The Divine Hunter Chapter 28: Experience questions
For the next month, Roy focused on training swordsmanship and crossbow shooting skills every day, receiving hormone therapy, and taking various weird medicines. His life was hard and fulfilling.
Although he did not gain much experience, he further explored his own attributes, and his body began to adapt to the toxicity of various hormones. The influence of hormones on his temper and personality gradually weakened, and he even enjoyed it, enjoying that kind of A tireless feeling of strength.
He had a premonition that there was something hidden in his body - a cocoon, or a force that was quietly accumulating and growing.
It is not until the entire trial process is completed that the hidden things will break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly, fully revealed.
……
After a month of training, the difficulty of teaching the demon hunter has gone up a level.
In the courtyard, Roy pursed his lips tightly and stood at attention, with his feet shoulder-width apart.
"Old rules, five kinds of swordsmanship, combined with footwork, basic chopping, stabbing, dragging and cutting, practice it again..."
Hearing this, the young man suddenly took a step forward with his left foot, pointed his toes forward, and rotated his right foot outward forty-five degrees to form a T-step.
It is just a simple posture, but it is full of mysteries: the upper body is upright, the center of gravity is between the legs, and the feet are in a T-step, so that the front, rear, left and right can be balanced; the knees are slightly bent, so that the limbs can be moved easily and smoothly; The whole body is relaxed and the sword will not be sluggish or inaccurate due to stiff shoulders when swinging the sword.
He placed the hilt of the sword in the direction of his back foot, below the waist on the right side, with the blade facing upwards and the tip of the sword pointed directly at the witcher's throat.
The sword and body form the shape of a plow.
A cold light flashed in Roy's eyes, and the sword blade quickly slashed diagonally from right to left. He stepped forward with his right foot, and then turned into a new front foot after an alternating step.
After cutting with one sword, the training sword was transferred to the left waist, forming a new plow position...
……
Then the boy demonstrated one by one the starting position from the top, the bull position, the low position, the tail position...the five starting positions were converted to each other, and he performed chopping, thrusting, and dragging. The movements were standard. It's like measuring it with a ruler.
"Very good, you haven't been lazy during this time." The demon hunter nodded, with a look of approval on his face, and then asked, "Do you remember what I said? Why only teach the basics of swordsmanship and not specific sword moves? ”
"For ordinary humans, demon hunters are much more flexible. Only the most basic sword moves are enough to subdue them..." The young man replied with a loud voice.
This is easy to understand. When the physical fitness completely crushes the opponent, the simplest moves are the most efficient and deadly.
"When the opponent is a monster, fancy swordsmanship has no effect. Only speed, strength, experience and on-the-spot reaction can determine life and death!"
Five standard stances, basic footwork, and basic sword moves allow the sword-wielding demon hunter to give full play to his physical advantages.
No need to worry about advanced skills such as listening to the sword, wrapping the sword, and seizing the sword.
After all, most of the targets of demon hunters are monsters.
"What is the point of swordsmanship?" Leisuo began to test theoretical knowledge,
"Don't simply block!" Roy replied simply and neatly, "You must counterattack while blocking, or use the opponent's strength to counterattack."
"When facing a powerful monster," the young man paused and said, "Don't try to block..."
The words of the witcher flashed through my mind - no matter how strong a person is, it is impossible to completely block the dragon lizard's tail, the gryphon beast's claws, and the giant scorpion's pincers with a sword...
"Replace all blocking with dodge and roll."
……
"Face me, observe my movements, posture, and the direction of my muscles... What appears in front of you now is a Blood Thorn Corpse Demon——"
The demon hunter, dressed in shiny black leather armor, squatted down half-crouching like a monster, with all fours on the ground.
As if receiving some kind of instruction, the boy holding the sword opposite took over the words of the witcher and slowly described the characteristics of the monster. At the same time, he moved sideways in alternating steps around the witcher.
"The Bloodthorn Corpse Demon is a type of ghoul. It resembles a ghoul but is much larger in size. It has three bone crowns on its head. It is extremely powerful and can react quickly. Turning around and running away from it is tantamount to committing suicide; it The hardness of his fangs and teeth is no weaker than steel and cannot be matched head-on. The weakness is——"
The words stopped abruptly. The young man bowed slightly, stepped into a T-step with his feet, held the hilt of the sword slightly above his head - on the side of the back foot - and locked the tip of the sword on the witcher's face like a compass, doing Starting from the standard bull position.
