Chapter 36: The Encounter (Part II)
The silver-masked "Eternal Blood" rode the gale in the direction of Eusta Manor, and the cold light gleamed in its black eyes as deep as the sea.
Since becoming the master of the "Eyes of Chaos", his attitude towards combat has changed significantly. As long as you pick up this musket that contains the power of the secret ritual, the incomparably strong battle intent in your heart will be irrepressible. Even though the memories before the time travel were vague, Eternal Blood was quite sure that he had never been so eager to fight in his life.
Still no news from Lijie and them. Do they know about the disaster at Eusta Manor? Are they also worried about returning help? No...... It's better not to be like this, thought to Eternal Blood.
Meria can't be trusted, and a mortal warlord like Lizzie shouldn't be involved in the spellcaster's war. The enemy is cunning, but no matter what traps they have prepared, it is enough to have their own one.
"Anyone who challenges the authority of the Federation will be killed."
In the bottom of my heart, "Eternal Blood" has a faint premonition. But he didn't know where this feeling came from.
……
Meanwhile. Over the estate.
John? The light around Gothic was slightly distorted. Even if someone looks at where he is, all he sees is air.
The young mage had been here since the beginning, silently observing everything in his invisible form.
Victoria said that she was like the hero of the play. But he, the number one mage genius in the legal country, is not necessarily happier than a mediocre mage apprentice.
John? The song is especially no choice. As long as he is still the "star of the stars" of the French power, he must shoulder his due responsibility. Once an unexpected change occurs on any battlefield, he will join the battle as the final anchor of the sea god.
"I hope this time, I can be safe until the end." Goth shook his head slightly, playing with the strange silver cube in his hand.
---------------------------
And the fierce battle between Linna and Lijie has also broken out.
Lijie's straight stab brushed against Linna. The steel spear in the black armor general's hand was like a swimming dragon, and the moment the blow missed, it immediately turned into a stab and swept straight into Lin Na's waist. Linna made an iron bridge—Lijie's steel spear swept over her nose, whirring, and then immediately rolled on the ground, retreating to the side and back, while raising her sword to protect herself, avoiding Lijie's pursuit.
Unexpectedly, it is a short attack and a long one, Li Jie said in her heart. Don't you understand that this is self-defeating? Your sword can't break through my gun, but if you have the slightest flaw, my gun can kill you.
The temptation is over. The black-armored female general firmly locked on to her opponent with a pair of bright eyes, waiting for her opponent to make the first move.
But the female swordsman in red on the opposite side showed a fearless smile.
"I gave you three moves," Lin Na said heartily, "That's your full strength?" Or is it temptation? From now on, I will fight you with all my might. "I'd love to fight with you a little longer, Lin Na thought, but unfortunately, this girl is in the same hurry as you. It's okay for you to solve it in one go, right?
And Lijie also laughed angrily: "Interesting." You're trying to say you're still retaining your strength? It's been a long time since anyone dared to say such big things in front of me. ”
"Drink!"
"Death!"
Almost at the same time, with angry shouts, the bodies of the two moved. The sword and the steel gun, the weapons of the two collided together for the first time-
And the result of the mutual angle of forces is the complete collapse of the steel gun side.
"How is that possible?!"
Li Jie's figure flickered, and she took a few steps back, her eyes full of shock. Her wrists were tingling. The enemy's strength is overwhelming—not even the most famous generals known for their strength have ever suppressed themselves in a one-on-one duel.
And Lin Na was also a little surprised.
"I've used seventy percent of my strength, I didn't expect you to be so able to fight," Lin Na said approvingly, the powerful power of the secret rituals circulating throughout her body, "I'm sorry - it seems that I can't contain you without harm." ”
If the enemy was an ordinary soldier, Lin Na would naturally be able to take down in an instant with her absolute superiority in skills, but the spear skills of the female general in front of her were not under her own swordsmanship, and she had no other way but to overwhelm the opponent with the strength and speed advantage of the secret warrior. If she didn't have the "Sword of Dawn" in her hand, the female swordsman in red thought to herself, she would be defeated by the opponent within ten moves.
And Lijie gritted her teeth. She felt that she saw this battle as a duel to the death, and that the other party regarded herself as a high-level miscellaneous fish who was only slightly stronger than the average soldier. This is frustrating, but it is true.
There was simply no time to think. Linna's stormy offensive has arrived.
“……”
Defend!
Lijie brandished her spear into a shadow, trying her best to resist Linna's attack. In fact, apart from one-sided defense, the current Lijie really can't do anything. Every attack from the other party seemed to completely crush him. It's been a long time since Lijie has experienced this feeling of being powerless to fight back.
However, Lijie did not give up. From the moment she first stepped on the battlefield, Lijie had an awareness in her heart. You may be wounded, you may die in battle, you will be humiliated like never before, but at any time, as long as you can still wave the gun in your hand, you will never give up fighting.
Fierce battles continue. Suddenly—
Tick.
