Rumble!
Magma soared into the sky.
Minori once again shot out from the magma, coughing out a mouthful of blood, and inhaled sharply, saying, "That really hurt. That attack just now should have had the critical hit bonus from the passive 'Aura of Courage'."
Besides inheriting his basic attributes, the Heroic Spirit Warrior obviously inherited the passive abilities as well.
Whoosh!
The Heroic Spirit Warrior had already charged over again, continuously swinging its fists, bombarding Minori. Each punch that landed, striking the air, emitted a burst.
Minori's figure constantly dodged, while also swinging his fists, the power of his attacks equally astonishing.
The two of them, one above and one below, were in the magma, their four arms turning into afterimages, constantly swinging.
However!
Despite such fierce attacks, not a single one of their fists landed on the other.
"Intuitive Dodge"!
"Intuitive Dodge"!
Under the effect of the [Gunslinger] skill, both Minori and the Heroic Spirit Warrior could accurately perceive each other's attack trajectories, coupled with the fact that their basic stats were identical.
This resulted in the current situation, where under an offensive rhythm that was clearly extremely fast and unrestrained, neither side could hit the other.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The shadows of fists waved, explosions constantly rang out.
Minori dodged while swinging his fists, and at the same time narrowed his eyes, carefully observing the Heroic Spirit Warrior in front of him.
He had a sudden idea to summon the Heroic Spirit Warrior to fight him, firstly to find an opponent of the same level as himself who didn't need to hold back, and secondly to figure out the abilities possessed by the "Heroic Spirit Soul".
Rumble! Rumble!
The roars of fists striking the air continued to explode, and the magma where the two were located surged, impacting the surroundings.
The stalemate between the two sides did not last long.
As the skill effect of "Intuitive Dodge" disappeared, both sides simultaneously lost their perception of each other's attacks.
The next moment!
"'Precognition'."
Minori roared in his heart, continuing the "Intuitive Dodge" effect, easily dodging the fist that was blasted over, and then striking the Heroic Spirit Warrior's shoulder.
Bang!
The Heroic Spirit Warrior was blasted away, heavily smashing into the distant sea of magma, and the soaring flames ignited the air, rising into the sky.
The scalding air currents emitted roaring explosions!
"It's a pity that the Heroic Spirit Warrior cannot use 'Martial Skills'."
Minori waved his hand to swat away a large mass of splashing magma, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes. He had already experimented just now.
Skills like "Dark Wave", "Giant Form", "Shrink", "Magic Slash", "Purifying Throwing Spear", etc., could not be used by the Heroic Spirit Warrior.
As for magic skills like "Mad Meditation", there was no need to mention them.
Normal skills were not affected, but the normal skills that Minori had mastered were more inclined towards support, such as "Stealth", "Intuitive Dodge", etc.
These "YGGDRASIL" restrictions made the Heroic Spirit Warrior a more pure combat clone.
This reminded Minori of Kaire.
The other party also possessed the "Heroic Spirit Soul". In the light novel version, Kaire's Heroic Spirit Warrior also did not show the ability to use martial skills.
Thinking about it carefully, it was normal.
The execution of "Martial Skills" required the consumption of concentration, and the Heroic Spirit Warrior obviously did not possess the "energy" that living creatures had.
Although he had anticipated this result.
Minori was still disappointed in his heart. If the Heroic Spirit Warrior could use "Martial Skills", then the combat power would definitely be greatly improved.
Boom!
The Heroic Spirit Warrior charged again.
Minori narrowed his eyes, a surge of magic power surging in his body, and whispered, "Fourth Tier Magic · Charm."
A mental wave surged out, instantly landing on the Heroic Spirit Warrior.
However!
The Heroic Spirit Warrior was not affected at all, and directly rushed to Minori.
"Huh?"
Minori was stunned, and was half a beat slow in reacting, and was hit in the shoulder by a punch, and was knocked back several meters.
"Again!"
A hint of excitement appeared on Minori's face, and he rushed up again, the shadows of fists instantly filling the vision of both sides, without using skills, but purely physical combat.
He almost forgot that although the Heroic Spirit Warrior looked like a human, it was actually only because it had the same appearance as the user, and there was no race.
If one had to describe it, it was similar to a golem-like artificial creature, possessing the same resistance as a golem, such as: no need for food and sleep, mental attacks are ineffective, instant death attacks are ineffective, fatal blows are ineffective, no fatigue, no aging, etc.
The magma sea surface kept shaking.
Waves of magma, from time to time, slapped down, submerging the figures of Minori and the Heroic Spirit Warrior, but soon the two reappeared.
The fierce physical fight lasted for several hours!
A hint of fatigue had already appeared between Minori's eyebrows, and the movements on his hands had also slowed down a bit, but the Heroic Spirit Warrior's offensive did not diminish in the slightest from beginning to end.
"Won't get tired? That's really scary."
Minori had gradually turned to defense at this moment, his eyelids twitched, and he thought to himself.
