Dark Fairy Tale suddenly felt something bad in his heart when he heard the little girl's cry. He raised his head and looked in the direction of Siesta. The maid lady was stretching out her hands from behind her back, a pair of huge arm armors in the biting cold wind, the metal surface had been atomized by low temperature, like a pair of giant fists of frost.
She opened her arms and jumped down, like a giant eagle, rushing towards him.
"Be careful!" Dark Fairy Tale shouted back.
The next moment, Siesta had fallen heavily to the ground, stirring up a cloud of snowflakes. In the midst of the flying snowflakes, she raised her right hand and pointed the gauntlet directly at the dark fairy tale. With a soft sound of "Woo", the metal leaves on it unfolded one by one, like a giant dragon with scales, and a strong wind screamed from its mouth. , passing through the snowy wind, reaching directly.
She moved so fast that everyone only saw an afterimage.
"Mongoose Leap, Lightning Reflex -" Dark Fairy Tale felt a chill in his heart. This was a fairly high level fighter - no, a boxing saint - this was at least a twenty level fighter.
The opponent's gauntlet was quite weird. He had never seen this type of fighter's magic weapon before.
Dark Fairy took a step back and rolled up his long gray cloak. His cloak was a very precious auxiliary magic weapon that could perfectly resist an attack that did not exceed its upper limit of protection.
He saw the gray cloak rolled up in front of him, and the ether lines on it glowed slightly, and a silver hexagonal magic shield emerged, hanging in the air. But to his surprise, the wind blade passed through the snow and dispersed before it could get close, bringing only snowflakes all over the sky.
"Not enough range-?"
Dark Fairy Tale was slightly startled. He raised his hand to cover the snowflakes flying towards his face. At the same time, he stepped aside in anticipation and turned to retreat, using a snake-like avoidance commonly used by rangers.
This is to prevent the other party from pursuing you by taking advantage of your sight.
Moreover, he also changed his footing and took an abnormal direction to prevent the other party from predicting his avoidance position.
The three actions were almost completed in one go, and a coherent tactic had been formed in his mind. Dark Fairy Tale felt that his judgment should be perfect, but suddenly, he only saw a shadow flashing past him.
Dark Fairy Tale turned back in astonishment——
The young man lying on the ground in the distance could see it more clearly.
He saw the maid lady landing, turned around, and shot out a wind blade amidst the flying snowflakes. The wind blade dissipated in mid-air, bringing a cloud of snowflakes to cover everyone in Ragnarok.
Then she moved forward with force, like a sharp arrow shooting towards the Ragnarok crowd, as if she had made an agreement with the ranger headed by the opponent. The latter stepped aside amid the snowflakes in the sky, and passed by the maid lady.
The young man who fell to the ground, his face black and blue from the cold, held his breath for a moment.
Who is the other party? He originally thought that the people on the platform were in the same group as Ragnarok, but it seemed not to be the case, and the strength shown by the other party did not seem to be inferior to Ragnarok's.
Some names that were familiar to the world immediately flashed through his mind——
Is it Silver Vislan?
Or Elite?
The dark fairy turned around and saw only a silhouette of Siesta in the snowy wind. Dressed in black, she was like a vigorous black panther, rushing towards the crowd.
When he saw that direction, he couldn't help but buzz in his head - that was where the healer in the team was. But how did the woman know where their priest was?
"Hold her off!"
he shouted sharply.
The warriors in Ragnarok's team reacted quickly and raised their large shields to block the maid's path. The magic furnace behind him flashed slightly, and the ether lines on the giant shield lit up one by one, making a "chi" sound and expelling four streams of white energy to the left and right sides.
The giant shield sank down and settled firmly into the snow.
But Siesta did not dodge, and punched the giant shield directly. The metal leaves on her arm armor closed from front to back, and an impact ripple swept away centered on the impact point.
