1397 Sheep's head

The last step of the sacrificial ritual has been completed, the believer who committed suicide with a dagger slowly falls, his body and the priest's body are stacked into a cross, and the priest's body, which has been drained of blood and shriveled up, is once again filled, as if the blood in the believer's corpse is focused on the priest's corpse, and not only that, but all the blood circulating in the circuit begins to gather around the cross of this corpse.

Even if it enters the state of rapid sweeping, it cannot stop the operation of this scene in terms of time and speed. The gray fog swirled, and then the church seemed to spin, and a huge sense of weightlessness enveloped me, causing me to lose my balance for a moment. As I stood firm, above the cross between the two corpses, a blood-colored liquid sphere was glowing ominously.

I raised my shield, and the operation of the fourth-level magic pattern collided with the hunter seal again, but in the face of such a situation, even the greatest pain must be endured. If there is no fourth-level magic pattern to absorb the aftermath of the data hedge, and then transform it into its own strength, it may be inferior in the next battle. This time, the demons that the Doomsday Shinrikyo will summon are very different from the demons they will face when they interrupt their plans.

The biggest difference is the targeted target that summons demons.

In the usual actions of the Doomsday Shinrikyo Cult, it is rare for a demon to be summoned against certain people, and now I have encountered such a situation. I will definitely not despise the enemy that arises under such targeting.

The shield is still being strengthened, and it is also different from the last time he faced the "child of fate" Novsky in District 51. At that time, KY3001 was created using the fourth-level magic pattern, which imitated the form of the winged knight, and comprehensively strengthened its basic qualities. At this moment, he had an intuition that told him that in the face of the demons that were about to appear, the effect of that comprehensive enhancement would seem weak. A more correct approach would be to use all the resources and make a shield as strong as possible individually.

The shield I hold in my hand, with its cumulative reinforcement, is transforming the texture of its material in a way that I cannot comprehend. In this nightmare. All matter can be understood as immaterial, but although the material of the structure is mostly embodied in the form of matter, it itself is not a substance in the ordinary sense. This is because the basic component of the structure is still gray fog, and the nature of gray fog is between material and spiritual at the same time, and it can be done under certain conditions. Convert between the two. This controllable thing, which crosses the boundary between the material and the spiritual, is the basis of the technology of the Ruling Bureau, and has always been regarded as the easiest to generate and guide the "mysterious" existence.

In most mysterious events, the gray fog appears, and the intensity and movement of the gray fog is for a long time. They are all defaulted to being a reference for judging how strong the "mystery" is and how dangerous the "mysterious" is.

A shield shaped with a fourth-level magic pattern. Continuously absorbs gray mist and transforms into a construct material. Whether it is a blow to the material state or an immaterial impact, it has a stronger withstand capacity than the armor of the imitation Winged Knight.

In addition to the shield, the outfit on his body and the long knife in his right hand were also accelerated by the fourth-level magic pattern. And with a little bit of Mars.

The hem of the trench coat has become shorter, the fitted parts have become more compact, the fabric has become thinner, and the dust is full of tearing holes, as if after many battles. It could collapse at any time, and I don't think it's going to be stronger than it used to be, but it feels lighter than it used to be.

The blade of the long knife grew to three meters and became thicker, and half of the blade became jagged, and when it hit the ground, a large number of sparks splashed.

I didn't rush to interrupt the ritual process in front of me, but cautiously raised my shield flat, dragging the serrated broadsword backwards, circling the corpses of the two men and the blood balls suspended in the air. The sparks that burst out of the blade's jagged teeth suddenly ignited something around it, sending the walls into a sea of fire. There seemed to be an inexplicable force, greedily craving the licking and scorching heat of the flames, and the fire spread faster than ever, and the burning church soon complemented the buildings outside that had been burning.

The next moment, the one that belonged to the priest was completely restored to its original appearance, and he pushed away the corpses of the believers lying on his body, and pulled out the suicide dagger from the other's chest. The blood cells suspended in mid-air suddenly cracked, pouring a large amount of blood on the priest. The priest shuddered violently in his chest, a gesture that made him feel an unbearable pain, and in the blink of an eye, he tore his robe, and his body swelled inch by inch.

At the time of description, there is such a complex process, but in reality, the whole change is extremely fast, and it is full of mysteries that even a quick sweep cannot make it relatively slow.

The priest's humanoid silhouette was crumbling, his body expanding, his hands and feet turning into claws, his hair turning into poisonous snakes, and the tail and wings of the classic occult demons poking out from under his skin, swaying slightly behind him. His face completely lost its human appearance, as if the skull was exposed, and this skull was not a human skull, but more like some kind of sheep skull mask with its horns amputated. Although it has lost its human appearance, it still retains the structure of an Homo erectus in some parts of its body. However, at the end of the eruption, the muscle groups, which had become extraordinarily strong, began to decay rapidly.

An extremely strong rancid smell, accompanied by every gasp of it, set off a huge wind wave inside the church, and the flames around it began to shake with it, filled with oppressive rhythm.

There was no doubt that it was a demon, and besides, this demon was a little different from all the demons we had seen in the past, no matter how weird it was, and still had some characteristics that could be associated with humans. And this shape, more than the demons seen in the past, is more in line with the form of classic demons in the occult.

It let out a roar of rage, and when it lowered its gaze, it met mine. I could clearly see the stellar and even the wisdom in its eyes, but the light of the sanity and wisdom only made people feel more frightened. What is it thinking? I don't know, but there's no need to guess, if it had wisdom. Of course, what we think about is not something that human beings are happy to see.

For human beings, such existence is the undisputed enemy, the embodiment of evil.

