The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

Yugang Town Administrative Office.

In a lounge.

Renn was wiping the 'paralysis poison' provided by Trevor on the sharp blade embedded in his knight's gauntlet. On the bed next to him, there was an indistinguishable person, who was only made of special material wood. Dolls made.

The doll is about slightly larger than a palm. The head, body and limbs are connected together with approximately cylindrical wooden heads. The face is depicted with only a few strokes, which serves as a symbol of the mouth, nose, ears and eyes. It looks like Very shoddy.

But when Veronica handed Ren the 'stand-in doll', through Nathaniel's envious eyes, Ren knew that the 'stand-in doll' provided by Veronica was not as simple as it seemed. .

Later, after being introduced by Nathaniel, Renne found out.

"The production of stand-in puppets is extremely difficult and requires a special type of person among formal wizards, commonly known as 'puppet masters' to make them."

"The method of use is also very simple. You can use mental control to cast it, or you can wrap a strand of the user's hair or a drop of blood around the stand-in doll to cast it."

"The stand-in doll will transform into the user's appearance in the next day and release the user's aura at the same time. Even ordinary wizards will find it difficult to detect the difference. The problem will only be discovered after the attack."

"Of course, the stand-in doll also has limitations, that is, after the spell is applied, it will not become a movable doll. It can only transform into the user's static appearance. After being damaged, it will return to the doll's appearance."

"So, they are usually placed in specific places to mislead the enemy."

Although there are various restrictions, it is one of the best witchcraft props for wizards or wizard apprentices when encountering assassin-type enemies.

This is also the reason why Nathaniel showed an envious expression.

At this time, Nathaniel has set up a warning witch formation around Ren's room. Once an enemy steps in, he will warn him, but this is not safe.

Judging from the fact that the other party can quietly enter the captain's room of the fourth-level ship, the other party probably has some kind of witchcraft props or special witchcraft that can quietly enter the room and perform a sneak attack.

In the previous discussion, several people decided on two plans to deal with the attack.

The first is that the other party is not just one person, but two or more people, then Veronica will assist Ren, while Nathaniel and Trevor will be responsible for the others.

This pairing is also well thought out. Both Nathaniel and Trevor are members of the Ichthyosaurus team. The two know each other very well. When they cooperate, they can often coordinate with one look. Their combat effectiveness is that one plus one is greater than two. .

The second situation is that the other party is alone, so there is no doubt that everyone will besiege him

Facing enemies of this level, ordinary guards and night watchmen are of little use. They are led by Lehman Brothers, and their main task is to be responsible for peripheral defense and to deal with some enemies within their capabilities, such as Storm Crow.

After getting ready, Ren tied the hair to the doll, placed the doll on the bed and covered it with a quilt, while he was fully armed and came to rest under the bed.

When Waxman and Zenina arrived near the Fishing Port Town Administration Hall, they saw groups of three night watchmen patrolling intensively.

"Hmph, childish tactics."

"Zenina, as usual, if I fail to deal with the opponent immediately within ten seconds, you will limit the time of others."

"As you command, my lord."

At this time, a shadow began to emerge from behind Waxman. This was Waxman's trump card - the shadow assassin.

Shadow Assassin is actually a rare shadow-based witchcraft. Its body is a gathering of shadow energy. Normally, it has about 30% to 40% of the strength of the caster.

However, after Waxman obtained this witchcraft, for more than ten years, he made many attempts to study and improve this witchcraft model, and slightly managed to strengthen the power of this witchcraft.

Now the Shadow Assassin has nearly 50% of his original strength. Since this is a continuous guidance witchcraft, after maintaining the Shadow Assassin, he cannot perform other witchcraft.

Another point is that this shadow assassin cannot be directly attacked. It will disappear after being directly attacked.

Once the shadow disappears, the caster will have a mental backlash that does not last long.

This kind of backlash is not strong, it won't cause a splitting headache, or even coma. Just during the backlash period, the caster will lose the ability to perform other witchcraft for a short period of time.

Therefore, five years ago, he spent a lot of time and energy to find Zenina, a wizard apprentice who also specialized in the shadow system, and has been training her to this day.

The purpose is to use shadow defense to witchcraft to strengthen the shadow assassin's defense and avoid being directly attacked. The other point is to support his actions to a certain extent.

I saw Zenina reciting a spell, and a black shield soon appeared on Waxman and the shadow assassin one after another. Then, the shield slowly disappeared. From the appearance, No trace of the Sorcery Shadow Shield can be seen.

It was not that Waxman had not considered whether he should first kill the companions of the target Rennes one by one, and then finally kill Renn.

But after thinking about it, there may be some changes in the middle, causing the target person to escape, or other unexpected circumstances.

The best way is to kill with one strike!

Moreover, after so many years of assassinations, Waxman has almost never failed with his shadow assassin.

