Chapter 898: Artorius’ Blood-Burning War Spear
The aura of Artorius, who was holding a war spear, suddenly became fierce.
Facing Lickfire Calrig, who was dual-wielding the royal sword "Black Kiri" and the nodachi "Umakiri", Artorius suddenly opened his mouth.
An insect made of a dark green shadow flew away and directly hit the oncoming Lihuo Calrig, and his figure suddenly stagnated.
Zong Shen saw a [Drowsy] status prompt appear on its head.
This move is Artorius's [Nightmare Sleepiness], a powerful control effect that can last for up to 30 seconds. During this period, if the sleeping target is attacked, it will wake up immediately.
Of course, for the Blackwater Sword Master Lickfire Calrig, its resistance will be stronger and he may be able to break free earlier, but no matter what, this move once again bought Artorius a certain amount of time.
Lickfire Calrig fell into the [Sleep] state and instantly fell to the ground, and would wake up when it landed.
Just after releasing [Nightmare Sleepiness], the Great Demon Artorius immediately launched [Painful Blood Killing Scythe] without any pause. As a cost, it consumed 10,000 health points, and the remaining health points were around 70,000.
It condenses its own demon blood into 100 blood-killing scythes. These scythes can move freely within a range of 500 meters. Each scythe can attack three times, each time causing 0.6 times [chaos] to the target. Injury II].
The range of these flying scythes includes Lickfire Kalrig and Mogroga Blackband. It is an operation that kills two birds with one stone, greatly increasing the damage during the control period.
Immediately afterwards, Artorius once again consumed 1,000 points of mental power, activated the skill [Vampire Bat Swarm], and released a large number of vampire bats. These bats can exist for 30 seconds, and the effect is similar to the Magtheridon clone. The [Scarlet Scythe Weasel] released is a skill that inflicts large-scale AOE damage and sucks blood to feed itself.
Despite the fact that Artorius was beaten very badly before, in fact, Lickfire Calrig had not driven it to the point of despair. When it had the idea of fighting for its life, its fighting style suddenly became aggressive. .
When the first blood-killing flying scythe hit the Blackwater Sword Master, Lickfire Calrig woke up with a start.
Looking at the flock of blood-sucking bats and the [Painful Blood Killing Scythe] sweeping across the sky, it seemed to realize something, and without hesitation activated the [Black Water Wind Secret], increasing its movement speed by 30%. It also has the ability to walk through the air, and under such circumstances it quickly stopped.
The Yulin broadsword "Black Kiri" in his hand was very small, and he killed the group of blood-sucking bats that were close to him. In the other hand, he grabbed the Nodachi "Ugiri" and shook his wrist to make a flurry of sword formations, blocking those flying cutting and flying swords. The blood that comes will kill Fei Si.
When it reacted quickly, the Great Demon Artorius chose to consume the last 5,000 points of mental power and activated the [Blood Burning Curse] effect!
At this point, its mental power has been completely emptied. Unless it enters a meditative state or undergoes soul-sucking and devouring, it will be difficult to fully recover its mental power in a short period of time!
A demon sorcerer without mental power is like a tiger with broken teeth. Artorius can no longer use the demonic secrets in the [Demon Code], including those skills that require the consumption of mental power.
Such a move already represents Artorius's determination to fight to the death!
The [Burning Blood Curse] took effect almost instantly after being activated. The body of the Black Water Sword Master Lickfire Calrig was covered in strange black energy. This black energy was not dark energy, but a sign of curse possession.
At the same time, it felt seriously uncomfortable.
This discomfort comes from the inside out, making it feel restless. The blood in the body is as hot as boiling. They flow through the body along the blood vessels under the strong transport of the heart, which also makes this discomfort feel. Spread quickly.
Even the pain resistance possessed by Lickfire Calrig can't alleviate the pain of burning blood!
You must know that although the [Blood Burning Curse] is not as overbearing as the [Blood Burning] effect, it lasts extremely long and also has some [Blood Burning] damage characteristics.
In the next 12 hours, the cursed Lickfire Calrig will be unable to receive any healing or health recovery effects, and every 6 minutes it will lose damage equal to 0.5% of its maximum health.
