Dick The muscles in his waist and abdomen suddenly tightened, and the blue brick floor burst out with a few shallow cracks under the twist of his shoe heels. The cold light that passed close to his neck carved a three-inch deep groove in the wall.
The long sword in his hand squeaked slightly, and the sword spine climbed up to the white sharp Sword Qi.
At this moment, he knew in his heart that only by defeating Ruiwen could he figure out why she did such a thing. As for what would happen after defeat, he could only take it one step at a time.
Ruiwen is suspended in the air two feet above the ground, the shadow cast by the white wings covering half of his pale face.
Dick turned around and swiveled hard, letting out a shrill howl of the long sword and swinging it out like lightning.
The arc of the sword cut through the heavy air, but failed the moment it touched her back - the pair of white wings only trembled slightly, Ruiwen moved half a foot like a puppet pulled by silk threads, and the lightsaber reflected Dick's shrinking pupils as it swept across.
"Clang!"
The sparks from the collision between the two swords had not yet dissipated. Dick's left hand quickly formed a seal, and a cone-shaped Mind Shockwave with vigorous momentum instantly hit Ruiwen's face.
Logically speaking, no one could react in time at such a close distance.
However, Ruiwen put her hand in front of her face like a freehand gesture, and a dark gold ethereal hand appeared out of thin air, firmly covering her head and most of her body.
Mind Shockwave hit the big hand of nothingness, and a dull scream sounded in the air.
At the same time, the dark void hand and Mind Shockwave turned into flying flakes of light.
Dick pushed the long sword forward with force. With the counter-thrust force of the sword fight with Ruiwen, his calf shrank slightly, and then jumped back violently.
His feet firmly stepped on the wall behind him. The stone wall peeled off where he stepped, and his calves compressed and accumulated strength like springs again.
Taking advantage of this moment of energy accumulation, he quickly drew out the silver sword from his back with his left hand.
His body was parallel to the ground, his swords were crossed, and he assumed a unique attack posture - [Panther Zither Jade] launched again.
With the powerful rebound power brought by the new talent [Extreme Leap], the speed of Embracing Zither Jade performed by Dick this time is at least 20% faster than before.
He was like a bullet that was released from the barrel, spinning rapidly in the air, with the tip of the sword as the head, spinning into a deadly bullet, and shooting straight away.
Ruiwen's wings trembled rapidly as she retreated, and the chaos caused by Sword Qi took turns tearing her white skirt into messy dove feathers.
While Dick was galloping at low altitude, with the blessing of Master-Level Swordsmanship, his body shape kept twisting with the movement of Ruiwen, and the tip of the sword was always firmly locked on Ruiwen.
Ruiwen retreated again and again until his back was only two or three meters away from the wall, then he stopped avoiding and started waving the lightsaber in his hand, engaging in fierce exchanges with the high-speed rotating swords.
"Ping ping ping pong", Sword Qi criss-crossed, sparks flying, shining continuously in this empty basement, and you can vaguely smell the scorching heat of smelting steel.
After a few breaths, Dick staggered half a step when he landed on the ground. The smell of blood in his throat made his vision slightly blurred.
Opposite him, Ruiwen was leaning against the wall and sliding down. There were several wounds of varying depths on his body, and blood slowly seeped down along his fair skin, making his clothes red and messy.
As for her left hand holding the sword, four of the slender and white fingers that used to be there were exposed to the white bones. Blood was dripping continuously, forming a pool of six-winged patterns on the ground. The sound of ticking echoed in the silent basement.
Dick gasped for air. Although he had the advanced Self-Healing Ability, the two of them had only been fighting for half a minute, but he had already consumed a lot of energy and mana outside the venue with Kaer Morhen. This could not be quickly compensated by the advanced Self-Healing Ability.
But he was convinced that with his current strength, he would be the one standing in the basement in the end.
Seeing Ruiwen's miserable appearance, the long sword in Dick's hand trembled for no reason.
