Chapter Thirty-Three: Rapid Showdown! Owen vs Sparrow
In the main hall where the moonlight could not reach, the cold magical light of the dome pierced the darkness and cast onto the cold ground. The main hall can accommodate more than 3,000 people, and the empty space is filled with dusty air.
The short clashing sound and murderous whistling sound, like the mourning of the dead coming from the depths of Hades, rose and fell in this strange silent place like a tomb. Under the dim and cold light, the two figures, which were not visible to the naked eye at all, chased each other, like two erratic ghostfire phosphorescences.
The two crescent-shaped blades, with a killing intent worthy of their master's, struck Owen with an air-tearing roar. At first, Owen's punch speed could still catch up with the speed of the sparrow's swing, and the two were evenly matched, but as the sparrow's speed became faster and faster, nearly 200 cuts per second, leaving Owen with only the power to parry.
What was originally two figures chasing and colliding with each other gradually turned into a strange scene of Owen standing in place to defend and dozens of sparrows besieging him, it was not a spiritual attack that interfered with vision or magic that created illusions, but the speed of the sparrows far exceeded the range that the naked eye could catch, producing countless afterimages in the ultra-high-speed movement.
Sparrow's intentions are very obvious, she has been hunting for Owen's life from the beginning, and every knife is aimed at the latter's fatal point, overwhelmingly forcing Owen into a disadvantageous situation.
At this time, Owen was completely suppressed by the woven blade curtain, and stepped back. The sparrow's speed is still improving, far beyond the level that Owen can catch up, if it weren't for the super sensing ability of "Heaven and Man" to locate the direction of the crescent-shaped blade for him in time, I am afraid that he would have been dismembered. However, Owen was not beaten all the time, and he looked around in search of a way to twist his shape. What he saw at that time was a pile of rubble a few meters away—the one he had made by breaking the pillar of stone during his fight with Muffle.
"That's it!" Owen risked being cornered and had no way out, rushing towards the pile of rubble he was looking for. The sparrow chased Owen as he scurried with the blades of his hands. And Owen was always able to avoid it before the sharp blade sliced through the skin on his back before he was at the last moment. He leaped forward as he rushed to the pile of rubble.
The jump slowed Owen down for a moment. The sparrow seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, accelerating under his feet and continuing to thrust forward, the crescent-shaped blade mercilessly slicing Owen into scraps. However, she didn't notice that she stepped on the gravel pile under her feet, and she slipped unexpectedly, and the whole person staggered forward.
"Bang!" was a dull sound of bones shattering.
The sharp blade of iron swept across Owen's cheeks and shoulders, and as he leaped forward, he had already taken advantage of the momentum to roll over and kick, his hands on the ground and somersault in front of him, and his left foot struck the golden bell upside down, kicking the forehead of the unsteady sparrow, and the huge impact made the sparrow fly backwards.
There was a slight pause in the fierce fighting. The two sides of the enemy were less than 10 meters apart, and the fierce targets were facing each other in the air. The sparrow's forehead was sunken inward, and Owen's kick not only broke her head, but also shattered her skull, and Owen was even more wolf by comparison, he had been slashed at least 8 or 9 times, and he was scarred and bleeding. Even if "Heaven and Man in One" can allow him to sense the direction of the opponent's attack, he can't avoid it 100%, and when there is no way to avoid it, Owen can only use the non-lethal parts of his body to resist the damage. This battle allowed him to more accurately appreciate the true strength of the Eight Sages.
Although Owen won a complete victory in the battle with Muffer, he was not unscathed, and the motor nerves that controlled his limbs were all cut off by Muffle's magic, and he could only use his mental power to manipulate his limbs, but his movements were slower than when the nerves were directly innervated; however, at this time, Owen knew quite well that even if his nerves were not cut, the situation would not necessarily improve, because the speed of the sparrow was too fast.
"It's really the fastest of the Eight Sages, the 'smart' sparrow, you are really difficult to deal with. Owen sighed.
