Vanguard of the Eternal Night (BL)(Complete)

Chapter 95

Chapter 95 - Provincial Competition - Reaper End

It was foggy in the bamboo forest, and the reaper's figure was like an invisible cloud that floated silently towards Odin as he stood there on the shrine.

Odin made his move at the same time, but he didn't head towards his enemy. Instead, he leapt up into the sky--

A series of darts were shot out into the air like blossoms scattered by heavenly maidens, landing at random onto the ground.

The time between these actions was very short, but it was long enough for Duke to see the distribution of these darts and dodge them. He narrowly avoided a dart and went straight for Odin, who had nowhere to borrow leverage from.

As he approached the limits of his attack range, his black scythe had already vaguely locked onto Odin's forehead.

In this instant, Odin suddenly moved--

As the scythe approached, Odin pulled out his short sword and clashed against it!

The scythe paused slightly after a crisp clanging sound, but Odin hadn't only pulled out his short sword for the fight. He used that instant of engagement as leverage--

"Windmill combo!" The female commentator yelled, "He obviously can't see Duke clearly. How can he be so accurate with his blades?"

The male commentator praised emotionally, "Odin's strategy is so beautiful! He first used the steel wires to determine the distance between him and his opponent, and the darts forced Duke to move. If calculated properly, it can indeed allow him to use his blades to fight--this wave of operations simply left Duke with no way to defend against it!"

.

Duke had indeed been caught off guard, but he was quick to react and immediately dived back into the shadows.

The black scythe that had originally almost landed on Odin's face disappeared instantly. In the blink of an eye, it reappeared behind him, its trajectory aimed at cutting into his back.

When faced with an abrupt change in the middle of an attack, the average person would require a certain amount of time to reconfirm the direction of the new attack--just like how many people would look back as they run away despite it being an action that actually slowed down their escape.

And, this was the best opportunity for Duke to land his attack.

However, to his shocked horror, Odin didn't look back to confirm his positioning at all!

Odin simply crossed his daggers behind his back to protect himself as much as possible--

Instead of wasting time looking back, he reacted defensively right away!

Only the most experienced melee players could develop such instincts. This level of recognition alone was enough to make Duke's eyelids tick.

.

The scythe landed helplessly on the center of the two crossed blades.

This was because Odin had also correctly estimated Duke's preferred attack location. Everyone who used large, two-handed weapons tended to aim at the middle of the chest, because this was the area with the highest hit rate for them.

Duke had failed to guess any of Odin's moves, but Odin had managed to see through his moves every time.

When this blade was resisted, the male commentator even judged, "This will be difficult for Duke!"
