The power of the War Dragon!
Malourcha seemed to have sensed the change in Brando's body. An instinct for danger made it alert. It resumed its attacking stance, lowering its head and scratching the ground with its hooves. Puffs of white smoke came out of its nose. Then it kicked off with its hind hooves and shot out like an arrow. It suddenly left everyone's field of vision, as if it had disappeared into thin air.
But Brando was an exception. He reached out his hands —
Bang! The scene seemed to freeze. Malourcha crashed into Brando's hands like it had hit a wall and stopped dead in its tracks. With a loud bang, the wind it brought with it caused the air to expand. It lifted the corners of Brando's clothes and the long hair in front of his forehead, sweeping past him.
Brando slid back a few steps before he could completely dissipate the force. But at least it was no longer a one-sided suppression — he could fight! His hands changed from blocking to grasping, tightly grasping the other's horns. "You think I only know how to use a sword?" Brando bared his white teeth. Twisting his hands, he roared and threw Malourcha to the ground.
Boom!
The previously unstoppable demonized Crystal Stag fell to the snow-covered ground of the forest like a meteorite. Accompanied by the fairy's shriek, a handful of snowflakes flew high into the air. Then, it dragged a deep trench in the snow, revealing the grayish-black soil underneath due to the exhaustion of magic power.
"Roar!"
It let out a pained cry and crawled up from the ground with its four hooves. It twisted its neck in Brando's direction and slashed with its long horn. Three overlapping translucent ripples swept across the dozen or so meters towards Brando. Sickle Horn, one of the Crystal Stag's basic attacks. But the original compressed air blade had been strengthened into a triple strike after demonization. This type of attack was the nemesis of Knights with shields. Only the best Knight players could perfectly nullify it, but it was nothing to Brando.
He rolled backwards like a fish, letting the three air blades hit the snowy ground one after another, leaving behind three incisions that were nearly a meter long and half a meter deep. Brendel landed beside Halran Gaia that was stuck in the snow and pulled it out from the ground with a flip of his hand.
Failing to hit its target, the stag Malourcha immediately raised its upper body and lifted its front hooves off the ground.
Earthquake!
When Brando saw this move, he couldn't help but want to kill someone. This was one of the ultimate moves that heavy cloven-hoofed creatures had to have, but the Crystal Stag was definitely not a heavy cloven-hoofed creature in Wohnde. At most, it was a large creature, and this wasn't a skill that it should have, but now it had been added because of its demonization.
But whether he liked it or not, Malourcha stomped his hooves down heavily. With a loud bang, Brando saw that the map it had stepped on instantly caved in. Then, a visible ripple spread in all directions, followed by another, and then a third.
Because he wasn't prepared beforehand, Brando had to rely on his own reflexes to dodge the shockwave. He pushed off with his hands and leaped high into the air, trying to approach Malourcha from the air. But as soon as he left the ground, he saw the Crystal Stag swing its head in his direction.
The three air blades seemed to be in front of him in an instant.
"What the hell!" Brando knew this guy would play this trick on him, so he hurriedly pulled out Halran Gaia to block it. Then, he was sent flying by the terrifying force.
Like a shooting star, he crashed into a Tree of Fog not far away, shattering the crystallized arbor into pieces.
Then, the three shockwaves that shook the ground arrived first, throwing him three times in a row and throwing him hard onto the ground. Brando was so depressed that he almost spat blood. With his strength and experience, it would have been easy for him to deal with a Crystal Stag, but he didn't expect it to be a demonized one.
Demonized creatures had many skills and were the natural enemy of players like him, who relied on experience.
He spat out a few mouthfuls of snow and dirt and got up, but Malourcha clearly didn't plan on letting him go. After losing in close combat, the stag seemed to have fallen in love with long-range attacks. It swung its long horn, and three air blades that were perpendicular to the ground flew towards Brando.
The three air blades plowed through the ground like claws, kicking up ice and dirt in their path and leaving three deep claw marks. Not far away, Maynild, who was holding down the fairy girl, saw this scene and couldn't help but frown slightly. But when she looked down at the little captive in her hands, she found that the latter had a worried expression.
"It seems like you're worried about something?" she asked.
The fairy girl trembled and quickly put on a straight face. "No, no —"
"If that's the case, this Crystal Stag's demonization isn't without a price. It's draining its life force, isn't it?" Maynild thought for a moment and seemed to understand the connection.
"You … no, no!"
"You don't need to answer, little guy." She raised her head and said to Brando, "Brando, stall for time, it can't hold on for much longer!"
"Despicable!" the little fairy shrieked.
But Brando didn't want to stall for time at all, even though he could see that something was wrong with the stag — the black smoke around it seemed to be getting thicker and thicker. He suddenly realized that the stag was suppressing its demonization. If that was the case, then it would be easy to deal with.
