Chapter 203: Frozen Time and Space (Part II)
Despite its appearance, Jaeger's space freezing spell is not invulnerable. In fact, it has, and only one, a weakness that cannot be called a weakness.
That is, Jaeger can only create and control a "space block" at most at a time.
This means that if he uses this block to defend, he loses his offensive ability, and if he uses it for offense, he cannot defend.
This weakness is only known to Sixteen Nightsaki, who has fought with Jaeg many times and always survived.
For ordinary people, even if they know this weakness, it doesn't make any sense. Because Jaeger can instantly create a new block anywhere around him, without any spell casting ritual, and with all will—this is proof of the highest level of magic. Coupled with the third-generation vampire's reaction speed beyond the limits of creatures, it can be said that any attempt to catch Jaeger's flaws in order to carry out a sneak attack is pointless, you can't be faster than him...... Unless you're sixteen nightsakiya.
Sixteen nights of Sakuya, faster than "fast" itself.
The fierce offensive and defensive attrition just now is not meaningless. In order to win, Sakiya has been waiting, waiting for a chance to make a move. Now, she had finally arrived—the moment when Jaeger's space cube had just smashed to the ground and had not had time to retract it for defense, it was the perfect time for her to show her edge.
There are two seconds left to stop.
"Hey!"
Sakiya no longer retains her strength, takes a step, and rushes towards the house where Jaeger is located. The distance forced out by those space cubes, she had to pull back in one go.
By the time she got back to the bottom of the house, there was still a second left.
"Is it still too late?"
Despite this unconfident thought in Sakuya's heart, the movements on her legs and feet did not slow down in the slightest. Just listening to the sound of "whoosh", she is like a ninja, flying off the wall. She stepped on the wall of the house and rushed straight up, and as soon as she got up to the roof, she stepped heavily on the orange-red tiles, and jumped up with the momentum of this ascent, and stood in mid-air, as if she were flying.
Half a second...... Three-tenths of a second...... A tenth of a second!
When she reached the highest point and could no longer ascend, there was only so much time left for her. A tenth of a second, just right for blinking.
"Damn...... It's the limit......"
Feeling the growing sense of detachment, Sakuya knew that this was her full strength.
"Just give me a little more time, a second, no, half a second......"
Sakuya gritted his teeth and used his last strength to shake off the flying knife that had been prepared in his hand.
Then time began to flow again.
"Huh?"
Looking at the blade in front of him, Jaeger was startled at first, and then raised his hand to stand the handle of the parasol in front of him. It can only be said that it is worthy of the third generation of the ancient blood clan, whether it is the speed of reaction or the experience of emergency response, it is superb. The silvery-white knife was blocked by the handle of the metal umbrella, and it deviated from its original course, merely brushing Yaeger's face, leaving a vivid streak of blood on his silky skin, and then flew over and disappeared.
"Silver Dagger...... It is also mixed with some exorcism. If you get hit by this, it hurts. ”
Jaeger said lightly, gently wiping the blood from his face with his fingers, and the tender white face was immediately intact. He looked up at Sakiya, who was still in mid-air—even Sakiya herself was confused, wondering why she hadn't defended gravity's call and landed back on the ground.
That's right, Jaeger can only make one space block at most, and if you use it for attack, you can't use it for defense. Because of this, when he faced the knife that was aimed at the vital point, he did not choose to create a space cube that enveloped himself to resist the blow.
Instead, his choice was to create a space block around Sakiya's body and lock her whole body inside.
Offense is the best defense, and this truth doesn't just apply to Sakiya.
"Oops!"
Despite being exhausted, Sakiya still doesn't get a respite. She threw a punch in front of her, and slammed it into an invisible wall, shaking her arm numb, and then she realized that something was wrong. Locked by this space cube, she will never have a chance to escape.
When she got here, she was like a golden horn king who had entered the treasure gourd, and she couldn't use her strength.
With a slight wave of his hand, the colorless and transparent cube carried Sakuya and obediently flew in front of him, looking from the outside, it looked as if Sakuya had flown over by himself. The two of them faced each other, and their expressions and postures could be described as the difference between ice and fire. Nasaki Ye is not particularly panicked, but very awkward, always feeling that she is not standing, sitting, crying, or laughing, but the Jaeger in front of her is straightforward, and the four big words "triumphant" are written on her face.
