Chapter 339: The Decisive Battle (2)
Hearing Rod's order, Lijie nodded slightly, and then she raised her eyes to look at Lawson standing in the ring, and asked without squinting.
"Mr. Rod, just do what you say, right?"
"That's right, I'll leave it to you."
"I see."
After a brief conversation, Lijie didn't say anything more, she clenched her hands, and then stepped into the ring step by step.
And at the moment when the girl stepped into the ring, the whole arena suddenly became strangely quieter, and for a while everyone seemed to become mute, until a few minutes later, the low commotion spread among the surrounding people.
"Wait......... This young lady ......... If my eyes don't flower, she's wearing a spirit master's clothes, right? ”
"Uh......... That's right, it's a spirit master......... It is indeed a spiritual master. ”
"Spirit Master......... Can a spirit master also be able to fight? ”
"Don't ask me about this, I'm pretty good at those soul knights and holy bishops, but I haven't really seen ordinary spirit masters............"
Looking at the girl in front of them, everyone turned their heads one after another, their eyes widened, and they couldn't understand what kind of excitement Li Jie had come to join in with a spirit master. Although she had been on the team before, most people didn't actually take Lijie to heart because Rhodes arranged her as an alternate. In their opinion, Rhodes let this spirit master as an alternate at most to treat his own people when they are injured, and this kind of trick is not Rod Chuang, in fact, many times, the guild's personal battles will not be useful when the alternate appears, so each guild will send a spirit master to be on standby as an alternate, but the spirit master is on the field, or the first to play——— what the hell is this?
If it had been changed before, Rhodes' decision alone would have been enough for this group of people to boo Starlight a hundred and eighty times, but after Rhodes' strength was shown in front of everyone, these people immediately became cautious. Human beings are such worldly beings. If an ordinary person comes up with an outrageous idea, he will only be seen as a freak and an idiot. But if a genius puts forward the same opinion, it will only be regarded as a stroke of genius, and it is really not something that mortals like us can imagine.........
It's the same with today's audience. Although they have doubts in their hearts, they no longer dare to look down on Starlight, the "hillbilly mercenary group", as before, even if this mercenary group is a group of real hillbillies who have never seen the world except for Rod, as long as there is the real legendary realm of Rod, then the status of those hillbillies is even higher than them. So doubts are doubts, many people are also looking forward to it at this moment, a spirit master will fight——— so what kind of combat power can she exert?
“………… It's weird. ”
Looking at Lijie who walked on the field. Victor shifted his posture and squinted at Lizzie.
"What do you think? Battle? ”
"It's really weird, but if you want me to say it, I'm afraid that kid is planning to make Lawson retreat, isn't this one on the scene now the rumored princess? Although the two sides did say that this was a life-and-death battle, if Lawson really killed this young lady by a mistake——— hey, it would be hellish if Lord Lydia didn't kill his whole family. ”
Battle snorted softly and spoke with a gloating expression. But Victor shook his head at the moment. Meaningfully staring at the ring.
"But I don't think so, Battle. It was clear that Mr. Rhodes was a man who cared for his subordinates. Generally speaking, spirit masters have little combat ability. Indeed, as you say, if it is only in terms of death, then it is indeed a question of whether Lawson dares to do it. This old stubborn was very loyal to the reformers, and he was unlikely to do anything that would make Her Royal Highness Lydia find an opportunity to attack the reformers. But with Lawson's strength, it is not difficult for this young lady to be seriously injured——— and even an injury that cannot be healed for a lifetime. The difference in strength between the two sides is too big, and according to my observations, this young lady has only just touched the level of the edge of the advancement, with this kind of strength. Trying to resist Lawson is a fantasy. So there is no need for Old Lawson to kill the other party at all, and he can also give this young lady a lesson that he will never forget, and this is a double win for Old Lawson, he not only suppressed the arrogance of the royal party, but even made His Highness estranged from Rod, no matter what. This young lady is the half-sister of His Royal Highness, and the spirit master is not a profession that must be used in battle, once something really goes wrong, I am afraid that even if Mr. Rhodes has a bright tongue, he will not be able to give His Highness a perfect explanation. ”…,
"Huh? So bad? ”
Hearing this, Battle was stunned, and then he hurriedly stood up, his face becoming much more anxious.
