"Two more—!"
Facing the furious glare of Mendez, the village chief, Javier had no intention of hiding; he instantly fulfilled Mendez's desire to capture his prey, abruptly standing up from the stone wall of the valley and once again aiming his crossbow at Mendez's head, pulling the trigger and firing!
"Bang—Bang—!!"
"Whoosh whoosh—-------!!!"
Two more arrows, swift as lightning and pitch black, flew by.
But unfortunately, this time Mendez was already on alert; the moment he saw the two lightning-fast arrows coming towards him,
He immediately raised his massive, boulder-like hand and gripped and broke the two toothpick-sized arrows, completely preventing them from penetrating his flesh.
"Hmph…"
"Caught you, you foolish… idiot… who ambushed me! Roar, roar, roar, roar—!!!"
Gazing at Javier hiding above the valley, Mendez's damaged throat let out an enraged roar. He had finally caught the ambushing rat and would definitely smash it into meat paste.
However, facing the terrifying Mendez, Javier showed no fear. Instead, he tossed his crossbow to Ada beside him, giving her a look, indicating that she should cover him when the opportunity arose.
Immediately,
"Clang—!"
"As a righteous knight, Old Village Chief, how can you call my attack an ambush? This should be called a righteous ambush, no… a righteous judgment! And I never intended to only ambush."
The knight's longsword at his waist was instantly drawn. Javier raised it high above his head. With the sunlight shining through, the silver blade emitted dazzling light. Fearless, Javier looked at Mendez below. Instead of fleeing, he suddenly leaped down.
This absurd action,
Made Ada beside him and Luis, who was watching from the ground, show expressions of disbelief. Where did such a foolish and eccentric man come from?!
Chapter 14: The Day the Broken Sword is Reforged, the Time the Knight Returns
A lunatic,
Absolutely a lunatic!
Luis, trapped in the body bag in the distance, instantly thought of this word when he saw Javier drawing his sword and leaping down from above the valley. Where did Umbrella Corporation recruit this lunatic? It's the 21st century, and he actually wants to fight a Plaga parasite monster with a knight's sword?
What 21st-century Don Quixote,
You, old man, are the true Don Quixote.
In a modern society armed with hot weapons, attempting to kill a Plaga parasite monster with a knight's sword is something Luis himself wouldn't even dare to imagine. It's exactly like the real Don Quixote, who was obsessed with knightly legends. In any case, Luis wouldn't dare claim that title; he could only cede it to Javier, this lunatic.
And it wasn't just Luis,
Even Ada beside him covered her forehead in exasperation. She had just seen Javier prepare so many weapons and thought the plan was meticulously prepared.
But now, he was charging down with just a sword. If it weren't for their partnership, Ada might instinctively think that Javier had been controlled by a Plaga parasite long ago?
Otherwise, how could he perform such an absurd maneuver?
However,
[Name: Basic Swordsmanship Mastery]
[Type: Consumable Item]
[Effect: After use, allows one's basic swordsmanship to reach mastery, easily performing various high-difficulty techniques. A solid foundation allows you to freely unleash dazzling sword moves.]
[Note: Remember, the essence of swordsmanship is the foundation, and the foundation… is often the key to returning to simplicity and the ultimate truth—]
It's a secret technique,
He used a secret technique.
Besides the storage ring,
Javier also purchased the rather useless Swordsmanship Mastery. Swordsmanship is completely useless in the so-called Resident Evil, because the human body's limits are here. Without breaking through the limits, swordsmanship cannot reach perfection. However… it's very suitable for showing off!
"…"
"Demacian Might—!!!"
The holy sword was drawn,
Raised high above his head,
Javier leaped from the high point of the valley. The scorching sunlight pierced through the silver holy sword, emitting dazzling holy light. All evil spirits would dissipate under this pure holy light. Uh… actually, it was just pure reflection!
But it doesn't matter,
This blow, carrying gravitational potential energy, descended from a height, its power sufficient to destroy the world. Looking at Mendez, the village chief, who met his gaze with cold eyes, Javier, holding a fine steel sword, fiercely chopped down towards his head.
This strike,
Could split a mountain,
And make the three goddesses pop out of Mendez's head. However, facing Javier's mindless chop, Mendez didn't even retreat. He extended his incomparably thick arm to block, and imperceptibly, layers of hard shell had already covered the muscles of Mendez's arm.
That was the power of the Plaga parasite.
In necessary situations,
It can strengthen the host's body, for example, making muscles stretch like rubber, forming a hard outer shell, or becoming as sharp as a blade.
These are its most basic self-defense weapons. Facing Javier's unadorned sword strike, Mendez simply raised his hand and lightly blocked.
"Clang—!"
"Crack… Bang—!"
It was as if he had chopped a steel plate,
A crisp impact sound rang out. The immense recoil vibrated Javier's wrist and the web of his hand, and the custom-made knight's sword, which had cost a fortune, instantly broke into two pieces.
It immediately turned from a sword-forging competition into a sword-breaking competition. This was a shoddy product; besides its dazzling appearance, it had no strength or toughness whatsoever.
The broken blade, in two pieces, one spinning rapidly in mid-air before plummeting swiftly, nearly impaling Luis, who was trapped in the body bag on the ground.
Javier, holding the broken sword, had a pained expression. Damn… wasn't his Swordsmanship Mastery a waste of money?
"My King's Power…!"
