Closer. The devastating blow was already within reach.

Where the spear flew, there was a deep ravine, but there was no flying dust—the dirt did not scatter, but disappeared as if by magic...... The negative magic that was entangled in the body of the gun was fundamentally dissolved.

The destructive power of this shot is not terrible, and blowing up a hundred-meter-wide hole in the ground is about its limit, and it is really not a great destructive power for Remilia, who can flatten half a medium-sized city with a single blow...... Even if she would have lost all her strength after that blow.

For the enemy in front of her, Remilia chose a blow that focused more on single killing...... That is to say, more attention is paid to the quality of the blow, the power is compressed and condensed, and then released, if originally her power was a grenade, then now it is an armor-piercing bullet.

And it is an "armor-piercing projectile" that must be hit.

Long before the shot, the hit is a sure thing. It is precisely because of this premise that the gun will shoot. For demons who can manipulate their fate, this is something that has long been known.

Looking at the spear throwing that was getting farther and farther away from her, closer and closer to the goal, she was convinced of her victory.

-- In the face of the approaching gun, the Hakurei shrine maiden folded her palms together in front of her chest and closed her eyes...... It's like praying.

「――――？！」

Remilia's actions startled Remilia.

What's going on?

It's too late to pray like a god...... The red star would pass through the location of Hakurei Reimu in less than a second, and how could it be possible to complete the prayer in such a short time.

It really can't be.

But Remilia also noticed that the other party was not praying.

Calm, nothing, as if one with nature, this is what she felt from Hakurei Reimu, not to mention murderous, not even fighting spirit, at this moment, Hakurei Reimu incarnated into a serene 'nothing'.

She couldn't feel anything, and if she couldn't see it with the naked eye, Remilia would have thought that the shrine maiden had disappeared from her eyes...... No, now, is this shrine maiden in front of you real?

This question does not need to be answered...... Because the answer is immediately known - if it was an illusion, then Remilia's spear would pass through unhindered, if it was real...... So what is the Shrine Maiden doing?

Resigned to death or death?

It's a joke!

「――――！」

A bright light that pierced through the darkness burst out from Hakurei Reimu's fist...... It was the brilliance formed by the condensation of the aura.

At the moment when the Shattering Spear was about to hit.

"Comet of Light!"

In an instant, Hakuri Reimu's temperament changed dramatically, as if the tranquility just now was an illusion, and her eyes changed from a calm lake to a fire burning with unquenchable fighting spirit.

-- And this sudden change in spirit also gave her enough to make people burst out.

In the face of the calamity that flew at great speed, she suddenly swung her right fist. The spiritual power that rushed into the sky broke away from the arm and headed towards the murder weapon.

The comet of light, formed by pure aura, shines the darkness as if it were day, and also blocks the flying magic spear.

The overflowing storm and energy whipped up the dust and eroded the earth, and the power of Hakurei Reimu fought against the nirvana, protecting the life of the master, and ...... Frustrate the enemy.

――――Wuji Zhenzen, who knows this trick?

The moves that Fei Li comprehended from the fragments of the scene taught them to the Hakurei shrine maidens of the previous generation...... And it has been passed on to the Hakurei shrine maidens of this generation.

Let your spirit enter the realm of detachment and forgetfulness, and then let anger or other strong emotions break this peace...... This drastic change in mentality and emotion can make people exert incredible power.

It sounds easy, but if you want to control your mental state perfectly, and in the midst of a treacherous battle, the difficulty is by no means as simple as it sounds, and Hakuri Reimu, who can perform the "Infinite Shock Zen" at a young age, has a talent that surpasses that of her predecessors.

The conflict between the comet and the magic spear is still in a stalemate.

Slowly, but unswervingly, the spear is passing through the comet forged by the light little by little.

-- But that's about it.

The magic power that was originally wrapped around the body of the spear is becoming less and less, and at this rate, before it can penetrate the comet, the magic spear will lose its power and become a complete crossbow.

It doesn't even take long.

It was as if the cracking sound of fragile objects sounded, and the fierce glare disappeared.

「……」

The silence infected the darkness and restored it as if nothing had happened...... But the devastated land, which is like being scorched by the karmic fire of hell and smoking, shows the fierce confrontations that have taken place here.

