You are all my wings...

It was the Minotaur's skill that triggered the bloody howl.

When it unleashes a bloody howl, it will have a certain degree of psychological shock effect on its enemies.

After that comes the classic tomahawk strike!

A dark axe shadow, aimed at the charging Leon, brought a gust of wind and slashed down!

This heavy axe strike could leave an ordinary third-tier monster half-dead!

Elizabeth waved her wand without chanting, and the tip of the wand shone brightly.

At the same moment, a semi-transparent light shield emitting white light appeared in front of Lyon.

Boom!

The light shield was struck head-on by the heavy axe, causing chaotic ripples that clearly indicated it was about to collapse.

But Leon found a brief opening; he moved with lightning speed, his body like a phantom.

Phantom Walker's movement-based combat skill: Phantom Step!

Stamina -1, Magic -1!

He stepped out of the defensive light shield, his body flashing as he accelerated and thrust into Minotaur's crotch.

He raised his silver sword, twisted his waist to generate force, and used the acceleration from before to turn and swing his sword in a side slash!

Intense shadows spilled from the blade, forming a longer and sharper edge, accompanied by a violent whooshing sound that pierced the air!

The Shadow Walker's sword-based combat technique, Shadow Sword Slash!

Stamina -2, Magic -1!

laugh!!!!

A 45-centimeter-long gash was cut open in the inner thigh, spurting out thick, pearl-like black blood droplets that dripped everywhere.

Awooo!!

Minotaur let out a painful roar and swung his heavy axe horizontally.

Having achieved his goal, Lyon immediately retreated, the ground in front of him splattered with rubble from the heavy axe.

Lyon calmly dodged the rubble and continued to move to the side to avoid it.

That last strike should have taken away 6 points of Minotaur's health.

Although my stamina seems to be depleted, the buff from the second-tier Shadow Walker makes my stamina recover faster than when I use the High-Speed ​​Mana Recovery skill!

Cost-effective!

Minotaur's magic resistance is stronger than its physical resistance. When paired with Iris, they can win using only combat skills!

As Leon leaped backward, he had already calculated the score in the blink of an eye.

In every battle, you must carefully calculate the allocation of magic power and stamina; this is the key to conquering dungeons in the long run.

However, after the initial attack, Minotaur's frenzied heavy axe occupied all of his space, preventing Lyon from easily advancing.

call out!call out!call out!

Several palm-sized beams of light shot out.

It was Iris who unleashed the basic light elemental magic, Cone of Light, from behind!

Elemental magic is known for its high speed and penetrating power!

However, it only penetrated a few inches into the Minotaur's skin before stopping, squeezed out by the Minotaur's bulging, terrifying muscles, and dissipated as magical elements.

Upon seeing this, Lyon's expression shifted slightly.

That attack probably only took away about 1-2 points of Minotaur's health.

The results were better than ordinary magic, but still not as good as Leon's combat skills.

It is evident that even elemental magic requires significantly more mana to defeat a being with high magic resistance like the Minotaur.

Or, bypass the opponent's skin and deliver the attack into their body.

Iris alone could certainly use kite-flying tactics to exhaust most of her magic and fight Minotaur to death.

But this clearly puts their post-war safety at risk, hoping that other monsters will hear the sounds of battle and try to take advantage of the situation.

"Iris, when I turn my back on you or get into a corner of the rock face, provide me with a defensive light shield, and then use the dazzle of light to blind the Minotaur!"

"it is good!"

Lyon continued to dodge Minotaur's attacks.

Without activating any combat skills to accelerate, she simply kept moving around, causing Minotaur to ignore Iris's presence.

Thanks to the unique nature of the Shadowwalker class, his agility is as high as 39, which is enough to surpass most humans at the third level, and is only slightly inferior to Iris, who does not focus on agility.

However, as Leon dodged, Minotaur gradually cornered him.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Minotaur's heavy axe continued to cleave the ground, sending shards of stone flying toward Lyon.

Some of the rubble that was difficult to dodge also took away a small portion of Leon's health.

But at this moment, the perfect opportunity that Lyon was looking for arrived.

He had completely hidden himself in the corner, so he wouldn't be covered by the dazzling magic!

A defensive light shield, supported by Iris, appeared in front of him.

Boom!

The protective shield barely managed to stop the Minotaur's battle axe.

Immediately afterward, an extremely intense light suddenly shone in front of Iris.

Light-based basic elemental magic, dazzling light!

