Volume 7 Server Merge Chapter 8: Reinforcements from the Sky
Two elves, a man and a woman, were standing on the broken wall. The elf girl had long hair as smooth as satin, flowing on her shoulders like water. The setting sun shone on her hair, and it seemed that the light could not stay on her smooth hair, but could only flow continuously between her hair, as if a clear spring was pouring down from the top of the elf girl's head.
Although she was a bit thin, the weapon in the hands of this female elf was shockingly large. It was a huge musket, the muzzle of which was almost thicker than her arm. If the whole musket was placed on the ground, it would be almost as high as the bridge of the elf girl's nose. It was simply a compact version of a goblin howitzer. Every part of this huge firearm was filled with a rough and violent atmosphere, completely subverting the gentle and demure feeling of this elf girl.
Next to the elf girl, half-crouched a tall, straight, slightly lazy elf man. He folded his arms, holding the longbow in his hands against his chest, and looked at us with a playful smile. The arrow that hit the demon berserker just now was obviously shot by him. He had a strange mask on his face, with two thick and transparent round glass lenses covering his eyes tightly, almost covering half of his cheeks. Coupled with his green tights, he looked a bit like an oversized toad.
A pure white little rabbit was lying lazily on the head of the elf archer, curled up and seemed to be dozing off. This round little meatball was born with the charm that all female intelligent creatures could not be immune to. The vampire sword dancer "stuttered and ran away and forgot the words" lady's eyes lit up when she saw it, and she pulled the arm of the troll assassin who dares to be uglier than me and shouted: "Husband, look at the rabbit, the rabbit, what a cute rabbit..."
According to legend, the toad and the rabbit are the two favorite pets of the Moon Goddess. Whenever the beautiful goddess travels, she will bring them with her. The scene presented to us now is like a picture of the Moon Goddess's tour that has become a reality.
However, I certainly would not mistake that long-haired elf woman for the goddess of the night who controls the moon and stars. She is just an ordinary elf animal trainer named Yan Zhen. And the toad squatting next to her - oh, no, it's that elf - isn't it our old acquaintance, the short-sighted elf archer Xian Ge Ya Yi? As for the rabbit perched on top of Xian Ge Ya Yi's head, it is naturally the first "battle pet" tamed by Yan Zhen himself - the white rabbit "Tu Cha Cha".
Seeing them suddenly appear, I felt a lot more at ease: with their help, at least we are now in a four-on-four situation, and except for one high-level assassin whose level is slightly higher than ours, the levels of the others are generally lower, so our chances of winning are actually greater.
While the enemy was distracted, I pulled the longbow and ran towards the base of the broken wall where Xiange Yayi and the others were. The four men suddenly woke up, shouted angrily, waved their weapons and chased us. The necromancer shot an ice spear first, hitting my buttocks. I felt a pain in my buttocks first, and then a cold and itchy touch penetrated from the base of my tail layer by layer. Half of my body immediately became cold and sore, and I was in great pain. I could only limp away, cursing this insidious magician in my heart that his intestines would be ruptured and he would die a miserable death!
But then I found that this curse had some technical difficulties: this undead was obviously just a clean skeleton, and his intestines and stomach had been eaten by some wild dogs long ago. Moreover, he was an undead, and he had died a long time ago. It seemed quite difficult to make him "die a miserable death" again.
Finally, we ran fast and soon entered the range of the two elves. With a loud "clang", the musket in Yan Zhen's hand burst out with a thunderous sound, immediately blasting the magician to death. She stood on the wall, holding up the giant musket like an iron rod with one hand effortlessly, looking at others with a proud look, her long hair dancing wildly, and ominous black smoke rising from the muzzle. The murderous aura emanating from her body made people feel a faint chill in their hearts.
Almost at the same time, Xian Ge Yayi drew his bow and shot arrows with both hands. More than twenty sharp arrows whizzed out at an incredible speed, covering a section of the road behind us. The enemies behind us were caught off guard and everyone was hit by several arrows. Fortunately, although his "continuous shooting" skill was extremely fast, its lethality was not very strong, and the remaining three pursuers only suffered a little loss.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, the troll assassin pulled his cloak in front of him and immediately turned into a shadow, disappearing in front of us. However, the demon berserker relied on his strong life to stand in front of the vampire sword dancer and bravely rushed through the feather arrow barrier.
