"So, do I need to stay here for about a day?"

"Because ordinary healing magic has no effect on your injuries, you can only use some half-baked healing methods - now your body is being repaired by pure life energy, and if you move too much, it is easy to disrupt the flow of those life energy. Sheena explained to Vlad, suddenly remembering a strange phenomenon that Lilou had noticed at the time, "By the way, there is one thing that we don't quite understand - there are some substances left near your wound that can hinder the healing of the wound, what are they?"

I thought it was a toxin, but after Sheena's test, it was not a toxin, and it didn't have any harmful ingredients in itself except for hindering the healing of the wound. If it weren't for the fact that this strange substance interfered with the healing magic, Sheena wouldn't have to be in this snowy region anymore.

“......”

"Don't you want to say it?"

Seeing the other party's unspeakable appearance, Hina didn't force it: "If there's something that needs to be kept secret, then you don't have to tell me...... It's just a little curious. ”

Vlad hesitated again and again, but finally did not open his mouth to reveal this "secret" on his body.

【Magic of the Earthly World...... Can it also have a disrupting effect?]

"I'm ...... now There is an urgent need to find those Celestial Realm people stationed on this mountain peak...... If you're going to wait here for a day......"

"Uh-huh, do you fantasize about letting me, a 'girl' (accent), carry you on your back?"

Sheena's teasing made Vlad subconsciously tense his body - yes, is there still a chance for this kind of contact...... Wait a minute. This is all for the other party to say, it is impossible to achieve it at all!

"I'm right?" saw that the expression on Vlad's face tended to turn red. Hina couldn't help but take a step back, "It's really dangerous...... I thought. The kind of 'male protagonist' who woke up and saw the beautiful girl for the first time when he opened his eyes, and didn't think about the other 'male protagonists' who first figured out how to bring down the life-saving benefactor, and only zài was saved in the story - it turns out that zài is also stored in reality?"

"No, that's not the case!"

Vlad felt that he had to explain it to the other party no matter what!

However, he didn't understand that Sheena had no intention of accepting his explanation from the beginning...... Or to put it another way - all of Vlad's attempts to brush up his favorability are completely futile.

What a poor child.

"Don't think about what you have and don't, you're lucky enough to be able to pick up a small life. Don't pick and choose, and be grateful for the possible luck that gave you the rest of your life. ”

"That's right. ”

Vlad also felt that he was already very happy to survive this time, and if he continued to force more, maybe God would not be able to get used to it, right? Moreover, if he continued to stay here and wait for the wound to heal completely, wouldn't it be the same as being able to be with this beautiful girl named Sheena. Can we spend more time together?

...... I really don't know how Vlad's subordinates, who have broken their wings, will feel after knowing that their young master only gave them some limited time to mourn, and then they devote themselves to the budding love affair...... All right. Anyway, he couldn't hear the voice of the deceased~

"On the 'Throat of the World', are there also Celestial Realm people stationed?"

Sheena, who learned the news from Vlad's mouth, looked at the sky with some wariness.

"That's right. It's a mercenary organization from a different country than me, right? But in fact, it also has official authorization and support, and is regarded as the spokesperson of that country in this matter. It doesn't matter. ”

“...... Do you have a bad relationship between the two countries?"

"Why do you ask that? Although I don't dare to say how friendly I am, and there are all kinds of fights in private, I still maintain peace on the surface......

"Over there, there are a couple of guys coming at us, and they still seem to be hostile. ”

"What!?"

Vlad, who was lying flat, struggled to raise his head to look in the direction that Sheena was pointing, and in the next second, his face turned iron blue - those few black shadows that were rapidly approaching were really the enemies who attacked him before and almost wiped out his subordinates!

"It's them...... It was they who attacked me. At the moment of the great enemy, although Vlad was nervous, although he was afraid, although he was angry, he did not lose his calm and reason, "Miss Sheena, you should quickly find a place to hide, their target is me, and they may not be ...... to you Eh, eh!?"

