Chapter 37 The Battle of the Long Street of the Whispering Moon (9)
"Could she be a magician and a martial artist?" Seeing that Adela could skillfully use magic during the battle with him, Sword Master Oswald took a deep breath and turned his gaze to the person standing aside.
Ryan felt a little wary about working with an ordinary-looking young man, and then Oswald immediately turned his eyes back to Adela, thinking about it...

According to legend, there are not many powerful warriors who can use martial arts and magic to fight at the same time. Except for a few races such as the dragon race, whose lifespan is so long that they must sleep to kill time, members of other races are limited by their own life span and must inevitably
You can only choose to specialize in one combat method, so there are so-called warriors, thieves, mages, priests... these are all different professions with their own characteristics.
Human talents are inferior to those of elves, dwarves, etc., but because of their own mediocrity, or balance, they have gained another ability, which is to improve their strength in disguised form through part-time jobs, such as dual cultivation mages and minor thieves
Warriors, etc. This kind of part-time job often only uses secondary jobs to strengthen one's main job, or enhance advantages, or make up for shortcomings. However, there has never been an Adela that pays equal attention to magic and martial arts, and her spellcasting is not affected by close combat at all.
"Double cultivation of magic and martial arts".
Adela waved the weapon in her hand and rushed towards Oswald again. Due to the large amount of auxiliary magic blessed with it, Adela's movements were obviously much faster than before, and she could barely do it.
It has kept up with Oswald's speed. But it is naturally far behind the sword master. After all, Oswald has been immersed in martial arts for far longer than Adela's age. This is brought about by time.
The gap cannot be made up by a good magic equipment or a few auxiliary spells.
Seeing Adela rushing toward him with flaws all over her body, Oswald shook his head inwardly. He admitted that Adela's "double cultivation of magic and martial arts" was very useful, but Adela's own strength was really too poor.
Now, if it were the Allendo he met in Iron Fist Castle, I'm afraid Oswald wouldn't even have the ability to fight back now, and even if an opponent like Adela has a lot of magic blessings and excellent quality
The protection of magic equipment still cannot get rid of the situation of being passively beaten.
Oswald was determined to win the battle quickly. He knew that the defensive power of Adela's armor was amazing, so he simply abandoned the sword and instead used fists to attack. This was no different from using blunt instruments such as hammers to hit enemies wearing heavy armor.
It's a truth, but even if the sword master is empty-handed, his attack power is extremely powerful.
With no joy, no sorrow, no desire, no desire, Sword Master Oswald felt empty in his heart. He looked at Adela who was rushing towards him casually, his body did not dodge at all, and he treated his opponent as if he was nothing.
When Adela came close to her and was just a hair away from splitting him into two pieces, Oswald's body suddenly twisted.
Come, very strangely, he let go of Adela's two-handed giant sword, then raised his right fist, and struck Adela's left rib as fast as lightning. Oswald used all his strength on this punch,
The punched fist made a rapid whistling sound and faintly emitted a white light, which was the most obvious manifestation of the leakage of fighting spirit.
"Poof!" Oswald's powerful attack accurately hit Adela's left rib, but there was no sound of bones breaking as he expected. Instead, there was a dull sound.
, the punch that was enough to break Adela's bones and muscles seemed to be blocked by something, causing almost no harm to Adela.
"Huh?" Oswald was slightly startled. He had fought hundreds of battles in his life, but it was rare to see someone not dodge or resist, but use some strange method to absorb the power from his fist. I think this is probably the case.
It was the effect of some kind of magic. Thinking of this, Oswald suddenly shouted loudly. Before Adela could change her figure, he waved his hands alternately and launched continuous attacks on Adela's vitals.
In Oswald's view, even if there is any powerful magic that can absorb the attacks launched by him, there is always a limit to magic, and it cannot be infinite. As long as he uses the most violent attack to continuously hit the same position of the enemy, it will be enough.
It can finally break the enemy's defense and really damage the enemy's body.
"Puff! Puff!" Within 1 second, Oswald hit Adela with seven consecutive punches, but they were completely blocked by the opponent's magic. Oswald was not discouraged and directly punched Adela.
He punched Adela for the eighth time, but when the punch hit the target, there was a sudden pain in his fist, followed by a burning feeling that instantly spread from the hand where he hit Adela, down his arm and towards his body.
spread over.
