Chapter Seventy-Six: The Rainy Night Doesn't Stop (6)
Chu Tianjiao walked step by step in the ruined city, the giant sword dragging a long trail in the rubble behind him. His clawed feet stepped over shards of shattered glass, over clumps of steel bars twisted after concrete peeled away, and over the burning gasoline that stretched from scrapped cars in the distance.
Once again, Eri was out of the hunter's sight, and the girl in the shrine maiden costume was as dexterous as a red fox shuttling through the snow. It stands to reason that no matter how experienced a hunter is to chase down his target five times, he should be a little unable to hold his breath, but Chu Tianjiao's eyes behind the mask have always been very calm, calm as a walking corpse.
Eri closed her eyes and pressed her breathing to the lowest and slowest level. Slowing down her heartbeat was also the lowest possible beat, thanks to her half-breed bloodline. Now the faint sound of a heartbeat mingled with the thousands of rains, and even the most elite hunters could not detect it.
It's okay, Eri comforted herself in her heart. Mentality and technique are equally important in this kind of trick, which was taught to her by Professor Masashi Toyama, also from Japan. In the past, her battles have always relied on invincible trials to slaughter the opponent, and she doesn't need any such fancy things as skill. Does it take any skill for a human to trample an ant to death?
But this is no longer the case. The spirit of words has been reduced to a vampire scythe, and she is no longer the celestial cloud that can cut through everything. Weak body, completely zero combat skills, and combat quality that even such a trivial matter as observing intelligence does not have...... Even though she was able to spread out a sea of vampire scythes during each simulation training, many of the students who had the advantage in martial arts could rush in front of her and take her down with the special armor made by the equipment department.
Excluding the civilian and research cadets in the rear, the remaining cadets who wanted to become commissioners of the Executive Department were skilled in shooting, and the bullets that also came from the Armament Department could penetrate any barrier.
As for the real commissioners? Even the commissioner with the weakest spirit of speech, and Eri's simulation training record is in double digits to single digits. A few rounds were enough time for the commissioner to get acquainted with the still-terrifying words of the underworld princess, and after that, Eri never won again.
After that, Erika dived into her heart and really saw herself as a student of the Kassel Academy. In Lu Mingfei's eyes, Eri Yi is a well-behaved junior sister who travels back and forth between various classrooms, but she doesn't know that Eri Yi has taken a lot of courses that Lu Mingfei didn't even see at the beginning.
I think of the knowledge in the classroom, the experience in training battles, and the lessons accumulated from failures...... Eri adjusted her mentality and began to take stock of her current situation item by item.
She can hold out here for a long time. The white clothes and the scarlet are all wrung out, so that their position will not be exposed by dripping, and the long knife has also been unsheathed, so that they will not be discovered because of the reflection. At the same time, she was hiding in a wonderful position, and once she was able to outperform a commissioner......
The white clothes are much lighter, which allows Eri Yi to last longer, and although the various props in the equipment department are small, the weight is really solid. Now that all the equipment has been consumed, the weight has naturally decreased a lot, but Eri's expression has become more solemn with the reduction of equipment.
Ritla, Red Spectre, X-Kairos…… The props in the equipment department are extremely effective, and every piece of equipment has caused a lot of damage to the opponent as long as it hits, at least opening a hole in him. What is astonishing is that at the same time as Eri Yi attacks, Chu Tianjiao often reacts at the same time, swinging that terrifying qi blade to block Eri Yi's approach. Attacks aimed at the head are dodged by Time Zero, and items with instantaneous area damage are not enough to kill them directly. Even if he does some damage and even chops off one of his hands, he will be able to recover before Erika's next attack.
This terrifying opponent...... In addition to long-range firing 155 bullets faster than sound, or anti-tank mines that have been modified to lower the trigger threshold...... Eri couldn't think of anything that could kill him.
Unfortunately, she didn't have any of these things.
Can't panic, can't panic...... Eri sensed the fear that was spreading in her heart. She calmed herself down according to the psychological cues taught by Masashi Toyama and thought about her next step.
In fact, there was a chance at the earliest, but only one CEG was wasted by her in the first temptation, and now she only has an ordinary long knife, and the chance of defeating "Time Zero" is infinitely close to zero......
Really...... Is that all there is to it?
With a move in her heart, Eri opened her eyes suddenly, and the ruins of the monster's huge mouth appeared in front of her again. The man's several air blades had already destroyed the surrounding buildings, and the fracture that had just appeared was flat, but it was quickly kneaded and deformed by the terrifying weight of the building itself like plasticine. Now she was holding a long knife in one hand and hanging herself in the other hand from a fallen tall building on another section, like a bat hanging from the roof of a cave.
That's why she outperformed the commissioner. The top of the head will always become a dead end in people's thinking, and few people will generally look up to observe the situation above their heads. She was also betting that she could avoid the other party's tracking in this way.
Without hesitation, Eri exerted her strength, twisted her waist and bent herself into a circle, and stepped on the top of her grip. Then she kicked her legs hard and sent herself out.
A fraction of a second later, an invisible blade of air slashed across where she had just been hiding, and the collapsed building was cut off again. At the same time, Chu Tianjiao also jumped up violently and raised his giant sword, which announced the failure of Eriyi's plan.
This is also a problem that bothers Eri. For some reason, the other party can always find her location, like a mouse rummaging through the warehouse, which makes her have no chance to go around behind or get close to the other party. If it weren't for the other party's ability, it would have been too easy to hide in the ruins of a hive-like city.
The vampire scythes reappeared, and the group of vampire scythes that had gathered into a stream collided with Chu Tianjiao. Chu Tianjiao once again felt like he had been thrown into a meat grinder, and countless wounds appeared on his body. Chu Tianjiao had to put the giant sword in front of him, blocking the invisible scythe group. It's just that the number of vampire scythes this time is far less than the first vampire scythe, and it can't even slow down Chu Tianjiao's speed.
Words and spirits can distort the laws of physics, but this god-like power is not endless, and the current vampire scythe can't stop Chu Tianjiao even if it keeps circling and attacking in turns. Like a whale leaping out of the water, he rushed down the falling, isolated Eri Yi.
"Speech Spirit...... There's a limit, too, and I've learned. Eri muttered, closing her eyes again.
She seemed to have given up her resistance in front of Chu Tianjiao, who was getting closer and closer. There was no need for a giant sword to cut, and Chu Tianjiao's collision at this moment was enough to destroy the fragile Eri Yi. Of course, Eri Yi can use the vampire scythe as a fulcrum in the air to change direction as before, but the already precarious vampire scythe group will inevitably reveal a flaw after this transfer, and this flaw is enough for Chu Tianjiao to swing a sword with a desperate injury. With Chu Tianjiao's speed of sword and the speed of the spread of the qi blade, she couldn't dodge. It's a dead end.
It's a dead end, if ...... Her words are the words of a vampire scythe!
The moment before Chu Tianjiao collided with Hui Liyi, Hui Liyi opened her eyes suddenly. The crimson in those beautiful pupils was replaced by gold, and a ...... appeared in her pupils Golden tides!
Blood!
