The blades of the guns and the fists are intertwined, and this is the end of the battle that has started again.

The arm was covered by the energy materialized "Qi Steel Cloak", and Hakuri Reimu mercilessly smashed the veritable iron fist towards Remilia's face, while Remilia responded with an extraordinary reaction, brandishing a spear at the incoming fist and slashing from top to bottom.

"Ping!"

Colliding from the front, there was no spilled magic, just sparks that had already flown in the crisp sound of steel.

There was no wrestling with each other, and after a very brief contact, the two were separated at once.

Then he immediately rushed towards the other party again.

The shrine maiden moved so fast that a red-and-white whirlwind formed due to the color of her clothes.

"What a stupidity!"

In response, Remilia's invincing and unreserved gunfire was met.

The thrust aimed at the center of the eyebrows, if it is hit, there is only one way to die.

But to no avail, not even a thousandth of a second of stagnation, Hakurei Reimu dodged the blow with amazing dexterity - in front of this martial arts witch, this straight line and no change in the attack was probably meaningless.

A high-speed piercing through the vital point is indeed terrifying, but since the trajectory is only a point, there are too many ways to dodge.

"You guy! …… Is it really a shrine maiden?!"

Seeing that she had done useless work again, Remilia's pretty face became a little distorted - are the Hakurei witches all monsters? How can there be such a strong martial arts shrine maiden!?

It's not that I haven't heard of a sword witch who is good at using swordsmanship, but a shrine girl who is proficient in fist and foot kung fu...... With the exception of the Hakurei shrine maidens of the past generations, the vampire lords with the appearance of maidens have really never seen them before, let alone seen or even heard of.

Reimu didn't bother to answer such a question, she kept her speed and approached Remilia quietly.

It's a dangerous distance.

For a weapon like a spear, using distance to suppress the enemy and control the pace of battle is the most correct choice; For the gunner, approaching the enemy is a suicidal act...... Weapons that are too long are difficult to use flexibly in close combat.

-- This is the experience of the battlefield and the real truth.

But...... Don't forget, this is Gensokyo, a place beyond the world, and common sense in the ordinary sense doesn't apply here.

As if she didn't feel the danger that was already imminent, Remilia didn't retreat and try to get away, but took a step forward as if she were welcoming Hakurei Reimu.

For enemies who step into their own territory, they only need to meet them with a spear that exceeds two meters in their hands, but Remilia is not satisfied...... She doesn't allow Reimu to move forward, so she takes the initiative to attack.

A red flash of light came out of the middle of his hand, and the rain of spears aimed at Hakuri Reimu didn't let go of even a single vital point, and as long as it was hit, the hideous blade of the spear could make the shrine maiden die in an instant.

But here's the problem...... I couldn't hit it at all.

The cold murderous aura was unmistakable, but the blazing offensive continued like a raging wave—there was not the slightest gap, not even the remnant, and it seemed that there was no action to collect the gun in Remilia's thrust, as if it were a waterfall.

This chilling scene is the best proof of the hidden essence of Remilia's sweet exterior, the monster.

――――And as a warrior who crusades against monsters, Hakurei Reimu is even more powerful than monsters.

This is also something that does not conform to common sense...... In ancient times, the heroes who fought against dragons or powerful demons were not equal to each other, one side was a human being, and the other side was an existence with great violence above humans.

But the heroes didn't give up -- no, rather, it was the heroes who didn't give up. They are not desperately struggling, waiting for death to come, they are full of hope, with the belief of victory, waiting for the moment when the flaw appears, the flash of victory.

The hero who won the victory in the end, the hero who is praised by others, will never forget the process of achieving glory...... Because it is not a bright and smooth road to the end, but a tortuous road full of thorns, and only through a lot of hardships can we achieve the crown.

However, in Gensokyo, this is once again overturned, and as the best of humanity, the Hakurei shrine maiden, who is responsible for maintaining order, is more powerful than the monsters that have been defeated.

