"Uh~ah!!"
Barret's Shadow Blade is "just" a +3 magic weapon, but it is also enchanted with two abilities.
Sharp, which almost doubles the effect of its piercing critical hit!
Shadow Strike is a powerful enchantment that only shadow casters can complete, and must be within the Shadow Realm. It can automatically adapt to the target, automatically adjust the effect, and can break through various natural damage reductions and camp-based damage reductions. , and various subspecies, including the damage reduction of subspecies in the outer plane!
With these two enchantments, the actual value of the Shadow Blade is even more than an ordinary +5 magic weapon!
At this moment, when the throat was struck, the powerful damage reduction ability that Rakshasa was born with, which was only ineffective against the "good camp" and "piercing effect", had almost no effect at all.
With Barrett's understatement, a line of blood suddenly appeared on his throat. While the black evil blood spurted fiercely, a dark power eroded on the wound, allowing him to recover from the injury. The self-healing that comes from reducing the ability cannot produce any effect at all.
However, a Rakshasa is a Rakshasa after all. It has the evil nature of the lower plane and a strong enough physique. Whether it is in the place of synthesis or in the entire Ashan plane, it can be regarded as the most elite armed creature, even if After receiving two blows of ice breath first, and then this blow to the throat, he was still able to survive, and even...
Burning with demonic nature, Rakshasa's eyes at this moment were as dark as ink, as if they were swallowing all the light.
He roared hoarsely.
Barrett's short blade had just wiped it, but he hadn't followed up with the second blow.
The elemental double-edged lightning suddenly flashed, and a dense web of sword light instantly swept into the sky.
In the sky, with the breath of ice, the two dragon-winged kobolds who were jumping down at the same time suddenly shrank their eyes.
However, after all, they have all undergone three transformations, and they have received the most elite assassin training over the years. Plus, they are facing the front, so they are not unable to reflect!
The wings flap rapidly, and the blades strike like rain.
Countless electric lights are exploding.
In a very short period of time, there were countless merging sounds.
The dragon-winged kobold fluttered its wings and retreated.
It's not that they can't withstand Rakshasa's attacks.
Although Rakshasa's power is powerful, they are also at the second level of life energy level. Although their strength is relatively weak due to their body size, the dragon's veins are strong enough, let alone a combined attack.
The reason for retreating...
There are dense gaps on their short blades!
Their hands and arms even had traces of electric shocks!
It seems that although their refined military short blades are already the finest products of the dwarves, the standard elemental scimitar used by Rakshasa is the result of years of experience accumulated by the Institute of Synthesis. It is made of fine gold, +3 magic weapons, and has sharpness enchantment. Electric shock enchantment, even compared to Barrett's Shadow Blade, is not inferior.
The quality difference between the two sides is quite different!
However, this Rakshasa did not take the opportunity to pursue him.
It's not that he doesn't want to, but...
Amidst the hoarse roar, a wave of explosions erupted, killing the dragon-winged kobolds back. Under the Rakshasa's resistance cloak, there was an evil force that could only be found in the lower planes surging at the same time.
Barrett's Shadow Blade had just wiped it with one blow, and it was extremely sudden. From under the Rakshasa's cloak, a pair of extremely strong arms, like giant orangutans, with a breath of purgatory, suddenly stretched out, and then They hugged Barrett like lightning.
"The Blessing of the Four-Armed Gorilla!"
"What troublesome guys!"
This sudden change did not surprise Barrett.
He has been paying attention to everything here for an unknown amount of time. How could he not be aware of these Rakshasa and the methods that the Archmage of the Synthesis Place has arranged for them?
However, there were no surprises, but in his heart, he still frowned secretly.
What assassins hate the most are these guys who have such strong vitality that they can still fight back normally even if they receive a fatal blow, and they also have extremely strong reaction and reflex abilities.
One person is already so difficult to deal with, but imagine when he encounters a group, or even an army...
"Let's solve this first!"
"Large-scale fighting is a matter over there!"
His indifferent eyes narrowed slightly.
The moment when Rakshasa's arms created by magic came together.
Lightning speed!
Legendary combat reflexes!
When the two legendary specialties were activated at the same time, Barrett's figure was in a daze for a moment. The next moment, he seemed to have completed the clone technique, and one figure was directly divided into three.
On the left, block the arm of the giant gorilla, and slash with the shadow blade!
On the right, with a back bump, Shadow Blade made another opportunity attack by turning around!
