Chapter 264 - A Tricky Combination
At this moment, it was too late for Klein to wield the Endless Sword.
The pincers were very fast and covered a large area.
Even if Klein were to wield the Endless Sword, it would be difficult for him to escape the pincers" attack range.
The best outcome was that the moment Klein raised the Endless Sword, he would be bitten by the pincers before he could exert any force. Then, under the pressure of the pincers, the Endless Sword would become a lethal weapon that could cut through Klein"s body.
It had to be said that the attacks of the three demonic beasts were too well coordinated!
Klein looked at the concentrated attacks. Almost no one could withstand such a joint attack.
First was the first wave of attacks from the invisible archer, which caused Klein to be in a state of panic.
Second was the sound waves in the sky, which forced Klein to use earth magic to defend himself.
However, he fell into their trap. After the earth magic disappeared, the dust that was stirred up also provided perfect protection for the Armored Scorpion.
Therefore, when Klein thought that the enemy"s attack had ended, the Armored Scorpion made another move. It directly used its innate skill to catch Klein off guard.
At this critical moment, Klein didn"t dare to be careless. With a thought, he summoned Little Wind, allowing it to use its a.s.sault Hammer to forcefully control the Armored Scorpion.
When Little Wind saw the situation in front of him, he knew that it wasn"t the time to delay. Therefore, he immediately dug into the ground with his front foot and instantly activated his a.s.sault Hammer, crashing into the Armored Scorpion"s body.
The strong control took effect, and the Armored Scorpion was stunned for five seconds.
Seeing that Little Wind had completed his mission, Klein hurriedly summoned Little Wind back.
Then, he picked up the Endless Sword and quickly retreated.
As he retreated, his actions weren"t slow. With a powerful wave of his hand, a terrifying saber beam shot out from the Endless Sword.
He remembered the system"s prompt. This combination was too terrifying.
It was designed to deal three blows in the sky, on the ground, and underground.
G.o.d knew how they could come up with such a combination.
And judging from their techniques, they were clearly very experienced.
Then, he looked at the withered bones beneath his feet. There were bound to be many powerful adventurers who had fallen at their hands.
This unsolvable combo could almost instantly kill most adventurers.
Klein had also been in a critical moment, allowing Little Wind to take the risk in the end to dodge it.
However, it was precisely because he had dodged the first attack that he could see the key point of this combination.
That was what the system had said, the Armored Scorpion!
That"s right, the most crucial part of this combination was the Armored Scorpion that burrowed into the ground.
Therefore, Klein took advantage of its illness to take its life. The terrifying saber beam directly bombarded it, preparing to strike first to gain the upper hand and break their combination.
The Armored Scorpion falling into a daze was something that neither Rogue Archer nor the Harpy had expected.
It was a sure-kill attack, but in the end, not only did it not kill him, it even allowed him to escape!
Although they didn"t know the reason, it was clear that those who could escape from this combo were definitely not weaklings.
With this thought in mind, the Harpy roared at the sky and released an ear-piercing sound wave attack.
Wah!
The ear-piercing sound directly broke the silence of the entire catacombs.
Klein, who was dozens of meters away, had no choice but to cover his ears when he heard the sound.
At that moment, the Armored Scorpion"s dizziness was interrupted by the sound.
The Armored Scorpion was suddenly jolted awake. Looking at the saber beam in front of it and sensing the thick aura of death within, the Armored Scorpion knew that it would definitely die if it didn"t dodge!
However, the saber beam was too fast.
It could have dodged in the beginning, but now, it was difficult!
With no other choice, the Armored Scorpion could only wave one of its pincers and take the initiative to attack the saber beam.
With a crack, the pincers that took the initiative to attack were instantly cut in half.
The broken pincers also bought enough time for the Armored Scorpion.
It gritted its teeth and instantly activated its innate skill to drill into the ground crazily. Soon, its ma.s.sive body quickly disappeared from Klein"s sight.
And the Endless Sword ruthlessly slashed at the final spot of the scorpion, exploding with terrifying elemental power.
The scorpion didn"t escape the attack range of the Endless Sword, so the armor on its back was blasted into a b.l.o.o.d.y mess by the Endless Sword"s saber beam.
Seeing the Armored Scorpion escape, Klein frowned. Sure enough, it wasn"t that easy to deal with.
And what he didn"t expect was that the Harpy in the sky had a restraining effect against compulsory vertigo.
If not for the compulsory vertigo, the Armored Scorpion would have long been killed by the Endless Sword!
But first, the Armored Scorpion was only injured. After losing its pincers and tail, its combat strength was reduced by half.
The combat strength it could unleash next was limited. It could be considered a small gain!
Klein thought about it.
But what about the Harpy?
Klein looked at the rapidly flying Harpy in the sky and couldn"t help but find it difficult.
The Harpy was a flying unit to begin with. In addition, she could use wind magic, and her speed had increased by another level. Even if Klein used wind magic, it would be difficult to catch her.
But just as Klein was thinking about the Harpy, a whooshing sound rang out once again.
This time, it was aimed at Klein"s chest.
Sensing the sound of arrows, Klein frowned and asked, "Is it here again?"
Invisibility attacks were indeed an artifact of hara.s.sment.
As he didn"t know where he came from, he had to be 100% careful at all times.
Klein hurriedly used the earth wall to block, but the Harpy behind him launched another sonic attack.
There was nothing he could do but pa.s.sively block again.
Just as Klein was thinking about how to break the deadlock, there was another movement on the ground.
Klein didn"t dare to be careless and quickly retreated.
Another large scorpion appeared on the ground.
A second one?
Looking at the intact Armored Scorpion, Klein frowned.
"No, it"s not!"
Klein instantly made a judgment.
This Armored Scorpion seemed to have all four limbs intact, but if one looked closely, there were obvious signs of a new life at the top of its tail.
It was especially so for a large pincer. The white membrane on it hadn"t been removed completely.
Clearly, the scorpion had recovered its severed limbs.
Klein couldn"t help but frown when he saw this. Clearly, this combination was harder to fight than he had imagined.
Because he had prepared beforehand, Klein easily escaped the Armored Scorpion"s attack range.
Seeing Klein escape again, the Armored Scorpion couldn"t help but roar at Klein.
The Armored Scorpion, which was the size of a house, also had a huge mouth. It opened its large mouth and spat out a green sticky substance.
Klein dodged it, and the sticky substance hit the dry bone on the side. Then, the sticky substance hung the dry bone upside down and instantly sank into the Armored Scorpion"s dense teeth. In a short moment, it was chewed to shreds.
However, the Armored Scorpion"s second attack didn"t succeed, so it didn"t have a barrier. The third attack soon arrived.
As the Armored Scorpion roared, two pairs of pincers slammed onto the ground. Following that, the sound of the ground shaking could be heard.
