Chapter 294 Black Swordsman, Brave Lion Slash
Eliphis did not pick up the black swordsman's "charity", but used his magic power to condense a magic rapier with high temperature and electric current.
Even after experiencing the double attack from Overlord and Xialong, he still remained calm in the battle. When he saw the black swordsman's heavy armor, he immediately thought of using high temperature and electric shock as countermeasures.
As for why he chose the rapier, it was his personal habit. Although the difference between the giant sword and the rapier seemed like heaven and earth, with Eliphis's fighting skills, he would not be at a disadvantage.
As a man who climbed up step by step from the bottom, his fighting skills are far stronger than his magical attainments. Magic alone cannot suppress the mercenaries!
The black swordsman held the greatsword in both hands and faced Eliphis from a distance.
"Captain, let's help too!"
When the mercenary shouted this, Eliphis moved. He combined magic flash and accelerated combat skills to achieve a lightning-fast attack. The rapier flashing with flames and electricity instantly arrived in front of the black swordsman!
"bump--"
The heavy sound of collision echoed, the air waves stirred up endless dust, and small stones on the rock wall kept falling down.
When the rapier was about to hit, the black swordsman slashed down with his giant sword, choosing to exchange injury for injury instead of defending!
What a wild fighting style, just like a beast. If this blow hits, Eliphis will be cut in half like a pig in a slaughterhouse.
But he reacted in time, or as if he had predicted the black swordsman's attack, he changed direction and defended in time.
The broad giant sword and the delicate rapier were evenly matched at this moment. Time seemed to have stopped. A large number of sparks from the collision slowly fell in front of both sides' eyes. Eliphis's face was grim, and his cold eyes clashed with the red light flowing from the gap of the opponent's helmet.
"Bang! Bang—"
The mercenary's questioning voice had not yet faded away when the two sides collided countless times in an instant. The intensity and speed of the battle left the onlookers dumbfounded.
The Black Swordsman fought wildly, and his brute force combined with his greatsword made his weapon a terrifying existence that would injure or kill the enemy if it touched it.
Eliphis remained calm and collected. He roamed around the battlefield and launched surprise attacks. He completely ignored his opponent's strategy of exchanging injuries for injuries, and each time he was able to use his exquisite skills to block the giant sword's attacks.
Another round of fighting began. Eliphis's magic weapon stabbed at the black swordsman's head. The opponent's beast-shaped helmet suddenly split open and bit the rapier with its bloody mouth. He swung the giant sword while Eliphis was unable to dodge!
"Captain, be careful!"
"boom!"
The giant sword hit nothing, and at the critical moment, Eliphis dropped his weapon and retreated, and the weapon left behind exploded violently!
A light mist mixed with high temperature, electric current and flashing light burst out together, completely blocking the black swordsman's vision. When he blasted the mist away with a roar, he saw that Eliphis had condensed a new rapier in the distance and struck a posture he had never seen before towards him.
"Shoot him."
Following Eliphis's whisper, the blade of the rapier made of magic power suddenly shot out at high speed, piercing through the black swordsman's chest like a flash of light!
But the next second, the warning of death sounded in his mind without warning. When he looked up, he saw a huge sword coming towards him!
When was it thrown?
Eliphis dodged hastily, but was still a step too late. The heavy hilt of the sword hit his shoulder, and a crisp sound of bone breaking echoed.
“Tsk!”
The black swordsman strode towards Eliphis, grabbed the hilt tightly before the giant sword hit the rock wall, turned around and used a spinning slash to interrupt Eliphis who was about to use healing magic.
The light and shadow were confused, and Eliphis had no choice but to use magic to create several clones to disrupt the enemy's vision, and took the opportunity to retreat and heal his injuries.
In the first round of confrontation, both sides were evenly matched and each caused damage.
The black swordsman touched the penetrating wound on his chest, as if he was savoring the memory.
On the other side, the mercenaries hurried to heal Eliphis and said, "Captain, let us fight together."
"No, don't meddle in other people's business." Minor injuries like bone fractures can be healed instantly with the treatment of powerful magic. As he moved his shoulder, which had recovered as before, Eliphis showed a familiar smile.
After the brief fight just now, he had already figured out the black swordsman's fighting style and physical fitness, and he knew he was not unable to compete with him.
No, I should say I can win.
Eliphis' self-confidence was awakened. The Black Swordsman was undoubtedly difficult to deal with. In the outside world, he would be a powerful general who surpassed the captain, but he had a great chance of defeating such a character alone.
This will restore his confidence after he was hit by Overlord and Xialong.
