King Ember's Journey to Tevat

Chapter 864: Shield-poking style? Turtle style!
"Heavy armor? Shield? The best defense is always offense." The captain saw the enemy in front of him huddled behind a huge concrete slab and just shook his head.

"How can you say such a thing? It seems that you have never been tortured by the shield!"

"Wow!"

Yu Jin used the hilt of his ant-stinging rapier to remove the lumps and stains on the shield in front of him. Then, dense fingerprints that made one's scalp tingle appeared on the surface of the shield.

Fingerprint Stone Shield - A huge stone shield with fingerprints all over its surface. One of the heaviest shields.

This is part of the cemetery of ancient gods. It is said that the fingers that have not been untied have left traces of their own words - perhaps this is the beginning of madness.

As the shield with the most terrifying defensive power, the Fingerprint Stone Shield was burned by the insane fire without collapsing. Therefore, the addition of the already hard shield gave it an aura of uneasiness that other large shields had never had.

The fingerprints on the stone shield were densely packed, making people feel dizzy at a glance. Through the traces of the stone shield eroded by the fire, a tiny trace of inducement emanated.

"Well……"

The captain shook his head to dispel the discomfort in his eye sockets. After the dizziness in his mind entered his eyeballs, an inexplicable impulse filled the empty space in his mind.

This urge wants the captain to give up everything and act solely on chaotic instincts - this thing is not normal!
"drink!"

As the chill surrounded him, his rationality returned. The captain put away his contempt and began to treat Yu Jin as a real strong enemy.

"Hey, come here!"

Noticing the captain's abnormality, Yu Jin tightened his grip on the ant-sting rapier in his hand. The power of the turtle flow... no, it was the shield-piercing flow that had just been revealed a little bit!
Holding a large shield and wearing heavy armor, the captain immediately gave up the idea of ​​a frontal attack.

Since it seems difficult to deal with the front, just attack from the side!

"call!"

The captain's tall figure disappeared in an instant, so fast that the people in the distance couldn't react at all.

But this does not include embers.

Lifting my leg…nothing happened.

Yu Jin looked down and discovered that jade-white ice crystals had covered his calves.

The ice crystal seemed to be connected to the earth. When Yu Jin tried to lift his legs, he encountered surprisingly great resistance.

So he simply stopped lifting it. Do you really think that wearing heavy armor and holding a large shield is cumbersome?

"Oh!"

Yu Jin's figure also disappeared on the spot, but he was not like the captain who made himself invisible by relying on his speed, he disappeared in the physical sense.

Perhaps "teleportation" would be a more appropriate description.

"call!"

The air vibrated, and the captain struck into the air, and behind him, the disappearing figure of the ember appeared out of thin air.

"I poke!"

The ant-stinging rapier pierced out from behind the big shield, aiming directly at the captain's thigh.

"when!"

The captain's reaction was extremely quick. When he sensed the danger coming from behind him, he turned around and raised his hand to block the tiny rapier.

However, when he saw this weapon, he still felt a little uncomfortable. The reason was simple: it was just too incongruous.

He was wearing heavy armor, holding a large shield, and his weapon was just a small rapier. It looked awkward no matter how you looked at it.

Even so, the captain's offensive momentum did not stop at all. The two weapons collided, and then quickly separated. The captain seized the opportunity and stabbed straight forward.

"Qiang!"

The sword tip landed on the fingerprint stone shield, and countless sparks burst out instantly. The captain felt as if he had returned to the time when he first learned martial arts, and that was how he felt when he chopped on steel.

He flicked the knife for the first time in a long time. The force he used to stab the embers was so great that the force returned at this moment was so great that the captain's hand holding the sword was slightly deformed.

As for the damage caused by this attack? Regardless of whether there was any damage, even if there was, the captain would not bother to check it out because the counterattack of the Ember was about to come.

It was called a counterattack, but in the captain's opinion, it was just a blind stab. Crouching behind the big shield, only exposing the forearm to attack with the rapier, this kind of attack was simply underestimating him!

"when!"

Unsurprisingly, the captain blocked the attack, but Yu Jin refused to give in.

“I poke! I poke! I poke, poke, poke!” Pull back your hand and stab; pull back your hand and stab; pull back your hand and stab…

Regardless of the captain's actions, Yu Jin only repeated this one action. The cold light was like weaving, and the rapier was stabbed by Yu Jin quickly, and the tip of the sword stretched endlessly without stopping for a moment.

"Dang Dang Dang!"

The captain was not to be outdone, the sword in his hand was extremely nimble, as if it were his own arm, that's what it meant.

Countless sparks of collision appeared between the two, and the raging wind was the aftermath of the fight between the two, shredding everything nearby. Even the sea of ​​sand became finer and denser.

"It's my turn!"

After blocking the attack of the ember once again, the captain knew that he would be exposed if he continued like this. So he decided to switch from defense to offense and cut off the outstretched forearm of the guy opposite him first!

"Shh!"

"Dang buzz——"

The captain took a few steps back, shook his head first, and then picked his ears.

He remembered that he had clearly cut off the exposed forearm of Ember, so how did it suddenly become a shield?
The numbness in his hand had not yet subsided when he saw the ember holding a large shield approaching him again like a maggot on the tarsal bone.

“Poke, poke, poke!”

It was another random attack, but the frequency of the attack was dizzying. This was the ingenuity of the Ant Thorn Sword.

Because it looks like a ceremonial weapon used by ladies, it is possible to attack while holding up the large shield for defense.

Also because it is small enough, it can complete any action faster than other weapons.

The rapier and the big shield are the only two perfect matches! As for the other one, it is the spear.

"Dangdangdang! Clang——"

Amid the endless clanging of metal, a louder and more piercing buzzing sound could be heard from time to time. It was the sound caused by the captain constantly blocking Yu Jin's attacks and his occasional counterattacks.

Just from the sound, one can tell that the captain's attack has hit the fingerprint stone shield again.

Yu Jin's attacks were still as disorganized as ever, and all his attacks were designed to be faster and more agile.

This made the captain feel more and more frustrated. He felt that he was not fighting a person, but a big block of iron.

A big piece of iron that can never break through defense, can stab people, and sticks tightly to people.

No matter how the captain attacked, he was always blocked by a concrete slab like a gate. But the concrete slab was so hard that he couldn't hit it at all.

In short, this battle has no sense of interaction at all. It's just a fight between two people, the captain can hammer the fingerprint stone shield as much as he can, and the ember can poke the captain's thigh as much as he can.

"We need to keep our distance."

During the fight, the captain realized that if he continued like this, Yu Jin would definitely find his weakness. The most important thing now was to create some distance between himself and this iron-hearted guy and take it slow.

"Oh!"

The captain disappeared, but Yu Jin was not really unwilling to interact with him. Seeing the other party disappear, he chased after him with the pace of a hound.

How can running be faster than teleporting? Almost the moment the captain landed, he saw scarlet sword tips stabbing at him.

Obviously, Ember gave chase.

"Let go of your concrete slab, and let's have a fair fight!"

"I poke! I poke! I poke, poke, poke!"

The only response from the captain was the monotonous and repetitive murmur of Ember.

Only then did the captain realize that large shields and heavy armor did not necessarily mean that they had to defend to the death. On the contrary, they might be the best guarantee for a mindless and mad attack.

This is the case with the Ember in front of us. With a large shield and heavy armor, he can attack the captain without restraint, but the captain cannot break his defense.

"Pfft!"

"when!"

So the captain made a bold decision - he used his own injury to gain a chance to hit the embers.
