Chapter 5: The Battle for the Slums (2)

- Ahh

It was Elsa who was fighting for her life.

Picking up the Coolley scimitar again, Elsa walked towards me with the sound of high-pitched footsteps.

Sure enough, the elf who can endanger his life disappears, and the target turns to me, who can also threaten him.

As she walked towards me, icicles appeared around me, which looked more like they were protecting me than the ones Parker had fired. Ice magic is used here, and if Parker is out, then it's Emilia.

"Amilia, don't worry about me, you protect yourself and the Pleiades first."

[However, even against Elsa, whose power is weakened, the chance of winning is only fifty percent. Even so, I wasn't going to wait. Even if we can't beat her, as long as we create a chance, then the odds of us escaping are very high. Using her as an opponent also allows me to study the art of spearfighting, and facing danger is also the best way to unlock the genetic lock. 】

"The unknown weapon you used to attack me just now is quite interesting, if it weren't for the cloak, I would have been seriously injured before I was hit by the magic of the elf behind me," the woman walked to a distance of only a few meters from me, licked her lips, and said slowly.

[Cloak, I see.] Is this the protection of magic items... The cloak was broken just now, so now .....]

Her words confirmed one of my suspicions, that the distance was just right for me, and with a flick of her sleeves, Gauss's pistol was aimed at her temple, and the bullet was fired quickly. I noticed that she was a little unsteady when she walked, which may be the cause of the previous injury, and now I don't give her a chance to react and shoot directly, and if you lose your protective props and are injured, will you not be able to dodge the Gauss bullet, which makes me very interested to see.

To my surprise, she didn't choose to avoid it, and blocked it with her knife as before. It wasn't easy for her to block these Gauss bullets, and she staggered back a few times, and there were small cracks in the blade, although they were small, I could see them clearly. Because I fired a few shots in front of me, it was not easy to block the bursts of Gauss bullets with a knife alone, after all, in a real-world experiment, a Gauss pistol was enough to pierce several layers of steel plates.

As if I knew that I couldn't stop like this anymore, the woman's figure began to blur in front of my eyes, and I quickly aimed at the figure that had not disappeared and pulled the trigger, and a few shots passed, but the bullet passed through. I remembered her previous movements, and my brain was racing to calculate where she might be.

"Be careful." Two voices sounded at the same time, sensing the murderous aura coming from behind me, I jumped up without hesitation, didn't think much about turning around, and fired a few shots directly at the figure's head. The bullet passed through the figure again, and when it was about to hit the ground, I saw a shadow behind me, and I didn't even think about turning back and holding the long knife directly with my two guns.

"You're so difficult, just let me kill you."

"I'm not going to kill you, and capturing you alive might still give you a lot of information."

"Hehehe, if you want to capture me alive, it depends on whether you have that ability."

We fought back and forth for a few rounds, but she didn't hurt me much. Over time, I felt that her speed seemed to slow down in my eyes, and my calculation power was also improved compared to just now, and every time she was about to disappear, I could barely see her clearly, and every time I shot it, it was half a beat slower and I never caused her fatal injuries, it felt like my body movements couldn't keep up with my brain's speed! Now, as my movements become more and more fluid, she looks embarrassed. Although she can still block the bullets, her movements are starting to become jerky, and she will be the one who loses in this way.

"Damn, you still can't defeat me like this, you will definitely be the one who dies." Knowing the situation in front of her, the woman began to roar unwillingly, and her face was slightly distorted.

[Is this the gene lock?] Being pressed and beaten by me now, you must be very unwilling, what other means are there, let me see! The gun fighting technique is starting to take shape, the genetic locks have been unlocked, and if you don't have any other means, then I can capture you alive right now! 】

As the woman spoke, her figure blurred again, and her movements in my eyes became faster than before, but still within my sight, and I could continue to fight like this. But what I didn't expect was that this time, the woman's movements became faster and faster, reaching a point that I couldn't observe. [The lion is wounded, but the more fierce it becomes... No, she didn't move faster, it was mine that slowed down. It's the regurgitation of the gene lock.... At the present intensity ... The body can still bear ... Three minutes! Well, it's a quick fix! 】

In the eyes of others, the outcome of our battle is ready to appear, and my defeat will lead to the death of all here. Seeing that the condition was unfavorable, Roma, who had been treated by Emilia and had simply treated his wounds, clenched his stick and waited solemnly.

"I don't know what the odds are, but since watching silently is just a missed opportunity...... You know that, Firut. ”

"Got it, I've been injured before and I'm almost healed now. Now I won't run away, it's time to take revenge. ”

Firut, who had been on the sidelines for treatment from his injuries, spoke.

She stood beside Roma and looked at the Pleiades.

"The ...... Kind of saved. ”

"-Huh?"

"It's just a little bit. That is, I'm not allowed to say that I'm a child, I'm fifteen years old, and I'm about the same as you, little brother. ”

“…… I'm eighteen years old, I can drive and get married. ”

"I can't see it! It's too baby-faced, you, portray life on your face a little. ”

-- Under the slogan of ordinary life, he has been living leisurely in Japan, where there is good public security.

was ridiculed for not being enlightened, and hung his head in a pityod.

The weakest person on the scene is himself, and what he lacks is not only combat effectiveness.

"My feet are shaking so much that I won't move...... This is called lack of enlightenment. ”

Before whether or not to participate, the Pleiades simply can't get involved with this battle.

Lord Rom has wrist strength, Firut has foot strength, the injuries they suffered before will no longer hinder the battle, Chu Xuan's pistol can also pose a threat to Elsa, if Emilia can cooperate with Chu Xuan to fight, then it will not be difficult to win! But Chu Xuan's current situation is not quite right, if she wants to win.......