Concentrating his new weapon, he made a sword flower, his long silver hair fluttering in the cold wind. The phantom of a white eagle appeared behind him, and he pointed at the black swordsman like a righteous knight.
"Come on, let's start round two."
In the city lord's room, Gong Qiying watched the real-time broadcast of the crystal ball, nodded to Eliphis's strength, and then summoned the city lord's panel.
[Changed the Black Swordsman's strength from C+ to C++]
The next second, the aura of the black swordsman in the cemetery seemed to have changed. His figure, which had been standing upright like a human, suddenly bent down. He carried the giant sword, and his overall image gave people the feeling that he was a mixture of man and beast?
Eliphis had already noticed this change, but it was too late for him to react because he had already rushed in front of the black swordsman and launched a fierce attack on the wound he had previously inflicted.
Just then, his eyes met with the black swordsman.
The red light in the other person's eyes was so intense that it seemed to be burning. He stared at Eliphis intently. At this time, an unclear voice came from under the helmet.
"Griffith!"
Are you calling me? No, although it's similar, it's someone else's name.
The rapier successfully pierced through the black swordsman's chest, and several elements exploded at the same time, causing the Berserker's armor to change color several times.
Eliphis showed a look of joy and was about to kill it in one breath, but the next moment, two huge arms tightly restrained his body.
The black swordsman opened his arms and hugged him tightly!
“Ka-ka—”
There was a crisp sound of bones breaking. Eliphis struggled hard, but his bones would be broken!
No, there’s no way to break free. How come his strength suddenly increased so much?
The black swordsman's helmet suddenly cracked, and his sharp teeth bit towards Eliphis' head!
“Bang!”
Have you ever seen a crushed watermelon? That's the scene now.
The mercenaries were so shocked that they didn't even repeat the words "Captain!"
Mami Tomoe. No, it was Eliphis's body that slowly disappeared in the black swordsman's arms, and the latter immediately turned his attention to the mercenaries.
Everyone took a step back in unison. It was no wonder that the black swordsman, covered in blood, was too intimidating.
"I, let's go! Kill him!"
Although someone shouted in a very powerful voice, no one moved. The only remaining lancer captain glared at these guys with disappointment and was about to summon his spirit horse to fight with the black swordsman.
But in an instant, a flash of light passed by, it was Eliphis!
They encountered the Black Swordsman shortly after they left the campfire, so after he was resurrected, he rushed over again at high speed!
The anger in his eyes seemed to be able to spit fire, and at a mere glance, a large number of magic missiles poured onto the black swordsman!
"Kill you."
Beneath Eliphis' twisted expression was an angry heart. When he saw the black swordsman swinging his giant sword to block all the magic missiles, the corners of his eyes twitched.
With the lesson learned from the last time, he was extra cautious this time. He walked around the black swordsman and had to attack and retreat quickly if a head-on confrontation was necessary.
How come his power suddenly increased?
It was the same move that Eliphis had been able to resist before, and he could block it now, but his arm was hurt by the huge force!
Not only that, the black swordsman's moves also changed. They became more wild and powerful. He completely ignored the wounds on his body and showed an attitude of dragging the enemy down with him even if he died.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Eliphis was gradually losing the upper hand.
The mercenaries looked at each other in bewilderment. They couldn't take part in such a battle, and just watching from the side was already doing their best.
Under the fierce attack of the black swordsman, Eliphis gradually showed signs of fatigue. He clenched his teeth, feeling unwilling.
Negative emotions appeared, and his moves accidentally revealed a flaw. The black swordsman took this opportunity to jump high and once again used the move that had previously killed the archer captain.
But this time the action was slightly different.
Eliphis quickly adjusted his stance and used various speed magic and combat skills just to avoid this fatal blow.
God seemed to favor him at this moment. The giant sword hit the ground hard, and the ground collapsed instantly. However, he narrowly avoided it.
I dodged!
The look of surprise was beyond words. He remembered that this move had a big afterswing, so as long as he took advantage of this opportunity -
The black swordsman jumped up again without any pause!
What!
Eliphis had no time to think and dodged to the side instinctively, but it was too late. A wound deep enough to see the bone appeared on his left shoulder in the blink of an eye.
Before he could catch his breath, the black swordsman did not land on the ground, but spun in the air and smashed the giant sword down again!
What on earth is going on!?
For a moment, Eliphis thought of Overlord Wolnir who was repeating the Wrath of God continuously, and his eyelids twitched wildly.
Because the fighting skill that the black swordsman is now using is called [Brave Lion Slash]!
The Lion Slash that can be repeated continuously!
Eliphis couldn't dodge the last blow.
After a teeth-grinding sound of flesh being torn apart, half of his body was cut off!
