"Good place? What tricks do you want to play? ”

Although the bullet didn't seem to work, Akeya's gun didn't let go, but still pointed at the demon's forehead, his eyes not letting go of the man's every move, and the demon covered his mouth and laughed.

"Look at what you said, don't be nervous, I just want to find a battlefield that suits us, come with me."

At this moment, the soldiers chasing Akya and Leon also surrounded them. The demon told everyone not to make a move, just to guard the staircase leading to the underground, and he led the two guests to the underground and went straight to the operation room.

Looking at the demon's defenseless back, Akeya was going to shoot. But the unreasonable scene just now, as well as the demon's posture of not being afraid of any sneak attack, made him stop the idea of shooting.

Is this man a superhuman? What kind of magic is there?

"That's it, good place."

Thinking about it, Akya and Leon had already walked into the operation room. What caught the eyes of the two of them was the floor-to-ceiling protective glass, behind which was the operating table, and there were five people busy working next to them, one watching. Behind that, there's what Leon is looking for......

"Celea!"

Leon rushed over and raised his dagger against the glass. The demon watched with a smile as he watched as the waving dagger collided with the glass, and Leon's hand was numb, leaving only a small scratch on the glass.

"Haha, you've got to push harder, it's pretty sturdy. With the two of you armed, maybe...... Can you make a crack like a wrinkle? ”

"Damn!"

Leon tried a few more times, but it still didn't work. He soaked the dagger in shadow poison and stabbed it with all his strength, but the glass still didn't move. It seems that this glass is not only a physical attack, but also an EXP attack.

Inside, Thelofta slowly turned her head, smirked at Leon and Akeya, and pointed at Selia. Leon couldn't hear the sound inside, but looking at Selia's constant struggle, he could guess how she felt.

"What are you going to do?"

"Just look at it, right?" The demon knocked on the glass and said, "This is what I have brought you for." Now, the girl's brain was overloaded due to the overuse of the power element. If it goes on like this, maybe...... Oh no, I'm going to die. ”

He put his gloves tight, clenched them twice, and stood sideways, his left hand raised in a palm, and his right hand clenched into a fist to his shoulder, at the same level as his left palm.

"So, you'd better hurry up and figure it out, or you'll ......"

"Bastard!"

Unable to hear the evil ghost's nonsense, Leon was already in a hurry and rushed to stab the dagger, which was blocked by the evil ghost with the palm of his hand. This time it was as if it had just been stabbed on the glass, and it didn't move.

Leon changed to another dagger and went up again, and the two daggers attacked alternately, and the demon took turns with his palms, arms, shoulders, chest, and various parts of his body, and his clothes were cut out of a bunch of wounds, but there were no wounds left on his body. He shook his body while fighting, and let out a weird gasp of enjoyment.

"Well, oh, yes, it's a full body massage."

Leon was a little confused about whether he was stabbing people or walls. When the dagger stabbed into the demon, the force used was exhausted in an instant, and it could not hurt at all.

"You, what's this trick?"

"It's not a trick, it's technology, technology, hehe."

"Laugh at the fart!"

Leon, who was completely enraged by the demons, didn't care about this, and launched a fierce attack like crazy. Akeya in the back calmly watched the battle between the two and did not make a move.

This demon doesn't just rely on the unknown way of defense. His movements are coherent and fluid, always creating opportunities after dodging or parrying. If he had the heart to fight back, Leon would have been knocked down several times. Akeya concluded that the demon had a considerable physical foundation, and that this was not an enemy that he and Leon could win.

Fortunately, they don't have to fight hard.

"Calm down, Leon, there's no need to dwell!"

"Yes."

The demon said, grabbing Leon's wrists with both hands at the same time, half-turning, throwing him out with an over-the-shoulder fall, and then quickly turning around, his back against the glass.

"Or is it your companion who has a heart, and people are trying to figure out how to break the glass. It's just ......"

He grinned, his eyes widened, and his playful tone suddenly became agitated.

"It's all in vain! Whether it's beating me or breaking glass, it's all in vain! ”

"Damn, Celia! Celia! ”

"Don't shout, this glass is completely soundproof!"

"Shut up!"

Leon sent out six black shadows in one breath and surrounded the demons. The shadows swarmed up, but the demons did not move, allowing them to pounce on them.

These shadows are all aggregates of Shadow Poison, pure EXP attacks. But even so, it can't break through the demon's defenses. Seeing the black shadow pressing against the demon's skin, it couldn't squeeze into the body. The demon remained unscathed, but shook all the black shadows to pieces.

The Shadow Poison didn't work, and Leon simply broke the jar and threw himself desperately. Taking advantage of Leon's efforts to entangle the demon, Akeya hurriedly raised his pistol, aimed firmly at a certain position in the glass, and fired seven shots in one go.

