But as soon as Elderweiss took a step forward, he found that a wall had suddenly emerged from the ground behind Roddy. The dagger stabbed into the wall, but it did not hurt Roddy at all!
Dean had thought that he would see Roddy being ambushed and strangled, but he did not expect that a huge "Earth Elemental" would appear behind him as a meat shield. His shield, which had been weary from blocking the arrows, was finally blown up by the Arcane Explosion arrows during this moment of distraction. At the moment of life and death, Dean raised his staff and cast the last three "Shadow Strikes", trying to distract Roddy in exchange for a chance to dodge. But Roddy did not move at all. He took out the fourth "Energy Arrow" from the quiver, took the opponent's spell and shot it out …
"Bang!"
Elder Dean's head exploded, and his body fell off the horse.
But Roddy was only immune to one of the three "Shadow Strikes" he released. The other one stabbed his shoulder, and the other stabbed his thigh. The severe pain made Roddy groan. At the same time, the "Earth Elemental" behind him, which had been protecting him for two seconds, suddenly shattered.
Elderweiss's strength was indeed worthy of being a Level-31 Warrior. The Earth Elemental's HP was about 18000 after being strengthened by his talent. If it was a Warrior at the level of "Shadow Blade", if he did not continuously attack the vital parts, he might not be able to break it even after two hours of fighting. However, Elderweiss, who was known as the "Night Killer", found the core of the "Earth Elemental" in the third strike and shattered it with a "Dark Blast".
Then he sprang up and activated the exclusive "Pursuit" skill of the advanced "Assassin". While increasing the speed of pursuit by 5% every three seconds, he also used the "Sprint Spell" similar to Roddy's. Now that Roddy's thigh was injured, he saw it as a good opportunity to kill him!
Roddy was indeed at a disadvantage in this battle. Two of the three Elders were mages, and they were helpless against Roddy, who had abnormal magic resistance. However, if a Level-31 Assassin wanted to fight Roddy in close combat, it would be a real headache for him. It was not that Roddy was vexed that he could not defeat him, but that he was vexed that his opponent had too many life-saving skills. He was so slippery that it was difficult to kill him.
After weighing the pros and cons, he activated the necklace's' Supreme Holy Healing 'and his last custom skill,' Shadow Waltz. '
"Extreme Holy Healing" instantly healed his wounds. And Shadow Waltz was the core skill he had always used when he was a Level-59 "Ranger". After the three skills, "Sprint", "Leap", and "Shadow Afterimage" were reintegrated, he finally did not have to worry about jumping a fixed distance after each leap. Shadow Waltz combined with his footwork allowed him to have higher agility and initiative in battle.
Elderweiss's attack was as fast as lightning. When the first strike came, Roddy knew that he could not dodge it, so he simply activated the "Arcane Shield" embedded in his chest armor and took it head-on. At the same time, he used the "Turning Strike" skill with the short sword in his hand. After the shield shattered with a crack, he successfully forced Elderweiss, who was trying to attack a second time.
As Elderweiss retreated, the agility of Roddy's "Shadow Waltz" was immediately displayed. With a tap of his foot, his "Shadow Waltz" remained in place, and his body seemed to float five or six meters away, easily dodging the soldiers who surrounded him from behind. When he changed direction, he cast another "Shadow Afterimage", as if he was planning to escape.
Elderweiss's dagger cut the first "Shadow Waltz", and his eyes narrowed. He knew that he had been tricked, but he did not dare to let his opponent shake him off. From the moment his attack was blocked by the Earth Element, he knew that Roddy had a way to see through his "Stealth". And in this situation, if he was distanced from by an archer, he would not even know how he died!
Elderweiss still had absolute confidence in his "pursuit." He used dark energy to run at full speed, and his speed was comparable to the full sprint of a warhorse. As they ran and chased, the two of them quickly left the original battle formation, and were led by Roddy towards the west gate of the "Holy Cathedral".
As a Level-31 "Assassin," Elderweiss really had many ways to distance himself. With the surge of dark energy, he used the "Dash" skill, and his whole body seemed to be flying on the ground, covering more than ten meters in a single step. Just as his dagger was about to stab into Roddy's back, he saw the "Arcane Energy Propulsion" on Roddy's leather boots activated at the same time. With a dull thud, his whole body accelerated under the reaction force, and once again distanced himself from Elderweiss.
Elderweiss did not believe it. He thought that Roddy wanted to drag him into the city full of "Rose Cross" troops, and then finish the battle. Little did he know that Roddy was deliberately trying to exhaust his mobility skills. For Roddy, who had experienced countless battles, the "Assassin"'s advantage in close combat over the "Ranger" mainly lay in the few skills that could increase his speed. He knew that he only had three arrows left, and to ensure a high chance of death, he had to first exhaust his opponent's life-saving skills.
