Act I: Guns Beyond the Earthly I

"Akane, I remember you were called by that name, right?"

In the darkness, a voice was like a bolt of lightning streaked across Akane's mind, and those in desperate situations were often the most acute, so she could instantly tell that it was the long-silent voice of Owena, the Holy Lance Firmament; What's more, she had opened her heart to each other in a hall somewhere underground in Ampesel, and made a sacred contract, so she would never be mistaken.

Akane was as excited as a drowning man grasping at a life-saving straw, and the Cruz nobles were arguing not far away, but at this moment her heart was no longer hesitant, as if she had settled. She looked weak and pleading, and Owena saw it, but only asked, "Do you want me to save you?" ”

The girl nodded incessantly, tears welling up in her eyes.

"It's too weak, Akane," Ovina sighed, "The Azure Spear is a blade that guards the mortal world - I once asked you, 'The sky shatters, the stars fall to the ground, it is the history of mortals conquering their fate, can you feel the courage contained in this qiē meaning?' ’。 The last time I heard your answer, your heart is in my heart, but bravery is not stubbornness and unyielding, but wisdom, you lack such wisdom, understand? ”

Akane shook her head in a daze.

"So, can you fight again?"

Akane flickered slightly, then nodded vigorously. The nobles led by Babaan were arguing so loudly that he was knocking the leading noble officer to the ground with a punch, and then scuffling together, and everyone was persuading, so that no one noticed the subtle movements of the mountain maiden.

"That's good." Ovena seemed to be completely unconcerned about the nobles' movements, and nodded in satisfaction; Originally, those people seemed to her to be as small as dust, so although Akane was still weak, she would never allow her contractor to lose to a few ants, it was purely a matter of pride.

"The man who shot you just now is slightly stronger than you, and the crossbow in his hand is probably a weapon like the Silver Rose or a copy of it at all. It acts as a must-hit effect similar to that of spatial features, and also has a power drain effect. Since power-draining doesn't count as damage, it can bypass the undefeated fate that hurts you. ”

Owena changed her words: "But these are not problems, in the final analysis, you are too weak." If your lord were here, he wouldn't have been hit by those ants. The first thing you have to understand is that ants are ants, no matter how powerful the magic weapons they use, but their insight determines that they are unlikely to be a threat to truly powerful people. ”

"Now, you stand up, and let me tell you what the real battle is."

Akane was half-kneeling on the ground, her whole body was weak and weak, and her face felt groggy from the place where she had been beaten before. But when she heard Owena's words, she couldn't help but react. Stand up now? Can she beat those Cruz aristocratic soldiers in her current state? She asked, somewhat incredulously, "Now?" ”

"Of course, when I asked you if you could fight again, didn't you nod?" Owena replied as a matter of course.

It's one thing to be able to fight, but it's another thing to be able to win. If Brando was here, I'm afraid she would have to wonder if Owena was taking it for granted, but Akane was much more innocent, and she instinctively felt that Owena would not harm him, so she chose to trust it completely and gritted her teeth. Staggered to his feet.

Several Cruz nobles who were arguing suddenly fell silent, and first the person directly opposite Akane noticed the girl's unusual behavior. Then the others followed his gaze in this direction, and they all turned their heads and looked at her with some confusion, their expressions almost identical.

What does she want to do?

After a while, someone whistled: "Babaan, this woman you fancy is really stubborn!" ”

"I'm afraid you'll have it!"

Babaan pushed away the nobleman who was scuffling with him. Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, he got up from the ground, he walked over to Akane, and said with a bad face: "Madam, you are seriously injured, there is no need to fight anymore." I swear by the honor of nobility. Never let them hurt you again, surrender, we will give you the treatment of a knight. ”

Akane pursed her lips and said nothing.

Ovena looked at the bloodless face in pain but still stubborn as a girl, and couldn't help but nod again with satisfaction, her contractor doesn't need to be too strong, but she must have a crystal pure and noble heart. The girl in front of her liked her very much, and she had some doubts when she agreed to allow Brando to let Akane pick up the firmament, but now she had to admit that the human choice was very insightful.

Indeed, compared to himself, Akane has more power to own the Azure Spear, and the meaning of the Azure Spear is to protect the earthly world, "And that guy, most of the time has his own way to go......" Owena shook her head and thought, "The Azure Spear does not belong to him, compared to it, it seems that the thing is tailor-made for him." ”

Akane didn't answer. Ba Ba N was pushed away by the leading aristocratic soldier who got up from behind him, and the guy sneered and drew his sword, and said as he walked towards Akane, "It seems that this little beauty is not as obedient to you as you say, Ba Ba An." ”

"What do you want to do, Ferok!" Barbyan roared.

