You are all my wings...

Machiru waved her wand.

call out!!!!

Even without wind, the poisonous gas was dissipated in an instant.

Then, six more vines sprouted from where she was standing, shooting out rapidly and hurtling toward Leon.

This time, Leon didn't use Shadow Leap. Instead, he judged the direction at normal speed and then dodged.

Magic is becoming increasingly precious, so he now tries to use as few skills as possible.

On the contrary, as long as combat skills are not used, stamina is quite durable, especially in terms of dodging.

Fortunately, with his agility approaching fifty, ordinary attacks simply cannot hit him.

This is similar to the encounter with the man-eating plant before he leveled up, but his attributes have improved a lot, so he can handle it with ease.

But this ease only refers to dodging.

He tried several times and found that without using Shadow Leap or Shadow Step, he could no longer easily get close to Machiru.

However, if you try to get close to Machiru using Shadow Leap, you will obviously be blocked by the vines around her.

Judging from the speed of the opponent's vines, the closer they get to Macchiato, the faster they become.

The option of quickly closing in to inflict further damage had to be abandoned.

As for the intermediate spells, he considered using them, but after observation, he decided to give them up for the time being.

Based on her past life experience, although Machiru's skin was not as special as Utaman's and Andrio's, her magic robe was clearly a fourth-tier piece of equipment.

In addition, with her intermediate defensive magic, even if her defenses are breached by just one or two intermediate spells, her combat power will not be greatly reduced. On the contrary, it will cause Leon's magic power to become increasingly depleted.

"But simply dodging like this won't work. I need to keep her mana at a relatively high rate of consumption, and I also need to make her reluctant to use powerful spells so that I can buy myself more time. Once she unleashes her ultimate move, I'm doomed... I've got it."

Lyon had an idea and came up with a plan.

At this point, Machiru seemed to be getting a little impatient and couldn't help but interrupt Leon.

"Stop running! I have a lot of magic, more than the Longevity Seed. You think you can stall for time? Not so easy."

Leon chuckled inwardly at Machiru's suggestive words, thinking, "Even if you have a lot of magic, you still have to use it all up."

He didn't waver, continuing to dodge the vines, rolling and leaping around the desert.

Then, each time he dodged, he made it look like he was struggling, as if he would be hit at any moment.

This also gave Macchiato renewed patience, and she didn't have any intention of unleashing a more powerful spell.

He simply increased the number of vines again, with two more extending from his side and continuing to strike Lyon.

This result was exactly what Lyon wanted.

Machiru's psychology was very subtle. Just like when Leon played Jump Jump in his previous life, the overly simple and straightforward gameplay always made him feel that he could jump farther next time.

His feigned evasive maneuvers gave Machiru the illusion that if she were just a little faster this time, she would definitely catch him!

However, if too much time dragged on, Macchiato would definitely start to have doubts, so Leon timely activated his trust aura and focused it on her.

Chapter 95 Mastering New Skills

Initially, the effects of betting on the halo of trust are not yet obvious.

However, since the situation was still in her favor and she still had many powerful moves to use, she did indeed maintain the consumption of these eight vines and repeatedly pulled back and forth with Leon, just as Leon had planned.

This was, of course, also because of her physical defect, which made her prefer to solve problems with basic magic rather than use higher-level magic.

The larger the scale of the magic, the more mental pollution it will inevitably bring to her, thus affecting her condition.

However, if it is only a basic magic, then the intensity of mental contamination is still somewhat controllable.

The eight vines, although quite taxing, were still within her acceptable range.

Leon had precisely anticipated this psychology of hers, and used his evasion to accelerate the depletion of Macchiato's magic power.

Thus, the two maintained a state of flashing and shooting, repeatedly entangled, weaving back and forth, twisting and turning within a small area.

But as time went by, their battle gradually took a strange turn.

On one hand, there's Leon, whose dodging skills are gradually becoming more and more sharp, and he's even showing signs of incorporating the Shadow Step into his dodging habits.

He even noticed the updates to the panel information.

[Single-handedly facing four levels, tenaciously dodging, utilizing the Shadow Step technique, mastering the art of evasion, Agility +2]

[Repeated use of the Shadow Step technique accelerates the digestion of accumulated monster energy, Stamina +1]

These two pieces of information flashed by quickly. Leon was focused on dodging the vine attacks from Macchiato and didn't have much time or inclination to pay attention to them.

But he knew he had become lighter.

Unconsciously, I have gained a deeper understanding of the combat techniques of the Shadow Step.

So combat techniques are different and have to be used like fixed skills?

Once mastered, it can be integrated with other techniques, just like magic.

These insights flowed through his mind unconsciously, making it easier for him to dodge.

On the other hand, as Macchiato fought, she was inexplicably drawn to Leon's beautiful and graceful dodging techniques, and unconsciously began to hold back her strength in her attacks.

Of course, she also realized the problem and sped up her attack.

But after speeding up for a while, she unconsciously had a strange change of heart, which made her unable to resist stopping at the last moment.

As time went on, given her personality, she would have eventually tried to change her strategy, gritting her teeth to unleash her ultimate move and take down Leon in one fell swoop.

But when the time came, she hesitated and ultimately decided against using her ultimate move.

She hasn't realized that it's the halo of trust that's working.

Instead, I comforted myself with this thought:

"It's alright. A mere second-tier cultivator can't cause any trouble for me. Although his agility is more like that of a fourth-tier cultivator than a second-tier one, it's probably due to some special magical item. That's good, it allows me to observe this soon-to-be-acquired test subject more closely."

Several minutes passed quietly like that.

At this moment, the crucial battle between Iris, Berylita, and Andrio has reached its most critical stage.

At first, Andrio kept controlling the centipede, which leaped up and down, stirring up the sand and making the battlefield a mess, which greatly affected the vision of Iris and Britta.

