Chapter 148: Chapter 147: A Hopeless Gap!
Translator: 549690339
“May I ask your name, Sir?”Elmin asked cautiously. The other party didn’t look like an orc. If possible, he would rather avoid this battle. Perhaps… ? … It was just a misunderstanding?
Gunther, who was standing at the side, didn’t interrupt. He had always been a belligerent, but this time, he actually became obedient. This made Elmin even more afraid of this person in front of her.
“Xu Xian…”the elf player slowly opened his mouth, as he was too embarra.s.sed to say the words ‘gra.s.s snake’at the end, he was still too embarra.s.sed to say his name. He thought to himself, if I knew this was such a serious game, I would have given it an elegant name.
A very strange name… ? Elmin looked at the other party. It did not look like they were from the empire. Could they be from the west?
“Friend, we are from the steel martial empire. We are here to take back Molendo’s expeditionary force. May I ask if there is any misunderstanding this time?”Ayermin asked.
“No misunderstanding, no misunderstanding…”Xu Xian shook his head. “I’m here to capture you and sell you for money. The two of you look quite powerful. You should be more valuable than ordinary farmers.”
Ayermin was stunned when he heard that. He looked at the other party with a strange expression. Then, he looked at the cage behind the other party and frowned immediately.
Such a powerful guy was actually a human trafficker?
Moreover, he was actually sold to them? Which force was so ambitious?
“Boss, be careful…”Colton, who was lying on the ground, said anxiously, “That guy… is very likely a legend!”
“Legend…”Almin’s pupils slightly shrank. He believed that his subordinate would not shoot off without reason. Since he said so, even if the other party was not a legend, it was probably not much different… …
Suddenly… A night wind blew across the confrontation scene. The player’s cloak was gently lifted, revealing a beautifully crafted longbow on his back.
“Ranger?”Aylmin and Gunze exchanged glances and instantly understood the following cooperation.
Moreover, their hearts were slightly relieved. If the other party was a ranger, even if he really had the strength of a legend, he would be easier to deal with than a pure warrior.
“I’ll go first!”Ganze said in a deep voice, “Pay attention to cut off the rear route, don’t let him open the distance!”
Hearing that, Almin nodded slightly. It was rare for the opponent to cooperate so well, so she would be a good a.s.sistant.
Whoosh! !
Ganze took a deep breath, and all the muscles in his body relaxed to the extreme in that instant. However, in the next second, they suddenly burst out, and his whole body was like a taut bowstring. Then, with a bang, a powerful golden battle qi burst out, with a momentum like thunder.., it carried a black tornado and swept towards the pet.i.te figure!
What astonishing speed!
Aylmin sighed in his heart and followed closely behind. However, in terms of explosive power, this a.s.sa.s.sin with long dexterity was obviously not as good as his opponent. However, he was used to it… …
Many people had a misunderstanding. They thought that an a.s.sa.s.sin with dexterity was faster than a warrior with strength. In fact, this was not the case. People with high dexterity only had good control and could increase their speed to the maximum in the shortest amount of time, they could also stop their speed in the shortest amount of time possible. As a result, they appeared to be extremely nimble when it came to control and turning. This also caused many people to mistakenly believe that they were faster than warriors.
In reality, this was not the case. The foundation of speed was strength. Since an a.s.sa.s.sin’s strength was far inferior to a warrior’s, how could he possibly be faster than his opponent? However, a warrior’s control was not as exquisite as an a.s.sa.s.sin’s. When he unleashed his strength, he needed a certain amount of time to develop. Therefore, when this kind of momentum erupted, an a.s.sa.s.sin would often be unable to keep up with a regular warrior, this was also the reason why warriors were suited for fighting on the battlefield while a.s.sa.s.sins were suited for fighting alone on the streets.
Hence, this was also the reason why Aylmin felt that he had a greater chance of winning when he saw that his opponent might be a ranger.
At such a distance, in front of a warrior like Ganzer who was good at charging, no matter how powerful the Ranger was, he would at most have a chance to shoot an arrow. As long as Aylmin could successfully cut off his dodging route.., there was a high chance that he could win this battle.
Elmin stared at his opponent, wanting to see how his opponent would respond. Would he directly draw his bow on the spot or choose to pull a long distance? If it was the latter, he would have to increase his speed to cut off his opponent’s left and right escape routes.
However, what surprised him was that his opponent just stood straight on the spot. He did not even choose to draw his bow. He did not even have the intention of taking down the longbow on his back. Instead, he slowly raised the light weapon in his hand.
That weapon was very strange. It was less than a meter in length, flat and straight. It looked like it was cut on both sides. At first glance, it looked like an extended version of a dagger…
This design caused a strange feeling to rise in Aylmin’s heart. He could not help but think to himself, “This thing…”. “…”. Could it be used as a weapon?
