Chapter 17: You Don't Have to Be a Hero, You Can Kill With Your Eyes!
Shinji's marksmanship "entering the house" and Cúchulainn's evaluation of "not being good at gunnery" are not contradictory, but the object of reference is different.
"Entering the house" is based on all heroes who use guns as the standard, there are countless heroes throughout the ages, some strong and some weak, Shinji's current spearmanship is absolutely no problem beating heroes like Astolford.
Cú Chulainn's criteria are different, and those who are eligible to compete for the magic spears made by Skaha are all strong men with amazing artistic skills, at least first-class heroes. The final victor, Cú Chulainn, is a super strong man who stepped into the realm of the gods with his spearmanship.
Although Shinji is strong, it is also a human skill, and it is still far from the Divine Domain, so it is naturally not good in the eyes of Cúchulainn. And the master of the two, Skaha, is not only a god's domain, but also has trained his spear skills to the point where he can kill gods.
Even if the incarnation servant is weakened compared to the ontology of the Shadow Country, the Divine Domain is the Divine Domain, and even if Shinji has the advantage in weapons, he will not be able to close this essential gap.
In three minutes, the gold and red spears collided, and the pitch-black and pure white figures were staggered for only three minutes, and the golden spear was picked up by the vermilion magic spear, and then the queen of shadows flew up and kicked the white-clothed boy directly away, not only successfully retaliating for the previous fall, but also collecting a large amount of interest by the way.
This time, Shinji didn't have the strength to fight back, and he took a solid kick from Skaha's full force, and his body flew sideways for more than ten meters, if it wasn't just blocked by the warehouse on the edge of the stadium, he might have flown out of the stadium directly.
On the other hand, the warehouse where various track and field equipment is stored is also knocked down on a wall due to Shinji's uncontrolled body, and a large piece of sports equipment is also knocked down.
"Ahem, the whip legs are still as strong as before. ”
Shinji, who was buried alive by various balls, guardrails, and the like, spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, and a trace of nostalgia appeared in his eyes, as if he had returned to the time of hellish special training (being beaten every day).
At the same time as the memories surfaced, Shinji's magic power, the power from Elquit's blood surging in a steady stream, infusing everything around him, and bursting in the direction of the flight.
Because he knew very well that the whip leg of the master would only stop in one situation - he was completely incapacitated to resist. It's still early, so she'll definitely be in pursuit.
Sure enough, at the same time as the barrage broke out, Skaha also pulled out an afterimage in the air and chased after Shinji in the warehouse.
The oncoming debris didn't stop Skaha, but made her let out a soft grunt of displeasure.
"This little trick!"
I saw her magic spear swing lightly, and the clutter in the sky suddenly turned into debris.
Among the debris, several inconspicuous silver flashes flashed, shooting quickly at Skaha's vital points, but automatically decomposing less than a meter away from the latter.
"It's useless, I made these two dresses for you. ”
As he spoke, Skaha speared straight into his spear, and where his feet left, two runes shone brightly, one defending and one disintegrating. It was they who blocked Shinji's sneak attack mixed in with the clutter and launched with the "Sharpshooter Bow Knife" and "Rune Silver Bullet".
With a "bell", the blade formed by the magic power collided with the magic spear.
After a brief standoff, the blade was destroyed by the magic spear - now it was Skaha's turn to use the power of the long weapon, and she had been immersed in spearmanship for thousands of years, and she had a much deeper understanding of this aspect than Shinji.
However, Shinji still didn't panic, and even had the leisure to use this short time to speak.
"You know—"
The magic spear sped away, retracting and releasing it, stabbing Shinji in the chest at a speed that was too fast to see.
Shinji raised his head as he spoke, and one of his eyes turned from a deep blue to an orange, like the sun hanging high in the sky at noon in summer.
"—then I'll have to use some equipment that you didn't give me. ”
“!!!”
Skaha's pupils contracted suddenly, and he instinctively tilted his head to avoid the burning gaze.
It's not a metaphor, it's a simple narrative.
That glance was really hot, and it was constricted into a ray that excited Shinji's pupils. Skaha tilted her head a little too late, and her head would have been pierced by hot rays.
The gaze of the terrible heat swept over Skaha's shoulders, melted the spiritual garments on her shoulders, shot through the walls of the warehouse, and finally landed on the football field in the center of the stadium, erupting into a spectacular pillar of fire.
And that's not all, as the ray moves, the pillar of fire moves across the ball, rapidly evolving from a pillar of fire to an even more exaggerated wall of fire, and all this is just because Shinji twists his head to focus on Skaha.
Unfortunately, Shinji turned his head quickly, but after all, he didn't reach the speed of light in his line of sight, and was finally dodged by Skaha.
It looks very light to describe in words, but the actual operation is extremely sleepy and thrilling.
Skaha was able to dodge thanks to her "clairvoyance" that she had gained in advance with the "wisdom of the magic mirror", thanks to her agility up to A+ level, and thanks to the battle instinct and reflexes that she had experienced countless battles.
Without any of them, you can't escape Shinji's close-range "hot, electric eyes". It is no exaggeration to say that this is something that only Skaha can do, not Cúchulainn, not Medusa, not even Bazette, who has a secret treasure, because the combination of "eyes + light" is so unguardable, otherwise it will not become one of Karna's trump cards.
That's right, this is Karna's national treasure, "Armament and the like, are completely unnecessary." A true hero kills the enemy with his eyes!"—ahem, wrong, it's "Brahmastra, cover the earth!" Originally, it was a flying prop that was used to track and strike by chanting the name of Brahma, but after being improved by Karna for the second time, he developed an advanced use of "releasing rays with his eyes".
Shinji also comprehended this method in the long run-in with the "Immortal Blade", and just now he threw away the "Immortal Blade" and replaced it with the "Divine Spear Bow Knife" to meet the enemy, which was also preparing for this eye. That statement, which sounds very ruined, is not a secondary disease, but the truth, "true heroes kill the enemy with their eyes" must draw concepts and power from the "immortal blade", and in order to exert the maximum power, the weapon must be thrown away.
And compared with the noble Karna, Shinji's use of "real heroes kill enemies with their eyes" is more insidious and more unexpected. It's a pity that he was still avoided by Skaha. Not only did he dodge, but he also found a way to fight back in a very short time, that is, he used his extraordinary agility to go around to a place that Shinji's eyes couldn't see-back, and for this reason, he did not hesitate to use brute force to destroy a wall in the warehouse.
