27. Divine soldiers descend from heaven!
"Something is wrong! This ...... What's going on with this weirdly oppressive feeling?"
Kilometers away from the intense fire, Luna still felt the weight that had been building up in her heart all the time. Without thinking much about it, Luna immediately unfolded the Elven Sacred Scripture and spread its power to the ground that had long been scorched in front of her.
This sudden coercion caused a great reaction from the Elven Sacred Codex, and Luna did not dare to take it lightly. No matter what it was, but since it could make the Elven Sacred Scripture react so strongly, it should be understood without much thought that it must be some kind of extremely evil negative thing.
"Didn't you say you could see what was going on over there with Lilou, and how was it now?"
"I can't see ......," NONO looked into the distance with a solemn expression, "the area where Lilu used to be is now blocked by an unknown means! I've tried to change five different detection modes, but none of them worked. ”
Very thoroughly, maybe all means of detection from the "outside world" will be blocked from the outside?
"How so?"
The power of the Elven Sacred Book continued to seep into the earth, and in the scorched earth, which had become charred and the land covered by flames, it began to burst out with new power—green sprouts, stretching out their limbs from the scorched earth, spreading the fresh emerald green they carried to this fiery red land. Under the offensive of this rich vitality, stubborn flames. Gradually, it was swallowed up by green.
The realm of flames is fading almost at a speed visible to the naked eye.
But. Luna overdrew her body, unleashing the immense power of the Elven Tome, which directly overwhelmed her body.
"What are you doing? Stop, your body ......"
"No, since the Holy Scriptures have reacted to that evil force, it means that the Holy Scriptures are essentially powerful. I don't know what happened to Lilu and the others, but I can't rule out the possibility that they are in danger, right? What I'm doing here, maybe, can put a little pressure on that guy!"
Whether it's Lilou or Io, for Luna. None of them can have an accident!
"But. I can see that your vibrations are decreasing......"
"As long as you can't die, you can always get up again. ”
Luna's huge vitality far surpassed that of other elves, and she could withstand her willful actions at this time—she had estimated that even if she really wanted to use the power of the elven holy book to suppress the unknown evil being, she would not drain all her vitality.
At most, a month in bed!
“...... Then be careful. If you don't have the strength for a while, there's no one to help hold you up. ”
"You...... Are you leaving?"
I'd love to ask NONO for help. But Luna didn't say anything in the end - NONO was not an inhabitant of the earthly world, and she was from the heavenly realm, and Luna was already happy not to be hostile to them. After all, NONO helped her once before, and NONO didn't owe her anything, so there's really no reason to speak.
"That's right. NONO ADJUSTED HER WINGS A LITTLE, AND WHAT SHE WAS GOING TO DO NEXT REALLY DIDN'T MAKE NONO FEEL VERY GOOD IN HER OWN HEART, "I'LL GO AHEAD AND EXPLORE THE WAY." ”
......
"Sheena, what now?"
Although she was a little unwilling, Lilou had to admit that Sheena had a lot more experience than herself. Faced with the situation in front of her, Lilou was at a loss for what to do. Io's body is now occupied by unknown strange creatures, and most importantly, she can't handle Io's body at all.
The only consolation is that Io's consciousness must still exist - otherwise, the guy in front of him should have completely controlled the whole of this body, and would not have been unable to express a complete and coherent sentence...... Sheena said that this may be because the function of the brain's language center has not yet been controlled by the other party. In this case, it also shows that Io's brain, Io's consciousness, has not actually fallen.
That's the way it goes......
But what if the other side attacks?
"Don't act rashly, you're in a hurry, but she may be more anxious than you. ”
Sheena's gaze was fixed on "Io", and the feeling she brought to Hina was somewhat similar to the mysterious girl she had encountered before, who was hanging and beating five people on her side...... What exactly is similar, Xina can't say for a while, but one thing is for sure - that is, compared to the girl who looks decent and atmospheric all over her body, the enemy in front of her almost everywhere reveals a yin and evil aura.
In short, it will definitely not be a good man and a woman!