And the latter rushed towards him with a muffled roar.
The fallen leaves on the ground were lifted up by the strong force, and the "monster" rushed towards the boy like a furious bull, and clamped forward with its muscular claws.
For a moment, the fierce wind blew the latter's scattered black hair. The training sword lightly touched the demon hunter's body. Roy used the tip of his left toe as the center of gravity to turn his body with momentum, and he was in danger again. He dodged the grapple and used the inertia to lightly drop his right foot to the side.
"Now is the time!"
The back of the "monster" was exposed in front of you, and the training sword flew through the air like a gust of wind, poking at the arteries on the back of its neck!
There was a clear "bang" sound, the arm guard was pulled back, the blade was blocked first, and the sword was held tightly!
Roy had no time to abandon his sword and was knocked into his arms - the demon hunter knocked him to the ground like a giant ravaging a doll.
The ground trembled amid the huge muffled sound. Roy, who fell on his back, looked blue and white, clutching his chest in pain, and his internal organs seemed to have been knocked out of place.
"Ahem...it hurts so much every time, can't you be gentler?!"
"Pain can help you remember!" The demon hunter still held his body, and after hearing this, he leaned into his ear and teased, "I'm not a sorceress, and you won't get anything to do with me. By the way, congratulations on winning the third prize. One hundred and fifty-four deaths."
"Ahem...that's enough, be careful I tell Coral exactly what you said." Roy recently learned a new way to deal with the big man, "I'm curious if she will flush you into the sewer when she is angry? ”
The demon hunter's eyelids twitched, he let go of the boy, and patted the dust on his hands, "Actually, I do it for your own good. If you die a few more times now, you can live longer."
During this period, the big man pretended to be water ghosts, evil ghosts, Qi Qimo, small mist demons and other monsters to fight with him. Whenever he seized the opportunity to win, the opponent would move faster and bigger. The power thwarts his hopes.
"But you can't cheat all the time!" Roy stood up and touched the side waist of his leather jacket. He didn't know what happened, and a big hole opened there. "Every time he suddenly used illegal force, he kept If you destroy my self-confidence, you are not afraid that I will fail!?"
"The Roy I know is not such a weak person! Don't waste time, keep training!"
The two played several hot "role-playing games", and no surprise, Roy was still violently tortured.
Until he couldn't muster the slightest strength, he lay straight on the grass in the courtyard, looking up at the bright sky, breathing heavily.
Uncharacteristically, the witcher didn't push him. With a complicated look in his eyes, he sat down next to him and stayed quiet for a moment.
Looking like he asked casually, "Kid, I remember the miracle you performed in the last section of the Smelk Mine Tunnel - the fatal injuries suddenly disappeared... Can you still do it now?"
The demon hunter's amber pupils showed ardent expectations ~IndoMTL.com~ and anxiety - if Roy can activate this ability during the trial, there is no doubt that the chance of survival will be greatly increased and he can survive the Green Grass Trial. , almost a certainty.
This... Roy looked embarrassed.
Recently, he has been completely occupied with training and testing medicines. He can only spare a very small amount of time to hunt in the mountains near the Temple of Melitelli every day. After all, he is not a professional hunter. The beasts in the mountains are so cunning. On average, he can only hunt in the mountains in a day. A dozen experience points, currently Demon Hunter level 4 (1300/2000).
It was undoubtedly a luxury to have enough upgrade experience before taking the herbal potion, and he was worried about it. If it doesn't work, I can only ask the sorceress to slow down the whole process until she accumulates enough experience.
But can you reveal this kind of thing to the witcher and tell him your trump card?
Roy then thought, the other party has already seen his specialness, why should he keep secretive and deceive himself.
"Unfortunately, I'm afraid I can't... Everything in this world has a price, and the ability to take the place of death in the mine has extremely harsh conditions for activation..." He used a vague language to describe this trump card.
"What conditions?"
"To save my own life from death, I have to replace it with another life - I have to kill a lot of animals and monsters with my own hands..."
The boy deliberately concealed the human beings, otherwise he would appear too evil.
After hearing this, the demon hunter's dull face showed no change, but the slightly trembling corners of his eyes still revealed that he was not in a calm mood.
"I understand."
He replied dully, a glimmer of light flashing in his pupils.
"That's it for today's training, let's go find the coral!"
Roy turned around——
At the entrance of the courtyard, the sorceress was smiling gracefully and waving towards this side.