"It's starting to lose ground."

Assistance is necessary to change the situation.

"Hello ——!"

Just as he thought, Roma Ye yelled and joined the battle.

The raised stick swung down vigorously, and Elsa crouched down to dodge, the stick touching the hair on the back of her head.

"Alas, it's so boring to join in the dance."

"If you want to jump like this, I'll let you jump enough! Come on, jump harder! ”

The barbed club pushes forward, and the attack range changes from line to point. The strange attack immediately rushed towards Elsa's throat - only to make Romma's throat stiff.

"W-How can this ——!!?"

"That's why I'm doing it because you're strong."

Elsa stood delicately at the front of the stick.

A feat that can only be accomplished with a surreal sense of balance. Before the delicate balance could crumble, Elsa's knife swung to the side.

The position height is in the forehead of Roma. If you hit it directly, your head will be cut off.

"Don't want to be satisfied!"

Boom! The thrown knife hits the sideways.

The impact from directly below slightly disrupted the movement of Elsa's blade, and the blade struck the giant body in the head at high speed. There was a thud of steel hitting the bone, and Rommye's body fell as if it were bouncing.

"Bad boy."

As soon as the woman's voice fell, several needle-shaped bullets and several pieces of ice were fired at her one after another, and she was easily dodged. [Missing a combat power, now my situation is not very good, the backlash of the gene lock is getting more and more serious, and the time is ready, Emilia can't help much, then only....] After easily solving one person, the woman's knife slashed at Firut, who was the farthest away from us, and the soft persimmon was easier to pinch than the difficult us.

The distance between us and Firut is very far, so at this time, the only one who can protect Firut is the Pleiades who are cowering next to him, and at this time, for some reason, the Pleiades suddenly have the courage to fly towards Firut's waist and roll on the ground with his small body, avoiding the fatal blow.

Elsa stared at Pleiades in surprise, standing up on one knee and turning her head. As if to get a point from Elsa, Pleiades boasted of victory with a spasmodic smile.

"Are you alright!? I'm desperate, so don't pursue anything weird!? ”

"If you didn't speak, I would have thanked you honestly. Say, why save me? ”

"I don't know! The body moves on its own! Even if you talk about it, you don't know, anyway, I owe you back! Remember me! ”

Let go of Firut and clench his fists.

In the second world, Firut saved the Pleiades from Elsa's murderous blade. Although that Ji Yi is meaningless in this world, he still repays this kindness.

- The kindness received will not disappear, and so will the things that should be done.

"You've listened to me, Firut. From now on, I'll use the attitude of dying to buy time like Lord Rom, and I'll make a gap in whatever I say, so you can seize the opportunity and run away with all your might, okay?. ”

“——！ Oh no! Are you asking me to run away with my tail between my legs!? ”

The red duo looked up, leaning closer to accept the vicious glare.

And he didn't miss the momentary timid expression of Firut under the spirit of the Pleiades.

"That's right, it's running away with your tail between your legs. Actually, if I could, I wanted to take on this role, because I didn't want to be in this violent space for a second. ”

She stroked the blonde hair of the girl in front of her vigorously and took a deep breath.

"But you're fifteen and I'm eighteen, and you're eighty percent of the youngest of us. In this case, of course, it is normal to choose you with the highest chance of survival. ”

"W-What...... No kidding, you're still shivering! ”

"Just now, now now! I'm just not shaking now! In short, I'll do it before I recall that I can't move in fear. So, you have to run away quickly. ”

Holding Firut's forehead, who was still trying to refute, quieted her down, and she stood up as she stretched. Falling at his feet was the stick that Roma let go, and although it was heavy, it was not so bad that it could not be wielded.

In the front is Elsa dancing in Emilia's barrage of ice, her movements unhindered. Ang, who had no actual combat experience, didn't know if that superman had shown flaws. All that can be done is to make sure that Elsa's consciousness has left the two of them, and carry out a surprise attack without a sound.

An extraordinarily large icicle was chopped off, and several needle-shaped bullets that followed were also dodged. At the moment when the Pleiades completely entered the blind spot of Elsa's vision, the Pleiades, who had forgotten to breathe, rushed over and swung the stick downward.

Unleashing the strange power of the spirit of the fire, the speed of the stick is beyond imagination, and the wind cuts straight towards the back of Elsa's head-

"—The timing of the sniper was perfect. But it's a pity that there is too much murderous aura leaking out of the way to draw attention to you. ”

"Murderous! Who knows how to hide! ”

For blows from the rear, Elsa strikes the stick with her blade, deflecting the track and dodging. At that moment, the Pleiades bared his teeth and shouted.

"It's now! Rush, Firut——!! ”

“——！！」

Like a rebound, Firut's diminutive frame rode the wind.

Crossing the room at a speed that the naked eye can't catch, the girl who turns into the wind rushes to the exit.

"Do you think I'm going to let you go?"

What stopped Firut from galloping was the knife that Elsa pulled out of her bosom and threw it. The tip of the knife was broken by a shot from me before it could touch Firut, and I don't know where it flew.

[It's best for Firut to leave, so that there is one less person who needs protection, and it's almost the same......]

"You're doing bad things for me again, and it's not over with you." After Firut fled, the woman cursed angrily. We succeeded in attracting her attention, she was too eager to attack Pleiades and Firut just now, and now she only paid attention to our attacks, and did not look at the surrounding situation, so naturally she did not pay attention to the danger around her.
