1399 Demon Hunting
The sawtooth swirled around the massive blade, splashing a large number of sparks in the piercing grinding sound. For me, the weight of this knife is also very impressive, and it is far less convenient to swing it with one hand than the previous long knives. However, these masses, spinning sawtooth, and sparks are not physical phenomena, and their mysteries are proportional to the momentum that can be observed at this time. What it embodies is the power of "the fourth-level Demonic Pattern Envoy can't use it freely". Under the premise of this concept, compared to the KY3001 used in the previous battle against Novsky, the Sawtooth Broadsword actually has a stronger attack power.
It is impossible for me to use the fourth-level magic pattern to stay in the battle against Novsky, but the composition of this sawtooth broadsword is also targeted. It is aimed at the sheep-headed demon in front of him, and if it is used against Novsky, it is not certain whether the effect will be better than KY3001.
The sheep-headed demon is huge in size, and has a "mystery" that is completely different from that of Novsky, and the Doomsday Shinrikyo summoned it through the instant data I had gathered from my previous battles with a group of priests and believers, and my preparations before that were relatively rigid. If it is only a third-level magic pattern, it will not be able to make changes instantly, which is the most obvious weakness of the third-level magic pattern messenger, but in the case of the fourth-level magic pattern, this weakness can be partially compensated.
It is possible to hedge against the aftermath by absorbing temporary data, build temporary new weapons, and improve all of your basic abilities or greatly improve one of your abilities. As for how to deal with the situation when fighting, what kind of mysterious phenomena or weapons should be created to solve the dilemma he faced, it completely depends on the experience and judgment of the Demon Embolism Messenger himself.
The current situation is entirely based on my intuition and judgment. Fourth-level magic patterns will blur my hazy invisible thoughts. It is presented in a more precise tangible form. Eventually, it became the mask, the garment, the shield, and the serrated broadsword I wear today. Perhaps the appearance of these things still retains their original characteristics, but the function and texture of the interior have changed drastically.
Carrying the serrated broadsword, feeling the terrible destructive force of the weight, I raised my shield and entered the swift state again. Just as I thought. The invisible high-speed corridor naturally has a driving force, which greatly reduces its own load. In normal times, carrying this serrated broadsword makes it a bit difficult to run or dodge, but the mystery of the speed-skimming super allows me to still be "relatively fast".
The "half-second" opportunity still exists.
How strong is the Swift Sweep Super's endurance? I never had a clear idea. When using supers, it is natural to feel an intuitive feeling. Make yourself aware of how much load you can take when using Swift Sweep now. In the past apocalyptic illusions, there were also situations where it was a little difficult to sustain just carrying a person, and in the subsequent apocalyptic illusions, there were also rapid movements at the speed of light and superconsciousness, as well as the experience of carrying many people and heavy objects, and the feeling of instinctively avoiding faster-than-light movement.
This vague feeling. Although it can also be considered "unstable", the same. It is precisely because of instability that even in the most desperate times in theory, it can still give hope to people. I don't think that the ambiguity of ability is a sign of immaturity, and that this ambiguity should be maintained. It's a stupid act. On the contrary, I am more inclined to be more inclined to be clear and unclear than everything is clear. Everything is possible - this idea may come from the despair and horror I felt in the reality of the hospital, but its essence is not to force myself to be a fool, but to think that "the world and destiny itself are full of infinite possibilities, and thus full of infinite possibilities in itself, so that the unobstructed embodiment of everything at a glance is its limit".
There is no absolute right or wrong in the thinking itself, I just follow those ideas that can give me hope, and I no longer care whether such ideas conform to the objective law.
Because, in terms of theory alone, the conclusion that most follows the objective law is that "the end of the world is inevitable, and the 'virus' cannot be defeated." "Even if 'virus' doesn't exist, everything I envision, including the world I see, and the definition of 'mystery', is actually a delusion caused by my shallow and terminally ill illness - but what does that mean to me?
There are probably those who think that science can explain everything, and that "virus", "world" and "doomsday" will eventually be incorporated into scientific reasoning, but the end is imminent, death and despair make people crazy, and the day when science can explain everything may never come.
I can only feel that the opponents I have to face, including visible enemies and invisible monsters, are pressing forward step by step, and the most important thing that everyone wants to survive is time - and the absence of time is an objective fact that everyone must admit.
In this despair, I can no longer think calmly and logically, and all the conclusions that come to me will only make people collapse.
Then, indulge your own thoughts, and force yourself to think that although everything is collapsing, its ultimate fate is still in the blur, and draw imaginary possibilities from the vague future, and ignore the objectivity that makes people collapse.
My abilities, my hopes, are pinned in "things beyond my imagination", in "vague thoughts", in "things that surpass all wise men". So, I was really a mentally ill person.
Whether it is the sheep-headed demon in front of me, the child of destiny that I encountered before, or the final weapon that I will inevitably face in the future, I will use the power condensed by this thought to defeat them one by one.
I felt crazy, but calm. Piercing sounds, violent vibrations, constantly came from the huge weapon on the shoulder. I looked at the sheep-headed demon, and it was true that its movements were not entirely constrained by the Swift Sweep Super, and I only had a "half-second" advantage. However, when they first encountered demons, the gap between them was even greater than it is now. At that time, I hadn't obtained the Demon Pattern, and I hadn't met Tomie, and the demon's speed was completely higher than mine, but I still survived the demon's hands and slew it. Is the comparison between advantages and disadvantages even greater today than in the past?
Of course it is impossible. I didn't think from the beginning that this sheep-headed demon summoned by the Doomsday Shinrikyo against me could kill me.
