What bad luck!
The half-elf ranger transformed into a black panther and galloped through the forest, cursing in his heart. The flames almost completely surrounded him, but the half-elf ranger did not dare to relax. He looked around, then gritted his teeth, leaped forward, passed through the blazing flames in front of him, and then rolled over to put out the flames on his body. At this moment, another explosion sounded, and a hole was blown out at the place where the half-elf ranger had just stood.
This is so terrible!
After several attempts, the half-elf ranger also had an understanding of his opponent. The opponent had a total of three "shells" with different effects. The first one had a strong explosion range and impact force. In the eyes of the half-elf ranger, it was not much smaller than the magic cannon on the ordinary city wall fortress.
The second type seems to focus more on penetration. Even the hardest rock can be penetrated easily. Being hit by this kind of shell may not blow you into pieces, but... the half-elf ranger doesn't think it would be a good experience to have a hole in his body.
As for the third type, it will directly explode and burn, forming a fierce flame. This is also the most troublesome thing for the Half-elf Ranger. The opponent does not seem to be at all panicked about his sudden attack. The Half-elf Ranger can feel that his opponent is changing direction while attacking him.
Use shells that can explode with fire to limit his range of movement. If he hides, use penetrating shells to force him out. Once he diverts his attention, an explosive shell will come to talk to him about his ideals in life... Now the half-elf ranger feels as if he is trapped in a cage full of traps. If he sticks his head out, he will be stabbed, and if he hides his head, he will also be stabbed. There is no good choice!
At this moment, the fur of the black panther he transformed into had been scorched in several places, but the half-elf ranger didn't even have time to dodge and breathe. The terrain here was relatively flat, without any undulating mountains. The dense forests could not stop the opponent's lock at all, and the hard rocks were completely useless.
This also resulted in the Half-elf Ranger being able to only run forward under the opponent's attack. Now he had only one goal, which was to close the distance with the enemy, and then... engage in close combat with the opponent!
As a ranger, the half-elf not only possesses a miraculous archery skill, but is also proficient in close combat. In his opinion, he is absolutely no match for the opponent in long-range attacks, but according to the half-elf's experience, generally speaking, such a long-range specialized opponent will have shortcomings in close combat. If he can get close to the opponent, then he still has the strength to fight!
At least... at least it's better than just getting beaten without being able to fight back!
At the same time, the onlookers around were completely stunned by the scenes before them.
In order to prevent cheating, the "broadcast" outside the venue only broadcasts those ongoing battles, and naturally does not broadcast those that have not started. So at the moment, all people saw were Aihara Enju against Alfred, Chishou Natsuyo against the red-armored warrior, and the half-elf ranger who was beaten and fled with his head in his hands.
But even so, it was enough to make the onlookers' eyes pop out.
Originally, everyone including Oglan and Bishop Karl thought that the children on Fang Zheng's side might suffer a great loss, because in their opinion, even if these children are indeed gifted and powerful, they have little combat experience, which is also normal. After all, in the main world, geniuses of this age are generally held as treasures by their families or certain forces, fearing that something might go wrong. They may be able to get the best education and the best training, but at the same time they will be very safe.
This is also to avoid accidents or being preemptively attacked by people from the hostile family, so as to cut the grass and completely eliminate future troubles.
In the eyes of these people, the children around Fang Zheng were probably the same. Therefore, they did not have any expectations for the fighting ability of these children.
But when the battle really started, the performance of these kids surprised everyone!!
When facing the enemy, they transformed from innocent and romantic children into experienced warriors. Xia Shi, Yan Zhu and Tina all showed extraordinary combat experience and skills. They were so experienced that they didn't look like rookies who had just faced a battle, but more like experienced warriors!
How is this possible?
Everyone was puzzled by this. How could these children have such rich combat experience? Even Alfred, a well-known strong man, couldn't stand up to them?
Of course, they didn't know that although Xia Shi and the others were young, they had experienced many battles. In the dark world, they spent most of their time fighting with gastrula. Although Fang Zheng had freed the cursed children, in order to protect those cursed children still in the dark world, Xia Shi and the others would occasionally return to that world to eliminate some gastrula that would threaten the settlement.
Many of these protogastric animals have very unique abilities and are very powerful. In the battles with these protogastric animals, these cursed children have also accumulated a lot of combat experience. So from this point of view, they are not lacking in relevant experience.
If there is no difference in combat experience, then what follows is a competition of strength and combat skills between the two sides.
But unfortunately... Alfred and others do not have an advantage in this regard...
"clang!!"
The sword flashed, and Yanzhu turned around and kicked out. Both of them swayed at the same time, and then retreated away from each other.
“Haa…haa…not bad, uncle, you are quite amazing…”
While panting, Yanzhu looked at Alfred with a smile, but Alfred, who was sweating profusely, couldn't even smile at this moment.
"You too... I didn't expect that..."
At this point, Alfred tightly grasped his sword, not knowing what to say for a moment. He had never thought that he would actually end up fighting a girl who was less than ten years old.
If I suffered a loss because I underestimated the opponent during the first fight with Aihara Enju, then this time, I did not let my guard down at all but still could not defeat the opponent, which was very telling.
This child is such a monster...
"In that case, let's stop here. Xia Shi has already said that we should end the battle as soon as possible, so..."
Having said this, Yanzhu suddenly paused and looked at Alfred with a smile.
"Uncle, I'm leaving first. Goodbye!"
After saying this, Yanzhu suddenly kicked the ground with her feet, and then she actually turned around and ran!
Huh? What is this?
Seeing Yanzhu turn away, Alfred was stunned, but his reaction was not slow. He quickly swung his sword and slashed at Yanzhu. But what surprised Alfred was that just as he slashed with his sword, he saw a petite figure suddenly appear in front of him. Behind her was a pair of golden wings, and there was no expression on her calm face...
How could this happen? Wasn't this kid fighting Vincent? How did he appear here?
But before Alfred could think about it, he saw Xia Shi stretched out his right hand and raised it forward. Soon, a transparent blue barrier quickly emerged, blocking Alfred's sword light. At this moment, suddenly, a voice came from behind Alfred.
“Get out of the way!!”
"Vincent?!"
Hearing the voice, Alfred quickly turned his head and saw the red-armored warrior with a serious expression on his face. He also quickly tried to dodge to the side.
But the next moment, something happened that surprised Alfred.
Just as he and the red-armored warrior were about to dodge to the sides, Xia Shi suddenly clenched her hands. As she moved, golden light particles suddenly appeared in the empty air. These light particles quickly turned into shackles, binding the two of them tightly in place.
Then, Xia Shi raised her right hand high, and the wings of light behind her suddenly spread out. Then, a golden, huge circular magic circle appeared above Xia Shi's head, and the dazzling light began to condense and turned into a terrifying force. But at this moment, Alfred and the red-armored warrior no longer had the strength to break free.
"Apollo systems activated...launch."
After saying this, Xia Shi gently waved his right hand downwards.
Then, the roaring and dazzling beam of light completely engulfed the enemy in front of her.
