Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?
Chapter 1424 - 884: The One Who Excels in Both Stats and Mechanics (Part 2)
This attack trajectory is straightforward and can be seen through at a glance. With the previous experience, the Fran Guard even dares to raise the small round shield for a bounce back.
The Fran Guard at the forefront raised the small round shield tied to his left arm, and swung it towards the blade with incredibly precise timing.
"Huh?"
The small round shield suddenly swung into empty space, and the Fran Guard staggered a few steps due to not being able to stop in time.
"Where’s the enemy?"
Such a big Four Kings of Little Londo suddenly vanished, and in front of them was nothing but air.
Because the Four Kings of Little Londo appeared behind them, or more accurately, in front of the magicians who were exposed due to the Fran Guard’s charge.
It was almost like a flash of instant teleportation. Tusi’s team has suffered a lot because of this, so he specifically reminded Dal to watch out.
But the Fran Guards left the Four Kings of Little Londo with a perfect spot for a flash attack!
The slashing momentum, which wouldn’t weaken at all, was hacking towards the panicking magician, and the flash didn’t even interrupt his action.
However, the magician who looked panicked before suddenly curled his mouth into a smile.
"Sizzle! Crackle!"
Thunder suddenly exploded beneath the feet of the Four Kings of Little Londo. The surging thunder engulfed his body in an instant, and the explosive electricity froze his actions in mid-air.
"Perfect, the trap worked!"
The nearby robot-like Fran Guard suddenly howled and swung a sword towards the enemy, quickly adding more wounds to the Four Kings of Little Londo’s body while the beneficial magic on him hadn’t faded!
The development became very clear; the gap in the Fran Guard’s formation was deliberately exposed to lure the Four Kings of Little Londo.
They formulated targeted plans for each of the Four Kings of Little Londo’s moves after getting detailed information about them from Tusi, listing dozens of plans with potential feasibility.
This included setting a trap to attract the Four Kings of Little Londo using his flash move.
The trap on the ground is a commonly used trap by hunters from the forest area, originally to temporarily paralyze prey with electricity. After modification by the Fran Guards, the ordinary paralyzing current was changed to a lightning trap inscribed with the "Giant Thunder Spear."
Lightning originating from King Gwyn is sure to harm the Four Kings of Little Londo of the Abyss Force, and the fact has proven their guess correct. The lightning indeed had a significant effect on the Four Kings of Little Londo!
The power of the Four Kings of Little Londo was also quite beyond ordinary. Even while thunder continued to strike him, he could still slash at the person in front of him.
Dal suddenly surged forward and clashed blades with him. The impact transmitted from the weapon surprised him at the strength of the Four Kings of Little Londo, but in that instant, he found a point strong enough to exert force.
"Bang!"
He suddenly exerted force, barely deflecting the enemy’s weapon with all his might!
This was the super bounce-back ability he practiced day and night against the Agitated Golden Lion, even capable of deflecting three-fourths of the Wangba Fist!
"Let me!"
A Fran Guard excitedly jumped out of the crowd, fiercely stabbing his polished Fran Greatsword into the chest of the Four Kings of Little Londo, right at the opening in the steel armor.
This scene looked like something from a legendary story, the kind that often appears when the protagonist triumphs over the final enemy, looking super stylish and cool.
However, Dal, seeing this scene, felt like scolding.
You should have aimed for his head; stabbing the chest is useless!
It only adds to the scene’s style!
The body of the Four Kings of Little Londo shuddered strangely, then vanished instantly, reappearing far in the distance, away from everyone.
"Hey, my sword!" The Fran Guard who pierced the enemy’s chest shouted anxiously as his great sword was taken away by the Four Kings of Little Londo!
Dal tossed his Fran Greatsword to him, leaving only the Artorias Greatsword in his hand.
He quickly pulled out his magic wand, blasting a thick magic cannon formed by "Ordinary Attack Magic" toward the Four Kings of Little Londo, and the magicians beside him immediately followed up, firing a barrage of magic centered on the magic cannon at the Four Kings of Little Londo.
These Fran Guards, capable of high damage with their left hand in melee and also mastering various combat magics for ranged fights, even have versatile Fran series magic with high utility, making them an existence with exceptionally perfect stats and mechanics.
But the battle-scarred Four Kings of Little Londo exhibited incredibly fast speed, quickly vanishing into the darkness, causing all the magic attacks to miss.
The Fran Guards, seeing this scene, realized immediately what move the enemy would use next, and the team dispersed with great tacit understanding to form two small groups.
Sure enough, there was an unnatural wriggling in the darkness near each group; two pristine, unscathed Four Kings of Little Londo floated out of the darkness in an instant.
This was information recorded in all intelligence regarding the Four Kings of Little Londo - there are four of them, and they switch places in battle randomly, ensuring none of them get too injured, significantly slowing down the adventurer’s battle rhythm.
After understanding this information, the Fran Guards formulated plans based on their combat habits to quickly kill one or preferably two of the Four Kings of Little Londo.
Utilizing their inherent high burst characteristics, this was a completely realizable plan, if not for someone stabbing at the chest...
"The current situation is still pretty good." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
Two of the Four Kings of Little Londo immediately launched attacks on the Fran Guards, this time surrounding them with constant flashes and slashes, their speed significantly increased compared to before, making it hard to find a chance to land a hit.
But Dal judged that the situation wasn’t too bad for them because they had already accomplished something unprecedented - quickly killing one of the Four Kings of Little Londo, and severely injuring another.
This was already an unparalleled dream start.
And now, the appearance of these two yet uninjured Four Kings of Little Londo heralded the official start of the battle, next would be a test of everyone’s combat ability.
Tusi, somewhat recovering from the pain, raised his eyes and saw the scene where the Fran Guards divided into two groups to individually confront the Four Kings of Little Londo.
The Four Kings of Little Londo were flashing and slashing around them, while the Fran Guards gathered in a circle for countering, desperately defending against each attack, seeming to use all their strength to barely protect themselves from the slashes.
The magicians, on the other hand, were watching the abyss without daring to breathe heavily, as each slash from the Four Kings of Little Londo could potentially trigger the abyss to transform into various shapes, launching attacks in the same manner.
Attacks formed from the condensing abyss couldn’t be blocked with pure physical defense; they had to open the magic shield in time.
From this scene, it seemed that the Fran Guards were completely suppressed by the Four Kings of Little Londo, unable to do anything but defensive, without any power to fight back.
However, in Tusi’s eyes, it was another picture.
"How are they doing it..."
The flash slashes from the Four Kings of Little Londo, marked as a "Big Move" level technique in the rebel army’s intelligence, if used, not many could withstand it, almost declaring the battle ended.
That’s why the rebel army summed up a bunch of tactics to break this process, because they couldn’t confront it directly.
Yet, the Fran Guards could exchange blows with them?
This wasn’t the Fran Guards barely holding on, it was the Four Kings of Little Londo striving for an effective attack!
Completely turned the tables.
Tusi’s eyes widened in star-like excitement, his inner expectations for the Fran Guards reaching the highest!
However.
One Fran Guard’s defense suddenly slowed, getting a terrifying wound deep enough to see the bone on his chest.
Some of the beneficial magic they had on them had reached its time limit!