Moreover, Hina noticed that there is a faint power in "Io", which seems to express "resistance" and "resistance" to Lilu...... The Stalker has a strong ability to observe details such as breath, and Lilu herself may just feel that the other party makes her very uncomfortable, but Sheena knows that what is faintly opposite to her is the kind of power with strong vitality that Lilu later obtained.
So, is it likely that Io's transformation happened after Lilou "rose from death to live"?
"Lilou, let me meet her first-how about you sweep for me on the side?"
Hina was a little worried about whether there was some kind of strange connection between "Io" and Lilou...... If Lily showed her hand to test it, it wouldn't be fun if it caused some resonance or something.
"Well, okay...... Good. ”
Lilou didn't really want to fight "Io", even though she knew that it wasn't the real Io, but she was still somewhat resistant to attacking Io's body. Now, since Sheena has offered to test it, she will tempt it. Lilou is also receptive to ...... Of course, she also has a limit, if Sheena is going to be threatened. Lilou will never be negative any longer.
"Very well, then let me see what you are capable of......"
In the face of such an enemy who does not know the details and can't let go of his hands and feet to fight in a sense, Hina did not take a fierce attack at the beginning, and the consistent trustworthy speed, Hina did not take it out. An offensive that unleashes at the speed of a swift wind and thunder. It doesn't fit the current situation.
What Hina adopted was a slow approach, a step-by-step approach.
For both sides such a Cheng dù of the strong. The distance in the middle is actually not a limit at all. As long as Sheena is willing, this distance of more than fifty meters can be crossed in the blink of an eye. But it doesn't make much sense. Because for the enemy who occupied Io's body, Hina's rush speed was also not a problem that required full vigilance to deal with.
Sheena doesn't treat the enemy in front of her like a normal life. Spells that can occupy other people's bodies, many mages also know, but now it is the princess of the elf clan who is occupied! With this premise, how can you think that the other party is a monster outside of common sense.
Recklessness is not a no-go.
Although it is very inconsistent with Sheena's usual way of fighting, now, Sheena can only adopt this kind of combat style similar to the infantry phalanx. While approaching each other. Sheena herself is also accumulating strength and momentum - if it is a normal battle, now Sheena's opponent. has been completely placed under the oppression of Shena's aura.
But the enemy in front of Hina now is simply something outside of common sense.
I saw "Io", and she did the same thing as Sheena - she also took the same steps, step by step in the direction of Sheena. Her strength and momentum are accumulating, and although she started a little later than Sheena, "Io" soon reached almost the same level as Sheena.
Hina realized that something was wrong, and if she did this, it would be her who was at a disadvantage - and Hina didn't expect that this enemy, who was of unknown origin and strength, would do the same thing as herself. But on the other hand, if you face the blade like this, you must have a lot of confidence in the frontal close combat!
Can't put it off any longer!
Hina made a decision immediately, directly ending this process of accumulating momentum and strength, and suddenly increased her speed to the limit, and the whole person turned into a silver streamer, attacking in the direction of "Io"!
However, "Io"'s reaction really surprised Sheena.
"Huh!?"
Sheena's attack was actually blocked, and to her shock, the other party did not use other means, but used the same attack method as her-the same speed-up, the same fast as a streamer attack, when the blade in Hina's hand collided head-on with the two ice blades condensed by "Io" with the elements, she immediately understood that this was the way she was used to attacking.
The other party actually has the same score?
Sheena has been able to get to this point, in addition to her outstanding talent, ten years of hard work is the most important thing. For each of her attack moves, Hina has been tempered a lot, and after repeated attempts and drills, she has discarded a redundant part, leaving only the most direct, effective and deadly movements.
Therefore, in her previous battles with people, some enemies who should have been on a par with her (although they have long since reached the level of Sheena) will always lose to Sheena by a fraction of a second - because Sheena's attacks have fewer unnecessary small movements than them, and naturally, they are half a point faster than them.
Sheena, who has worked hard in this regard, has a clear grasp of every detail of her attack moves, how can she not recognize that what "Io" is now using to intercept her own means is her own attack moves?
In battle, it is normal to take the same judgment and attack method as the opponent, but if even the details and habits of the opponent's movements are "copied" the same, this is very unscientific!
Sheena felt almost like she was in the mirror!
[That's right...... Just now, she seems to have used Lilou's attack to fight back...... Could it be ......]
