Difficulties and opportunities are two topics that are difficult to explain clearly. Some people usually say that when difficulties occur, they are often accompanied by opportunities. It is up to you whether you can seize them. Whenever Erwin hears this sentence, there will always be one who beats up all those guys who stand and talk without pain. Then again, difficulties may indeed be accompanied by opportunities, but how many people can survive them? Can you seize opportunities while facing difficulties? More often than not, when difficulties occur, the victims simply cannot discover the opportunities hidden behind the difficulties, let alone seize them. "The world cannot be described in absolute terms. In many cases, a dilemma is a dilemma. It wants you to die, to despair, to have no way out, and no chance at all. If there is no hope, then what opportunities are there? Erwin didn't know whether it was a dilemma and an opportunity after he met Osmund. Theoretically, the dilemma was Osmund's powerful power, and the opportunity was the rewards obtained after defeating him, such as equipment or Experience is worth something, but as far as the current situation is concerned, Erwin can only see his own predicament, but not the opportunities. It may be like a mirror, a mirage. Things are obviously there, but no matter how hard you try, there will always be nothing. It cannot be grasped accurately. Osmond probably already knew that Erwin was ready, and he didn't care where Susan was hiding and staring at him. "Then, let the battle begin. Let me see your efforts and see if you have the ability to turn difficulties into opportunities." Osmond said lightly, and Rex's sword fell on the snow in front of him. However, Osmond didn't like such a weapon at all. He stretched out his hand, and the iconic black mist began to appear in the palm of his hand, and then quickly condensed a jet black long sword in the palm of his hand. The black sword is longer than the ordinary long sword. It is similar to Erwin's Zantetsu Sword. The black sword has traces of blood-red lines like vines, and the shape of the guard is more It looks like two forked leaves, and at the end behind the gauntlet is a black rose flower. A very strange weapon, Erwin recognized it at a glance. The name of this sword is [Black Rose Blade], and it is a Noble Phantasm-level weapon exclusive to Osmund. Weapons at the Noble Phantasm level are even higher than the Excellent level. Erwin's Zantetsu Sword is of the Excellent level, with very excellent attribute effects and is strong and durable enough. But weapons at the Noble Phantasm level are different. Noble Phantasms not only have excellent attribute effects, but also have amazing abilities like spells. Each Noble Phantasm has a real name, and only the user will know the real name. Without unblocking the true name, the Noble Phantasm would probably be at the Excellent level in the first battle. Relying on its excellent attribute effects, Erwin's Iron Zhan Sword has sharpness and armor-piercing effects, and can cut Cut off many sophisticated weapons and armors. Once the true name of the Noble Phantasm is unsealed, it means that the Noble Phantasm can already use its unique abilities. Erwin remembers that his Iron Zhan Sword also has a weapon that has been upgraded to a Noble Phantasm, called the Broken Steel Sword. , the ability after unsealing the true name is to cut off, cut off everything. Although Erwin has never fought Osmund in the game, judging from the information collected on the game forum, he is still very familiar with his [Black Rose Blade] ability. Seeing Osmund summoning all the [Black Rose Blades], Erwin knew that the big demon in front of him was finally getting serious. He had no way to escape or avoid the fight, so he could only face it head on. Holding the Iron Sword with both hands, Erwin activated the Iron Sword Technique. Although he is not sure yet to what extent Osmond's power is, whether it is higher than expected or lower than expected, he knows very well. You can no longer hold back like you did when dealing with other enemies, otherwise you will definitely be the one who dies in the end. "Come on Osmund, let me see how powerful you, the hero of the Rose Dynasty, are." Erwin shouted loudly. "Young man with good courage, I will use all my strength to repay you. I am about to start, so pay attention." Osmond whispered. Then, he gently swung the Black Rose Blade back in his hand. The whole person disappeared from the place in an instant. No, it's not that he disappeared, but that his speed was so fast that it was difficult to see with the naked eye. The moment he disappeared, a big hole was blasted out on the ground like an explosion, and countless snow and soil were thrown together. It was blown up into the sky. The sound of explosions after the speed of sound was breached rang out in the air, and the exploding sound waves left arc-shaped deep marks on the snow on the ground. Erwin could not see Osmund's movements at all, but relying on his combat experience and intuition, the moment Osmund disappeared, Erwin immediately pulled the Zantetsu Sword horizontally and blocked it in front of him. There was a loud "clang" sound, and just as Erwin blocked the iron sword in front of him, he felt a wave ofAn unimaginable amount of force came from the two arms holding the sword, and then his whole body was shot away from the place, as if thrown, flying upwards into the sky. The piercing sound of the wind surged into his ears. Erwin had no place to borrow strength in mid-air. His body was in a weird stiffness where he could not move. The force pouring from his two arms almost overwhelmed his body. The flesh and bones shattered together, and the muscles all