Tokyo underground city

Chapter 249 Sword Strike

"As promised beforehand, your [Imitation] skill will not work on me."

Seeing Lin Huaien's actions, Vaskov kindly reminded him: "Your spiritual essence has not yet awakened. [Imitation] is to 'imitate' other people's skills by simulating the 'power of destiny' through mental power."

"And as long as it is the 'Power of Destiny', I can [synchronize], and your [imitation] consumption will be doubled!"

"But your [synchronization] also has shortcomings."

Lin Huai'en snorted softly. He felt a little resentful after being pressed down and beaten for a long time.

But he quickly adjusted his mentality: "As long as my [imitation] completes the 'simulation', I can use it at any time according to my own ideas."

"But your [Synchronization] can only use the same skill when the object uses its ability. In other words, as long as I don't use [Shadow Stealth], even if you want to use [Shadow Stealth] to avoid me Even the attack can’t be done!”

"You're right." Vaskov nodded without much surprise: "So, how do you plan to crack my [synchronization]?"

"Of course... a swordsmanship competition."

Lin Huaien took a deep breath and opened his posture.

He didn't use [Sword Theory]. In fact, he didn't do anything except raise the Gray Wrath in his hand.

"...Swordsmanship? It is indeed an ability that I cannot [synchronize]."

Vaskov shook his head and sighed:

"But did you forget that I have a gun?!"

He pulled out the pistol at his waist and fired five bullets at Lin Huai'en.

Almost as soon as Vaskov raised his pistol, Lin Wynn rushed to the side and threw the smoke bomb in his hand.

He had tried "Star Deer Forest" before, and even "Psychic Weapon", Vaskov could simulate it.

Unreasonable to the extreme.

But I don’t know if it’s because he doesn’t have the power of destiny, but Vaskov can’t [synchronize] ordinary bullets and smoke bombs.

Lin Huai'en pulled out "Star Deer Forest" and fired a shot into the smoke, but didn't hit anything.

But he had already expected this result. He put away the shotgun, covered his face with his arm, and rushed into the smoke.

"Bah bang bang!"

Three gunshots rang out, the bullets flying in the direction were bounced off by Wu Ruzhiyu, and Lin Huaien also locked Vaskov's position.

"Slash with anger!"

Huiqing Fury locked the position of the black shadow in front of him and slashed with his knife, but it seemed to hit something hard.

"Iron?! No! It's ice!"

Only then did Lin Huaien see that what he had chopped was an ice sculpture exactly like Vaskov!

"Damn, new [psionic skill]?!"

Lin Huaien reacted immediately.

"Yes, this is my [substitute]."

Just when Lin Huai'en turned around to be alert for the attack from behind, the ice sculpture suddenly stretched out his hand and locked his neck firmly!

"Damn...it's actually alive!"

Lin Huai'en was just about to activate [Shadow Stealth], but was a little surprised to find that he couldn't use the skill!

"This is my third psychic skill [Forbidden Demon]."

The white-robed warrior rushed out of the ice and snow and punched Lin Huai'en hard in the abdomen.

"[Substitute], [Forbidden Demon], and [Synchronization], I used these three tricks to kill countless monsters and explorers."

Vaskov punched Lin Wynn on the cheekbone and then punched him in the abdomen.

Lin Huaien saw stars in his eyes, but he forcibly raised his legs and tightly held Vaskov's neck.

Together with Vaskov's arms, they were all firmly locked together!

"I don't care how many people you kill, but in the suppression space of "White Wolf King", you only have psychic skills to use, and I won't lose to you!"

Lin Huai'en used the Grip of Punishment to summon a healing potion and smashed it into pieces on the ice puppet's shoulder.

He just followed the experience taught in Wilderness House and gave it a try, but he didn't expect it to actually work.

The strong purifying power in the healing potion directly destroyed the ice puppet's arm and freed him.

And Vaskov also tore off the shackles on his legs and rolled away.

"Huh... So even if I don't use any dungeon abilities, I still can't beat you..."

Lin Huai'en gasped and slowly retreated two steps, leaving the attack range of the ice puppet.