「…………」

「…………」

Neither side spoke, as if they were holding their breath more than anyone else.

-- If there were no external factors, I really don't know if these two guys would have been silent until they were old.

But it is no longer known.

The bright moonlight poured on the two of them fairly, like a road sign that suddenly appeared in the darkness...... The red mist that shrouded the sky was inappropriately revealed, just enough to shroud the Red Devil Pavilion.

If you leave it alone, it won't be long before it gets back to the way it was. Restore to that blood-colored world.

It was impossible for the red mist that had surrounded Gensokyo to suddenly appear breached, and Reimu Hakurei, who knew this, even looked up at the sky, and in addition to the moon that she hadn't seen for a while, she also saw two figures that flashed into the sky.

One is a reporter for the gossip tabloids...... The other is a man who doesn't deal well with the old woman Zi.

Completely unconcerned about the malicious name of the youkai sage, Hakurei Reimu, who didn't have time to think about it, was interrupted by a sudden surge of cold air.

"Perfectly blocked...... It's a Hakurei shrine maiden."

There was a hint of anger and reluctance in her calm voice, and Remilia was angry that she had been prevented.

It was because of this anger that she didn't look up, and she didn't see the two chasing the sky like Reimu.

And along with the anger, there is also an astonishing killing intent -- it is annoyed and angry.

Getting angry when you don't do something good is just like a child, but when you're angry, you plan to kill someone...... This behavior only made her dark and inhuman nature more unmistakable.

"I didn't expect to be able to block it, your blow was really strong."

As if he didn't feel the murderous aura, he uttered unexaggerated words of praise from Hakurei Reimu's mouth.

If you want to make an analogy, it is the difference between "against the army" and "against the people", although the destructive power is not very good, but the killing of a single body is definitely the difference between cloud and mud.

"So...... Wouldn't you be the more powerful at blocking this blow unscathed---you want to say so?"

As she said this, Remilia raised the sharpshooter that automatically returned to her hand.

The intention to go to war is already clear.

"Wait a minute!"

However, Reimu raised her hand and asked Remilia to pause her actions.

Although she didn't want to listen to her, curiosity eventually overwhelmed anger, and Remilia felt that there was nothing wrong with listening to what she had to say—as a nobleman, you had to be able to accept the opinions of your subjects.

"What are you going to say? Witch. Haven't decided the winner yet...... Of course, if you throw in the towel, you can."

"I just wanted to say...... You're tired, aren't you?"

「…… So what, if you are tired, you as a human will only be more tired than me."

After a slight pause, Remilia acknowledged her tiredness in disguise, and cast a sharp gaze on the witch who was asking.

It's a pity that in the face of this piercing gaze, there was no change in Hakuri Reimu's beautiful face.

But Remilia didn't believe that even though she was a little tired from the strength of the vampire lord, the human Witch of Hakurei could still be full of energy.

Remilia was right.

"Yes, I'm tired."

Generously admits his disadvantages, what does Bo Li Reimu want to do?

"In that case...... So how about we fight in a different way?"

The previous battles between her and Remilia were primitive competitions, extremely physically demanding close battles...... Who's stronger, who's faster, such a competition.

Remilia did not show the grace of a vampire, but was more ferocious, and Hakurei Reimu, who was a shrine maiden, did not use any spells, but chose to use fists and kicks.

Both are guys who don't play cards according to common sense.

But the disadvantage of the race cannot be avoided, Hakuri Reimu's body is already quite tired, even though the spiritual power is far from bottoming, but the physical strength is almost exhausted.

But she didn't regret it.

Mysteries will only be swallowed up in the face of more powerful mysteries; Although her spells are quite good, in front of Remilia's "Gangenir", no matter what kind of spell she is, it will be cut off.

As far as a treasure is concerned, the mystery of that gun can already be said to be the highest level.

However, it is not without a way to win. It's better to say that the way to win has been said by the monster sage as early as the beginning.

It's time to fight differently.

"A harmless, easy, and good way."

"That's a nice thing to say, shrine maiden. So be it. I'm here to play with you."

After thinking about it for a while, and feeling that there was nothing bad about her, Remilia agreed...... Anyway, even if it's a trap, she's not the kind of guy who will fall into it.