All the bullets hit there, and under such concentrated attacks, the glass finally cracked a little. But it's not enough to make a gap.

"Don't dream!"

The demon who was fighting with Leon was busy and had one hand free. The glove of that hand emitted a black glow and a disgusting aura, and the palm condensed into a black, heavy-looking orb. The demon casually threw the black ball at Akya, who ducked down to dodge. The black ball hit the wall, suddenly became several times larger, and then contracted sharply and exploded.

Looking at the wall hit by the black ball, it left a semicircular gap, as if it had been "bitten" by the black ball. Akya broke out in a cold sweat when he saw it, if he was hit, I was afraid that he wouldn't even be able to stop NS.

"What's that?"

"It doesn't matter what it is."

The demon who dodged Leon's dagger knocked Leon away with a blow from the shoulder, then took a step, and his fists quickly alternated, hitting Leon in the stomach with a solid slam, knocking him to the ground.

"The important thing is that if you are hit, you will die. As for the name, you can call it 'Demon Pill'. That's a good name, right? I thought about it for three days and three nights. ”

"What...... What the hell...... Ahem......"

Leon coughed and got up, and that's when he saw the last thing he wanted.

"It's done, Mr. Fern!"

The white cat shouted loudly, and the other operators laughed with relief, hugging each other in celebration. Thralfta smiled even more happily, and the isolation box on the workbench opened, and the box was carefully taken out by Thelofta and held in her arms.

"Everyone, white cat, send a signal."

"Yes!"

The white cat made a quick press on the console, and then followed the four operators of the Thralofta out of the door to the tunnel in the operator's room.

Celia was thrown down, still lying on the bed, her limbs still trapped, her head ring not removed, and her pained expression was not relieved in the slightest.

Suddenly, a rhythmic "beep" sounded in the laboratory. The demon looked at the people who were leaving, smiled, and said, "Do you know what this signal is? This is to tell everyone to hold out for another five minutes and then retreat. In other words, you'll be able to go in five minutes, but ......"

He turned to look at Celia again.

"I wonder if the girl can last five minutes? After all, she is a quasi-superpower, and if she suddenly comes like this, if she doesn't save her, I'm afraid she will die. But it doesn't matter, because ......"

The demon grinned lewdly, his tongue stretched out to lick his nose, and he was panting with excitement, as if his whole body was full of hormones.

"I like corpses too! That cutie is useless, whether she's dead or alive, I'm going to have to enjoy it! Yah ”

"You give it to me...... Shut up! ”

Tiredness is taking over Leon's body, and it's physically and mentally exhausted. He clenched his dagger and maintained a fighting stance, but did not attack immediately as he had just done.

Fight head-on, but you can't defeat the evil spirits. Save Selia, and you can't break the glass.

All he could do was look through the glass at his sister, who was still suffering.

“…… Celia ...... Damn it! ”

"That's right! That's the look I want to see! ”

The more the demon spoke, the more excited he became, and his hideous face smiled contentedly and fiercely.

"That's why I brought you here because I wanted to see your expressions! I can't do it, and I don't want to give up, but in the end, I still can't do it! Suffering! Lose! Unwilling! Show me more expressions like this! Hahahaha-"

"Uhhh

A desperate Leon roared, and was about to rush forward to make one last futile effort, when Akeya grabbed him.

"Calm down! There's still time, don't worry! ”

"You let me go!"

"Listen, we still have a way!"

As soon as he heard the word "method", the evil ghost laughed even harder.

"It's so calm, I can still come up with ideas at this time, it's not easy! Well, let me guess how? ”

As he spoke, the demon walked over to the crack in the glass and stroked it gently, as if he were caressing a woman's body.

"Pretend to be in a mess with me, and then let my Onimaru break the glass for you while I'm not looking, right?"

As he uttered the last word, Arkya's brow twitched. The demon saw it clearly, laughed, and jumped up.

"Ahh You guessed it! It's a pity. You're right, the Demon Pill can indeed shatter this piece of glass. But—yes! Your attacks won't work against me, I'll just have my back to the glass and play with you. In this situation, you want to trick me into breaking the glass? Let's go dreaming! ”

He's right, Leon thought, looking at Arkya worriedly. Akya swallowed, adjusted her breathing, and retracted the gun to her waist and replaced it with the Cutter.

Here's your chance.

The demon only guessed half right, and Akeya really wanted to trick the demon pill out. But what happened next, the evil ghost couldn't have imagined at all.

Even Akya couldn't believe that he would have such an idea, let alone whether he could succeed. As the demon said, both his and Leon's attacks were ineffective. If the opponent fights steadily, does not use moves such as demon pills, and blindly consumes time, then it is over.

But Akeya was convinced that the demons' current exuberance and arrogance would make him let his guard down and get carried away. Even one chance would be enough to reverse the situation.

Next, it's up to your imagination.

"Leave him alone, Leon, keep going!"

