My defensive capabilities aren't strong right now, so I need to avoid getting injured as much as possible!
Remedios immediately used her healing power to treat the injury on her calf, as it would greatly affect her ability to fight the demi-human in front of her.
The opponent was clearly a power-type fighter, so a head-on clash wasn't a good idea. She needed to use her agility to fight him.
Remedios glanced at Wei Jie's front claws, stained with her own blood, and frowned slightly. The extra limbs of demi-humans could sometimes be a huge problem.
"The Holy Kingdom's strongest Holy Knight is nothing more than this!" Wei Jie swung the great axe in his hand and said mockingly.
"Demi-human! Now I'll show you my true strength!"
Wei Jie's words reached Remedios's ears. Normally, she might have been able to calmly deal with an enemy's taunts, but at this sensitive moment, the opponent's challenge sparked a flicker of anger within her.
She immediately gripped her Holy Sword and charged towards Wei Jie.
Wei Jie grinned. This was exactly what he wanted. If Remedios fought him with all her might and was ultimately defeated, then the reputation of 'Claw' Wei Jie would spread throughout the Holy Kingdom and the Demi-human Army.
Hmm, he'd have to leave a trophy then. The Holy Sword would be a good choice.
Swinging the great axe in his hand towards Remedios, Wei Jie's eyes flashed with a warlike gleam. Relying on his powerful physique and skilled martial arts, he quickly suppressed her offense.
The two exchanged blows for a long time. Although Remedios was at a disadvantage, her agile movements allowed her to dodge many attacks and remain unharmed.
Some of the surrounding demi-humans began to slowly gather, forming an encirclement.
Dodging Wei Jie's attack once more, Remedios created some distance. Her breathing was a little ragged, and her eyes scanned her surroundings, immediately noticing this extremely unfavorable situation.
Unexpectedly, Wei Jie also noticed the movements of the other demi-humans, which greatly displeased him. He immediately roared, "All of you get out of here! I'll deal with this human myself!"
A hint of surprise appeared on Remedios's face. She hadn't expected such a character among the evil demi-humans, but she wouldn't be naive enough to think she could escape danger because of it.
She couldn't waste too much energy on this demi-human. She had to deal with him quickly, then break through the encirclement and return to the city wall's defensive line!
Having made up her mind, Remedios gripped her Holy Sword, and her entire aura changed.
Wei Jie, with his beastly senses, immediately noticed this change. He looked her over with interest and said, "Oh? It seems you've made up your mind. Very good!"
Remedios said nothing unnecessary, charging at Wei Jie with a resolute gaze. After getting within a certain distance of him, she gripped the hilt of her sword with both hands and raised it high.
Activate!
The Holy Sword immediately shone with a divine light, its blade suddenly doubling in length, and then it violently cleaved down towards Wei Jie.
Wei Jie parried this simple sword strike with almost no effort, then gradually pushed it back.
"Hoo-ah-ah-ah!"
Remedios mustered all her strength, pressing the Holy Sword down. She didn't expect to actually cut Wei Jie with this method, but rather intended for the light from the Holy Sword to penetrate the battle axe and armor, heavily injuring this demi-human.
This was the ultimate move of the Holy Sword, Safaricia!
A holy wave that ignored defense and armor, no matter how hard the armor or scales, even if enchanted, as long as it hit, beings with an 'evil' alignment would take damage. The higher the degree of 'evil', the greater the damage.
The wave of light swept through, and the light from the Holy Sword gradually disappeared.
Remedios's eyes widened, a look of disbelief on her face.
Despite taking a direct hit from the Holy Sword, Wei Jie seemed completely unharmed, and instead, he simply pushed the Holy Sword away.
"What's going on? It was a very flashy move, no doubt... but I don't feel anything. Is it all just for show? Hmph, always pulling out useless tricks!" Wei Jie carefully examined his body, finally concluding, "Human, again."
This guy isn't 'evil' aligned?
Remedios gritted her teeth. What a joke! This brutal demi-human, this guy attacking another country, actually wasn't 'evil' aligned!
This meant that to deal with the orc in front of her, she could only use a warrior's methods; many Holy Knight skills would be ineffective.
Damn it!
As soon as she was slightly distracted, Wei Jie immediately charged at her, his fierce and powerful attacks sweeping through like a gale.
Remedios immediately swung the Holy Sword in her hand to block. In her haste, her strength wasn't fully gathered, and Wei Jie's heavy chop made her arm tingle.
Thud!
A heavy thud sounded as Remedios was kicked in the abdomen by Wei Jie. His claws left three claw marks below her chest, sending her flying.
During their previous entanglement, Remedios had been careful not to get too close to him, within a meter, but this time, she made a mistake.
The moment she was about to fall to the ground, Remedios braced herself with her hand, finally landing steadily. A dull ache in her lower abdomen, accompanied by a burning scratch, made her frown slightly.
The surrounding demi-humans immediately converged on her position, brandishing their weapons or sharp claws, like ravenous wolves spotting a delicious meal.
Although Wei Jie had previously ordered them not to interfere, they came from different races and had gathered to attack the Great Wall, but that didn't mean they were Wei Jie's subordinates who would meticulously carry out his commands.
Moreover, the area in front of the city wall was already full of the Demi-human Army. It was natural for these demi-humans, unable to attack humans in the short term, to rush over when they saw Remedios.
"All of you stop! You bastards! She's my prey!" Wei Jie roared, charging towards Remedios, even casually cutting down several demi-humans.
Whoosh!!!
Just as Remedios was preparing to meet the attack, the neigh of a warhorse suddenly rang out. She froze, then immediately turned her head.
"It's him!!!"
A black and red Bicorn charged from the direction of the city wall. All the demi-humans in its path were either knocked flying or directly trampled to death by its raised hooves, used as stepping stones.
The Bicorn arrived nearby, then immediately leaped into the air, flying towards Remedios.
"Come up quickly."
Lock, sitting on the Bicorn's back, extended his hand towards Remedios, his tone not urgent, but rather calm.
Remedios hesitated for a second, then reached out her hand towards him, which he firmly grasped.
Lock pulled her onto the warhorse with a gentle tug, then immediately stopped the Bicorn.
At that moment, Wei Jie had already charged to a short distance from the Bicorn, shouting, "Human, don't think you can escape!"