over his body made sour screams, as if rusty gears were desperately trying to turn. When the body flew to the highest point, the inertia of the impact had not disappeared. Erwin heard the sound of sonic explosions in front of him. He could not see the situation clearly. He only saw a black thing teleporting. Next to him, already tens of meters in the air, Erwin knew that Osmond was catching up. The stiffness in his body had not disappeared, and he could not use the power of his will to move his muscles. [Heavy Attack] Erwin was unable to drive his body, so he could only use his will to release two skills at the critical moment. Under the penetration of the system's power, his stiff arms twitched violently, moving the Zantetsu Sword forward. block. There was another loud noise, as if a sonic bomb was ignited dozens of meters high in the air. The diffuse sound waves carried many sparks that disappeared after dissipating. Erwin¡¯s whole body felt as if he had been hit by a hammer. His tilted upward body immediately fell vertically, falling to the ground from a height of tens of meters. The thick snow on the ground can offset a certain amount of impact, but this is a drop in the bucket in Erwin's current situation. His body is still full of stiffness and inertia under Osmond's second blow. , unable to make effective blocking moves. The invisible hammer hit the ground, creating a large pit with a diameter of more than five meters. Erwin was in the middle of the pit, with his back on the ground, and the impact force came from his back muscles. It rushed in, penetrated the flesh and spine, and then affected his internal organs. The strongly compressed internal organs immediately caused internal bleeding, and the blood rushed out of his throat under the squeeze of pressure. Erwin spurted out a mouthful of blood, and his body that hit the ground bounced like a ball. A gust of wind blew past, and Osmond fell into the pit. Just at the moment Erwin's body bounced up, he swung the Black Rose Blade again and landed on Erwin's body. A huge clang of gold and iron sounded, and Erwin was once again knocked out. His body rolled over several times in mid-air and hit the ground, plowing a deep hole. Then he bounced up again and fell into the distance. In the woods nearby, there was a crackling sound, and I don¡¯t know how many trees were broken. In front of the last giant tree with two people hugging each other, Erwin finally adjusted his posture and stepped on the tree. The inertia and power carried by his body directly caused the tree to explode, forming a giant tree. A pothole the size of a human head. With a whoosh, Erwin fell from the tree and almost fell to the ground. He could only rely on the tree behind him to avoid falling. He raised his head, and not only his chin, but also his entire chest and front were covered in blood. The two arms holding the sword kept shaking, and the tiger's mouth on them had been cracked by the shock. "I was deceived. This son of a bitch is definitely more than a second-level one." Erwin muttered to himself, and blood began to pour out of his mouth again. His body had already suffered considerable injuries, and his internal organs were also damaged. He was also shocked a lot. "My strength, speed and reaction ability are absolutely weak, and I can still resist three consecutive attacks even though I can't see my movements clearly. It's really a terrifying combat experience and intuition." Outside the woods, Osmond couldn't help but sigh. With a cry, each of his three consecutive blows could kill a strong man who had entered the first level of the Rank Gate. With Rex's strength, it was impossible to accept even one blow. Erwin's strength obviously did not exceed the second level, but he was able to receive three of his attacks in a row without being seriously injured. However, it was a sigh of relief. Osmond would never be merciful. He rushed out of the woods again, and his whole person immediately disappeared from the place. The speed was so fast that it was difficult to see clearly with the naked eye, and he rushed straight into the woods. Go in. After passing the normal distance, Osmond had already seen Erwin's figure still leaning against the tree. He swung the Black Rose Blade forward in his hand, and the black blade immediately threw out a fan-shaped arc. Black sword light. At this moment, a swishing scream suddenly came from outside the woods. Dozens of bows and arrows came backwards from outside the woods. Almost every one of them deftly avoided the trees, and they all headed towards the tree. Osmond shot from the front. "Impossible, that little girl definitely can't see me. No, this is a pre-judgment shot." Osmond was shocked. At his current speed, not to mention an ordinary person, even Erwin It's absolutely impossible to see his movements clearly, and the female archer can'tEven more impossible. But what Osmond didn't know was that Susan's eyesight far exceeded Erwin's. Even if he turned on the [Detection] ability, he couldn't match it. What's more important is that Susan not only had excellent eyesight, but also had excellent eyesight. Even the dynamic vision is equally good, so he can vaguely capture some afterimages of Osmond's movements. If that's the case, then Susan can't pose any threat to Osmond, but in addition to Susan's amazing eyesight, her archery skills are enough to make even the best marksmen feel inferior and ashamed. While shooting the arrow, you can also predict the opponent's movements. On Osmond's side, although his movements are very fast, he also sacrifices flexibility when moving fast. He cannot make any dexterous movements at all when moving, and it is difficult to change direction from a straight line. Therefore, when