In the middle, he first crouched down and launched an attack of opportunity at the same time. He directly bypassed the resistance cloak, and the Shadow Blade instantly stabbed Rakshasa behind him!
Three figures, moving at the same time, this extremely oppressive visual feeling, as if the material level has undergone some kind of change!
It wasn't until the backstab was completed and Rakshasa's evil black blood began to shoot out that the three figures merged into one in an instant, and the oppression on their vision returned to normal.
Even Rakshasa's reflexes were finally reflected at this moment.
With a wave of sword light, the two dragon-winged kobolds were driven back. With the sudden attack of the vest, they were stabbed in the back. As the magic arm was cut off, although they were frightened and angry, they still did not lose their composure.
The body is bowed, half-twirling, the tiger's legs are like whips, and the elemental scimitar also moves along with the trend. One sword follows instinct, like flowing light like lightning, and the other is carefully charging up, with defense first.
Although Rakshasa is naturally proud, in this short period of contact, he has clearly grasped that this is a legendary shadow assassin. Even the sophistication of his equipment is superior to him, and he cannot do anything about it. Ruran, especially... suffered several heavy blows in succession. If it weren't for his "Tenacity" specialty, even if he was seriously injured by heavy blows, he could still maintain a considerable degree of combat effectiveness. An ordinary warrior would have fallen to the ground at this time. It’s hard to move!
However, although he was cautious, but... what he faced was Barrett who had activated two legendary specialties, especially combat specialties. He regarded him as a powerful enemy and attacked with all his strength!
The legendary Shadow Assassin's already extraordinary speed, when activated with lightning speed, makes it difficult for the eyes to take in the movements.
There are also legendary combat reflexes, with almost no superfluous actions.
The Rakshasa's roundhouse kick is a smooth slash, and there is a defensive force to hold back.
Barrett was like a possessed shadow, clinging to his back almost like a shadow.
The textbook backstab and twister, which should have been classic sneak attacks, were used in his hands at the speed of a heavy rainstorm, even more violent than a monk's attack.
Rakshasa's blow missed, and the elemental scimitar instantly reversed direction again.
Barrett simply leaned up and turned sideways, moved in a small area with great precision, and struggled to avoid three consecutive strikes from the elemental scimitar.
The Blade of Shadow, which had been unstoppable, finally stopped.
He moved his steps and retreated dozens of feet. With a breath, the lightning speed state was finally lifted.
Such extreme operation, even if it only lasted less than ten seconds, caused a layer of hot sweat to form on Barrett's forehead, and even his breathing became heavier.
And as he retreated.
Rakshasa's movements also stopped at the same time.
The eyes had returned to their normal form from pure darkness, and the double pupils stared intently at Barrett for a few seconds.
His elemental curved blade suddenly thrust into the ground, and the figure fell to his knees.
Another wisp of black smoke was rising from his body, rising twistedly, like the devil's vicious roar, creating an extremely evil atmosphere.
But within a few seconds, the black smoke quickly disappeared into the void.
"Go and see the werewolves!"
"After everything is resolved and returned to the army, I will report all your achievements, including helping me to deal with this Rakshasa. When the time comes, your master will naturally give you corresponding rewards!"
Barrett glanced at the two dragon-winged kobolds in the sky.
See the unconcealed greed in the eyes of these two kobolds when they looked at the Rakshasa's body.
He said flatly.
"Okay, leave it to us!"
Although the kobolds coveted Rakshasa's equipment, they did not dare to do anything in front of Barrett. When they heard Barrett's words again, they immediately followed his orders and left.
With just a few flutters of their wings, the two of them disappeared into the dense jungle like ghosts.
Barrett then walked towards Rakshasa.
His heavy breathing slowly calmed down with the pace of his steps.
His legendary specialty is lightning speed. Even he can only burst for about thirty seconds a day.
This Rakshasa alone used up almost one-third of his maximum burst, and it was still assisted by the dragon-winged kobolds. This shows how powerful this synthetic war weapon is!
And that's not all...
Thinking of the wisp of black smoke just now, Barrett's eyes flickered slightly again.
With the focus of the place of eternal life on the place of synthesis, the corresponding information of Rakshasa is naturally the most important focus.
"It is said that the souls of these guys have the ability to be reborn. Even if they die, as long as their souls are not imprisoned, they will still have the opportunity to complete rebirth from the place of synthesis."
"The only way to completely destroy them is to completely destroy the place of synthesis!"
"The good thing is that their rebirth is not a resurrection like a complete resurrection. If they want to completely restore their strength, it will take at least three to five years to complete!"