Sheena, who had refused to drag Vlad away before, didn't say a word, picked up Vlad's seriously injured body, turned around and rushed in the direction where she and Lilu had traveled all the way - over there, there was still an illusion caused by Aisha!

"Miss Sheena, why are you ......?"

"Entrust your life to someone else's hands, and expect the other party to be merciful for a while to live? Don't make trouble, this is not the way you and me live!"

It is simply impossible for Hina to choose such a passive way. The development of events is far from reaching the point where it is necessary to rely on the kindness of the other party to survive.

"Besides, if they are really a group of brutal outlaws, as you said before, do you think they will let a passing girl go by if you stand in their shoes, huh?"

As an Assassin, Sheena knew all too well about the way these people were born in darkness and shadow—the reason why she would describe some people as "brutal" was because even beasts of prey would rarely kill for predation and defense against accidents (with the exception of cats), but people were different.

As long as it doesn't affect their own safety, these people don't mind killing some unrelated people - for them anyway. Many times, killing people doesn't need a reason. It's enough to just have fun.

Guys with such perverted tendencies. In particular, he likes to abuse and even abuse women.

"If I really do that, and at the same time lack the ability to protect myself, maybe before you die, you can see a bloody and cruel 'live performance' with your own eyes......" Sheena looked at Vlad, which made Vlad shudder involuntarily, "I don't know if you've seen it, but I ...... But I've seen it with my own eyes. ”

The trace of murderous aura that quietly seeped out made Vlad, who was lying behind Heena. It felt as if the entire part of my body was being held by a cold blade.

"Miss Sheena......?"

For a moment, he felt that the girl had become incredibly strange—even though Vlad had only known Sheena for less than an hour.

"Don't make a sound, I need to remember my previous memories......"

Sheena stopped Vlad from trying to speak, carefully remembering the route she and Lilou had taken out of the illusion. Now whether she and Vlad can escape from the encirclement and interception from the sky depends on whether this illusion is powerless - I don't know if the effective height range of this illusion can cover their figures.

"Ugh!"

Sheena, who was speeding away, stopped suddenly, turned her body and avoided to the side, and the next second. A beam of light that gathered extremely high energy landed on Sheena's original position, directly blasting a crater out of the mountain and stirring up snow. Drenched Sheena and Vlad.

"Damn! it's coming so fast!"

This is not a covering-style random shot, Sheena just now clearly felt that there was a killing force locked on the body of the killing machine. Only then did he discover the elemental energy condensed behind him in time...... Otherwise, the beam attacks with almost the speed of light. Sheena didn't think she could outpace the light.

This is an attack that is almost impossible to dodge once it is issued, and Sheena realizes this. Put away all the contempt, and take the possible attack with a solemn attitude.

However, after that, there was no second or third wave of attacks.

"Why...... Don't continue to attack?" "Sheena didn't dare to relax at all, carefully observing the surroundings. However, apart from the hideous pit in front of her, Hina didn't find any enemies...... She pricked up her ears, carefully discerning the sounds around her, and finally, almost a thousand meters away from herself, she spotted the whereabouts of the Celestials.

It seems that these celestial people have also entered the illusion - it's good to come in. The previous attack, now that I think about it, it was probably because they were on the edge of the illusion at that time, so they could see themselves, right? However, once they entered this illusion, it was difficult to get out.

Because of Aisha's arrangement, this fantasy is actually only fixed in the corresponding height range, but it affects not only the sensory perception of the people who step into it, but also the subtle disorder of the space here. If you can't find the patterns and flaws in it, you will never be able to get out of it, and you can't get out of it no matter how you move in an infinite Mebius belt.

"Tsk, aren't you alone?"

Sheena was a little disappointed to find that these Celestial Realm people who broke into it were not left alone, but all gathered together, probably because they also discovered the danger and mystery in their own situation, right? This made Sheena feel very tricky - she was an assassin, no matter how good her swordsmanship was, and her ability to face it was very strong, she was still an assassin after all. In the face of an enemy who is not as strong as himself, he can still use the legendary berserker method of dual-wielding plate axes, but if the enemy has considerable strength, it will be death.

