124. Friendship and trust
"Sister Sheena, why don't you let me take the lead next?" In a way, the enemy in front of him is actually classified as dead—they have abandoned their own freedom and thrown themselves into the manipulation of darkness, and in this regard, it is no longer their own soul that occupies the main body of their bodies.
But these have become "puppets"
The combat power that erupted after the complete sinking at the cost of the freedom of the soul, at the cost of the freedom of the soul, was extremely terrifying.
Now the few "aliens" on the opposite side who can't see the human appearance clearly
, the dark power displayed in the body is more than one or two times stronger than the previous ones they used with their human bodies - not only the quantity, but also the "quality"
There are vastly different changes.
"It's supposed to be almost the same dark as its main body...... If I rely on the Elven Sacred Scriptures, I should be able to resist it. ”
In the face of this situation, this kind of enemy, Lilu also did not dare to let Sheena take the lead, although Sheena's experience and ability in combat are better than herself, but Sheena is a human after all, even if the black magic issued by the other party before, she will try to avoid its edge, if you accidentally fall into such an attack...... "If I really do this, you will definitely die." ”
Sheena unceremoniously dismantled Lilou's reckless move: "You've just inherited the Elven Sacred Text, right? If you could really use it like Miss Luna, that poor Celestial wouldn't have been transformed into an Elven Woman by your life energy...... I'm sorry, but in fact, I really can't put such a heavy burden on you alone. ”
During the confrontation, Sheena also noticed that the Shadow Masters, who were previously almost immune to dark magic.
Now it is already a little difficult to maintain the body - the vicious fluctuations emanating from the bodies of those court mages after they have turned into aliens.
It has even begun to affect these Shadow Masters...... After all, they are not living beings that actually exist.
Its existence in the form of zài is incomparable to that of normal creatures.
Although the nature of the shadows makes them excellent in terms of resistance to blows, they are not invincible.
The powerful elemental energy weapons of the Celestial Realm can destroy the Shadow Masters, and similarly, the dark aura and energy that are rare in the world like the present can easily destroy the structure of the Shadow Masters and cause them to collapse on their own.
"Don't underestimate me...... I said that. No one ever said that an assassin would have to learn the skill of stabbing people in the back. ”
With a wave of her hand, Sheena made contact with the Shadow Master who was on alert - if she continued to maintain the Shadow Master now, the cost would not be proportional to what she gained.
"But, Sister Sheena, if you're hit by their attacks......"
"It's a very tricky dark force, but no matter how strong it is, it doesn't make sense if you can't beat me. ”
Is she trying to rely on her superior speed to evade enemy attacks?
Lilou thought that Sheena was too reckless to do this—maybe it was okay to do so before, but no one said it.
After these court mages are alienated, their attack methods are still the same as before!
"Lilou, I'll give you a chance to attack. Your strength is the key to breaking them down - so don't waste it on defending me. Gather your spirit and seize the opportunity, I don't think I will have the energy to divide it out for a while, and I will give you a hint...... Whether it's a chance or not, you can judge for yourself, no problem, right?"
“...... Then you be careful. ”
At this time, there are not many opportunities to inkblot - the few aliens in front of me, after realizing that the enemy did not take the initiative to attack.
It was decided that they would be the first to start the battle.
A moment of "peace"
Broken in an instant, Sheena didn't say anything more.
Lifting one long and one short, two weapons rushed forward.
Rush head-on!
?
Lilou was frightened by Sheena's actions, because Sheena was not just rushing head-on at the enemy's face.
It's just a face to the opponent's attack!
?
"Be careful!"
The attack methods of the aliens on the opposite side can no longer see any of the graceful posture of the mages - waving their tentacles, splashing black and dirty "liquid" in front of them
No matter how you look at it, it looks more like a beast that acts on instinct...... However, it wasn't anything like a whisper of cuttlefish's ink, it just looked like a liquid, but in fact, it was a semi-materialized "turbidity" made up of extremely vicious dark magic, mixed with all kinds of negative thoughts
Something of a kind.