faced with so many bows and arrows aimed at his vital points, Osmond had to stop rushing forward and wave the Black Rose Blade in his hand, turning it into airtight black sword lights, All the bows and arrows shot were shot away and chopped into pieces one by one. A hundred meters away, after Susan shot dozens of bows and arrows, she quickly started running in an arc with Osmond as the center point, just like a female leopard jumping and moving in the woods. She jumped hard on the ground, jumped high up to a tree that grew horizontally, and then without looking, she drew an arrow and shot it to the side. The moment the bow and arrow left the string, Susan had already jumped out of the tree. Jumping up and falling down, she stretched her body in mid-air, stretched her bow and arrow again and shot hard. When the bow and arrow shot out, she had already jumped to the ground, and her body rolled across a piece of grass on the snow. When she got up again, she had already set up the bow and arrow. , and then shot again. Bows and arrows went out one after another while Susan was running. These bows and arrows all passed through the gaps between the trees nimbly, and then shot at Osmond in a steady stream. This scene almost frightened the well-informed Osmond. He almost thought that there were dozens of sharpshooters hidden in the woods. The endless bows and arrows made him exhausted. Erwin didn't even have time to solve it. Fortunately, when Bluestone City knew that Erwin was planning to look for Rex, Susan had already purchased four bags of bows and arrows and nearly two hundred arrows, and these two hundred bows and arrows were already shot by her in just a short while. half. Such a high-intensity shooting, even though Susan's physical fitness is far superior to that of ordinary people, the metal wrench on her finger has broken in half, and the finger that pulls the arrow string has begun to ooze blood, but she But still had no intention of stopping. With a swipe, Susan, who was running, stepped on a fallen tree, stopped her body suddenly, and quickly took out the last two bows and arrows from the third quiver that was empty. She did not shoot the two bows and arrows at the same time, but shot one with 80% of the strength. When the bow and arrow just left the string, Susan's movements accelerated several times in an instant, and her face showed He had a painful expression, but his hands did not tremble at all. In half a blink of an eye, he shot the second bow and arrow with all his strength. When the second bow and arrow flew half the distance, it caught up with the first bow and arrow, sprinted to a position only a few centimeters away from the tail end of the arrow feathers, and then maintained the same speed. The two bows and arrows formed a line, one after the other, and shot towards Osmond, a hundred meters away. The bows and arrows that were cut off by him were all over the floor beside Osmond. He turned around and found that the last bow and arrow shot was at the same level as his line of sight, so that the bow and arrow would appear in his eyes. It becomes a small, hard-to-detect point. Only an extremely outstanding archer could shoot such an arrow. Osmond could not help but be filled with admiration and praise for the female archer. When he was still the Grand Duke of the Rose Dynasty, there were also some in his army. There are many people who have perfected their archery skills, but when this girl was so young, none of her subordinates could reach the same level of archery skills as hers. Facing this sword that was almost aimed at his eyes, Osmond suddenly swung the Black Rose Blade in his hand upwards. He could see the speed and power of this bow and arrow at a glance. This sword Just like this, he swung upwards and cut the bow and arrow right in the middle. And the situation was exactly as Osmond had planned. He swung the Black Rose Blade upwards to form an upward fan-shaped sword light, and then fell on the incoming bow and arrow, cutting the sword into two pieces. . This is the last bow and arrow. When this idea came to Osmond's mind and he thought it was correct, the real situation he saw from his sight was seriously deviated from his thought. There was another bow and arrow following the bow and arrow. Susan shot both bows and arrows so that they were at the same level as Osmond's vision. She did not intend to make the first bow and arrow difficult to detect, but to use the first bow and arrow.?The bow and arrow came to conceal the second bow and arrow following behind. "This is impossible." Such an idea came to Osmund's mind. His Black Rose Blade had just cut off the first bow and arrow upwards, and before he could turn around and go down, the second bow and arrow had already broken from the broken part. The two arrow shafts and the black sword passed between them, shooting at the unsuspecting Osmond. The original target of this arrow was the middle of Osmond's eyes, and only in this way could it be hidden from his sight. I don¡¯t know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but when Osmund swung the Black Rose Blade to cut off the first bow and arrow, his body also made a small change following the movement, and he moved a little sideways. location. And just such a small change made the target of Susan's second bow and arrow become one of Osmond's eyes. Then he shot it through the eye accurately. Osmond let out a shrill scream, and was driven backwards by the impact of the bow and arrow, falling down onto the snow with a thud. Erwin had just recovered from being knocked away by Osmond three times in a row, and his dizzy brain finally calmed down when he saw Osmond being shot over by an arrow. There were only two words left in his mind. "Fuck"