"What can I do now? It's over, it's a problem...... I'm not done yet, Battle, if you don't change your habit of jumping to conclusions without listening to what people say, you'll suffer in the future. ”
Looking at Battle, who was a little flustered, Victor smiled. Hearing his words, Battle pursed his lips in dissatisfaction, then looked left and right, and sat down again.
"I said that you people read a lot of books and are bored, right, give me some useless nonsense, say such a lot of nonsense and haven't got to the point, really wait for the war, hey, when you finish discussing the war, the enemy will come to the nest! Well, I'd like to hear what else you have to say. ”
"Very simply, in my opinion, Mr. Rhodes is not unaware of this situation, and I don't think he sent this princess to the field to deter the other party——— but there are no rules for life and death challenges. If you want to take advantage of the political influence of this princess, Mr. Rhodes can choose to send her on the field when facing the Heavenly Sword, or your violet, and guarantee a victory. Naturally, the old fox of Mobis didn't dare to take any risks, and you probably didn't dare to make any dangerous moves against His Royal Highness Lydia's sister. ”
"This............ Quite right. ”
Hearing this, Battle touched his chin and nodded, indeed, no matter what, he is also a king, and let his people be heavy-handed to His Royal Highness's sister, even if Battle is not as smart as Victor, he knows that this is absolutely impossible to do.
"So what?"
"So I think......... Mr. Rhodes should be sure. ”
"But, that girl is a spirit master........."
"That's right, it's the Spirit Master. But none of us have ever fought with a spirit master, and of course, in the general sense, spirit masters do not participate in frontal combat. Most of them exist as supports——— but does this mean that spirit masters must not fight? ”
Victor interrupted Battle and shook his head.
"I'm a little skeptical about this now, the Spirit Master is very unfamiliar to us as a combat profession, and we have hardly ever seen a Spirit Master use Spirit Magic to fight——— but since Mr. Rhodes dares to send a Spirit Master into battle, then I think he is very likely to be sure enough. Indeed, other professions faced Lawson. With the current strength, it is definitely dead or alive, but it is difficult to say the spirit master......... The same is true for mages in this regard. ”
Hearing this, Battle didn't say anything more, but turned his gaze back to the ring and began to carefully observe the situation below.
And at the same time, in the VIP room, Armond came to the same conclusion.
“………… But Your Highness. I beg your pardon for saying that I have lived for so many years, with the Soul Knight. The Guardian Knight and the Holy Bishop have all dealt with each other, but they have never dealt with the Spirit Master, after all, this is too ..............."
Even the well-informed old mage hesitated for a long time at the moment, and finally couldn't find a word to describe his mood at the moment.
"I see what you mean, Sensei."
Lydia sat up and peered out the window at the ring below, but her eyes didn't look at Lizzie, who was making her final preparations. Instead, he looked at Rhodes, who was standing under the ring, with his hands folded and his face expressionless. The sparkle in his eyes is like a child seeing a wonderful and interesting toy, or an artist seeing the most enchanting picture.
"I really want you more and more............ Rod. Mr. Elant. ”
Hearing this, Amund, who was standing behind Lydia, rolled his eyes helplessly. At the same time, he put a sympathetic look on Rod. …,
Be blessed, young man.
The horn sounded.
Lijie stood quietly in the ring, carefully distancing herself from Lawson, watching each other intently, while recalling Rod's request in her heart. This is the second time that the girl has stepped into the ring, but at this moment, Lijie is not nervous at all, and the gaze behind her is like a solid wall, which makes Lijie full of a sense of reassurance.