"But ......"

"Trust me!"

Leon didn't know the basis for Arca's words, but he believed in Akeya's qualities as a "nameless", which he had heard countless times from Karp and Jed.

"Then let's get on!"

The two re-energized, one on the left and one on the right, each holding a blade to besiege the evil spirit. The evil ghost can hide if he wants to, and if he doesn't want to hide, he will resist with his body and fight carelessly.

Akya and Leon were neither in a hurry nor angry, and continued to maintain the rhythm of their attacks. After a while, the demon finally got a little impatient.

"I mean, you're almost there, right? Aren't you tired? ”

"Let Celia go, let's go our separate ways!" Leon said.

"You're thinking too much, aren't you? The girl is mine! ”

"Don't think!"

"I can't stand it! Alright, I will fulfill you, go and die! ”

The demon blocked one person with one hand, pushing them away with all his might, and then the palms of both hands faced each other, and the black ball gradually formed between the two hands.

This is the moment that Akya was waiting for.

According to Jed, NS's active EXP, through NS's contact with the user, can be controlled by the user to a certain extent, just like a superhuman controls his EXP. It's just that it's difficult for natural people, after all, they don't have the experience to control EXP like superhumans.

This control is not so much a method as a feeling.

The black ball grew larger and larger, and the demon's hands had already shrunk back, ready to be launched. Akya didn't intend to dodge, but stood facing the demon, raising her bent right arm and pointing her forearm at the demon as if there was a shield there.

Yes, there are shields here, imagine that there are shields here. On the way to the Lantobia hills, Dimmit taught the use of solar crystals that the best way for natural people to control the crystals of the sun is to imagine, strongly imagine. It's also an EXP product, and it feels like it will work with NS!

Imagine yourself with a shield, imagine yourself as a ...... Dimitri!

"Hah! Thought this would keep the demon pill at bay? Give it a try! ”

"I'm Dimmit, I can unfold the shield! I can do it! ”

With the roars of each of them, the demon pill came out of his hand and killed Akya. But at the same moment, Akeya used the acceleration of NS to rush against the evil spirit. Just as the two sides were about to collide, NS's EXP suddenly gathered on Akya's right arm, forming a light shield that was only half a meter square.

But it's hard enough to withstand the Demon Pill!

"Oh oh ——!!"

"What!?"

The demon never expected that Akeya would dare to rush over, so that the demon pill who didn't fly far would involve himself too. The survival instinct prompted him to dodge, and Akeya took another step against the demon pill, and the whole person crashed into the protective glass. The demon pill expanded, contracted, and exploded, blasting the glass through a big hole!

Akya, who was caught up in the explosion, was also shaken to the side, even though he had a light shield body, and he shook his head and got up again.

"Go, Leon!"

"I know!"

Seizing the opportunity, Leon rushed into the hole in the glass, and the demon hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, and Akeya rushed over to knock the demon down, holding him tightly.

"Let it go!"

"Since the attack doesn't work against you, I don't attack, it's always okay to trap you, right?"

"Damn, get out of here!"

The two rolled and scuffled on the ground, and Leon took the opportunity to dash through the glass, through the counter, and run to Celia's side. The dagger broke Celia's restraints, and Leon took off her headband, and the unrestrained Celia stopped twitching, but she was still sweating profusely and breathing rapidly.

"Celia! Wake up! ”

*****

That scene was back, and Celia didn't know how many times she had experienced the same scene, but she guessed it was probably the last.

“…… Ya ......"

There was a faint voice, she couldn't hear the direction, she didn't want to listen, she just wanted to look at the boy and watch him walk away.

“…… Leah ......"

Unexpectedly, the boy walked halfway and suddenly turned back, which he had not done before. Celia suddenly felt very excited, and her heart was overjoyed, and she stretched out her hand with all her might.

"Celia!"

This time she heard clearly, it turned out that the voice was from the boy. And that's not a boy, it's ...... The way the boy grew up.

Celia finally opened her eyes and woke up from an infinite loop of dreams. Then I saw that the boy who grew up was right next to him.

"Brother...... Brother ......"

She reached out as if in a dream, and touched Leon's mask. Leon hesitated, took off his mask, and clasped the hand.

"Celia ......"

"You...... It's ......"

"Uhh

The one who disturbed the reunion of the brother and sister was the evil ghost who broke free, and Akya, who fell over. He stood up and took a stance.

"You two...... Bad old man's business, don't want to get out alive today! ”

The demon whose plan was completely disrupted lost his initial pretense and became angry, his face flushed, his eyes bloodshot, and his muscles tensed. He only used about 30% of his strength in the battle just now, and now he is preparing to go all out.

"Leon, how are you?"

Akeya didn't dare to look back, even if he didn't take care of the evil ghost at this moment, it would become a flaw. Leon didn't speak, just stared at Cereya.