Waxman and the identical shadow assassin were seen disappearing into the shadow of the street ahead. The next second, the shadow assassin walked in through the wall.

The next second, Waxman's figure disappeared suddenly, and the shadow assassin's figure appeared on the spot, and the two actually exchanged places.

It turns out that this is the biggest effect of the shadow assassin. It can exchange places with the caster. Of course, this ability will consume a lot of mental power of the caster, and if it is used continuously, the mental power consumption will increase geometrically. .

Therefore, it cannot be used at will.

But this is already a very special ability, equivalent to Waxman having the ability to walk through walls in disguise.

If Marika saw this scene, she would definitely be able to figure out how the other party attacked and killed a high knight captain in the closed captain's room.

After Waxman came to the Executive Hall, he first controlled the shadow assassin to sneak into several rooms. After a few minutes, he identified the room where the target person was located.

Zenina outside, based on Waxman's infiltration situation, began to use the witchcraft of shadow fog. Soon, the fog near the town administration hall began to gradually thicken.

It's late at night.

Renn felt the danger perception at level 3 in his heart, and began to faintly warn.

But the strange thing was that he turned his eyes slightly under the bed and looked around, but he couldn't see any trace of anyone.

Suddenly, like a mist, a shadow passed through the wall and entered his room. The next second, the figure flickered, as if the shadow suddenly turned into some kind of entity.

A middle-aged man in leather armor appeared in front of Ren's eyes.

After another second, another shadow entered the room through the wall again.

In other words, at this moment, two figures with the same appearance, one virtual and one real, came to Ren's room.

I saw the middle-aged man in leather armor entering the room. His eyes quickly locked on the motionless 'Ren' on the bed. He immediately showed a faint smile, and then with a sudden movement, the other person pulled out two radiating weapons from his waist. A dagger with a bloody halo.

The action of the middle-aged man in leather armor was repeated by the identical shadow with almost no delay.

Then, two figures, one virtual and one real, holding two daggers, silently surrounded Ren's bed from different directions.

Ren, who was under the bed, looked at this scene, and then thought of the two assassinations against the Imperial Navy Rear Admiral that Marika mentioned before, and he felt enlightened.

I saw the shadow walking near the bed and took the lead in launching an attack!

"hiss!"

The sound of a sharp weapon tearing through the air was heard, and the phantom held a dagger and slashed towards the head of 'Ren'!

If it is hit hard, it will definitely be a fatal blow that penetrates the brain from the forehead.

"Bang!"

There was a sound like a bubble bursting!

In Waxman's shocked eyes, the target figure originally lying on the bed suddenly turned into a wooden doll, and the dagger of his shadow assassin only stabbed into a wooden doll. .

Unexpectedly, the other party had no time to react and his forehead was penetrated, and his brains splattered everywhere.

Unexpectedly, the opponent reacted in time and parried the shadow assassin's blow. Then he would attack from behind and kill with a last hit!

But none of the above happened.

This made the experienced Waxman stunned for a short moment.

Immediately afterwards, just when he secretly thought something bad and planned to fly back.

At this moment, after the doll received force, it suddenly exploded below, and a stream of bright fluorescent dust immediately sputtered out.

Although Waxman's pupils shrank and he retreated quickly, it was inevitable that, more or less, the leather armor was contaminated with a small amount of purple fluorescent powder. The shadow assassin was equally fast, but also contaminated with a lot of fluorescent powder. pink.

Although the amount was very small, in the dark night, the two shining figures were very eye-catching.

Just when Waxman was about to wipe it clean and leave immediately, a warning sign suddenly occurred in his heart. The entire bed in front of him suddenly came towards him like an overwhelming force. Just when he was about to fly back, the bed suddenly fell into pieces!

A tall silver figure with a young appearance but ridiculously bulging muscles, holding a two-handed war hammer, suddenly attacked him from top to bottom!

It's Ren who has used 'Limit Breaking' and his talent 'Intermediate Power'!

Waxman naturally would not choose to pick up the opponent's heavy weapons.

No matter how sharp or sophisticated his dagger is, it would undoubtedly be foolish to fight head-on with a two-handed warhammer that weighs dozens of times his own weight.

I saw Waxman starting to break the limit, tipping his toes, and his whole body speed surged, retreating as fast as an arrow from the string, and calmly dodged the hammer hit by Renne.

Just when Waxman felt relieved and thought he had dodged the blow from the opponent's war hammer, and began to control the shadow assassin on the side to counterattack, his pupils suddenly shrank.

Because he saw that after Renn's hammer missed him, he did not stop. Instead, he accelerated his swing and hit the floor of the room with a heavy blow.

Suddenly, an invisible but extremely destructive wave came from the point where the opponent's hammer hit the ground.

The ground shattered inch by inch and formed a fan shape, spreading forward very quickly. At this time, a loud "boom" sound came.

