Shadow Covenant

Chapter 29 "Clues Emerge"

Facing the fierce sword moves of the hateful human beings in front of him.

The spirit nature of the bully monster makes it subconsciously flee into the shadows when it encounters danger.

After all, as long as they enter the shadows, they have no natural enemies.

But the flash powder that Woody bought specially for it in the secret shop, the simple trick "flash" performed by him is not so fake that it can't even last for two seconds.

Therefore, except for a small shadow under Woody's feet, there is no other shadow area that the weak monster can hide from.

At that moment, the bullying monster was already inevitable, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and take the attack from the long sword in the hands of the demon hunter.

clang!
The strength of the Weak Monster is not high, but its two two-handed giant pincers, which are equivalent to the characteristics of natural weapons, are not so fragile that they can be cut off by a single sword when facing the steel long sword made by ordinary mortals. This became the last barrier to protect it from being dominated by a sword.

However, the combination of the steel long sword and Woody's swordsmanship made the long sword feel like an ax chopping trees, and the blade was deeply embedded in the pair of giant pincer-like arms of the Weak Monster.

"hiss!"

There was no sound from the weakling's mouth, but the scream from the pain had already reached Woody's mind through telepathy, as if the sound wanted to make him feel the pain of his body being divided by a sharp sword and his bones being chopped off. Pain.

Woody had already untied the ribbon, exuding yellow light and eyes like poisonous snakes, with a flat face, as if he was not annoyed that his blow failed to succeed, and he was even more unaware of the scream of pain in his mind.

"The shadow ambush was successfully launched, and you successfully attacked the weak monster that was caught off guard."

"Swordsmanship·Heavy Slash Activated."

"Successfully launched Sword Art · Heavy Slash · 2, causing 14 (+2) points of damage to the target."

"The target blocked successfully and entered the bleeding state (moderate injury)"

He didn't hit the vital point, and his blade's damage to the weak monster was limited.

However, he is very calm now, and the flashing data in his retina did not shake his heart at the moment.

The reason why the Weak Monster only appears at night and on cloudy days is precisely because in that environment, it can move in the shadows as it pleases.

But if this condition is discarded, the bully is not a very difficult creature.

They have been hiding in the shadows for a long time, using "spiritual torture" telepathy to deal with the enemy, they have already lost the experience of fighting the enemy head-on.

Generally, normal advanced professionals can deal with one or two, and their strength is roughly equivalent to those unemployed gangsters in the slums. In the Fairy Wilderness, they can be regarded as the bottom-level monsters. People at least know how to use tools, ambush, stealth, and assassination.

After the Weak Monster was exposed to the light, it found that everything it relied on disappeared as the shadow dissipated.

But no matter how low-level it is, it is still a magical creature after all. With its magical power, it can do many things that mortals can't resist. For example, after the current weak monsters find that the sound can no longer affect the human beings in front of them, they start to use hallucinations attack.

So, in Woody's field of vision, at the edge of the bright field of vision created by the flash technique, one after another of strange phantoms began to appear, heading in his direction.

In the past, the bullying monster could escape into the shadows while the attacker was dazed by the hallucinations, but although the flash technique had dimmed a little, the shadows had not drowned out the light again.

It will take about two seconds before it can escape into the shadows.

All it can do is to let the illusion begin to further distort the five senses of the human being in front of him.

For example, now Woody has found that the hilt of the sword he is holding has begun to activate.

The black iron began to melt, wriggling as if alive, gradually growing brown scales, and a triangular head with eyes like his protruded from the end of the sword hilt.

This is an extremely poisonous viper, it made a hissing sound, with its fangs exposed, it looked full of attacking posture.

Ordinary people might have discarded the long sword in fear, but Woody, who has already had experience in dealing with bullies in his previous life, knows that the best way to face these hallucinations is to close his eyes.

Although a perception of up to 16 points cannot be as magical as a perception of 20 points, with eyes closed, it can still allow him to construct a general framework and a vague outline for the real world.

Only this is enough.

The anchor point was fixed at the position where the blade intersected with the weak monster's arm, and Woody suddenly moved with the long sword. Although the blade was still on the weak weak monster's arm in front of him, his body had taken a big step forward .

At this position, he only needs to stretch out his hand to touch the deformed body of the weak monster in front of him, which is covered with a layer of "tree skin", and covered with black bone spurs. There was a vicious look from the eyes of the insect's head.

But he still kept his eyes closed, not giving the hallucination any chance to affect his perception.

With the coming of the shadow, the weak monster's heart gradually became manic. Its insect-like eyes fixedly stared at the human being who closed his eyes and dared to provoke him.

It is full of wisdom and will not let him get it easily next time like this time. It will hide in an absolutely safe place, and then torture his mind all the time. When he is exhausted, it will come out to take away his fear. .

However, before it can think about how to torture the human being in front of it, a cold light suddenly appeared in the last afterglow of the "flash technique".

I saw Woody turned sideways on the spot, exerting force with his left leg and elbow at the same time, pushing up to this weak monster who was half a head shorter than him, but his vacant left hand had already grasped it backhand at some point. Put the long-bladed dagger stuck in the waist that has not been unsheathed.

A combat specialty that almost all senior demon hunters of the Shadow Snake School possess.

"Two-weapon attack."

Moreover, the weapon is one long and one short, not like a ranger or a thief, a two-handed scimitar or a long sword. The demon hunters of the Shadow Snake School have unique training skills.
This requires the coordination of the left and right hands to achieve a certain point of balance between the direction of the mind and the direction of the blade, and it can be regarded as a complete mastery of the special specialty of "two-weapon attack".

Woody didn't have time to practice after becoming an advanced demon hunter, so naturally he didn't have this specialty.

But for the creatures that have been fixed in place by his long sword, relying on the battle memory of the previous life in his mind, it is still possible to use the sneak attack hidden blade that is quite common in two-weapon combat, and fixed-point attack can still be done.

The dagger in his hand was like a poisonous snake threatening his life, piercing through the head of the weak monster in front of him from bottom to top at a tricky angle.

"The shadow ambush was successfully launched and successfully hit the vital parts."

"Spurt launch."

"Successful thrust*3, causing 22 (+3) fatal damage to the target."

"Target is dead."

"Successfully kill the Weak Monster and get 120 experience points."

Sure enough, the experience given by the magical creature was more than double that of the sahuagin.

After all, if it is an unprepared mercenary team, although they can protect themselves from bullying monsters, it is extremely difficult to kill them.

Only Woody, who has experienced the Goblin Wilderness coming to Asenland and knows the weakness of the weak monster, can easily deal with this kind of monster that affects people's mind so easily at a low level.

Pulling out the dagger mercilessly, letting the corpse of the weak monster lie in the dilapidated ruins with overgrown weeds, Woody once again looked at the old street wrapped in shadows again.

There was already some longing in his eyes.

The items dropped by the little girl just now indicated the direction of the girl's progress. She should have been chased here by the sahuagin in a panic.

Soon, the newly cracked rotten wood fracture, the grass that was trampled down...

According to the clues they surveyed, these Woodies found that the traces that had not dissipated last night all pointed to the square in the center of the old street.

In a long-abandoned tall circus shed.

But before entering, Woody looked at the dead body of the Weak Weak Monster.

His spirit hunting oath seems to be unbearable...
