Chapter Thirty-Eight: Fighting on a Rainy Night
Despite feeling the cold killing intent from Li Shiyi, Newcastle still did not restrain the smile on his face.
"Tonight, I just want to complete my mission and don't want to get into conflict with anyone. Newcastle's long black hair fluttered in the wind.
"I don't know how you know about my background, and I don't want to know," Li Shiyi pressed towards Newcastle, the hard stone turning to white powder under his feet, "but I know you can't leave today." ”
"Doesn't seem to be negotiable?" On Newcastle's right hand, the pale white wind element swirled and flowed.
Li Shiyi looked at Newcastle with a cold gaze, and did not answer his words, and the two faced each other like this, and the air in the archives was so tense that water could drip out.
The next moment, an extremely thick lightning bolt streaked across the night sky, and a loud sound like cracking rocks mixed with cold rain fell to the ground.
Almost at the same time, Newcastle and Li Shiyi, who were standing opposite each other, rushed towards each other.
In the process of rushing forward, Newcastle used the wind element controlled by his ability "Wind Domain" to quickly "make" several milky white wind blades, which rotated and floated around Newcastle's body, and even could be seen flowing with condensed wind elements.
There was a "sonorous" sound, Li Shiyi held the black knife and Newcastle's wind blade collided together, one black and one white, the resolute faces of the two of them carried their different missions, and their eyes met, which was a hedge between wind and fire under the thick smoke.
The circular hall of the archives was now transformed into a small Colosseum, the two of them converged like flying fire meteors, and then quickly separated, the wind howled, the shadows of the knives were horizontal, and for a time the gravel in the hall dragged the wake into a fine wind net, and the steel reinforced walls left a series of knife marks of different shades.
"Though I dwell in darkness," Newcastle rose into the air with outstretched arms, his body wrapped in cyclones and rubble, "but I serve the light in my heart." ”
Li Shiyi held a knife in his right hand and took a stance, his wide robe hunting in the wind, like a black leopard ready to attack.
Outside the bars, thunderclouds beat the drums of war for them.
The teaching area of Department A, located in the middle of the Imperial Military Academy, was pouring down in torrential rain, and the night was a little late, and there was no one on the gloomy streets, only the lonely street lamps panting weakly.
"Why don't you let me go!I'm going to the security department!" There was some noise near the stadium near the B-department teaching area, and despite the heavy rain, you could clearly feel that the person speaking was anxious.
"I'm sorry, this road is blocked, you can't go through here. A student with an umbrella responded.
"Even if you are instructed by Chairman Li Shiyi, we can't let you pass," another student in a raincoat was a little embarrassed, "This is the school's order, we are only responsible for carrying it out, please forgive me." ”
The bright light from the xenon lamps on the edge of the stadium covered the entire stadium, and it also illuminated a path next to the stadium, and through the rain curtains, it was Al and the two senior B students arguing about something.
A few minutes ago, after Al came down from Arthur's throne, he had been speeding along the central avenue, speeding in the direction of the Security Department, the rain had already poured him into a soup chicken, and the empty streets and houses made his heart extremely nervous and uneasy, and also increased his suspicions, just when Al could see the office building of the Security Department from a distance, two B students blocked his way.
"Listen to me, something really unusual is happening in the school archives!" Al was panting, and the wet dress made him even more inconvenient, so he was very tired from running all the way, "Senior brother and I have been staying on the mountainside of Arthur's Throne all the time, and there is not a single patrol security guard in your B-department teaching area, is this normal?!"
The two B-Department students looked at each other, although they knew that something was going on in the teaching area of B-Department when they received the instructions from Director Savoy, but they didn't know exactly what it was, their task was to guard this intersection, and no one could pass through until dawn came.
"Did the school find something?" Al wiped the rain from his face, and he also noticed the anomaly, "What the hell is going on inside?"
"I'm sorry, no comment, please leave as soon as possible. The two B-Department students unceremoniously gave the eviction order.
The sound of heavy horses' hooves came from far and near, and a gilded carriage broke through the rain curtain and galloped to a slow stop beside El, two tall horses decorated with bright silver wire armor, the precious Clydesdale horses, whose owners must have been of honorable status.
A middle-aged man with a black umbrella pushed open the carriage door and walked down, the middle-aged man went straight to the two B-department students, took out a black card from his pocket and handed it to the two, and then muttered a few words, because the wind and rain were too loud, Al couldn't hear what they were saying.
"Mr. Jonathan, you can go in. The student with the umbrella respectfully returned the black card to the middle-aged man.
"Why can they go in, but I can't!" Al was a little angry, his clothes were already soaking wet, and a chill was coming.
"They're allowed to enter with the Vice-Chancellor's permission, and we won't stop you if you have a concession pass. ”
"You guys!" Al's fist clenched tightly.
