Chapter 139: Death Battle
The Po River, the largest river in Italy.
Originating at 3,841 m above sea level in the Cotien Mountains on the border between Italy and France, the river flows from west to east, turns north to Saluzzo, passes through Turin and bypasses the Monferrato Plateau, then turns east in Quivasseau and finally empties into the Adriatic Sea 20 km east of Porto Tole.
The total length of the river is 652 km, and the basin area is about 75,000 square kilometers, which traverses the northern part of the country and alluvial into the Po River Plain. It flows through the cities of Turin, Piacenza and others. There are many lakes in the middle and lower reaches. Tributaries include the Tanaro, Skriva and Trebia rivers.
The town where the Night of Varzia took place was near a small network of water east of the main trunk of the Po River, and Shinji fled west to escape by using Italy's largest river.
Since the Dead Apostles are the prototype of vampire legends, many of the vampire traits in the legend are real, such as sucking human blood, having servants, being afraid of the sun, being able to be cured by baptismal rituals, and - not being able to cross the flowing water (by the flesh alone), rivers and seas are uncrossable boundaries for them. As far as Shinji knew, the only one who had overcome this was the mutant Dead Apostle, who was also one of the Twenty-Seven Ancestors, known as the "Water Demon".
As long as you can enter the Po River, you are safe. The waters of the Po River washed away traces of human activity, and the Dead Apostles' restrained nature by the flowing water also prevented Ottenroche from pursuing them.
Shinji thinks so and does so. One can imagine how happy he was when he heard the sound of the mighty rushing water and saw the river sparkling under the moonlight.
However, before the joy of escape could be conveyed to his face, his tired body tensed again.
The white-clothed, white-winged, dust-free King of the Apostles stood on the bank of the river, with a calm, peaceful expression on his face, as if he was just admiring the moonlight of the lake.
Seeing Shinji brought, he still had the leisure to say hello: "It's here, it's a little later than I expected." โ
"I'm sorry to disappoint you. Shinji responded, using the precious time to adjust his state.
After fighting for so long, Shinji has long understood the strength of the Dead King's resilience, and if he doesn't want to fall short on this critical kick, he must seize every minute and every second.
It's a pity that this little abacus was also seen through by "Bai Yigong", he smiled and flicked his fingers: "No disappointment, if you let you escape, I will feel disappointed, so-"
The left claw pulls horizontally, the right claw splits vertically, and ten invisible slashes seal Shinji's dodging route from all directions, front, back, left, and right.
"โplease fall down here. โ
It's not that I don't want to talk to Shinji more, but I don't dare.
Yes, don't dare.
Chasing all the way, "White Wing Gong" has forced the prey to a desperate situation many times, but every time it is critical, Shinji will make strange moves to save the day. Otten Roche always thinks it should be the last surprise, but Shinji can always find another way to find a way to survive when he is in a desperate situation.
Snake Scythe, Indra's Thunder, Athena's Shield, Hades' Cloak, Hermes' Feather Shoes, Vajra's Left Arm, Sharpshooter, Rune's Bullet, Enchanted Enchantment, Rune's Magic...... It seems to be never-ending and endless.
If it weren't for the banks of this wave of rivers, not when the dawn was about to come, "Bai Yigong" really wanted to see how many skills this strange magician still hadn't used, even if he would be disgraced, even if he would be injured because of it.
But at this moment, there is no room for the "White Winged Prince" to be careless, otherwise the boiled duck will fly, and he, the ancient king of the Dead Apostles, will become a laughing stock.
Shinji, who knew what the enemy was going to do, stopped talking, and he was going to use all his strength in battle.
Athena's shield manifests, blocking invisible slashes;
Medusa's eyes opened, staining the world in her eyes gray.
The "White Wing Gong", who had already suffered a loss, naturally would not suffer a second loss, and at the moment when the shield appeared, he went directly around to Shinji's side and started a hand-to-hand fight with Shinji.
When the distance between the two sides is shortened, the long-armed snake hunting scythe will not be able to be used, and without this weapon that most deserves the Dead Apostle King, he can make the most of his advantages and crush Shinji.
Weapons can't be used, strength can't be compared, and experience is even more different, I think you have any other way?
I have to say that the strategy of "White Wing Gong" is very correct, and the style of play is also very cautious, but he underestimated Shinji's determination and will, and even underestimated Shinji's education and broad thinking (brain hole) - the snake hunting scythe is sealed, so I really can't help it?
Shinji, who was beaten by the "White Wing Gong" and had a swollen arm and bleeding from his mouth and nose, flashed a trace of fierceness in his eyes, only to see a flash of Buddha light, and the only left hand that could wrestle with the King of Dead Apostles grabbed the latter's wrist, and then the whole person collided directly, hitting the "White Wing Gong" body crooked.
But before Shinji let go of his left hand and distanced himself from the enemy, the "White Wing Gong" who reacted grabbed Shinji's left hand with his backhand, and then forced him to go up. But instead of hitting like Shinji, he directly stretched out his left paw and grabbed the magician's head. As long as the vital part is grasped, the situation is settled, and the king of the dead apostles has no less than ten ways to deprive the magician of the ability to resist.
The left paw of "White Wing Gong" came very quickly, so fast that Shinji didn't even have a chance to raise his hand to block.
A paw full of confidence greeted him, and he could even see the smile of "White Winged Gong" through his fingers.
However, the smile froze just as the claws fell.
The claws that cut the gold and jade like cutting tofu actually passed directly through the mask on the magician's face, and then through the head behind the mask.
There were no crumbs of masks, no blood, no brains, nothing, as if all it was grasping was a cloud of air.
But what about the left hand that is clasped by the right hand?
It turns out that the special effect camouflage of Hades' cloak only acts on the various senses of the living body, rather than directly changing the appearance and posture. Shinji's disguised height is 180cm, which is common in Westerners, while his actual height is less than 150cm. Scratch your head according to the disguised height, because the height is too high, and it will naturally fall short.
In order to avoid being seen as flawed, Shinji tries not to have direct contact with people in his disguised form, especially his upper body. At this time, in order to calculate the whims of "Bai Yigong", he did the opposite, and the effect was surprisingly good.
Before the "White Winged Male" could react to what was going on, thunder suddenly sounded in his ears, and a raging golden lightning suddenly appeared in front of him.
The right hand of the magician, who had been pierced through the "skull" by a sharp claw, held the most destructive golden magic weapon upside down, and the heart palpitating thunder inside the black pearl at the end of the magic weapon was unpredictable.