"Hmph!" the sparrow sneered as he licked Owen's blood on his blade, "Each of the Eight Sages has different abilities. Miss Ben has watched you fight with Muffle, and that fellow has been defeated by you because he has been restrained by almost all his abilities, but don't be complacent and think that the same trick can be used against Miss Ben. ”
After sucking human blood, the sparrow's shattered skull quickly recovered, and even the wound on his forehead that had been kicked gradually disappeared. What was supposed to be a lose-lose situation turned into a one-sided advantage in an instant.
However, Owen was not intimidated by this sharp turn of disadvantage, he shook his finger and said, "You are indeed fast, but this speed of Cheng Dù is not enough to kill me." I just need to get past your speed. ”
Faster than me?, Sparrow's eyes widened, and she thought she had misheard. But Owen suddenly disappeared in front of her! The sparrow subconsciously blocked forward with his blade, but felt a faint air flow behind him. Owen was already behind her, raising his palm and slashing at the back of her neck.
Attack from behind?Sparrow smiled contemptuously. Owen's palm only slashed into the air, as the sparrow had left its place at a faster rate than before. Before Owen could make the move, he had sensed the opponent's high-speed movement to his back, and the sharp blade cut into his shoulders!
Not expecting such a strange trick at all, the sparrow froze for a moment and was knocked away by Owen a few meters away before he could react.
The palm that slashed the back of the opponent's neck was just a trick, Owen knew that the sparrow was a very strong guy, and he suddenly attacked from behind, and with her character, he would definitely retaliate with a tooth for a tooth, so at the beginning, Owen's attack focused on the back, and when the sparrow was knocked away by him, he took it when he saw it, and took the opportunity to rush forward a few steps, and the two started fighting again.
After the confrontation just now, although the balance of victory did not favor Owen, it sent a message to the Sparrows that the opponent would not be so easily defeated.
"Miss Ben really underestimated you, and she was able to increase her speed to that Cheng dù. But if you have to fight with the eldest lady, you are digging your own grave. Sparrow slowly raised her hand, and she stared at Owen's eyes, which gradually turned crimson.
"But I'm still alive and standing here, and it seems that you're no prouder than ever. Owen sarcastically said, "Hurry up and show me how fast you can go so I can get past it." ”
"Fastest speed?haha, pray for your ignorance. When a human is converted to a Bloodline, the speed is usually increased by 3 to 5 times faster than when he was alive, but this is only for other Bloodlines, and I can increase my speed infinitely. ”
"Unlimited speed?"
"Yes! In Miss Ben's dictionary, there is no 'fastest' at all, only 'faster'!"
As soon as the words fell, powerful magic poured out of the sparrow's body, the sharp tiger teeth stretched out from the upper lip, and the eyes completely turned as deep black as the universe.
Vampire! She has completely liberated all the power of the Bloodline!
The figure of the sparrow suddenly disappeared beside Owen.
The sparrow could be seen moving at high speeds before, but now it is completely invisible, as her speed has broken through the sound barrier and surpassed the speed of sound. If before Owen just couldn't keep up with the speed of the Sparrows, now he is far above the latter. Under the supersonic onslaught of the sparrows, Owen couldn't avoid or fight back, so he could only be in a passive situation, his hands, back, and shoulders were cut by sharp blades in many places, and blood was splashed everywhere.
Owen doesn't have a body that heals as quickly as a vampire, and he can't play the desperate tactic of exchanging injuries for injuries. If this continues, Owen will really be cut by the sparrows, cut and deboned.
There is a way to crack any difficult offensive. After withstanding her opponent's blade with her body, Owen gradually mastered her movements. Suddenly, the wrist flicking the crescent-shaped blade stopped, and the sparrow, which was moving at supersonic speed, tripped over Owen's outstretched foot, lost its center of gravity, and fell out of the sound barrier. Owen took the opportunity to bully her and kicked her in the lower abdomen. The sparrow was kicked squarely and rolled several times before barely steadying its center of gravity and stopped.
"How did you do that?" asked the Sparrow, crossing his hands and looking at Owen incredulously. She couldn't believe that Owen could hit himself who was moving at supersonic speeds.