"But it doesn't matter, if I don't have Demacian Might, then so be it. I don't care. No time to reminisce about Garen, the brave warrior of Demacia. Now, it's the turn of Riven, the Exile! The day the broken sword is reforged, the time the knight returns—"
"Taste this, W skill, Grand Challenge, don't get stunned!"
Just as Mendez's elbow shield shattered the knight's sword, and his single eye burst with incredibly brutal killing intent, he continued to raise his huge hand, preparing to grab Javier, this stinking rat.
Javier, however, pressed the sapphire on his ring. A flashbang instantly appeared in his hand. With fluid motion, he pulled the pin and, with a playful remark, immediately threw the flashbang at Mendez's feet, then quickly turned his back and left.
The next second,
"Bang… Thud—!!!"
A muffled thud came,
The flashbang exploded instantly,
Unleashing a dazzling shower of white light at Mendez's feet, with tiny sparks spreading outwards. At the same time, a highly penetrating sonic boom reverberated within a few meters.
The moment the dark-green, cylindrical projectile dropped to the ground,
Luis, trapped in the body bag nearby, his expression changed. Luis quickly cursed Javier's ancestors.
Then he quickly hid his head under the body bag. Because his hands and feet were tied, Luis couldn't cover his ears, so he could only press his ears firmly against the ground as much as possible to reduce the impact of the flashbang.
Still the same old saying,
The brightness of up to 8 million candelas and the strong penetrating sonic boom can destroy the auditory and visual organs of all living creatures within three to four meters of the flashbang's impact point.
At the same time,
Due to light-shielding properties,
Plaga parasite and the Mutated Leech were very afraid of strong light. Generally, when exposed to strong light like a flashbang, they would immediately lose mobility and their intellectual operations would slow down significantly, making their control over the host sluggish.
It would be fine if they were hidden inside the host, but if they were attached to armor or exposed outside, they would die instantly!
Therefore,
This was the true W skill, Grand Challenge—
"Ohm—!!!"
The closest to the flashbang was undoubtedly Mendez. Even he, as an early-stage big boss, couldn't ignore the flashbang's power and instantly covered his eyes with both hands. But even so, it was visibly clear that Mendez's movements had paused.
This made Javier's face light up with joy.
It worked!
"Click—!"
The broken Runic Blade was returned to its sheath.
Javier quickly drew the short-barreled shotgun from his waist, shoved it into Mendez's guarded chin, and then mercilessly pulled the trigger, delivering a point-blank shot. This one shot could take out half a health bar in the first phase!
"Boom—Boom—!!!"
Two deafening shotgun blasts erupted.
Hot iron pellets exploded on Mendez's chin. Even though he was wearing a thick leather coat, it wasn't Umbrella Corporation's special bulletproof coat.
It was instantly breached by the shotgun. Mendez's chin was almost pulverized under the shotgun's assault, with large amounts of flesh and blood splattering. His bushy beard was singed open, and the bloody flesh clinging to the bare white bone of his jaw was wantonly exposed.
Watching Mendez's chin being smashed by the close-range critical hit, Ada, located above the valley, couldn't help but clench her fists.
Although Javier's actions were indeed quite eccentric and crazy, there was no doubt… he truly inflicted effective damage on Mendez, the boss. It was simply unbelievable.
Thinking of this,
Ada quickly put on the crossbow Javier had given her, took out the timed portable explosive crossbow bolts, and swiftly drew the grappling hook gun from her thigh. Aiming at the large tree below, with a "whoosh," the grappling hook gun accurately hit the tree, pulling and swinging Ada across!
"Bang…!"
With an elegant swinging arc,
Ada, using the convenience of the grappling hook gun, safely swung down from above the valley to the ground, even sliding in front of Luis, who was hidden in the body bag, and the unconscious Leon.
"Swoosh—!"
"Hey, cynical young master, wake up! If you don't run now, there won't be enough time later."
Her black high heel left a slight mark on the ground.
Ada elegantly adjusted the hem of her vibrant red cheongsam skirt, then half-squatted, her long, pale legs exposed, and spoke indifferently to Luis, who was hidden in the body bag.
At the same time, her beautiful eyes glanced at the unconscious Leon beside her. This reckless man had suffered greatly. Because he was unconscious, Leon had been unable to defend himself against the flashbang's impact.
Now, a faint trace of blood was seeping from his ears, caused by the intense sonic boom…
"Damn…!"
"Ada, where did you find such an eccentric reinforcement… His way of doing things is so… Forget it, I won't say more. As long as he's more outrageous than me, it's fine."
"Quick, help me cut the ropes. I feel like my ears are still ringing. Using a flashbang at such close range… if I hadn't reacted quickly, I probably would have been affected too."
Hearing Ada's voice,
Luis, who had been playing dead in the body bag, stopped pretending. He quickly poked his head out and looked at Javier, who was fighting Mendez in the distance. Even the well-traveled Luis couldn't help but complain.
Javier…
Was undoubtedly the most eccentric person he had ever met.
But eccentric as he was, this man's combat power was quite considerable. He alone managed to hold off the difficult Mendez. This was something Luis hadn't expected. They could now take the opportunity to escape.
Ada nodded.
She didn't have time to bicker with this scoundrel Luis right now.
You have the nerve to say that? If this idiot hadn't been caught by Mendez, would she have to bother with so many things? She would have traded for the amber and called for helicopter support to leave, and her two million dollar reward would have already been in her account.
Complaining aside, Ada still pulled out the small knife from her thigh and untied Luis. Freed from the ropes, Luis vigorously dug at his ears. He genuinely felt his ears were still ringing. Could it be that the recent flashbang had caused problems?