An ordinary person would die on the spot after suffering such a degree of injury, but he would not, because -
The bracelet weapon burst into light, instantly strengthening his healing magic, and regenerating the lost half of Liphis's body at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He even took out his weapons, and was now fighting the black swordsman with the same standards as he would against Overlord Wolnir!
The consumption of bracelet weapons is not determined by the number of times they are used, but by the strength of the amplification, so the Orb of Life can only be amplified twice. If it is amplifying other lower-level skills, it can be used many times.
Eliphis condensed wings behind his back, condensed a shield in his left hand and raised a rapier in his right hand. He released a high-level physical fitness enhancement magic on himself and strengthened it with weapons. His body was strengthened in an instant and he couldn't help but cough up blood.
Even if he gets hurt, he is determined to kill the black swordsman here!
With the enhancement of the weapon, Eliphis' attack strength increased dramatically, and he briefly brought himself to a level almost the same as the black swordsman!
"This guy has a lot of cards up his sleeve."
Gong Qiying commented that it seems that the other party's reputation is not just boasted, but he has real talent.
However, it seems that the best he can do is to barely reach the level of C++. I wonder if he has any trump card that can be used to make a breakthrough?
Regardless of whether he still has any trump cards, Gong Qiying has seen enough and the battle data has been collected. It is time to end it all.
[Changed the Black Swordsman's strength from C++ to B-]
"I'm going to win!"
Eliphis was launching a series of attacks, and the next moment, a black light flashed.
His wings were cut off in an instant, and the black swordsman appeared behind him, crouching down, this time completely transforming into the posture of a wild beast.
"How could this be?" A drop of cold sweat ran down Eliphis' cheek. In the previous moment, the black swordsman's strength surged again, so fast that he was completely unable to react.
What's going on with this guy! Is he getting stronger the more he fights?
His arms trembled, and as he realized the fear in his heart, blood oozed from the corner of his mouth. He turned around and stabbed the black swordsman.
"Griffith!"
The black swordsman looked like a wild beast at this moment, slashing down with the giant sword as if he had gone mad.
From his left shoulder to his hip, Eliphis's body flipped over under the influence of the huge force, and finally fell heavily to the ground.
“Captain!!!”
I was split in half again?
Eliphis fell to the ground, blood gushing out of him like water. It was clear that he was dying, and even his magic weapon was dissipating.
He looked at the manic black swordsman who was howling towards the sky, and felt extremely unwilling. Why could even an invading dark spirit defeat him?
What kind of monsters and demons gather in this Thane dungeon?
He was very unwilling to accept the defeat and wanted to win just once. He watched the black swordsman turn his spear towards the mercenaries, rushing forward and unleashing a bloody storm, with no time to care about him who was dying.
Just then, he saw the noble sword on the ground, which was thrown to him by the black swordsman out of pity.
Eliphis' pupils shrank, and he suddenly became excited. He reached out and grabbed the noble's rapier.
The black swordsman was slaughtering the mercenaries and had no time to pay attention to him, so—
The bracelet weapon finally unleashed its power, allowing his body to heal instantly. At this moment, he squeezed his potential and launched the fastest attack, piercing the black swordsman's head!
Hit, must hit!
He prayed in his heart.
However, the black swordsman turned his head in an instant and swung down the giant sword in his hand!
"Bang--"
Just like when the battle started, the weapons of the two men collided again, and both bodies stopped at this moment.
It wasn't that Eliphis successfully blocked the black swordsman's attack, but that the other party withdrew at the last moment.
The blood-stained blade of the giant sword was hovering steadily above Eliphis' shoulder. If it had been chopped down with force just now, Eliphis would have been broken into two pieces.
Eliphis stood there in a daze, not because of the failed sneak attack, but because
His powerful sword was broken by the giant sword at the moment of the confrontation!
“Dang!”
The blade of the rapier fell in the air, and the crisp sound stimulated Eliphis.
He abandoned his dignity, picked up the weapon given by the enemy, and shamefully launched a sneak attack, but the weapon was destroyed in the moment of the confrontation.
What was most insulting to him was that the black swordsman held back and gave him a chance to live. The huge sword hanging beside him seemed to be mocking him.
This behavior is ten thousand times more humiliating than being teased by Xialong.
He had no idea what to do next; no one could remain calm after receiving the ultimate insult.
At this moment, the black swordsman's dull voice came from under the helmet.
"An imposter, he is not the Dark Eagle after all."
Eliphis' body trembled. He didn't know what this sentence meant, but he could clearly hear the disappointment in the black swordsman's tone.
