Chapter 25: The Outpost War

Fiery red hair, an unstoppable expression and a slash as bright as a flame. Everything made Rain feel unusually nostalgic, but this nostalgia brought extraordinary anger and hatred.

But he didn't lose his mind, he was constantly calming his head, after all, the current situation was not the occasion for him to let go of everything and tear it up.

[Rain just had an intruder break in, that person is very bad, the enchantment and defense network I set up have not been able to slow down the other party for even a second, quickly report back to your side. 】

At this time, the words of Elisa, who were guarding outside, sounded, and Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and when he saw Suzaku coming in, he was immediately worried about whether Elisa outside would be killed.

[Alyssa and Suzuka have changed their situation now.] Suzuka, you go and take care of quietly bringing Quint to Moonlight for treatment, Alyssa, you don't come in first, go to the tail for a while, and let go of the trio I deliberately let go, and if you can, rescue the other two of Jester. 】

Rain stared at Suzaku's actions and gave instructions to Alyssa and Suzuka one by one, and the two did not resist or be angry with Rain as before, and carried out the instructions very faithfully.

The two of them are no longer like little girls who didn't understand anything before, and now they know that cooperating with each other is the best way for everyone to survive together, of course, this refers to the general situation.

If Rain wants to mess around during the mission, they will be disobedient too.

"See you again, little ghost. ”

Suzaku lifted the sword on his shoulder with ease, and the tone and attitude he had in the Belka era was exactly the same as when they met four years ago. However, the rain will make her regret it today, and this time it will definitely not be as embarrassed as before.

"I really haven't seen you for a long time, so can I ask you to return the stolen things?"

When the rain left, Suzuka was also extending the length of the shadow and slowly came to the Quint position, and for the movement of Suzuka behind him, the rain also stood diagonally to cover the two behind as much as possible.

"Haha, we should thank you for that. Since you've brought feathers to the modern age, we've added a means to erase some of the anomalies. ”

Suzaku's icy smile was on his face again, the same as when Eiffel died, mocking the dead and his beloved.

Rain is more uneasy about this, if "Crow" uses the Feather of Time to go back in time and wipe out all the current members of the Rainbow Team, then he may not have a chance to turn the tables.

[However, my current existence means that they have not yet figured out how to use the "Feather of Time", after all, there are too many ancient Belka documents lost in modern times. It would take a lot of time to find out how to use feathers in the first place, but they should have the knowledge to match this when they belonged to the Belka era......]

Rain was both uneasy and uncomfortable about this, but he still had to put it aside and focus on the battle in front of him first.

"Hey, the puppets made by the doctor in the back, let's go through the rift in the space over there. I've been commissioned by the Doctor to save you, and of course the reward has already arrived. ”

As Suzaku spoke, the space next to the fighter man was suddenly torn apart into a hollow, and the dark purple space looked very strange, and the continuous dimensional fluctuations in it were even more disturbing.

“……”

The fighters gritted their teeth and stared at Suzaku, and it seemed that the three of them were a little unwilling, and the reason for showing such feelings was completely incomprehensible.

The only thing that can be guessed is that the relationship between the two is not ideal, or it may be mixed with some ulterior secrets.

The three fighters also had no choice, so they could only walk into the cracks silently.

Although Rain himself would love to intercept them, even now he is not confident that he can win if he is distracted by the battle with the members of Crow.

[Alyssa's situation has changed, so you should immediately prepare a wide-area form of magic, preferably one that can destroy the entire facility.] 】

Rain gave a command that Elisa felt a little incomprehensible, but when Alyssa thought about it for a while, she understood Rain's intentions and asked rhetorical questions on this basis.

[The rain may destroy the evidence as well, is that okay?]

[I want to die a little more than the evidence, and the clues have already been obtained.] 】

Rain quietly glanced behind him as he spoke, and he saw Quinte, who was being carried by Suzuka and slowly sinking into the shadows.

As long as you save her, you can find out the details of the trio by getting information from her, and then you will definitely gain something if you follow the vine to find out.

[Now it's my job.] 】

Rain stared at Suzaku with fists in her hands, and her indescribable smile made Rain show a rather hideous look.

