Seeing the scene of Osmond being knocked down by an arrow, Erwin only had two words left in his mind: "Fuck". Only these two words could perfectly express his mood at this moment. Erwin has always been most satisfied with Susan because of her amazing archery skills. Her archery skills have grown at an alarming rate. When he first met Susan in the Shadow Mountains, at that time Susan's archery skills were probably similar to those of a sharpshooter in the army, but she was still very green. However, since leaving the Shadow Mountains, Susan's archery skills have improved by leaps and bounds. She soon surpassed the so-called marksmen, and finally even caught up with many game players. Except that there is no corresponding archer. In addition to her skills, Susan's archery skills are almost superb, completely comparable to those of gamers with system assistance. Erwin originally thought that his strength should leave Susan far behind, but judging from the current situation, in terms of close combat, Erwin can indeed completely defeat Susan, but if the two If they are separated by more than a hundred meters and there is no bunker in the middle, then the outcome will be difficult to say. In terms of long-range attack power, Susan has reached the level of a rank gate powerhouse. Osmond fell back on his back. The arrow shot by Susan shot directly into his eye socket. The sharp arrowhead shot out the eyeball. The powerful arrow shot from the wing bow directly hit Osmond. Meng's entire head was shot through. With a "pop" sound, Osmond fell to the snow. He howled miserably, stretched out his hand to grab the arrow stuck in his eye socket, and then pulled it out with force, directly pulling out the arrow. What was driven out by the arrows was not blood, but swirling black mist, like a ball with a small hole poked out. The black mist leaked from Osmond's eye sockets, forming streaks of flying, swimming waves. Snake-like mist. If it were an ordinary person, such a blow would probably kill him. Even an elite warrior, or a strong man like Erwin who has entered the gate of rank, might end up being killed in one blow, but Austrian Simon is not an ordinary person. His current body is almost entirely composed of cursed energy. Erwin and Susan's attacks can only reduce the energy in him bit by bit, and cannot act like an ordinary person. Just like humans, you can kill him by attacking just a few vital points. Of course, Osmond cannot ignore this blow casually. At least he can now fully feel it, just like a living person who can feel joy, anger, sorrow, and joy. At the same time, he can also feel it. Feel the pain, and the severe pain of being shot from the eye socket to the brain by a bow and arrow is not something that ordinary people can bear. What's more, Osmond is leaning over Rex now, and Rex is not dead, his body is just controlled by Osmond. When Susan attacks Osmond, she will also attack When it comes to Rex, the two combined are almost twice as painful. Osmond covered his eyes and stood up from the ground unsteadily. If it were before, he would have been able to use the power of the curse to transform Rex's body into the characteristics of an evil cursed creature, which could quickly heal the wounds on his body. He was injured, but now he can no longer do it, because Osmond's strength is no longer enough. In order to completely control Rex's body, Osmond has spent almost all his strength, and he used it to control Rex. There are two completely different methods from Gajeel. Gajeel first transformed his body and then merged it into one with his spirit, while Rex influenced him through his spirit from the beginning and achieved control step by step. There was almost no transformation in terms of it, and it was exactly the same as before. This was why Erwin saw that Rex didn't have the ability to heal as quickly as Gajeel. Resisting the severe pain in his eyes, Osmond shook his head on the spot, then raised his head and saw Erwin not far away who was still leaning against the tree but had not fallen. Osmond raised the Black Rose Blade in his hand high and stepped hard on his feet. The huge force penetrated from his thighs to the soles of his feet and then into the ground, exploding a large bomb as if a landmine was buried in the soil. Pit, and his whole person disappeared from the place again. Although the pain in his eyes was still unbearable, Osmond's spirit and thinking were not confused by this. He knew very well that this was because Rex was also injured by Susan's arrow, which was suppressed and hidden in his heart. The deepest consciousness began to stir again, which had a lot of impact on Osmond, but it did not threaten his absolute control of the body for the time being. However, just in case, Osmond decided to get rid of Erwin first. He knew very well that Erwin could be said to be Susan's spiritual support. As long as Erwin died, Susan would never be his. opponent. As soon as Erwin recovered from Susan's amazing archery skills, he saw Osmond getting up from the ground, and then his body disappeared towards him again. In a split second, with almost no need to think, Erwin suddenlyThrowing himself to the side, he knew that his current vision was not as good as Susan's. Even if he released the [Detection] skill, his dynamic vision was not enhanced and he could not capture Osmond's movements at all, so in Osmond When Meng disappeared, Erwin threw himself to the