Mage Veigar

Chapter 459 Both sides suffer losses
It's that scimitar.

Vega hid behind a group of guards, fear in his eyes.

During the battle with Old Scimitar, Vega did not feel anything wrong at first. The only thing that surprised him was that the old man was still very strong. At this age, each of his blows was even more powerful than his own after he had added the Behemoth Power combat skill.

And it's not inferior in speed either.

Without these buffs, I'm afraid I might not be able to beat the old scimitar in close combat.

If that were all, Vega wouldn't take it too seriously.

What really made Veigar feel that the opponent was special was the impeccable defense. No matter whether he used shadow magic to attack from both ends, or used mirror image and trickery to confuse the opponent, the opponent could detect it in the first time and make an airtight defense.

If you want to use one word to describe Old Scimitar's fighting style, it would be——

stable!
It is very stable, every move is so solid that there are no mistakes.

This also directly led to the ping-pong sounds that had been heard throughout the entire corridor. Those were the sounds of Vega's every attack being blocked by the rusty scimitar.

Originally, this was nothing.

The duel between masters is a back-and-forth game.

But after a long time, Vega finally felt something was wrong.

It seemed that with every attack, a small amount of cold air was transmitted from the scimitar into his body, which was like a slowly approaching cold air, almost negligible in this kind of winter.

Do not!
Even in summer, no one would pay attention to the chilly air that was thinner than a gentle breath.

But little by little, it adds up to a lot. When you find that your body is becoming increasingly sluggish, and even your every move can no longer keep up with the brain's command, it is already too late and escape is already a luxury.

It was not until this time that Vega understood why the other party claimed to be a hunter.

Indeed, the name suits the person.

This method of boiling a frog in warm water is indeed terrifying. If he was the only one here and there were no guards, even if he possessed the magic of shadow transformation, he would probably have died under the scimitar now.

Although Vega really didn't want to admit it.

But it must be mentioned that he was indeed regarded as a prey by the other party.

It is said that there are always people better than you.

It was not until this moment that Vega truly understood that this world was much bigger than he had imagined, and that there were countless strange people.

Being too superstitious about your own strength will only lead to a miserable death.

After this battle, Vega has discovered that his opponent is not a star magician, or even a mid-level magician, but just a lower-level shadow mage and a lower-level professional. However, with such strength, he was able to beat him, a lower-level magician and mid-level professional who mastered a variety of combat skills and magic, without any resistance.

Vega huddled behind the guards, his face showing an unprecedented solemnity.

He had realized that he was in big trouble this time.

Because he had been beaten to the point where he had almost no fighting power, and although the opponent also showed signs of fatigue, he had not lost his basic fighting ability. In addition, Vega was restricted by the terrain here and did not dare to order the magician to release powerful magic, which resulted in no way to control this old scimitar.

of course.

It is not impossible to work together to force Old Scimitar out of this terrain.

But the old scimitar was forced outside and the controlled guards could not move again. The opponent had a strange magic that was hidden from the Word Spirit Mage. By that time, the sea was wide and the fish could leap. I am afraid that Vega would not be able to fight back.

So what should we do now?
Veigar struggled to regain control of his body while confronting Old Machete.

That’s right, we have now entered the confrontation stage.

A group of guards stood in front of Vega and were ready for battle. Old Scimitar just stared at Vega without launching an attack.

After a few minutes of confrontation, Old Scimitar made a move that puzzled Veigar.

Turn around and run away!

Smoothly and smoothly, done in one go!
Unexpectedly, Old Scimitar broke through the human wall, jumped out of the window, and disappeared from everyone's sight. This action made Vega and the guards unable to react for a long time.

why?
He clearly had the upper hand. There was no one here who could match him, but why was he running away?

Vega couldn't understand it at all. This action had no reason and was illogical, but he did it anyway.

Vega did not delve into the reasons.

Because after Old Scimitar left, Vega withdrew the "Iron Will" combat skill he had just learned.

When this combat skill was removed, Vega found that the coldness in his body completely erupted, causing him to fall straight to the ground, unable to control his body even a finger...

This was Veigar's toughest battle so far.

The final result of this battle ended with Old Scimitar's inexplicable escape, and Veigar won... Let's just say that the victory was inexplicable, although Veigar himself did not feel that he had won, but felt that he had lost completely -

Whether it is from a one-on-one fight or a group fight.

----

The civilian area of ​​the city of Donbu.

Old Scimitar fled back to his residence when the sun rose.

boom!
The moment Old Machete closed the door, he could no longer hold back and spat out a mouthful of blood.

From the tribal wars in the desert to the trials in the Imperial Inquisition, this was the first time in more than 40 years that Old Scimitar had been injured so badly. It was also the first time that he was so embarrassed that he couldn't even utter a harsh word to scare his prey, and he turned around and fled in embarrassment.

The word 'escape' can indeed be used.

Because the old machete is not as glamorous as it seems.

In this battle with Vega, he never had the upper hand from beginning to end... If the superficial advantage can be counted, then he took the initiative in the battle.

It all started with Doran's Blade.

You need to know that Old Scimitar has three abilities that make him stand out from the crowd.

The first is the form of nothingness that even the Word Mage cannot perceive. The second is the keen perception of danger, which is the combat instinct developed since childhood in the chaotic desert. It can even directly see through the tricks of the Shadow Mage. The third is this scimitar.

This scimitar is the most precious treasure of the Scimitar Tribe.

It is considered a mid-level magic weapon, but it has a magic that can paralyze the enemy's nerves.

As long as the magic power of the opponent continues to collide in battle, the effect can be continuously accumulated. After a certain period of time, the enemy will be like a frog in boiling water, with no chance of turning the tables.

But what he didn't expect was——

Vega's red sword actually has the same effect.

No, strictly speaking it is more terrifying than the scimitar in his hand.

Every time his scimitar came into contact with the sword blade, the sword would draw away some of his magic power and mental strength. Although this magic power was insignificant, after accumulating over time, the old scimitar discovered with horror that he was no longer able to fight.

As a hunter.

Old Scimitar would never show signs of fatigue in front of his prey. If he really showed signs of fatigue, it was either intentional or his body had reached its limit.

This time it's clearly the latter.

Therefore, when he fled in a hurry, he not only overdrew his mental and magical powers, but he also didn't even have the strength to fight back. If he continued to stay, he would definitely die. Fortunately, the prey did not stop him and seemed unaware of this. He hid himself very well.

So he lost this battle, completely.

But Old Scimitar would not give up, because he did not reveal the truth of his defeat. At this time, the prey who did not know the truth was probably still wondering why he left. At the same time, they were frightened by his strength and were nervously thinking about defensive countermeasures.

Although he didn't kill Silis, his goal had been achieved.

Make the prey panic, wait for it to reveal a flaw due to fear, and then kill it with one blow!