Hina, who had been plotted once before, knew very well how troublesome the armament in the hands of these celestial people was. Maybe the strength of their ontology is very average, but the unique technical equipment of the people of the heavenly realm and the combat power they exert are, in Hina's opinion, even more difficult than the average level of people on earth.

High-altitude superiority is the first, good space mobility is the second, low-consumption and high-firepower weapons are the third, and absolute range superiority is the fourth--Sheena does not have Luna's ability to shoot the power of anti-aircraft missiles with bows and arrows, and she must choose to retreat in the face of multiple well-armed Celestials.

However, blindly avoiding it is not the way to go...... But the problem now is that if the opposite side is not alone, she will not be able to separate them and kill them individually. While they succeed in attacking, they will inevitably be exposed to the fire of their companions.

The peculiarities of the weapons and equipment of the Celestials. This makes it difficult for Sheena to take the means of quickly hiding after the raid.

"Maybe my question will be a little offensive...... Do you celestial people have any weaknesses in their armament?"

It's a matter of life. Sheena didn't care if it was appropriate to ask such a question.

However, Vlad's answer was a big surprise to Sheena......

"If you were to ask about our country, I could write a paper of more than 10,000 words to Miss Sheena, detailing the various issues in it...... However, the equipment used by these guys, I can already confirm in previous contacts, is to exceed the current level of our country, close to the level of two generations. I'm not sure at all about the drawbacks of past series. Will it still appear on these more advanced weapons and equipment?"

After all, Vlad's mother, Carly, is engaged in military scientific research, and Vlad, who has been exposed to it since childhood, is also half an expert in this area. Because of this, he felt great pressure from the armament of those who attacked him.

That's not a matter of being a generation ahead, these enemies are armed with more than their own country's projects that are still under development! Otherwise, it would be impossible for the other party to wipe out all of his subordinates with only five people...... The gap cannot be bridged by the so-called technology and quantity. In front of them, the "elite" brought by Vlad was like an unarmed little brat, powerless to fight back!

"If I give the wrong information. When the time comes, Miss Sheena, who is based on this, may die because of this!"

"That's right...... I understand. ”

It's really troublesome—Hina painstakingly pulls out her usual weapon. In front of him was covered with a large ...... This made Vlad look stunned because of the weapon that Sheena took out of the storage prop. The number and variety are a bit large.

"These things ......"

"It's all my usual weapons, and I think they'll all be useful in a while, so I'm going to take them all out. ”

Hina counted the number of weapons she had brought with her...... You can equip a ten-person squad, right? From long weapons such as guns and halberds, to short weapons such as swords, to throwing knives, javelins, and a series of uh-throwing weapons, there are everything, among which Vlad also saw some "tough" weapons similar to meteor hammers and maces, which are very incompatible with beautiful girls like Sheena.

"Miss Sheena, what are you doing here?"

"Count the number of weapons, otherwise it will be troublesome if there are more or less in a while......" Seeing that Vlad still didn't understand, Sheena didn't continue, so she simply used her actual actions to answer Vlad's doubts.

But before that, Sheena had to put Vlad aside.

"Don't block my shadow for a while. ”

"Huh?"

Vlad didn't quite understand what Sheena meant, but he consciously complied with it. He adjusted his body and leaned against the rock, struggling to move to the side, so that Sheena would not be blocked by himself because of her own movements.

Soon, Vlad saw what was almost inconceivable for him.

"Shadow ...... Shadow!?"

From Sheena's shadow, several black figures "crawled" one after another - their height and figure were exactly the same as Sheena's, but they were pitch black from head to toe, without even a trace of superfluous transitional color, including the outline, showing a pure pitch black that would only be revealed after swallowing the light.

That's where the light can't reach...... That's the so-called "shadow".

"Ten at a time, it's still a bit difficult. ”

When Hina waited until the tenth "Shadow" appeared, she couldn't help but slip and almost collapsed on the snow. Splitting up ten Shadow Masters is also a burdensome act for Sheena.

"What is this?"