After skillfully removing the Rakshasa's equipment, after thinking for a moment, Barrett took his neck with one hand and quickly disappeared into the shadow of the jungle.
…
Not long after.
Where the main force is.
"To be able to fight you head-on, I should be among the elite in the Rakshasa Army!"
"Such elites can be sent for investigation... It seems that the Third Research Institute is already waiting for us in front!"
Stat looked at the Rakshasa body for a few times, and then suddenly looked at the two dragon lichs: "Among the Rakshasa army, the most powerful one is the four-armed Rakshasa King. Not only does he have more powerful attack capabilities, but he also has He has the supernatural ability to fly in the air, and also has spell-like abilities such as "chain lightning", "lightning beam", "invisibility", "magic missile", etc. However, although the Rakshasa King is powerful, these two are exactly who they are. Their nemesis, their elemental scimitars of at least +4 quality, their powerful lightning spells, and their ability to fly in the air are all restrained by these two beings. I wonder if the two of them are willing to take turns joining the investigation team. Eliminate as much danger as possible for the army on the road ahead?"
When talking about "an elemental scimitar of at least +4 quality", Start naturally raised his voice a little.
What followed was the dracolich's burning soul eye.
Dragon Lich is naturally immune to lightning, and is not affected by damage effects such as heavy hits and huge wounds. Its flying ability is also above the ability of "walking in the air"... It seems that, as Stat said, no matter how powerful it is, The Cha King, faced with the Dragon Lich, was naturally weakened by most of his strength.
Here are "+4 magic weapons" and more magic equipment...
"Can!"
"To completely destroy the place of synthesis is our goal!"
Black Dragon Lich and Green Dragon Lich looked at each other and nodded.
+4 magic weapons, there must still be other enchanted elemental scimitars, which are worth at least 50,000 gold coins.
Even if there is no other magic equipment, this is worth their efforts.
"Then I'll leave it to you two!"
Start smiled and nodded, and casually exchanged eyes with Barrett. The shadow assassin understood what she meant, and nodded lightly with the same casualness.
"Count me in!"
At this time, the voice of the werewolf leader suddenly broke in. His wild eyes looked at Stat and said in a deep voice: "Seven years ago, I fought against the four-armed Rakshasa King Ezekiel. That time It was because the mage of the Elemental Blade intervened that we couldn't have a good fight. If we have a chance to meet again this time, he is mine!"
Stat regarded him as purely warlike and nodded in response: "The jungle environment is the world of the Hagros people. It is natural that the leader of the Orcosa tribe is willing to take action. However, since the Rakshasa have arrived, The fusion monsters at the place of synthesis must have arrived. Clan leader and all of you, if you encounter abnormal creatures, you must be more alert."
Fusion monster, this is a more cruel creation of the merging place after the lycanthrope rebellion.
Directly fuse beasts with beasts, or even fuse beasts into humans.
Although it is chaotic and the actual strength is not satisfactory, but... the scale and quantity do not need to be suppressed!
After a quick explanation, the people who had temporarily gathered because of Rakshasa's body quickly dispersed.
"What did you find?"
Start's eyes then looked towards Isaac.
Isaac, who had not said a word, was still observing Rakshasa's body.
At Stat's voice, he raised his eyes slightly, and a slightly strange look was still in his eyes: "I smell some hell, or the smell of Shura field. There are some methods in the synthesis place, which can actually use this kind of power. , throw yourself into Rakshasa! These guys should be regarded as semi-purgatory creatures! Not only do they have strong spell resistance and strong bodies, but only weapons with sacred power can cause normal damage. In addition... "
The voice stopped, and he meant the word "other" in his heart.
In addition... this Rakshasa, even if it was just a corpse, actually gave him a familiar feeling.
It's like...
"Ossus from Chaos City appears in the form of a vampire noble!"
"However, the similarities between them..."
Isaac had all sorts of speculations in his mind.
"If it were just a Rakshasa, it would be easier to deal with it."
"However, the appearance of Rakshasa means not only the fusion monsters, but also the arrival of those guys from the 'Elemental Blade'!"
"Barrett, you should always pay attention to the fact that they block the space and cannot perform shadow movement or shadow walking!"
"Issac, although there are dracolich and werewolves who have taken the initiative to attack, no matter whether there will be any big changes in the jungle, or whether those guys will raid here, your army, especially the Dragonfly Army, is also You need to be more prepared.”
Stat said solemnly.
Attacks by mages, especially attacks by combat mages like the Elemental Blade... No one can say that they can be absolutely defensive!