My heart moved, and I immediately turned around to face the demon berserker. He relied on the long-handled broadsword's attack range advantage, and before I could get close, he swung the sword across. I was prepared, and immediately raised my shield to block. When the sword and shield collided, I immediately felt my left hand stagnate, and I was unable to completely block his attack. The broad blade scraped across my arm, causing me to lose hundreds of health points.
Although I was injured by the knife, I did not stop, but quickened my pace, stabbed the berserker in the waist with a "straight stab", then slashed with my backhand, leaving another bloody mark on his chest, and then slapped my left arm horizontally, using a "barbaric collision" to hit his chest with my shield. Just when I wanted to continue attacking, the demon berserker roared to the sky, which made me panic and my movements suddenly stopped.
I know that this is the effect of "Fearful Roar". As a warrior's offensive job, the Berserker also inherited this skill of war cry that can frighten the enemy. Fortunately, the "Invigorating Heart" magic contained in the warrior's badge can remove many adverse conditions including fear. I immediately activated this magic and regained control of my body.
"Strength comes from courage!" I let out a long sigh and silently repeated the warrior's creed in my heart.
What I didn't expect was that just as I was about to continue the attack, the eyes of the demon berserker who was missing his wife crazily suddenly turned green, and a gleaming light suddenly shot into my eyes. I felt a sudden blur in front of my eyes, and all the clear scenes in my eyes suddenly twisted and gradually became indistinguishable, and finally all became a blurry, chaotic, colorful mass, and I couldn't see anything.
Later I found out that this is a racial skill unique to the demons, called "Soul Disturbance", which allows them to use their magic eyes to directly invade the opponent's mind and cause the opponent to fall into a brief period of confusion.
Although this state of confusion only lasted for five seconds, it seemed like a long time to me who was unaware. When I opened my eyes, I saw the Berserker's sword slashing down on my head, taking away more than 200 points of my health, and the damage he had just caused by me had been restored.
Although I suffered a loss right from the start, I felt at ease. The long sword's attack speed was too slow. The time it took him to strike me once was enough for me to stab him three times. Even if he went berserk, my attack speed was twice as fast as his. In addition, my defense was far superior to his. I had the upper hand in this fight.
I was fighting the demon berserker on this side, and Longbow Shooter had already fought the vampire sword dancer on the other side. Facing this opponent, the dwarf believer was full of complaints and complained to me for a long time:
"Ah, Jeffreys, why did you leave her to me? This is too much. Don't you know her husband is standing next to her? I don't know when I will get stabbed in the neck! You are pushing me to death! You despicable guy, change her for me quickly!"
When I was fighting this female vampire, Niu Baiwan called me "shameless". Now I am hiding from him, and this dwarf Changgong Sheri calls me "despicable". Is this going to make me live? Is it so difficult to be a good person?
I glanced at Changgong Sheri, but ignored him. Thinking of the sneak attack from the troll assassin, I felt a chill in my heart. Let the believers who are more favored by the Supreme God take this blow. Don't they often say that "taking suffering for others with one's own body is a test from God"? Changgong, the time has come for God and the people to test you. You must hold on. Do n't thank me for giving you this opportunity to accept the test.
Seeing that I had no intention of changing opponents, the dwarf believer had no choice but to fight with the vampire sword dancer with great reluctance, with a sad face.
However, why do I always feel that there is a hint of evil excitement hidden behind his complaints?
"Sister, please go easy on me. I never dare to fight with girls..." With a wave of his right hand, the bone nunchaku came down on my head with a "woooo" sound.
"I have always been a friend of women who respects, cares for, and supports women's independence. My favorite program is CCTV's Half the Sky, and I never miss a single episode..."
"Pa pa" two sticks flew towards him.
"Brother, you saw it too. I didn't want to fight with my elder sister. You should blame that despicable guy over there. He was the one who forced me to fight with my elder sister. This is all his fault... Ah, fight... Use the nunchakus quickly, hehe..."
Faced with such a despicable and disgusting opponent, even if the sword dancer who "stuttered, was out of tune and forgot the words" was a vampire, she was so embarrassed and angry that she almost got a stitch in the side and almost vomited blood.
In fact, what really worries me is not the Berserker in front of me, nor the Sword Dancer fighting with the Longbow Shooter, but the Troll Assassin "Who Dares to Be Uglier Than Me" who has been hiding on the side. This high-level killer is elusive and has a powerful explosive power that makes people afraid. If you are not careful, you may be killed by his blow. Now, we clearly know that this guy is lurking around us, waiting for an opportunity to launch a fierce sneak attack on us, but we just don't know where he is. Although I have the upper hand in the frontal battle, I always feel like a fresh fish struggling on a chopping board, and I will be cut sooner or later.