He took a few long breaths and tried to calm down his emotions. His Adam's apple moved and he spoke hoarsely, "Ruiwen, stop."
"Stop? How could you stop?" Ruiwen lowered his head and stared at the pool of blood, and his broken call became ethereal:
"My lord Gabriel, your faithful messenger requests, please grant me strength!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a milky white halo enveloped her whole body, and these particles rushed into Ruiwen's seriously injured body.
The halo faded, and all the wounds on Ruiwen's body disappeared. Lava-like lines flowed under the new white skin, and the pupils turned into two burning White Heat lamp beads.
Dick raised their swords to fight again, and the figures of the two fighting were projected into angry beasts entangled on the wall.
Not long after, the energy stone on the wall was hit by Sword Qi, bursting out with a dazzling light and then turned into powder;
The wall lamp higher up was crumbling, and was finally cut off by the light of the sword, falling to the ground and shattering into pieces of glass;
The weapon racks placed around were also not spared. They were smashed into pieces by the two people's Sword Qi, and various weapons were scattered on the ground.
But the strange thing is that both of them had a tacit understanding and intentionally or unintentionally avoided the corpses of the demon hunters and the old magician Aode in the corner.
Dick didn't want the corpses of his former compatriots to be damaged at all, but Ruiwen could never figure out what he was thinking.
I don't know how long it took, but Dick felt that his eyes were going black and his body was so weak that he might collapse at any time.
Even if he possesses the advanced Self-Healing Ability, his extreme lack of energy and complete lack of mana make him unable to use Signs, nor can he concentrate on using Swordsmanship skills.
At this moment, when I swing the long sword again, it feels extremely heavy.
He was getting more and more tired, his legs felt like lead, and he wanted to close his eyes immediately and sleep forever.
On the other hand, Ruiwen, as long as the number of wounds on her body reaches a certain number, a white halo will automatically cover her whole body, and then the wounds will quickly recover as before.
She transforms into a tireless fighting machine, never stopping to attack.
Dick At this moment, despair surged in his heart:
Did he come to this world and die here in such an unexplained way?
In fact, he is not afraid of death. He always feels that a simple death is sometimes much happier than a meaningless life.
But he always wanted to know a reason before he died, a reason that would make him willing to die.
Seeing Ruiwen slashing with another sword, Dick clearly realized that his movements had become extremely slow and it was too late to block with his sword.
Just when he was thinking about which part of his body to use to block this fatal blow to reduce the damage, he discovered that Ruiwen's sword speed suddenly slowed down a lot.
When the blade of the sword fell in front of Dick's sticky hair, blowing a few strands of hair off easily with a breeze, it suddenly stopped.
Dick slowly raised his head and looked up, only to see that the white light in Ruiwen's eyes had slowly dissipated, and only a trace remained in his eyes.
She was looking at Dick with a complicated face, seeming to be struggling, guilty, and other unspeakable hidden emotions.
Dick also remained motionless, and tentatively spoke in anticipation, "Ruiwen, you..."
"Dick, I am sober." Ruiwen said as if dreaming.
The lightsaber in her hand was slowly lowered again.
As soon as she withdrew her lightsaber, golden lines instantly appeared on Ruiwen's face. She was extremely serious and her eyes were cold:
"My messenger, do you want to unilaterally break the contract?" The voice was cold and unfamiliar.
Ruiwen's expression changed again. Her expression was painful, her teeth were clenched, and a lot of cold sweat oozed out unconsciously on her neck. The golden lines on her face were hidden under her delicate skin, and her body couldn't stop swaying, and finally she half-knelt on the ground.
She raised her head again, looked at Dick, and spoke slowly, but what she said did not sound like she was speaking to the demon hunter in front of her:
"My lord Gabriel, I don't want to disobey you, but now that the grudge is over, can you let the demon hunter in front of you go?"
