Among the low-grade spells, there were two major close-range touch spells.
One was' Vampiric Touch ', which could reduce the enemy's HP and then transfer it to the caster. The other was' Ghoul Touch ', which could paralyze the opponent if they couldn't pass the Test of Fortitude. After Søren absorbed more than 30 HP, his injuries were basically healed. The frostbite on his arm was almost immediately removed by the abundant life force. Necromancy spells were very useful in actual combat. The Ice Quetzalcoatlus in front of him was obviously slower because of its injury.
— — "Shadowstrike!"
Søren's Rogue profession was Level 9, and he could launch Shadowstrike 9 times a day. As long as there was a direct contact with the opponent, the Shadow Energy could cause 9 points of erosion damage. Perhaps this damage effect was not much, and it was still better than the effect of Søren's casual slash. However, this damage ignored defense resistance. As long as the target was hit, it would be eroded by the energy, which directly affected the vitality of the creature itself.
— — "Shadowstrike!"
Both attacks scratched the surface of the Ice Quetzalcoatlus's skin, but the skin near it was a little dark blue, and the blood vessels were obviously showing signs of shrinking. Shadow energy was very corrosive. Not only could it inflict great damage to the enemy, it could also harm the user's body. That was why many shadow mages were forced to transform themselves into half-shadow lifeforms after making mistakes in their experiments. In this regard, Rogues were much safer because the process of their growth was assimilating Shadow Energy.
A whistling sound broke through the air!
After Søren dodged, he rolled behind a rock. This action didn't look very good. In the Middle Earth, it was called the 'Rolling Donkey' move. People who liked to show off would basically not use it. However, Søren did not pay attention to this at all. He took the route of actual combat. He did not care about the demeanor of the battle at all, nor did he care about whether the battle was cool or ugly. Anyone who had experienced a lot of actual combat knew that the effect of rolling to dodge was better than moving to dodge.
Combat was a very serious matter.
It was foolish to throw away one's life for the sake of elegance. A bloody battle of life and death was not something that could be used to show off.
Søren took a deep breath and began to increase the amount of oxygen he breathed in to increase his explosive power. The secretion of Lye could be accelerated through some special techniques, and these techniques were the key to training martial arts for Professionals. His pupils were slightly bloodshot, and the outline of his pupils was 1.5 times larger than before. There were also some other subtle features on his body. These features were not supernatural abilities, but explosive abilities formed from long-term combat training.
This was even before he went berserk. If he was a berserker, he could double his pupils in an instant and increase his adrenaline secretion by several times. The Barbarians were the best example of this. When a Legendary Barbarian went berserk, their eyes would be almost the same color. Their pupils and the whites of their eyes would almost fuse together. This was not because of their ability, but just an external manifestation of their berserk state. During this time, a Professionist's ability to capture movement will be greatly strengthened.
His heart began to beat faster, like a passionate drum.
The moment Søren rushed out, his heart rate almost doubled. This kind of explosive ability required a strong Constitution to support it. The consequence of losing the Constitution was that the blood vessels would burst. Therefore, many Berserkers had a short life span. The main reason was that their Constitution could not keep up with the consumption. They had used their berserk ability too many times, so they overdrew their own vitality. This was like a master of external martial arts. Quite a few of them could not even live as long as ordinary people.
The reason why Sauron added a core point to Vitality was to deal with situations like this!
"Decapitation Strike!"
He leaped out and landed directly on the back of the Ice Quetzalcoatlus. Then he twisted his waist and stepped forward to perform a Spinning Slash. Relying on his strong balance, he found a point on the back of the Ice Quetzalcoatlus and used [Sword Form – Heavy Hack] again!
A row of data appeared:
"Activated Shadowstrike!"
"Activated [Sword Form – Heavy Hack]!"
"You've dealt 72 Slash Damage to the target (Heavy Hit)! … Armor Penetration Effect! … Sharpness Effect! … Successfully triggered Decapitation Strike! … Decapitation failed! … Target's Fortitude Test failed! … Target has entered a state of severe bleeding! … "
"Clang!"
Søren's curved sword cut into the neck of the Ice Quetzalcoatlus. This time, he did not cut into the gap between the bones. Instead, he cut directly into the bone, and his palm was a little numb from the shock. The neck of the Ice Quetzalcoatlus was cut ten centimeters deep, and half of the bone was visible. Without enough strength, Søren could not rely on his rare grade weapon to cut through the dragon's bones. He only caused a severe injury to the target. A large amount of blood gushed out crazily. The Ice Quetzalcoatlus let out a frenzied howl. Its whole body kept rolling, and Søren's figure was directly thrown out.
"Bang!"
The protective energy of the Stoneskin on Søren's body vibrated. He was accidentally swept by the dragon's wings and suddenly felt that two of his ribs were broken. A mouthful of blood rushed to his throat, but he forced it back down. The Ice Quetzalcoatlus, whose neck was cut in half, seemed to have injured its blood vessels. Blood gushed out like a faucet opened to the maximum, and the surrounding area of more than ten meters was covered in blood. Its vitality was rapidly depleted, and soon its breathing gradually weakened.