"I warn you not to do stupid things," one of the B-Department students showed the short stick in his sleeve, "If you dare to break in, don't blame Senior Brother for not reminding you when the time comes." ”
In the face of this naked provocation, Al's anger value has almost reached a critical value, in order to complete Li Shiyi's entrustment, he braved the torrential rain to finally run here, his favorite dress was made out of shape, but at the last moment encountered obstacles, he was in his heart with a belly of fire and nowhere to vent.
The middle-aged man ignored Al's arguments, and he cautiously stepped over the less waterlogged area to return to the car, but within two seconds he hurried out of the car.
"Wait a minute!" Jonathan interrupted the menacing sides.
"Excuse me, is your name Al?" Jonathan's umbrella swayed a little from the wind, and the little eyes hidden under the umbrella stared at Al.
"Is there something wrong?" Al replied casually.
"Our young master would like to ask you to take a break in the carriage. ”
Al had a question mark on his face, and there were also two other B-Department students with a big question mark on his face.
"Al, remember me?" a male voice came from inside the carriage, and then a silver cross pendant was carried out of the window by a hand.
"How about you!" Al exclaimed.
Al can't forget the cross, which a hooded yellow-haired boy used to kill several ghouls in the treacherous woods.
After greeting the two B-Fellows, Al slipped into the warm carriage after Jonathan.
The wheels of the carriage splashed high and swept away in the wind and rain.
"Why are you here?" said Al, sitting across from Max, taking off his rain-soaked tuxedo top.
"I should have asked you, I didn't expect you to join the Imperial Military Academy," Max had a warm smile on his face, just like Al had when he first met him, "That freshman in the Department of Abilities should be you, right?"
Al pursed his lips, noncommittal, even if he answered Max's question.
"So, the one I saved from the ghouls could be the Empire's Rising Star. ”
"Don't say that," Al's mind wasn't here at all, "can you tell me what's going on in the B-Department area, and why the emergency lockdown?"
"It's nothing, you don't have to worry," Max said lightly, "It's just a test, it's not a big deal to test the defense system of the Imperial Military Academy." ”
"It's as simple as that?"
"Yes, it's as simple as that. ”
The cross necklace hidden on the inside of the hoodie was surrounded by a holy glow, and Max looked out the window at the world, where black clouds and lightning thundered.
The carriage carried the three of them along the street, and the dark B-department teaching area was uninhabited, like a ghost town.
The wind poured in through the windows of the archives hall, and even the hard tempered glass shattered into countless glass shards in the confrontation between Li Shiyi and Newcastle, and fell to the ground.
Li Shiyi untied the black robe that was a little torn on the upper half of his body, there were shallow scars on his smooth chest, and the wet clothes were tied around his waist like a battle skirt, and the outline of the abdominal muscles between the waist and abdomen was clearly visible.
All of Newcastle's wind blades were shattered by Li Shiyi's black knife volley, and the tyrannical wind elemental lost its restraint like a small bomb, which hindered Li Shiyi's attack and cut his skin at the same time.
"Li Shiyi, I admit that you are very strong, but with your current strength, you are not my opponent," Newcastle landed on the ground, "The gap between a martial artist and an adept cannot be bridged by just acquired efforts, and those who have struggled from the abyss of death know better what it means to live, so I suggest you stop, no one knows what happened here after the rainstorm." ”
"Then give it a try. Li Shiyi's chest rose and fell rhythmically, and his momentum rose sharply as he untied his shirt, "Unfortunately, I have also tasted the taste of near death, and I said, you can't go." ”
"Erdaoliu Shura!"
Holding the scabbard horizontally in his left hand and holding a black knife in his right hand, the two were crossed in front of his chest, and a nameless black light floated on Li Shiyi's double knives, and his face seemed to be covered with a faint black shadow.
With a force under his feet, Li Shiyi rushed towards Newcastle, and the black sword shadow like a hellish Shura swept through the wind between the lightning and flint.
"I didn't expect you to have such strength, it seems that I underestimated you just now!" Newcasi became serious, and he finally began to take the knife-wielding boy in front of him seriously.
"It's too much noise, I can't waste too much time with you!" Newcastle was pushed back quickly by the whirlwind, and at the same time a small tornado roared towards Li Shiyi.
Li Shiyi's cross knife slashed through the tornado and continued to fly forward with an indomitable momentum until it slammed into the security door of the archive that was closing. A loud bang shook the eardrums, and the sword light sank deep into the heavy black iron gate, which was ten centimeters thick, and bent into it in horror, and then broke free from the shackles of the door frame and flew into the rain, smashing into the mud of the flower bed.
The petals of the flowers fell into the dirt and drifted into the night with the undercurrent of the black rain.
At the same time, the red signal light on the top of the archive suddenly went out.
"Andrey, shoot!" came the urgent command of the teacher of the armed forces department over the communicator.
"Roger!" the scope was pointed at the white figure rising into the sky, and Andrei, who had been waiting at the top of the archive, calmly pulled the trigger.