Including the shadow assassin, both of them were immediately attacked.

I saw a flash of black light on the shadow assassin's body, and with a 'pop' sound, the shadow shield cracked, and the shadow suddenly disappeared.

Even though Waxman suffered a backlash, his whole body froze again, but fortunately, there was also a flash of black light on his body, and a black film offset most of the damage caused by the multiple shocks.

However, the concussion was so powerful that it directly collapsed the wall behind Waxman. For a moment, the sharp sound of the warning witch formation was heard, and footsteps of different sizes were heard nearby.

But then there was a muffled sound, and Trevor and others who came to support seemed to be attacked and restrained in some way.

Renn did not wait for the planned support from Trevor, Veronica and others, but he did not panic at all and still swung the hammer heavily at the leather-armored middle-aged man!

At this time, Waxman no longer wanted to continue fighting.

For him, face is not important, and it does not matter if he misses. What is important is to assess the situation. Obviously, the opponent's defense methods are very targeted, and his strength is much higher than expected.

Therefore, Waxman made what he considered to be the right choice.

He planned to use the reaction force at the moment when the weapons collided to fly back directly. Of course, he would not choose to forcefully connect the hammer head with the strongest force. Instead, he took a step forward with great skill and got stuck in the hammer. The position of the middle section of the handle.

He didn't believe it. The next time he came, the other party would still have a witchcraft prop like a 'stand-in doll' to mislead him.

But just when Waxman's two bloody daggers crossed and blocked the middle of Ren's hammer handle, his whole person froze slightly. Not only did his plan to use the force to fly back fail, but his whole person was fixed. He stood there for a moment.

Because at this moment, a violent, multiple shock force came from the double daggers. Although Waxman had the double protection of the Force and the shadow shield, he was not injured, but a momentary pause was still inevitable.

This pause allowed Ren to seize the opportunity!

I saw Renn using his strength to perform "Giant Hammer Blow", "Giant Hammer Sweep" and "Giant Hammer Jump" one after another. With the blessing of the special effect "Heavyweight", the heavy and dark pig-headed hammer in his hand was swung up and down. , as light as a thin sword.

After that moment of stalemate, Waxman lost the opportunity and fell directly into the 'quagmire' of Renne's heavy hammer combos. Every attack would make him freeze slightly for a moment.

At this moment, Waxman lost the opportunity to jump out of the attack range of Ren's two-handed war hammer, but this moment was just enough for Ren to use the next heavy hammer again, so Waxman could only choose to use the double daggers in his hands. Stop and resist Ren's attack.

"clang!!!"

Every time they fight, sparks fly!

"clang!!!"

With the huge impact, every blow will cause the ground under Waxman's feet to instantly shatter and sink by more than ten centimeters. Because of this buffer, Waxman will not suffer from the super-high impact of receiving Rennes' heavy hammer. Injured by strong impact.

But this also made it impossible for Waxman to withstand Rennes' heavy hammer attacks continuously on the spot, because after several consecutive hammer attacks, his entire ankle would sink into the ground, leaving him in a more passive position.

Therefore, he could only fight while enduring the stiffness caused by the shock, and managed to take a step back, as if he was performing a mechanical dance.

Fight dozens of times!

The two had fought all the way from the collapsed wall to the empty backyard of the town hall.

The sound of weapons clashing was deafening, and the strong airflow driven by the high-speed swing of the heavy hammer swept the surrounding dead leaves and small branches into the air, circling and flying!

Waxman has never encountered such a frustrating battle. His advantages of flexibility and super high movement speed were suppressed by the opponent's special multi-shock power because he lost the initiative.

However, he is not worried!

Because the opponent's heavy hammer combo must be completed in one go, once he charges up to perform some secret skill or secret technique, he can immediately escape from the trap while charging up.

If the opponent doesn't use his trump card, how long can he maintain this extremely energy-consuming heavy hammer attack?

Once the opponent is exhausted, or even just shows a decrease in strength or speed, his pressure will be quickly reduced and he can escape easily.

At the same time, Waxman did not think that the young-looking boy in front of him could surpass him in physical strength. This was completely impossible.

On Renn's side, after his earth-shattering hammer caused multiple shocks, he killed the shadow and enveloped the enemy.

The entire battle rhythm has entered the situation he expected.

As for what Ren needs to do, he must ensure that every strike he strikes is powerful and heavy, and every strike is as fast as thunder!

As for physical exertion?

That wasn't something he considered.

Because at this moment he has a full 6 remaining attribute points.

As the fight approached a minute, Renn didn't hesitate to add a little more energy.

As the remaining attribute points increase from 6 to 5, the physical constitution also increases from 28 to 29 points.

Suddenly, a surging heat was vigorously pumped from the heart and quickly spread throughout the body.