Remilia's attack was truly terrifying, but compared to Hakurei Reimu's attack, it was not the case - it was an incomprehensible sight.

Beyond the common sense of the action, the arm wrapped in the "air steel fighting suit" is not afraid of the sharp edge of the spear, and the witch uses it as a shield, or shoot, or block, or punch, and actually block all the vicious gunfire.

Each shot is a terrifying blow with more than twice the speed of sound, and it is very terrifying to be able to continuously swing this level of attack at intervals that are imperceptible to humans, and to retract the spear that bounced off the steel fist back to its original trajectory and stab it again.

However, Reimu Hakurei, who was able to defend against all of Remilia's attacks without changing his face, was even more incomprehensibly powerful.

As long as you take a hit, there is no possibility of surviving the attack, but the awe-inspiring beauty of Hakuri Reimu has never wavered, this is the so-called art master boldness.

Compared with Remilia, whose face is full of evil spirits, the two can be said to be superior to each other.

The sound of blades colliding with steel, like beautiful music, resounded on the battlefield.

It's just that both sides are not in the mood to appreciate it now.

The tempo increased unlimitedly, and Remilia's spear swung even faster, but it never broke through Hakurei Reimu's defenses.

-- Now, the distance between the two sides is one and a half meters.

It's just a two-step for ordinary people, so it's even more so for these two guys.

Little by little, Hakurei Reimu reached this distance.

For Remilia, this distance is not dangerous, but it is also a factor that can put her at a disadvantage if she is not careful...... No, to be honest, at the very beginning of the fight, she was already at a disadvantage.

So...... Now it's time to fight back.

The vampire girl, who had made up her mind so much, began to act.

「――――！」

-- The white-gold arm was bounced off.

It was Hakurei Reimu's arm covered in a white-gold armor formed by spiritual power...... And it is Remilia's skill that does this.

The body beyond the limits of human imagination overcame inertia, allowing Remilia to make a swift move without stopping, from a straight line of stabs to a sweep aimed at the shrine maiden's right wrist.

It wasn't a blow that Hakurei Reimu couldn't dodge, but she was used to Remilia's spear thrusting, and there was a momentary pause...... That's where inexperience comes in.

This pause made her break the position by Remilia, and there was a very brief flaw - less than a second.

For humans, you probably can't do anything for a second, but for vampires, it's not like that, and besides, isn't there a saying?

-- Victory or defeat is instantaneous.

Remilia, who was going to decide the winner in an instant, began to act.

Instead of moving forward, she quickly retreated, opening up a considerable distance from Reimu Hakurei.

Even with the strength Remilia had just shown, that speed was unusual.

In a hurry to distance herself from the Witch of Hakurei, what is she going to do?

It's a shame to say that although she holds a treasure that is unique in the world, she also has to admit that compared to Hakuri Reimu's amazing fist skills, her gun is obviously superior.

So, she has to adjust her strategy.

The gun was flipped over, no longer a thrust, but held in the backhand and raised over the shoulders -- this was the throwing position.

The air froze, and the thick magic that could not get close to the creature gathered on the gun as if it had gone crazy, and the only one who could get close to the shot was a monster.

Next, it is undoubtedly a nirvana.

『Gungnir』

This meteor spear that pierces the sky, the correct usage is to throw a gun.

"Shoot her! Sharpshooter!"

The immature but chilling voice sounded in the silent battlefield.

And with that came the mournful roar and ominous glitter of the air.

A meteor emitting an ominous red glow, heading towards Hakurei Reimu.

-- Although it no longer has its original holy posture, this ferocious magic spear is still worthy of the name of Meteor.

If you are hit head-on, there is no chance of survival, but you can't dodge it.

Remilia, who didn't really release the power of "Gangenir" and didn't have to hit this effect, used her own power to control fate as a substitute to create an exact effect.

For Hakurei Reimu, it was a blow that could not be dodged...... Remilia was sure.

That's right, Reimu Hakurei can't dodge.

She didn't need to hide.
