciously and saw a "thick-skinned wild boar cub" whose health had reached the bottom, leaning on my left leg, with its head tilted and its mouth wide open, revealing two white fangs as thick as little fingers, and two streams of glittering saliva dripping from its lips. Seeing me looking down at it, the little wild boar also glanced at me, its big eyes flickering, looking very silly and naive.
Although it was looking, the little wild boar's mouth was not idle. After finding the right place, it bit down.
My left leg hurts a little...
Hey, why did it suddenly get dark?