I would rather he showed up and attacked me alone with the demon berserker. At least I could fight to my death. It was so frustrating and sad to have my life and death in the hands of the enemy.
Now I understand why some people say that "the invisible enemy is the most terrifying." The deterrent power brought by the unknown threat hidden in the darkness is sometimes even stronger than its real destructive power.
What was unexpected was that the Elf Archer Xian Ge Ya Yi had approached the battle group at some point. He took out his bow and arrow, but did not shoot, allowing the Demon Berserker and the Vampire Sword Dancer to fight us. I didn't know what he wanted to do, and just when I was wondering, he did something that I couldn't believe:
He actually took off the large and heavy glasses on his face.
I haven't seen his fair and handsome face for a long time. I'm not used to him taking off his glasses. Without the help of glasses, his eyes are hazy and blurry. If someone who doesn't know the truth sees them, they might really use the word "deep" to describe them - uh... I think that's how I described them at the beginning.
The surprise brought to us by Xian Ge Ya Yi did not end there. He did not just take off the glasses he relied on to see, but now he even closed his glasses. He lowered his head, stood sideways towards us, and pointed his left ear in our direction. His ears were extremely flexible and could even move constantly, which looked very interesting.
"Xiange Yayi, what do you want to do..." I was about to yell at this idiot who had abandoned his martial arts skills, but before I could finish my words, I suddenly saw the elf archer slightly turn to the right, pull the bow with both hands in an extremely simple movement, and shoot an arrow at the open space in front of him without hesitation. Unexpectedly, the arrow stopped after less than five steps, and a thin layer of blood mist splashed on the arrowhead.
At one end of the arrow, the troll assassin "Who Dares to be Uglier than Me" gradually revealed his figure.
Changbow Sheri took a deep breath: the invisible killer was standing three steps behind him.
Xian Ge Yayi put on her glasses immediately.
I'm wondering if I should get myself a pair of glasses, because now I feel like my eyeballs are trying hard to get out of their sockets, and if there's nothing blocking them, I'm afraid I'll have to look for the broken pieces of my eyeballs on the ground.
"This...what's going on?" Changgong Sheri screamed, and shouted at Xian Ge Yayi in excitement and confusion, "...Can you see him?"
"To be precise, I can hear..." The elf archer shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and then another arrow flew out, hitting the waist of Who Dares to Be Uglier Than Me. "...I forgot to repair my equipment when I was fighting monsters yesterday, and my glasses were broken and couldn't be worn. As a result, I was blocked in a cave by a group of werewolves. I closed my eyes and shot randomly, and was finally chopped back to the resurrection point. After resurrection, I found that I learned this trick of 'Wind-Listening Arrow', which can also shoot nearby enemies by sound. Alas, the power is a little weak, the fighting spirit consumption is large, and the cooling time is too long..." This half-disabled elf who was so lucky actually shook his head like a spoiled child.
Within a certain period of time, an assassin has two chances to hide their tracks. These two chances determine their absolute initiative in the battle, whether to attack with a sneak attack or to hide and escape. For an assassin, his most powerful weapon is not the sharp blade in his hand, but this way of coming and going without a trace and attacking the enemy when they are unprepared. If an excellent assassin takes the initiative when you are completely unprepared, he can even kill you in an instant with his explosive and powerful attack power; and if he cannot succeed in a short time, he can also hide his body, calmly leave the battlefield, and lurk aside waiting for the next opportunity.
But now, in front of Xiange Yayi, an extremely rare elf who shoots arrows with his ears, who dares to be uglier than me completely lost the opportunity to seize the initiative, and could only be forced to choose a fighting method that he was not good at, and fight the enemy with direct melee, which could not be opportunistic. As a result, his fighting power suddenly dropped significantly.
Even so, the cunning elven archer did not give him too many opportunities for close combat. Xiange Yayi fought and retreated, always keeping a certain distance from the opponent, shooting a few arrows from a distance, and then turned around and ran away. The troll assassin once used the "sprint" combat skill, and finally got close to him. Just as he slashed two swords, he was broken by Xiange Yayi's "hook and throw" move. He watched the opponent run away again, and then continued to happily shoot at the moving target.
