Chapter 245: Hard Mouth and Soft Heart
With the ejection of the Right Arm Hidden Blade, ?and? The runes lit one after the other.
Skaha tried to dodge as little as she could, but the Hidden Blade grazed her left arm, and the gray-black mist flickered across Skaha's snow-white skin.
"Drink!"
In the midst of a close-range grappling, Skaha's spear could not be used for the time being, and while her arm was scratched, her left leg suddenly bent her knee and lifted up, aiming directly at the inner thigh that naturally opened when Lu Xiao stepped forward.
"Flirting with legs?!"
Regardless of the victory, Lu Xiao, who was attacked, immediately retracted his steps and clamped Skaha's knee in the posture of a two-word pincer, intending to delay time.
'Come, come! Which attribute was chosen at random for the curse? β
The close-quarters short fights in a small area are more uncomfortable for the two opponents with long weapons.
Lu Xiao can use the stealth of the Hidden Blade to pose some threats to Skaha, but even if she is empty-handed, the strength of the Queen of the Shadow Country is still amazing, and she has forced Lu Xiao's offensive back.
The right leg covered by the leggings was on Lu Xiao's slightly curved left thigh, and Skaha took the opportunity to leap backwards, using the magic gun to send out a series of stabbing attacks before he landed.
"Bell! Clang! Clang! β
Immortal slashing point-to-point difficulty to block the opponent's attack, Lu Xiao gradually felt that something was wrong.
Skaha saw Lu Xiao's doubts, and after re-opening the distance, he looked at the abrasion on his left arm.
"What are you waiting for? You're not expecting the curse to strike, are you? This kind of thing is useless to me. β
"I already have the countless curses that the gods left behind before they died, and there is no point in adding new ones."
Lu Xiao was stunned for a moment, then sighed with a wry smile: "I see, it seems that I have been busy again." β
Skaha looked at the arm armor of Lu Xiao's right arm: "That's not it, at least it made me see your new possibilities." β
The surprise attack plan failed, and the ensuing battle was just a recreation of the results of the previous encounter, at most a little different in the process.
"Ha~"
Lu Xiao lay on his back on the gray-black floor of the castle martial arts training ground, staring blankly at the gloomy sky where he could never see the sun.
"Sure enough, it still failed."
Sihaka stuck the magic spear on the ground, stepped out of his sturdy legs and squatted down beside Lu Xiao, raising his arm armor to observe carefully.
Skaha didn't sweat after the strenuous exercise, but instead her body wafted from a faint fragrance that was difficult to explain under the intensified blood circulation.
'Body odor? Is there really such a thing......
"Lu Xiao, you also have a similar weapon in your left arm, right?"
"Huh?"
Lu Xiao, who was distracted for a moment, immediately came back to his senses: "That's right." β
Removing the arm armor suit that normalized and hidden his left arm, Lu Xiao also brought his left hand in front of Skaha.
"These two Hidden Blades were made in pairs by the King of the Dwarves, using very precious demonic metal, and the Hidden Blades are also engraved with the Primordial Rune Rune, and I only recently unlocked the effect of the second layer of Rune after learning the Primordial Rune."
When the dwarf king Atri handed over the Hidden Blade to Lu Xiao, he reminded him that the runes on the Hidden Blade would be unlocked by itself according to Lu Xiao's personal strength.
After experiencing the baptism of the wolf world and the Holy Grail War one after another, Lu Xiao's strength has reached the conditions for the second layer to be unsealed, and he was only stuck on the verge of unlocking it because he didn't fully understand the runes of Rune.
Rune burning on different materials will have completely different effects, and even Skaha can't say that he has mastered all the variations of Rune Rune.
Uru metal is a specialty of the Marvel world, and Skaha has never seen it before, so naturally there is no way to analyze it.
"Lu Xiao, what effect can the runes of these two Hidden Blades have?"
Since Skaha asked, Lu Xiao didn't plan to hide his secrets, anyway, his raid plan had failed.
"The Right Hidden Blade can break all defenses and inflict a random curse on the wounded, greatly reducing one of the opponent's physical attributes."
"The Left-Hand Hidden Blade has a solidified concealment effect, and it is also highly toxic when it cuts through the skin of enemies."