Seeing the ten, as tough as soldiers lined up behind Heena, Vlad felt that his common sense was a little insufficient. He had also heard in the past that there were many mysterious powers in the earthly world that were difficult to explain, and many of them were difficult to connect with magic. This time, he finally understood why many ambitious Celestial Tycoons were interested in the earthly world. I've always been so vigilant and careful.

"That's one of the ways I press the bottom of the box. Although tired, Hina's face was filled with an excited and confident smile - in essence. Sheena is still a young man, and she still has a desire to express herself subconsciously. Although Hina doesn't usually express herself much, it is impossible to mention this unprecedented achievement she has accomplished, and to say that she does not have a little pride in her heart.

"Among the techniques handed down from the past, the breakthrough that I have completed by myself - this is it! From the 'Shadow Warrior' of the chicken ribs, the 'Shadow Master' who has evolved from the chicken ribs!"

"Shadow Master?"

"Uh-huh~ Don't look at them as just a black shadow, but they can give full play to my strength and skills 100% perfectly, and they can almost be equated with a perfect copy of all my attributes! This is what Mu Ne's stupid 'shadow warrior' can't compare! The shadow warrior can only do some simple attack actions, and the ability to resist attacks is poor......"

Under Sheena's control. The ten shadow masters took up their weapons from the ground and armed themselves. Soon, the weapons all over the ground were "divided", and ten heavily armed shadow masters stood side by side, the natural sense of oppression brought by the shadows made Vlad feel a little depressed and dull in his chest.

"And the 'Shadow Master' I developed not only has the above-mentioned advantages, but also overcomes the Achilles' heel of the original Shadow Warrior's brittle paper......!

Only two Shadow Masters were seen. Picking up the weapons in their hands, they slammed each other into each other's bodies - and with two dull noises, Vlad saw two Shadow Masters, each under a deadly attack that would kill a normal person. But it was like it was fine, just a slight shake of the body......

"The ability of these shadow masters to resist blows is still above me. At least three times as many as the Cheng dù!"

Vlad looked at Sheena's bumpy body, and his face couldn't help but blush—the delicate body of a beautiful girl. It's really hard to drink the "ability to resist hits" to associate it...... Moreover, it's so easy to make people want to be crooked!

Fortunately. Sheena, who was immersed in excitement and pride, did not notice that Vlad was strange at this time.

However, Vlad soon realized one thing - not only did he have near-complete combat power, but he was also at least three times stronger than his main body in terms of resistance to attacks, and he could summon multiple ...... How is it possible that such a "convenient" and powerful skill does not have negative effects!?

Noticing that the sweat on Sheena's forehead couldn't stop dripping, Vlad hesitated for a while, but finally didn't say those words - this girl has done this, why should she say those useless words?

Fools can see that Sheena, this girl, is not a delicate and weak woman, and if she really wants to say that, it is too hypocritical.

"By the way, you said before that they killed all your men, right?"

"That's right...... Come to think of it, they don't have the habit of keeping their mouths alive......"

Vlad's expression suddenly dimmed, although his attitude towards his subordinates was not very gentle, but he was not a cold-blooded person after all, how could he say that he had no feelings for the death of his subordinates?

"Then I'll kill them all, don't you have any objections?Or are you the kind of person who likes to take revenge yourself? If so, then I'll probably have to be a little busier......"

"No, Miss Sheena doesn't have to do that, just kill them...... As for the enmity of my subordinates, after I return to the Heavenly Realm, I will naturally find the mastermind behind these bastards and settle the accounts together. ”

Vlad clenched his fists, and there was a "Caracalla" sound at his joints.

"Hey, hey, watch your movements...... Don't get too excited. ”

"Uh, okay......" Remembering Sheena's warning to herself, Vlad quickly stopped venting his anger.

However, at this time, he suddenly felt as if his body was imprisoned by some force...... Although this feeling passed in the blink of an eye, Vlad was sure that he did have that feeling in that moment.

[I always feel ...... It seems that the skeleton of the whole body has been squeezed?] (To be continued......)
