Chapter 34: Heads-up
John Goeth let out a sigh of relief.
"It's finally over......"
Behind him is the prison of the black floating city of "Palamedes". In order to regain the acceptance of the infamous floating city into the society of Elrios, Goth and his friends have gone to great lengths. And tonight, Goth secretly went to the dungeon, and it was an extremely important part of his plan.
"The first step of the plan went well. If nothing else, the city will be able to return to Elrios as normal. After all, ordinary people living here are innocent. ”
We must not let ordinary people living in the city be blinded by the world...... That's what Goth had in mind. As he walked through the streets of the Floating City, his resolve growing stronger.
"I don't know what's going on at the theater...... Goth thought of the girl's side.
Suddenly......
"What!" Goth was taken aback. Without warning, a stream of information appeared in his head out of thin air. It was a teleportation warning spell unique to Black Floating City.
"My Mage Tower...... Under attack? Just kidding, right? ”
------------------
Katerina Greccia is very upset right now.
She sensed it. The strength and speed of the woman in front of her are slightly inferior to herself, and her skills and combat experience are far inferior to herself. If it weren't for the fact that her secret ritual weapon "Bright World" was too weird, she would have won a long time ago.
The parasol is retracted, revealing a sharp tip that can be stabbed like a short spear! With a tough umbrella bone, it can also be smashed like a mace! Open the parasol, the umbrella surface is like a huge shield, not only can you defend, but also use the shield to hit the enemy by surprise! The edge of the parasol is extremely sharp, and when it is swung and swirled, the opponent has to guard against being cut!
Linna's "Sword of Dawn" is just a long sword after all...... No matter how subtle Lin Na moves, as long as the girl slightly deflects the open parasol, she can easily block it. And the girl's attack methods are varied, and Lin Na must be fully vigilant to ensure that she will not be hit.
"This guy ......" Lin Na was at a loss for a while. "The Bright World" made her restrain her hands and feet, and she had no strength, but she couldn't give full play to it.
And the girl also felt a lot of pressure.
"She's much stronger than the previous Federation Spellbreaker," the girl said in her heart, "If I had met her at that time, I'm afraid I would have been defeated in a few rounds." ”
In addition to resting these days, the girl often thinks about how to use the "Bright World" to fight in her head. By watching the battle scenes left by the previous user in her mind over and over again, the girl's moves at this moment are very different from when she first got the "Bright World".
Even if the skill of the girl improves...... is still pressed by Lin Na.
"Go." Lin Na stabbed with a sword, only to see that the "Sword of Dawn" emitted a golden light, and then turned out of thin air in the air, conjuring a web of light that refracted back and forth, pressing towards the girl. And the girl still just stretched out the parasol, and with an easy backward jump, Linna's attack missed.
"That's your trick?" Although there are many defensive positions and few offensive positions, the girl still does not forget to sarcastically mock the enemy.
Lin Na's face was solemn.
"If this stalemate continues, the battle will turn into a physical battle," she said anxiously, "...... deal with such an enemy"
Lin Na made a decision immediately. She's not afraid of a war of attrition, but that's not her style. Offset the disadvantage with Qimen weapons? Then you can't offset it!
"Drink!" The princess of the empire shouted violently, held the sword in both hands, and suddenly slashed at the girl!
"Block." The girl still used the umbrella to block the blow, but her hands were shocked and hurt, and she couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
Lin Na then made another horizontal slash, and the girl barely blocked it.
"It's not good," the girl's face changed slightly, "let her fight like this, every blow will hurt my hands...... Sooner or later, we won't even be able to hold the 'Bright World'. ”
Linna, on the other hand, smiled. Originally, she was a warrior who liked to overwhelm people with force, but it was only because she was later selected by the secret weapon "Sword of Light" that she changed to a fighting style that focused on speed and skill in order to adapt to the weapon...... At this time, the simple and crude attack method is in line with Katerina Grecia's nature.
"It's worthy of being the brute force girl with the most strength in my pen, it's a bit unbearable." The girl complained bitterly in her heart, and at the same time she was thinking about how to fight the enemy.
Suddenly, the girl's eyes lit up.
Lin Na changed to a straightforward combat method, and there were flaws in her moves. Taking advantage of the interval between Lin Na's sword stabs, the tip of the girl's umbrella stabbed Lin Na in the shoulder.
"Medium!"
Lin Na hurriedly dodged, but the girl's blow still cut through Lin Na's clothes and left a bloody mark on her arm.
"Huh?" The blow worked, and the girl hurriedly withdrew from the "Bright World" to turn it back into the form of a "shield". In the girl's prediction, Lin Na re-put on a posture and fought back with her sword, which will take time.
"Not good." When the girl notices that something is wrong, it's too late. Lin Na didn't attack with a long sword at all...... She flew up coldly and kicked the girl in the lower abdomen impartially.
"Woo-ah......!"
The girl's delicate body flew upside down like a cannonball, hitting a wall not far away. The stone wall collapsed, and the girl fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
The girl's fighting skills come entirely from the "Bright World". In terms of the changes in the face of the enemy, I don't know how much Lin Na is missing.
