Chapter 213 The Scarlet Comet

A quiet and low prayer sounded.

The silver-gray astral language was connected into several rings, slowly spinning around Roland who was wrapped in the silver-white holy flame.

Gray-white light spots drilled out of the air like wildly growing weeds, fluttering in the air like cotton wool.

Cold, viscous—a texture reminiscent of bone marrow.

"Never forget to chant, never forget to pray, never forget to sleep forever."

Roland stood in front of the entrance, his expression solemn under the silver-white holy flame.

The tone of his prayer became calmer, but the killing intent in the air gradually boiled.

The holy flame on his body seemed to be irritated, beating violently.

Rather than saying that it was flames, it was better to say that it was a monster covered with tentacles.

"Appoint me, learn from me, obey me," Roland said here in one breath, took a breath suddenly, his voice suddenly amplified, passionate, "rest in my hands—"

The invisible fluctuations centered on Roland and spread rapidly to the surroundings.

The viscous off-white light spots suddenly burned, and the reassuring smell of spices floated in the air until it filled the entire space.The silver-white blazing light radiated to the surroundings, making the underground passage without a light source pale.

After the gray-white light spots burned out, what appeared in the air were large black feathers.

It was like a delicate feather carved out of black crystal.

Like a strong wind blowing.Hundreds of feathers were flying randomly in the air, but they were always entangled around Roland.

At this moment, Roland felt a faint tremor under his feet.

The earth is roaring.

The earth is roaring—

——However, Roland could not retreat.

Instead, he took a step forward and snapped, "Rest in my hands!"

Under the frantic murderous intent, the dagger at Roland's waist made a clanging sound, and he was ejected from the scabbard by more than an inch.

Roland did not hesitate.

He held up the staff and sword completely wrapped in the holy flame, and took another step forward.

The surrounding air is distorted in high temperature.The black feathers fluttered more passionately in the invisible storm.

Just when Roland's aura reached its peak, a bright red figure broke through the cracked wall in an instant, and struck with the momentum of thunder!
Without any hesitation, Roland activated [Combined Force Strike] before making contact with the enemy.

A pale white spot of light quickly sank from Roland's elbow into Roland's right wrist holding the sword.

Suddenly, a large vein of blue veins burst out on Roland's slender, well-proportioned right arm.

However, Roland did not turn on [Continuous Attack] as before.

[Continuous Attack] This attack stance allows Roland to inflict multiple consecutive damages to the enemy with the shortest attack time in normal times.At the same time, Roland's attack action can be reset at the moment it is turned on, which is similar to the defensive stance unique to the weapon master [Reset Stance] in terms of effect.

If Roland is playing the book now, with T absorbing the damage, he can of course turn on [Continuous Attack] to let it enter the cooldown, and launch his own round of burst before the cooldown is about to end, so as to reduce the damage of the opening burst The output mentions the max.

But not now.

Roland is not a weapon master now, but an ordinary warrior.Therefore, he does not have the characteristic of "combo proficiency" - that is to say, Roland's attack stance needs at least eight "strikes" to recover from the cooldown.

Moreover, among the two series of attack stances that can reset the attack action of the warrior's "continuous attack" and "flurry", Roland only has one of the most basic "continuous attack" in the "continuous attack" series.

——In other words, Roland only has one chance to reset his actions for every eight effective attacks or parries.

Although Roland can mow grass at will in Singhia Tavern, those dregs don't even have official ranks, and Roland can refresh his various postures with a single blow.The charge is completely continuous, and the quick attack is a permanent state. Roland has no chance to use the concentrated attack.

——But, cutting the grass is one thing, but challenging Elucardo is another thing entirely.

When facing Elcardo, Roland had the confidence to use "block" to block Elcardo's attack only at the moment when the attack action was reset.

With his own perception close to [-] points, Roland has the confidence to detect every movement of Elcardo.But Roland's agility did not allow Roland to make a correct response in the rapid continuous attack and defense.

Roland's agility attribute is 9.8.It's just a little bit short of a qualitative change.

But this is exactly what Roland lacks.

Therefore, there is only one road in front of Roland now——

——【Defensive Counterattack】

A light blue halo rose from Roland's right elbow and sank between Roland's eyebrows.

Immediately, Roland's silver-gray pupils were stained with a faint trace of blue.

This is a defensive posture that allows Roland to better intercept high-speed objects.

In his field of vision, everything slowed down.Including your own dodging actions.

And the opening of these two attacking postures, Roland completed them in an instant.

The moment the wall was broken, Roland had already moved, swinging the staff and sword in his hand and sliding rapidly to his right.

The moment he left the position where he was standing before, amidst the huge roar, a blood-red comet rolled over from above.Two deep ravines appeared on the ground.

A bursting hurricane rolled up from Roland.A streak of scarlet fluttered in the wind, and was torn apart by the hurricane in the blink of an eye.

It wasn't Roland's blood, but Elcardo's.

That was the blow Roland instinctively made at the moment of dodging.Roland himself didn't know what part of Elcardo was cut.

The attack worked, but Roland didn't relax at all.

He turned around immediately, the ground under his feet was rubbed violently, and the soil turned up.

Roland's right hand was instantly retracted under the light white halo, and he returned to the most suitable posture for exerting force.

But Roland didn't choose to erect the stick and sword for defense.

As if holding a knight's spear, he laid it flat, lowered his center of gravity, and activated the "block".

A light blue halo instantly enveloped the staff and sword.It's just that the stick and sword made of ordinary iron become indestructible under the addition of mysterious power.

Half a second later, the scarlet comet turned a corner and slammed into it again.

Almost fearless of death, she rushed towards Roland's sword tip.

With a stabbing sound, the sharp stick sword easily pierced Elcardo's abdomen.However, Elcardo did not stop charging, but continued to rush towards Roland with the flame burning in his abdomen and the sharp blade piercing him.

finally--

It looks exactly the same as Anvilia, except that the young girl with black hair and red eyes grinned and rushed to Roland's side.
Her skin was completely opened under her own high speed, dripping with blood.

Under the effect of excellent immortality, her skin was completely repaired when it was destroyed.She held up her blood-stained fist and slammed at Roland like a demon god.

The air was squeezed under her tremendous force, making an overwhelmed creaking sound.

Before her fist came, a hurricane strong enough to tear apart tender flesh had already struck.

This is definitely not damage that a staff sword can block.

Roland has no doubt that as long as he is hit by this punch, the position above his abdomen will explode directly, and his entire upper body will turn into fine flesh and fly away.

He had no doubt that if he had raised the staff and sword before, with his own strength, Elucardo would have smashed the staff and sword into his head.

Roland was very clear.Elcardo's attack was an instant death damage that he couldn't bear with a single blow.

However, it's too late.

Roland let go of the sword without hesitation, and then the storm that swept away retreated.

When he passed Elcardo just now, Roland completed an effective attack.Under the effect of the battle chant, one of the remaining two lines of Roland's baptism chant was omitted.

So Roland shouted loudly, and the baptism chant was completed immediately——

"—May the Lord have mercy on this sad soul!"