In an instant, the soreness and fatigue in the muscles all over Ren's body were instantly wiped away!

I saw that with every blow of Ren's two-handed war hammer, the speed and power remained as smooth, precise and powerful as they were at the beginning of the battle.

After a minute and a half, Waxman's eyes began to show obvious confusion and surprise.

According to his rich combat experience, the boy in front of him should have experienced a decline in physical strength half a minute ago, and the whole battle would have turned around, and he could take the opportunity to get out of the current passive situation.

But it has been a minute and a half, and the opponent's every swing is still so powerful and so fast!

On the contrary, his physical strength began to gradually fail.

This made Waxman feel irritated for no reason.

Did the opponent take drugs early in the morning?

So he can maintain his current state.

Strong physical potion?

Probably not!

Because it can only increase physical strength by about 10% to 20%.

Magic blood potion?

Obviously not!

Because the effect of the drug lasts only half a minute, so it is taken during the battle, and the opponent obviously did not have the opportunity to take the potion just now.

Waxman thought quickly in his mind, but he couldn't figure out what potion the opponent might have taken, and how it could have such a strong effect!

Could it be some new drug from the Dragun Empire?

Or is this the opponent's true strength?

No, this is absolutely impossible!

The guy in front of him is only a few years old, it is impossible for him to have such strength.

Waxman felt a little regretful at this moment. He should have raised the opponent to the standard of the most dangerous opponent before making a move.

He has not encountered such a dilemma for a long time!

There has been no news from Zenina so far. She should be restrained by the two third-level wizard apprentices and a sharpshooter of the opponent.

Another half minute passed.

"Dang!!!"

When Ryan hammered down again, he clearly felt that the opponent's strength when parrying had decreased a little, because the opponent's knee was more distorted than before.

As the other party in the battle, he was most aware of the opponent's subtle changes, which also made Ryan instantly understand that the opponent's physical strength had gradually reached the bottom.

Silently, Ryan added a point to his physical strength again.

As the remaining attribute points changed from 5 to 4, the physical fitness also changed from 29 points to 30 points.

Instantly, Ryan's fatigue from continuous fighting was swept away again, and he was full of energy!

He knew that since he could sense the opponent's physical decline, the opponent would also notice this, so if the opponent didn't want to be exhausted and hammered to death by him, he must hurry up and seek changes.

Ryan watched the opponent's every move with a sharp eye, and his attention began to be highly concentrated.

He still maintained the heavy hammer blows like a storm!

At this moment, Waxman's hands and feet began to feel sore.

Even if Waxman had superior physical fitness, he couldn't bear it after taking hundreds of heavy hammer blows from an opponent with extraordinary strength.

What's more, his extraordinary characteristics are not strength-based.

So, time has dragged on until now, and he must take a risk!

Facing another fierce hammer blow from Ryan, Waxman's face showed a fierce look. He stopped retreating and leaned down. He chose to take a step forward, with his left hand raised up to block as much as possible, while his right hand held a dagger and quickly stabbed Ryan's abdomen.

Waxman chose to exchange injuries for injuries. He planned to use his left arm to resist Ryan's hammer, so as to get a chance to stab Ryan's abdomen.

He had already thought of the opponent's possible response. If the opponent dodges, it will inevitably destroy the force and cause the whole rhythm to be disrupted, and he will naturally be able to get out of the current passive situation.

If the opponent chooses to exchange injuries with him, then the worst case is that his left hand will completely lose its combat effectiveness, but the opponent will inevitably be stabbed in the abdomen by himself, thus seriously injured.

But in this case, he will be injured.

Being injured in the enemy's territory is an extremely troublesome thing, which is why Waxman tried his best to avoid this situation.

"Dang!!!"

"Puff!"

The sound of two different metals colliding sounded almost at the same time!

Ryan's almost full-strength attack was obviously not something Waxman could block with one hand. After the hammer and dagger collided, the dark pig-headed hammer hit Waxman's left arm heavily.

With a "pop", the bones at Waxman's left shoulder joint were directly shattered by the heavy hammer!

At the same time, the blood-red dagger in Waxman's right hand also pierced Ryan's water-film steel breastplate and stabbed Ryan's abdomen.

But the strong sense of resistance from the dagger, as if piercing a steel plate, made Waxman change color immediately!

This is exactly the effect of Ryan's talent "primary steel body".

Waxman's reaction was also very fast. In a flash, the dagger in his right hand was raised up and came between Ryan's hands. Then he slashed back, forcing Ryan to let go of his hands holding the hammer handle.

Seeing that Ryan had lost his best two-handed war hammer, Waxman endured the severe pain in his left shoulder, pulled a slightly ferocious smile from the corner of his mouth, and was very calm in his heart!

Without your most powerful weapon, how can you fight me?

Young man, you still lack combat experience!
