"I finally understand your counterattack method." Osmond said in a low voice. Erwin did not have any surprises. This is a very normal situation. After all, Osmond has lived for so many years. In terms of extensive knowledge, he is much higher than Erwin. What's more, Osmond is still in the Rose Dynasty. The grand duke, the silver knight who led the army to create a powerful dynasty, Erwin could imagine it, but Osmond had no reason not to. But in this way, Osmond will no longer be able to use the speed that he is proud of, because without the corresponding control and reaction ability, he has forced too much speed on his body and has become a double Blades, while bringing powerful advantages, can also make you injured and restrained. From another perspective, if Osmond no longer uses his speed, then the counterattack method that Erwin finally came up with will lose its due effect. He will once again be at a disadvantage, because Osmond Not only is Simon's speed, his strength has also completely reached the second level of the Rank Gate. In terms of physical fitness alone, he must be more powerful than Erwin. "Just understand. You have to understand that I am not a lamb to be slaughtered, and you are not the hunter with the upper hand. Maybe you can kill me easily, but you will definitely pay a price far beyond your imagination." Erwin said again He raised his sword and pointed at Osmond. "Yes, you are right. I was really too careless just now. I looked down on that little girl's archery skills. As a result, she blinded one eye with an arrow. I looked down on your strength, but I didn't expect to take advantage of it. Even if you have an advantage, you will be injured by your counterattack." Osmond shrugged, holding the Black Rose Blade with both hands, and his only remaining eye was fixed on Erwin: "Young man, I admit that you are a qualified opponent. Next, I will use all my strength to fight you, but don't let me down." As soon as he finished speaking, Osmond's whole body changed again. Rushing forward from the spot, the figure did not disappear instantly, but turned into a fast-moving blur. This time, his speed was not as fast as before, but it still remained above the standard, which is quite close to By lowering the speed to the second level of the Rank Gate, although Osmond lost this advantage, he gained complete control over his body. He was able to do whatever he wanted while moving at high speed. Take any action or attack. The pupils in Erwin's eyes shrank to the size of needlepoints in an instant. He had released the [Detection] skill, and his vision was greatly enhanced. As he tried his best to operate, the surrounding scene seemed to become blurry. When he got up, only Osmond's sprinting body became clear, without any blur at all. I saw it, I saw his movements. Erwin gritted his teeth and took a step forward. He twisted both wrists, and the sword in his hand immediately started spinning and flying, stabbing forward irregularly like a swimming dragon. Osmond passed the distance between the two sides in the blink of an eye. He simply swung the Black Rose Blade in his hand, and the black blade formed a long and narrow fan-shaped sword light. In the collision of the black sword light and the silver sword light, Black The Rose Blade rubbed against the blade of the Zantetsu Sword, causing a series of dazzling sparks and harsh sounds. Osmond controlled the Black Rose Blade and slashed downwards towards Erwin's neck and chest. , Erwin's iron-cutting sword turned around and passed the blockage of the Black Rose Blade. The sharp sword tip drew a semicircular arc and stabbed Osmund's ribs from bottom to top. In his pupils and vision, a black sword light flashed past. While keeping his weapon unchanged, Erwin tried his best to lean his body to the side in an attempt to avoid the attack of the Black Rose Blade. Osmond relied on The armor on his body ignored the attack of Erwin's Iron Sword at all, but continued to press forward, twisting his wrist hard, changing the attack angle and range of the Black Rose Blade, and continued to move towards Erwin's avoiding body. Chase. There was a stabbing sound, and accompanied by the sound of gold and iron, the two bodies passed each other, like two rays of light, one black and one silver, penetrating again. Osmond's Black Rose Blade slashed across Erwin's shoulder and neck, leaving two deep and long wounds. Blood splashed out as the black blade slashed, warm blood After the beads left the body, they were quickly chilled by the extremely low temperature. They splashed on the black sword, and were thrown to the side by the powerful force attached to it. Then they flew away far away and landed not far away. On the pure white snow, dazzling and bright red blood flowers formed. Erwin felt a sudden chill in his shoulders and neck, and then severe pain was transmitted from the wound, and the black rose blade scratched across the wound quickly intensified the severe pain. However, the large amount of hormone called adrenaline secreted by the body has greatly enhanced Erwin's endurance. His speed, strength, reaction ability and control ability have also been greatly enhanced. If at this time Erwin If you can click on your own game system and check your character's attributes, you will be able to see that your comprehensive attributes will rise rapidly at 13.It later became 14, and finally stayed at 15, which was quite close to Osmond's physical fitness at this time. Erwin endured the pain and continued to thrust the Zantetsu Sword forward with all his strength. The sharp sword tip