This spell, which consumed 10 points of Spiritual Energy from Lin Rui, still dealt pitiful damage. It had almost no effect on Luoshi, who easily broke through the water’s confinement and shattered the azure hand.
The next moment, a Magic Staff slammed heavily onto Luoshi’s head.
Who said mages can’t engage in close combat?
How about checking out the method of beating fish with a stick?
Did you really think those 27 points of Physique were just for fun?
Even without melee skills, Lin Rui could effortlessly defeat most Explorers single-handedly with closed eyes, relying solely on speed and strength.
Luoshi’s fierce eyes even turned to glance at Lin Rui for a moment, clearly, the damage exceeding 0.5% attracted his attention. After killing Roger, he planned to turn and kill Lin Rui, his second target.
"Roger, Luoshi is closing in on you, turn around and attack!" Lin Rui shouted loudly.
Roger immediately jumped into the air, performing a Thomas Spin and executed a Reversal Spear, with the axe spear glinting with cold light as it smashed fiercely towards Luoshi.
[-145] The next moment, Roger was once again swept away by Luoshi’s ferocious claws
Even more dangerously, Luoshi finally used a skill, Evil Tentacles. The slimy, ugly tentacles pierced fiercely towards Roger, leaving a bloody hole on his body.
Having endured three consecutive damages, yet only receiving one healing from Lin Rui, Roger’s Life Value of 550 was now down to 225. If Luoshi used his skills again, he would undoubtedly die.
"Get up, keep running!"
But Lin Rui remained very calm, completely ignoring the terrifying risk of this life-and-death moment.
Roger was swept away more than ten meters, successfully widening the gap between himself and Luoshi a little, and after rolling on the ground, he almost without pause stood up and continued to run outside.
If he didn’t run, what else could he do? Wait for death on the ground?
Luoshi’s eyes showed a mocking smile, like a cat mocking before killing a mouse.
He quickly chased after.
Ten meters per second is the limit for ordinary humans, for everyone present, it was an easily surmountable distance. The Elite Knight Roger, with adrenaline support, could run more than thirty meters in a second. While Luoshi, with a Physique of 50 points, could run more than fifty meters in a second.
What does fifty meters per second mean?
If an ordinary human uses a rifle to resist such an Extraordinary, the moment the rifle’s sights were aligned, the target was still a black dot. Even an Olympic champion might not hit the target’s vital points, and the probability of ordinary infantry missing is extremely high. The next second the opponent would appear directly in front of the gun muzzle, taking the rifle and twisting it into a pretzel.
If the opponent dodges at full strength, the speed of the gun muzzle moving can’t even keep up with the opponent’s figure. A pistol, with an effective range of only a dozen meters, and hitting from thirty meters depends on faith, is utterly powerless against an Extraordinary. No wonder humans needed to enter the starry sky to have the qualification to encounter the "Era of Civilization".
And Roger had the [Evil Mark] on him, giving Luoshi a 10% speed boost while chasing him.
With Luoshi’s Movement Speed, having this boost meant that five meters of distance were essentially erased between them.
Five meters disappeared!
Even Instant Teleportation isn’t this terrifying.
Someone five meters away suddenly appears in front of you; the horror is as if you glanced to see them still in the doorway of the room, and the next second they had bypassed the foyer, living room, hallway, and suddenly stood beside your bedroom bed.
If his will wasn’t firm, Roger would’ve long been scared to death, afraid to face such a terrifying monster head-on.
Lusen and Duncan both looked at Roger with pale faces. If nothing unexpected happened, in at most two seconds he would be completely torn apart. But they were completely powerless to do anything about it! Even if they tried their best to chase, they couldn’t keep up with this terrifying hero.
In two seconds, a mere instant of a breath, Luoshi finally caught up with Roger.
A massive claw swung down from the air, and the Elite-level Knight was about to meet a violent end.
Lin Rui’s Tier One skill, Moon-breaking Blade finally cooled down, and the speed of the azure Ice Needle was faster than a bullet, instantly leaving a beautiful blue tail flame in the air, piercing into Roger’s waist.
[Evil Tentacles: -85]
[Ultimate Skill, Big Meal: -213!]
Luoshi opened his gaping mouth and swallowed Roger into his large and fat belly. The three layers of [Evil Mark] were cleared!
But after chewing for two or three seconds, Luoshi seemed to become nauseous and disgusted, and spat the knight he had swallowed back out.
Roger was spat out like a cannonball, flying dozens of meters, crashing heavily to the ground, and rolling several times, spewing out countless shattered flesh pieces and a copious amount of blood from his mouth. His Life Value was down to just a single digit of 3.
[Ding, your subordinate Elite-level Knight Roger’s Life Value has fallen below 10%, entering a weakened state. Attack -50%, Life Value Recovery Speed -100%.]
This knight isn’t cut out for it. Not only did he not go berserk on low health, but he also entered a weakened state!
Lin Rui glanced at him plainly, his expression still calm. The boss used a skill to clear the Evil Mark and once again created a gap of dozens of meters between the parties, enough for Lin Rui’s healing skill to cool down. So even if the Fishman continued to chase Roger, he would still be able to restore his health.
So he calmly commanded: "Get up, keep running! Duncan, continue to output with full force."
Taking advantage of Luoshi’s pause, Duncan finally caught up with him, striking his spine with a heavy hammer.
This time Luoshi didn’t pursue Roger who was dozens of meters away, instead, he looked at Lin Rui, hundreds of meters away, with a sinister intent.
The situation changed!
Luoshi clearly knew that his last strike should absolutely kill that knight. So he had used his Ultimate Skill. But the knight he had swallowed was spat out!
The light with the azure tail flame changed the result.
This blue light had appeared twice already, repeatedly saving the knight.
If that caster isn’t killed, perhaps another blue light would appear next time to save the knight.
Feeling played by an ant, Luoshi was completely enraged.
He decided to temporarily spare the knight, who was already dying and couldn’t escape. But the caster, hundreds of meters away, might escape.
After killing so many of his Little Fishman subjects, today everyone must die here!
