Originally, I wanted to read it a few more times and make changes, but time didn't allow it. Let's see it in the evening, upload it now, and maybe change it later...... Of course, it may not be modified.

===================================================================

In the face of Shiina Mashiro's quick attack, Artoria clasped her hands together and made a blocking stance.

Although her breath was loud, Artoria actually tensed her nerves all over her body, and made a prediction of the attack direction that Shiina Mashiro might choose.

From that direction.

"Bang!"

I don't want to, even if I have already predicted it, and I made a defensive move in time. Artoria was still directly kicked to the side by Shiina Mashiro, because the force of her feet was too strong, and Artoria was forced to fly into the far side of the forest area.

The power is so great......

That was Artoria's first thought when she was knocked into the air, and then she fell to the edge of the forest in the council chamber.

The council hall of the elven territory is also located in the back area of the entire territory, and there are no elf houses near this council hall, which is mainly set up for the discussion of important matters, so Shiina Mashiro will attack so confidently. And in the elven territory, if you exclude most of the buildings, this is also an extremely large forest area, so the woods are also dense and prosperous.

Artoria was shot into the woods in this area.

Passing through the tall woods, Artoria was beaten into the woods, and before her mind could fully settle down while still "flying" in the air, her instinct skills drove her body to jump in one direction instinctively.

The next moment, Shiina Mashiro appeared in her original position, and the attack missed.

"Oh, before you come to your senses, your body instinctively dodges? It seems that you really have a lot of things hidden in you. ”

If you miss a blow, then continue the onslaught. Shiina Mashiro is one of the most powerful melee among the four holy beasts, and most of them rely on a continuous attack formation like a tide. To do this, you'll need to be constantly close to your opponent, so she's moving at an incredible speed.

Since she has some kind of ability to instinctively anticipate her opponent's attack, I'm going to speed it up and keep picking it up. Just speed up to the point where even though you can realize the next move, your body can't keep up.

With her current ability, it is far from enough to get rid of my entanglement.

Suddenly, Shiina Mashiro's speed was even faster, and he rushed to Artoria in the air.

She can also move in the air?

"Why, your eyes seem to be surprised. Is it hard for you to accept that I can move in the air? You think you can do it alone?"

Shiina Mahaku taunted Artoria and kicked her straight in the stomach. The speed was so fast that even though Artoria had already "felt" it, her hands and feet couldn't keep up with the other party at all, and she took the blow hard, and the whole person fell to the ground.

Artoria's body fell directly to the ground, fortunately the ground was lawn, Artoria's injuries were not too serious, but because of Shiina Mashiro's force, it still made her body tumble and tumble, and the continuous pain and uncomfortable feeling immediately spread throughout her body.

Her speed was so fast, so fast that even if I could sense her movements, my body and hands and feet couldn't keep up with her attacks, and I would inevitably get attacked directly.

What to do......

Artoria was still lying on the ground, ready to get up and respond. Shiina Mashiro was already running towards her.

I saw Shiina Mashiro's body rushing to the ground, stepping his feet into the air, and suddenly sprinting from the sky to the ground where Artoria was, and throwing a punch, aiming directly at Artoria's head.

If I don't dodge it, I'll have to die here!

A strong sense of life and death stimulated Artoria's mind back and forth, causing her brain nerves to become extremely awake and sensitive at this moment, and she rolled her body to the side before the punch hit her head.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

Artoria, who had been rolling over continuously, was finally a little away from the formidable opponent in front of her, but she could only keep panting, and before she could stand up, the next wave of Shiina Mahaku's attack came again.

You really won't give me a chance to stop......

Shiina Mashiro sprints, and a leg sweep kicks Artoria's body.

Artoria did her best to inject magic into the outer layers of her body and strengthen her defense with all her might.

At the beginning of the fight, perhaps due to her lack of experience, Artoria did not deploy magic power to strengthen her body in advance, so at the beginning, she was a mere human ** to receive the sudden onslaught of Shiina Mashiro, and because of this, she suddenly fell into this extremely unfavorable situation.

Now she's on the back foot.

And worst of all, she can't use the battle skirt mode and the skirt mode!

Why don't you need it at this time? Xiaoming, what the hell have you done?

In this defense, with the bonus of mana, Artoria's situation is a little better, and the damage she has taken is much lighter, although she is still kicked into the air, but she has now begun to be able to concentrate and deal with the battle.

The first thing to do is to "stand firm" first, get out of this situation of continuous pursuit, and get rid of forced defense.

After being kicked away, Artoria immediately took control of her body and quickly fell to the ground.

And just when she just fell to the ground and didn't do anything to prepare, Shiina Mashiro attacked again.

Damn, doesn't there be any gap? It's like a storm.

This is the white tiger among the four holy beasts, Shiina is really white?

Although Artoria's situation is very bad, at least she is not just passively beaten and dodged like in the previous rounds. From the instinctive defense in the subconscious, to the active defense that has begun to take the initiative now, the difference is so great that only Artoria and Shiina Mashiro in the current battle can understand it.

