Chapter 257: A Letter That Can Be Sent
The swinging blade collided with a heavy sword one size larger than it, bursting with flying sparks.
After only a moment's stalemate, the former was forced to retreat, and Hori had to deftly turn his sword and swing slightly, directing the enemy's attack to the ground, and leaping quickly backwards.
The dazzling sword seemed to be draped in a beating flame, and the force of the essence almost gravitationally attracted dust and rubble towards it, enveloping it with a force that overtook the storm, and slammed into the ground of unknown material.
The entire Demon King City seemed to be shaken suddenly, the pitch-black field expanded and cracked as if it was reproducing the movement of the earth's crust, and the range within a hundred feet of the landing point collapsed out of thin air, and the terrifying impact force caused the earth to rise and fall like the surface of the water, and the shattered masonry was like impurities erupting from a volcanic crater, and rushed straight into the sky with a roar.
Before they could fall like hailstones, the figure of the otherworldly light was already close to his opponent again, and with one hand, he swung his heavy sword in a strange arc and picked it at Hori's throat.
"Die!"
Even such a short word deserves to be meaningless white noise in a battle beyond the speed of sound.
But I don't know if the connection between the two played a role again, and the other party's words were accompanied by a killing intent as hot as molten steel and clearly blasted into her consciousness.
As if a choice was made in response to stress, Rinko Hori did not retreat or retreat to dodge, but lowered his center of gravity and pointed the holy sword in his hand at the enemy's right shoulder clavicle, and at the same time took a step forward to the left, stepping into the dead end of the slash.
The cold arc changed direction in an instant, and the Otherworldly Light Heart swung his sword like a sharp sword to intercept the edge that was biting him, and then clenched his free left fist.
The monstrous wrist armor wrapped around the fist, and like a poisonous snake swinging its head, it suddenly poked out and struck the girl's chest.
In a hurry, Hikari unexpectedly let go of the hilt of the sword, allowing the holy sword formed in his heart to dissipate, and took the first step back to parry this powerful blow.
Like a cannon fire, the air hissed to flee from the center of the collision, and the petite girl held off the enemy attack in place, but the ground in the cone behind her cracked, revealing bottomless cracks that spread all the way to the other side of the ring hall.
It's so strong.
It's not just a strong strength, after all, according to the other party, when two people from the same source get closer, her strength will rise the same, so the power of the brave who has never had a sense of existence before will awaken in the near future.
But what Rinko Hori is feeling now is something on a different level.
For example, it is as if you are completely in the growth period, as if you are facing your own evolutionary type, and the feeling of oppression that exists from the upper to the lower level spreads all over the body along with the tingling of the arms.
"Alone in battle, scarring, slaying friends, usurping the kingdom, and finally defeating an almost invincible being, it took him to his current powerβ"
The attack just now was just a dark cloud that appeared in the sky before the storm, and the otherworldly light seized the opportunity of the opponent to spread his blade, turned the blade of the sword, and brought a wave of white qi, which slashed diagonally through the chest, trying to slice the enemy like a salmon.
"Do you want to defeat me even if you want to defeat me?"
"Those who betray themselves will not win!"
Rinko Hori pulled out her newborn holy sword, a silver flash wrapped around her right arm.
She fearlessly met the devastating slash, and raised the brilliant sword upward.
Like two supernovas entangled, the spindle-like light washed in all directions, the high ceiling split in two from the center by the sword strike swung from below, and the magnificent Demon King City fell apart like a building block with a skeleton removed.
In an instant, only the circular platform they were on was suspended miserably in darkness.
Sure enough, this place is also a similar existence in another dimension.
Although he was still in the process of wrestling, Hikari still glanced at the gate that had turned into powder.
The notebook that used to sit there has completely disappeared.
As if enraged by her distraction, the golden glow of the Holy Sword was pressed down by the otherworldly light, and an almost scorching storm poured out around her body, the aftermath of the simple swing of the weapon!
The leaping and flipped sword light differentiated into a cage, and the flaws exposed in the cervical vertebrae, heart, waist, knees, and temples would be firmly locked in the next moment, and then usher in the dark blue sword blade that brought death.
"Betraying yourself? You understand it yourself, right? That strange thing is nothing more than a delusional shield to cover your fragile true side. β
The Otherworldly Light maintained the offensive with precision, carefully adjusting the gap between pressing and returning to defense, and gradually cornered the prey.
This is exactly the tactic used by Hoshikawa Aoi during the second seal.
She whispered softly, "Selfish, cowardly, willful...... This is the real Rinko Hori, this is the real us. β
Surrounded by a sword as heavy as a rain curtain, the golden light stubbornly clinged to the brink of extinction like a swaying flower.
"Maybe that's the case, but do you think you're not cowardly or willful now?"
I couldn't tell if I was talking to the other party or myself, and I recalled the experience during this time.
"I ...... It seems to know what the real reason for her anger is. β
I don't dare to express my true heart, and I will only use methods similar to cheating, relying on the people around me and restraining the people around me.
That's why that magical girl has an opinion on this.
Missing the opportunity is just an excuse, just like the current me who can't accept the reality after returning from another world and pushes the fault to the world, even if we don't cross over, we don't have a car accident, we will never be able to deliver that letter.
"What are you talking about?"
The self in the other world asked questions incomprehensibly.
"I haven't experienced your battles, but I have memories that you don't have."
The golden sword light eroded into the blue rain curtain, gradually seeping through the gaps.
"Thank you, it's because I see myself at the end of my life like this that I can say that-"
Hori Rin Mitsu roared angrily, "I don't want to become a woman like you who only feels sorry for herself!" β
If you really can't give up, then grab it, whether it's to escape or self-harm, it's meaningless, and use the excuse of not being able to take care of others to maintain the relationship, and in the end you can only stay halfway and never reach the end.
Because the true self is reflected in the mirror called the other self, it can be asserted-
Now she can send letters that she couldn't send at that time.
As if it had been deliberately slowed down, the sonorous clear sound reverberated on the unrecognizable platform repeatedly.
It is not only a holy sword born from the heart, but also a figure that leaps out, [Light] breaks through the sword encirclement that almost completed the blockade.
"Am I not doing well enough? Why didn't you die?! β
The Otherworldly Light easily deflected off the opponent's counterattack, and the sword blade that fought back was like a dragon, leaving wounds on the girl's right wrist and waist, and the blood evaporated into a red mist as soon as it overflowed.
Then, the pupils under her visor contracted suddenly.
At the cost of her injuries, Rinko Hori bent her left elbow and her figure exploded in front of her, then bombarded her opponent's heart with a fierce blast!
Just as the offense and defense of the first round switched sides, the heavy elbow tore through the air, imprinted on the pitch-black armor like a straight steel drill.
Click.
So the crack creeped in all directions.
