Above the empty ruins, a bright moon hangs high.

"Dust to Dust"

In the night sky, a voice echoed faintly.

"Soil to Earth"

And gradually from far to near.

"Vampire hunt the Red Cross! ――”

When Zax turned back vigilantly, he found that a huge cross-shaped flame had reached his nose!

Rumble!!! ――――

The flames engulfed his body in an instant.

Not only him, but also the asphalt on the crumbling pavement around him began to burn.

"Looks like we've finally caught up."

From the darkness to the firelight, there are red-haired bad priests and ** welfare saints.

Exhausted, Shirley finally breathed a sigh of relief:

"It's too slow."

"I'm sorry, I've received other tasks before, and now I'm just in time to arrive behind Steele, Miss Misaka?"

"Over there."

Shirley gestured slightly to the defense technique in the distance:

"That's the latest defense technique I've developed myself, and I can constantly strengthen my defenses, and although I don't have the strength to disarm it right now, that guy is absolutely safe inside."

In fact, I didn't need to explain much about the divine crack, I felt it, that earth wall seemed to be alive, swallowing the earth's qi and the magic around it, and it was constantly strengthening itself, even if she, a saint, wanted to break through it in a short time, it would take a lot of effort.

It seems that at least Miyoshi Misaka's safety is not to be worried.

Nodding, Shen Crack looked back at the beeping flames burning next to him.

She involuntarily furrowed her brows, and then said to the red-haired priest:

"Are you too heavy, you can't be dead?"

Steele spat out a smoke ring without caring and said:

"If he dies, I can't keep his hand if he is unlucky, and I am afraid that he will not die if he dies accidentally."

"Tsk"

Shen Crack smacked his tongue as he picked up Shirley, and seemed to mumble "If you hadn't arrived a step earlier, I would have struck" or something like that.

"Anyway, the task is complete, now let's start cleaning up the aftermath."

Steele pretended not to hear the broken thoughts, took out his mobile phone and began to contact his subordinates.

Shirley said in a slightly weak voice:

"Beware, that guy isn't that easy to be by"

As if to prove Shirley's words, a figure slowly stepped out of the flames:

"Are you the ones who stay with 'her' right now?"

On the broad surface of the big sword in Zax's hand, a part of it was obviously red like a soldering iron, and it seemed that he used that to block the deadly flame sword:

"Let me see what kind of successor she has chosen after she abandoned us."

The corners of Steele's eyes couldn't help but jump—in that case, he even blocked the attack, and the opponent's movement, vision, and movement reminded him of the saint beside him. He couldn't help but smack his tongue and said:

"Tsk, it looks like it's been a nuisance."

The Divine Crack, on the other hand, didn't look like anything shaken - to that extent, it wouldn't pose a threat to her as a saint.

"God Split, please send Shirley back to Windsor Castle first."

The communication of the spirit of the god cracked the fire and suddenly came the necessary evil, the largest bishop of the church, Lola. Stuart's voice:

"Steele, don't kill until you have to, the other party may be a member of other factions in the country. Now, in order to avoid unnecessary disputes, I need Shirley's intelligence. ”

Not only the appearance and name of the other party, but also the detailed information such as the nature of the other party's magic power and the composition of the technique, which is not something that can be explained clearly in a few words.

Steele and Godcrack looked at each other and nodded.

Before leaving, Shirley, who was supported by the divine crack, reminded:

"Be careful, he's very resistant to blows, and he'll get stronger as he gets hit."

Watching the God Crack Fire Weave leave with Shirley, Steele frowned.

It can grow stronger with the blow, and this ridiculous technique has never been realized in the true sense of the word. Although there have been magicians in history who have conducted research in this area, there is still an upper limit in the end, and it is impossible to strengthen it indefinitely - if there really is such a person, isn't it equal to invincibility?

Then, it will be necessary to defeat it directly from the beginning with an attack that is higher than its maximum withstand limit.

So he took something out of his pocket, and threw it into the sky.

A rune card flew up into the air like a firework, and then scattered at the top.

A radius of tens of meters has completely become the realm of rune cards.

Then, in the midst of this:

"Manifest! Devour my body and turn it into power - hunt the witch king! ”

The Flame Giant summoned by Steele using magic is a flame monster that only exists in the rune space and has a temperature of more than 3,000 degrees Celsius. Its existence is dependent on rune markings, and its power is also proportional to the number of rune cards used. As long as it is within the radius of the rune inscription, it can resurrect indefinitely, melting all enemy attacks and obstacles until the enemy is annihilated. It is a powerful attack magic that takes the concept of "offense is the best defense" to the extreme.

In the rune space, the flame giants of more than 3,000 degrees Celsius instantly turned the place where they stood into a magma hell.

Zax dodged the attack with a blank expression.

Seeing this scene, Steele finally breathed a sigh of relief - if the other party could withstand the attack regardless of the intensity, and then become stronger accordingly, then there would be no need to fight, and it would be better for him to evacuate quickly.

Since the opponent has dodged, it means that his attack exceeds the opponent's upper limit.

He could not withstand such an attack.

