Chapter 457 - Blitz Attack (2) (1/2)

Julia's cloth was torn. Her spell's chant was canceled due to the attack. The pain started to creep from her body. However, she tried to focus on the cloaked man in front of her.

The cloaked man didn't stay still. He charged once more and unleashed [Wind Slash] in a close range. Julia summoned her [Aqua's Barrier].

Julia was a wind mage. However, she still learned some life-saving spell and debuff spell from the other element. The [Wind Slash] was nullified by the [Aqua's Barrier].

Even though his attack was nullified, the cloaked man didn't stop right there. He raised his sword and wanted to chop Julia. However, before he could do that, Auron had already arrived and attacked the cloaked man from behind.

The cloaked man sensed Auron's attack. So, he turned back and blocked the attack. Auron shot his [Fire Ball] and aimed at the cloaked man's head.

The cloaked man turned his head over. However, it was still not enough. Half of the [Fire Ball] grazed the side of the cloaked man's head and burned the cloaked man's hood.

Meanwhile, from the back, Julia had slashed and kicked the cloaked man's back. The cloaked man's back was grazed by Julia's dagger, and he was limping forward because of Julia's kick.

Auron glanced at Julia with worried eyes. Julia replied Auron with a nod indicating she was okay. Then, Auron glanced back to the cloaked man whose face was already exposed.

Fortunately, Julia was quite proficient in handling an unexpected situation like before. It made Auron could save her from this disastrous situation.

Auron was blaming himself because of this. Although Julia's talent was superb, compared to Auron, her experience was still few.

Previously, the cloaked man didn't use any item or magic to disappear from Auron's sight. Instead, it was one of the swordsman skills that could learn [Blitz Attack].

This skill was some kind of short teleportation that a swordsman had. The teleportation distance that this skill provided was only 1 meter. And, it was not multi-directional. The swordsman would teleport for one meter in the direction where he was facing.

Meanwhile, the strategy that the cloaked man used with this skill was actually a common strategy that a swordsman would do when they faced a group.

The swordsman would distract anyone who blocked him at the front by dodging and blocking while waiting for an opportunity. When an opportunity appeared, or the enemies were off guard, they would use this skill and teleport to the enemies' back.

Then, they would eliminate the long-range attacker first before dealing with the close-range attacker.

The difficulty of this strategy was to get the timing right. With the short teleportation range, the swordsman had to use it when the time was right. If not, he would be sandwiched by the two enemies.
