Crash~Swish!

! !

Sure enough, when Livia came to the man in front of him and stabbed him with the steel sword, he swung his left arm, and a thorn chain exactly the same as the one in his right hand fell out of his left sleeve. He took a step back and swung it at him.

Livia, who had anticipated this, quickly turned her body and dodged the whip. This weapon was easier to dodge at close range, unlike at long range, since the swinging amplitude was quite large.

The chains hit the ground, making a crisp sound of chains colliding.

But Livia did not take advantage of this opportunity to attack again, as the opponent had already retracted the spiked chain in his right hand and held it in his palm.

But his goal had been achieved. He closed the distance to limit his attack, and then held him back while waiting for Natalia to deal with the remaining bandits.

In this short period of time, Natalia had already stabbed a robber to death. Otherwise, if the remaining robbers had started to avoid her and not confront her head-on, the battle would probably be over.

Although her calf was injured and she moved with a limp, she was an extraordinary knight after all, and her physical fitness was far superior to that of ordinary people. It was easy for her to deal with these robbers.

Livia retracted her gaze and quickly raised the steel sword to block in front of her.

clang!

Two thorn chains fell on Livia's sword with afterimages, quickly wrapped around it twice, and tied up the steel sword.

Livia was somewhat helpless. The weaknesses he had found before were no longer able to be addressed. After all, it was okay to deal with one spiked chain, but he couldn't use his sword to instantly knock away two rapidly attacking spiked chains. A huge pulling force came from the other end of the chain.

Edmund crossed his hands and pulled the chain back, trying to remove the steel sword from his hand.

Livia gripped the hilt tightly and turned it, with one side of the sword across his body. The steel sword made bursts of sword sounds. Even though the steel sword was made of resonant magnet, it was still a precious material even if it did not reach the quality of a magic weapon. In addition to the resonance property, it also had an unspecified property, which was the property of a magnet.

After Livia's power was infused into the subtle control, waves of repulsive force emanated from the sword, just like magnets of the same charge repelling each other.

The two chains that bound the sword body kept shaking under this strong repulsive force, and seemed to be about to fall off.

Seeing this, Edmund sneered as he felt the chains on his hands shaking from time to time. He had just been freed by Natalia's outburst due to carelessness, so how could he be the same this time?

He swung his arms violently, causing the chain to swing violently. A blood-red light flashed along the chain like an arc of lightning.

boom!

Livia also reacted quickly, and used a strong attack to slash in the direction where the blood-red arc of light was flying. The silver-white and blood-red forces collided with each other, causing a violent collision and bursts of thunderous sounds.

Although the blood-red arc of light was blocked, the huge force transmitted by the chain was not something Livia could withstand in her current state. The palm wearing the hunter's gloves was fine, but the skin on the palm of her left hand was torn directly, and the blade of the steel sword broke into two small pieces again, and the steel sword flew out of her hand.

With a low cry of pain, Livia looked at the broken skin and blurred flesh on her left palm, frowned tightly and gritted her teeth.

He quickly drew out the silver sword with his right hand, looked up at the double chains that were attacking him again, and quickly retreated.

Bang!

The chain hit the ground again, making a continuous collision sound.

“It’s too much to handle.”

Livia frowned as she looked at the figure that was raised into smoke by the chains and thought secretly that it was not only because of the opponent's peculiar chain weapon, but also because of the opponent's strength.

Not only in terms of strength, he was actually at a disadvantage in the previous collision of forces. Although he relied on the special power characteristics to resist the magic-defending power gathered by the strong attack, he could not resist for long.

From these two points, it can be clearly seen that the opponent is much stronger than him. Even if he is at his peak, he is no match for him. He...

It should be very close to the advanced level.

Unlike Natalia who was so-called close to the extraordinary, she could only barely reach the advanced bottleneck, but the enemy in front of her was equivalent to having most of his body sticking to the extraordinary bottleneck.

But what puzzled Livia was that the opponent seemed to have not been using his full strength, otherwise he would not have been so relaxed as he was now. Although the gap between low-level transcendents would not be very large, counterattack was possible at any time. For example, the warlock who controlled tree vines that Livia met before. Although Livia had always been in an advantageous position, he almost capsized in the ditch and was counterattacked by the opponent's desperate fight.

While thinking about these things, Livia dodged the spiked chain that kept whipping her, and glanced at Natalia. After dragging on for so long, there was finally only one bandit left on Natalia's side, whose left arm was cut off. It seemed that he should be solved soon.

boom!

Another spiked chain hit him in front of him, raising clouds of dust.

call out!

Just as Livia was about to retreat as before, a strange sound came from the smoke, and a sharp steel ring cut through the smoke and rushed out, attacking his vitals.

Looking at the sharp blade coming at him rapidly, Livia's pupils shrank. Although he had expected this, after all, there was only a spiked chain hitting him just now, he still felt a chill on his back when he was hit by the sharp blade stained with some black and red solidified blood.

Ping!

The sword glowed with a dark golden luster, blocking the unexpected and strange attack.

The smoke suddenly dispersed quickly to both sides as if blown by a strong wind. Livia looked at Edmund who suddenly came out of the smoke and appeared in front of her, and her pupils shrank to the smallest size possible.

Igni Sign!

Looking at Edmund who was suddenly so close, Livia subconsciously stretched out her left hand which had been empty due to injury, and flames gushed out.

Phew!

Blood splattered under the light of the flames. Although Livia's reaction speed was very fast under Edmund's sudden attack, he was still a step late. When the flames burned the opponent, his abdomen was cut by a short blade with a blood groove.

"Hiss..." Livia quickly retreated and kept some distance.

He gritted his teeth and gasped in pain. His abdomen was cut again. He subconsciously wanted to cover the wound with his empty left hand, but fortunately he forced himself to hold it in.

After all, the skin on the palm of his left palm was completely torn, and it would be extremely painful if he covered it.

“Damn it!”

Livia cursed inwardly as she watched the figure standing opposite her slash off his burning sleeves.

He had not witnessed Edmund's previous assassination scene, and had only seen the pair of spiked chains. Naturally, he had not expected that the other party actually had a sharp short blade.

When he thought his opponent had fully used both chains, he suddenly burst out and attacked him with a short blade.

"I was careless..." Livia had to admit that he had been confused by the opponent's slow and steady offensive, so he was careless for a moment and was attacked. Otherwise, at the very least, he could have counterattacked and caused some damage, instead of getting stabbed in the abdomen in vain. The opponent just lost a sleeve.

Fortunately, Natalia had already dealt with the last bandit and was limping towards the battlefield which was a little far away from them.