"What's the matter, is the venue cleared? I hope you don't keep me waiting too long. ”

Suzaku had already seen the small actions that the rain was doing behind their backs, but she didn't stop it.

For her, the mission is only to rescue the three fighter sisters, and removing the rain is her own mission in "Crow", and she has little interest in the lives of the others.

As for things like the loss of information, Suzaku and the others have other plans.

"Thank you so much for your tolerance. ”

The rain sneered lukewarmly.

"You're welcome, just hand over your little life. ”

"I'm sorry, but I didn't plan to die young. ”

The two stopped talking nonsense, and the moment the words fell, the war began.

The rain kicked his legs forward, breaking through the air and rushing straight in front of Suzaku. The other party raised the Guan Knife herself to meet it, and when the rain entered the range of the Guan Dao, she would cut off his head with lightning speed.

Just when Suzaku saw the opportunity and slashed down with the slash fiercely, the trajectory of the rain changed strangely.

He suddenly rose in a straight line, causing the knife to stagger with his man. When Suzaku took a closer look, he saw that the rain was using the reaction force of the flames to propel him, and at the same time, he was also turning over and bending his legs at 1800 degrees, and his current movements were as if he was stepping on a wall of air and bending his knees to bounce.

Everything was done in a split second, the power of his legs that made his man sprint faster than before, and the rain accelerated with fire magic in both hands as a jet.

In the blink of an eye, the rain reached Suzaku's face, and the speed was as fast as it literally meant, and he really came after the blink of an eye.

Of course, Suzaku is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and she can still pull the sash back in front of her to block the rain.

Bang!

The fist entwined with electricity and flames struck the crimson handle of the scarlet, but it had no effect at all, and Suzaku received the punch without moving.

While Yu wanted to pursue, Suzaku quickly turned his knife back, forming a small flame vortex that forced Yu back.

As soon as Yu's feet stepped on the ground, Suzaku stopped spinning and stabbed out the Guan knife at a speed that was difficult for the naked eye to catch.

The cold light flashed, and the tip of the knife was infinitely close to Yu's chest.

But that's all there is to it, and Rain's hands clenched tightly in the last second, preventing it from taking a step forward.

At this time, Suzaku noticed that Yu's eyes had turned into an abnormal color, and it was obvious that he had been able to guard against stabbing in the morning because of his magic eye.

At this time, Suzaku suddenly felt a wave of paralysis spread from her hands to her whole body, and she looked down to find that Yu's hands were constantly beating arcs.

While this level of shock would not completely paralyze her, it would still cause her to become sluggish to some extent.

So Suzaku wanted to raise his sword and lift Rain's whole person in the air and then throw him out of his side, but when she was about to put it into practice, Rain read her plan first.

A large Mead-style magic circle unfolded at the feet of the rain to encompass both of them, and a flash of blue light illuminated the entire research facility, and then the ground changed as the light slowly went out.

Cracks like spider webs spread across the outermost floor to the feet of Rain and Suzaku, and soon they lost their footing.

The collapse of the ground disrupted Suzaku's original movements, and a moment of panic was enough for Shimoku to continue with the next round of attacks.

"Cirrus Clouds?"

Eight Mead-style magic arrays appeared around the center point of the Vermilion Bird, and when viewed from high in the sky, it looked like a "rice" character.

Eight suction tornadoes blocked all the ways of Suzaku, and the tornado also rolled up the crumbling rubble around her and constantly cut through Suzaku's body, and the suction of the wind even ripped through the end of her cheongsam.

"Hmph. ”

Suzaku is a weak person who does not put this level of magic in his eyes, and the sword light flashes, and four cold lights are suspended on the wall of the dragon scroll.

The horizontal square path of the sword light easily disintegrated the wind wall, exposing the flame-like beauty inside, but the original intention of the rain was only to restrict Suzaku's vision.

He himself had already hidden under the dragon scroll early in the morning, aiming at the moment when Suzaku swung his sword and did not return.

He drove straight into the middle of Suzaku, but Suzaku had already guessed his next step. Seeing through his sneak attack, Suzaku stepped into the void first, and she retreated in the same way as Rain accelerated with a flamethrow.

Rain's fist would never reach Suzaku in this situation, but he didn't give up on using other attacks, and he rushed forward with this momentum.