As long as it is touched, without sufficient means of protection, it is estimated that in an instant, the whole person will be corrupted from the inside out and become a slave of darkness.
If it is not possible to corrode the mind in the first place, then it will be the human * who will be destroyed.
Hina didn't pause, not even thinking about avoiding it - she still rushed straight towards the first wave of firepower, and before the black filth touched her body, her right hand shook, and a dark sword slashed out from the long sword, abruptly splitting the same black wave of filth.
“...... Shadows?"
Although it was very different from the previous appearance, Lilu understood in an instant what means Sheena used to tear apart the other party's offensive - it was the previous shadow masters!
Although these shadows quickly fell apart under the erosion of darkness, just over a second was enough for Sheena to break through the opponent's firepower blockade.
And with Lilu's understanding of Sheena, she also immediately thought of the reason why Sheena made such a dangerous and risky move without an example and attempt as soon as she came up.
- Because if you do that, you will undoubtedly make the enemy on guard!
Now Sheena can easily break through the opponent's offensive, because the opponent has not raised all her strength, and under the all-out offensive, Sheena may not be able to do this, and once she is wary of Shena's ability, there is no doubt that Sheena will be more difficult to have a chance to shoot.
So now...... What a great opportunity!
At the moment before Sheena's torn rift and reunited, Lilou also followed closely behind Sheena, breaking through this line of defense and pointing directly at the enemy who did not react at all!
Capturing the power and speed of the sprint, Lilou leaps into the air.
In a dangerous way that is quite vulnerable to counterattacks, the killing blow of this assault is unleashed - no special tricks, just simple moves to bring out the most destructive power.
Lilu Fly Kick!
What if the alien, aware of the impending danger, urgently attacked Lilu?
A hasty attack.
In the face of the power of the Elven Sacred Text, which can inflict a certain restraining effect on it, the effect is almost negligible - the burning hot and vigorous life energy on Lilu's outstretched right foot tore through the fragile darkness in front of her in an instant, and slammed it on the opponent's head.
- If that organ with tentacles, no eyes, a mouth with three rows of teeth, is still a head...... Even if it's a purely physical impact.
It can kick a human head to pieces a ripe pomegranate, and when Lilu incorporates extremely aggressive energy into it, the destructive power of a moment is tantamount to a high-yield bomb exploding at zero distance.
The Xenomorph's body flew upside down - and at the same time it flew upside down, its body fell apart at the same time.
Turned into dust.
Lilou glanced back at Sheena, who had also taken a bloody shot there.
The dagger that Lilu had previously strengthened for Sheena was undoubtedly in use at this moment...... It turns out that even though they have been alienated into monsters, these guys still have the characteristics of living beings, and they have been "deprived of life" in Lilut
Under the attack of the dagger of the special effect, the alien who was stabbed in the head by Sheena with a knife.
It was only a few convulsions, and there was no movement.
In the next second, Sheena disappeared from Lilou's sight.
Then, she only felt her body being pushed by a force, and she was rapidly retreating backwards uncontrollably.
"Don't get distracted, you little fool. ”
Hina glanced helplessly at the elf girl in her arms - what should I say about her?
In the midst of this battle, the child was still distracted, and his attention was on his side...... If she hadn't taken Lilu in time, Lilu would have been hit by three attacks.
Even if Lilou's power could theoretically restrain this dark force, it was the other way around.
No, that means if the dark forces completely overwhelm Lilou's side.
Will Lilou be doomed too?
After all, the two forces that are so different in phase have suppressed each other.
It's really normal.
Sheena didn't dare to bet on whether Lilou would be able to resist the attack unharmed.
"Hey, hey......"
Lilou scratched her head in embarrassment - she couldn't say that she felt a little proud because of the simultaneous and tacit attack between the two of them, so she was distracted, right?
After all, being able to do this shows that she and Sheena can be regarded as a heart-to-heart connection, which is a symbol of close friends, isn't it?
"We caught them by surprise just now, and then trying to replicate this success will definitely not work. ”
Hina doesn't know if these aliens have feelings now, but the IQ is definitely still there...... In other words, the most basic instincts of living beings, they must have.
