No knight's squire dared to take on an offensive seal head-on.
At least……
Carl hasn't encountered any so far.
"Um!"
Iron Fist Abe on the opposite side groaned, and leaped nearly three meters on the spot, avoiding the incoming flames from the air.
What greeted him was the second flame.
Fire seal!
"ah!"
Iron Fist Abe roared to the sky, clenched his fingers, and smashed straight towards the incoming flames.
"Bang!"
The flames escaped.
There was also a burnt smell.
"Iron Fist?"
Carl's gaze paused on the opponent's fist, then he gently pushed his left arm again to activate the fire seal.
With his current strength, he can activate six fire seals in one breath.
Although the opponent's fists were incredibly strong, and could even shatter flames, his arms lacked protection and would certainly not be able to hold on.
“Swish!”
The figure in front flashed, and Iron Fist Abe's speed suddenly increased, avoiding the flames and rushing forward.
Fighting Skills - Roaring! This is a special fighting skill.
He let out a wild beast-like roar to motivate himself, stirring up his life force and thereby increasing his speed and attack power in a short period of time.
Something unexpected happened, and Carl couldn't help but shrink his eyes, and at the same time, he gently snapped his fingers with his raised left hand.
“Bang!”
A bright light suddenly appeared.
Light! Meanwhile.
An invisible force field enveloped the surroundings.
Zero Ring Witchcraft - Secondary Magic Field! "Puff!"
Iron Fist Abe's fist penetrated the force field, and the air rippled like the surface of water. The slight slowdown in speed also made Carl's heart sink.
What's going on?
Why has the force field suppression become so weak?
The power of witchcraft is closely related to the strength of mental strength. With Carl's current mental strength approaching that of a mid-level wizard apprentice, the secondary spell force field is enough to suppress the strength of the knight's squire by 30% to 40%.
That is to say, make a knight's squire slightly stronger than an ordinary person.
But now…
Although Iron Fist Abe's speed and strength were affected to a certain extent, it was far from that great.
but,
After all, it was affected.
"when……"
The broadsword was across his body.
The fist and the sword collided, and both men retreated.
The soil under Carl's feet exploded, and he rushed forward with the force, and the broadsword in his hand instantly rolled up four afterimages.
Combat skill——Fierce Wind Slash!
While the other party's vision has not yet recovered, go all out.
"bite……"
“Ding ding dong dong…”
The sound of the collision was as fast as a rainstorm. Iron Fist Abe, who was blind, roared loudly and punched left and right with his fists, but he could not stop his continuous retreat.
"puff!"
A sword shadow passed across his calf, and he screamed and fell to one knee.
"die!"
Carl's eyes narrowed and he slashed with his sword.
Angry attack!
"when……"
A fist blocked the sword blade, and the huge impact force caused Carl to lean back and stagger backwards.
What a strong force! The power that this guy suddenly burst out was probably more than one. If there was no force field to suppress it, Carl would definitely not be his opponent.
Moreover, Iron Fist Abe's boxing skills are extremely amazing. Even though he is blind, he can withstand the slashing of the broadsword and even combat skills with his solid boxing skills.
“Swish!”
At this moment, a figure flashed by quickly, wielding a dagger and stabbing at Iron Fist Abe from behind.
It's Aya.
The dagger in her hand was extremely sharp and could easily cut through armor, and it was even more difficult for a flesh and blood body to resist.
"ah!"
Xiaonan also rushed over with a roar, holding a heavy wooden shield in his hand, and he huddled behind and accelerated as fast as he could.
"call……"
Carl took a deep breath, calmed the restless breath in his body, and joined in, wielding his broadsword.
"puff!"
"Bang!"
The huge force directly shattered the wooden shield in Xiaonan's hand, and he was knocked away.
Carl's figure collided with Iron Fist Abe in the air, and the friction between the sword shadow and the fist edge caused sparks to fly all over the sky.
The three of them joined forces, but for a while they still couldn't maintain the upper hand.
However, the battle in other places is drawing to a close, and more and more people are joining the siege.
"Aya!"
"head!"
“…”
“Kill!”
After a moment.
"puff!"
As Carl swung his broadsword, Iron Fist Abe, covered in blood, staggered and finally fell to the ground.
The heavy body stirred up dust.
"call……"
Karl exhaled a long breath and urged: "Pack your things and leave!"
This place is not far from the Laka Market, and it is very likely to alarm the city guards. It will be troublesome if they hear the noise and come over.
"yes."
Aya was injured in the shoulder. She grinned and nodded, asking everyone to clean up the battlefield and leave quickly.
No one noticed that a few rats in the corner of the manor quickly crawled over the corpse and disappeared into the cave.
* * * “Uncle.”
Aya rushed over with an excited look on her face. When she saw Karl’s expression, she was stunned and asked in surprise: “What’s wrong with you?”
"Nothing." Carl shook his head. "I just didn't expect that Iron Fist Abe is so strong. I am a little ignorant."
He thought that since he had mastered witchcraft, magic seals, and breathing techniques, he would have few rivals at the knight's squire stage.
He never thought that the leader of a small force in Black City almost made him powerless, and he couldn't help feeling a little bitter.
"Sitting in a well and looking at the sky?"
Aya blinked her eyes. Although she had never heard of these words before, she understood their meaning and couldn't help but smile:
"Iron Fist Abe is a master among the knights' squires, otherwise he wouldn't have been recruited by the Brotherhood. Moreover, he was able to compete with the uncle in a short period of time because he used his combat skills to stimulate his potential."
"Uncle is still more powerful."
Carl shook his head slightly.
He just took advantage of the fact that there were more means available.
Iron Fist Abe's martial arts are extremely sophisticated, his moves are not complicated, but they are very powerful when performed.
His combat skills are very proficient.
This should be the norm in Black City.
Like that red hair...
He can also rely on solid basic skills to withstand Carl's fighting skills, which even Dina may not be able to do. The tempering of martial arts in life-and-death battles is unmatched by the outside world.
"Perhaps it is because of the environment of Black City that the warriors here are so powerful."
"Among the knights of Black City, Iron Fist Abe may be a master, but he is definitely not the strongest one. There are many who are stronger than him."
After calming down, Carl smiled again.
I am a little too sensitive and get dejected when I suffer a little setback. In fact, it is better to recognize this earlier so as not to be blindly arrogant. Even if I meet a real master in the future, I will not be caught off guard.
not to mention……
Iron Fist Abe has been famous for many years, but he is still a knight's squire, which means it is difficult for him to become stronger, but he still has great potential.
"That's right."
Thinking of something, Carl asked, "Then Iron Fist Abe should also have a seal on him, right?"
"Yes." Aya nodded, "It seems to be called 'Steel Body', which can increase the body's defense, but the seal was destroyed when he died."
Carl understood.
If a person is seriously injured, or the flesh and blood where the seal is located rots, the seal will be damaged.
There are even secret methods that can directly destroy the seals on the body to prevent them from falling into the hands of the enemy.
Steel body?
"The magic field has little effect on Iron Fist Abe. It's probably because of the magic seal."
'The seal can resist spells!'
"That's right."
Aya remembered the important matter and clapped her hands:
"We found a box in Iron Fist Abe's base, which contained eighteen portions of exotic beast meat."
"There are also hundreds of black stones and some collections..."
Carl could no longer hear anything else, his attention was completely focused on the eighteen portions of exotic beast meat.
"real?"
"It's true."
Aya nodded.