"Babaan, please find out the current situation," the aristocratic soldier's face turned cold, and he spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm, which was still the memorial that Babaan had left him just now, and the heavy punch made him choke. He grinded his teeth and replied, "How much time do you think we can waste here, if that hillbilly count finds out about our plans, you, me, and all the people here, no one will survive." That hillbilly nobleman, but there are two dragons around him to help him, who are we here to match those two dragons, you, or me? ”

He waved his sword and sneered: "So, if you can't convince your little beauty, then leave it to me to put her down, don't worry, I won't kill her, she is our baby now." But it's a pity, since I made a move, then a little flesh and skin pain is inevitable. ”

"Stop," Babaan interrupted, "she struck me, and it was the arrow of the Throat of the Silver Dragon, and she couldn't hold it for long." You don't need to do it at all. ”

"Has she fallen, in the face of this little girl who can still stand up after being hit by an arrow in the throat of the silver dragon, should I question whether your ancestral weapon is a fake, or question your crappy third-rate archery technique?" Ferok scoffed.

Babaan was speechless, and he couldn't help but look at the silver crossbow in his hand, and he was also a little suspicious. The throat of the silver dragon is their family's ancestral fantasy weapon, legend has it that this crossbow was found from the heart of the tree after an earl cut down a white oak tree by the ancestor of their family, this crossbow itself is more powerful than most magic crossbows and even magic heavy crossbows, and its arrows also have the power to absorb power and spirit, and it has always been invincible in battle, this time he was secretly brought out of the house by virtue of the power of the first heir, originally intended to be used for self-defense, but I didn't expect to be exposed for the first time.

Babaan was silent for a moment, which was equivalent to giving Ferok a signal to make a move. The latter smiled cruelly and turned his head, and made up his mind to be angry with that little beauty in Babaan, although he would not kill Akane, but he would have to break her appearance or something. He thought to himself that it would be better to strike a sword on the lobes of the lungs or some other internal organ, so that the little beauty would be seriously injured but not die immediately, and it would be better to wait until he met His Majesty Xià and then died.

With such attention, he looked back and thought that he would see a sick little sheep to be slaughtered, but he never dreamed of it. Before he could see the other party's face clearly, he heard someone behind him remind: "Ferok." Be careful! "Ferok didn't think that Akane still had the ability to fight back, in fact, when he pulled her hair and slammed her against the wall just now, he could see that Babaan's Silver Dragon's Throat had not failed, although he didn't know how the little girl stood up, but the other party was really powerless just now.

Therefore, his first reaction when he heard the reminder was that he thought that Baba N had shot at him behind him. He looked back in shock and anger, not understanding how this guy could be so ignorant of what to do and how he dared to attack his own people. But he didn't expect to turn around, only to see that Babaan didn't make any movement at all, and in fact the other party was looking at him in amazement—no. Looking behind him, to be exact.

Ferok suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

It was also his last thought. With a soft snort, everyone saw a silver blade stab out of the Ferok vest, and the Cruz noble officer struggled for a moment, his eyes widened, as if he wanted to grasp something with his hand, and waved it in vain, but as soon as his hand was raised in the air, he suddenly hung down weakly, and his head was tilted to the side, and he completely lost his breath.

There was a deathly silence under the glacier for a while.

Everyone looked at the mountain girl behind Ferok's corpse with some horror, the previous blow was too weird, unlike Ferok, what they saw was the mountain girl staggering to her feet, and then striking a strange attack stance - everyone present could swear that they had never seen anything like it before.

It was as if Akane had suddenly disappeared from front of them, and although she was still there, all they felt was the cold law.

It's the law.

When Akane raised her spear and struck a blow, she didn't use any power at all, but the law of the entire space changed with her blow - the law ordered her to hit her opponent, so she hit her opponent.

This strange thought arose in everyone's hearts at this moment. Baban's face also changed, although he took a fancy to Akane, but it didn't mean that he was a fool, he immediately turned back to the others and shouted: "Jonon, Medatius, you guys from the side, help me buy some time, be careful, don't let her come near you!" ”

Ovena seemed to stand side by side with Akane, coldly looking at the two Cruz people who were trying to come up from the left and right, in her time, the Cruz people were still barbarians in the wasteland, and the Inirs of Faenzan were still slaves of the Minr people, but I didn't expect that one day these simple and inferior people of black iron would also have such an invincible time.

"The attack of the person on the left will arrive before the person on the right, you don't have to capture their movements, those are just appearances, you need to see all kinds of forces."

