Chapter 221: Reversal

Perhaps, when they took on this task with confidence, and had already regarded it as a pleasant trip to the Celestial Empire, no one of the five Heavenly Kings of Darkness expected that it would end up like this.

They were very confident in their own strength, so confident that even if they knew that their mission target was the Akalin Great Barrier, which was the most heavily defended in the Celestial Empire, and even if they knew that there was one of the most powerful saviors in the Celestial Empire sitting in the location of the target, they did not think that they would have the possibility of failing the mission.

Or to be more precise, they feel that even if the mission fails, even if they can't capture or kill the target due to an accident, then, with their strength, they can at least get out of the way.

This kind of self-confidence is actually quite reliable, after all, these five people represent arguably the highest level of combat power in the entire transcendent ability realm, not to mention, acting with them, there is also one of the strongest three of the evil villain forces, the puppeteer Leah, who can be called a legendary powerhouse - well, in fact, the Four Heavenly Kings of Darkness did not know about her existence, but this did not prevent the rationality of their plans.

However, it was clear that the Four Heavenly Kings of Darkness had missed a bit.

Even if all the preconditions are reasonable, the final result may be a completely unreasonable result.

What's more, under the premise of the existence of Murphy's Law, even the premise of "reasonable inference" is absolutely likely to become irrational in the process of development.

And proof of this, there is no doubt that it is the strength of these savior students at the moment.

Initially, except for the "Sea Emperor" who was the first target and the Dragon Tsundere who was the second target, the rest of the savior students, including the retired and logistical saviors stationed in this "target place", were not considered by the Four Heavenly Kings of Darkness to be an obstacle that might affect the completion of the mission.

However, they clearly overestimated their own strength...... Or should it be said that they underestimated the overall quality of this group of Savior cadets.

Whether it's the twin sisters who delayed Moon's Moon Slash & Shoot the Sun, who have special countermeasures and support-type supernatural abilities, and use them to fight against the Star Eaters and Mary Sue who don't fall behind in a short period of time, or F2A, who relies on "their own power" to stop Cat's footsteps by manipulating mutated creatures......

These savior students, their own strength level may not be high, simply considering the extraordinary ability rating, the highest twin sisters can only touch the threshold of the fierce level, but in such a situation, in the face of an opponent like the Dark Four Heavenly Kings, they can exert enough ability to deal with it.

What's even more surprising is that even though they know what kind of opponent they are facing, they have never shown any fear or wavering from beginning to end, and this firm will alone is enough to surprise people.

Belch...... Well, in fact, as for the "will", because someone mistakenly inferred the prior relationship, its accuracy may be debatable, but, at least for now, these girls are indeed confronting the Four Heavenly Kings of Darkness, which is an indisputable fact.

And perhaps there is more to it than that.

Because until now, several people of the Four Heavenly Kings of Darkness still haven't noticed it.

The counterattack against them has already begun.

*******************

"Really...... Interesting. ”

Although saying such lines, Moon at this moment, the face was more than just surprise.

Just now, the savior girl who had almost no power to deal with him before faced him actually dodged his blow.

Unlike the previous response with weapon blocking, this time, it is a real "dodge".

For a swordsman, Moon naturally knew what it meant, and because of this, he couldn't believe the result.

"What do you think...... Have you seen through Uncle Ben's sword? ”

With a cold snort, he finally gave up his initial attitude of "as long as he was a little more serious about solving the opponent" and turned to 100% concentration.

In fact, it was not until this moment that Moon suddenly realized that from just now to now, he had unknowingly increased his sword speed from about 50% at the beginning to more than 80% now.

This means that the difficulty of the opponent has also increased proportionally like the growth of his sword speed, and even made him unconsciously use his unplanned strength to deal with it without noticing.

Although he had been hit by a blow and had suffered a lot of injuries, the girl who had been fighting him in melee combat had begun to behave more calmly since he started using the broomstick.

Correspondingly, he gradually began to have difficulty dealing with a long-range shooting from another young girl.

"Hmph, do you want to use this tactic of boiling frogs in warm water to outmaneuver me?"

Although it is not clear why the one-sided crushing battle has developed into a close match now, and even his own advantages are gradually being lost, since he has realized this, Moon naturally knows very well that he must fight quickly.

"Actually, it's not what you understand it to be."

To his surprise, just when he thought he had seen through his opponent's strategy, the girl, whose abdomen was still bleeding, spoke.

"Maybe you don't know that - I fought you before today."

"Oh?"

Moon's eyes widened in curiosity.

"That's right, although in a sense, it's actually the same you, but it doesn't matter, it's the ...... that matters."

Staring at his opponent, he was obviously injured, and at this time, he should not have resorted to delaying tactics, but he began to make a calm statement.

"Through that battle, I already have an intuitive understanding of your swordsmanship, moves, and habits, so for me, the only thing I need to do when facing the same opponent again is ...... It's just that you have improved your strength to this point compared to before. ”

"It's ridiculous, if I had fought you I wouldn't know?"

"Obviously...... You can't possibly know. ”

Facing the unknown Monn, Slash Moon unexpectedly showed a sly smile.

"But anyway, the reason why I can beat you this time is probably because of this, so you can be regarded as glorious despite defeat."

"Hey, wait a minute...... Uncle Ben hasn't lost yet. ”

"Cut, you still haven't figured it out."

This time, it was the sun that was aimed at him again in the distance.

"From the moment my sister dodged your sword, you ...... I've already lost. ”