The younger sister must have sensed that even if they hadn't met, a brother and sister with the same power, coupled with the effect of super awakening, would make Celia aware of her identity.

Just as he was in a daze, a series of noises and screams came from behind the demon, which shocked everyone's hearts.

After a while, Dimmit, who had killed all the soldiers guarding the staircase, walked slowly into the control room.

"Oh, it's all here."

Seeing Dimmit, Leon didn't say a word, turned and ran, escaping through the same door from which Thralofta had fled. Akya had to catch up, but he couldn't throw Celia behind, and he shouted at Dimmit.

"The box hasn't been opened yet! I'll leave it to you, I'll go after Leon! ”

Dimmit was about to ask a question, but Akya had already run away.

"It's really urgent, forget it."

Since Akya said that the box was not opened, it means that the girl inside is still useful, and you have to be careful not to hurt her.

"Leave me such a mess, tell me where the box is."

He grumbled, and his gaze naturally turned to the demon.

"Then I can only ask you. You should be the executioner, right? Where's the box? ”

The evil ghost was already angry, and when Dimmit asked him like this, the fire became even greater.

"It's really unlucky, those super talents lasted for a few minutes, and then they all ran away?"

"Run?"

Dimmit smiled sinister and touched the blindfold he had already put on.

"You're mistaken, they're all corpses."

"! In such a short period of time, you killed all 12 people? ”

"If you don't believe me, you can go up and have a look later—if you're still alive."

"Fuck you, I'm annoyed! Besides, you don't have to ask who Lao Tzu is, just fart here! ”

"I'm not interested in asking the name of a dying person. Hurry up and tell me where the box is, I can give you a good time. ”

"It's quite slippery, so let's try it!"

However, as soon as the demon shouted the slogan of declaration of war, Dimmit's bullet hit him in the chest, and the explosion caused him to take a few steps back. This is much more ruthless than Leon and Akeya's blades, but it has no noticeable effect. Dimmit saw it and was amazed.

"Wow, that's interesting."

"yes, you're a funny guy, too!"

As he spoke, the demon raised his hands and created a life-size demon pill and threw it at Dimmit. Dimmit raised his glowing right hand and caught it steadily. Without waiting for the Demon Pill to explode, the light in his hand quickly enveloped the Demon Pill, shrinking and shrinking, and finally disappearing.

In this one round, Dimmit saw the devil's tricks.

"You're not a superhuman, but you have a very uniform EXP response throughout your body, and it seems that you have a system similar to EXP protection. Judging from the EXP flow just now, you can absorb the energy of the attack while resisting the attack, and then supply it to the glove for counterattack, which is probably like this. ”

"Ha, it's worthy of being a cursed superman, and it's not far from ten! So you get the idea, right? Any attack doesn't work against me, and the more you attack, the stronger my counterattack becomes! That's the infinite energy cycle! ”

"Oh, it's invalid."

Dimmit smiled contemptuously and backhanded a larger ball of light, which he threw at the demon again. The blow exploded even more violently, knocking the demon into the glass before stopping, but still didn't cause significant damage.

But Dimmit's reaction made the evil ghost never expect it.

"Can't you bastard understand human speech?"

"Originally, I thought you still had two more shots, and it seemed that you would only scare people. Energy is conserved, and there is no such thing as a perpetual motion system in the world. On the surface, you are withstanding my attacks, but in order to maintain your so-called energy circulation, you must be using up your own physical strength! ”

After saying that, Dimmit threw out three sparkling sun crystals, floating in the air like satellites, surrounding him.

"In other words, as long as I keep attacking, you will not be able to hold it sooner or later!"

These words made the evil ghost's confidence half vented, and he secretly scolded Dimmit in his heart, this person is different from the two just now, and it is not something that can be frightened by a few words. But we must not show weakness now, otherwise, the one who cannot get out alive is himself.

"Less! Come and hit me! ”

"No problem. How long will you be able to last? I'm really curious. ”

*****

At the end of the tunnel is a hole, and Leon crawls out to find himself in the western part of the woods. In the afternoon, the sun was intense, and the surroundings became hot and humid.

He took a few breaths and wanted to stand and rest for a while, but behind him, the man caught up.

"Leon, you stop me!"

Leon ran with a step. Akya, who climbed out of the hole, saw it clearly and chased after her. The two went after each other in the woods.

Akeya found that Leon was not as fast as before, perhaps because he was tired, or maybe he was equipped with NS himself. Gradually, he distanced himself from Leon, then drew his pistol and began to try to aim.

But unexpectedly, as soon as he ran out of the woods, Leon suddenly stopped, and Akeya hurriedly stood still.

"Aren't you running?"

"yes, don't run away."

Leon turned, his back to the sun, the shadow on his face making his expression look extremely resolute.

"We're here, let's make a break, Akya Trosyumi!"