Under Artoria's active defense, although Shiina Mashiro repeatedly hit the girl, the effect received was much less than the previous few blows, and she knew that the opponent had gotten rid of the previous brainless defense.

The flustered effect of the opening seemed to have worn off, and she began to slowly composure, even if she was still hurting. - Shiina Mahaku

Fortunately, at least now I am no longer flustered and can respond consciously. I didn't expect that the negligence at the beginning would become a disadvantage for the next few rounds in a row. That's a lesson. - Artoria

As a result, Artoria and Shiina Mashiro entered the stage of back-and-forth entanglement. Artoria kept being hit more or less, and Shiina Mashiro was still unharmed.

"Looks like you've come to your senses, huh?" In the process of attacking and defending back and forth, Shiina Shiina Shiro still had the leisure to chat with Artoria for a while.

"yes, so what? Why don't you use this idle talk to break through my defenses?"

"Huh...... Do you really think I'm suddenly idle and talking while attacking?"

“...... What do you say?"

"I remember that as soon as you have a chance to breathe steadily, the mana in your body will be replenished immediately, right?"

"......" defended his opponent's melee attacks in silence, but was inevitably injured. At this point, Artoria was already running her magic and strengthening her defenses. Even so, the opponent's silver-haired girl's series of hand-to-hand attacks were still able to cause Artoria to feel pain after pain. It's not that she didn't prevent it, but she was protected head-on, and the pain still continued to spread from the defensive site to her cranial nerves.

There is no way, the strength of the other party is too amazing. If you prevent it, you're getting hurt, so it's not a way to continue.

"If I keep pestering you, will you have a chance to replenish your mana? And if you can't replenish your mana, how can you continue to strengthen your defenses after your mana is exhausted to deal with my attack?

She's constantly messing with me, and she's dragging it out until the magic runs out, and I'm left to her slaughter.

"You don't seem to be innocent in battle, do you?" Artoria tried to taunt her, but the exit slowed her down for a moment.

"Is that just an illusion caused by your lack of knowledge, remember to read more books in the future, but don't be a lonely person. Shiina Mahaku seized the moment and punched her in the stomach with a hard punch.

"And ah, if you're not good at disrupting the enemy's thinking by talking in battle, then don't learn from me. I'm not afraid of you, little girl. ”

"Vomit ......" plus the blow from the kick before, Artoria has been hit in the stomach twice, and a burst of vomiting ** was forced up. She suppressed the vomiting ** vigorously, and at the same time reluctantly retreated a few steps, and paid attention to Shiina Mashiro's movements, avoiding the other party from launching a fierce attack while she was not in the right state.

The current situation is really not good, although I thought that it would be a loss, but I didn't expect it to fall into such an embarrassing situation. It seems that in the battle with Vermilion, Vermilion really released a lot of water, just from the fact that she did not attack as relentlessly as Zhenbai, it was already a big release.

It's better to admit defeat and forget it, if you continue to fight, you are purely looking for abuse.

"That's, Lady Mashiro. Artoria stroked her stomach with one hand and said weakly as she raised her hand. At the same time, she tried to steady her breathing.

"I want to admit defeat, okay?"

"What do you say?" asked Shiina with a smile on her face.

"Really, I've been beaten like this by you?"

"Not enough...... It's not enough, are you in terrible pain**? Do you have obvious blood marks on your body? Is there despair in your eyes? You ...... all of this. Nope!"

After saying that, Shiina Mahaku smiled fiercely, swept his legs, and swept out a big wind blade, shooting straight at Artoria. Artoria couldn't dodge, leaving a large cut on her shoulder.

"Hiss......" Sharp pain spread from her shoulder to Artoria's body, and she trembled as she touched the wound.

"Do you think I don't know what you're up to? The hideous smile was only for a moment, and Shiina Mashiro immediately changed to a simple smile. It was as if the dangerous face had never appeared.

And, seeing the blonde girl's painful appearance, Shiina Mashiro said very happily: "Besides, laxity is a taboo in battle, how can you relax your vigilance against me just because of a small conversation, in case I make up my mind to kill you, you will fall to the ground just now." ”

It's as if you just deliberately missed it, if it weren't for the intuition skill at the moment of crisis, I might have fallen to the ground long ago, and the wind blade was clearly coming towards my head.

Artoria thought unhappily.

"Well, it looks like you're very upset, don't play if you're unhappy. Otherwise, if you say to me affectionately, 'Sister, I was wrong, please forgive me for not knowing the height of the sky.' I might consider accepting your towel. After thinking about it, Shiina Shimono said happily with a fist slapped on the palm of his hand.

Artoria listened, took a deep breath, and then smiled indifferently and said:

"Forget it, I'll still say that. ”

"You, not qualified. "Say it word by word.

"The little girl is stubborn enough, I like it. Shiina Mashiro wasn't angry, just looked at Artoria with a smile.

"That's what makes it impossible to beat you to your feet, and I hope you'll bring me even greater happiness, Leah. ”

"Whew......" exhaled the breath she had just inhaled, and Artoria felt her magic fill again, and her expression became resolute again.

She waved her hand at the other and re-aligned her posture.

"I'll do my best. ”
