Ahan's 79 points of strength were the strongest in the field. Ludwig was a leader who specialized in agility, so it was reasonable that he couldn't block Ahan in a head-on clash.
After repelling Ludwig with one strike, Ahan stepped forward and brandished his greatsword with both hands, slashing horizontally.
Ludwig's agility was higher than Ahan's, so he could attack twice or more at the same time Ahan attacked. This was his advantage.
However, Ahan's two-handed greatsword was heavy and powerful, and its attack range was long. Ludwig didn't dare to use his body to block Ahan's attack, as there was a risk of injury. Helpless, Ludwig could only retreat again, opening up space and dodging Ahan's attack.
Against the steady attack style of a strength-type warrior, an agility-type assassin's battle style leaned more toward acrobatics. After opening up space, whether it was jumping, circling around, or kiting, they were all good choices, but the prerequisite was that they had to open up space.
Here came the problem. With Tactical Marches, Ahan's movement speed increased by an additional 40%, offsetting Ludwig's speed advantage. The latter couldn't open up the distance at all! He could only passively dodge Ahan's attacks and retreat again and again.
As the saying goes, if you keep defending, you'll lose. The high agility brought about by the ability to dodge couldn't be used every time. Especially for a Brave Warrior like Ahan who had experienced hundreds of battles and had rich experience fighting assassins. The greatsword's seemingly simple and unremarkable slashes had a kind of open and open suppressive force. It constantly compressed Ludwig's space to dodge, forcing him to meet force with force.
The clear sound of metal clashing rang out continuously.
Ludwig found an opportunity to stab Ahan a few times, but to the thick-skinned Ahan, it didn't hurt or itch. On the other hand, Ludwig continuously suffered the recoil damage from Ahan's attacks, and his HP dropped faster than Ahan's.
Ahan fulfilled his promise, forcing Ludwig to have no spare energy to attack Bai Xiaowen and Li Yi.
Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi went all out, and Charm Priestess Leona's HP had already fallen to the bottom. As for the other boss, Milo, although he recovered from the 30 seconds of "Strength Absorption", he had less than 2 points of Mental Strength and didn't have the ability to change the situation.
"Damn it …"
Ludwig muttered. His snake body swayed, and he moved to Milo's side. With a wave of his hand, he threw out a black ball.
Notification from the Spiritual Realm's laws:
"Amotava's Shadow Priest Ludwig's combat skill: Smoke Screen has been activated. Throw a smoke bomb and invisibility all allies in the area."
Thick black smoke rose, obscuring the vision of Bai Xiaowen and the others. When the black smoke disappeared, there was no trace of Milo and Ludwig in the hall.
"They ran away." Ahon straightened his back and sheathed his two-handed epee into the sheath on his back. "In this hall, apart from this snake woman, I can't sense any other enemy's aura."
"It seems like they have given up on Leona," Bai Xiaowen said. After Ludwig appeared, he activated Insight and saw Ludwig's Smokescreen skill. However, Bai Xiaowen's large-scale control skill, Deterrence, had already been used. Ludwig was an agile boss, and Bai Xiaowen really did not have any good means to keep him.
It was a pity that Milo, who was out of mana, was rescued. If Milo was left behind, even if Bai Xiaowen had to pay the price of one or two summoned creatures, it was entirely possible to kill Milo.
If a high-level leader with intelligence wanted to run away, it would be difficult for the awakened to stop him, especially when Ludwig and Milo still had most of their strength.
However, there was only Leona left. There was nothing to say. Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi easily surrounded her.
Leona was abandoned by her teammates, but she did not have any resentment. Instead, she had a feeling of heroism as she shouted her last words, "My death is only the beginning of the destruction. Mortals who refuse to evolve will be drowned by the black tide!"
"Late stage chuunibyou …"
Bai Xiaowen murmured. Then, he fired the last shot at Leona's forehead, killing her completely.
After Leona's death, a large golden treasure chest appeared, and Bai Xiaowen put it away.
"Your strength is not bad. I thought it would be a fierce battle," Ahon praised.
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said with a little dissatisfaction, "Unfortunately, two of them ran away. If we can keep them … even if only one of them is left, the following battle will be much easier. Now, the other side has three strong leaders left. It's a bit troublesome. "
Ahon was very optimistic, "Actually, the other side has three strong leaders left. I can temporarily hold off two of them … You guys work together to kill one of them as soon as possible and then come back to support me. There should still be a chance of victory."
Bai Xiaowen smiled and shook his head. He actually had a deeper layer of worry in his heart, but there was no need to say it out loud to shake the morale. In the end, he said briefly, "Let's continue."
…
In a tunnel in the Latent Shadow Labyrinth, two nagas were running, one in front and one behind.
Ludwig was walking in front, and one hand was pulling Milo behind him.
Milo struggled to break free from Ludwig's claw, "Enough! Ludwig, you coward! Why did you abandon Leona? Why didn't you stay and fight! "
Ludwig said coldly, "Stop your stupid shouting. I don't want to draw the other side over again. Milo, the reason we lost this battle is completely because of your incompetence. Being held back by a few small fries is a disgrace to the apostles. "
After a pause, Ludwig continued, "Leona's performance is not much better. She was completely restrained by the other side. I have to admit that the three of us are not a match for Ahon. If we don't see the situation clearly and continue to fight, we may all die there! The Lord's plan will be seriously affected! "
Seeing Ludwig mention the "Lord", Milo immediately went limp like a deflated ball.
"But … Why didn't you save Leona …"
"If I had the ability, of course I would save her. But she's already trapped, and there's no way for her to escape. "Ludwig sighed." For the success of the Lord's plan, we can all sacrifice our lives. Leona is just one step ahead of us. "
"What should we do now? Ahon and the others are advancing very quickly. If this continues, it won't be long before they enter the Hall of Eradication! "Milo said.
