Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 11 How did he do it?
Even though it was the first boss of the first dungeon...but because the name was so hard to remember, Aiwass had long forgotten it.

In order not to waste his teammates' time, Aiwass has always skipped all the cutscene CGs in this four-player book.

He had no idea what Admar looked like outside of getting into a fight.Just remember him as a hunchbacked giant with purple cobwebs all over his skin.

They called Ademar Xiaozi at the time.

Because this is the first enemy that goes beyond the path.In the early days, players rarely saw other bosses and NPCs with purple light effects, so they named it so intuitively.

The reason why it is called Xiao Zi is because there is a "Da Zi" behind this dungeon.In another dungeon, there are enemies called "Lao Zi" and "Zi Mei".After the 1.2 version started, after the number of enemies beyond the path increased, they stopped calling it that way.

Along with the recovery of the memory, there is also the extremely simple mechanism of the "evil bartender"——

I saw Admar holding the counter with both hands, his arms became swollen at a speed visible to the naked eye, directly bursting his sleeves.

He slapped his right hand suddenly, extremely fast, as if wrapped in a gust of wind.

"[Firm Demeanor]."

And Aiwass commanded in advance as if predicting before he waved his palm.

The moment I heard the order.

Haina's body moved spontaneously before her brain acted.The light wheel at the bottom of her pupils turned suddenly, she turned the sword body sideways, and put her left hand against the front half of the sword body.The center of gravity of the body sinks, and the right leg kicks the ground.In the blink of an eye, he made a posture against the impact.

--choke!

It was obviously the contact between the palm and the rapier, but there was the sound of a giant hammer hitting the iron felt.

The blade of the sword, blessed by the law tactics of the way of authority, blocked this blow firmly!
Haina could clearly feel a huge force rushing along the blade.

If she hadn't reflexively obeyed Aiwass's command and used "Firm Demeanor", she would probably fly upside down and hit Aiwass in the wheelchair behind her!

But at this moment, her body is like a poured foundation, completely introducing this power into the earth!
After one blow, she instinctively aimed at the opponent's attack and launched a sharp counterattack!
With a backhand sword, he slashed along the underside of the rebounded right arm, tearing it all the way to the left shoulder.

Blood spurted out, and the evil bartender staggered back in pain, and slammed into the wine cabinet behind him.

A wine bottle fell due to the collision, and made a crisp cracking sound when it hit the ground.

She kept in mind the instructor's teaching of "don't advance rashly", and instinctively wanted to restore the original standard posture.

However, Aiwass issued the order just right.

"[Giant Slam]."

--Is it really possible?

A thought of hesitation flashed through her mind.

The giant slam needs to be charged, and it cannot move or parry before the slash; after the slash, it cannot change its moves, and it is easy to be dodged and counterattacked by dexterous enemies.

According to the instructor's teaching, this move should be used when it is confirmed that the opponent is unable to counterattack or dodge, forcing the opponent to choose defense—and then smashing the opponent's defense.

After gaining an advantage in the first confrontation, you should use [Blade Polishing] to temporarily increase the sharpness of the blade, or use [Screaming] to take advantage of the opponent's defeat to intimidate and make the opponent further weak .To control the distance between the other party and yourself, it should not be too close or too far away.Keep the opponent always within the range of influence of [Charging Slash], and at the same time ensure that there is enough space behind him, leaving room for himself to retreat, dodge, and parry.

...Oh, no, Mr. Aiwass seems to be behind him.So should I move aside first?

But in that case, wouldn't he be exposed...

When her brain was thinking rapidly and complexly, the moment Haina was distracted, her body, which had undergone a lot of training, was already moving by itself.

After receiving Aiwass' order, she took a deep breath, changed the dagger to hold it with both hands, and her back was slightly bent like a cat before hunting.

After about half a second of charging, her body shot out.

A sharp and cold white light flashed in the air like an arc moon, and the bar in front of the wild elf bartender was cut off by her.

The huge impact made the bartender's body freeze instantly.

Even the bartender subconsciously parried, and the left arm blocking his face was also cut off!
His forearm bones have sharp fractures.The purple, severely edema-like left hand fell to the ground, and the bartender let out a scream, and the purple lines on his body quickly faded back along the original path.

The cry was so shrill that Haina was startled.

And his posture of leaving the fighting state made Haina wonder whether he should continue to fight with the opponent.

At this moment, Aiwass' serious voice came again.

"Haina, get out of the way."

