Broad World - Chapter 702
Chapter 699 Rush to kill
After leaving the bottom secret room full of blood, Henry saw at a glance Akanis, who was fighting desperately with countless new vampires in the narrow passage ahead. At this moment, he no longer has the usual calmness, and the whole person looks very embarrassed, and his cloak and leather armor are both torn and tattered, but with his agility, he has not really been injured so far.
It has to be said that the speed and dodge skills of the legendary thieves are fully demonstrated by the man between the ages of 30 and 40. Vampire attacks have been flashed against the skin several times, just like It is the street performers who perform dancing on the tip of a knife, and as long as they make a mistake, they will break their stomachs.
Although Henry used to think that Akanis’ fighting style was swift and swift, but now it seems to be a little bit deviated, especially with the phantom-like pace at his feet, but it’s hard to deal with where there is a little room for dodge. It causes real damage.
He couldn’t believe that, as a middle-aged man, he could exercise his skeletal muscles to such an extent that even his fingertips could be used to kill. In addition to the two weapons in his hand, the first Ascatel thief even put spikes on his knuckles. Every time he swung it, the enemy would subconsciously dodge the oncoming blade, but ignored the other one. A gadget that is deadly enough to be pierced in the throat immediately.
Of course, if you think that these are all the methods used by the legendary thieves, you are quite wrong. Akanis has many deadly weapons. Every bendable joint of the whole body can be used to kill people, elbows, knees, shoulders, toes, heels, blades popping from the sides of boots, crossbows hidden under a large cloak, darts, flash bombs, and even hair There are a few wires in the middle that can strangle the neck.
For such a person, unless he uses spells or puts on an airtight full body armor of fine gold. Otherwise, even if there is only a slight gap, it may be unclear.
All kinds of weird gadgets, at least one of the poisons that can be seen in the blood, beyond the reflexes of ordinary people, and if conditions permit, a series of traps can be arranged. These are the fighting methods of the Faerun mainland thieves. If not necessary, they almost never choose to fight the enemy head-on, because they do not have the strong vitality and magic resistance of warriors. And the ability also tends to burst in a short time, once it is dragged, it means failure and death.
Among the most surviving legendary professionals in Faerun Continent. Spellcasters (including mages, priests, druids, psychics, etc.) are undoubtedly ranked first, as long as they have countless ways to avoid death, they can almost all of them or for a long time as long as they do not seek death on their own.
Followed by those warrior occupations with strong vitality and magic resistance, their physical fitness is fully strengthened, their life expectancy is one-half or twice as long as normal people. Even in his later years, he can maintain a fairly strong combat effectiveness.
The last remaining are those professions that can only remain strong when they are young, and thieves are the most obvious example.
sneaking, hiding, pickpocketing, unlocking, assassination, etc., each has very high requirements for flexibility, sensitivity, hearing, vision, and response of the body, and the weight must be strictly maintained within 50 kilograms, otherwise it will affect combat effectiveness.
As we all know, humans can only guarantee soft bones when they are young. They begin to harden gradually after they are about eighteen years old, and they gradually age in their forties, although the condition of trained people will be better. But no one can reverse this natural law. In order to ensure their flexibility, some thieves even have to regularly drink some medicines that cause bone calcium loss. The price is that they will break bones as soon as they receive a heavy blow.
This also means. The golden age of human thieves is actually between fourteen and eighteen years old, only a mere less than four years, almost the shortest among all professionals. If you can’t master some unique skills during this time, then your future development will be very limited. At most, you will use experience to make up for the deterioration of your physical fitness. Maybe your strength will shrink significantly after the age of thirty.
is precisely due to various harsh conditions. As a result, legendary thieves on the main plane have been very few, even rarer than legendary fighters. The most important thing is that it is difficult for them to maintain their own state. As they get older and older, one day they will think that their internal physical fitness will decline and leave the legendary level.
Henry didn’t know how Akanis did this, but he must have paid a lot of money, which is hard to tell from daily life.
As far as he knows, this guy is almost non-drinking, and his diet is strictly controlled. He takes in a certain proportion of nutrients, does not eat any extra bite, and stays away from women, just like an ascetic monk.
It can be said that this kind of life is simply not for humans. It not only requires terrible self-discipline ability, but also absolute determination of will, otherwise it will not take long to choose to give up because of the boring life.
“Asshole! You came here and come to help, are you willing to watch me being torn to pieces by these **** vampire bats?” Akanis roared with a grim expression. Obviously, he was full of resentment for Henry standing aside and watching the play, so that his vulgarity came out.
“Sorry, your way of fighting is really admirable. I was fascinated by it accidentally.” Henry spread his hands and made an innocent look.