The giant shield dented backwards, as if even the air was cracked. The iron guard only had time to utter a national curse: "Fuck..." before he and his shield flew backwards, pressed on the priest, and fell into the snow.
After a moment, a loud bang echoed.
Overloaded power, explosive blow——
There was a moment of silence in the wind and snow.
Dark Fairy Tale never expected that the other party would be so decisive. The explosive attack required the magic furnace to burn two-thirds of its mana in an overloaded state, increasing the next attack's attack power and physical penetration by 30%.
This attack cannot change the target midway, nor can it be redirected. Once it fails, it will be equivalent to wasting two-thirds of the mana, and it will also use up the chance of overloading the magic furnace.
And this is also the only skill that a fighter - or a boxing saint below level 40 - can match the single-target burst of an assassin, but the conditions for use are much more stringent.
It’s not that no one uses it, but if the target used to instantly kill is not a high-value target, the fighter himself will be in a disadvantageous situation; at least Dark Fairy Tale has not seen it, there will be people fighting alone against many enemies. , use this trick as soon as you come up.
And it was this inertial thinking that caused them to suffer a big loss.
He was looking back.
There was nothing serious about the Iron Guard there, except that the durability of the giant shield had been reduced by more than half, but the priest was in dire straits, and the shield almost failed to save his life. But he was seriously injured, lost his healing ability, and had to drag another wet nurse in the team to help him survive.
In other words, they will not have any other assistance for a while.
"Has she even calculated that gear...?"
This possibility suddenly flashed through Dark Fairy's mind. As the leader of this adventure group, he was a little hesitant for the first time.
But if you are here, you will definitely tell the other party with good intentions. This is simply overthinking. Because this is actually the usual fighting style of this maid lady. She puts all her strength into it as soon as she comes up. Rather than being a fighter, it is better to be called a berserker.
Of course, the other party is not just reckless. In fact, her advantage on the other hand, even in Fang?'s opinion, is one of the best among the selectors he has seen, but she often kills her opponents with one blow, which is rarely seen on weekdays.
In fact, during daily training, Siesta tortured him and Luo Yu to death in the confrontation, and the maid lady was much scarier than the patient big cat man when she took action.
But dark fairy tales don’t know this.
He just suddenly realized that he didn't have much room to make concessions. The target was there. If he couldn't complete the task, he would probably become a laughing stock when he returned. What's more, the opponent's level is only around level 20, which is not beyond his original imagination.
He was certain in his heart, and then he raised his hand and shouted: "She has been overloaded and is now in a weak state. Besiege her!"
Siesta stepped back slightly and lowered her hands. In the cold wind, white mist was seen between the metal leaves, and ice and snow fell on them, melting and disappearing in an instant.
A few hundred meters away, a clockwork fairy was hovering in the snowy wind, and the camera angle changed slightly with a 'click'.
In fact, there was no need for Dark Fairy Tale to issue an order. After all, the Ragnarok team was all experienced veterans. Two swordsmen, including a two-handed swordsman and a musketeer, had already attacked one after another.
The swordsmanship between the two of them was extremely superb, including large cross cuts, small cross cuts, vertical thrusts, and cleaves. The swordsman's skills were at their fingertips, and there was no sense of awkwardness in the swordsmanship between ordinary Chosen swordsmen.
With the assistance of the system, the swordsmanship of the two has almost reached the level that aboriginal swordsmen have been immersed in for many years. Apart from some strictness, there are no major shortcomings.
But both of them soon became numb.
Probably due to the overload of the magic furnace and the lack of mana, the maid in front of him did not launch another attack. But she just defended herself, and her defense was watertight.
Some defensive movements were so concise that they were almost omitted. Just let go and the huge gauntlet firmly blocked the swordsman's sword. The maid didn't even make much movement. She took a step back and neutralized the two men's attack.
The sword blades crossed and sparks flew, seemingly blocking a fast attack, but the expression on Shesta's face did not even change.