Oswald's punch speed was really too fast. Although he had realized something was wrong, he still stopped attacking after hitting Adela for the twelfth time. It was at this time that he realized that he had two
With burning pain in his arm, he flew up and kicked Adela, and took advantage of the situation to retreat back.
Adela did not pursue, but just stood there and bit Oswald's kick, and then Oswald let out a heavy "hum" in his mouth. This sound contained a bit of pain, and it was obvious that in the end
This kick caused a small loss to Adela's body.
After Oswald opened the distance between him and Adela at high speed, he had time to check his arms. Only then did he realize that his arms that could directly grab burning charcoal were covered with cloth.
It was covered with large traces of flame burns, and the foot where he finally kicked Adela was even covered with blisters, which looked very scary.
"What kind of magic is this? The Flame Shield doesn't seem to be that powerful, right?" Oswald frowned involuntarily. He could naturally endure this level of pain, but Adela had this
Doesn't magic protection make it impossible for him to do anything?
Adela ignored Oswald's question. She had no obligation to explain to the swordsman of Moon Moon City that the flame shield just now was borrowed from Ryan's hellfire from the fire elemental plane. Its lethality
Naturally, it is much more amazing than ordinary flames. Now Adela's armor has been covered with thick soil, which makes her who is born to love beauty
I feel very uncomfortable, but the magical effect of this "body-protecting stone skin" is very amazing. It can actually absorb most of the power of Oswald's unarmed attack, and the burning flame shield on the outside
It will counterattack every personal attack of the enemy. The parts of Oswald's body burned by the flames are all the masterpieces of this magic.
"No wonder everyone wants to be a magician. It turns out that the feeling of being protected by layers of magic is really pleasant." Adela muttered a few words in a low voice. She was almost invincible now.
Naturally, she was in a good mood, but Oswald, opposite her, was standing there with a sullen face, thinking hard, hoping to come up with a way to deal with Adela without hurting himself.
"I didn't expect that you could actually be evenly matched with me with the help of magic! But unfortunately, your speed still can't catch up with me. As long as I still have physical strength, you will always be in a passive situation." Oswald's words
In his mind, he had upgraded the opponent he had previously dismissed to an equal level, but he still retained his pride as a sword master: "I would like to see whether it is your magic that lasts longer, or my decades of hard work.
The martial arts you practice so hard will last a long time!"
Before Oswald finished speaking, his whole figure started to move again. This time he no longer forcibly attacked Adela, but instead wandered around and started a guerrilla war with Adela.
Oswald's speed, Adela can barely keep up even with a lot of auxiliary magic, which naturally makes Adela passive in the battle. As long as Oswald is willing, he can even do it at any time
Without fighting, Adela could do nothing to him.
Adela didn't seem to care about the techniques used by Oswald at all. She still raised the sharp weapon in her hand and pursued the sword master persistently, but there was a difference in speed between her and Oswald.
There was still some distance, and as long as Oswald didn't deliberately slow down, Adela would never be able to catch up with him.
Although it was a life-and-death battle, the scene was extremely funny because one was chasing after another. Ryan stood aside and stared at Adela's tall figure with a smile on his face. This reminded him of his past.
The female knight Christina who fought together in the imperial capital. During the battle at the royal auditorium that day, the female knight Christina was wielding this
Holding the weapon, Ryan and the others fought against the orc swordmaster Andreas. Although they were at a critical moment of life and death, perhaps it was for this reason that the image of Christina was deeply reflected in Ryan's heart. It was a pity that that
The strong female knight was severely punished for shielding Catherine, and may never see her again in this life.
Oswald and Adela fought for a long time, and they achieved the purpose of delaying time. However, as time passed, Oswald suddenly discovered that there were some variables in the battle. Adela's body was always burning.
The fire is the "Fire Shield" magic that can counterattack attacks. However, as Adela pursues Oswald, she is surrounded by
The flames on the body also slowly spread to the feet. Every time Adela took a step, it would leave a burning footprint on the ground. After a period of pursuit, the place where the two of them fought was almost covered with such
Burning footprints, and Adela trampled them many times in many places, so that these burning footprints slowly became one.
Oswald didn't know whether these flaming footprints were caused by Adela not being proficient in controlling the magic on her body, or whether it was another magic released by Adela. Naturally, he couldn't try it easily. He could only
The most conservative approach was to try to avoid the burning flames on the ground, which also made his actions increasingly restricted.