"This is what you call 'infinite speed'. It's too slow, even a turtle is faster than you. I really doubt the eyes of the vampire prince, how could he find a guy who is as slow as a snail to be the Eight Sages?" Owen sneered, as if he was not on the side that was at an absolute disadvantage.
"Look for death!" Owen's words made the sparrow angry, and she arched her waist, this time, she rushed at Owen at four times the speed of sound!
The real sensation of the twin blades slashing at her opponent came from her hands, and the sparrow's blades fluttered, easily slicing Owen into several pieces, but she felt a sense of emptiness with it. In fact, it was only Owen's robe that was shredded and mutilated by the sparrow's blade. Before the sparrow pounced on him, Owen quickly left where he was, leaving behind his coat, making his enemies mistakenly believe that he had hit the main body, when in fact he had only hit his clothes. As soon as the sparrow, which thought it had succeeded, burst out of the sound barrier, it ran head-on into a sharp metal object that flew towards him. In such a situation, the sparrow could not hide from it even if she saw it, and she did not necessarily see it.
"Wow......" A terrible scream rang out in the hall. The sparrow clutched her stomach and fell backwards, her face showing a pained expression, a handful of silver vertebrae stuck in her abdomen, and the smell of burning and choking white smoke were coming from where the silver spine had stabbed her.
The shape shì is twisted instantly. The sparrow pointed at Owen, the pain and excitement leaving her speechless. The silver vertebrae stabbed right at the part, which was the most important organ of the vampire - the liver, such a heavy blow not only caused severe damage to her deceased body, but also caused her vampire power to drain quickly, so that the sparrow almost lost its combat effectiveness, and it was extremely difficult to even stand, stumbling back a few steps, falling to the ground with a "pop", rolling his eyes, and spitting white water. And the silver vertebrae were still burning her body, and it didn't stop.
Owen came up to the sparrow, crouched down and said to her, "I know you can increase your speed endlessly, and I never doubted that. What I said just now was deliberately provoking you, and I didn't expect that your personality was even more impulsive and irritable than the rumors, and you were fooled so easily. ”
Hearing Owen's words, the sparrow reacted, and her left hand trembled as she lifted the crescent-shaped blade, but the tremor was too sharp to pick up the weapon steadily, causing it to fall to the ground with a "thud".
"You should know your weaknesses better than I do," Owen continued, ignoring the sparrow's feeble resistance, "while your speed can increase infinitely, your senses cannot. 4 times the human senses are your limit, when you reach 10 times the speed of humans, your sense of smell disappears, and when you exceed the speed of sound, you can't hear anything, and even your vision starts to blur. That's why when you attack me while you're moving at supersonic speeds, you'll be able to strike much slower than before, because you'll need more time for your weak vision to locate. And when you reach 4 times the speed of sound, that is, just now, you become blind and can't see anything. You can't see my golden cicada molting, and you can't see the silver vertebrae I throw. You lose out on your speed. ”
Although her body was burning, Sparrow's consciousness was awake, she knew that she had been plotted by Owen, but it was too late to regret it. The silver vertebrae, which Owen had used to pierce the illusion that Muffle had placed in front of the Soul Eater, had never appeared, and even though she had been cornered, Owen had not taken the silver vertebrae out, which should have aroused her suspicions, but her impatience caused her to ignore it, completely burying a battle that could have been won, and ending her life as a vampire......
The situation does not seem to be as bad as it seems. Suddenly, I felt the sharp pain in my abdomen disappear, and the burning sensation in my body gradually faded. Sparrow froze and saw that Owen had pulled the silver vertebrae out of her body.
"Why......" The pale lips twitched, and a weak voice sounded.
"Although you have killed me, I have no reason to kill you. The silver spine swirled between Owen's fingers.
After answering the sparrow's question, he got up and walked into the depths of the hall without looking back, leaving only one sentence: "Do not do anything superfluous, just lie there and do not move, or you will be reduced to ashes." ”