"But at least we've cut them by two......, haven't we?
"No, if you can measure their combat effectiveness by numbers alone, then it will be easy to do. ”
Unlike Lilu, Sheena's face didn't show much relief now, "We're just reducing the likelihood of being attacked now, but it doesn't mean that it will be easier for us to defeat each other - have you noticed? The strength of these guys is slowly increasing over time......
Lilou's face immediately became solemn.
It took less than a minute to go before and after, but Lilu could feel that the remaining three aliens had improved by about 30% compared to before...... Is it because ...... "Oh no, could it be that they are absorbing the negative thoughts of humanity and strengthening them?"
After realizing this, Lilu was a little anxious on the spot - if the other party was allowed to drag on the time, wouldn't it not be long before she would grow into an evil individual with extremely terrifying powers?
These aliens have long since lost the sanity of human beings, and have become chaotic-like individuals, and they no longer have the limitations of life in their spirits...... That is to say, the magnitude of their magnitude by absorbing the negative thoughts of human beings will be capped at a very distant value...... "Calm down, don't be impatient." ”
Sheena waved her hand to stop Lilou, who was a little aggressive.
Ultimately.
Lilou's experience is still a little lacking, and in the face of this situation, she is still somewhat affected by the negative mental interference of the other party.
Let the nervous and impatient psychology have a tendency to emerge.
"Know yourself and know your enemy. It is one thing to be able to recognize the severity of the situation, but it is another thing to be in a state of disarray and to be taken advantage of by the anxious heart. ”
Sheena's first lesson in becoming an Assassin was to restrain her impatience and nervousness.
If you do something, the probability of success is only one percent, and people who are nervous and restless.
All that can be seen is always a 99 percent probability of failure.
Only by overcoming this mentality, calming down, and looking for the negligible chance of winning with all his heart and soul can he have a chance to find the one percent possibility.
Although it is undeniable that the reason why the Assassins were able to defeat the strong again and again, and kill targets stronger than themselves, there is a zài called "despicable"
A series of behaviors such as sneak attacks, poisoning, etc., all seem to be real and "above board"
Can't catch up.
However, relying only on the use of underhanded tricks.
Bully the "weak" who don't meet the standards
It's okay, those strong people who have entered the house expect to be able to work with these alone...... Basically impossible.
can succeed.
That's not called "insidious"
, not called "despicable"
That's what you should call a cunning man.
Successful assassins, without exception, are people who know how to spot opportunities, take advantage of them, and seize them.
This is why, under the same conditions, the Assassins who are surrounded and ambushed have a better chance of escaping than the rest of the population - because they basically have only two endings - or find a chance of survival.
Either that, or die halfway through the search for a chance to survive.
"Lilou. You have to remember, compared to these guys. Your advantage isn't in strength – it's on this side, and on this side. ”
Hina pointed to two parts of her body, one on her forehead and the other on her left chest.
"A cool head, a tough heart, these are the two prerequisites for using and exerting power, and this will not change at any time. Without these two decisive conditions, no matter how powerful they are, they are at best a rather frightening looking silver-like pewter spear head, which is actually useless. ”
“...... I understand. ”
Lilou wasn't stupid, or rather, she wasn't a person of undetermined mind.
As an elven sentinel, the assessment of will is undoubtedly very important, and there is no need to question that Lilou can become one of them.
It's just that the power of the enemy he faced this time has the ability to interfere with the mind, and Lilou is indeed wary of it.
So, under an omission, there was still a gap in the heart, so that the anxious heart found an opportunity to take advantage of.
"I forgot about it, I still have two advantages...... No, three. ”
"What's the third?"
"Of course it's Sister Sheena!"
Lilou rightfully said the answer that made Hina a blush: "Isn't friendship and trust between people more precious than the two points of mind and heart?"
“...... Fight monsters seriously!"
Sheena blushed a little and avoided Lilu's clear gaze - she sometimes wondered if Lilu, the elf Lori, was particularly good at gaining the favor of others.
Sheena didn't know how much influence Lilou's almost defenseless and pure posture had on women, but as a man by nature, she couldn't bear the lethality of this little elf.