A terrifying light, brighter and more dazzling than the basic Dazzling Spell, instantly illuminated the surrounding dark cave as if it were daytime!

Aaaaaaahh ...

The Minotaur's huge bull eyes were suddenly stung, and it arched its back, bellowing wildly.

Lyon was already prepared. He stepped out of the protective light shield's range, accelerated with large strides, and leaped into the air!

He gripped the sword hilt with both hands, the tip pointing skyward, magic gathered, and a shadow emerged from the sharp sword shape.

then--

His body twisted and slashed downwards in mid-air!

Phantom Walker Combat Technique: Shadow Sword Slash!

Stamina -2, Magic -1.

This time, they targeted the Minotaur's neck.

laugh!!!!

At the most critical moment, Minotaur's thick neck, as thick as a house pillar, dodged aside.

The blow landed on Minotaur's shoulder.

A 53-centimeter-long gash slanted down from his shoulder, all the way to his chest, which was covered in coarse cow hair, gushing out a large amount of thick black blood.

Although the sword was deflected, it still struck a vital part of the body, drawing out a considerable amount of blood.

Leon instantly estimated the approximate amount of health that this move would take away: about 6-8 points!

It's much better than the last one.

But before Leon could take advantage of the opponent's dazzling attack and deliver another blow,

Minotaur roared, and his heavy axe suddenly increased in speed, sweeping towards Lyon, who had not yet hit the ground.

BOOM!!!

Leon had no choice but to abandon his second attack, raising his silver sword to block and using gentle force to reduce the damage.

Chapter Seventeen: The Suction Wind

BOOM!!!

Leon was sent flying backward, crashing into the wall with a dull thud.

He took a hard hit to the chest, and his internal organs trembled slightly; his agility was still lacking.

"That's awesome!"

Leon wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, suppressing the pain, and jumped away from his original position.

In the instant he was hit, he activated the Shadow Walker's core skill, Shadow Leap, successfully neutralizing most of the impact of Minotaur's attack.

Compared to the amazing effects of its core skill, this move has a very low mana cost.

The magic power is only reduced by 1 point.

Of course, this is also because his class level is already at tier two, which reduces the mana consumption of core skills. Moreover, the mana consumption is high before his proficiency is increased.

"Elise, prepare your judgment spear! Aim at the wound I just inflicted! I'll give you a chance to strike!"

"it is good."

Elise glanced at Leon out of the corner of her eye, somewhat surprised by his bravery and composure in battle. He had taken such a fierce blow, yet his expression had only changed slightly.

Before Minotaur had fully regained his sight, Leon leaped forward and slashed at the minotaur head-on.

He didn't use any combat skills; it was merely to harass the Minotaur.

Minotaur swung his axe like swatting away mosquitoes, and the air emitted a loud whooshing sound.

Leon dodged with increasing ease, quickly becoming familiar with the Minotaur's movement patterns by combining his previous gaming experience.

During this time, Elise accelerated the chanting of the Judgment Spear incantation.

Awooo!!!

Minotaur repeatedly swung his axe but missed Lyon, becoming increasingly frustrated. He activated his skill again, waving it forward and letting out a bloody howl!

With astonishing magical power and a powerful vibration, Minotaur swung his heavy axe horizontally and cleaved downwards.

Leon was prepared this time. After quickly recovering from the shock and numbness in his body, he activated his core skill, Shadow Leap!

call out!!!!

His body turned into ink and dripped to the ground.

The next moment, a tall figure leaped out from behind Minotaur.

It was Lyon, who had been observing for a long time!

After the Minotaur launches its heavy attack with its battle axe, its field of vision will be slightly limited by the rebound of ground debris, causing it to focus more on what is in front of it and ignore the attack coming from behind!

Without a movement skill like Shadow Leap, even the Phantom Step combat technique wouldn't be able to directly bypass the Minotaur's massive body and get behind him.

But with the Shadow Leap, completing this mysterious leap becomes a natural progression!

then--

Infuse the silver sword with magic, triggering the sharpening enchantment inherent in the second-tier equipment.

Magic -4.

He gripped the sword with both hands, turned his body to the side, and slashed down with the blade against the wind!

Combat Technique: Shadow Sword Slash!

Stamina -2, Magic 1!

Whoosh!

The sword tip cast a shadow over the blade, flashing like lightning, tearing a 64-centimeter-long, thin gash in the back of Minotaur.

Woohoo!

The wound is located along a line from the carotid artery to the spine, penetrating very deep into the flesh.
