23. Continuous
Breathing began to become rapid.
Although it seems to be "easy" to avoid sniping from afar, the difficulty and pain in it are not affordable for ordinary people - "Yaksha" is only a blade forged by mortals after all, even if it has an ability beyond the specifications of common sense, but it not only has many limitations, but also the mental energy consumed to use it is not a little bit of energy.
Every time she narrowly dodged an attack, Kaede could feel her heart pounding violently.
Just as there are so many powerful and powerful people in the world, but the number of prophets who can predict the future is extremely rare - perhaps because it involves future changes, the rewards and costs of prophecy are fundamentally one-dimensional, even a prophecy that is so vague that no one can understand it may consume all the mind of a prophet or even several years of life.
However, that "World Realm" is too far away for Kaede, even if Kaede grows to the point where it will one day break the city alone, but the obscurity of the prophecy is by no means something that a warrior who wields a knife and a gun can understand.
As long as she can't comprehend, she can't predict the future—even after a few seconds, and at best she can rely on intuition and experience to do something like "foresight".
Therefore, although Kaede's actions look similar now, they are actually just shortcuts to take with the help of Yaksha's ability......
"Fortunately, the uncle didn't know much about the 'Yaksha' before, otherwise...... Hehe, it's really over—though it's pretty much the same now!!!"
With the help of the "Yaksha", Kaede can clearly see several red and black lines, which form an ominous cage that blocks most of his space for movement. However, Kaede immediately realized that the top was still in a safe state.
These red-and-black lines are the result of Kaede's ability to use the "Yaksha" - marking the lethal fate that can lead to his own death in a short future, presumably because when a person is extremely unlucky, it will lead to all kinds of abnormal deaths, so Kaede can do something close to "prophecy" at the moment, although only the possibility of his own death in a few seconds can be "predicted".
But that's enough!
"Ahh......h
Kaede, who once again escaped the fate of death, broke out in a cold sweat on the back of his head.
In just a few seconds, several arrows came one after another, and presented a chain of killings, if you avoid it in a "normal" way, you must step into an unavoidable situation at the end - but if you block it with a weapon, you will definitely lose your balance, and judging from the opponent's hand speed, it is definitely dead!
But for Kaede, who can "predict" death at this moment, even if the other party fills up the only gap above, Kaede can also use the secret method he learned by chance to escape!
It's just that activating the special ability of "Yaksha" for a long time is also very burdensome for Kaede itself - unlike the previous Saterion, Kaede is now activating "Nakshatra" for a long time without interruption, even if you don't consider the physical fitness between the two, it can't be compared.
The brain had already begun to feel the lack of oxygen caused by too long exercise, and Kaede knew that it was very dangerous to go on like this—even if he had passed the distance of the fire blockade, if he was exhausted, it still couldn't change anything.
I don't know how many arrows the other party still has, but the few flying knives that I have spare have been used in the previous waves of attacks but have not had a chance to recover them, and all I have on my body at this moment is only the blade in my hand.
"But ......"
The location of the other party has been determined, no, the sniper himself can already be faintly seen.
Kaede already had a rough idea.
"It's just that you have to get closer a little earlier...... It's not enough to be this distance......"
========
==
"This time, the scale...... Hmm, you can't hurt each other anyway, so I'll leave you alone. ”
"Well, it feels dangerous just by looking at it, what did you do?"
"It's the kind of special type that will 'boooom!!', and in order to verify something, we made a little bit of a small modification just now!"
"That sounds dangerous...... Well, I like it~~~"
========
==
Distance...... That's pretty much enough!
"If only it was a little closer......"
Estimating the distance, Kaede roughly had a clear concept in his mind - to be on the safe side, it would be almost enough to survive one more round of attacks!
Kaede stared ahead, and with her own vision, she could clearly see the enemy attacking her, it was a young woman with gray hair that she had not expected—but since she was an enemy who wanted to kill her, Kaede had no intention of showing mercy.
Kaede stared closely at the arrows that had been wound by the opponent, mentally estimating the frequency and interval of the previous attacks against him.
“...... There are still some errors, just right, just use this attack to correct it!"
Correct the time from the time the opponent winds up to the time he lets go!
......
"This ...... Oops!"
Kaede, who was concentrating on calculating the details of the opponent's shot, was already able to see the opponent's movements directly, and temporarily stopped using the ability to use the "Yaksha" in order to reduce the mental attrition that was already on the verge of danger - however, the sudden sense of crisis from the bottom of his heart forced Kaede to consume what little energy he had left.
This doesn't matter, and the range as far as the eye can see is a large area of red—subconsciously, Kaede thought of a possibility.
How could I be so naïve to think that the other party didn't have special enchanted arrows!!
But now Kaede has no other way but to do his best to sprint forward!
The moment the arrow slashed through his ears, Kaede lifted all his strength and burst out with all the strength he had left! In an instant, Kaede broke through the red blockade at full speed.
"Luckily, luckily...... Woo, quack!?"
There was a dizzying roar in my ears, and then all I could hear in my ears was a nausea "buzzing", and even worse, a huge wave of qi coming from behind me. The huge pressure hit behind him, and Kaede, who was already thin and small, was instantly swept into the air.
Kaede suddenly thought that all he could see was the fate of "death" - or the fate of direct death, but it did not mean that he could see the possibility of being fatal but still a huge threat. Just like in his current state, he has lost the ability to resist like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, and this possibility cannot be seen by himself through the "Nakshatra"!
Before, Kaede was still secretly satirizing Saterion in his heart for habitually relying on the ability of "Yaksha", but he also followed in his footsteps...... Kaede smiled bitterly and shifted her gaze to the attacker...... At this time, the other party was calmly replacing the last arrow that ended his life.
Myself...... This can be regarded as completely obsessed with the other party's way, right?
Then, Kaede laughed.
The danger of the abnormality of laughter.
The previous estimate came into play at this time, and the moment the other party released the bowstring, Kaede's figure disappeared.
- The next moment!
"I'm waiting for now, you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wretch."
A silver-blue glow shone brightly.