Then there is only one thing left - the maximum effort, directly defeat the other party!

The red-haired magician who thought of this suddenly lost Zax.

"Huh?"

In the next moment, Zax had already leaned over in front of him, and the heavy destruction sword was slashed towards the red-haired magician from the bottom to the top!

With a stunned expression, Steele's body was split in two.

And then

His body began to twist and deform.

It is like an image formed by hot steam, distorting and dissipating

"A mirage? Quite clever application. ”

Zax, who had lost his goal, shook his greatsword on the spot, praising his opponent indifferently.

By using the phenomenon of air expanding by heat to change the refractive index of light, he can make his figure disappear as if it melted into the air, or project his figure like a movie screen where there was nothing - from the beginning of the war, Steele has already hidden his true figure, leaving only one projection in place.

Although he is a magician, "using magic scientifically" like this is not something that any magician can do.

After all, magic is looking to the past, while science is looking to the future, and the two are fundamentally opposite, and few magicians can break the stereotype of "how to use magic scientifically".

Steele is such a genius, or rather, an unscrupulous magician.

Be strong for the sake of that child, and do whatever it takes for the sake of that child.

Fortis931 - Prove that I am the strongest!

Misaka is very safe now.

The only problem was that she was starting to feel a little out of breath.

He was still breathing, but his body couldn't get enough oxygen, so he couldn't help but gasp more violently.

"It seems to be protected by Shirley's technique, but the surrounding space is less than two square meters, and the oxygen is not enough to support me for a long time."

Beads of sweat began to ooze from Mirei Misaka's forehead:

"Shirley can't have forgotten?"

Although it was pitch black, you could still hear the surrounding earth and rocks tightening and making a "creaking" sound

This defense system is still gradually increasing its strength.

It's so safe - it's impossible to force it out, either from the outside or from the inside.

In other words, someone will soon die of suffocation in this super defensive technique.

"Ahhh ~ I don't want this dishonorable death! If I knew this, it would be better to attack the Divine Crack at night! Even if you die under her sword, it's worth it! ~”

Mirei Misaka frantically rolled on the ground with her head in her hands, but this wayward move did nothing to help the current predicament except to increase the consumption of oxygen.

"Ah, yes!"

As if remembering something, the girl lay her hands on the ground with her hands folded on her chest, and closed her eyes as peacefully as if she were a corpse:

"The human body has a hibernation function, so you only need to adjust to that mode and wait until next spring to come out to move."

"If you don't have the ability to control electrically, you can't easily adjust your body functions!! ~”

Misaka sat up dejectedly,

"What should I do, can I only leave a street fight and a pre-death arraignment?"

(In this case, we may be able to unearth a very valuable fossil in many years.)

"Shut up! Huh? Not Lori? ”

(It's finally come to this, I'm still wondering how long it will take you to face this situation)

"Since I already knew that I didn't come to help! ~Is it fun to watch a play on the sidelines? ”

(I'm not idle.) It took a lot of effort just to deal with the mess you left behind.,What's more, do you really think that you can completely suppress those ghosts in the school city with your previous actions? ）

"Huh? How could they all be okay? ”

(Do you know that you tone like an old mother who can't wait to be by her child's side 24 hours a day?) ）

"It's noisy! What the hell is going on over there?! ”

(The Vladivostok Consortium and their supporters within the school city who secretly planned the "hunt for the incapacitated" have been completely removed.,The city management led by the cold night scene Oh no.,It's the security secret service.,This time it's a big show.。 Of course, "those people" are naturally more or less involved, in fact, you should give them more trust, whether it's Mikoto, sisters, or Uejo Dangma and Ichibantong)

"Oh, it's okay, and the extra involvement will be avoided."

(Okay, now let's talk about your situation)

"Me? It's good, I don't have to worry about me."

(If you have a weak heart, don't be hard-mouthed.) Besides, even if you are arrogant to me, I can't really respond)

"You're a tsundere! Your whole family is tsundere! ”

(Hey,I didn't even say hello and ran to the UK without saying hello.,I haven't held you accountable for this kind of recklessness, but have you thought about it?,Now you're leaving the school city.,Undoubtedly, you rushed into the battlefield without weapons)

"I—I've been plotted! The guy who was diving upside down was obviously a pseudo-mother's face, but who knew but he was prepared"

(If you hadn't bumped into it yourself, he wouldn't have any excuses, would he?) ）

"Alright! This time I was reckless, but if you have any way, you'd better hurry."

(Huh?) ）

"I'm about to suffocate"

(I'm sorry, but that's just the beginning of the project, so I won't have time to go there.) And even if we start to rush through now, I'm afraid it's too late. ）

"Oxygen, oxygen"

(I don't think you get it.) Hawkers,It's no wonder.,If you understand.,I'm afraid you'll be able to cast magic as you like.,I'm afraid you'll be able to do whatever you want.)

"Help"

(And if outsiders know the true condition of your body, I'm afraid I won't even be able to pick up your bones.)

"Ugh"

(Ah, sorry, but I can't stop as soon as I get into the research topic.) Let me tell you, stupid Meiling)
