Volume 7 Server Merge Chapter 1 Because of Card
Although we could not stop the enemy's siege vehicles from approaching the city wall, it did not mean that they had any decisive advantage. Although our garrison was greatly outnumbered, with the help of many powerful airborne warriors, we were able to stop the enemy troops from attacking the city outside the city wall, forcing them to wait for the end of being kicked off the siege vehicles.
Before I knew it, nearly thirty soldiers of the Doomsday Empire had died in my hands. Some of them were killed by my sword, while others were frightened by my "Fearful Roar" and fell off the siege vehicle and turned into meat patties. What surprised me was that these ugly invaders were stupid and weak: their attacks were weak and could only symbolically cause me to lose a few dozen points of life, which was not painful at all; and I only needed to use a few of the simplest combat skills to easily deal with them.
Although this is an important battle related to the safety of the entire continent, fighting these "rookies" (the term used by those involved in the air, they always seem to like to call others "birds") enemies simply makes me tired and I can't muster the mood to fight at all. In my opinion, they are not even as threatening as the 42nd level thick-skinned wild boar running in the Uzig Mountains. I even feel a little pity for these enemies who are embarking on a journey of certain death. What they are trying to do with their lives is simply an impossible task. For this battle, their death is futile and worthless.
If all the soldiers of the Doomsday Empire were only of this level, then there was no need to guess the outcome of this battle. Even if their army doubled in number, they would not be able to break through our solid defense line made up of flesh and blood!
A "demon scout" with horns on his head, curled legs, and hoof-like feet thrust his spear at my chest. I raised my shield and used the "block" skill to easily deflect the spear, then took a step forward and thrust the long sword in my right hand into the "demon scout's" lower abdomen. Just as I was about to turn around and chop back and continue to kill him, suddenly, a cold wind with a sharp metal touch quickly penetrated my back.
I felt a great pain in my back, which made me groan softly. The pain made me feel very weak for a moment, as if my strength and courage had drained away from my body with this heavy blow.
This sneak attack took away nearly 200 points of my health, which was the heaviest attack I had ever endured since the beginning of the battle. I was startled and quickly turned around to face this dangerous enemy who attacked from behind.
But his agility far exceeded my imagination. When I turned around, I only caught a glimpse of his vague figure with the corner of my eye. In this short glimpse, I saw a vampire assassin holding two daggers, staring at me with the greed of a wolf hunting its prey. His eyes were purple-red, with two black vertical lines in his pupils. A pair of short, shiny white fangs were exposed outside his lower lip, forming a sharp contrast with his bright and juicy lips. On his head were three bright red characters "Snake Rain Fairy", which was his name.
As the third job of the Wanderer, the "Assassin" has truly absorbed the essence of the Wanderer's combat skills. They are the pride of the night and the darling of the shadows. They lurk in the darkness where no one notices, and sublimate the cold-blooded massacre into an art that erupts in the silent moment. The dagger is their killing weapon and their most loyal partner. "Never show up in front of people" is their unchangeable creed. They are the most despicable sneak attackers and the most dangerous enemies. Under their shameless assassination, some people even don't realize that their death is coming until they die.
No other race is more suitable for the "assassin" profession than vampires. This shady race is born with the ability to be invisible in the dark, which greatly enhances the assassin's "stealth" skills and greatly reduces the possibility of being detected. They also have the talent of "blood extraction", which can convert one-tenth of the enemy's damage value into their own life in 30 seconds, and they are born with superior speed like elves. I don't know how many opponents you absolutely don't want to meet in your life, but I believe that a skilled vampire assassin will definitely be one of them.
I found that he had once again circled behind me, so I quickly crouched and wanted to use the "Whirlwind" skill - this skill can attack all enemies around me at once, and is especially effective when I am surrounded or attacked from behind.
I thought my reaction speed was fast enough, but I was still a step slower than my opponent. Before my blade could reach his body, I was hit hard on the back of my head by a blunt object - I later found out it was the handle of a dagger. The blow made me dizzy and I lost the ability to fight. I could only squat in place and wait for my body to recover - this was the result of the assassin's unique "slam" skill, which is very similar to the wanderer's "sap" skill, the difference is that it can be used even when not in the "stealth" state.
While I was unconscious, this cunning opponent seized the opportunity and stabbed me twice.
Fortunately, I changed into a stronger armor before the battle, and the strong protection prevented this series of attacks from causing fatal damage to me. But at this time, my remaining life was less than half.
Although the dizziness caused by the "slam" made me unable to move, my mind was still clear and I was still able to distinguish and think. I knew very well that this Snake Rain Fairy was completely different from all the enemies I had encountered before: he was level 45 like me, cunning and sharp, and used skills flexibly to fight me, including his unique name, all of which pointed to the fact that he was also a "skywalker".
That's right, among the invading army of the Doomsday Empire, there are also "Skywalkers". Before, perhaps because of the huge threat of the catapults in the city, these smart and dangerous guys did not take the risk to attack, but only let those weak and low-level soldiers take the lead. But now, when the battle is close, they have already started to act.