Sheena suddenly realized something, and stabbed her backhand sword into her waist - a sharp blade. On the spot, a shallow wound was cut on Shena's waist.
"Io's" movements, at the same time, there was a hint of incongruity.
Sheena seized the gap and turned around and punched "Io" in the chest - well. Because the chest is very flat now, there is no need to worry about the consequences of causing any strictness.
"Sheena!?"
"I'm fine, this little injury doesn't affect the fight. ”
Hina adjusted the muscles in her waist and abdomen, but all martial artists, not to mention anything else, tensed some muscles. Stopping some lax wounds from continuing to bleed, there will always be...... It's a must-have course.
"But I know a little bit about this guy - she's 'learning' our tricks. ”
"Learning...... Tricks!?"
Lilou also suddenly thought that "Io" had just used the high-temperature hotline she had just learned to attack her - Io's body did not have fire attributes. That kind of attack has obviously broken through Io's own body.
And the amount of body that erupted from "Io's" frontal block of Hina's attack just now will definitely not be what Io, who has always lived in the palace and has never learned archery or swordsmanship, has.
"She 'copied' Lilou's attack before. I'm a little skeptical. But what I didn't expect was that this guy would be able to learn not only magic, but also weapon skills together...... Didn't she clearly pause when I stabbed myself back just now?"
Sheena's gaze was fixed on the indifferent face of "Io".
"She enveloped me with mental energy, and every movement and detail of my body, even the relaxation and tension of my muscles. Changes in the rhythm of breathing, forces on the joints. I was able to get the feedback through it in the first place, and it was perfect for my skills. I don't quite understand how she managed to change Io's body, but I'm afraid she's already 'copied' my number to Io's, right?"
Otherwise, with Io's body, it would never be possible to bear such a burden.
Lilu's skills have been learned before, and it should be a similar situation - the way Lilu's magic power is mobilized and operated, Lilu's own magic attributes, and Lilu's magic strength are all under the supervision of the other party. When Lilou uses the magic to activate, all the details of this magic are presented to "Io", and there is no secret to speak of.
And Hina stabbed her own sword, and the action was also projected on "Io", but the other party reacted immediately and stopped this self-harming action. But the incongruity of that moment was impossible to hide from Sheena's eyes.
Lilu suddenly felt that the enemy in front of her was like a hedgehog covered in thorns, and it was difficult to attack at all!
It's okay to learn and copy the technique, but even the body's primitives can be copied together...... This ability is too bad, isn't it!?
Although it cannot be said that there is no solution...... But now Lilou can't take it seriously, and make an attack that can kill Io, and without hurting her life, the attack she casts is copied and cracked, which is a simple thing. Even if it is copied and parsed, it can't avoid the attack of cracking, so how can Lilou use it against Io's body!
Sheena is also quite jealous of this.
She was even willing to face that powerful and incredible girl than to fight the current "Io" - this feeling is something that many people have experienced...... I'd rather be bloodily hung and beaten by the gods than be disgusted by high-tech hanging......
What to do?
Is it necessary to retreat strategically? However, it is still a question of whether "Io" is willing to let the two of them leave...... If it really doesn't work, Sheena can only guarantee that Lilou's safety will be the priority.
"Lilou!
Sheena put her arms around Lilu's waist with one hand, and before Lilu could answer, she had already fled backwards with her lithe body.
"Sheena, we ......"
"Do you think Io will be in any danger as she is now? Go back and tell your people about this, and let them find a way...... Uh, won't you let us go!?"
Hina hurriedly used her free right hand to swing her weapon to block, but the difference in strength between the two-handed sword and the single-handed sword was obvious, and Hina's speed was immediately affected by this pursuit, and it slowed down significantly.
Sheena knows. It seems impossible to escape like this. Not to mention anything else, the current "Io" has the speed of his own full force. And he ran away with Lilou in his arms, no matter what he thought, the speed would not be as fast as "Io".
"It's hard to ......"
Do you really want to take that step?
Just as Sheena was struggling, a dazzling light suddenly fell from the sky—different from sunlight. In nature, it felt more like the hot wire attack that Lilou had used before, and the ground touched by the light exploded on the spot, and the energy in it caused an explosion. directly separated "Io" and Sheena.