Even at the beginning of the temptation, I didn't think it was helpless. For me, as long as I'm alive, there must be no real helplessness. This is not an objective fact. It's just an idea.
I adjusted my breathing, took a steady stride, and swam from side to side, luring it to strike first. The first attack has the advantage of the first attack, and such an advantage must be based on the premise that the opponent can respond to any counterattack in a timely manner. If the sheep-headed demon is more explosive, then I can't make sure that I can complete the attack at the same time. Whether it can ensure that the first hit is fatal, or whether it can dodge the opponent's counterattack.
On the contrary, assuming that it attacks first, as long as it is a familiar attack pattern, I can make full use of the advantage of "half a second" to carry out a misplaced attack. A misplaced attack does not mean that it can be fatal with one hit, and it does not mean that the opponent can only be restrained, but the advantage in probability is still greater.
I don't fully believe in probability. However, my thoughts and judgments cannot completely exclude probability. I think. You can bear the consequences of this judgment, even if it is wrong.
All thoughts and judgments were made before the quick sweep.
An invisible high-speed tunnel is wrapped around the sheep-headed demon. At the same time, it once again raised its great axe, an invisible but clearly felt pressure that seemed to make the church resemble an over-inflated balloon. Explode from the inside. The violent impact radiates outward in all directions, and the pressure on the speed sweep also increases correspondingly, which is the first to be used for a long time as the unavoidable defect of the speed sweep. It is Father Sissen in the past apocalyptic fantasy.
The advantage of relative speed exists even in this case, but the difference in speed can be actually used, and it is no longer possible to maintain "half a second".
It's only about a tenth of half a second?
There's no point in going into detail about the exact numbers, because I've determined that I can do the staggering attack myself.
Just as I was about to strike, I struck the side of the axe with my shield to deflect it slightly, and used the tumbling to open up the distance and unload the rest of the impact. The giant axe fell from a meter away from the side, and the flying stones became almost frozen in the blink of an eye, and the only sheep-headed demon who was still active was trying to retract the giant axe.
I rushed forward on the ground, spinning my body, my feet gaining strength from the ground, and this force pushed my waist to rotate, and then all the way through my shoulders and arms, layered on top of each other, swinging the serrated broadsword in the most standard posture of maximum human force taught by Tomie.
The swirling sawtooth slashed at the sheep-headed demon's wrist in an instant.
The grinding sound became more intense, the sparks that burst out became hotter, and the sheep-headed demon howled, I think it was because it felt pain. Because its hard skin was being cut in layers, and in the blink of an eye, the wrist was cut in half. It wasn't easy, and even such a crazy jagged speed couldn't cut off the wrist directly. The force that came back made me feel a little numb in my arm.
But it worked, I didn't rush forward, I just gave up the idea of cutting off this wrist with one blow, pulled out the serrated broadsword, and swept diagonally behind to open the distance.
Cutting off the wrist of a sheep-headed demon is not a big deal, and if such a demon loses its wrist, it will not immediately become weak, and it is impossible for him to lose his ability to attack. What's more, there is also the possibility that it can recover in a short period of time. However, being able to cut off its wrist basically means that today's serrated broadsword can also cut off its head.
Since it is presented in the form of a head, the "head" itself is one of the weaknesses, if not a weakness. Completely just a decorative "head", even among demons is rare, no, almost arguably, never seen before.
Especially on the battlefield of consciousness, any tangible form has an intangible meaning. So, what is the meaning of "sheep's head"? Whatever it is, it occupies an absolutely important part of this sheep-headed demon image.
The sheep-headed demon seemed to have become even more frantic due to the injury, and its speed increased again, and the "half-second" advantage it had maintained before was only maintained at an average of "a quarter of a second" in its counterattack after the injury. Not every time there is a "quarter of a second" usable speed difference, sometimes more, sometimes less, as long as there is a mistake in judgment, you can't avoid being hit, and at worst, being missed.
The sheep-headed demon's explosive attack, even if it was just a graz, would bring serious injuries to this fourth-level demonic strengthened body. Luckily, my shield has also been strengthened to further avoid or reduce injuries if used properly. Of course, it is impossible to resist directly with a shield, but, as before, it is also tried and tested to strike from the side, diverting its attack route and avoiding the most direct impact.
Even if it's a quarter-second advantage in speed, or less, as long as that advantage is there, I can take advantage of it and deflect direct attacks – both physical and non-physical. Because, the shield itself is also mysterious, and when the fourth-level magic pattern was constructed according to my idea, it was to condense all the defense power into such a small area.
The sheep-headed demon swings an axe, howls, and rambles, and the attack is very simple, but it is extremely fast and powerful, and each blow will produce a shockwave in all directions. In addition, it can also breathe flames from its mouth, and when its tail flicks, the dagger-like tip seems to be able to cut through space, and if it is not blocked with a shield, every part of my body will be directly cut off. It will not have a fixed movement pattern like a program, and it will suddenly burst out at a faster speed, which will catch people off guard.
Indeed, it did, as expected by Shinrikyo Doomsday, diminished my speed advantage to the extreme. If you don't promote the fourth-level magic pattern, there is probably no other way than to retreat, and can retreat allow you to get out of this gathering place that you don't know the truth or falsehood at this time? Is it possible to get someone else back? I don't think it's possible. Since the Doomsday Shinrikyo is here, it will not allow me to break away easily.
Killing the sheep-headed demon is the easiest and most direct way to get out of it, and the Doomsday Shinrikyo has completed this summoning through heavy arrangements, which is not a situation where you want to prepare more back-hands, and you can prepare more back-hands. (To be continued......)
