Chapter 584 585. Magic Equipment
Knock down flying crossbow arrows at a head-on confrontation distance.
This is not a simple matter.
In fact, Geralt was once famous in the north as the "Butcher of Blavikan", and what made him famous in this incident was not just wearing a shirt at the market. Just kill seven gangsters.
To a large extent, it was also because he used his long sword to chop away a crossbow arrow that was fired from the front.
Even because of this record, many people simply thought after hearing the story that it was another drunken fabrication by some bard.
Witchers can chop away arrows in a tense battle environment because their keen sensory system allows them to capture the movement of arrows flying.
As long as you practice hard or have great talent, you can deflect arrows.
But what about ordinary people?
The speed of the arrow is much faster than the horizontal movement speed of ordinary humans.
It is estimated that only people standing very far away can easily catch the flying arrows with their eyes. But as the target of shooting, the person involved will definitely not be able to keep this distance.
The sound of arrows breaking through the wind, when the arrows pass by you or have been nailed to your body, is just like the flying leaves blown by the wind suddenly.
It was a noise that was so erratic that it could be ignored.
Swordsmen who can block crossbow bolts with their swords undoubtedly have the ability to face a demon hunter alone and cause damage!
After shooting crossbows at the same time in an instant, the two demon hunters and the two people on the opposite side dropped their hand crossbows at the same time.
In a battle of this intensity, if you want to wind up again, you are courting death.
The swords from the backs of the two demon hunters were pulled out at the same time.
The dark wavy blade does not emit violent reflections, but instead has a sense of depression.
Gede still adhered to the hard-on approach of the Bear School. Like a wild bull, he rushed straight through the closed fence gate of the hotel courtyard.
Geralt followed closely and rushed in through the gap.
The man in the cloth hat was the first to face Gede who was charging forward. The anesthetic powder made him extremely excited and agile at the moment.
The long sword at the waist was unsheathed, and it struck the side of the Valyrian steel sword of the bear faction lightly and quickly. It was originally so powerful that it almost cut the person in half in one encounter. .
The actual force exerted on the opponent's sword was suddenly reduced to less than 20%.
Even though the demon hunters of the Bear School have always exceeded the average level of their kind in terms of strength, it is impossible to kill a good swordsman with only 20% of their strength.
A fierce spark of steel confrontation erupted between the two swords.
But both sides holding the sword were safe and sound.
Heris, who had just swung the crossbow, had a dagger in one hand and a one-handed sword in one hand. He smiled ferociously and was about to get behind Gede and occupy the back position.
But Geralt used a nudge that almost made his stomach open, forcing him to the side.
Ged is facing the leader of this small group. Judging from his reaction speed and skills, he should be the strongest person among them.
So Geralt did his part and caught other approaching opponents.
One wields a half-handed sword, and this one wields both long and short swords.
Geralt is an experienced demon hunter who has traveled all over the world.
His experience in sword fighting may not be matched by ordinary people in a lifetime. This is the advantage of the immortal species.
The boy with double swords looked bluffing, dazzled by the pair of steel weapons he played with.
The originally approaching sword blade may be retracted halfway, but when you pay attention to this sword, another sword is already approaching quickly in the blind corner of your vision.
This is the basic style of dual swords.
If you are an ordinary swordsman or demon hunter, you will always experience a period of suppression before adapting to the style of the dual-sword swordsman.
But Geralt relied on his experience and adapted in an instant.
"Two swords. It's easy to deal with."
Geralt's masseter muscles bulged invisibly, which was facial compensation for the sudden and massive force exerted by the muscles.
The Valyrian steel sword of the Wolf faction in his hand first blocked by his side, parrying the half-hand sword that was slashing towards his legs.
Then in the next moment, with a powerful chop close to that of the Bear School, he greeted Herris directly on the head! The pure strength of ordinary people cannot match that of demon hunters, so they have an advantage.
Blocking with one hand holding a sword cannot cope with slashing with two hands. Big advantage!
This is a world of physics. Even if Gerd holds a sword with one hand, he can't stop Geralt from holding a sword with both hands, let alone an ordinary person!
Your moves are so fancy that you can't even block effectively, so your swords deserve to die!
Sure enough, when Geralt slashed violently less than two seconds after the confrontation, Herriston's face turned pale as he danced his swords together.
Even though he had just taken the anesthetic powder, he could not stop the cold sweat on his face.
Obviously, he had never thought that someone could adapt to the fast attack rhythm of his two swords so quickly.
With two swords in his hands, one long and one short, he tried hard to form an X-bearing structure to block Geralt's slashing.
But this kind of plot can only be read in knight's books. In real sword fights, few swordsmen using two-handed swords can assume a posture with a stable force-bearing structure in harsh and urgent battles.
This requires a lot of timing and body control.
So it is in line with the laws of physics.
“Pfft!”
The steel passed by, and the one-handed sword was struck by the Valyrian sword of the wolf faction. Just press it down!
And the sword blade, which was like water waves and smoke, had already cut into the opponent's shoulder.
The depth is about half of the sword surface, about three centimeters.
This depth is enough to damage the bones, which is equivalent to making the opponent retire from the sword fight.
But Geralt's eyes widened in victory.
The depth of this chop is wrong, and the resistance is far greater than it should be in terms of feel!
The silver pendant on her chest began to sway slightly.
“Your mother’s magic equipment?!”
“Ged, pay attention!”
Geralt shouted at his companions and sharpened the blade of his sword. He pressed hard and pulled it out, causing a drag cut.
A move that was more damaging than chopping, the sword blade instantly cut diagonally from the opponent's shoulder blade to the neck!
The double-sword Helis's body hit the wall of the back hotel, and then bounced back, sprinkling blood in the dirty mud where a lot of spit had been spitted out.
Geralt's reminder was timely, because Gede had just had a sudden sword duel with the man in the cloth hat, and had an unexpected feeling that was numb like an electric shock.
After hearing the word 'magic equipment', he immediately held up a [Quen's Seal] without hesitation.
The demon hunter's magic power, in the form of a shield, washed away the magic effect of the magic equipment and returned to normal.
However, the vibrations of Bear and Wolf's pendants were getting louder and louder at this time.
A 'cracking' sound followed by an unnatural blue light appeared not far away.
It was the mixed-race woman who had a cut on her head with a razor, dripping with blood but still grinning.
She is a warlock!
And it seems that he has taken advantage of just now to prepare a powerful thunder and lightning magic!
The magic of the witcher is as weak as a candle in the face of the worst sorcerer.
It stands to reason that the demon hunters, who were frightened when faced with magic equipment, should be as desperate as if they had seen a ghost.
But the mixed-race woman found unusually that the two demon hunters present were not panicked at all.
After their initial surprise, their emotions quickly stopped there, and there was no fear, fear, etc. that they should have.
On the contrary, they didn't even bother to look here again.
The mixed-race sorceress raised the ball of lightning above her head, feeling a little dazed.
And the next moment, "Bang!"
The wooden board exploded, as if there was something invisible, directly hitting the barber's tool cart behind the mixed-race sorceress, and then passed over her hand raised above her head. .
After being stunned for nearly half a second, she suddenly felt the heartbreaking pain going up from her elbow!
