24. In progress(2)
"Io!"
The situation on the field reversed so quickly that Lin was suddenly stunned - one second they were still calculating each other, and the next moment Ai Ou was seized by the other party and slashed away with a sword, judging from the amount of bleeding, no matter how you think about it, it can be regarded as a super terrible situation, right?
[Cold, calm! At this time, if you mess up, you'll really be finished! If you lose your fighting spirit in battle, it's basically no different from death!]
At the moment, Io doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, and his combat ability is basically negligible, facing an enemy who can instantly output tons of damage to Io, a hard encounter is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg - Lin estimated the gap between herself and the other party, and came up with a rather pessimistic result.
[First of all, remove all those miscellaneous irrelevant thoughts from your brain!] Calm down, calm down...... If you carefully summarize the information you have obtained before, you may have some eyebrows. 】
Maybe it's because Lin's own combat power is really not enough, or maybe it's because the opponent consumed a lot of energy in the previous offensive and defensive battles - in short, after knocking down Io, the other party didn't make up for Lin in the first place. Maybe she will move her head after she relaxes her breath, but now this short respite is not only a respite for the other party, but also for herself!
[First of all, the blow she gave to Io just now...... That's right, that should be the ability she showed before, before she dodged Io's attack by swapping positions with her own sword, and this method shows that her mastery of spatial ability is limited to the extent of swapping positions with something, otherwise she would have been killed a long time ago...... Yes, the attack just now should be that she swapped the position of the arrow that she and Io had just left the string!But considering the time and place of her last attack, it can probably be inferred that some of the limitations of this ability should be the distance, right? No, if it's just a matter of distance, then she should actually be able to ...... when Io shoots the enchanted arrow What was the special circumstance at that time?...... That's right! At that time, her eyes were always on Io, no! It was Io's arrows! In fact, the limit of her ability to activate that ability was the line of sight and a period of preparation time!Because of the need for line of sight, it reflected the situation that it could not be activated at too long a distance - she couldn't see it!]
[The second thing to be careful about is her ability to "predict the future"!, but I've already tested it, and her ability is not so much "predicting the future" as "predicting the future that will cause death", and the time she can predict is very short!...... Judging from her current performance, the burden of this ability should be very large, otherwise a battle-hardened warrior would never let an enemy personnel take a breath first, ......right?
[In other cases, I don't know if there are any special abilities that have not been shown, but it is certain that the other party's explosive power, speed and other basic attributes are very good, although the strength is a little worse, but its agility can completely make up for this deficiency - probably the type of "thief", right......? But the most terrifying thing is the insight she finds in Iona's suffocating series of sniping. Especially at the end of the day, when I thought the victory was sealed, she seized the gap of a few tenths of a second and turned the situation around in an instant...... This person, in the battle with her, must not make any mistakes and mistakes!]
[The most terrible enemy is not an enemy whose strength is stronger than his own, but an enemy who will not make mistakes! This feeling is like a game between national players, and the mental consumption is more terrible than the physical consumption!]
[Now, my only advantage is that I know a lot of the opponent's hole cards, and she doesn't know anything about my hole cards - even if my hole cards are actually rubbish, but as long as the cards are facing down, I still have a certain advantage!
[A calculating and thoughtful enemy like the other party was originally very terrifying, but now this has become my chance! The more people who think about it, the more they dare not fight a battle that they are not sure of!]
[And the hole cards I have now, what kind of cards can I play......]
[The most important thing is that the trump card I used to turn the tables, where is it......]
========
==
After the blow was successful, Kaede gasped for air.
In that short offensive and defensive battle, life and death were decided between lightning and fire, and Kaede's mental consumption could be said to be quite huge - coupled with the excessive use of the ability of "Yaksha", Kaede's mental overdraft was very serious now, and the situation could be said to be very bad.
Fortunately, there is only one real main combatant on the other side, and the rest of the one, just from the breath induction, you can know that she has not systematically exercised as a martial artist, and the aura of magic is also very weak, and her strength is almost negligible...... What's more, judging from the appearance, the age is only eleven or twelve years old.
Although Kaede now really wants to make up for the guy who drew the cold arrow, but at the moment his state is extremely bad, the other party still has a person who can act, even if it seems that he is powerless, but Kaede still does not dare to act rashly - simply recover his physical strength and energy first, and then the response depends on the changes on the field.
