Since he had accepted the [Judgement of the Bone Throne] quest, Roddy knew that he would have to face the boss one day.
But he had never thought that he would have to face the boss without any preparation.
When Belorme's longsword came slashing at him, it was as if the entire world was being torn apart. The feeling of being unable to dodge when facing a high-level force made Roddy's body almost stiffen … But with his battle instincts, he still used "Leap" at the last moment and narrowly dodged the sword.
"Boom!"
The blade slashed through the air. Although it did not touch the ground, the icy aura that came out from the impact caused a crack to appear on the ground. Stones flew in all directions and hit Roddy's body, leaving several wounds on him.
"Keep dodging!"
Belorme taunted Roddy as he quickly caught up with him, not giving him any time to breathe. "Bam bam bam" sounds of impact rang out. In the blink of an eye, his longsword, knee strikes, and elbow strikes had already forced Roddy back!
The Undead Nobles' swordsmanship was generally much stronger than that of other races. Their endless lifespan gave them almost unlimited time to study their own techniques. In this aspect, Roddy was not a match at all. His swordsmanship was not good, and his attributes could not keep up. At this moment, when faced with Belorme's storm-like attacks, the only thing Roddy could do was retreat, retreat, and retreat …
Belorme's ferocity made everyone wary. Akasha and the others worked hard to cast "Holy Shield" and various BUFFs for Roddy. Things like "Holy Bind" were constantly thrown at Belorme, but because of the huge difference in level, they were all "resisted" and almost all of them were ineffective!
It was not that the other soldiers did not want to help, but they could not even get close. This was because every time Belorme swung his sword, the sword qi that shot out could even leave deep marks on the hard stone walls …
"Pa!"
Roddy had nowhere to retreat, and his back slammed into the wall of the Pasha Magic Tower. In a moment of desperation, he had no choice but to raise his battle axe to block. In the next second, Belorme's sword came crashing down with the weight of a mountain. The biting cold air blew against Roddy's face, and he let out a muffled groan, but he used all his strength to block his opponent's attack …
The wall behind Roddy instantly turned frosty white, and the temperature of the Blood Drinker in his hand plummeted as it was invaded by the power of frost. But in that instant, Roddy frowned slightly. He suddenly realized that his body possessed greater strength and reflexes than before under the intense headache.
"Ha, keep blocking!"
Belorme did not care about Roddy's resistance. With a second swing, Roddy almost knelt on the ground, and a third swing followed. It seemed that he had no intention of killing Roddy, and was only using this method to humiliate him.
But the expected scene of Roddy kneeling on the ground did not happen. In a desperate situation, he suddenly turned around and swung his battle axe at Belorme!
"Sssss —"
When he switched from holding the axe with two hands to swinging it with one hand, the skin that adhered to the handle due to the cold was completely torn off, but Roddy did not care about the pain at all. His eyes were fixed on Belorme, and he made his first counterattack in this desperate situation —
"Bang!"
Belorme, who was too close, could only block. But as the axe clashed with the sword, Roddy felt a burning warmth spread through his body — the "Bloodlust" buff had been activated!
Roddy changed his rhythm and swung his axe upwards for the second time. Belorme had wanted to take it head-on, but because of the shadow left behind by Zoro, he decided to dodge. So, Roddy seized the opportunity to reverse the rhythm and kicked Belorme, ready to cooperate with the third blow to force Belorme back …
But when his foot landed on the "Frost Baron", Belorme sneered. With a loud bang, his body almost did not move, and he was frozen in place. Then, he charged forward and slammed the hilt of his sword into Roddy's chest!
"Boom-"
The "Holy Shield" was directly shattered. Roddy could not withstand the force and took three steps back. His face was pale as he leaned against the wall of the Pasha Magic Tower. Although he was in peak condition, against an opponent like Belorme, there was no "miracle" at all.
Camilla, who had witnessed the whole process of the battle between Roddy and Belorme, had no obligation to help Roddy as a member of the "Holy Assembly". But she knew very well that Roddy was here to kill Elson's terrible consciousness, "Turing". If he died, not only would the "Holy Assembly" be wiped out, even she would not be spared.
The enemy in front of her was an undead. Would he ignore her after killing Roddy?
The enemy inside was Turing. If he regained his strength, would he let her go?
Camilla did not even need to think about it and immediately made her choice. When Belorme's sword was about to pierce Rody's chest, a huge wave of air suddenly blew him away. The tip of the sword brushed past Rody's leather armor and pierced into the wall. Clang! A hole was made in the wall.
"Who!?"
Belorme looked up and instantly locked his eyes on Camilla. He raised his hand and cast a group icicle spell. Without looking, he continued to swing his sword at Roddy. But after a series of crackling sounds, a larger icicle directly hit Belorme's wrist, causing his sword to deviate from its course.
