"While I still have time! Kill him in one go! "Magni roared.
Magni's [Deity's Descent] was useful, but it had a time limit. Even though he was the number one dwarf, Duque had calculated that he could only maintain [Deity's Descent] for five minutes at most.
Why did it seem like he could maintain it for at least ten minutes each time?
Magni was more sneaky than the average dwarf. This talented dwarf warrior had the ability to adjust his own defense like he was breathing. When he wanted to harden his body, he would use all his strength. When he wanted to catch his breath, he would secretly cut off the defense in his silver shell.
This meant that while he was beating up his enemies, his [Deity's Descent] was in standby mode.
Of course, Duque wouldn't say it out loud.
Who would have thought …
The crimson sword flashed, and two pillars of blood shot up into the sky.
Everyone who was maintaining their formation was so shocked that their pupils constricted.
The left side of Magni's waist was slashed by the Greatsword of the Brotherhood, and a wound large enough to hold a baby's fist in. Under his silver skin and armor, this bright red wound was extremely glaring.
Magni wasn't the worst off. No one expected that Old Bull, who was following closely behind Magni, would have his leg cut off in an instant. His entire right leg remained where it was, while Cain's burly body was sent flying more than ten meters away. He rolled a few times before coming to a stop. Cain couldn't help but let out a cry that sounded like a bull's, and it was hard to tell if it was a cry of a human or beast.
If it wasn't for Theon, who was the third in line, who was more skilled in martial arts and had blocked the Greatsword of the Brotherhood, the team might have lost three vanguards in an instant.
"Huh?" Nefarian's short hair fluttered as he moved rapidly, and his movements were very elegant. He spun 360 degrees like a ghost, and actually crossed at least five meters, passing Lord Howl in the middle, and arrived at the center of Duque's team.
He slashed horizontally again with great force, and the huge blade enveloped Duque, Illucia, Kalia, and Sasha.
"Dang!" The crisp sound of metal clashing rang out.
It turned out that Vanessa had activated [Swift Run] at some point in time. Two short but dangerous daggers slashed down from above and hit the sword in a cross. If Nefarian was just a human, his attack would have been able to deflect the Brotherhood's sword. Unfortunately, he wasn't.
The power of a giant dragon was simply incalculable to mortals.
Without any hesitation, Nefarian, who had transformed into Viktor, slashed forward with his sword.
Fortunately, Vanessa was no longer the ignorant little girl from back then. After experiencing many battles, she also had rich experience in fighting enemies. As a mortal female Thief, it was impossible for her to compete with a humanoid dragon in terms of strength. She took advantage of the recoil from her daggers and somersaulted over Nefarian's head, waiting for an opportunity to stab him in the back.
However, before Vanessa launched a new attack, the remaining four of them still had to face the terrifying sweeping attack.
Bearing the brunt of the attack, Vanessa relied on the agility of a Ranger to lean back and dodge the attack by a hair's breadth. Duke was so nervous that his heart almost jumped out of his throat when he saw the Brotherhood almost cut Sasha's flesh.
Next was Ilusia. She chose to use [Flash]. In theory, with a flash of arcane light, she would appear 20 yards behind Nefa.
However, the Space Magic that Duque could still use just now suddenly failed. A surge of shadowy energy that was as vast as the ocean easily disrupted the other elemental channels in the surroundings.
Nefarian was bathed in flames. That was the radiance of the Shadow Flames!
His Dark Power was forcefully eliminating all the power that did not belong to the Shadow Flames.
Ilusia's [Flash] was ineffective!
Time seemed to have frozen!
Duque had to make a choice!
With his strength, this concentration of Shadow Power was not enough to prevent him from using [Flash]. If he wanted to act cool, he could even switch to a Shadow Priest and turn his entire body into a ball of Shadow Energy, using [Dissipate] to avoid the fatal blow.
Perhaps Ilusia's [Ice Barrier] could barely block the sword, but whether a Radiant Moon level could withstand it was still a question. Besides, no matter what, as a pure Commandment Priest, Kalia was doomed.
Duque could even see the despair and pleading on Kalia's face. Her red lips opened slightly, as if she wanted to say something. Duque knew very well that Kalia was not begging him to save her. She was telling Duque to run first!
At that moment, Duque felt a stab of pain in his heart.
F * ck! Abandon a woman and live alone? Even if I lose all my moral integrity! I can't even break my last principle!
Once a man's spine collapsed, he would never be able to straighten it again.
Sacrifice a woman in exchange for saving yourself? Am I still a man!?
Unknowingly, a bright golden light appeared in the huge Dark Cover that Nefarian had created.
This light had nothing to do with justice! It had nothing to do with holiness! It had nothing to do with Smiting!
It was purely a man's sense of duty to protect his woman!
"Scram!"
No one thought that a mere Mage like Duque could let out a roar that was even more shocking than thunder.
They saw Duque holding a platinum awl in his left hand and his newly upgraded Spiraling Sword in his right. He was the first to pounce on Nefarian.
Some people exclaimed!
Some people were in despair!
Some people did not believe it!
Some people closed their eyes!
No one believed that a mere Mage like Duque could use a close-range weapon to defeat a humanoid Black Dragon that was skilled in martial arts.
Even if Duque had killed Archimonde as a Battle Mage, even if Duque had perfected his backstab, it was still not a head-on fight.
Could Duque do it?
If he couldn't, wouldn't the team lose their leader?
Everyone held their breath as they watched the development of this scene.
Suddenly, the situation, which was similar to an egg hitting a stone, took a shocking turn.
Duque's movements suddenly sped up, while Nefarian's movements seemed to have been slowed down by many times.
[Acceleration]! [Deceleration]!
And the [Wrath of the Dragon] that Duque had not taken out yet!
No one knew why the [Wrath of the Dragon] that Duque refused to take out just now was taken out now, and it even worked!?
That's right! Duque's swordsmanship and strength were not as good as Nefarian's.
However, as long as Nefarian's strength and speed were reduced to the same level as his, Duke wouldn't be afraid no matter how good Nefarian's swordsmanship was. If he had the ability to use his two-handed sword to pick his teeth, Duke wouldn't be afraid at all!
The Spiraling Sword that was filled with divinity of fire and wind suddenly spun like a drill, and with a piercing hum, it hit the center of the Sword of the Brotherhood.
The strong rotation actually caused the Brotherhood's sword to fly out!