Seeing the three air blades fly forward, Brando flicked the Halran Gaia upwards. "Rise up, Earth's Resonance!" With a cracking sound, a row of sharp rocks stretched out from the ground like fangs, blocking the front of the Horn Scythe's air blades. The translucent ripples swept through the forest path with a whoosh, but when they hit the rocks, they shattered into pieces along with the hard rocks.
A cloud of dust and debris exploded.
The demonized Crystal Stag Malourcha raised its head in confusion because it realized that it had lost track of its opponent. Until an explosive shout sounded above its head. "Where are you looking, little deer!" Malourcha instinctively raised its head, but all it saw was a white light falling from the sky, slashing towards the center of its head.
Flash Strike Sword Art —
"Don't!" the young fairy screamed shrilly.
She couldn't help but close her eyes, afraid to see blood splatter. But the scene she imagined didn't happen. Because a black veil of light suddenly appeared on Malourcha's head. Brando's Halran Gaia slashed at the black veil of light and then bounced back. Brando paused slightly and stepped back. Then he saw that the demonized Crystal Stag's head was only left with a faint line of blood.
The Shield of Chaos was a common skill that most powerful demonized creatures had. It consumed dark magic at the cost of negating most types of attacks.
Except for holy attacks.
"Damned demonized state!" Brando couldn't help but curse in his heart. Then he immediately saw the line of blood on Malourcha's head close in an instant, gradually disappearing, and then turning into a faint mark. This was the elemental power that the Crystal Stag should have, the healing power that came from the water element.
But after Malourcha used this power, the dark color on its body deepened.
Brando saw this and stopped.
"If you keep fighting with me, you won't be able to suppress the dark magic on your body. You want to protect this forest, don't you? You want to protect those stupid little fairies. But if you keep going like this, you'll become a mindless monster — "
He spoke gently and looked at the other with some concern, trying to establish communication with the other in this way.
The demonized Malourcha shook its head, but the blood red in its eyes immediately grew brighter. "Get out, human! Get out of here, this isn't a place you should be! "
The roar in the soul swept through the spiritual world of everyone present.
"How stubborn." Brando frowned and had to raise his sword.
"Let me go, sob sob …" Maynild suddenly saw the fairy girl she was holding down begin to sob. Her eyes glistened with tears and soon, large teardrops began to roll down. "Sob sob, we don't want this place anymore. Let's move, Master Malourcha. Let's find another magic forest, sob sob sob …"
Brando heard the fairy girl's sobs and his heart skipped a beat. He felt like he had grasped the general idea of what was going on, but it also seemed like he was wrong. He stared at the demonized Crystal Stag that had gone crazy and tried one last time.
"Malourcha, we're not here to make trouble for you. Wake up, we might be able to help you — "
But the other only used one word to answer him, "Get out!"
"Dammit!" Brando saw the black flames on Malourcha's body ignite again as it charged towards him. The Crystal Stag's charge inherited the characteristics of four-legged animals, which was that it was much more imposing than the charge of humans. This was one of the skills it was originally good at.
But the better it was at it, the more familiar Brando was with it.
He dodged to the side and then held his sword with both hands. He rounded his arms and slashed at the antlers of the demonized Crystal Stag. There was an ear-piercing sound like metal clashing together. Malourcha's head and Brando's sword both moved to the side. The demonized Crystal Stag immediately stopped in its tracks and slammed on the brakes. It turned its head and launched a close-range attack with its sickle horn.
But Brando had anticipated this and laid down on his back. He knew that the Crystal Stag's next attack was a back kick. He decisively rolled away from the other side. As expected, Malourcha used its hind hooves to stab at him, but it missed.
"Now, it's my time!"
Once he got close, Brando's terrifying sword skills and rich battle experience began to come into play. Malourcha immediately realized that it seemed to have fallen into a large net. It hadn't even prepared to attack, but Brando had already prepared a full set of counterattacks for it.
Sliver's invention of attacking the blind spot from the back.
KUN's discovery of weak points at the back of the neck and shoulder blades under the horns.
Lie Yan's swaying left and right tactics.
These tactics tailor-made for the Crystal Stag had come to this world over a span of tens or even hundreds of years in the game. As the first demonized Crystal Stag to enjoy the full set of these tactics, Marocha finally understood what it meant to be a cheat.
Finally, with a loud bang, the Halran Gaia hit the side of its neck heavily. Although there was a flash of black light, it was still swept away. The flesh on its neck curled up and blue blood flowed out in a pool.
The blood dripped onto the ground and immediately formed crystallized blood as beautiful as sapphires.
The fairy girl's crying stopped abruptly. She opened her mouth slightly and looked at the scene with a pale face. It was as if she was about to die.
Malourcha's four hooves struggled futilely in the snow. But the continuous battle and the suppression of the dark magic had already used up too much of its strength. It cried out angrily, but couldn't stand up. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
