Chapter 165: Hand It Over
(Later than usual, sorry)
Andrea, having lost the Golden Crystal Twin Swords, wore an extremely unpleasant expression.
But she still managed to pull out an enormous black moon scythe from her inner space.
This black moon scythe was adorned with intricate golden patterns, and as the sharp blade swung, it faintly emitted spatial ripples.
Obviously.
This black moon scythe was also a high-quality and high-level weapon!
However, under the suppression of the 'Fairness Holy Chapter,' all the attribute enhancements and power exhibited by this extraordinary weapon were greatly restrained!
No matter what equipment Andrea wore, her attributes would match Ling Zhan's exactly for five minutes!
Andrea sensitively noticed that this despicable, irritating boy's eyes lit up again when she took out the black moon scythe.
That look in his eyes was like a thief seeing a coveted treasure...
This guy!
He's eyeing her weapon again!
This realization made Andrea's already angry heart even more irritable!
Without any hesitation.
She initiated another attack!
However...
Her attacks were too monotonous.
Perhaps it was due to her own profession.
Unable to unleash skills, she seemed incapable of adopting any other special attack methods.
After all, at her level, facing opponents of the same tier, both sides would generally use their most destructive skills against each other.
Or they would engage in earth-shattering confrontations with their sacred artifacts.
In the eyes of most four-tier profession experts, if a small skill could destroy something, why bother with any finesse?
In her prime, Andrea only needed to lightly swing her sword.
She could cover the entire mountain range with the Golden Crow flames, burning everything to ashes.
In simple terms.
She was overly reliant on her profession skills.
This led to a neglect of her own combat techniques.
But there was no other way.
The limitations of the profession meant that not everyone could deliberately hone their own combat skills.
Mage, Priest, Summoner, Mechanic...
And so on.
These professions, once their skills are sealed, basically become lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
You can't expect them to allocate their attribute points to strength and constitution, right?
If that were the case, why would I choose these professions in the first place?
While Assassins, Sanda fighters, Swordsmen, and other professions can still rely on their long-honed physique and techniques to fight back, even if they can't use skills.
They wouldn't be left completely powerless.
Furthermore...
Who would have thought that a dignified level 100 four-tier expert would have all their attributes forcibly suppressed by a level 22 human?
As a result.
Andrea's renewed attack seemed so monotonous in Ling Zhan's eyes.
It was nothing more than relying on the explosive speed from the Golden Crow clan's wings to move in front of Ling Zhan and swing the scythe in her hand.
Full of flaws!
Seeing the black moon scythe swinging toward him.
Ling Zhan didn't retreat but advanced, actively meeting the black moon scythe with his body!
At the same time, the Mad Kill Longsword in his hand was thrown out!
Its target was Andrea's head!
It was a life-for-life exchange!
"Damn it!"
As expected.
Andrea, not accustomed to close combat, didn't have enough determination in her fighting spirit. She decisively flapped her enormous black wings and chose to retreat!
Perhaps in her eyes, it wasn't necessary to exchange her life with this lowly human.
She only needed to endure this brief period of suppression, then she would once again become the Night Empress, ruling over everything!
However.
In a narrow path encounter, the brave wins.
This battle was essentially like crossing a single-plank bridge.
Once you harbor the thought of retreating in fear.
Then you can only let the other person cross the bridge safely.
And you...
Are destined to be suppressed!
At the moment the Night Empress retreated.
Ling Zhan had already anticipated her decision to retreat!
He suddenly pulled with his right hand.
The previously thrown longsword seemed to be drawn by an invisible force and returned directly to his hand.
Is this the Swordsman skill 'Sword Control'?
No!
If someone were observing closely at this moment, they would see, under the bright moonlight, that a transparent thread was wrapped around the hilt of the Mad Kill Longsword!
It was through this transparent thread wrapped around the hilt that he could easily retrieve the Mad Kill Longsword!
Even the thrown longsword was a feint!
Ling Zhan had precisely grasped the psychology of the Night Empress, who didn't dare to exchange life for life!
As he pulled the longsword back into his hand.
His legs bent slightly, then suddenly stomped!
Boom!!
The ground where he stood suddenly caved in under the immense pressure!
And his figure had already shot toward the Night Empress!
Closing in!
Taking advantage of every inch!
In some action games, there is a mechanism called: Catch Flash.
Predicting the enemy's next flash move to catch them during their recovery, initiating an attack.
Since Ling Zhan had already anticipated Andrea's flash move, he naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity to catch it!
So...
In Andrea's dazed golden pupils.
Ling Zhan's figure rapidly closed in once again!
The Mad Kill Longsword in his hand pointed directly at Andrea's pale neck!
Thrust!
This was a simple training move when practicing sword techniques in the Swordsman profession.
However, at this moment, when executed by Ling Zhan, it made Andrea feel an unparalleled threat of death!
The recovery time from her flash move prevented her from twisting her body to continue retreating!
She could only barely lean her head back!
Swish!!
The extremely sharp longsword almost grazed her delicate, pointed chin as it passed by!
At the same time.
The black moon scythe tightly held in her hand suddenly burst with immense force, trying to break free from her grip!
It's hard to focus on two things at once.
Her attention had been entirely on dodging the deadly thrust.
Additionally, her strength attribute was no longer what it used to be.
"Hand it over!"
Whoosh!!
In the end, the black moon scythe slipped from her hand, soaring high.
Finally, it landed safely in Ling Zhan's hand.
Andrea's recovery from the flash move had finished, and she stood in place, her stunningly beautiful face now thoroughly flushed.
It wasn't from shame.
It was from anger!
Her usually emotionless golden eyes were now filled with utter grief and indignation.
Humiliation!
She had been humiliated once again!!
On this day, she had faced more humiliation than in her entire life!
If her weapon had been taken by an opponent of the same level.
She wouldn't have felt so aggrieved.
But this opponent was just a level 22 non-specialist!
What made it even worse...
This damn young punk had the nerve to show a bright, infuriating smile at this moment:
"Grandma, if you have any more weapons, hurry up and take them out. I won't mind."
Andrea: "..."
Breathe!
Stay calm!
He won't be smug for long!
Andrea took a deep breath.
Her ample chest rose and fell.
After calming down.
Andrea slowly extended her palm.
Buzz!!
A small tower emanating a terrifying aura appeared in her hand.