It did not have an arc. One look and one could tell that it was not good for chopping. If it was used only for straight thrusts, and the overly long blade made the entire weapon flexible, the a.s.sa.s.sination would definitely not be as fierce as a dagger…
As an agility-type a.s.sa.s.sin, Elmin was more proficient in short weapons, and he had come into contact with many light weapons. He had come into contact with the machetes of the Western archipelago countries, and the Fang blades that the northern wolf cavalry were good at using, but this was definitely the first time he had seen such a thing.
How should such a thing be used in battle?
Just as he was puzzled, the opponent’s thin and small figure suddenly moved. His body was as light as a b.u.t.terfly, and he actually did not retreat in the face of Ganzer’s powerful attack, but advanced instead!
This caused Elmin, who had originally wanted to cut off his escape routes, to be stunned. He thought to himself, is this guy serious? He actually wants to meet Ganzer head-on with that thing?
But in the next second, the opponent’s actions directly overthrew Elmin’s understanding of battle!
The long sword in the Pet.i.te Man’s hand turned into a ray of silver light and instantly pointed at the side of Ganzer’s giant hammer. Compared to Ganzer’s giant hammer, this toothpick-like short sword actually dared to directly stab at him.., this caused ganze to be inexplicably stunned. He thought to himself, “Is this guy crazy?”?
However, in the next second, the precise force of the stab caused his entire movement to freeze for a moment, causing the distant Aylmin to be stunned.
Although the freeze only lasted for 0.1 seconds, it was indeed… ! … that toothpick-like blade really caused the giant hammer in Ganze’s hand to freeze!
How did he do this? Ayermin was shocked!
Ganzer was feeling extremely uncomfortable at this moment. He could only feel that the force from the tip of the other party’s sword was extremely small, but it was like the tip of a needle piercing into his aura. It was as if it had blocked his point of force, causing his face to instantly flush red. The smooth aura also disappeared without a trace…
Ermin immediately had a look of disbelief on her face. She observed carefully and did not dare to act rashly.
Gunze’s face was flushed red. He continued to control his hammer to smash towards his opponent with great difficulty. Although his aura had dissipated, the force was still there. After being stiff for 0.1 seconds.., the huge hammer would definitely bounce off or even shatter his opponent’s toothpick-like short sword.
Elmin also stared at the opponent, wanting to see what he would do next!
The player smiled slightly. After blocking the opponent’s momentum, he turned his sword momentum and executed the sticky word mantra of the nine basic moves that his mentor taught him. His body turned to the side, and his sword momentum instantly moved like soft water, directly blocking the opponent’s giant hammer, gunze only felt an inexplicable sticky force on the opponent’s sword, as if it was dipped in glue, guiding his giant hammer to slowly change its direction!
In just a second, the brilliant and smooth operation interrupted Gunze’s momentum and also took his strength for himself!
How could a battle be like this? Elmin was dumbstruck!
Gunze was also dumbfounded by the opponent’s technique. Just as he wanted to regain control of his weapon, he saw the opponent pull forward with the giant hammer, and then the long sword left his giant hammer like lightning, at a speed that he could not see clearly, he gently flicked his wrist, and a flower of blood splattered out. Gunze only felt a numbness in his hand, and the giant hammer instantly flew out of his hand.
This is… … Feeling his right hand completely numb, Gunze realized… ! … The tendons in his hand were broken!
No matter what..? … wasn’t that angle a little too tricky?
Almost subconsciously, he wanted to put some distance between them… ? But then he cursed himself for being stupid. The other party was obviously an agility expert. He was already close to such a distance. How could he let him put some distance between them so easily?
As expected… “…”. In the next second, he felt a numbness in his left hand and both of his feet. He instantly lost the last chance to resist!
Immediately, he slowly fell to the ground with an unwilling look on his face.
Not far away, Ermin, who saw this scene, had an even more aghast look on his face. With his eyesight, he was actually unable to see clearly what the opponent’s sword path was like. All he could see were sword flowers.., ganze’s huge body, which was filled with strength, fell to the ground without any resistance!
With a bang, the few of them only heard the sound of the huge hammer flying out and smashing into the big tree. It could be seen how quickly the battle ended!
Run! !
Elmin instantly understood that the opponent in front of him was definitely not someone they could face. He dashed into the dark forest behind him without any hesitation.
He had to bring this news back and tell the marshal that there were really legendary experts here! !
However, just as he took a few steps forward, a chill instantly surged from his heels to his heart. It was as if he was locked onto by something, causing Elmin’s nimble body to instantly stiffen.
Whoosh! In the next second, an arrow flew past his ear and grazed his scalp. Like a sharp blade, it sliced off half of his golden hair and nailed it onto a tree trunk less than three meters in front of him.
Elmin’s entire body stiffened as he looked at the arrow nailed to his hair on the tree trunk in front of him. He suddenly remembered that he and Gunze had initially judged that the other party was a Ranger…
It seemed that their judgment was correct… ? Elmin instantly smiled bitterly with a pale face. However, wasn’t this arrow skill a little too exaggerated?
It was really a hopeless gap… Thinking of this, Elmin slowly turned her head and looked at the incomparably handsome face under the moonlight. She muttered, “This guy…” … Who exactly was he?
