It turns out that catching up to the White Demon was no easy feat!
In this battle, Rocky had shown all his enemies what was ant by extre speed, as well as the terror of armor mobility when pushed to its limits.
Facing over a dozen, no, dozens of captains clad in the fifth generation Special Armor, Rocky was like an eel in the sky, completely uncatchable.
Originally thinking they could stop him head on, they hadn't expected to give Rocky an opportunity to show off in front of everyone, a seamless 180-degree turn without pause, instantly changing his direction. Not only did the intercepting enemies fail to react in ti, but even those chasing behind were caught off guard as the captain closest to him watched in disbelief as Rocky brushed past him, leaving a slash across his chest, rendering him incapacitated on the spot.
After that, Rocky rapidly bypassed the interception of several captains, swiftly moving towards other parts of the battlefield, naly the direction where more mbers of the Void Magic Squad were.
Although he was constantly evading the captains' pursuit, Rocky hadn't forgotten his primary objective: to eliminate as many enemies as possible, thereby releasing more Alliance Army warriors to support Wilton. That was his main focus, and while dragging the captains' attention away was good, it was only secondary.
So even though Rocky was on the run, he was always aiming for the direction with Void Magic Squad mbers, slashing at enemies as he fled. It was only because his speed was so fast and he drew so much attention to himself that people overlooked his achievents during this ti.
In fact, in the process of fleeing, he had already taken out three squad mbers and incapacitated a captain!
But the Void Magic Warriors of the Imperial Army were not fools, especially the rank-and-file. Once they realized they were Rocky's targets and had no chance of escape if he set his sights on them, the squad mbers imdiately scattered, keeping as far away from Rocky as possible, leaving him with fewer and fewer targets.
And as ti passed, the captains' encirclent gradually ford. With no choice, there were simply too many captains pursuing him, and these captains were highly tactically trained. Quickly realizing that chasing Rocky was futile, they responded by forming an imnse encircling net around him, gradually tightening it with the intent to eventually trap him.
In this situation, Rocky imdiately chose to break out.
All it took was one focused direction and a sudden burst of speed, and he was gone.
Naturally, there were attempts to block him, but this ti, Rocky didn't give his opponents a chance to prepare. With one speed increase, then two, then three, he used consecutive accelerations to instantly disrupt their rhythm.
With his repeated accelerations, what was over a hundred ters apart between them quickly beca nothing. In the blink of an eye, the distance had shrunk to a few dozen ters, and then just a few ters in no ti!
When they were only a few ters apart, Rocky grabbed his Magic Fang Scythe and swung it horizontally!
Although he hadn't reached the Scythe's true attack range, don't forget that Rocky was still surging forward. So even though he couldn't hit with the swing, by the ti the Scythe was truly in motion, he too would be up close, well within striking distance.
There was no doubt that Rocky's grasp of distance and timing with this attack was near perfection!
But as he swung, the captain blocking his path reacted. The mont the Scythe moved, the captain had already started to accelerate upwards, and by the ti Rocky was upon him with the Scythe slicing through the air, the captain had shot up high enough to narrowly evade the strike!
Fast!
This captain's reaction was indeed quick!
Following his missed attack, even Rocky had to admit that this captain's reaction ti was more than adequate - any slower, not by a second, not by a breath, not even a blink of an eye, and he would have been cleaved in two!
However, as the captain had just dodged the attack and was feeling a slight sense of relief, he saw that Rocky had no intention of pursuing, flying past his forr position without slowing down.
Damn!
Watching Rocky fly away, the captain's sense of relief vanished entirely, for he knew he had made a grave mistake. Although he had dodged Rocky's strike, he had also cleared a path for him, letting him pass without any hindrance!
Realizing this, the captain imdiately turned and hastened in the direction Rocky fled, but catching up to the White Demon was no easy task. By the ti the captain caught on, Rocky had already left him far behind and even broken through the encirclent, heading straight for a group of ordinary Void Magic Warriors. The sight filled the many watching captains with desperate anxiety, for once Rocky reached these soldiers, it would be like letting a wolf into a flock of sheep, leaving no one alive!
The captain's action just then couldn't really be blad on him, as facing Rocky's fierce strike, had he not dodged, there would have been only one outco – death. With the armor he wore, there was no possibility to stand against the Magic Fang Scythe head-on; if not bisected at the waist, he would be severely injured and lose combat capability. There would be no third outco.
So facing Rocky's slash, he had no choice but to dodge. This evasion didn't contain any cowardice or retreat; it was purely an instinct for self-preservation. In fact, any other captain would have done the sa.
And Rocky, precisely because he understood this point, was so bold and unrestrained!
He was very clear about his strengths: first, his incredible speed, and second, his formidable close-combat ability. With these advantages, as long as he wasn't encircled, he could bulldoze through any obstruction. Then it was up to the opponent to dodge or not. If they dodged like the recent captain had done, then no one could stop him. If not, it would be seen whether the captains' Armor was tougher or his Scythe faster!