The arcanist Camilla's ability was far beyond that of an elementalist of the same level. The spells she mastered were almost "all" spells in the eyes of others. After the icicle was "Flame Blast", followed by "Arcane Blast". Belorme did not expect the seemingly fragile woman beside him to be so strong. He hurriedly swung his sword to cast a shield. Although he blocked the impact, Roddy, who had just recovered from the impact, struck his left arm with an axe!
"Bang!"
The strength buff of "Blood Drinker" was triggered. Roddy did not expect the axe's special effect to have such a high probability of triggering. Because he had the title of "Devout", all the buffs were increased by 30% when they took effect. Thus, his current combat strength had increased by a level!
After being struck by Roddy, Belorme's body swayed. He was stunned at first, then with a roar, he swung his sword and released "Frost Nova".
"Dodge!"
Roddy knew that he had to dodge the moment his opponent raised his hand. He shouted at Camilla to remind her. It was an instinctive reaction after many years of fighting: when there was a teammate, one must always shout out a warning.
Camilla did not think of this, but when she heard Roddy's words, she immediately spread her hands and released "Air Blast" after "Light Feather". She used the recoil to leap backwards. "Frost Nova" was suddenly cast, but it did not freeze the two at all.
Belorme did not care and continued to attack, but Camilla's skills surprised him. "Arcanist" had many more skills than "Elementalist". Not only did she have icicle and fireball, but when "control" arcana appeared, Belorme, who was attacking Roddy in a frenzy, felt as if all his joints were filled with lead. He turned to attack Camilla, but found that she had already dodged far away …
Roddy, on the other hand, was still standing with a strong will. Although he was injured a few times, he did not fall because of the healing and the maintenance of the shield.
This persistence made Belorme feel pressured. He realized that this seemingly weak human was not as weak as he thought.
At the same time, the five cursing scrolls that Akasha had released were beginning to take effect. She did not dare to release the 'Death Coil' scroll in her hands because she was hindered by the fight between Rody and Belom. However, she kept a close eye on it, looking for the right time to release it.
There was a subtle balance in the battle, but this "balance" was a humiliation to Belorme.
But to be able to charge into the enemy's formation alone, Belorme naturally had enough confidence. He swung his longsword and slashed away the "Flame Blast" that was flying towards him. Amidst the flames, he reached out and pulled out a scroll hidden under his breastplate. As he tore it open, he raised his longsword and released "Rune Cracking"!
The second rune on the longsword suddenly shattered.
"Abundant Energy" and "Rune Cracking" were Belorme's two trump cards. Once they were used, his strength would increase by several levels for ten minutes!
Roddy cursed. According to the game's terminology, Belorme, this Epic Boss, had just left the "first stage". In the "second stage", his strength would increase by 50%, and he would not be able to continue fighting. If this went on, the only thing that awaited him was "death".
"Rune Cracking" and "Abundant Energy" were skills that strengthened magic, which meant that it was very likely that he would use a storm of ice spells to blast himself into pieces. But …
Magic?
Roddy's gaze turned to the open door of the Pasha Magic Tower, but his mind was filled with the magic circles that Khadgar mentioned inside the Magic Tower …
In a split second, Roddy immediately made a decision. He gripped his battle axe, gritted his teeth, and "Leaped" into the air. When Belorme turned to look at him, he activated "Sprint" and ran straight into the tower …
"Coward!"
Belorme chased without hesitation, completely ignoring Camilla's arcane magic. At this moment, his aura was strong, and with every step he took, the dense aura emitted a frightening chill.
Sodelor and the others watched as Roddy and Belorme entered the tower. For a moment, they didn't know whether they should chase after them or not. Camilla, on the other hand, didn't care about this. She directly used "Light Feather" to chase after them …
Akasha held her staff and ran over. The injured Natha also got up and prepared to enter, but Sodelor immediately ordered the soldiers to stop the undead. However, just as he turned around, he discovered that one of the drawbridges that was half raised had been broken by Belorme's ice ball. At this moment, it could no longer hold up and suddenly fell back!
The long drawbridge crashed down with a "clang", opening up a path for the undead to charge in …
"Damn it!" Sodelor's expression changed abruptly. He immediately shouted, "Block the drawbridge! We can't let them get in! "
The Necromancers in the distance immediately sent troops to attack. Sodelor turned to Akasha and shouted, "Roddy knows this place better than anyone else! He must have a way. We must stop the undead, or all our efforts will be in vain! "
Akasha, who had already rushed to the door, heard this and immediately stopped in her tracks. However, she didn't give up on the idea of helping Roddy. In the next second, the door of the Magic Tower that was originally opened inwards was slammed shut by a violent impact!
The surface of the door was instantly covered in frost, which proved that the inside had been hit by Belorme's Frost Spell. Akasha reached out to push it, only to find that the entire door was completely frozen, and her palm was almost frozen to the door …
"Withstand the impact! Raise your shields! "
The undead spell flashed with green light as the soldiers desperately rushed towards the gap in the drawbridge. Akasha turned back to look at the tightly shut door, pursed her lips, and turned around. However, she knew that there was no chance for her to enter now …