"Bang"
His body softened and he finally lost all his strength and sat on the ground. The mercenaries stopped attacking and stared at the scene in a daze.
【The intruder has left! 】
The dark spirit body of the black swordsman gradually returned to nothingness. People all breathed a sigh of relief as such a god of death finally left.
But a new problem arose: Eliphis' mental state was worrying.
The black swordsman left a spot of light where he stood, but Eliphis did nothing about it, just staring at the sky in a daze.
The captains looked at each other, then hurried over to help Eliphis up and expressed their concern, but the latter lowered his eyes and did not react at all.
Among the crowd, the captain of the assault team and Sally also came back. They were knocked to the ground by Xialong and could not move. Not long ago, they were stabbed by a passing skeleton warrior and resurrected back to the campfire.
Looking at Eliphis being helped away, Sally sighed.
“It always feels like it’s not surprising that something like this happened.”
After all, this is the Senn dungeon, so it's not surprising that something incredible would appear here.
He picked up the light spots that no one else paid attention to and stuffed them into his waist bag, but he was afraid that they would be stolen by monsters like the Xialong, so he held them tightly in his hands.
There was a fragment in the spot of light.
[Painting fragment "Berserk" Part 1]
The Light Eagles' operation ended in failure, and this tragic defeat has become... well, it hasn't actually become a topic of conversation.
Although Aston wanted to publicize it before Eliphis and his men set out, he was stopped by the clever Sally. In fact, not many people knew about this action, and most people in the Light Eagle Regiment knew nothing about it. They only knew that the captains were away all day.
Fortunately, Sally exists, otherwise the prestige of the Light Eagle Group would be reduced again.
But truth cannot be hidden, and those who know something will eventually let it slip.
So secretly, some rumors against the Light Eagle Group and Eliphis appeared. It is estimated that as time goes by, they will spread throughout the streets and alleys.
But Eliphis didn't care about any of this.
Since he came back, he has been staying in the basement and has not come into contact with other people, nor has he continued to fight against Overlord Wolnir.
Sally was worried about his mental state, but besides Eliphis, he was more worried about others.
"I don't know where Elsa has gone now."
Sally sighed. If he had known earlier, he would have gone with Elsa. Then he wouldn't have to witness such an embarrassing situation.
The Elsa he was worried about had already arrived in Bed City.
The familiar city, the familiar streets and alleys, this time without the dragon hunting armor and storm dragon, the scenery looks so beautiful.
Elsa walked around Bed City in confusion with her backpack on her back. She didn't find Tammy and the Skyrim Raiders team, and she used the tomb bonfire to teleport to the Firelink Shrine in a daze, and then returned to Bed City.
She heard from others that the Skyrim strategy group often held team building near the tavern in Bed City, so she wanted to try her luck here.
But before the person was found, a strange guy came over.
"Hey, little sister, are you alone?" A tall elf with pointy ears and green hair came over with a business smile. "I can see that you are a newcomer. Did you come here because you heard of Sean's name?"
She had indeed come here because she had heard that Sean could repair weapons, so she nodded.
"Then you are lucky to meet Melgar, who loves to take care of newcomers the most."
The one who appeared in front of Elsa was Stellan's sister, the elf Melgar!
Elsa tilted her head in confusion. Why did she say "blessed"?
"Hehe." Melgar suddenly laughed, put his arm around Elsa's shoulders and said:
"You probably don't know, but the Sean Dungeon has gone through many changes and is very different from before. There are all kinds of strategy guides flying around. You should have seen them, right?"
Elsa nodded obediently.
"Oh, what a pity! If you read the guide, you won't be able to experience the most complete Thane dungeon." Melgar sighed pretentiously, then smiled and said:
"So, I'm launching a new project called [Take Newcomers to Experience the Authentic Sen Dungeon]. You only need to pay a certain amount of money, and I can take you to experience the various traps that the adventurers encountered when the Sen Dungeon was first changed. I guarantee that you will have a unique experience! And I'll also give you the teleportation crystal."
"ah?"
Elsa was stunned for a moment, and suddenly asked: "Can you take me to find a blacksmith?"
Melgar blinked and said, "Are you talking about that old man or the cat Elu?"
"Uh, it should be the old man."
"No problem. As long as you pay, I'll take you wherever you want to go. I'm just as familiar with Sean as the Raiders!"
So, after a series of deceptions from Melgar, Elsa paid the money generously.
"I finally have money for today's drink. It's all my fault that my aunt deducted my salary and Stellan didn't help me at all."
Melgar muttered something, turned around and found Elsa staring at her, so she smiled and said:
"Let's go. The first stop of the original adventure in the Thane Dungeon - taking a bath with the Curse Frog!"