I've become accustomed to huge, indescribable fears. The impact on the soul is also accustomed to facing such an enemy that makes people intuitively feel extremely evil, extremely disgusting, and extremely dangerous. My heart was beating violently, perhaps because of the excitement of emotions, but a large part of it was due to the instinct of fighting, and this increase in heartbeat made my mind clearer. Action is more powerful.

I gently trotted around the sheep-headed demon. The sheep-headed demon was transformed by the corpse of the priest, but at this time it was ten meters high, and the tip of the tail was very sharp, because it was the enlarged image of the dagger used by the believer to commit suicide. Some of its bones were exposed, and I felt that it was an extremely strong place, and even the serrated broadsword in his hand that had been transformed by a fourth-level magic pattern would not reap too good results.

The sheep-headed demon slowly turned his body. Suddenly a flame was dug out of the ceiling - although the flame was only a burning phenomenon, it was in the hands of the sheep-headed demon. It's like digging a piece of tofu -- and it's coming at me. The flames seemed to me bigger than my whole being, and I rolled to the side, and before I could get up, I was in a state of swift sweeping.

I'm not sure if the quick sweep works. This sheep-headed demon was specially summoned by the Doomsday Shinrikyo for all of my abilities, and the demon itself does not have a fixed form. But once a fixed image is generated, it must mean that this image hints at its qualities. It wouldn't be too strange if the sheep-headed demon could take me away that helpless advantage in speed.

The singularity and limitations of the Demonic Super. It tends to manifest itself at times like these.

I raced through the invisible swift passage, I didn't run as hard as I could, I didn't go straight for the demons. Because the sheep-headed demon's turn, even if it was observed in a state of rapid sweeping, there was no sense of delay. Only the attack of the fireball seemed to stop in mid-air, and I casually shot it away with my shield, and the resulting impact was directly absorbed by the shield, and it did not act on my body at all. Once again, the shield strengthened by the fourth-level magic pattern has more mystery and strength than I expected.

When I was in a normal state, the sheep-headed demon's movements were rhythmic and clearly visible, but after entering the state of rapid sweeping, there was no relative slowness at all, and its movements were still rhythmic and clearly visible, and it seemed to be graspable. However, when it swings its claws, I don't feel at all that the speed sweep makes me "faster than it can swing its claws".

There was no obvious "faster", and that feeling prompted me to dodge the blow again and roll on the ground several times. A loud roar echoed through the inside of the church, and by the time I stood still, the sheep-headed demon was ready to throw the flames, and three deep rifts were striking where the claws had swept before.

The relativity of the quick sweep is not completely restrained, but the effect is not as good as usual. Swift Sweep is no faster than the demon's normal movements, but it is not the speed of the demon's own movement, because if it is not free from Swift Sweep, it still retains a similar sense of speed - fast, but not completely unavoidable.

In the normal state, and in the state of rapid sweeping, the speed of the other party is not much changed, which is an abnormality, a kind of targeted mystery.

This blow roughly allowed me to find out some of the secrets of the sheep-headed demon. Aside from the destructive power of its tall body, it's trying to suppress my Swift Sweep Super. It's not about speed, it's more like a targeted weakening of speed, as my speed sweep can be "relatively fast", while the sheep's head demon doesn't change "relatively fast", but it seems to adjust "how fast it is". At least, I can't seem to be able to do it anyway to the point where it's "too fast for people to react".

However, the fourth-level demonic pattern enhanced outfit, as well as the state during the battle, made me more sensitive and powerful than before, and several attacks of the sheep-headed demon were dodged by me with sudden accelerated retreats and rolls. The speed of the speed sweep can be adjusted, I maintain it on a horizontal line, and on this horizontal line, in a very short period of time, the ability of the sheep-headed demon can make it not slow relative to me, but this relative sensitivity is slightly weaker than my acceleration.

At the current speed, as long as it accelerates within half a second, the sheep's head demon's movements will take on a brief pause, and after half a second, the difference in speed will be greatly reduced. This means that if you set a minimum speed value in advance, and then suddenly increase your speed within that minimum value, you will still achieve the speed advantage for at least half a second.

The effect of a half-second speed advantage depends on the initial minimum speed and the sudden increase in speed maximum, and in this kind of detail, the sheep-headed demon does not seem to be able to grasp as finely as I do.

Most of my dodges in the tentative encounters were achieved by the advantage of this half second. After determining the mystery of the sheep-headed demon, I decided to try to fight back, although I was not sure if it had any other mysteries.

Two rolls in a row, I dodged the claws that swung again, as well as the piercing of the tail. The sheep-headed demon's movements opened and closed widely, and the speed was abnormal, and just by being rubbed, he could feel the impact that tore the whole person apart. The airflow became unusually disordered, but the flames around it became more and more ferocious. The tail pierced through the ground, and in half a second of acceleration, it was as if it were embedded in the ground and not pulled out in time - this was just an illusion of a relative speed difference, and it only took more than half a second for this illusion to disappear. The speed of every movement of the sheep-headed demon is definitely not weaker than that of any of the previous high-speed moving mysterious experts.

The "half-second pause" allowed me to dodge before I had time to slash at this tail.

As I thought, even a formidable serrated broadsword wouldn't be able to break through the demon's skin, let alone the exoskeleton, in a single sitting. When the jagged teeth rubbed against the rough demon's skin, they made a hoarse sound, and sparks splashed up. I didn't use all my strength to prevent the sheep-headed demon from speeding up suddenly, and even then, not being able to cut through its skin once still made people marvel at its physical strength.

Just as I was vigilant, the attacked sheep-headed demon howled suddenly, and its movements accelerated at once, and its tail swept across like a whip. If you are convinced that the "half-second pause" is absolute, you will certainly not be able to escape this blow. (To be continued......)