"There's one more!"
Søren did not dare to look back. He flew into the shadows, and then activated Evade Sight to enter the state of Stealth. A dragon's claw with a cold light slashed behind him. Sparks burst from the cold rock, and it left a claw mark that was more than ten centimeters long and about five centimeters deep. The claws and teeth of these Ice Quetzalcoatlus were sharper and stronger than metal. Søren's leather armor could not withstand their attacks at all. Only the protective energy of Stoneskin could resist their attacks.
The attack missed, and the Ice Quetzalcoatlus obviously retracted its claws.
Søren flashed out from the side and swung his sword at the enemy's neck. He did not know if it was because their necks were too long, or because Søren liked the thrill of decapitation, but in the following battle, he slashed the enemy's neck several times in a row. Unfortunately, there was no chance for him to exert his strength. Ordinary slashes could at most break the dragon's skin. If he was unlucky, the blade might even get stuck in the spine. However, the effect of the attack was undoubtedly very good. The enemy was bleeding faster and faster, and it began to have difficulty moving its head.
That was a moment of opportunity.
Søren seized the opportunity when the enemy retracted its wings, turned over and sat on the neck of the Ice Quetzalcoatlus, and then used all his strength to press its head down. The continuous bleeding had reduced its strength, and for a moment, its head was heavy. Then, a cold light flashed, and Søren launched another decapitation attack.
But this time, the data that appeared was different!
"Activated Shadow Strike!"
"Activated Sword Form — Heavy Hack!"
"You've dealt 78 slash damage to the target (Heavy Hit)! … Armor Penetration Effect! … Sharpness Effect! … Successfully triggered Decapitation! … Decapitation Successful! … Target's Judgment of Death failed! … Target directly died! … "
"The battle is over."
"After this battle, you've learned something about Sword Form — Decapitation! … "
…
The data of the battle skill appeared.
Søren knelt on the ground with a thud, his chest slightly panting, and then struggled to get up. He was not in a hurry to clean up the battlefield, but took off his clothes. There were obvious traces of a dent in his chest, and that was his ribs that were broken by the Ice Quetzalcoatlus. But fortunately, part of the damage was blocked by Stoneskin, and the degree of the broken ribs was not serious, and it did not directly pierce into his lungs. If it did, his explosive power would be reduced by 30% in an instant.
"Ah!"
Søren let out a muffled groan, gritted his teeth, and reconnected the broken ribs, and then panted for a moment on the spot.
Blunt damage was sometimes more serious than piercing damage, especially when the blunt damage hit the head, and it was possible to directly knock someone out. In the past, he liked to use blunt damage to deal with Heavy Armor Warriors, which could temporarily stun enemies who were not strong enough. To deal with those Heavy Armor Warriors who were like tortoise shells, the effect of slashing and piercing was not enough to cause fatal damage to them. His chest was hit by blunt damage, which was the easiest way to break bones. [Fracture, Paralysis, Shock, Stun, Stun]
Søren looked at the battle skill prompt that appeared, and then began to clean up the spoils in front of him.
First was the skinning. Dragon skin was an important raw material for making rare leather armor, and it was quite valuable!
The meat of the Quetzalcoatlus could not be eaten directly. Only an extraordinary body like his could withstand it, and ordinary people could be poisoned if they ate it. The most poisonous subdragon species were the wyverns, and their meat could directly poison people to death. The meat of the Ice Quetzalcoatlus belonged to the cold attribute. He even remembered that there was once a Chinese medicine expert who calculated the medicinal properties of dragon meat.
For example — "Ice Quetzalcoatlus, cold attribute (great cold), cold poison, liver, lungs, and kidney meridians, replenishes vitality, strengthens muscles and bones, strengthens strength, nourishes kidney yang, calms liver and improves eyesight. Those with weak spleen and stomach should not eat it. It can detoxify, but should not be eaten too much or for too long. Women should not eat it during their menstrual period. After eating it, they will bleed profusely and their lives will be in danger. "
This existence was worshipped by many people at that time.
He was the only person in Søren's memory who had trained his medical skill to more than 600 points. It could be said that he was almost "entering the path of medicine". It was said that his medical skill could stimulate natural energy and produce healing effects similar to divine spells. This existence was also a very famous "gourmet" at that time. His footprints were almost all over the world, and he even calculated the medicinal properties of more than hundreds of creatures.
He was also the idol of the foodies at that time.
It was said that because he ate indiscriminately, his Constitution dropped from 18 points all the way to 12 points, and there was no way to recover it with divine spells.
In the end, he died.
Søren did not remember how he died, but he was sure that it was because he ate something that he should not have and was accidentally poisoned.
His death could be considered a worthy one.
Søren chose a suitable place to start skinning, and then cut off some parts of the dragon meat. The internal organs of the subdragon species could be used as materials, and the dragon blood was suitable for low-level alchemy and scrolls. The most valuable part was the dragon's penis, which could be sold for thousands of Gold Derahls. Adding all the other parts together, the profit would be about 10,000 Gold Derahls.
Overall, Søren's materials for alchemy and scrolls were almost enough.
