Chapter 146: The Courage to Face It
For the first time, Octavir felt powerless or even helpless in the face of an enemy, and the girl never thought that her trump card unit would be manipulated by the other party from the beginning, and in the end, not only did she not become the combat power to blow up the abyss's dog's head, but became someone else's subordinate, this result was really ugly.
The eldest princess said that she absolutely couldn't accept it, but she didn't plan to be angry and desperate to launch a counterattack, now that the enemy has the advantage, it is wiser to find a way to break through and mobilize more troops from other places before coming back to find a field.
As for what would happen to the people on the other side of the camp, the girl didn't care at all, and after throwing Charlotte on Nakiris's back, she didn't hesitate to speed up, intending to quickly leave the battlefield under the cover of water vapor.
Teaming up with a little girl from another world and wearing strange mechanical armor to fight the enemy was something Octavir hadn't even thought about. Even if she thought of Nangong Rong before, it was just a subconscious reaction of the eldest princess, because she knew very well how much improvement the young man could provide for herself, coupled with the experience of fighting the abyss in another world, she was naturally the best candidate for teaming.
Well, at least in theory. However, even if Nangong Rong's goods are still alive and energetic at the moment, it is impossible for the eldest princess to run over to discuss the formation of a team with him, but will hide far away to enjoy the tearing battle between the boy and the abyss, and wait until both sides are injured before coming out to pick up the bargain.
Wouldn't it be the best way to clean up both sides in one go?, but unfortunately, the Abyss side also thought the same way, how could they watch Octavir, the son of the plane, leave in a dashing manner, focusing all their attention on the camp of only a few hundred people?
"Ah, Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, where are you going in such a hurry, isn't it okay to stay and have a meal together?"
In front of Octavier, who had already flown to the center of the lake, a beautiful black-haired girl appeared very suddenly, wearing a bold and revealing Gothic black dress, with a pair of black wings stretched out from the waist behind her back, except for the snow-white skin, it can be said that the whole person is black from head to toe. Although the girl had not introduced herself and had never heard her voice, the eldest princess somehow knew in her heart that she was Villetina or, should I say, Stephanie.
"Is this what you look like now?" Octavir didn't have the slightest intention of slowing down, and raised her three-pointed gun and rushed straight forward, "It's really pretty bad, hey!"
The black-haired girl tilted the corners of her mouth without answering, and gently turned sideways to avoid the eldest princess's stabbing blow, and then the left wing on her back swept towards the latter at an unbelievable angle and movement, and the strong sense of crisis made Octavir hurriedly turn her hand and block the opponent's wing with the barrel of her gun.
At the staggered moment of lightning and fire, the black feathers rubbed violently against the surface of the metal gun barrel and burst out a large number of dazzling sparks, and the eldest princess was even more deviating from the original flight direction under the action of a huge force, and it could almost be said that she was knocked out.
"It's fast and nimble, but it's clearly lacking in strength. Stephanie shook Octavir with her wings and raised her right hand gracefully, and soon a black ripple flashed through the air near the girl's right hand, and then a delicate pitch-black crossbow slowly emerged from the inside of the wave, and the golden rose pattern on the surface was very eye-catching, "Let me tell you what the real attack is." ”
The black-haired girl didn't aim seriously at all, she didn't even look at the current position of the eldest princess, and of course there was no such thing as predicting the girl's speed and the estimated amount of movement in advance, so she pulled the trigger at random and shot the crossbow arrow.
It would be a lie to say that Octavier wasn't annoyed by this, but Stephanie's previous [gentle sweep] of her wings had left too much of an impression on the girl, and she didn't explode in the end, and after turning sharply in the air, she mocked, "Are you looking down on people, how can that casual attack hit me!?"
Then Her Royal Highness the eldest princess was embarrassed, and was stunned to see that the crossbow arrow, which was impossible to get close to within five meters of herself from the direction of flight, suddenly drew a beautiful crescent-shaped arc, and the arrow chased after the girl's ass.
"I'm not a casual attack, unless I run out of energy, it will chase you until it hits the target, if you can dodge, hide for me?" Stephanie said as she raised her left hand and covered her mouth with a strange expression, "Besides, I don't know if you like?"
"No road race! Even if you don't speak, no one will treat you as an innocent girl!"
Flapping his wings and hovering in mid-air, hesitating whether to go to war or not, Nakiris, who couldn't help but ask Charlotte on his back in confusion, "Now, what are the two of them talking about?"
The knight-sama with black lines unconsciously tugged at the corners of his mouth and laughed: "Ahahaha, children don't need to know this. ”
Throwing off the festival but not being able to lighten the weight on his body in a real sense, Octavier's speed did not increase because of this, and after twisting a few S's in the air, he was finally caught up by the crossbow arrow from behind. Of course, the eldest princess didn't intend to meet the crossbow arrow with her butt at all, and after making sure that she couldn't get rid of the other party, she quickly turned around, raised her three-pointed spear and stabbed it fiercely at the crossbow arrow.
If you can't dodge, then let's beat it.
To be reasonable, the eldest princess thought that the remaining strength of the crossbow arrow as a long-range attack after flying such a long distance should not be very large, but who Cheng thought that the Phantom Phoenix in her hand immediately shook violently after hitting the crossbow arrow, making the girl's hands and even her two arms numb for a while, so that she threw the weapon out.
As Stephanie said, wind magic does give Octavir the ability to fly, its speed, and its dizzying agility, and the weapon's lethality is not to be underestimated, but it doesn't have any bonuses in terms of strength.
There's nothing wrong with being fast and not breaking it, but that's also relative. How do you achieve victory when you encounter an enemy whose skin is so thick that you can't penetrate it at all, or who is as fast as you are, but whose strength is a cut higher?
