Chapter 578: Innovation in Fighting Methods
At this time, Blaney was in a highly tense and delicate combat situation.
The subtle sound of the shadow priest stepping on the leaves made Bryony make a bold decision without hesitation. She chose to use the ultimate move contained in a staff again - Hurricane.
This decision was not made hastily. Faced with the uncertainty of the battle, she adhered to the principle of taking a credible chance. After all, in this dangerous jungle battlefield, any negligence could lead to fatal consequences.
So, she released a hurricane spell as powerful as a tidal wave in the direction where the shadow priest disappeared.
Once the hurricane technique was used, the power it displayed was astonishing. A huge, strong airflow formed a wall of wind that pushed forward, with great destructive power.
The wind swept towards the target direction with Blaney as the center. The whistling sound was like a thousand troops galloping past, and wherever it passed, the trees were blown to the ground, and the leaves and branches were swept into the air.
Just as this powerful hurricane was raging, a black shadow was sucked into it. With a groaning sound, he was swept high into the sky like a fragile leaf.
When Blainey saw this, she quickly sprinted about ten meters like an agile rabbit. Her speed was so fast that it seemed as if there was a wind under her feet.
At the moment she caught up with the hurricane, the elemental wings behind her suddenly unfolded. This elemental wings is a special ability that Bryony has mastered after practicing magic to a certain level. It is like a wing condensed from pure wind elements, with a faint blue light. Bryony took advantage of the wind and flew lightly into the air.
The dark priest in the air at this time was not so relaxed. He was dizzy from the huge wind and completely lost his balance, like a boat without a helmsman on a rough sea.
He tried desperately to control his body, but the hurricane was too powerful and his magic seemed weak in the face of such a powerful natural force.
His heart was filled with panic, because he knew very well that although the hurricane's wind was huge, it would not last long. Once the wind disappeared, he would fall heavily like a falling meteor. At this height, he would most likely die instantly.
Just as he was struggling in the strong wind, he vaguely saw a black shadow rising rapidly in a spiral gliding manner.
His first reaction was that it was an illusion caused by dizziness, and at this time his eyes were almost unable to open due to the strong wind, so he could only squint and look around.
While he was still wondering, he suddenly felt a faint fluctuation of magic power.
However, before he could react, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in the back of his heart.
A powerful impact came from behind, and he immediately vomited blood. He lost control of his limbs instantly, and his consciousness began to become blurred.
All I heard was Blainey's confident and sarcastic voice:
"Haha, do you have room to develop in my field? Go to hell."
It turned out that Blayney took advantage of the fact that the shadow priest was unable to fight back in the air, approached him using the flying technique, and then stabbed him accurately in the back with a dagger.
This dagger is no ordinary dagger. It is blessed with special magic power and can easily penetrate the enemy's magic defense.
After succeeding, Bryony immediately spread her elemental wings and quickly flew away. When she left, she did not forget to kick the seriously injured shadow priest fiercely. This kick was not only a retaliatory action, but also to completely deprive the shadow priest of the possibility of adjusting his posture in the air.
At this moment, the howling hurricane gradually stopped. Without the support of the wind, the dark priest's body fell out of control like a kite with a broken string, falling towards the ground, leaving only a gradually fading black shadow.
Blayney glided high in the sky, diverting the attention of the Shadow Priest, and replaced it with the long-range shooting staff seized from the Zaun Empire's War Eagle Magician, suppressing the Shadow Priest from a long distance and creating an opportunity for the leader to fight.
All of this was calculated, and the four shadow priests focused their attention on the magician in the air, because they were passive when such a master appeared at this moment. Judging from the height, they had no way to deal with them.
The leader witnessed Blaney's fighting style and was very satisfied. The shadow priest was sent into the air for execution, thus achieving the victory of the weak over the strong.
But this kind of battle is very hard and not convenient enough.
None of the dead died from direct damage from wind magic. At this moment, even daggers were used. This was because wind magic was not very powerful, so almost all of them used various crooked tricks to kill the enemies.
Blayney circled in the air and attracted a large number of dark priest assassins. Some of them took out their powerful bows and were eager to try. However, this kind of upward shooting would be useless once it got close to the target.
At this time, a shadow priest said: "Retreat! We will not gain any advantage in this kind of battle! These troublesome flying creatures in the sky, although their attacks are harmless to us, always distract me..."
"Well! Retreat. The master of Vita is not easy to deal with. No wonder he is so tough. It turns out he has some skills. He doesn't have the upper hand in jungle fighting. Let's have a fair fight to decide the winner!"
There are still dozens of people retreating in an orderly manner. The leader shrugged his shoulders in the dark. There is no advantage in chasing them. If you are not careful, you will be killed. Don't chase the desperate enemy! Hurry up and get on the road.
Bryney had been hovering in the sky, following the retreating shadow priest for three miles before returning to the team. This battle ended in a small victory...
The main reason is that Senior Doomsday Fireball has no way to deal with Shadow Priests. His skills are always so short-lived, and he is now defending himself. The fire system has the greatest power, but it is not outstanding in other areas. It is suitable for firepower coverage, but not suitable for dealing with top masters...
Even though Doomsday Fireball continued to improve his casting speed and accuracy when he was young, he was still unable to overcome the shortcomings of the Fire Element in other areas.
After confirming safety, the leader joined the Doomsday Fireball seniors and said, "Leader, I am a little upset that our joint killing spree today did not succeed."
"Let's go, senior. You and I are both well aware of the violent and powerful nature of the fire element, so there is no need to mention it again! In any case, we have successfully killed that arrogant cardinal this time, so this trip was not in vain!
I was also injured accidentally, causing some internal bleeding, but it's not serious and will recover after a period of recuperation. Looking back, the situation at that time was really close to death and my life was hanging by a thread! If the opponent was a little stronger, I'm afraid I would sleep here forever..."
As the leader spoke, he frowned slightly, as if he was still fresh in his memory of the thrilling battle just now.
Doomsday Fireball quickly responded: "Leader, please don't say that. It's all because of my incompetence. I failed to exert my full strength today, which led to the leader being in such danger. I deserve to die!" The old man's face was full of guilt, and there was a hint of self-blame and regret in his voice.
The two supported each other and slowly walked out of the dangerous jungle. Their steps were a little unsteady, and it was obvious that they had not fully recovered after the fierce battle.
When passing by the mess created by Blaney's top-grade magic wand, the two couldn't help but stop and look at the shocking scene in front of them, still feeling scared.
Although Blaney was somewhat opportunistic in this battle, fortunately he still caused some trouble to the enemy in the end.
Thinking of this, the two smiled at each other, and their tense nerves finally relaxed a little.
As they walked further away, the jungle, which was originally filled with a tense atmosphere, gradually returned to its former silence.
The breeze gently blows through the leaves, making a rustling sound, as if whispering the story that just happened here.