I will not fail, do what Mr. Rhodes says, and I will be able to complete the task!
Rauen stood in the middle of the two, looking at Lijie with a hint of bitterness, as the president of the mercenary association, of course he had heard rumors about this "Her Royal Highness the Princess", but now he has no part to speak, originally Lawn thought that seeing Lijie play, His Royal Highness the Grand Duke should give some instructions, but he waited for a long time, but he didn't wait for anything.
What kind of trouble is this?
At this moment, Lawne was already crying without tears, but now there was no room for him to play, so the association president could only stand aside tragically, and then waved his arm hard.
The game begins
At the same time that Lawne waved his arm, several rays of protective spiritual magic immediately appeared around Lijie, from the shield of protection to the wall of protection. Looking at her actions, Lawson snorted coldly, as Victor guessed, Lawson did not intend to kill him, he would not be stupid enough to give Archduke Lydia handle, but it is not difficult for Lawson to teach this little girl a lesson, let her know how powerful she is.
"Little girl, this is not the place for you to come to the player's house for a drink."
Luo Sen raised the shield in his hand, looked at the other party coldly and said, but in the face of his words, Lijie did not react at all, she just looked at the other party quietly, without saying a word.
Since the other party was reluctant to reply, Luo Sen naturally had no interest in depressing a little girl again, a cold smile appeared on his face, and then, the old man raised the two pure gold shields in his hand, and then he rushed forward like a galloping rhinoceros, holding the shield and striding forward.
Seeing this scene in front of them, many people couldn't help but hold their breath, Lawson's movements were not fast, but they were not slow, in every battle, the old man was like this like an indomitable storm whistling by, crushing and tearing everything that dared to stand in front of him. And those tragic challengers are hardly able to take a blow from Lawson to be directly knocked out of the ring, and even if they rely on luck to dodge the first blow of Old Lawson, it is difficult to dodge the following crushing attack.
Not to mention standing there at the moment. The one who is about to withstand the impact of this storm is a soft girl, even if she is a spirit master, is there really no problem?
And just when everyone held their breath, intending to continue watching. A scene that stunned them appeared.
Old Lawson, who had just started, only took four or five steps, but his body shook suddenly, as if he had lost his balance, and the old man's reaction was indeed fast enough, at the same time that he lost his balance, the giant shield in Lawson's right hand smashed towards the ring next to him.
"Boom!"
The heavy shield of pure gold smashed into the ring, and immediately brought a gust of gravel and a violent wind. Then the heavy shield in the old man's hand swept away, and the rubble immediately whistled and shot towards Lijie like a cannonball.
However, this is not any danger for Lijie, her protective spiritual skills have shrouded the position of the girl's front and back left and right half-body, after special training, the current Lijie has eaten through the holy book that Rhodes touched from the underground necromancer, and the spiritual skills on it have been completely mastered by Lijie. Although Lawson possessed the strength of a top-notch sword master, these attacks he unleashed in a hurry were nothing to mention to the strengthened spiritual arts. I saw these bullet-like rubbles smash into the outermost wall of shelter, and then bounce off heavily. It didn't do anything other than bring ripples on the golden barrier. …,
What happened?
Everyone stared at the ring inexplicably, wondering how Old Lawson, who had originally launched the assault, suddenly stopped. Which song is this?
"Huh?"
But at this moment, those who have a certain strength can't help frowning.
Problematic!
Lawson looked up and looked at Lijie cautiously.
The girl didn't move, not even a step, she still stood quietly, her eyes staring intently at herself, her hands hanging at her sides, as if she hadn't attacked at all. But Lawson could feel it, just now. When he charged, when he stepped his right foot, the speed that had been calculated increased a lot in an instant, and it was this moment that the old man's perfect balance was disrupted, and fortunately, Lawson made a quick decision. Otherwise, it is easy to accidentally injure yourself by breaking the balance of the already chaotic force.
But what's going on?
Very good.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Rod nodded with satisfaction.