When Suzaku was about to break out of the rain within a five-meter radius, she found her back hitting a hard object, and when she looked back, she realized that a huge piece of rubble was just in her way.

Suzaku didn't have time to think about whether it was the rain or luck, and her sixth sense kept telling her to get out as soon as possible.

As soon as she hit the rubble, she was about to use it as a fulcrum to bounce out, but when her legs exerted force, a burst of cold air suddenly rushed up her back.

Her brain was immediately frozen by the cold air until she was fully awake, and then she realized that her left abdomen had been pierced by an ice pick, and she could see Yu Zhang, some distance away, open his originally clenched fist and release the blow.

Suzaku quickly swung his knife and slashed the ice pick in two, using the flames to dissolve the ice and bouncing back and forth between the rubble.

The rain also returned to the ground together, and the two began to confront each other again, but this time it was different from the previous rain, and the rain had a slight advantage.

Suzaku found that Rain's fighting style was very different from the last time they met, and although Nagase used Mead-style magic in the past, his fighting style was more like that of Belka's knights.

This is also very formal, after all, the explosion of strength is due to the skills and experience learned from the time of Gubelka, so it is not surprising that his fighting style is like that of a knight.

But now Suzaku has found that Nagase Rain is no longer a monolithic magister, in addition to using knightly fighting techniques and attaching magic to combat, he will also use additional magic to make better terrain for himself, assist himself in moving, and if necessary, he is not obsessed with fighting and can switch to magic warfare in an instant.

Now he is probably the first person to mix the two styles of Meade Magister and Belka Knight.

"Haha, Shibei is really going to be impressed for three days. Little ghost, this is really good, this can be regarded as a battle, and it can be regarded as a tearing kill. ”

Suzaku's face became distorted, and the madman's laughter and the wind emanating from his body made Yu frown.

Soon, Suzaku's body erupted with a red-black fighting qi that he had never seen before, and his limbs were wrapped in flames, and the wound on his left abdomen that he had just pierced slowly returned to his original snow-white skin under the flames.

This incredible phenomenon is sure to leave the enemy stunned, and the recovery power is so amazing that they want to give up fighting it.

[Alyssa is now!]

At this time, Rain did not choose to fight against him, but chose to let Alyssa, who was outside, unleash powerful wide-area magic to buy time for herself.

How much time do you get?

Of course, when it was time to escape, the current rain has no reason to fight, not to mention that it is worthless to fight to the death here.

The most important thing is that Yu is not very sure that he will be able to defeat his opponent here, especially Suzaku who has witnessed this unprecedented state in front of him, he estimates that his chances of victory are probably less than 20% of the chance, and he does not want to take this risk.

Rain threw two balls of light in each hand, and the balls of light flew towards the Suzaku in diameter.

Suzaku knew that these two balls had no offensive power, so she chose to ignore the light balls and burst in front of Yu at the same time.

She was undaunted to pass between the two balls of light, and Rain didn't expect her to be so determined. This caused him to miss the best of times, but he still activated the effect of the magic.

Syllable!

The ball of light suddenly grew larger with a snap of the rain's fingers, and the bright light instantly included the Suzaku with his back to the ball of light.

Even though his back was facing away from the light, it always affected Suzaku's vision to a greater or lesser extent, and at the same time, a golden light and terrifying heat appeared on Suzaku's head.

It was a huge fireball with a radius of about twenty meters, and the fireball like the sun was one of the few wide-area spells that Elisa had, and the "Eye of Flames" was the name of this magic.

Even someone as strong as Suzaku couldn't ignore such a wide-area magic that took a long time to form, and he had no choice but to take a defensive stance.

This opportunity was enough for Rain to run away with Alyssa at top speed.

"Boom"

The explosion sounded behind the rain and them, but he didn't look back and flew forward with Alyssa in the form of a princess hug, and also sent a message for Lan Yu and Alicia to return to Moonlight State.

This battle came to an end, although it was not a victory, but for Yu Yu, this outpost battle had already sounded the clarion call for his declaration of war.

From this day on, Rain Nagase will reverse his previous disadvantage, regain what he has lost, and redeem all the things he regrets.