This was like playing chess. From the first move, Roddy had already calculated the results of the next seven to eight moves. Compared to Roddy, Elderweiss was clearly still too young … In order to catch up to Roddy, he hesitated for a moment with the scroll at his waist, and finally took out a "Snake Tongue Blessing". After releasing it, it instantly increased his overall status by 30%, and once again shortened the distance between him and Roddy.
This time, it seemed that Roddy would not be able to escape. He gripped his dagger tightly, and just as he was about to make a killing move, he saw Roddy suddenly raise his head and roar without even turning his head —
"Roar!"
Roddy counted down the seconds until he had exhausted all of Elderweiss's skills and trump cards, and then released the "Dragon Power Roar" skill.
The aura that came from the top of the food chain came crashing down like a mountain, causing Elderweiss, who was in pursuit, to fall to the ground because his limbs were stiff, and because he was originally chasing too fast, he rolled far away. He had never seen this kind of mental attack before. After all, no matter how powerful humans were, they rarely had anything to do with Dragons. Thus, the "Dragon Power Roar" hit him on the spot!
Roddy had been running during the process of releasing the skill, so he was still in front of Elderweiss, who had fallen. This assassin's face was covered in blood from the fall, but he could not even get up. He could only watch helplessly as Roddy turned around and nocked an arrow and fired …
But at this moment, the scepter on his back, which had been exposed from the animal hide because of the bumpy ride, suddenly emitted a bright light. The Dragon Power seemed to have triggered some kind of reaction, causing Elderweiss to feel a warm current flow through the scepter and spread throughout his body. He immediately regained control of his body!
He turned over and used the "Phantom Evasion" skill, but in the end, he could only dodge two arrows, and was unable to block the third arrow that Roddy shot at close range.
"Pu!"
The arrow that pierced through his right shoulder made him groan, and the huge force and the "Shadow Burn" that was triggered at the right time almost caused Elderweiss to throw his dagger. He cursed in his heart, but when he looked up, he found that Roddy's quiver was empty, and his opponent had already drawn his short sword and was ready for close combat …
At this moment, Elderweiss considered rushing forward and using the dagger in his left hand to fight Roddy, but he quickly rejected this idea.
Although his opponent was not good at close combat, he had also lost most of his combat power because of the arrow in his right shoulder. Elderweiss had witnessed Roddy's posture when he was decapitated by the "Shadow Blade" soldier during the cavalry battle, and knew that his opponent's close combat skills were not completely useless. More importantly, he now had an indescribable fear …
Because the trump cards that Roddy had displayed so far seemed to be endless, Elderweiss had to consider the consequences of rushing forward himself.
Thinking of the "Dragon Power" that had just appeared, and feeling the Viper Scepter behind him, Elderweiss immediately decided not to pursue him — the main goal of the "Viper Cross" was to obtain the scepter. After Dean and Claude died under Roddy's arrows, he had become the only person who could complete the mission.
In a situation where his opponent did not have any arrows, Elderweiss felt that it was not worth it to take the risk to kill Roddy. So he immediately turned around and ran, and when he turned back to see Roddy chasing after him with his sword, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind. Finally, he pulled out the last leather scroll that had a completely different style from the other scrolls …
This was the most precious trump card that Pope Dai Ze had given him — an "Ancient Scroll" that had an extremely heavy price to pay.
Roddy was a little surprised that his opponent would run so decisively, but to him, running meant death … He could condense an "Energy Arrow" at any time, and his opponent would not be able to run out of his shooting range in two seconds.
But he did not expect his opponent to have another trump card: After Elderweiss released the scroll in his hand, his entire upper body was engulfed in a ball of green flames. His leather armor was quickly burnt black and fell off, his hair was also burnt by the flames, and the Energy Arrow that was stuck in his shoulder dissipated. Roddy watched as his opponent's hands actually changed — feathers grew out from his back and arms, and at the same time, his originally extended fingers melted into the slender hooked claws of a bird.
This way, he might not be able to hold a dagger anymore.
Elderweiss knew that the scroll had a huge side effect, but at this moment, he could not care less — In the midst of his painful wails, the assassin's hands actually turned into a pair of huge wings that were at least four meters wide. With a sudden flap, his body directly left the ground!
From the back, Elderweiss looked like the legendary "Eagle Man". With the help of the dark energy, he flapped his wings a few times, and in the blink of an eye, his figure flew hundreds of meters away, and quickly got out of Roddy's shooting range …
This scene made the soldiers who were still running around dumbfounded. Whether it was the "Holy Church Army" that was running out of the "Holy Church Army" or the "Holy Church Army" that was preparing to charge in, all of them stopped in their tracks and stared blankly at Elderweiss' figure in the distance.