We had a lot of fun fighting with our respective opponents. The long-haired elf tamer Yan Zhen also fought with the undead magician "This person is dead. Burn some paper if you have any problems" - in fact, these two long-range attack professionals were the first pair we started fighting.
Before, the necromancer was shot by the wild goose formation, and he immediately fought back, shooting an ice cone followed by an ice spear at the elven beastmaster standing on the wall, opening the curtain of this long-range battle. A series of dark blue magic lights shuttled through the air, accompanied by a huge roar and flames from time to time, and the momentum was extremely amazing. This may not be the most dangerous abnormal battle among us, but it is definitely the most lively one.
On my side, I was relying on my agility to fight the demon berserker. Although his attacks were powerful and lethal, I had the upper hand due to my higher attack speed.
The situation on the Goose Formation side was just the opposite: the Elf Tamer's huge musket was extremely powerful, and from time to time it would trigger a knockdown effect, knocking the Undead Mage over. However, the speed of the musket was too slow. Every time she fired a shot, the opponent had already released two or three spells. Although these single-target attack spells were not powerful, the damage caused by multiple hits was also amazing. What's more, these spells all had freezing properties, and after being hit, the Goose Formation's movements became even slower.
Soon, Yan Zhen became the only one of us at a disadvantage in this battle. Seeing her gritting her teeth and struggling to hold on, I suddenly became anxious and wanted to kill this annoying berserker in front of me to help her. You know, she was involved in this conflict to save us. I don't want a girl to lose her life for our survival - the honor of a warrior will never allow me to let this happen in front of me.
Just when I was getting anxious, the geese stopped attacking. She silently chanted a spell, and a gate leading to the magic space of animal trainers' pets appeared in front of her. Without her greeting, the rabbit that was perched at her feet obediently jumped into the magic pet gate, and then the chubby, naive-looking sheep war pet "Yang Meimei" walked out of the pet gate with a handful of tender grass in its mouth.
Another icy spike shot at Yan Zhen's body, but the beautiful long-haired elf was not afraid at all. She pointed her right hand in the direction of the necromancer and said, "Yang Meimei, go!"
After receiving the master's order, the sheep immediately jumped and hopped - oh, maybe rolling and crawling is more accurate - and rushed towards the necromancer. Its soft and fluffy fat swayed back and forth, almost covering its four small hooves that were not very obvious to begin with, and it looked like a fat meat ball that could move freely. Surprisingly, even though it was so fat, its speed was not slow at all, and it quickly "rolled" in front of the necromancer.
Although I hate to criticize my companion behind her back, especially when she is a woman, I have to say at this point that she is wasting her time. What can she expect to do with this soft, plump little ball? Unless her opponent happens to be allergic to wool, this may be a very good idea. But...but...
Do you think a pair of skeletons would react in any particular way to wool?
Instead of taking the time to summon a pet, it would be better to fire a few more shots to weaken the enemy's vitality as much as possible.
The necromancer obviously had no defense against this harmless lamb. Although he watched it approach, he only added a layer of ice armor to himself and then concentrated on summoning his attack spell. This time he took a long time to prepare, and it seemed to be an advanced magic of "Ice Storm". If hit by this magic, the whole person will be frozen into an ice sculpture in an instant, and it will take five seconds to regain consciousness, and the slow effect caused by the freezing will continue for another five seconds.
This magic has been brewing for a long time. A large group of cold magic elements gathered from all directions into the hands of the necromancer, flashing a dazzling ice-blue light. Yan Zhen was also very anxious about this magic. She aimed at the necromancer and fired two shots in a row. Although both hit, there was no knockdown effect, but it only slightly delayed the magician's casting time. Seeing that the magic ball was getting bigger and bigger, the magic power gathered in it was getting stronger and stronger, and it was about to fly out of his hand.
"Mee~~~~" The sheep suddenly hummed softly, then suddenly jumped up into the air, like a huge ball of wool that was suddenly kicked into the sky...
"Bang!" Two small but hard sheep horns hit the exposed skull of the necromancer, making a hollow sound unique to bone materials.
The magic ball of light suddenly disappeared. This advanced magic that had been accumulated for half a day was completely destroyed by Yang Miemie. Along with it, my understanding of the word "cute" was also destroyed.
No one could understand what had just happened better than a former warrior. Yang Miemie's high-jumping attack was clearly a standard warrior skill - "headbutt". It could cause the enemy to be dizzy for a moment and interrupt all spells being cast by spellcasters.