She made a wrong step and lightly jumped half a step to the side.

— Only the sound of gunfire was heard.

The bartender's left eye was pierced by a bullet, and blood spurted out from the back of his head.Blood bloomed like a flower on the wine cabinet behind him.

His body slid down slowly and feebly, trailing a deep red bloodstain.

She didn't even see where Aiwass hid the gun.He was still sitting in the wheelchair, quietly and motionless.A faint white smoke was still emitting from his black cloak, and the corners of his mouth under the cloak were slightly raised.

From Aiwass' perspective, tiny white light spots gradually emerged from the corpse and poured into his body.

[Kill the second-level transcendent, gain 14 free experience]

Aiwass smiled happily.

Let me grab the head, thank you.

Although the experience of directly killing monsters in "The Ring of Obitotail" is quite small, the leveling mainly depends on tasks, crafts, buying books and reading, and the reward experience of daily dungeons... But mosquito legs are also meat.

Not to mention, he is now low level.The benefits of eating free experience to pull levels are still quite high.

These 14 points of free experience, plus the 24 points given by the demon scholar who killed him before, are evenly divided into the three skills of the demon scholar, and can be upgraded to four levels.

He can also allocate a little experience to the priest profession, and point it to the second level to open the way.Then upgrade the Demon Scholar to three levels, which is the plan with the greatest short-term benefits.

Or you can stay for a while until he learns other skills in the path of dedication - such as "Sacrificial Fire", "Illumination", and "Blessing", which are easier to use than "Prayer", but difficult to upgrade , and then point up the experience.The lowest level of these experiences can also directly pull the priest level to level five.This is the most cost-effective upgrade method in the long run.

After all, "Demonology" can steadily increase his level by reading the mysterious books of demonology; "Basic Prayer" can get a stable improvement by praying at least twice a day for 3 minutes each time; You can slowly get strength replenishment from Shadow Demon.

Only the "basic ritual" is a bit of a hassle.The main trouble lies in the word "basic".

Its level is too low, and the ritual level of Aiwass' previous production of "Shadow Blade" is too high, it can't even get experience.Aiwass really can't remember this kind of low-level ritual - the ritual that allows him to recite the formula, at least it must be the one he uses more often, or the formula that can be hanged out to slaughter pigs.

From this point of view, the Demon Scholar can upgrade without leaving it alone.However, it is much more difficult to improve the career of a pastor, and basically it can only be done slowly.

If the priest can be promoted to the second level as soon as possible, it can prove that he is a "people who are willing to give".

If not, how could he walk so smoothly on the path of dedication?

Is your level of dedication higher than mine?Not as tall as me, why do you say that I am not a good person?

That is an invincible life-saving card!He can also be a key student as a matter of course, and get the resources of the seminary... In this way, he is not a "bad student who took three months off at the beginning of school", but a "weak and sick but pious and kind genius".

But in this case, these 38 points of experience are a bit less...

Aiwass had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but he just thought of a new bad idea for a moment.

Haina looked at the corpse, feeling a little dazed.Obviously, she is not like what she said, because she "killed someone before", so she can kill people calmly.

Before she could react, she asked why Aiwass suddenly wanted to kill the man.

Aiwass complained about the villain first, and asked in advance: "Why didn't you beheaded just now? He can't stop it."

"……what?"

Haina's mind froze for a moment, and then she explained in a low voice: "Because he is much weaker than me. I saw that he had lost his ability to resist, and thought he should be able to be captured alive..."

Indeed.This person's combat instincts are indeed quite accurate.

Aiwass secretly agreed with Haina's statement.

If that was the end of the matter and they walked away with the wicked bartender captured, the case would have been closed.

However, Aiwass can't really let the Inspectorate torture him-what if he confessed me?
Although the Moriarty family had some influence, he couldn't say whether his adopted son would be convicted if there was clear evidence.

So Aiwass changed the previous topic and said sternly: "Then have you noticed? When he saw you showing the way, his first reaction was to resist and even attack you.

"What does this mean? It means that he has no intention of pleading guilty!"

——Nonsense, a vicious gangster who has a life and a murder weapon in his hands, and is about to be sentenced to death when he is caught, suddenly encounters a note that he found alone, how could he just order it?Even if you don't fight back, at least try to escape.

Aiwass complained in his heart.

But there was no wavering on his face.