In other words, [Burning Blood Curse] is a weakened version of the [Burning Blood] effect that takes effect slowly, allowing it to withstand damage equivalent to 5% of its upper limit of health every hour.
After 12 hours, that's 60% of the damage. Coupled with the incurable effect during the existence of the curse, this move is enough to give Lihuo Calrig a good drink.
This is the way a dull knife cuts flesh.
"Damn...!"
After noticing the abnormality in his body, Lihuo Calrig's murderous intention exploded. The big demon in front of him was far more cunning than he imagined!
"Jie!"
After seeing the [Blood-Burning Curse] taking effect, the Great Demon Artorius seemed to smile.
At this moment, flying scythes and vampire bats danced all over the sky.
The domain's unique light shines on the sunless sky, illuminating the battlefield of the Black Muscle Clan below.
This place has long become a bloody Shura field.
There aren't many "soldiers" involved, just evenly matched "kings versus kings".
Like swooping birds, the vampire bats kept pecking and biting Mogroga Blackband and Lickfire Calrig, slowly but surely restoring Artorius' life.
With murderous intent boiling, Lickfire Calrig stepped forward through the air and wielded his double blades again. At this time in the past, the great demon Artorius would always passively endure it, and then use the devil's secret technique to resolve it.
This gave Lickfire Calrig the illusion that Artorius could not withstand melee attacks and was a standard demon caster!
Even Zong Shen from before thought so.
He firmly believed that Artorius, as a demon warlock, could not be a match for the Blackwater Sword Master in melee combat. This was contrary to common sense!
What's more, Artorius had already had one arm cut off, one leg blocked in the previous battle, and even the purple wings behind him were cut off by their roots.
That arm was a gift from [Dismemberment].
The thigh is the result of the [Black Water Secret: The Skull-Wrapping Ban]. The shorter of the three swords, the "Skull-Wrangling", the shortest decapitating goose-wing knife, is still inserted into Artorius's knee.
As for the wings behind him, they were the result of several subsequent slashes by Lickfire Calrig.
But now it seems that everything is not the same. Artorius used disguise to create the image of a weak demon sorcerer.
In addition, it is affected by the withering effect of the God's Punisher, and its limbs and body are always shriveled and thin, which makes the image it deliberately disguises become more realistic.
After Artorius completely exhausted its mental power and completed the activation of a series of skills, it chose to condense the [Artorius Blood-Burning Spear] to start the real hard mode!
Zong Shen understood after seeing Artorius holding the Blood-Burning War Spear and launching the [Blood-Burning Curse] against the Blackwater Sword Master!
"This Artorius is so scheming!"
"Hide it from me too."
"I should have thought of it earlier..."
"The exclusive blood-burning weapons it can condense are a war spear and a shield. This is a typical gun-shield combination. In a way, the blood-burning weapons that high-level demons can condense and its own weapon use The tendency is related!”
"In other words, the image of a 'demonic sorcerer with a weak constitution' that Artorius has shown since his arrival until now is simply a disguise!"
"In fact, Artorius is absolutely proficient in melee combat. I can even conclude that its melee combat strength is no less than its spellcasting skills in the [Devil Code]!"
Zong Shen suddenly realized that although he had a premonition in his heart that Artorius was not that simple, he did not expect that this guy was an actor. He was acting almost from beginning to end, including the damage he suffered and the opponents he chose. in this way!
Compared with the rough-skinned and thick-blooded Mogroga, Fire-licking Kalrig is more suitable for it.
Facing the Lickfire Calrig rushing towards it, this time the Great Demon Artorius used only one arm to dance the spear in his hand into the whistling wind.
The tip of the spear swept across, parrying the first wave of blows from Lunfire Calrig, and then he raised his spear and stabbed directly, but the opponent also avoided it.
Lihuo Calrig suddenly realized that the melee skills and reflexes of the big demon in front of him were not weak at all, and he understood something in his heart.
"hateful!"
"Where on earth did that damn human summon such a cunning demon?"
"He actually possesses the fighting skills of a demon sorcerer and a demon warrior!"
It roared in its heart and immediately changed its routine.
It leaned over and rushed towards Artorius's knee, where its saber "Groiling Head" was inserted.
