Facing the dazzling sunlight, Thorne, who fell from the tower, walked silently on the land of Twilight Town alone.

After the melee, the blood-soaked soil on the ground was very loose. Every time he took a step, he would leave a shallow footprint. The depth of each footprint was exactly the same, and the distance between each footstep was exactly the same.

Thorne stepped over a boulder that smashed a hobgoblin's head to smithereens, stomped on a pile of acid-corroded ashes, and walked past an ogre corpse ravaged by ferocious vultures and left with nothing but bones .

Smelling the smell of corpse in the air that seemed to never dissipate, he bowed his head slightly, lowered his hood as much as possible without affecting his vision, and then walked slowly and carelessly.

He seemed to be walking casually, but he was secretly mobilizing the energy of Qi in his body.

At this moment, under the blessing of the Desert Wind Sect's strengthening technique "Fengxing", his hands and feet were surrounded by a soft, warm and almost invisible fire element.

This is a move that uses the power of the fire element to reduce air resistance and increase his own movement speed, which can make his attacks faster and deadlier.

The goblin wizard Malvasia once gave him a book on how to use the power of chi.

In fact, the real function of this book is to allow him to flexibly control the power of the moves when launching various moves.

Just like the fire-type moves of the desert wind faction, he can reduce the power of the skill in order to increase the casting speed of the skill, and it can also slow down the casting speed in order to increase the power of the move.

Therefore, at this moment, when he pushes the strengthening technique "Fengxing" to the extreme, it is the time when the coordination of his body and limbs is adjusted to the peak.

Then he would stop immediately, because that would be where a Hobgoblin warrior would have died.

As Thorne slowly moved forward, the distance between him and the Hobgoblin warrior was getting closer and closer.

As he was walking, Thorne suddenly stopped, and saw that his legs were shoulder-width apart, his left foot stepped forward casually, his toes pointed directly at the Hobgoblin warrior who came not far away, and his right foot Then gently rotate it out 45 degrees.

When Thorne's knees bent slightly, his right hand involuntarily touched the hilt of the sword.

Step, reach, rotate, bow slightly.

This is the starting position of the strike technique "Ejection Slash" in the Sword Art of the Gunsoul School.

The reason why he did this was not because he wanted to launch this move, but just because the starting position of "Ejection Slash" with instant force could make his speed very relaxed and smooth, which was more conducive to his next attack.

Thorne stared intently at the hobgoblin warrior who was approaching him, at the hobgoblin's striking red nose, the bright red armor with black stripes, and the brightly maintained weapons in his hands.

Gradually, Thorne's body tensed sharply as the little muscles in his body bulged like hills.

At this time, he could clearly feel that every muscle on his skeleton had been adjusted to the most suitable fighting state.

The walking hobgoblin warrior seemed to have noticed something, and his footsteps paused abruptly, so that the heavy steel boots left a deep footprint on the soft soil.

As a burly and sturdy Hobgoblin warrior, the shadow not far away is undoubtedly very short in his eyes, and his thin body wrapped in a black cloak looks only slightly stronger than an elf.

But the hobgoblin warrior with a keen intuition saw an atmosphere full of power from the shadow.

He also saw unshakable self-confidence in the sharp eyes that only showed on his face.

This confidence is not the overly brittle conceit of the arrogant elves he slaughtered, but the cold aura of the superiority that seems to have experienced countless battles but rarely been defeated.

Therefore, he began to hesitate a little, so that his footsteps slowed down involuntarily.

Although the figure not far away made him feel deep fear, but as a child of the Almighty, he is not afraid of death, and the honor and military rank brought in the war are his pursuit.

Thorne looked at the hobgoblin warrior who was holding the shield and holding the sword vigilantly forward. His expression did not fluctuate. He just held his hand on the hilt, feeling the flames surrounding the Mofeng Sword, and waited quietly. The Hobgoblin reached his attack range, and then let him honorably join the Almighty's army on the Shura field.

The heavy boots of Hobgoblin warriors left deep footprints on the blood-soaked ground.

As he approached the ranger's attack range, Thorne's already tensed body flashed past the ground like a shadow of death.

——“Steel Soul School (Strike Skill): Jade Slash!”

With the sound of sharp blades slicing through flesh and blood, bright blood lines appeared on the necks of the Hobgoblin warriors.

Feeling the severe pain and scorching pain in the neck, the hobgoblin warrior turned to look at the shadow who had just sheathed his sword beside him, his pale yellow eyes filled with disbelief.

Immediately afterwards, he subconsciously dropped the weapon in his hand and covered the bleeding wound on his neck with both hands, trying in vain to stop the bleeding.

It's a pity that the scarlet blood rolled mercilessly down his fingers, infecting his dark red striped armor with enthusiasm, and his heavy body was gradually walking away with the soft sound of 'thumping'. into the darkness of death.

On the tower that was as silent as death in Twilight Town, Sarayan retracted his gaze and looked at the half-drow assassin standing beside him watching the battle: "Holat, did you see Thorne's actions clearly?"

A Tier 3 Hobgoblin warrior was killed in one blow, and it was so neat, so neat that he didn't have time to see the entire battle.

"The moment he flashed in front of the Hobgoblin warrior, I saw an almost invisible orange fire on him, and he seemed to feel the breath of the fire element." Horat pondered for a while and looked at Thorne figure, smacking his tongue.

Looking at the dead hobgoblin warrior, Thorne took a deep breath and calmed down his heartbeat that had been pulsing violently from the moment of movement just now.

Obviously, this instant-kill move requires not only a strong speed, but also a strong physique.

And the reason why he was able to create a clean and neat effect, in addition to the "Fengxing" that he used the energy of Qi to suddenly increase to the extreme, also relied on the seven-ring magic "Unicorn" blessed by the Druid Silver Crow Messenger. heart of".

Without this magical technique that increases his agility, strength, and physique by 4 points, his body would most likely collapse the moment it was activated.

Of course, there is also one of the most critical factors, which is the Steel Soul Sect's strike skill "Jade Slash".

[Jade Slash (Strike Skill): Your understanding of combat, your finely honed spirit, and your ability to carefully observe your opponent's movements have turned you into a deadly combat force. When you concentrate, you can instantly find the weak point in the target's defense and deliver the most powerful blow. 】

"Jade Slash" is the second-level move of the Steel Soul faction, and it is a relatively good sword move in one-on-one duels.

However, the power of this move completely requires the support of high-level "focus" skills.

Without the concentration to see everything, it takes a long time to find the target's weakness, and in the fleeting battle, it seems pale and powerless.

This is also the main reason why he chooses to allocate all skill points to the "focus" skill every time he upgrades his level.