"That's right." Vaskov raised his fists, obviously having a good foundation in fighting skills: "Since I have these three abilities, do you think I won't learn hand-to-hand fighting skills?"

"Sambo? Boxing? Or Systema?"

Lin Huaien raised the sword in his hand and guessed at Vaskov's fighting system.

"Mixed martial arts."

However, Vaskov answered Lin Huaien with a name that was somewhat unexpected, but also reasonable.

"Is there no dead ends..."

Lin Huai'en couldn't help but sigh and understood the meaning of this term.

In other words, whether it is boxing, wrestling or ground strangulation, Vaskov has all-round training.

Compared with his bare-handed fighting ability, it is impossible for Lin Huai'en to defeat him.

"How many bullets do you have left?"

Lin Wynn glanced at the Makarov pistol held by Vaskov. Like Vaskov, he had no time to reload.

With the muscle strength of two people, it only takes two steps to cover a distance of more than ten meters.

"you guess?"

Vaskov showed a playful smile: "Do you think I reloaded the smoke bomb when you threw it?"

Lin Huai'en quickly looked at the ground and smiled: "You threw the magazine on the ground."

On the snow five to six meters behind Vaskov, several bullet casings and a black pistol magazine fell.

Looking at the mysterious smile on Vaskov's face, Lin Wynn took a deep breath.

He raised the gray-green fury.

With his current [nerve reflexes], the moment Vaskov raised his hand, he could reach out to block the trajectory of the bullet. However, on the other hand, without using any dungeon abilities, he would not be able to break through Vaskov's three types of attacks. Blockade of psionic skills.

Among all the dungeon abilities, this is the only one that is harmless even if it is synchronized by Vaskov——

It is [Sword Theory].

The moment of bloom...

Lin Huai'en recited silently in his heart, and a faint silver light covered his whole body. This was the first time that he had activated this bronze-level skill so seriously.

Silver ripples slowly rippled across his body, and he could feel the same silver ripples appearing on Vaskov's body opposite.

"this is……?"

Vaskov looked at Lin Huaien in surprise: "[Destiny Skill]?!"

Lin Huai'en didn't know what destiny skills were, but he knew very well that for Vaskov, who was bare-handed, sword skills were a huge disadvantage to him!

Vaskov also realized this. He quickly raised his pistol and shot Lin Wynn three times.

Then he pulled out the long sword from his waist.

Almost as soon as Vaskov took action, Lin Wynn had already predicted the impact point of the bullet, dodged the bullet, and rushed towards him!

"noodle!"

The silver straight knife struck Vaskov straight.

Vaskov, who had just grasped the weapon, only had time to raise his sword and ward off Lin Huaien's first blow, but was stabbed in the shoulder by Lin Huaien's glance.

"Half rhythm!" Vaskov said in admiration through gritted teeth. It was obvious that he was also someone who knew swordsmanship.

The tip of the knife that pierced into the flesh was bounced off by Vaskov's white robe, and the soldier brandished his sword and also attacked Lin Huai'en!

The long swords of the two men turned into continuous sword light under the wind and snow, and the sonorous sound was endless.

After twelve sword strikes that seemed long but were actually extremely short, Lin Huaien was cut in the earlobe by Vaskov, and the gray-green fury penetrated half of Vaskov's neck.

"It seems that you have realized the secret of [psionic skills]..."

Vaskov spit out a series of blood bubbles, but through [Psychic Language], Lin Huaien still understood what he meant.

The white-robed gendarmerie captain fell to his knees and lost consciousness.

.

"Winner, Lin Huai'en!"

The White Wolf emcee roared and announced Lin Wynn's victory.

Lin Huaien subconsciously touched his broken earlobe and the cheekbone that was hammered by Vaskov.

Heart pounding.

If Vaskov wanted to kill him, he could have stabbed him to death long before the ice puppet restrained him.

But he didn't do that. Instead, Lin Huai'en found a way to restrain [Synchronization].

That is [Swordsmanship], or [Physical Skills].

"Whether it's my [Imitation], Vaskov's [Synchronization]... or even the [Fire] that cuts through the flames, they all have a certain suppressive power on dungeon skills."

"But [Synchronization] cannot be applied well to [Sword Theory]..."