pierced the armor on Osmond's chest, and then was partially offset by the smooth armor, moving from the chest to the shoulders. The place slid up and up. Seeing that this blow was going to be useless, Erwin shouted and thrust forward with all his strength. If it had been before, then his strength alone might not have been able to hurt Osmond. However, now, under the influence of adrenaline, Erwin's strength quickly climbed to a level close to Osmond. In addition, both sides With the force of the collision, Erwin stabbed with all his strength, causing a tearing sound. The sharp sword tip suddenly pierced Osmund's armor and penetrated into his shoulder, completely tearing the entire shoulder. Pierced through, a sword blade pierced hard from the back. Osmond let out an angry roar, grasped the Zantetsu Sword tightly with his other hand, and at the same time swung the Black Rose Blade in his hand, about to chop off Erwin's head. Erwin did not dodge, he held the Zantetsu Sword tightly with both hands and pushed hard, directly pushing back Osmund's forward momentum, and then pushed back with all his strength. Osmond's downward swiping movement was directly interrupted. He was pushed back by Erwin and slammed into a big tree, directly nailing him to the tree. The double pain made Osmond Meng Ji wanted to go crazy. He swung the Black Rose Blade and slashed downwards, but Erwin dodged it. He immediately raised his foot and kicked Erwin directly. Have to fall back. Erwin did not let go of the Zantetsu Sword in his hand. When he was kicked away, he also pulled out the Zantetsu Sword from Osmond's body. Osman was dragged forward by the Zantetsu Sword and fell to half-kneeling on the ground. He used one hand and the Black Rose Blade to support the ground to prevent him from falling. Black mist began to flow from the front of Osmond's shoulders and back. Swarming out of the above two wounds, plus the wounds under the eyes and under the ribs, a steady stream of black mist leaked from Osmond's body, and then disappeared. This black mist is the power of the curse, and it is Osmond. The essence of existence is also equivalent to his blood. Once the black mist passes too much, it is equivalent to a person losing too much blood. Then it is difficult to say whether Osmond can maintain his current state. Erwin was kicked away by Osmond and hit a big tree not far away. Then he fell hard to the ground. However, at this time, his spirit was extremely high, although his injuries were serious. It was huge, but it quickly climbed up from the ground as if it was not affected by anything. On the other side, Osmond also stood up from the ground, and the two faced each other again. The wounds on Erwin's neck and shoulders were still bleeding out continuously. While he was wary of Osmond, he stretched out his hand to grab a handful of snow from the nearby bushes, and then applied it to the wounds forcefully, intending to use cold water to The snow freezes the wound to stop bleeding. "The wound on Osmond's side cannot be stopped with snow. He has no means to stop the black mist from flowing out of the wound. However, Osmond didn't seem to care about this. Not only Erwin, Osmond had also completely immersed himself in this battle. He was surprised by Erwin's fighting power. He became more and more brave as he fought. His fighting power seemed to be He quickly improved and grew up in the battle. It seemed that in just a few battles, Erwin went from being passively beaten at the beginning to now being evenly matched with Osmund. Osmond was extremely surprised, and at the same time extremely looking forward to it. He hoped that Erwin could give him a complete surprise. In the four rebirths over the past 400 years, Osmond's opponents each time were super strong men from the sixth or seventh level, and sometimes even the eighth level. Each one of them was stronger than Osmond. Many, but every time they defeated him, they paid a huge price. And an enemy at the first level of the Gate like Erwin has almost never happened before. What makes Osment even more incredible is that this young enemy can actually force him into this situation. Although Osmund's current power is not in full state, Erwin has already started to stop Osmund from the beginning when he possessed Gajeel. The battle between the two is not just this one, but in In the previous battles, although Osmond was unwilling to give in, he had to admit that he had always failed. "Come on, let me see what kind of surprise you can give me." Osmond shouted, his body sprinted towards Erwin again, and he quickly waved the Black Rose Blade in his hand, bringing up pieces of Black fan-shaped sword light. Super-speed slashing, super-powerful force, like a bulldozer, all the grass and trees wherever Osmond passed were completely shattered by the black sword light and turned into dust and debris. Facing such a terrifying scene, Erwin had no fear at all;He gritted his teeth and rushed forward, the Zantetsu Sword turning into streaks of bright silver sword light in his hands. With a comprehensive attribute close to 15, Erwin was not much worse than Osmond in any aspect, fighting Experience and combat skills are equally comparable. The two collided with each other in an instant. The black sword light and the silver sword light mixed with each other, forming a black and white aperture, which completely enveloped the two people. Countless energies and ripples quickly followed. It exploded and splashed out, and the surrounding trees, grass, and snow were all chopped up and then swept away. The harsh sound of