What chilled the two of them the most was that of course Ragnarok had various special trainings, and they had experienced battles with fighters, but some of Shesta's movements were clearly irregular in their opinion——
But they just couldn't get past their defenses.
"She's so balanced!"
"Someone come from behind and hold her back."
"Are there any spells?"
The two shouted bravely.
If Luo Yu, Parker and others were here, they would probably laugh out loud. The maid lady is extremely talented in combat. Even the big cat people have said that her balance and reaction ability are extraordinary. If she attacks, she may not be able to break through the defense of her opponents at the same level.
But on defense, it would be difficult for a character below level 25 to make her take a step back.
The maid lady dares to let go and attack, so she naturally has something to rely on. In fact, she showed this trait during the battle with Dolifen. But after a few more actual battles, and under the guidance of the big cat man, the maid became more and more familiar with such tactics.
Everyone privately nicknamed her "The Maid of the Iron Wall". Of course, in every sense, it was not just the "Iron Wall" in that aspect.
As for the hardships Fang Yu, Luo Yu and Parker endured in their daily training, now others can finally experience it.
"Blood Wings," Dark Fairy Turned back and called out to the elemental user in the team, "You prepare the spell. You are a water and air elementalist, so this place is more suitable for you to perform."
The latter nodded, stepped out from the crowd, raised his hand, and after about two or three seconds, an empty crystal appeared in his hand.
When the young man lying on the ground saw this scene, he was secretly anxious. Although it was just a ring of crystal, the speed at which the opponent gathered elements was somewhat astonishing.
This is clearly a professional element.
He couldn't help but look at the maid lady in the battle, hoping that the other party would find the elemental user hiding in the dark - but unfortunately it didn't seem to be the case. Siesta was very focused and didn't care about the situation in the outside world.
He opened his mouth to shout, but another magician had obviously been monitoring the situation in this direction. The ice golem pressed down and buried his head in the snow, causing him to only make a whining sound.
Dark Fairy Tale couldn't bear to be insecure, and while letting people go around to get close to the little girl, he nocked his bow and arrow, and replaced it with a twining arrow, preparing to interfere with Shesta's movements. Although his own people were also within the melee range, he calculated well. The winding arrow did not cause fatal damage and had little effect on his own people. Even if he missed the shot, it would not be a big problem.
What's more, he is very confident in his shooting skills.
But just as he opened his bow, a warning sign suddenly flashed through his heart, and he subconsciously stepped aside. There was a flash of fire in the distance and a gunshot was heard. The bullet passed through the wind and snow and hit the place where he had been standing.
Dark Fairy Tale raised his head and saw another person appearing on the platform, pointing a smoking gun in his direction.
He sucked in a breath of air. Aitaria's magic musket was very lagging behind, and its accuracy was just that. The spear was okay, and the hand musket could hit so accurately at such a long distance in the cold wind.
Why are there monsters one after another on this platform?
And judging from the opponent's attire, he is still a musketeer. Does this mean that the musketeer who specializes in swordsmanship now also has the shooting skills of a gunner?
Baggins squinted his injured eye and spat. Although his level had dropped a lot, it was mainly due to his physical fitness and his past experience was still there. This shot was expected, but he didn't expect the other party to be so alert.
He threw away the gun, untied a cable, and like an old sailor who jumped into the gang, he pulled out his sword and grabbed the rope and swung downwards.
"Be careful, there's another one!"
Dark Fairy Tale heard someone shouting behind him. Apparently, other people in Ragnarok's team also saw Baggins breaking through the ice fog.
He had not forgotten his duty, and turned around to command: "Don't mess up - the iron guards protect the caster, Chen Shu, go up and stop that guy." The person he called was the substitute musketeer in the team.
As a substitute, the opponent is naturally not as powerful as the musketeer who fought with Siesta, but he is only slightly worse in shooting skills, but he still has a proud swordsmanship - of course, he is the leader among the selectors of this level. Be proud of it.