This attack is very accurately interspersed between himself and "Io", and the power is also very measured...... Is it support?
Sheena immediately judged the attitude of the uninvited guest - nothing else. The meaning of the other party helping himself and Lilu is very clear.
“NONO?”
Lilou looked in amazement at the white girl hovering in the sky, initially because she had eaten NONO's flashbang. Temporary loss of vision. As a result, the posture of NONO in armed mode has not been seen.
But now she can't help but feel a little distracted.
The girl in the sky seems to highlight the color "white" - the tone of NONO's costume is white, and now the armor on her drape is also white, and her hair is even more rarely silvery...... MAYBE WHITE IS NOT A VERY SUITABLE COLOR FOR METAL, BUT ON NONO'S BODY, THERE IS NO INCONSISTENCY.
Because NONO is also a young girl. Isn't it?
For a pure maiden, white is so suitable. Isn't it?
"Is that someone you know?"
HENA ALSO LOOKED AT NONO AT THE SAME TIME, THIS GIRL ALMOST DID NOT HAVE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE ELVES - IN APPEARANCE, THE ELVES DID NOT HAVE THE ICONIC LONG EARS, IN TERMS OF TEMPERAMENT, SHE DID NOT HAVE THE NATURAL TASTE UNIQUE TO THE ELVES, BUT HAD A STRONG SMELL OF STEEL, AND IN TERMS OF THE ABILITY TO APPEAR, SHE WAS CLOSE TO THE TYPE OF CELESTIAL PEOPLE THAT XINA KNEW......
Why are there so many weird guys in the territory of the elves?
The monster-like purple-haired girl who beat herself in all aspects before is forgotten, and now there is a girl whose strength is obviously not low...... Hina suddenly felt that if the commanders of the human alliance and the kings who tried to start the war knew about the situation, they would probably have to hang the head of the intelligence department at the gate of the city.
"NONO, why are you here......"
"Your teacher can't rest assured that she can't come over because she's a little injured, so I'll do it for you. ”
"Teacher, she...... Sister Luna, what's wrong with her?"
"It's not going to hurt your life, you don't have to worry too much. NONO slowly landed between Lilou and Io, blocking Lilou and Sheena behind him, "I didn't expect it to be Her Royal Highness the Princess...... I'll just say, that empress always gives people a subtle sense of incongruity, and she is really hiding something......"
SHEENA AND LILOU BOTH HEARD THE VERY IMPORTANT MESSAGE IN NONO'S WORDS.
- What the Elven Empress has hidden from the public has not been revealed, and this information is precisely the reason for the changes that are taking place in Io.
Aisha didn't tell NONO about this, but she did find some clues through her own observations. The Elven Empress gave NONO a very special sense of incongruity from the very beginning - because NONO is not a "life" in the normal concept, she is more sensitive to the details of communication and interaction between people than ordinary people.
Lilou was amusefully not to delve into the subject. Although she was also very shocked by the burden that NONO had shaken out, the immediate need was not to explore the secrets of the Elven Empress.
"NONO, BE CAREFUL, THIS GUY WILL LEARN TO COPY THE OPPONENT'S ABILITIES AND SKILLS, AS WELL AS THE BODY'S SUZHÌ!"
BEFORE SHE COULD FINISH SPEAKING, NONO RAISED HER RIGHT HAND AND SHOT A BLUE BEAM FROM HER FINGERTIPS—THE SAME ATTACK SHE HAD USED TO COVER LILOU AND THE OTHERS.
This time, however, "Io" dodged the powerful beam and didn't respond with the same attack - NONO had already used it twice in front of her.
"It doesn't seem to be able to be replicated...... Hmph, that's to be expected. ”
NONO doesn't seem surprised by this result.
"She, didn't replicate this attack?"
Sheena was also very surprised, because she was at that time, but she was learned by the other party at the same time as she made a move, and this time, she used the same skill twice in a row, and she didn't use this move to launch a counterattack?
"Would you like to try it?" NONO snapped his finger at the other party defiantly, "I'm also curious, can you copy the 'body element' of a bunch of iron?" (To be continued......)