"The current basic experiment has been completed, the next step——"
Minori's heart moved, and he quickly retreated to distance himself from the Heroic Spirit Warrior, and issued an instruction: "Activate the skill!"
Boom!
The Heroic Spirit Warrior's movements stopped, and then red mist spewed out from its entire body. In the blink of an eye, crimson full-body armor enveloped the Heroic Spirit Warrior.
Seeing that crimson figure.
Minori's eyes lit up slightly, and he said in surprise: "That skill was not affected!"
The Heroic Spirit Warrior summoned by activating "Heroic Spirit Soul" was all white, even the clothes on its body were the same, and at a glance, one would know that the Heroic Spirit Warrior was not a real person.
Even if Shalltear summoned it while wearing equipment, it would still be a Heroic Spirit Warrior with white equipment.
And at this moment!
This "Fleshly Armament" that had been mutated under the influence of the other world and modified by Rune technology was not affected.
The crimson armor enveloped the Heroic Spirit Warrior, and it could be completely regarded as an independent individual to act!
"Shadow Assault"!
The Heroic Spirit Warrior instantly merged into its own shadow, turning into a flowing shadow, and quickly rushed to Minori.
Immediately afterwards!
A fiery red sonic attack erupted suddenly.
"Scorching Sonic Wave"!
Rumble!
Minori was knocked away and crashed into the distant mountain wall, coughing out a mouthful of blood, but a bright smile appeared on his face:
"Sure enough, the abilities on the Fleshly Armament can be used!"
...
Bude Village.
Early morning.
Minori and his party got into the carriage pulled by Kuro and drove towards the outside of the village. Compared to the situation when they first arrived in the village yesterday, when they were not very welcomed.
At this moment, the village chief gathered with a group of villagers to see Minori and others off.
The low-level "Regeneration Potion" all the villagers bought one. The price of five copper coins was really not expensive compared to buying herbs for treatment.
Minori initially priced the diluted "Regeneration Potion" in order to sell it to ordinary people.
The healing effect of the low-level "Regeneration Potion" was very average, but this was for those powerful adventurers.
Ordinary people only had an average level of one, and it was good to have 10 points of HP. A bottle of low-level "Regeneration Potion" was enough to easily recover from injuries.
Dong——Dong——
The wheels rolled over the uneven road, moving up and down.
Enri stood happily on the carriage, holding the carriage with one hand, and waving to the villagers of "Bude Village" with the other.
"In just one night, your relationship with the people in that village is pretty good." Minori leaned on the carriage frame, picked up the water bag and took a sip, and said with a light smile.
Enri turned around nimbly, her light brown pupils flashing with admiration, and looked at Minori:
"Captain, you are so amazing, those alchemy potions easily cured the injured people in the village."
"They all admire you,"
"Admire? Forget it, I charge for it." Minori shrugged his shoulders.
"I think Captain really wants to help them!"
Hearing Minori's words, a serious look appeared on Enri's fair and lively face, and she shook her head vigorously.
She remembered that the captain's potions were divided into two types.
One was the regeneration potion that sold for 5 copper coins, and the other was the regeneration potion that sold for ten gold coins.
The 5 copper coin regeneration potion was obviously specially sold to ordinary people who had no money. During this period of time, she could perceive that the captain actually didn't care much about money.
"Someone is coming!"
At this moment, the Verdant Witch's steady voice sounded.
Almost at the same time.
Several figures rushed out from the sides of the road, a full dozen people at a glance.
Enri's face turned pale, but she didn't show the same frightened expression as last time, but took out a short sword from her arms and held it in her hand.
This was a weapon she bought in Bude Village with the money she earned.
"In just one night, a lot of people have caught up." Minori said somewhat boredly, raised his hand and waved:
"Deal with them."
"Yes!" The Verdant Witch nodded respectfully and stood up from the carriage.
Magic bombardment fell.
"Ah!"
"Ah!"
"...!"
Screams rang out in an instant. The Twin Witches' strength was at the level between 23~25, which belonged to the "Mithril" level adventurers among the adventurers.
These ordinary mercenaries or adventurers were not the opponents of the Twin Witches at all.
Under the Verdant Witch's powerful magic bombardment, these rushing enemies couldn't even escape, and were all cut down within a minute.
The road on both sides was stained red with blood!
The accumulation of broken corpses in front also forced Kuro to slow down.
Whoosh!
A black arrow shot from the front left. In mid-air, the speed not only did not slow down in any way, but instead became faster and faster with the distance it shot.
In a breath, it had already turned into a black afterimage.
The target of the arrow was not the people in the carriage, but the eyes of Kuro at the front.
Faced with this extremely fast attack,
Kuro had to let go of the bone chains pulling the carriage, and swung them in front of them to collide with the arrows, making a metallic impact sound.
And with this action of Kuro, the entire carriage also stopped completely.
Tap～Tap～
Several footsteps sounded from the front.
Immediately afterwards, four majestic figures, exuding a powerful aura, stood in front of the road.
The silver Mithril nameplates hanging around their necks showed that these four people were a "Mithril" level adventurer team.