"It's like silver threads distributed in space, their size, direction and point of action are all predetermined, so no matter how they change, they are predictable, and from the moment they make a move, the result is doomed."

"This is the realm of ants, let me teach you how the real attack unfolds."

"A real attack?" Akane held the spear. Barely dodging the attacks of the Cruz nobles, she was almost overdrawn, but thanks to Ovina's command, she didn't need to move much to avoid the attack. As the latter said, as soon as those Cruz people made a move, she was naturally out of their range.

It's an amazing feeling. It's as if the two sides are guessing the boxing according to the script, agreeing that this round you will come out of the scissors and I will come out of the rocks.

Akane faintly felt that it was not the first time she had seen such a way of fighting, and there were a few times when she had indeed seen a similar situation in Brando's battle, and the opponent's swordsmanship seemed to have been expected by Brando, and when his enemy drew his sword, it was as if he was deliberately stabbing into the air. It looks ridiculous.

But now, the funny side has become her opponent.

The two Cruz aristocratic officers blushed with their bare ears, and fought with a seriously injured little girl for a long time, without even touching any oilskin, and how ugly and ugly the fight was, as if they were acting with each other, not to mention how sad it was. Outsiders also looked at it inexplicably, including Babaan. Of course, they don't think that their companion is acting with Akane, but this scene in front of them. It's a little too weird.

Owena watched coldly, until a moment suddenly reminded, "Close your eyes!" ”

Two long swords were stabbing at Akane, but as if it was an instinctive reaction, the mountain girl immediately closed her eyes, but the moment she closed her eyes, a strange scene happened. Suddenly, she 'saw' silver lines in the pitch-black space. The threads emerged and disappeared in the darkness, and two of them were stretching towards themselves.

She immediately understood what it was.

The two long swords were as flexible as snakes in the hands of a noble officer, but in Akane's eyes, they were two distinct lines. She only used to set up her spear in their established path, and with two crisp sounds, Jonon and Metheus staggered back in amazement, and they looked at their numb right hand, still not understanding for a moment how the other had guessed their line of attack.

"What's next for you to attack?" Ovena asked.

A sinuous silver thread appeared in Akane's eyes, stabbing at the starting point of the two silver threads in the darkness.

"Are you going to attack along this path, trust your own judgment?"

Akane was slightly stunned, because she had seen the two silver lines begin to change direction, blocking her attack route, and she was almost sure that as long as she attacked along this route, the other party would definitely defend it. She stopped, and changed the direction of her attack once or twice, but no matter how much her silver line advanced, the opponent could always block the direction of her attack at the last minute.

This made her frown.

But the mountain girl didn't know, she felt a little helpless at the same time, her two opponents were already in a cold sweat, Jonon and Mecius didn't understand how the little girl in front of them suddenly became powerful, at first they could only defend, and then slowly began to turn to counterattack, the route of counterattack is getting more and more tricky, if Akane tries a few more attacks, they are almost tied to death.

Fortunately, Babaan saw their predicament and immediately ordered the other two to join the warband.

However, even so, the four golden pinnacles of the existence of the previous seriously injured element manifested, and it was only a draw, and it was enough to shock the world when it was passed out.

But Owena was not satisfied.

"You still haven't departed from your inherent attack thoughts," she shook her head, "The Azure Spear is the guardian of the mortal world, but its true power lies in breaking the rules. ”

"Breaking the rules?"

"That is, do not be limited by your thinking, you try to free your way of attack from the vulgar lines, the lines of the law, which cannot bind the sky to a plane." Owena replied, "It's like I taught you how to shoot that shot at the beginning." ”

Akane paused slightly.

Then she withdrew the gun.

The next moment, the sky stabbed like an angry dragon at Jonon who stood in front of her. At first, Jonon was startled, thinking that he was going to die, but he suddenly saw that the opponent's gun had not changed at all, and he was stabbing straight at him, and he was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed—this shot was even worse than that of a beginner, and this must have been the end of the opponent's body, so he made such a rudimentary mistake.

Surprised, he directly raised his sword and set it up, thinking that as long as he could hold back Akane's attack, then the others would soon be able to subdue the other party.

But just as he thought so, he also saw the long sword in his hand 'choke' the opponent's spear, but at such a moment, he also saw the spear pierce his chest, as if it pierced Ferok, and also pierced himself. His eyes widened, and the completely contradictory scene in front of him seemed so harmonious in his eyes, as if he had blocked the other party's attack and at the same time failed to block the other party's attack, this contradictory conclusion was completely equal.

Then a sharp pain completely interrupted his train of thought.

It was as if plunged into endless darkness.
