Chapter 80: Critical Wounds
A week ago, Dallion would have charged directly at the guardian. Both of them had ranged attacks now, also the boy had matured quite a bit since their last encounter. There was more in fighting than the actual battle. As he looked at the golem, Dallion saw many of his optionshe could shoot a bolt directly at him, he could wait for the guardian to make the first attack, or he could start walking calmly forward. For a split second, images of each action appeared in Dallions mind, showing him the results. In two of the cases, the resulting counterattack dealt Dallion a minor injury.
Walking it is, then, he thought, making his way around the large hole that separated the two.
For several steps nothing happened, then green footprints appeared along with a shield marker in the air. Dallion didnt think, following the guard skills suggestion without even looking. No sooner had he done so than a stream of water splashed into his buckler.
The force of the attack was significant. Before, it would have even knocked Dallion easily to the ground. Now, it only pushed him a step back. Leveling up his body stat was useful after all.
My turn, Dallion said. Following the guard markers through to complete a full set, Dallion then aimed at the watery area between the guardians arm and torso.
A weak spot marker appeared. Once the aim was spot on, Dallion squeezed the trigger.
In his past experience, slashing and piercing attacks had little effect on waterthe third guardian in the awakening shrine had shown him that much. Dallion expected hed only achieve a minor wound taking five percent off the golems health, if that. Instead, the water exploded as if someone had triggered a depth charge.
CRITICAL WOUND!
Dealt Damage increased by 200%!
Lacking its connection, the large boulder that composed the golems arm dropped off, slamming to the ground.
ARM SEVERED
Enemy will no longer be able to make use of its LEFT ARM
LEG SEVERED
Enemy will no longer be able to make use of its LEFT LEG
MODERATE WOUND!
Health has been decreased by 25%
Dallions back felt like a pin hit by a bowling ball. The force of the blow brought him to his knees. Simultaneously, the golems leg dropped off as well, only to be replaced by a second one.
Crap, Dallion said, gasping for breath. The pain had almost entirely disappeared, although he still felt short of breath. Youre no pushover.
Area guardians really were on an entirely different level. And to think that both Veil and Gloria had managed to defeat a few. Granted, they had faced level one guardians, but it was still damned impressive.
Theres no way Im falling behind. Dallion stood up. Enough warmup. Time for the real deal!
The distance between Dallion and the guardian was a few hundred feet. Dallion could continue trading long ranged attacks and rely that his enemy would be out of damage before he was. So far, the odds were in his favortwo critical attacks had reduced the golems health to sixty percent. Three more hits and he would be victorious. Of course, the same could be said for the guardian.
This battle has already cost you an arm and a leg.
Dallion assessed his options. Water jet attacks wouldnt be an issue, but while the golem had a functional arm, the rock-hurling option would be a pain. Despite the obvious, the solution was to decrease the distance.
Darude. Dallion dashed forward, taking aim at the guardians other leg.Visitt (.)co/m for the latest updates