"Damn ......" Even though she grinned in pain, the girl still stood up with the support of the "bright world".
"How?" Lin Na looked at the girl's embarrassed appearance proudly, "I'll teach you one thing: injury is not terrible, as long as the opponent is more seriously injured than herself." ”
The girl is barely squeezing out a "smile".
"'It doesn't hurt at all,' I wanted to say that but it hurt," she said strongly, "and you're really hard at that." ”
"Are you going to give up?"
"How could it be. Let's move on. ”
[Hey, you're almost done, there's no need to be so desperate......] Xiaowei eagerly transmitted.
[I can't die anyway.] The girl replied.
[But I see you can't beat her? Xiaowei calmly stated the facts.
"Don't be too strong," Lin Na frowned, "Strength, speed, explosiveness, stamina, experience, skill, tolerance for pain, none of you are stronger than me." No matter how much you adjust your tactics, you won't win. ”
The girl smiled.
"Definitely. You have been practicing martial arts since childhood, and you have worked hard to become a secret warrior since you were a child, and you are still a genius among secret warriors. I'm a halfway layman, and I can't beat you in a fair fight......"
Lin Na was slightly stunned. What exactly was she trying to say?
"Even so......"
The girl's body suddenly shone brightly. With a strong roar, a pair of red lotus wings made of flames suddenly appeared behind her, constantly radiating a wave of destructive heat around her in the fanning, and even the "feathers" on it burst out with dazzling sparks. The maiden, on the other hand, sits in the center of the heat wave, looking down like a mythical Valkyrie.
“…… As long as you hurt as badly as I do, that's my victory! ”
Lin Na's face changed drastically. Both the "World of Light" and the "Sword of Dawn" have the ability to manipulate the fire element...... Give Lin Na time, she can do similar things to the girl, but now, it's too late!
"Drink!"
The girl opened the parasol, the "shield" was in front, her legs kicked violently on the ground, the eagle wings behind her moved slightly, and the whole person was like a flame meteor, rushing towards Linna!
"Oops!" Lin Na didn't even have time to dodge, so she could only use her sword to block the girl's earth-shattering collision...... Red glow began to appear all over her body, and she had apparently begun to manipulate the elemental power in the air.
Rumble!
There was a loud bang, and the girl's desperate blow made Lin Na fly out. The Imperial Princess didn't even have a chance to unload the impact, and fell to the ground like a stone, even leaving a shallow pit on the steps at the entrance to the Mage Tower.
"Now you're covered in dust, Your Highness the Princess." The girl smiled, admiring the way the enemy struggled to her feet. Lin Na's head rope fell off, her long blonde hair was messily draped over her shoulders, and there were faint blood stains at the corners of her mouth. The girl herself suffered a lot of shock, and at this moment she just endured the pain and pretended to stand as if nothing happened.
"Goo." Lin Na spat out two mouthfuls of blood, and finally straightened up, her face a little pale. She moved her limbs cautiously...... Fortunately, there were no serious fractures.
"How dare you learn and sell now," Lin Na said. She tore off her tattered sleeves and wiped the blood stains on her mouth, manipulating the elements to form wings is a relatively advanced skill for the secret ritual warrior, Lin Na, who studied under the legendary secret ritual warrior, never thought that the "immature" secret ritual warrior in front of her could still use this kind of attack, "I admit it, you are an opponent on a par with me." I'm still underestimated. ”
"If only you understood." The girl said.
"I don't think you're going to throw in the towel after giving me a heavy blow...... "I'm going to do my best to defeat you." Bear with the pain, and then I'll beat you until you can't stand up again. ”
"Let the horses come." The girl put on a posture again, completely ignoring Xiaowei [You are crazy! This is my body! The wail.
And yet—
The storm has changed dramatically.
In the eyes of the girl, Lin Na, who was standing on the broken stone steps and was about to charge a blow, suddenly stopped moving. In the next second, the Imperial Princess let out a muffled snort of pain, as if she had been hit in the chest by a giant hammer, and rolled down the steps, blood spurting wildly from her mouth......
"How-"
Before the girl could understand what was going on, the same fate befell her. The girl felt her head dizzy, and then the heavens and the earth turned upside down, and she fell straight to the ground, her chest hurt as if it was torn, and she couldn't help but exhale in pain.
[It's an arcane spellcaster.] Raids from mages. On the contrary, Xiaowei reacted the fastest.
"Mage? In other words, ......" The girl gritted her teeth, turned over and got up, holding the ground with one hand, and holding the secret weapon "Bright World" with the other, maintaining a half-kneeling posture, her eyes searching for the enemy. The same is true of Linna, not far away.
The eyes of the two of them stopped at the top of the stairs. That's the entrance to the giant mage tower. There was already a man standing there. He had short brown hair, pale golden eyes like stars, and a black robe fluttering in the breeze.
"When I wasn't at home, you guys really made a big fuss." John Goth's expression was like frost.