"Looks like I've won this time!" Jaeger laughed, "Yi...... Sister Sakiya, don't you have anything to say?"
"Hoo ......"
Sakuya exhaled heavily, if the transparent wall in front of her was made of glass, it should be covered with water droplets.
"You made two mistakes. ”
Sakiya opened his mouth, and such a sentence popped out. Jaeger had to admit that he hadn't been able to figure out what the other man meant.
Why does the loser still have to educate the winner?
"I'd love to hear about those two mistakes. Jaeger was not angry, but asked with interest with a smile on his face.
"One, you haven't won yet. Sakiya held up a finger, "Second...... You really shouldn't have given me a respite. ”
"Drag your blessing, I have 'strength' again. ”
Before the words could be spoken, the space cube that carried Sakiya suddenly cracked, throwing her on the roof. Jaeger didn't take the initiative to disarm his spell, and he couldn't afford to keep it going.
A short, sharp silver blade was stuck in Jaeger's left chest, blood staining the carvings on the blade. The blade pierced through his heart, and the pure spiritual power invaded his body, gradually spreading along the blood vessels to his whole body, constantly eroding his body like poison. His mana and physical strength were also interrupted as his heartbeat stopped. Jaeger lowered his head and looked at the bleeding heart, his round eyes full of astonishment and puzzlement.
"This ...... In my expectation...... outside. ”
He fell to his knees, his parasol falling to the side, and he was out of breath as if he were dying. In fact, if it were not the twilight of the sunset, but the middle of the day, the moment he threw away his parasol, he would have been burned to death by the sun.
From this point of view, he is lucky, but what about his opponent, Sixteen Nightsakiya?
"'Location'...... The 'location' you are standing in. ”
Sakiya fell to her knees on one knee, her face pale and sweaty, her mouth wide open, gasping for breath with difficulty. Looking at it like this, her physical strength has been overdrawn, and she can't even control it for a second.
"After you took a small step forward after knocking down my dagger, this is the cause of your defeat. Sakiya stretched out his finger and pointed to the small orange tile under Jaeger's body, and said, "You happen to be standing on the flight trajectory of the dagger I just thrown." All I did was use the last of my strength to turn back the hands of time for a few seconds, so that the knife was back to its 'position' a few seconds ago. ”
"That 'position', just right, is above your heart!"
When Jaeger heard this, he was speechless, just coughing up blood and laughing dryly, the bitterness in it was far more than the joy.
"Huh...... Ahem!"
He struggled to his feet with his hands on his knees, and coughed violently, the blood splattered his placket and stained it blood-red. Then, as soon as he grasped the hilt of the knife on his chest, he pulled out the sharp blade that had pierced into his heart with all his might, ignoring the blood gushing out like a spring.
For ordinary people, this is a typical suicidal behavior, and Jaeger doesn't seem to care very much. He wiped the blood from the knife with his clothes, put it in his hand and played with it with great interest, and said with a smile:
"I'll take this knife, and I'll take it as a souvenir to commemorate a defeat that has not been encountered in a thousand years. ”
"Whatever you want. Sakiya muttered.
She watched as the bleeding in Jaeger's chest gradually stopped, the fatal wound repaired itself at an alarming rate, and his face was as rosy as ever. She couldn't tell she had done even the slightest bit of harm to the vampire.
"Sure enough, it's still too naïve to defeat a third-generation vampire with a throwing knife...... I can't do any better, though......"
Thinking so, Sakuya lowered her head and sighed. Now, her fate is completely in the hands of Jaeger Extrud, and it is entirely up to him to decide whether she lives or dies. Despite this, Sakiya didn't feel scared, not at all.
Fought, tried as hard as he could, and then, failed. At this time, the emotion that rose from the bottom of Sakiya's heart was not regret or unwillingness, but complete satisfaction.
In the depths of her soul, she knew that she was a warrior.
"Now, if I have the cheekiness to say that I won, wouldn't it be too tasteless?" Sakiya raised her head and heard Yage say this, "So, Sixteen Nightsaki, even if you win this time." I haven't seen you for more than 100 years, it's really impressive, feel proud, you fully deserve this honor. ”
"Then, according to the agreement, if you lose, you must be told ......" Jaeger narrowed his eyes, and a deep, deep smile appeared on his face that was not commensurate with his outward age, "What is the reason I am here......