Akanis was very angry, and while continuing to avoid the vampire’s attack, he cursed loudly: “Then you should watch enough now!!!”
“Of course, I got a lot of inspiration from it. Don’t worry, I will send these guys to see their queen.”
As soon as ’s words fell, a strong light burst out from Henry’s hand, stinging all the vampires’ eyes instantly.
Zero-level magic “flash art” can instantly release white light that is dazzling than the sun. Even if the residents walking in the sun are flashed suddenly, they will be dizzy for a long time, not to mention these dark creatures that live underground all day. In battle. There are few spells that are easier to release than this, and many spellcasters like to use it to get out of trouble.
Taking advantage of the ten seconds of the enemy’s blindness, Henry sneered and picked up the Broken Demon Mace to turn on the headshot mode. With the sound of cracking skulls, at least a dozen enemies died on the spot, and a dozen severely wounded fell to the ground, instantly reversing the situation.
These new-born vampires who don’t have much power can’t resist the powerful power of this undead killer. Some of them even burned into a pool of ashes as if they had been irradiated by the sun.
Seeing this scene, the corners of Akanis’ mouth, hidden under his hood, turned up slightly. There was a cruel smile: “It’s an impressive way of fighting. But I like it very much.”
“Let these evildoers taste the fear and helplessness, otherwise the souls of those girls will not be at ease. Here. I found this magic dagger below. As a participant, you are eligible for a trophy.” The “throat slitter” who said Henry pulled out of his waist threw it over.
Akanis relied on his agility to copy the short sword in his hand. He carefully observed the **** magic power flowing from above, and soon the smile on his face became stronger: “Awesome, this sword is simply made for killing. Gently slit his throat and let the blood sway freely. It’s so wonderful to enjoy the fear and unwillingness before the prey’s death.”
Henry did not show any fuss about this kind of obvious bloodthirsty tendencies, because there are not many such people in Faerun Continent. Especially those mercenaries, adventurers, and gang members who licked their blood. Four out of ten were of this virtue, and they were somewhat mentally problematic.
He shrugged his shoulders indifferently: “You like it. But now is not the time to get nervous. Otherwise, these little bats will run away.”
Vampires are not fools, although these new-born guys are not much smarter than ordinary people, but at this moment, if you still don’t see the huge power gap between the two sides, then you are an idiot.
Obviously, none of the surviving vampires are fools. When they saw the corpse of their companion on the ground, their expressions immediately changed without any hesitation. They turned into bats or astral forms to escape.
Of course Henry couldn’t just sit and watch the enemy and just ran away, instantly opening a page in the Book of Thousand Dharma. Activate the spell above.
I saw a golden light burst out from the middle of the vampire, and a large area of positive energy was formed in the blink of an eye. It immediately made those who turned into bats and spirit forms back to their original form. Some of the powers are compared. The weak began to melt slowly like ice and snow, and disappeared completely after only a few seconds.
With a wealth of combat experience, Henry only used a sixth-level spell “Immortality” and left all the vampires, not even a fish that slipped through the net.
He has experienced countless battles and knows more about the timing than the mages who stay in the tower all day, knowing when to use which spell is the most appropriate.
Next is the one-sided slaughter. Akanis deliberately cut a hole in a position that was not so important, and gave full play to the bleeding characteristics of the “throat slitter”. After a while, the remaining enemies fell into a coma due to excessive blood loss, and were finally blessed. The stake is nailed into the heart.
With the death of the last vampire, this action to cut the grass and roots finally came to an end. Henry glanced at the blood and dead bodies over and over, and he was slightly relieved: “It’s over. I believe that for a long time, there will be no more undead gathering here.”
“Oh, why do you say that?” Akanis asked, gently wiping the blood on his dagger.
“Have you seen the dust turned into by these vampires on the ground? It will warn every undead creature that approaches what happened here.” Henry grabbed a handful of dust and threw it into the air.
As an erudite mage, he knows that the dust left by every vampire after death will record a lot of information. Only a few simple magic can reproduce the scene at the moment of death, so there is no need to worry about it in a short time. A large number of undead creatures gathered.
Akanis nodded thoughtfully: “It sounds reasonable. Although it is a bit redundant, I still have to ask one more sentence. Are you sure you have killed the self-proclaimed Bardi vampire?”
“Of course, her body is on the lower level. You can go down to see if you want. I have other things, so I’ll leave.” Henry waved his hand and returned along the same path when he came. He still has a lot to do, so he doesn’t plan to waste too much time here.
“Thank you for the dagger, goodbye.” Akanis waved his hand, and then quickly slipped into the second basement to check Weilan’s body.
Because of the bloodheads, the vampires made a little nervousness. Before leaving, I solemnly explained that this time I must see people in life and corpses in death… (to be continued)