side just subconsciously. Just when Erwin jumped away from the spot, there was a "bang" sound from behind, and Osmond's disappearing figure flew over a distance of more than ten meters to where Erwin was originally standing. At this position, the Black Rose Blade in his hand was swung forward, forming a fan-shaped black sword light, which suddenly struck the tree where Erwin was leaning against the tree where they were hugging each other. The sharp black sword blade cut directly through the tree, cutting off the dead bark and the tough tree structure. Only a cracking sound was heard. The giant tree hugged by two people was cut off from the middle by Osmond. The upper half of the tree, which was nearly ten meters high, and the crown slowly fell backwards, directly crushing it. Many small trees nearby hit the ground with a loud "bang". Osmond pulled out the Black Rose Blade from the tree with force, turned around to face Erwin who fell next to him, stepped hard on his feet again, and rushed forward. Before Erwin had time to turn around, he heard the movement from behind and knew that Osmond's attack had landed on the big tree. Then there was a clear sound of breaking through the air, and Erwin moved directly to the side. Roll, the body rolled into the grass. There was a "crash" sound, and Osmond was like a rampaging saw blade, plowing a deep mark directly on the snow, cutting past Erwin, and the black rose blade was driven by him It formed a continuous piece, like a black silk cloth, cutting all the trees and grass along the way in half. Erwin dodged Osmond's second impact. He quickly got up from the ground. Looking back, he happened to see Osmond passing through the woods, and then suddenly stopped in front of a tree. Then he slowly turned around and looked at Erwin. At this moment, a glimmer of understanding appeared in Erwin's heart. He could see that Osmond's strength and speed had completely reached the level of the second level of the Rank Gate. If he were a gamer, he would probably be Equivalent to level 15 strength. However, at this level, there is only strength and speed. Osmond's reaction ability and his control ability are far from reaching the level that can match the strength and speed. This is why every impact of Osmond It was in a straight line. After being dodged by Erwin, he could not make changes quickly. He could only stop and change direction, which was a thankless method, because he had sacrificed his flexibility in order to obtain extremely fast speed. Because of their nature, they cannot change directions at will during a rapid sprint, otherwise they will lose control of their bodies due to excessive inertia. After all, Osmond's current body is not his real body. Although it is wrapped by the cursed power, that is, the black mist, his current body is the body of a completely different person, Rex, so the body is The control of movements is definitely not enough. Osmond has not transformed Rex's body. Judging from the past hundred years of resurrection, if Osmond wants to achieve a complete resurrection, he must meet the conditions for the two aspects to be completely integrated into one. At first, Osmond chose Gajeel. In addition to his own lack of strength, there was also the reason why Gajeel was easier to transform - he first transformed Gajeel's body so that he could fully match Osmond's strength. , and then merge with his spirit to become one, so that complete resurrection can be achieved. Rex's body has not been modified, so it does not match Osmond's power. The only match is in the mental aspect. This results in Osmond's lack of control over Rex's body. situation. So when Erwin discovered this, his mind was already spinning and he quickly found a way to fight back. Osmond stopped sprinting and turned around again, facing Erwin. He originally thought that Erwin would definitely turn around and run away, or at least find a bunker to hide first, but he didn't expect that after Erwin got up from the ground, he would still stay where he was, facing him, and then be hit again. After so many attacks, he still wanted to continue fighting with him. "Your fighting spirit surprises me young man." Osmond praised from the bottom of his heart, "Under such unfavorable circumstances, you can still maintain courage and confidence. This is an excellent quality that many people do not possess. I'm really curious about where you developed such outstanding qualities and strong spirit. Erwin didn't answer, but kept his eyes wide open, watching Osmond's every move. In the eye socket where the arrow was shot, black mist was leaking from it, and then disappeared into the air like coiled and twisted snakes. This situation was just like Erwin's first encounter in the Shadow Mountains.Just like the monsters like the Forgotten, after the armor is penetrated through the gap, this black mist-like thing will also leak out from the inside. Strictly speaking, Osmond, the great demon that has been cursed for a hundred years, is actually They are the same species as the low-level monsters like the Forgotten. The only difference is that one is high-level and the other is low-level. Seeing that Erwin did not answer his words, Osmond did not care, but continued: "Although your quality is surprising, sometimes courage and self-confidence alone are not enough, only strength is The most important thing is that without strength, you can't do anything with faith alone, and