Chapter 25: The Pursuit
"Hmm......" After only one sword confrontation, AgatΓ© couldn't help frowning - not to mention that this sword looks strangely shaped, but in terms of the opponent's sword skills alone, it can be said that it is so wonderful that it hit the center of gravity on his side, and the powerful force backlashed along his hands, shaking Agat's hands numb.
"It's just a warning." The other party said coldly, "My sword skills, the young man over there must have a deep understanding. β
"yes, it's amazing." Heiliga said softly, his right hand clenched with the wind blade, "But ......"
Helika's body disappeared from the spot, and in the next second, he appeared behind the man, and a stabbing blow was about to stab the masked man's shoulder-
Brush! The sword was inserted into the man's armpit with unmistakable accuracy, but it did not have the kind of misaligned feel that he had imagined. Just as Heliga was stunned, the man in front of him disappeared into a cloud of smoke, and a few steps away, the man seemed to be looking at him with interest.
"Clone's combat skills?" Heliga asked softly.
"That's right...... Your blow is in line with the rumors I've heard about your strength, but ...... "Raise that strange weapon," you can't get enough of me. β
As soon as he finished speaking, the man rushed towards Hyliga and AgatΓ© in an extremely alarming manner. That kind of murderous aura made the two of them get goosebumps all over their bodies, but they were extremely fast and fierce, and they couldn't dodge, so they couldn't help but pick up their weapons and try to take this blow hard-
However, the imaginary swift blow did not come. When Helriga looked up, he found that the man and the two men in black had disappeared, and it seemed that the other party had taken advantage of the gap just now to escape quickly.
"Damn it......" AgatΓ© thumped at the wall in exasperation, "how did he escape from such a high place?" β
"I didn't feel the smell of him leaving the entrance...... "Fei shook her head.
"No problem......" Haliga had a foreboding feeling in his heart, and he ran in three steps and two steps to the outer edge of the tower, where the traces of the steel cables that had been dragged to pieces were clearly visible.
"Unbelievable...... AgatΓ© was stunned, "it can't jump from here, does it?" β
"Quite possibly." Joshua also came up and analyzed, "This steel cable is very strong, and there will be no problems with normal use...... And the reason it looks so tattered is because ......"
"Because the masked man was in a hurry to escape, so ......" Estelle nodded, understanding something.
"With two people, fall from this almost vertical angle...... "Heiliga shook his head and turned to Fei: "Fei, what do you think, Xi...... No, is anyone we've ever met before who can do it? β
ββ¦β¦ Except for the regimental commander, there should be none. Heliga almost said Zephyr's name, but Fei naturally understood it, and only said the word regiment leader, which made people confused about the specific information.
ββ¦β¦ In other words, this person is a master at the level of a regiment commander......? Heiliga shook his head, feeling incredulous, "If that's the case, then AgatΓ© and I are definitely not his opponents......"
While he was thinking, Heliga was interrupted by an exclamation, which was the exclamation of Kolos, "Mr. AgatΓ©! β
"The bastard secretary will be handed over to you!" AgatΓ©'s shout reached the top of the tower through a distance of dozens of cels, "I'm going to chase that guy!" Report this incident to Jain, and follow his instructions! β
"What a mess......" Helliga pouted, didn't AgatΓ© see that he was no match for that man at all?
"The steel rope is completely unusable." With AgatΓ©'s tug, the steel cable, which could have been connected well, has become even worse, and it looks like it can be dragged into a pile of scrap metal with a little more gravity.
"It's a terrible state of affairs." Fei sighed lightly and looked at Helriga: "What next?" β
ββ¦β¦ I'm going to chase that guy from AgatΓ©, he's in a hurry and hasn't covered up his whereabouts, so it should be easier to find. β
"But the man ......," Cross's tone was full of concern.
"Don't worry...... As long as he doesn't mess around, he won't be a killer. He's far superior to all of us, but he still hasn't tried to kill us, which only shows that he was reluctant to kill us for some reason from the beginning...... As long as you can maintain the status quo and don't try to touch his bottom line, it's fine...... I'm just going to take care of Brother AgatΓ©, and I'm not going to do anything superfluous. β
ββ¦β¦ Well, you can go for it. We will take care of these people......"
"Yes, he did it himself, but he was injured in the leg......"
ββ¦β¦ Be careful. Fei looked at Helliga with concern for a while, but finally nodded, just softly admonished.
"Hmm." Heliga nodded solemnly and sped towards the entrance.
I will return safely, just as I am confident that you will rescue the children and appear before me unscathed.
This tacit understanding...... Won't lose to anyone.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
"Hmm...... It's a pretty fierce fight. As soon as he reached the woods not far from the tower, Helriga heard the crisp sound of swords clashing. Many large trees have been carved deep marks, while some smaller trees have been cut off directly.
"With irrepressible passion to wield heavy pieces of iron...... You...... It's kind of like me. "When you walk in, you can see that the masked man is calmly looking at AgatΓ©, who is constantly panting. Looking around, the two men in black had long since disappeared, and I don't know if they were transferred by the helpers or hidden by special methods.
ββ¦β¦ What ......" AgatΓ© was stunned, and his fierce momentum was inexplicable.
"I was bound by despair because of my weakness...... That's what your eyes say. The masked man said leisurely.
AgatΓ©'s muscles writhed and his joints creaked. However, an unexpected young voice interrupted him to vent his anger.
"Still so talkative......" Helliga stepped out from behind the tree, staring intently at the masked man.
ββ¦β¦ I can see you're waiting there a little impatiently, but ...... "The masked man is half serious, half joking," interrupting someone else is a little incomprehensible, right? Moreover, it does not conform to the upbringing that the nobility of the empire should have. β
"Upbringing?" Helliga smiled, "I'm sorry, no one has taught me, for those outlaws who dare to target the common people, you must also maintain the education and demeanor that the nobles of the empire should have." β
"Alas...... To be honest, I don't really hate straight people like you, including the one over there. "There's no point in continuing to fight, let's just shake hands and make peace, right?" β
"Enough of the jokes!" AgatΓ©'s forehead was bruised, and he stood up and roared with all his strength, his voice so loud that Helriga felt some swelling pain in his eardrums, "If I don't make a sound, you'll just play the piano and talk nonsense!" Look how I smash your mouth! β
"Agatte, calm down, he's obviously trying to you off on purpose." Hyliga persuaded, but the red-haired young man beside him couldn't care about this, and his whole body was full of fighting energy, pouring into his hands, as if he was about to make the next move.
"Alas, since that's the case......" Seeing that the persuasion was ineffective, Heliga had to change his plan, "then I can only accompany you first......"
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
P.S: It is true that the steel rope will not break in normal use...... However, like the Sword Emperor, if you force a quick exit, it may cause the force on the steel cable to exceed the maximum elastic limit of the steel itself...... It will cause permanent damage to metal materials~