What kind of changes would the attack of the "airborne" in the enemy army bring to this battle? The tense situation did not give me enough time to think. Soon, the dizziness disappeared, and I regained control of my body.
I learned a lesson from the loss I suffered just now. After the stun effect ended, I did not rush to turn around and confront the vampire assassin named She Yuxian head-on. Instead, I used the skill "Fear Roar" as soon as possible. Affected by "Fear Roar", She Yuxian suddenly fell into a dazed state, spinning back and forth aimlessly, which gave me time to drink a bottle of life potion, and then I shouted again and used the skill "Courageous Battle Call", which improved my attack and defense power in a short period of time.
Snake Rain Fairy must have been equipped with some kind of equipment that could protect his consciousness. He didn't fall into fear for long and soon recovered. I was afraid that he would use his speed advantage again and attack first, forcing him to confront me head-on. After the two of us met, I took advantage of my thick armor and took a big advantage. Seeing that the situation was not right, Snake Rain Fairy immediately sprinkled a handful of dazzling magic powder on my face, which made me dazzled. When I could see the surroundings clearly again, he had hidden himself again, making it impossible for me to find him.
Although I couldn't see him, I knew he wasn't far away, still waiting around me, waiting to attack me again. Being targeted by an assassin was really uncomfortable. I had to fight the invaders while being on guard against any movement behind me. The battlefield was very noisy, with wailing everywhere and metal clashing, but any slight sound from behind me could make me break into a cold sweat. Even if no one attacked me, I still felt a burst of pain from my back, as if the sharp eyes of the vampire assassin could pierce into my body.
At this moment of panic, something suddenly caught my eye and I had an idea. I continued to swing the sword and moved to the right and back without leaving any trace.
My guess was right. Less than three seconds after I stood firm, the fierce wind hit me from behind again. Although I was very alert, I still failed to dodge in time and was hit hard again. But at the same time, a "click" sound came from behind me - it was the sound of a trap being triggered.
This is a trap set by a trainer - I didn't see who did it, but I have to thank him - it has no obvious harm effect, and its biggest use is to slow down the beast that sets off the trap, so that the trainer can tame it. It is marked with the trap symbol commonly used by the Continental United Army. After I saw it, I had an idea and moved here to fight with my back to it. In this way, if Snake Rain Fairy wants to sneak attack me, it will inevitably trigger this trap.
There was only one thing I didn't expect: She Yuxian's sneak attack was a critical hit, which completely eliminated 400 points of my vitality. As a result, my health was much lower than that of the enemy, which put me in a huge passive position.
At this point, we both had no way out, so we had to let go and fight head-on. Even though my speed was hindered, She Yuxian's fighting skills were still amazing. Even in this head-on confrontation, he always found a way to find my flaws and attack the weak defenses behind me. His attack power was so high that even if I took potions one after another, it was not enough to compensate for the speed of my life loss.
However, the assassin's fragile leather armor also made him suffer. Almost every strike of mine could cause him to lose hundreds of health points, and the speed at which his health bar diminished was just like the wine bottle in front of a dwarf in a tavern, decreasing without stopping.
This kind of attritional battle was destined to not last long, and soon, both of us were running out of vitality. If nothing unexpected happened, the next time we met, it would be the last round of this battle.
For me, this is not a fair life-and-death battle. Death is just a failed adventure for my opponent, but for me, it means a permanent end - although there are many healers on the battlefield who have the skill of resurrection, who knows if they will see my body - I must work harder and more desperately than my enemies to keep my chance of survival.
For this sword, I used the "slashing" skill, attacking with all my strength and without reservation.
But at the moment I made my move, a panic enveloped my heart: She Yuxian, my opponent, had been restrained by the trap and his movements were blocked; but at the moment of releasing this final blow, the effect of the trap expired, his body regained its original agility, and the dagger in his hand pounced straight at my body like the sharp teeth of a monster.
Am I finished? This thought flashed through my chest like lightning, and the blood in my body turned cold because of this desperate scene. My attack became futile. Even if I could die with him, I would be the final loser.
Just when I was filled with despair, the wall closest to us suddenly collapsed, and a tower collapsed and shattered. For a moment, smoke filled the air, stone chips flew everywhere, and the surrounding scene changed dramatically.
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but the moment the tower collapsed, it seemed that all the people flying around - whether they were my comrades or enemies - stopped moving for a short time. Of course, the Snake Rain Fairy in front of me was no exception.
The collapse of the city wall was originally very bad news, but it was a golden opportunity for me to save my life. I didn't hesitate at all and slashed She Yuxian's neck with my sword. A last piece of red mist with the words "-72" burst out from his head, and then he fell to the ground and died.
Before he fell to the ground, he stared at the collapsed tower with great hatred, and reluctantly uttered his last words of this life:
"It's fucking stuck..."
After walking around the gates of hell, my heart was about . I quickly took advantage of the chaos to hide in the back of the battle formation, guzzled the food and blood bottles that could replenish my life, and then returned to the battlefield.
This battle just now at least tells us one good news: the "card" curse is not only on us, our enemies are also affected by it. I can't imagine who would spread this terrible curse, but as long as the enemy doesn't take advantage of us, it can be regarded as a blessing.