it will only make people laugh. As soon as Osmond finished speaking, his whole body sprinted again, and the speed instantly exceeded what the naked eye can capture. But this time, Erwin did not throw himself aside or roll away. The moment Osmond's body started to move, Erwin rushed forward in Osmond's direction. , the Zantetsu Sword thrust forward suddenly, and instantly released the skill [Triangle Continuous Slash]. With three swipes, Erwin's Zantetsu Sword instantly drew three lines of silver sword light, forming in the air. A long and narrow triangular sword light was thrust forward. The tip of this triangular sword light was also the most powerful one in the triangle's continuous slashing. It crossed with the oncoming black sword light, one black and one silver. The sword lights seemed to collide with each other, and they seemed to penetrate each other. The two sword lights seemed to be shattered into countless pieces like glass shattered by a hammer, and each became shattered and disappeared into the air. The bodies of Erwin and Osmond also passed each other in mid-air. Erwin sprinted forward for a few steps and then staggered to a stop. Behind him, Osmond's body also teleported. Reappeared. With a "poof" sound, a wound suddenly burst open on Erwin's shoulder, and blood spurted out. On the other side, Osmond turned around in disbelief, next to his ribs and abdomen. , a long and narrow wound has completely pierced the black armor on his body, and black mist is continuously leaking from the wound. "This is impossible, he actually dodged it, and he was able to fight back and hurt me. " Osmond suffered almost twice the severe pain, and couldn't help but stretch out a hand to cover the wound on his abdomen. However, this injury was not the same as that of ordinary people. It would not squirm due to muscle contraction like ordinary people, and The viscosity of the blood itself will have the effect of stopping bleeding after it solidifies. The black mist leaking from Osmond's wound cannot be stopped at all, and it flows rapidly from the palms of his hands and the gaps between his fingers. He was filled with disbelief, as if he had been shot over by Susan just now. For a moment, he couldn't understand how Erwin, who had been passively beaten, could hurt him by turning around. Feeling the severe pain, Erwin gritted his teeth and endured it, then turned around and met Osment's disbelieving gaze. "How did you do it? With your strength, speed, and reflexes, it's simply impossible to dodge my attack. "Osmond couldn't help but ask. Erwin smiled but did not speak. Instead, he continued to raise the iron sword in his hand. He was not an idiot. How could the counterattack method that he finally came up with be so simple? Just telling the opponent is actually not a powerful method. Osmond's speed is so fast that he can hardly control it, so when he starts to sprint, he will first use the Black Rose in his hand. The blade was set at the angle at which he wanted to attack. Even if he wanted to change it midway, he could only make a small change. And Erwin had his sights set on this place. The moment Osmond disappeared, he made it. Memorizing the angle of Osmond's Black Rose Blade, when they were charging towards each other, Erwin didn't just rush forward stupidly, but made changes during the sprint to let his body hide. Open the angle of the Black Rose Blade and move the Zantetsu Sword to the straight line area where Osmond sprints. Erwin does not need to attack, Osmond himself will directly hit the Zantetsu Sword. Erwin only needed to hold on to the hilt of the sword tightly to prevent the Zantetsu Sword from being knocked out. The injury on his shoulder was only due to a slight error in estimating Osmond's speed, and it was not very serious. On the other hand, the armor worn by Osmond is also a very famous Noble Phantasm-level equipment. Erwin¡¯s own strength alone, coupled with the iron sword, may not be able to break through the defense, but this attack It was Osmund himself who hit him at an extremely fast speed. The one with the greater power to pierce the armor was actually Osmund himself. Seeing Erwin not answering, Osmund took a deep breath. With a breath, he held the Black Rose Blade in both hands and rushed toward Erwin again. He didn't believe that with his strength and speed that far exceeded Erwin, he could successfully counterattack Erwin again.He opened his eyes wide and quickly locked onto the angle and position of Osmond's Black Rose Blade at the moment when he disappeared. The body also rushed forward. Erwin quickly changed his movements and completely avoided Osmond's Black Rose Blade. At the same time, he stabbed forward with the Zantetsu Sword and released the [Heavy Attack] skill. The two sword lights, one black and one silver, penetrated each other again, just like switching between night and day, and the bodies of the two people also crossed each other again, and then stopped sprinting at the same time. This time, Erwin didn't have any injuries on his body. He completely estimated Osmond's speed and strength correctly and completely avoided his attack. Osmond's body swayed, and he turned around. Not only was there a long and narrow wound under his ribs near his abdomen, but there was also another new wound on his shoulder, and black mist quickly emerged from it. leaked out. "I finally understand your counterattack method." Osmond whispered.