He just said word by word: "You can know that he is much weaker than you as soon as you get started, or even if you don't get started, so wouldn't he know it? Since he knows it, he still actively resonates with the Dao and attacks you—— What does it represent?"

It means that he knows he can't outrun you, and he can only fight for his life in despair.

Aiwass said in his heart.

"……represents what?"

Hana hesitated.

She felt that her mind was blank - if she saw this kind of question on the paper, she thought she could give a perfect answer after thinking carefully.But now that fresh corpse was exuding the smell of blood, she felt a little confused.

"You think," Aiwass suddenly changed the subject, "At the beginning, he said that the food here is very expensive, and he just wanted to persuade us to leave. This shows that he doesn't want to confront the Supervision Bureau..."

"Yes, I know."

"But then, I just let you draw your sword, and didn't even let you do it—in this case, he took the initiative to attack you instead of running away or making excuses. Why did he dare to do this?"

"...So, he should have a very expensive ability to use, so he can't use it normally...but at the same time it is very powerful?"

Haina tentatively replied.

Aiwass nodded in relief: "Exactly."

Don't tell me, it's true.

This reasoning is not wrong.This is also one of the reasons why the evil bartender chooses to go all out, because he is indeed not without a chance of winning.

The job of the evil bartender is a "devil" who transcends the path. When he enters a seriously injured state, he can recover half of his maximum life in one go, and then enter a demonized state that quickly deducts blood and strengthens all attributes.

It's just that your damage is too high, and you can skip the stage with two cuts.

Use correct intelligence and wrong thinking direction to deduce an equally correct answer.No one could realize that there was something wrong here - even after she took the body back, she would only get the result of "Aiwass' judgment was correct".

"...So that's how it is!"

Haina was convinced: "Thank you, Aiwass! You saved me!"

Aiwass nodded steadily: "So when facing the vicious gangster, you must not hesitate. You want to keep alive, but the other party doesn't think so."

You see, she still has to thank us.

"Then what are we going to do now," she was now used to asking Aiwass and obeying his orders, "shall we pack the body and take it back?"

"Not urgent."

Aiwass pulled his cloak and said calmly: "It's not his turn to be the mastermind behind this matter.

"The real prisoner is in the basement of this bar. She's been listening here for a long time.

"There's no need to confront her head-on - pour the spirits in through the crack of the door, and set the place on fire."

"...Will it be a little too bad? What if she comes out?"

"Then let you deal with her."

After repeatedly verifying the correctness of Aiwass, Haina finally no longer had the subconscious idea of ​​raising the bar in her heart this time.

She just looked at the basement expectantly, clenched the dagger out of its sheath, eager to try.

"...What a surprise."

Sure enough, a woman's voice sounded from the direction Haina was looking at.

She slowly opened the basement door.

It was a bald woman with a strong physique and pale skin like a corpse in a bright red robe.She was at least 1.7 meters tall, her left arm was full of muscles when she opened the door, her chest was high and protruding, and her pupils were faintly shining with purple light.

Haina clenched the dagger in her hand, her center of gravity sank and she was about to charge forward.

But then she suddenly shrank her pupils and stopped in place.

I saw a few purple runes appearing on the woman's right arm, as if holding a ball with five fingers.

An erratic spirit like a wronged soul wrapped around her fingertips, and a slightly bluish light gray mist gathered.Form into an irregular ball about the size of a baby's head.The cold energy visible to the naked eye fluctuated like a heartbeat, causing the deep cold gray wind that was almost visible to the naked eye to roll towards them wave after wave along the floor.

Haina didn't recognize the spell.But she did feel threatened clearly.

And the woman also held the magic ball that had been stored for a long time, and did not launch an attack.

this is correct.

If she threw the magic ball over, Haina might be able to dodge it at this distance; if she used it to attack Aiwass, then she would definitely not be able to catch Haina's charge.

But Haina didn't dare to rush over.Because she didn't know what the specific effect of this spell was.

If you eat this magic ball at close range, it may lead to a direct defeat.

So she stood faintly in front of Aiwass, but she did not block Aiwass's shooting trajectory.The three fell into a brief stalemate.

"...how did you know I was in the basement?"

The bald woman stared at Aiwass blankly, and asked, "Where did I reveal the evidence?

"……how did you do it?"

"It's experience."

Aiwass simply replied.Because this dungeon has more than one boss.

——Sure enough, another reasoning!

How the hell did he figure it out? !

Haina on the side felt refreshed and disturbed by this.

　Today is another [-]-word update!