If it weren't for her being a staunch sister party, maybe she would have fallen long ago?
It's also the first time Sheena has maintained a female posture for so long - in fact, with her and Lilou's current relationship and friendship, there's nothing wrong with showing her true identity.
It's just that Sheena really doesn't want to let Lilou know that she has been deceived when she is about to leave the world she grew up in.
Simply, keep doing this lie to the end, right?
Sheena doesn't have any male possession of Lilou*, and she doesn't continue to "get closer"
The meaning of the distance with this elf Lori is ...... So, keep it up like this, so that Lilou only remembers that she used to have a same-sex friend named Sheena, and nothing else.
Isn't it good to be so simple?
"Yes! Let's work together again - get these monsters back where they are supposed to be!"
[...... "we"
Is it?
Sheena uses this word in battle.
It was actually quite strange - because she was an assassin and a family member who had lost her family.
A lone assassin.
Let's not talk about life for the time being, even when she is working and fighting, she is also with "companions"
This concept has nothing to do with it.
The Assassins would never have taken on work that required the participation of multiple peers unless necessary.
Even if I have worked with people a few times, but "fighting side by side"
What kind of feeling it is, Sheena really hasn't experienced it carefully.
But now, there is an unexpected surge of enthusiasm in my heart that is completely different from calmness.
It's not the same as impatience, it's not the same as anger.
It is a passion that makes you feel that your whole body is full of warmth and power.
[Is this the feeling of friendship?]
Seriously, this is the first time that in the process of fighting, there is a lack of loneliness, right?
...... No, maybe it's not the first time......] The previous time I rescued Lilou and Io, it was probably a similar situation?
Maybe it was because I didn't realize it at the time, or maybe it was the impact that I brought to my heart that was not as strong as this time?
None of this is easy to say.
But this mood must not be deceiving.
"That's right, our strengths. It's not just two. ”
It must be the first time to fight with such a mood, right?
- In short, Sheena felt herself.
It seems that there is nothing left to worry about and fear.
With such friends around her who are willing to entrust their hearts and souls to fight with her, Hina feels that if she still uses revenge as a premise, she will fight to the death against these culprits who killed her sister's life...... Not only is I sorry for my sister who longs for me to stay away from strife from now on, but I also disappoint Lilu, isn't it?
[Yes...... Didn't I let the anger in my heart find a chance?
Fight with such an opponent with hatred...... Well, I don't seem to be qualified to educate Lilou.
"These two girls, all of a sudden, have changed?"
Outside the Magic Crystallization Prison, Skasa suppresses the dark power inside and does not spread outward.
Suddenly, I found that whether it was a human girl or an elf girl.
The aura on his body has undergone subtle changes from before.
The somewhat restless tension in the elf girl.
First it was suppressed, and then, the anger generated by the human girl because of the old hatred also quickly subsided.
Seriously, the negative feelings of these two girls in this battle are far from the level that will affect their fighting—the advantage they hold is very great in Skasa's opinion.
Firm minds, exquisite skills, there are no shortcomings and deficiencies in force, and there is also tacit cooperation and trust between them, and at the same time, the dark power that hits people's hearts has no effect on them...... Scarza really couldn't figure out how to lose this kind of game!
But in this case, they can still adjust the shortcomings in their mentality...... "It is impossible to reflect and fine-tune their own hearts in a short period of time by themselves." In other words, they understand each other and discover their own shortcomings in time?"
How much trust does this have to be to do this?
After all, people have a blind attitude towards themselves - if you want to deny yourself and accept the opinions of others, this is not just a self-introspective attitude, the condition of opening your heart is based on the premise of trust.
"If it's two humans or two elves, that's fine, but one human, one elf......"
No matter how you look at this, it has to be the trust that can only be possessed by childhood sweethearts who have cultivated relationships together since childhood, right?
Normally, this is true - but who made the personalities of Sheena and Lilu like this, similar and complementary?
Maybe...... It's a pity that they haven't met until now?
(To be continued) ps: Yesterday the school's DNS blew up, I'm really poi......