"Poison ...... Is it? β
Skaha's seductive scarlet eyes flashed thoughtfully.
As the Queen of the Shadow Realm, who has slain countless gods, Skaha's body can protect against curses, but not poison.
"If you attack with your Hidden Blade in your left hand today, this battle might be your victory."
Skaha's gaze fell fixedly on Lu Xiao's incomprehensible face, a trace of struggle and hesitation flashed in her eyes, and finally she sighed.
"Your raid plan failed only because you didn't know me, and the plan itself deserves praise."
"I have seen your talent and hard work in the past month, and if you continue to progress at this rate, it will take about 130 years or so to defeat me with dignity."
Holding Lu Xiao's right hand and pulling him up from the ground, Skaha turned to look at the deserted castle, raising his hand to draw a set of primordial runes in the air.
The runes quickly changed form after forming, forming a magical guide line in mid-air, and at the same time, Skaha used the magic spear to cut a rift in the void, and the door to the outer "hall" of the world was opened.
"Let's go, you've won half of this battle."
Lu Xiao looked at Skaha's back in amazement: "Are you serious?" Once I leave the Shadow Country, it's almost impossible to come back, don't you want to end the battle? β
Skaha, who had his back to Lu Xiao, let out an inexplicable chuckle: "Don't make a mistake about it, arrogant boy. β
"You're not the only one with a nirvana effect, my stupid disciple CΓΊ Chulainn also has a one-hit magic spear."
"Before you appeared, I had put my hopes in CΓΊchulainn, expecting him to end my fate one day in the future, and you just gave me one more choice."
The unjust spirits of the Shadow Realm subconsciously wanted to leave along the passage to the outside world, but they were all killed one by one by the red magic spear wielded by Skaha.
The gusts of yin wind brought by the unjust souls blew up Skaha's long purple hair, and the faint fragrance of the hair inadvertently brushed over Lu Xiao's face.
After settling down, Lu Xiao let out a breath and said, "I really have a lot of things to accomplish, and I can't stay here with you." β
"Goodbye, Skaha, I'm sure one day in the future, we'll meet again."
"Heh~"
Skaha didn't turn around, still brandishing his spear like a cloud to stop the growing number of unjust spirits.
"If there really is a day, I hope you will fulfill your unfulfilled promise, my disciple."
"Now, let's go! Before I change my mind! β
Lu Xiao no longer hesitated, followed the magic guide line and crossed the door to the outer side of the shadow, and returned to the familiar chaotic space again.
"Huh~"
As soon as Lu Xiao left, the spatial rift behind him closed by itself, and the whirring wind of the magic spear could no longer be heard in the quiet space.
Skaha effortlessly resolved the injustices of the riot, and turned to look at the already empty training ground.
"It turns out that teaching disciples can also have fun, huh...... It seems that I've been alone in the Shadow Country for too long, so let's take a chance to sneak out and see the outside world. β
After the test of four worlds, Lu Xiao's will has been tempered enough to be tenacious.
He quickly shakes off the sadness of parting and focuses on the magic line that leads the way.
Like Rin Tosaka, Lu Xiao followed the guidance as he moved outside the world, and before he knew it, he had entered a space with a magnificent scenery - the Vortex of Roots.
"Ugh!"
The chaotic knowledge poured into his brain made the green tendons on Lu Xiao's forehead bulge, as if countless people were whispering to him through the magic vortex in front of him, forcibly instilling a large amount of useful or useless information into Lu Xiao's brain.
The root records all the things that exist in the world and the knowledge related to them, and of course there will be information related to the third dharma as well.
Most of the magicians who have reached the root in the past have never left, and it is not known whether their heads have been burned by the countless knowledge, or if they simply want to stay outside the world of the higher level and never go back.
Lu Xiao, like Rin, has no interest in staying in this place where birds don't, as long as he gets what he wants, Lu Xiao will leave here without any nostalgia.
Compared with Rin, who is still young, Lu Xiao has received meditation training and developed a stronger brain receptivity.
Holding back the throbbing pain in his head, Lu Xiao used the spirit wave to send his request into the depths of the root vortex.
"I want to gain core knowledge related to the third law."