The war spear in Artorius's hand turned into a thorn, and he struck at Lunfire Calrig. He seemed to be turning from defense to offense. He could see that the dark orc swordmaster in front of him wanted to take back his sword, but But he didn't know what he was going to do when he put the knife away, but no matter what, now was an excellent opportunity to take action.
The side of the war spear struck Lilfire Calrig's body, causing it less than 2,000 points of bludgeoning damage.
You must know that although Artorius's own bludgeoning damage is not high, the basic attack bonus attached to the blood-burning weapon is 999 points by default, so this spear directly hit its back.
I saw the body of Lihuo Calrig's swooping in the air, and it staggered suddenly, but it didn't care about counterattacks and parries, and reset the Nodachi "Black Kiri" with its backhand, and almost desperately pulled out the "Groken Skull" ".
With the decapitation of the Wild Goose Wing Blade: The Tortured Skull, Artorius's leg that was originally bound by the shackles was also released.
But this is not important to Lifeng Calrig. It already knows that the great demon Artorius is not weak in melee combat, and it will not hurt even if this leg is unsealed.
The [Blood Burning Curse] in the body is still boiling and surging.
The feeling of losing control of the blood was terrible.
Judging from the situation, Blackwater Swordmaster Lilfo Calrig seemed to have fallen into passivity in an instant.
But in fact, it also has means to effectively counter the current situation.
For example, now, after retrieving the saber, Lickfire Calrig has become much calmer, retreating one after another to avoid Artorius's spear attack.
Intuition told it that there were a lot of problems with the war spear in the hands of the great demon, especially the strange flame leaping in the tip of the spear, which made it involuntarily feel palpitating.
It still believes in its own fighting intuition. After all, its intuition has been tested by many years of fighting.
After retrieving the saber, Lickfire Carlrig retreated dozens of meters away. Ignoring the bites of the remaining blood-sucking bats and the cutting blows of the blood-killing scythes, he directly threw himself in three directions. of saber.
First is the two-meter-long sword "Kurokiri", followed by the 1.45-meter-long nodachi "Ugiri", and finally the "decapitating goose wing sword" that is only 80 centimeters long. Skull hanging".
The three sabers were thrown in different directions.
Although its power was not comparable to Mogroga's, it was no less powerful. The three sabers were thrown hundreds of meters away like meteors.
Then it stood in the air, with its feet in the void, and its hands clasped together on its chest.
[Three Blade Style·Orderly Splitting]
It resolutely activated this ace skill.
The body of Li Huo Calrig disappeared like a bubble. This caused Artorius's spear thrust to miss again. The three sabers thrown away by it in three directions also completed the transformation in an instant. .
A wriggling black shadow appeared outside each sword. These black shadows intertwined and expanded rapidly, turning into three Blackwater Sword Masters almost in the blink of an eye.
These three Blackwater Sword Masters have the same physical characteristics as Lickfire Calrig, but they wear different clothes.
The original Lihuo Calrige wore a set of black tights and relatively thin black leather armor on the outside. The all-black outfit made him look like a masked knife-wielding assassin who broke in late at night in movies and TV shows.
After splitting into three sword-style incarnations, each incarnation incorporates a part of the characteristics of the corresponding sword.
The incarnation of the royal sword "Black Kiri" wears gray sleeveless leather armor and an orc skull mask. His eyes reveal domineering and killing intent, like a swordsman looking down on the world. Its weapons have become two of the same style. The big sword, but I don't know yet whether its power can be comparable to the original "Black Cut".
The incarnation of Nodachi "Ugiri" is wearing a blue training suit, with a hemp rope-style tie around his waist, holding the same style of Nodachi in both hands, and carrying a huge magic scroll behind his back. I don't know. There is something mysterious in it. Its image reminds Zong Shen of Japanese ninjas. The masked face looks particularly gloomy, and the emotions revealed in the eyes also represent evil and hatred.
The incarnation of the beheading wild goose-winged sword "Gangshou" is more heroic. It is a figure of a wealthy man with a naked upper body and a jacket tied around the waist. The black muscles are very lean. It is carrying the knife behind its back. Yan Chi Dao, his eyes are full of fearlessness!