A drop of blood fell to the ground at Lijie's feet.
Linna's attack stopped.
"Uh...... Ha...... Ah, what's wrong," Lijie looked puzzled, "Why did you stop." Don't you continue to attack? ”
"Nineteen swords," Lin Na stood with a horizontal sword, "I attacked you with nineteen swords." Every sword was with all your might, but you still blocked it. ”
"So what."
"Your hand," Lin Na whispered, "no problem. It's bleeding. ”
Lijie bowed her head slightly. The opponent's strength was too terrifying, and he resisted her nineteen swords in a row, and his own hand could no longer hold it.
"So what," Lijie snorted, "I haven't fallen yet." Go ahead. ”
"That's fine," Lin Na nodded, "and as a sign of respect, I'll continue to attack with all my might." How about taking one of your arms as a trophy? ”
"If you can do it."
The two of them regained their stance. Lijie's steel gun trembled slightly.
The battle had come to this, and Lijie had almost guessed the source of the opponent's strength. She's strengthened herself with powerful magic items, and maybe even a Mystic Warrior - not the same thing in essence?
Raise your gun again to block the enemy's sword. The pain of the hands piercing the heart. If it goes on like this, blocking one or two more swords at most is the limit.
Lijie doesn't like to fail. However, if you are in a desperate situation, it is the right choice to choose to bow your head for the time being, in order to make a comeback in the future. Lijie herself has experienced countless difficult choices. She is a military commander who leads the army, not a lone freedom fighter. She must be responsible for herself, the lives of her subordinates.
The reason why the black-armored female general chose to fight to the end is because she has seen the opportunity to turn defeat into victory in the "desperate situation". Her pursuit is not only to repel the opponent, if she can't capture or kill the enemy on the spot, it will be her own failure.
While!
Another head-on slash. Guns and swords clash. Lijie's hands were already drenched in blood, as if she couldn't support it anymore, she staggered back, her fingers tried to grip the steel gun, but she didn't listen to the call, and finally, the steel gun slipped out of her hand-
And Linna stepped forward. She really planned to cut off one of Lijie's arms. And what Lijie was waiting for was this moment.
"Drink!"
The steel gun has not yet fully landed. Li Jie's left boot stretched slightly, and she kicked the steel gun, and re-grasped the barrel of the gun with her right hand.
At this distance, Linna's head, throat, and heart were all within Lijie's attack range. And even if Lin Na straightened the long sword, the tip of the sword could hardly touch Lijie's black armor.
When the battle is over, ask the councillor or the "eternal blood" for a temporary physical enhancement item. Previously, Lijie was reluctant to use magic weapons in line with the principle of "fighting soldiers, generals against generals", but it seems that the future battle will not be like the Okadian Civil War, and our spellcasters may not be able to arrive in time, so it is safer to be prepared.
"Die!"
Lijie's spear head flashed silver. With all the strength of her life, the black-armored woman will wield a steel spear. Although he was seriously injured on the hand, the blow was still powerful. A move that once took the lives of many powerful generals, now it is heading towards Lin Na's throat. The vital point of the female swordsman's body was already shrouded by Lijie's spear shadow, and the reaction time left for her was too short, and there was no sword move that could help her survive under this move.
"Sword light!"
At the moment when life and death were decided, Lin Na's eyes seemed to be lit with flames. I have decided to use the means of martial artists to win, and I really didn't expect that I would come to this point.
Linna's longsword had turned into a golden light.
Lijie's gun was like lightning. However, it is impossible to pass the light quickly.
Secret Ritual - The Web of Sword Light!
The countless sword lights that shot from the Sword of Dawn instantly overwhelmed Lijie. Most of the tiny sword lights dissipated when they touched Lijie's armor, but some of the sword lights passed through Lijie's body, stabbing bloody wounds on Lijie's shoulders, arms, chest, abdomen, and legs. The light gathered from all directions on the golden light turned into the "Sword of Dawn" in Lin Na's hand, and the sword light elongated and elongated, and then—
The light pierced through Lizzie's black armor and through her heart.
Laugh at!
Because the master's hand suddenly became weak, the spear that Lijie stabbed at Lin Na fell on Lin Na's shoulder. Blood poured out of the blood tank.
And the Sword of Dawn, which had been transformed into a network of light, was also reunited. The sword pierced through the black-armored general's chest, causing her heart to stop. In the face of Lijie's final counterattack, Lin Na has no way to control people without killing.
One is alive and the other is dead.
This is the end of the battle.
……
The moment Linna hits herself, Lijie knows she's defeated.
Her bruised body fell to the ground. She did not let go of her spear until she died. There was darkness in front of you, and the world was gradually getting cold. Is this what death feels like? It's also an ending suitable for a general.
In the moments before she lost consciousness, Lijie heard a young man shouting. It was the voice of "eternal blood".
"Yes...... Rise. ”
That was Lijie's last thought. Then her soul flew out of her lifeless shell.
……
Goth's heart moved. The cube in his hand shimmered.