gold and iron was like a battlefield, and the sharp sound waves and vibrations were enough to completely tear the eardrums of ordinary people. In the fierce battle, blood and black mist were constantly splashing out. Erwin's body was covered with dense wounds, and the blood flowing from them was enough to completely dye his whole body red. On the other side, Osmond's black armor also had many large and small gaps, and black mist continued to disappear and fly out of these gaps. Osmond deflected Erwin's sword that stabbed his chest, and then threw out a black sword light, but just as his sword light just appeared, another black sword light also stabbed from the other direction. Come, two attacks attack Erwin from one left and one right at the same time. Just when Erwin was dazed and wanted to resist, another black sword light appeared from above, and a fourth black sword light also appeared from below. At the same time, four sword lights rolled toward Erwin. This is the attribute effect of Osmund's Black Rose Blade. Just like Erwin's Iron Sword has the attribute effect of sharpness and armor-piercing, Osmond's Black Rose Blade also has attribute effects. The attribute effect of his Noble Phantasm-level weapon is phantom - that is, when attacking, it can create three identical phantom sword lights at the same time, plus a real one, which adds up to four sword lights. Only one of these four sword lights is real, but the four look exactly the same. Even if you don't use your eyes to see, you can hear the four simultaneous sounds of breaking through the air in your ears, and you can also feel the four in your senses. Sharp killing intent swarmed up. Erwin was forced to reveal his flaws by Osmond's move in an instant. He quickly waved his Zantetsu Sword to block two attacks, but the remaining two attacks all hit his body. Among the four black sword lights, only the top one is the real Black Rose Blade. If Erwin guesses wrong, he will have to pay a heavy price. The black sword light slashed from top to bottom from Erwin's chest, leaving a hideous wound longer than his arm, and countless blood swarmed out. Erwin groaned, and his whole body was knocked backwards by the sword. The black and silver halo formed by the battle between the two immediately disappeared as Erwin fell. Erwin was still in the air, but Osmond would not let such an opportunity go in vain and directly used his feet. He stepped hard on the ground, sprinted forward, and chased after him. He swung the Black Rose Blade down, intending to continue to strike Erwin's body. At this moment, continuous screams came from the woods. Susan, who had been silent after shooting Osmond out of one eye, finally took action at this time. Dozens of bullets were connected together. Bows and arrows flew through the gaps between the trees and trees, all aimed at Osmond's vitals. Osmond had already been shocked by Susan's amazing archery skills. He had the mentality of being afraid of the well rope once bitten by a snake for ten years. At this time, seeing dozens of bows and arrows coming, he immediately gave up his pursuit of Erwin. Thoughts, he directly waved the Black Rose Blade, knocking down all the incoming bows and arrows and cutting them into pieces. Taking advantage of the time Susan bought himself, Erwin finally adjusted his posture from the air, stepped on the ground, and stopped falling backwards. Osmond's sword seemed to have injured Erwin's internal organs, almost disemboweling him and killing him directly. Erwin couldn't help but vomit a large mouthful of blood, but he did not breathe for a moment. He continued to kick his feet hard and rushed towards Osmond again. Erwin is not reckless. Even after the battle until now, his mind is extremely calm and his thinking is clear enough. He has not lost his ability to think due to excitement or the pain of his wounds. The reason why Erwin insists on fighting is that he knows that his body is absolutely no match for Osmond. Even though Osmond is constantly leaking black mist from his body, this is nothing more than a sand in the Ganges to his overall strength. , it will not have such a serious impact at all. After all, Erwin's body is still a human being. Excessive blood loss will also lead to loss of strength and coma. He doesn't have much time to delay. He must kill Osmond in one fell swoop when he can still control his strength. . When Osment knocked away all the bows and arrows shot by Susan, Erwin had already rushed towards him again, and the distance between the two quickly narrowed. "You are too reckless young man. It seems that the disadvantage has gone to your head. In the end, I won." Osmond sneered, raised the Black Rose Blade high again, and swung it down at Erwin. , and this time, he once again displayed the attribute effect phantom of the Black Rose Blade. The black sword light immediately split into four when Osmond swung it down, like a cell dividing, instantly forming four black sword lights up, down, left and right. Osment has already seen that with Erwin's current speed and reaction ability, he can only resist two black sword lights at the same time. When the four sword lights were slashing towards him, Erwin just held the Zantetsu Sword tightly with both hands and ignored the four sword lights. Instead, he stabbed Osmond directly in the chest. At the same time, he He also activated the cooled-down skill [Shadow Sword] in an instant. A huge force immediately penetrated Erwin's two arms, and then passed to the Zhantetsu Sword. The silver sword light immediately turned into a torrent of sword blades.
