Chapter VIII
The sword that swung repeatedly in the air showed no sign of stopping, and the sword continued to fly towards Vis as if it hadn't happened. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although it was a sword thrown by a layman, it still had a certain speed, and Weiss had only simply practiced physical arts, and it was impossible to dodge it with this level of training alone. That's why he asked Weiser to fend off the sword instead of dodging.
But now the situation has changed, Weisser, who blocked the flying sword, was knocked away for unknown reasons, and it seems that he has suffered a lot of injuries, and the sword that should have been resisted is now facing Vess.
Because of the sudden change, Vis was hit by the flying sword before he had time to react, but Vis was not knocked away by the force of the fan like Weisser, and the sword only cut a hole in Vess's left shoulder, and did not cause much damage.
What was going on? Vis was very surprised, why was Visser, who went to attack, bounced away, but he was simply scratched? Could it be that the flying sword could bounce back all the attacks that attacked it? So he who didn't attack it was only injured by the original power of the sword?
"Lord Ves," Visser's voice came from behind him, "that sword seems to reflect the attack, and I'm sure it was my own attack that just flew me." ”
Is it really just a reflex attack? Then why would he throw this sword out, if this sword's ability is a reflex attack, then shouldn't he hold the sword in his hand to defend against our attacks and deal damage to us?
But Count Mel did something quite different, throwing the sword that should have been used for self-defense at him. Could it be that he has another magic weapon to win? Weiss, who was wary of this uncertain factor, stared at the fat man in front of him.
Count Mel did not take advantage of Weiss's panic to pursue, but took out the dagger in his arms and stabbed Klopt who fell at his feet. He knew very well that the top priority was to kill the emperor, and that these people who were in his way would not be able to solve it for a while, and if they were allowed to delay until the large army appeared, it would be too late.
Seeing the Count's move, Vis immediately took action, quickly pulled out the pistol pinned to his waist, aimed it at Count Mel and pulled the trigger. Having been a businessman, Vis naturally encountered all kinds of dangers in the process of running a business, and at that time he did not have enough money to hire first-class magicians, so he turned his attention to non-magical technological products.
Pistols, in a world full of magic, would have such a thing, I have to say that no one could have predicted. When the magicians were making magic tools, they accidentally mixed two materials, nitrate and sulfur, and when they were heated during the experiment, a huge explosion occurred, and several magicians were seriously injured in the accident. However, because magic can easily produce such an effect, their existence is ignored. It's just that for people who don't know magic, this material is very tempting. Upon learning of this news, people appeared who studied it, and they named the material gunpowder. Due to the lack of magic protection, many rather tragic accidents occurred, and the empire once ordered a ban on the research of gunpowder, but the empire's ban could not prevent the insecure ordinary people from studying gunpowder. This happened a thousand years ago, after a thousand years of development, the pistol was born, although it was expensive, but it was far less expensive than the price of hiring a magician, so Weiss chose a pistol in his early years as a merchant, and he has always carried it with him since he bought it.
Confident in his marksmanship, Weiss was sure that his bullet had hit the fat man's body, and Count Mel's body did tremble when the bullet hit him, but he still stabbed his dagger at the Emperor like a nobody. At this time, Weiss remembered that when Weiser stopped Mel from attacking, he threw two hidden weapons, one hit the Earl's body without any effect, and the other shot was aimed at the sword in the Earl's hand, but the sword was sent flying.
Damn, I was negligent, and the remorseful Vis quickly reloaded and prepared for the next attack, which was obviously too late. Is there no one left to stop Mel from killing the Emperor at this moment?
Mel's hand suddenly stopped, or rather, it was stopped.
"I'm the Emperor of the Empire, and even if I don't have magic, I'm not going to die so easily!" the Emperor who fell to the ground did not give up the consciousness of survival, and as soon as he grasped the dagger that Mel stabbed at his throat, the sharp dagger cut through the Emperor's hand, and the blood dripped on the Emperor's gorgeous white robe, dyeing it red, but the Emperor did not let go, but held the dagger harder. However, the emperor's strength was still too small to prevent the dagger from approaching his throat, but the emperor's actions did a good job of delaying time.
"Now, Visser, attack the Count!" Versus commanded Visser, who had risen to his feet, and raised his reloaded pistol himself.
Weiser threw two darts, one aimed at the earl's throat and the other at the hand holding the dagger. At the same moment, Vis pulled the trigger, aiming at the Count's heart.
Count Mel's reaction this time was completely different from before, he no longer ignored Vis and Weisser's attacks, but released the dagger that the Emperor was holding tightly, and lowered his head at the same time, the result of this action was that both Weiss's bullet and Weisser's hidden weapon would touch the Earl's coat before hitting Count Meier's body.
Even if the earl's coat is a gold-inlaid coat that symbolizes nobility, it is impossible to block bullets and hidden weapons. But something unexpected happened, the bullet and the hidden weapon that hit the coat were immediately bounced back, and the target was their master, and the count, who should have been mortally wounded, was now unscathed.
"Oops!" exclaimed Weiss, who was hit in the right shoulder by a bullet that bounced back, causing his right hand to lose strength and the gun he was holding fell to the ground.
Unlike her master, Weiser has undergone systematic training, and that training also includes an empty-handed concealment weapon, and it is easy for her to catch the concealment weapon she throws. Just as Visser was about to catch the dart, something unexpected happened, the dart suddenly accelerated, and its speed changed to a speed that could not be caught by the human eye in an instant. Unable to catch the dart, Visser was hit, and although Visser quickly withdrew her hand with her extraordinary motor nerves, the dart left a long gash in her arm. And that's not all, this is followed by a second dart thrown by Visser, and after failing to catch the dart for the first time, Visser's chosen solution this time is to dodge. She quickly turned sideways and jumped to the side, but before Visser dodged the dart, the dart suddenly turned around in the air, "What!?" Visser exclaimed, the dart cutting a long cut in her back before she had time to dodge a second time.