At the same time, Andrio also used the Centipede's skill to launch a veiled attack.

As soon as the skill was activated, the surrounding sand and dust rose up and turned into a series of sand missiles, which shot at high speed toward Iris and Britta.

This move, at first glance, seems righteous and aboveboard, but it is actually very well concealed. Hidden within the flying sand are even finer, imperceptible sand attacks.

If you only dodge, you will inevitably be hit by the smaller ones even if you dodge the big ones.

Under this attack, Berylita could only activate a mid-level holy defense spell to temporarily protect herself and Iris.

Intermediate-level defensive magic consumes a lot of mana. In the entanglement with the Centipede Sandworm's skill, Berelita's mana was continuously depleted, causing her to frown.

At this moment, Iris began to condense the Spear of Judgment and fired it out one after another.

Besides being her strongest single-target attack spell, the Spear of Judgment also has a very outstanding characteristic.

That's a sure win!

Once the target is linked, the Judgment Gun will hit the target location no matter what.

Andrio's combination with the centipede at this point turned out to be a mistake.

Although it can use the magic power remaining in the centipede's body to activate various skills, it also makes it difficult to move around and dodge, and can only constantly use defensive magic and the Spear of Judgment to fight head-on.

With Iris's current total magical power, she could easily unleash thirty Judgment Spears at once, each with power comparable to a mid-level spell.

Taking into account the magic power that the Radiant Moss she was constantly chewing could accelerate her recovery, it was entirely possible that she could fire three or four more Judgment Spears in a single battle.

In this way, even if Andrio constantly uses defensive magic to resist the Spear of Judgment, there will eventually come a time when he can no longer withstand it.

Bang!Bang!Bang!

Andrio kept manipulating the centipede to move its body, but he couldn't escape the judgment spear that Iris fired afterward, and could only passively remain in a stalemate.

In order to ensure that Iris's Executioner's Spear would actually hit Andrio, rather than just whittle down his defensive magic, Brierita was simultaneously chanting the Holy Annihilation spell while maintaining her defensive magic.

Upon seeing the sixth shot, where both sides were locked in a stalemate, she finished her chant and unleashed this long-awaited ultimate move.

Holy Annihilation!

A magnificent holy light suddenly appeared, sweeping out and instantly moving from below to the lower part of the centipede's body, then sweeping upwards and blasting towards Andrio.

The centipede had already withstood a Holy Annihilation attack, and thanks to its immense vitality and the enhancement of Andrio's alchemical magic, it had not yet lost its fighting ability.

But when Burelita released another Holy Annihilation, this monster with the thickest blood in the fourth rank finally exhausted all its magic and life force, turning into a large pool of blood that splashed down from mid-air.

Only the part connecting the head and Andrio remained, as it fell from the sky.

The holy light continued to sweep across Andrio.

With a pop, Andrio's intermediate defensive magic shattered.

BOOM!!!

The remaining power of the Judgment Spear struck Andrio in the chest, piercing a tiny spot the size of a centimeter on his robe before dissipating.

At the same time, the light of holy annihilation also fell upon the magic robe that Andrio had just acquired.

Sizzle! Sizzle!

This magic robe was clearly a decent fourth-tier piece of equipment, but it only withstood Holy Annihilation for a few seconds before it began to burn to a golden-brown color and emit a strange smell.

After a while, the magic robe completely turned into charred fragments, scattering from Andrio's body and revealing his strange, pale, sickly skin.

It was transplanted from the skin of a fifth-order pseudo-fallen angel.

The holy light continued to fall upon him, burning his pale skin to a half-yellow, half-black hue, before ceasing to have any effect.

However, although the Holy Annihilation no longer caused any damage, it firmly suppressed Andrio, forcing him to use his magic to resist the attack and preventing him from doing anything else for the time being.

Chapter 96 Original Blood Transformation

Brelitta, who saw this scene from afar, sighed softly to herself.

Just as Leon had said, his move was close to a high-level spell, but it was ultimately unable to overcome the opponent's high magic resistance.

Of course, if Berylita were to fire three or four shots in a row, she didn't believe Andrio could withstand it.

However, even with all her magical power combined, Berylita could only unleash a maximum of two attacks in a short period of time.

This is also why she never uses high-level magic.

Using advanced magic will instantly deplete her magic power.

Although she possessed powerful skills, far surpassing those of Iris, her magic power was insufficient, forcing her to follow Leon's strategy.

At this moment, Iris remembered the battle tips Leon had given her earlier. Seeing that Saint Annihilation had temporarily suppressed Andrio, she immediately seized the opportunity and once again fired the Spear of Judgment without chanting.

After reaching the fourth rank, she was able to use her class advantage to perform a non-chanting version of this move.

After the first shot was fired, the second, the third, and the fourth followed immediately.

Using the pressure exerted by the Holy Annihilation on Andrio's body, Iris combined the high-speed casting techniques she had learned in Lyon and swiftly launched seven Judgment Spears.

call out!call out!call out!

Although Andrio is strong, he unfortunately encountered two fourth-tier players with potential of S or higher.

First, she was suppressed by Burelita's Holy Annihilation, and then she was hit by seven consecutive Judgment Spears. Her chest skin quickly broke through, and irregular cracks appeared. It was clear that she could no longer easily withstand Burelita's Holy Light magic.

Of course, his combat power is still intact, and he has successfully used four ordinary monsters and the centipede to consume a large amount of magic power from Iris and Berelita.

This was all part of his calculations.

The only miscalculation was that the Executioner's Spear was not easy to dodge, and it could even damage his skin, which was that of a fifth-order pseudo-fallen angel.

This thwarted his plan to defeat the two men without taking any damage.

Of course, this wasn't the most infuriating thing.