[However, at this age...... It should be about the same size as the leaf, right?Why does it appear here?]
Judging from the ability that Lin has embodied, it can be said that it is the category of dragging oil bottles, and Kaede could never have imagined that such a child would appear when he was on such a dangerous mission. Even because of the other party's age and appearance, Kaede thought of his sister for a while and looked in a trance for a while-but after thinking about it, his hands were already full of blood at this age, and Kaede couldn't help but start to be secretly vigilant again.
[At this time, it is the time when she hesitates! She must be the first to deter her now, so that she will subconsciously throw a mouse bogey and dare not act rashly...... But this first blow must be strong enough for her to threaten, and not show that I don't have enough confidence on my side, with my current ability......]
After secretly practicing it three times in her mind, Lin grabbed an enchanted arrow as fast as she could, and stabbed the arrow into the back of her hand in Kaede's surprised gaze - and then, Kaede's sense of crisis saved her again, and the blazing waves of fire almost swept through her hair.
[What is this!?There are no traces of casting spells or movements at all!]
Kaede secretly moved backwards to a relatively safe distance, shocked by what had just happened.
【Destructive Power...... It's very strong, although it's an elemental attack similar to magic, but there is no trace of releasing magic at all, and maybe it has nothing to do with magic - in this way, I am seriously lacking in information about her methods, and I can't act rashly. 】
After estimating the destructive power of the blow just now, Kaede also understood that the little Lori in front of him, who looked weak, actually had the means to kill himself - but on the other hand, the other party obviously also threw a mouse trap on his side, and then did not make a follow-up attack.
[It seems that after I showed those abilities, she was not absolutely sure that she would kill me, and she was obviously very careful to guard against my sudden attack, indicating that she herself lacked the means to survive my attack.] 】
[From the sporadic fragments just now, the only information I can draw is that the other party's cultivation in the traditional sense is very average-but considering the attack with unknown principles, it is almost certain that she specializes in a certain secret method, right......?
Kaede, who is also proficient in secret methods, understands that the biggest danger of these secret methods with unknown principles is not that they have strange effects, but that they have vainly guessed the opponent's ability in the face of the ability shown by the other party...... But in this way, the initiative is almost entirely in the hands of the other party.
"Troublesome ......"
Despite her exhaustion, Kaede forced herself to cheer up.
......
[Very good, the first deterrent attack is still effective, but it's a pity, there are still ...... such attacks left]
Lin forced herself to suppress the urge to clench her fist to relieve the pain from her right hand, and it was completely impossible for Lin to make that level of attack with her own ability, so Lin chose a very risky method - to directly contact her flesh and blood with the enchanted arrow with her own traces, and use her own blood to forcibly analyze the elements of the "arrow" and make a rune "engraved" on her right hand. By fusing into Lynn's runes such as "Acceleration" and "Fire", Lin could even restore Io's attacks - regardless of hit accuracy. However, this defect was not a problem for Lynn at close range, and she was better at shooting at a higher frequency because she did not need to pull the bow and wind it.
It's just that because Lin herself forcibly obtained the rune of "arrow" by "letting the body remember", it will inevitably consume her physical strength when using it, if you simply use the "arrow" rune, although it is a burden on Lin, it can also survive, but after being forced to fuse into other runes, Lin's current physique can't withstand multiple attacks at all - beyond a certain limit, the first thing to explode is her own right hand.
[But no matter what, at least this gamble is still successful, as long as I keep my attention, even if she can cut off my head with a sword, with the guidance of the spiritual imprint, I can shoot her through!]
This is one of the hole cards that Lynn keeps after the most deaf, and she has to make sure that she has the ability to shoot a shot no matter what the situation - although I believe that Io is not in a big deal, but obviously that sword is enough for her to choke, in case she is forced to work hard before she recovers to save herself, she will have to pull a cushion on her back when she dies!
[Okay, next, you have to think about how to deal with the other party's attack - with her ability, it's really impossible to prevent it...... Fortunately, judging from the situation just now, it seems that her ability to "predict the fate of death" is not activated for the time being. Hmm, this is an opportunity......]