The eldest princess had never thought about anything like this before, she just had to make sure that she was faster than the others, but after meeting the girl named Stephanie today, the girl realized that sometimes speed alone could not decide everything.
No matter how fast you are, you will have to be confused when you encounter a guided weapon - this sentence does not count, in short, before Octavil, who was shocked and bloody, had not had time to reorganize her breathing, a black vortex tunnel suddenly appeared in front of her, and a black shadow came out of it like lightning, so fast that the surrounding air let out a mournful sound when it was torn.
What the hell!?Octavir was shocked when she saw this, desperately trying to turn around and avoid it while holding up her shield, whatever it was, and avoid contact first.
However, the hastily propped up shield burst like a soap bubble, although the eldest princess avoided the vital parts, but the right side of the waist was still rubbed, the exquisite dress naturally did not play the slightest protective role, splashing blood and broken strips of cloth, combined with the girl herself, unexpectedly made people feel a strange beauty.
A blood-red wound was torn open from the side waist to the lower abdomen, and the clothes nearby were also tattered, revealing the girl's white skin and metal skeleton skirt. Even so, Octavir didn't care at all, and turned around and swung the Phantom Phoenix down with force, slashing the black shadow that swept by at high speed in two on the spot with the sharp blades on both sides of the spear's tip.
It's another crossbow arrow, which is not surprising, what really makes the eldest princess incomprehensible is its strange way of appearing, which is really unguardable.
"Your Highness, are you alright?" Charlotte hurriedly took Nakiris to the girl's vicinity after seeing Octavir hanging the lottery, drew his sword and protected her in front of her and said eagerly, "The strength of the other party is a bit beyond imagination, and it seems that it should be impossible to break through safely and soundly." In that case, let me stay and buy you time!"
While the eldest princess was still breathing, Stephanie took the opportunity to slowly fiddle with the crossbow in her hand without looking at the two of them and said, "Charlot, my loyalty really touches me to the point of disgust. But it's useless, none of you want to leave today. After disposing of the eldest princess and Nangong Rong, it doesn't matter if there are still some uninfected demonic beasts left in the empire, it is impossible for humans to resist the attack of the abyss. Octavier, thank you very much for setting up such a stage for me to have the opportunity to kill the two of you who pose the greatest threat to the abyss at the same time, if you can calm down and talk about cooperation with Nangong Rong, I probably won't be so easy even if I have made a lot of preliminary preparations. But for now, all I can say is thank you for your cooperation with the Abyss, and- goodbye!"
Before the words fell, countless fist-sized black vortices appeared densely behind Stephanie, and the black-haired girl herself leaned slightly sideways and elegantly raised the crossbow to aim at Octavier, pulling the trigger to launch the crossbow arrows, and at the same time, countless similar crossbow arrows roared out of the vortex, overwhelmingly enveloping the eldest princess and her guard knights.
Well, the presence is too low to ignore.
It was only then that the eldest princess finally figured out what Stephanie's skills were, which were simply spatial spells that only existed in the legendary Razfield plane. This kind of magic only exists in theory, and the empire and the alliance have not been studied for the time being, and now the boss in front of him is used as a regular skill.
No wonder Stephanie would swagger and blatantly stand up after dealing with Nangong Rong, daring was not because she was ready to transform the already infected demonic beasts around her at any time, but because she did have a strong strength that could defy everyone. Octavill suddenly smiled bitterly and shook her head secretly, she had always flaunted the supremacy of strength to Nangong Rong before, thinking that whatever the strong did to the weak, the winner to the loser was a matter of course, but she never considered what the young man and his compatriots would have and what they would think.
It wasn't until the eldest princess met a stronger opponent that she finally thought of these, it was indeed a very uncomfortable feeling, as long as there was still a little bit of blood in the body, people would not be willing to accept it obediently and choose to resist.
But resistance also depends on the opponent, like the powerful and almost brutal existence in front of him, how to fight her, all efforts are in vain, right? Although Octavir still holds the Phantom Phoenix in his hand, his fighting spirit has been reduced to the lowest, and his whole body has been relieved of his strength, as if a gust of wind can blow it down.
Charlotte, of course, quickly sensed the girl's abnormality, and hurriedly took the latter into his arms and made Nakiriss run wildly in the air to avoid the many crossbow arrows that were in hot pursuit, and at the same time shouted: "Your Highness the eldest princess, please cheer up!"
Octavir didn't struggle, let the knight put his arm around him and said unhurriedly, "Cheer up, can we defeat such an opponent?"
"So you're not going to do anything, the strength of this camp organized by Nangong Rong and his own strength can't be compared to the empire at all, but he still didn't hesitate to take action. And you, because you have enjoyed the rights and treatment of being a superior for a long time, and you have unparalleled and terrible military power in your hands, have you degenerated to the point that you don't even have the courage to face the strong!?"
Accompanied by the deafening words, a small girl with many strange mechanical components on her body swept through the air at high speed, and in the face of countless crossbow arrows that rained down, she opened two hive-like devices behind her back, and then shot an equally large number of small objects with flames and white smoke from their tails, and met them head-on impartially.
The entire sky was covered in bright red flames in an instant, and the atmosphere trembled with successive explosions, and in the background of this magnificent fire cloud, the petite but heroic figure of the little girl with black hair and a single ponytail actually gave people the illusion of a Valkyrie.
"Ah, that's a bit of a surprise. Stephanie looked at the crossbow arrows that disappeared in the explosion and couldn't help but show a painful expression on her face, "To be reasonable, this world should have nothing to do with you, the eldest princess over there indirectly killed Nangong Rong, why did she choose to come over to help her?"
"Because the cheap brother has been planning to cooperate with her from the beginning, what can I do? However, it's just a cooperation, and I will never admit that she is my brother's partner!"