Lin Huai'en can feel that compared to [Shadow Stealth] and "Star Deer Forest", [Synchronization] has a stronger sense of hindrance to [Enhanced Perception] and [Sword Theory].

This is not because [Synchronization] cannot simulate [Sword Theory] well, but is closer to the first-loaded system and cannot be applied well to "hardware".

After all, [Synchronization] cannot even imitate Lin Huaien's movements.

And that is precisely the key to [Sword Theory].

Therefore, Vaskov faced Lin Huai'en armed with [Sword Theory], just like Lin Huai'en met the mummy swordsman.

When death is imminent, even if the consciousness can keep up, the body cannot respond.

It can be said that Lin Huaien defeated Vaskov using the mummy's swordsmanship.

As the White Wolf emcee announced the end of the duel, a white light flashed on the ground, and Vaskov shook his head and sat up:

"I lost."

However, Lin Huaien reached out and pulled Vaskov up, feeling a little funny: "Stop teasing me. If you hadn't let me off, I would have died long ago."

"With my way of winning, I don't know if I can beat that big man tomorrow."

"Maybe you met that teammate."

Vaskov joked with a smile.

But Lin Huai'en shook his head and said clearly: "In today's battle, Yuan Ximu will definitely abstain."

.

"Sunset Xixue" is not an idiot. She will definitely abstain from an opponent she cannot defeat.

"It's okay if you can't tell. I'm an actor."

Yuan Ximu looked at Lin Huai'en, shook her head and said.

At this moment, the day thief and the military police of the Ministry of Internal Affairs gathered in the day thief's courtyard.

She proudly showed off to others:

"I watched your battle with Sigel through the light-catching goblin. As long as I saw the way he walked, I knew that this big man who never showed his face was the mutated monster mercenary!"

Pavlov, who also participated in the ice battle, frowned and retorted:

"Impossible! Siegel has been killed by Lord Roslov, how can he still be alive?!"

"Regeneration, or some other ability."

However, Vaskov shook his head and continued: "In the dungeon, there are many relics that can resurrect people from the dead. Although they have various side effects, they are not suitable for the hired ones who have turned into monsters. For soldiers, this is not impossible.”

Now that he has been defeated by Lin Huaien, Vaskov has honestly acted as a consultant:

"The four people currently reaching the semi-finals are: Tanya, Leonardo, Lin Wynn, and Siegel."

"It is almost certain that Leonardo will win in the first half of tomorrow's battle."

Lin Huaien subconsciously raised his head and glanced at the Italian young man.

Compared with when he first met him, the Italian young man was much more melancholy, but what surprised Lin Wynn even more was that Leonardo defeated Pavlov.

Lin Huai'en has worked with Pavlov and is very aware of the difficulties of this combat military policeman nicknamed "The Mental Knife."

But because of the battle with Vaskov, he did not see Leonardo's performance.

Therefore, listening to Hara Yugure's description, it seems that Leonardo defeated Pavlov through various persistences and a little bit of persistence and luck.

As long as he gets past this level, Tanya is just an easy enemy for Leonardo to deal with.

After all, Leonardo is a speed explorer. No matter which one of him or Pavlov encounters Tanya, the hunter girl will only end up in a disastrous defeat.

And Tanya knew this very well. She sat in the corner and silently maintained the weapon in her hand. Her extraordinary concentration showed that she had not given up on tomorrow's duel.

"'Will Leonardo Win'...?"

Lin Huaien listened to Vaskov's judgment, sighed slightly, and looked at the Italian young man:

"what do you think?"

Leonardo looked up at him, calmly, but Lin Huaien felt a little surprised and replied -

"I will abstain."

.

The air in the courtyard felt a little quiet for a while.

Tanya stood up, pulled the bolt of the gun, walked to Leonardo, and pointed the Mosin Nagant at him——

"I said I don't need your 'blind' help."

The hunter girl held up the shotgun, looked at the Italian young man expressionlessly, and said in Slavic:

"My purpose is to kill the Wolf King. Other than that, I don't need anything else."

However, what surprised Lin Huai'en was that Leonardo nodded calmly and replied:

"I know."

"This is the result of my careful consideration."
