Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 468 Super Magic

As Scar swung with all his strength, the warhammer shone with dazzling light, fiercely smashing into Shaflock's sword-holding arm! Facing this move of attacking instead of defending, Shaflock had to face two choices at this time.

One is to ignore this desperate blow and send the sword in his hand straight into Scar's heart. In this way, Scar will definitely die, but he may also be injured by this desperate blow, which will greatly affect his combat ability in a very short time.

Yes, even though this was Scar's life-and-death attack, it was still far from a major threat to Shaflock.

The reasons for this are, firstly, his physical fitness is strong enough to give him the confidence to withstand this attack, and secondly, the Sword of Chaos in his hand has the function of absorbing the enemy's blood and recovering from his own injuries, and the recovery effect is extremely powerful.

Even though his arm was broken by the hammer, as long as there was enough blood, he would only need less than five seconds to reconnect his broken arm.

The second is to choose to change the direction of the thrust, spend a little more time to get his arm out of Scar's attack range. For a master like Shaflock, it is not difficult to do this. He will only spend an extra 0.5 seconds at most, and after 0.5 seconds, the sword in his hand will pierce Scar's chest.

Because this would avoid the vital parts, this sword would not kill Scar directly, but would only cause him serious injuries. To completely kill him, he would need to follow up with a finishing blow, but that would still not waste much time, because he only needed to gently turn the hilt of the sword, and Shaflock would be able to kill Scar in an instant. In this case...

Shaflock's sword didn't waver at all! He didn't choose the second more stable attack strategy, but chose not to dodge or evade, and stabbed straight at Scar's heart!

This type of attack might seem irrational in the eyes of others, but it was different for Shaflock. He was confident enough to implement this combat strategy. His century-long combat experience also told him that if he had the ability to kill the opponent with one blow, he should never waste even 0.1 seconds.

Because in the eyes of a true master, even wasting 0.1 seconds could create a possibility for the opponent to counterattack. In addition, the Sword of Chaos in his hand could heal injuries. As long as he could kill the paladin on the spot, his blood could make up for all the combat damage for him. Such a deal was not a loss at all for him.

In addition, because his own side was in a great disadvantage, while the enemy was not injured, Shaflock was eager to take down a head to exchange for the fighting determination of other assassins. At this time, Shaflock's sword, which did not deviate at all, had pierced directly into Scar's chest armor. The shield composed of brilliant energy was directly pierced without any effect, and the fine steel armor did not stop him for even a second.

The tip of Shaflock's sword pierced into Scar's chest muscles. If it had moved forward another five centimeters, it would have pierced his heart, killing this powerful paladin on the spot.

Although Scar's desperate Holy Slash had barely reached Shaflock's right arm, it was obviously too late. It was too late! The next moment...

"Two super magics!!! [Instant Cast] plus [Double Cast]! : [Reverse Gravity] followed by [Reverse Mantra]!"

Not far from Scar, Mizora Huran fully displayed his true form of evil, comparable to that of Bion, and a violent crimson tide of magic suddenly erupted around his body! This crimson tide instantly swept across this small area, and then distorted the gravity environment in this area, causing everyone in this area to instantly turn around and fall rapidly towards the sky!
It all happened too fast and too abruptly. In the previous moment, Shaflock's sword was about to pierce Scar's chest and heart, but in the next moment, his entire body was pulled into the sky by gravity!
The sword that was about to pierce Scar's body was directly pulled out by him, and then hit by the hammer that was also swept into the sky due to gravity, but still performed the Holy Slash!
As a result, the whole person spun in the sky like a gyroscope for several circles before he regained control of his body. Then he immediately turned his body over in the sky and squatted on the rock wall above like an upside-down spider!
At this time, Shaflock quickly adapted to the sudden gravity environment, but just as he straightened his body again and wanted to find the holy warrior who was swept by gravity like him, and then kill him with a sword again, what suddenly appeared in his reversed world was only a huge axe burning with flames!
He only saw a devil-like guy, surrounded by flames! Hanging upside down! He delivered a blow that seemed to be powerful enough to split mountains and crack the earth!
Shaflock was confused by this sudden attack for a moment. He didn't understand what was happening. But his combat specialty called [Perfect Sentinel] allowed him to react quickly! He immediately took a defensive stance, raised his sword to block, and avoided the fatal blow at the cost of being knocked back dozens of meters and his arms being completely numb!
Shaflock, who was knocked back dozens of meters, was out of the range of reversed gravity and landed on the ground again. Noshil, who had launched the attack before, did not choose to pursue the victory, but turned his attention to the direction where he had been.

It was not until he saw Scar appearing in the sky over there being caught by Mizora who flashed beside him, and then he cast a holy cure on himself to stabilize his injuries that he breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately spread his wings and escaped from the area where gravity was reversed by magic.

At this moment, Shaflock, who was knocked back to the ground, understood what had happened to him.

'That Cambion warlock first used gravity reversal to disrupt my attack rhythm and change the battlefield environment, then immediately used teleportation to send the paladin away and at the same time sent another Cambion to me.'

"It's really interesting. This battle strategy is definitely not a spur-of-the-moment one. They must have prepared in advance. But the question is, are they doing this because they are naturally cautious and think there must be other enemies in the dark? Or - are they specifically targeting me?"

Shaflock didn't know the correct answer to this question, but no matter what the answer was, there was one thing that was absolutely accurate and true, and that was that the enemies before him were really, really, really difficult to deal with!