Dark Fairy Tale has already seen through the system that Baggins' level is not high. He thought that the opponent's shooting skills should be very ordinary, otherwise the level experience would not be justified.
And with Chen Shu's level, it shouldn't be a big problem to block the opponent.
He was actually helpless.
There are only so many people in a team, so of course it is impossible to cover everything. There are thirteen people in their group. Excluding the useless alchemist who has no fighting ability, there are only twelve people.
Among them were two healers, one magician, and two elementalists, a total of five spellcasters, accounting for nearly half of them. To protect so many spellcasters, two Iron Guards are necessary. These people cannot join the front-line battle.
The remaining five people, apart from him, are a two-handed swordsman, two musketeers - a main force, a substitute, and a nightingale. And the Nightingale was ordered by him to find the little girl, so there was only this substitute musketeer.
But what the dark fairy tale never expected was——
Chen Shucai, whom he sent up, had a face-to-face encounter with the musketeer and suffered a heavy loss. I saw the opponent's musketeer dropped the rope in his hand and struck forward with his sword. The two swords intersected with a trembling sound.
But the latter did not retreat, and only used the blade to cut along the blade of his sword. This was the 'cutting' of a dexterous swordsman - of course, the thin swords used by musketeers were guarded, so there was no need to worry about being struck by the sword. Cut off the fingers.
But when Chen Shu saw this scene, he was secretly happy. He thought he had a trick, and immediately prepared to follow the opponent's sword with a heavy blow. He took a step forward, faced the edge, and struck with the sword. Dark Fairy Tale happened to see this scene from the side, and he knew something was wrong just by looking at his movements, because the musketeer didn't appear to be in a hurry, which was probably a trick to lure the enemy.
Sure enough, as soon as Chen Shu made a move, Baggins suddenly showed off his skills in a dazzling way. He reversed the cage handle and put it on his sword, which actually jammed the rapier blade. Then he raised his leg and kicked him out.
"I'm too impatient." He then took off the thin sword between the cage handles and threw it back to the young man: "If you want to be a swordsman, you have to practice more."
The sword was thrust into Chen Shu's side with a bang, making the latter tremble in fright. When he raised his head, he realized that the other party had not killed him.
He was stunned for a moment, wondering if he should pick up the sword and attack again. Dark Fairy Tale looked at him and almost lost his temper: "Why are you still in a daze? Come on again!"
But Chen Shu was stunned for a moment and said: "But he didn't kill me. According to the rules of a swordsman, I can't take action again."
Dark Fairy Tale was speechless for a while, knowing that there was no hope for this retarded person before he reacted. If no one can stop the opponent's musketeer and let him rush to the back row, the remaining iron guard behind will probably not be able to stop him.
He had already seen that Baggins's previous sword was not very powerful, but the timing of the dexterous swordsman's 'sword seizing technique' showed that he was extremely experienced - this was an aborigine, and he immediately realized this .
He no longer cared about Siesta's side, turned his longbow and aimed at Baggins.
Baggins glanced at the opponent's swordsman, nodded to him, then stepped back and disappeared into the snow. He had no intention of confronting Dark Fairy Tale. He could tell that this young man was not simple.
He restrained the opponent's swordsman based on his experience, but this team was dominated by spellcasters. Once he was held back by the ranger, he and Siesta would be at a disadvantage as soon as the opponent's spell preparation was completed.
When Dark Fairy Tale saw Baggins disappear, his vision almost went dark - the other party also had a Nightingale level, which might not be high, but it was enough in this windy and snowy weather. He subconsciously realized something, picked up the communication crystal and shouted:
"Nightingale, be careful over there, someone is looking for you."
There was a moment of shock, and then a muffled groan came from the crystal, obviously it had been attacked.
"Dry!"
The Dark Fairy Tale was so angry that he cursed, quickly picked up his bow and chased in that direction.
However, it seems that Baggins will not intend to cut into their back row for a while. This is probably the only place that gives the dark fairy tale some peace of mind.
