This elf is strange

Chapter 63 This elf is strange

"Mogo-Kshaka!"

'

"Mogo-Kshaka!"

'

"Mogo-Kshaka!"

'

Amidst waves of shouts of "Mogo-Kshaka," Gorak pulled his heavy axe from the ground, lightly tapped his shield to shake off the dirt, and assumed an offensive shield-fighting stance.

Lorne also raised his shield and sword, striking the same pose.

The moment both were in position, Gorac lowered his body, pushed off the ground with both feet, and charged towards Lorne with his shield raised.

At the same time, Lorne charged towards his opponent with his shield raised in the same posture.

This is a tradition of orc shield warriors in gladiatorial combat. At the start, both sides use [Charge] to clash their shields, competing in pure strength.

boom!

A dull thud followed the impact of the two shields colliding and exploding. The immense shockwave traveled through the shield-wielding arms and spread throughout the body, creating fleeting ripples of flesh.

The orcs who were excitedly shouting just a second ago fell silent instantly, as if a bucket of ice had been poured over their heads while they were boiling water.

Several orcs standing in the front row of the audience couldn't help but rub their eyes and watch it again.

Upon seeing the Shadow Demon, Gorac, who was much larger and weighed more than twice as much as the elf, was actually knocked back.

He retreated three steps!

In the center of the arena, Lorne gently shook his left arm, which was still numb from the impact, and quickly analyzed and assessed the situation in his mind.

Hmm, this Gorac's strength should be around 24 points, which is 4 points lower than mine.

In terms of agility, judging from the speed at which he can deflect force and stabilize his body, his score is around 12, which is about 16 points lower than mine.

In terms of constitution, warriors gain 15 health points per level, so at level 14 they gain 210. The remaining 90 ÷ 5 equals 18 points.

Their overall strength is not bad; helping me develop [Battle Will] shouldn't be a problem.

The biggest challenge now is that this guy is a warrior who can 'slay'.

[Execute] (Warrior Level 1)

When you use a slashing weapon, you can perform a melee slash with "Heavy Attack Strength +1" with a single combat skill.

When you deal a critical hit to a creature smaller than yourself, that creature must make a Constitution saving throw or it will die instantly.

~~~

When you strike a creature that is the same size as or larger than you, if that creature's lifespan is less than (class level + strength modifier) ​​× 5, the creature must make a Constitution saving throw or die instantly.

If the creature that is hit is smaller than you and has less than (class level + strength modifier) ​​× 5, you will lose your advantage or be at a disadvantage on a Constitution saving throw.

Difficulty of exemption = 10 + Strength adjustment value.

Gorac's warrior level is 14, his strength modifier is 7, and he has a chance to kill any creature with less than 105 health by landing a critical hit.

I'm using a substitute body, which only has 10% of the maximum health of my real body, or 25 points.

If you are hit hard by the opponent, you will definitely have to use a kill immunity.

There's no need for a kill; it's instant.

豁免难度是17，我的体质调整值是9，1d20至少要投出8点以上。

To put it more simply, if Gorac lands a critical hit, there's a 35% chance he'll instantly kill me.

Lorne's intelligence was as high as 28 points, and he completed the above analysis in the blink of an eye.

? ?

Having regained his footing, Gorac watched Lorne warily, refraining from launching a rash attack.

Why didn't you press your advantage when your opponent was clearly stronger?

Gorac didn't know that Lorne had come here to force him into a desperate situation to unleash his potential and cultivate [Battle Will], so after thinking about it, he concluded that "this elf is deliberately toying with me and making me lose face."

Roar!

Gorac roared and launched another attack on Lorne.

Lorne also reflexively assumed a [defensive stance + shield warrior stance].

Gorac raised his shield and swung it toward Lorne's face. Lorne instinctively tried to raise his shield to block, but noticed something amiss a frame before the attack.

When he swung his shield, the heavy axe in his other hand was hidden behind his back.

It was a feint attack! He was trying to trick me into raising my shield to protect my head, thus obscuring my vision while exposing my abdomen.

With a powerful intuition, he instantly saw through the opponent's intentions and immediately switched to [guerrilla stance], changing the action of raising his shield to block to retreating and dodging.

Almost simultaneously, Gorac suddenly changed tactics, lunging forward and pressing down, while the heavy axe hidden behind him prepared to slash upwards at an angle.

Lorne felt a gust of wind sweep across his abdomen and hips, followed by a chill penetrating his body.

Looking down, he saw a gash in his clothes at the abdomen, ripped open by the giant axe.

Thank goodness, if I had been a frame later, I would have been disemboweled.

If it had been two frames later, it would have been cut in half.

After feeling relieved, Lorne immediately began to feel regret.

If things had been a frame or two later, I might have been able to unleash my full potential and learn [Fighting Spirit] and [Action Like a Tide].

Unfortunately, his agility and perception were too high, allowing him to anticipate and react in advance, preventing him from being cornered by his opponent.

Tsk, it seems that having too many attributes isn't all a good thing.

If that's the case, won't it become increasingly difficult for me to practice professions other than [Martial Artist] and [Psionicist] in the future?

No, that's not right. It should only be difficult for classes like warriors and paladins who need to overcome desperate situations.

For classes like mages, mechanics, and alchemists who rely on their brains, higher attributes should make leveling up easier.

Damn, now's not the time to think about that. Focus on the battle.

Lorne instantly cleared his mind of distractions and turned his attention back to the present moment.

Gorac swung his axe and missed, offering no follow-up attack. Not because he didn't want to, but because his posture wouldn't allow it.

Lorne seized the opportunity, switching to gladiator stance the instant his retreat and dodge ended, and charged forward, thrusting his sword straight at Gorac's face.

With a sharp clang, Gorac parried the sword with his shield at the last second.

Lorne did not continue attacking, but instead created a safe distance, giving Gorak time to get up and regroup.

There shouldn't be any orc more powerful than Gorac here. He won't kill him until he masters [Battle Will] and [Action Like a Tide].

The orc stared warily at Lorne, slowly stood up, took a few steps back to widen the distance, and regrouped.

"Elf, you are very strong," Gorac said gruffly.

"Thank you, you're very good too," Lorne replied in Orcish.

As he spoke, his gaze swept over Gorac's body, comparing him to the Zaku.

Level 7 Gladiator, Level 7 Shield Warrior, two levels higher in Shield Warrior training than the Zaku, it should be easier to use.

Gorac's perception wasn't high, but he still felt a chill run down his spine from Lorne's gaze.

That look reminded him of a terrible memory.

It was during an exploration of the underground ruins of the Old World that he encountered an evil underground dwarf.

The guy said his body was perfect for becoming an alchemical monster, and proudly showed off his so-called alchemical masterpiece.

Even though Mogoshaka had chopped the dwarf into mincemeat, he still occasionally had that nightmare.

The sense of danger emanating from the elf before him was more than a hundred times greater than that from the underground dwarf.

Fear transformed into pressure that rapidly accumulated in Gorak's mind, affecting his tactical decisions.

We can't afford to waste any more time; this elf is stronger and more agile than me.

Although I couldn't tell what profession this elf was, he was definitely holding back on purpose and playing tricks on me.

This is an opportunity I must seize. Before he gets serious, I must strike unexpectedly and kill him in one fell swoop!