The biggest difference between psionics and spells is that they can be dispelled, they can be dodged, but they cannot be resisted. In other words, even if a lowest-level spirit master releases spirit magic to an existence in a legendary realm, if the other party does not dodge, it will theoretically have an effect. Of course, because of the level problem, the spirit will be greatly reduced in terms of effect and duration, but there is absolutely no situation where the spirit master is immune to the opponent after releasing the spirit magic. Unlike spells, psionics act on the source of the soul's power, so all living beings are affected by psychics. Even existences like Seven Love and Lydia are the same, of course, due to the absolute difference in strength, as long as they don't dodge or dodge, any ordinary spirit master's spiritual skills can have an effect on them, of course, this effect may last less than a fraction of a second, but in any case, it does have an effect.
So when the "pig teammate" tactic was created, the spirit master leapfrog challenge PVP has become an alternative landscape, of course, this kind of leapfrog challenge has strict requirements for the technique of micro-manipulation, as mentioned earlier, if the spirit magic wants to take effect, it must be hit. However, a junior spirit master apprentice and an advanced professional, the speed of both sides is naturally not on the same level. To release the spirit magic, the spirit master needs to look at the other party and determine the position of the other party before it can be released. And once the other party dodges in advance, then the spiritual release will be ineffective, and it will naturally not play any role.
If Lawson was an agile swordsman like Rhodes, or a dexterous and fast class like a thief and ranger, then Rod wouldn't let Lizzie play. But Lawson is a shield warrior——— a shield warrior with great strength and defense, but his movement speed is actually faster than that of ordinary people.
It's almost one of the most popular challenges for spirit masters.
Because of this, after learning that Lawson would also participate in the challenge, Rhodes hid Lijiexue. It was only now that she was finally released......... How to do it, what to do, everything I can say has been said, and next, it depends on Lijie's comprehension ability.
And at this time, Lijie imposed two layers of protection wall on herself, and the defense in front of her at this moment was already considered an iron wall, unlike the previous warm-up match and those mercenary battles, this time Lijie did not choose to give up the defense to lure the other party to take the initiative to attack. Because Rod had already warned himself before, because of the particularity of this game, Lijie didn't have to worry that the other party would give up the initiative to attack. And with Luo Sen's strength, if Li Jie didn't exert all her defenses, I'm afraid she would really be able to play away——— she was not at the level where she could withstand the strength of a top swordsman without the protection of spiritual arts. ..., "Hmph, carving insect skills." ”
Seeing that Li Jie had put another layer of protection on herself, Old Luo Sen snorted coldly, but he didn't think it was so strange, the other party was a spirit master, and what a spirit master was best at was defense, didn't he? But with this level of defense, do you really think you can stop your own pace?
Naive!
Thinking of this, Old Lawson's face was cold, and then he stood up suddenly, then took half a step forward, then raised the shield in his left hand, and made a gesture of trying to hit forward——— and at this time, Lawson's body suddenly crooked, but this time the old man seemed to have been prepared, he quickly straightened his body back, and withdrew the left hand that was originally stretched forward, but even so, the old man's burly body shook slightly.
Not again.
Lawson frowned, and at the moment when he exerted his strength, the old man felt that his strength suddenly became much stronger, and instead his body was not ready to withstand this level of momentum——— just like if you tried to punch the plank, but it hit the cotton, and a sense of imbalance in the strength immediately limited the old man's pace to continue to advance.
What's going on?
Old Lawson stopped again and frowned, at first he thought it was just an accident, of course, Old Lawson didn't think about whether it would be because he was old, and his mastery of force was not as precise as before, but the problem of connecting twice still made Old Lawson a little suspicious.
It's weird after all.
Could it be that little guy who did it?
Thinking of this, Old Luo Sen couldn't help but raise his head and glance at Li Jie, who was still standing quietly within the barrier of guarding the spiritual arts, looking at himself intently.
What kind of hex is this? rq
