11. Torture is in progress
Frankly, the world wasn't very friendly to Lynn. I don't know for what reason, the peaceful skills that Lin is good at have been greatly suppressed here, but those that are used to hurt people's lives can still be used freely.
Because of the soul-related aspects that Lin is proficient in, the means used to kill and injure the enemy are not very harmonious. In addition to the most basic means of mental shock, many offensive skills are more difficult to control than the lethality of elemental magic. It is precisely for this reason that Lin really doesn't like these powerful offensive skills very much—it makes Lin feel that she is very dark.
But for a group of demons dressed in human skin, Lin didn't have any hesitation, compared to the so-called torture of the eighteen layers of hell, her own tricks are really nothing, aren't they?
Therefore, Lynn can drive the evil spirits that she usually does not want to see, to bite and devour those who have rotted from the roots. The evil spirits under Lynn's control are not ordinary ghosts and undead, even non-physical energy can be swallowed, no wonder these guys who want to trouble her deliberately prepare such an inexhaustible "feast".
Lin's restraining power over these evil spirits is honestly still lacking, and this time, with such a bait that exudes the desire to attract them to eat all the time, Lin can no longer control these evil spirits and let them accurately attack the target of her choice. But for Lynn, it wasn't unacceptable either—the ugly monster could be seen just by looking at its image. The combat strength is definitely not low, and Lin is also very satisfied that such a terrible and troublesome big guy can temporarily lose his combat effectiveness...... The other party definitely put a lot of thought into this monster. But those evil spirits are not Lynn's own tricks to press the bottom of the box.
"It's stupid, do you think that when you get close to the battle, I'll have to wait for it?"
Su Qiaoqiao only saw that in front of her eyes, there seemed to be a silver arc flashing, and before her head could understand, she had already heard a painful and angry scream from behind her.
A muscular one. The big man, whose eyes were full of fierce light, looked behind him in disbelief - a few meters away, half of his body had already fallen to the ground weakly. ...... Looks familiar? In the moment before his consciousness dissipated, he finally understood that the half of his body was his own.
Relying on inertia. The upper half of the strong man's body slid out of a distance of nearly five meters before hitting the ground. Before he landed, the strong man's soul consciousness had been burned clean by the offensive and corrosive aura.
The other attackers, witnessing this, stopped their hands and feet almost simultaneously. The strong man died too quickly, and what made people feel frightened was that the upper body of the corpse that was cut off by the waist was still more than ten meters away from Lin and Su Qiaoqiao...... Nearly twenty meters away. At the moment when the strong man had just taken his steps, ready to attack with great acceleration. Lynn fought back at the same time.
The difference is that the moment Lynn attacks is also the time when the attack actually works.
"W-what kind of witchcraft is this!?"
Someone cried out in panic, but in exchange for a contemptuous sneer from "Lynn".
"Sorcery? No, I'm not an intellectual-minded mage...... Compared with complex and mysterious techniques, slashing people with real knives and guns is what I'm better at. ”
Su Qiaoqiao found that although the image of "Lin" presented in front of him has not changed fundamentally, the temperament of the whole person is qualitatively different. If Lin before gave people the feeling of a "magician" who grasped the battle situation with a calm and calm attitude, then now she is a brave and radical warrior.
"Lynn, you...... No, you're not Lynn!"
"Oh, this keen intuition is really unusual for beginners, little miss~", now "Lin", there seems to be an extra male frivolity in her words, "Actually, we've already met, don't be so afraid, Qiaoqiao." ”
Have you met her yourself?
Su Qiaoqiao was confused for a while, and suddenly came to her senses: "Ah! You, are you ...... Mochi?"
Lin said that her race is half-human and half-spirit, and the "Rin" in front of her made her feel a knife-like coldness in addition to elegance...... Lynn claims that she is a "person" who symbolizes the side of the "living", so the elegant executioner in front of her is undoubtedly the "spirit" that symbolizes the "dead"?
It's just that it's hard to imagine that the heroic girl in front of her is actually the white steamed bun that was kneaded and pinched by herself before!
How to say it, the previous Lin made Su Qiaoqiao feel very cute and reliable, and now the mochi standing here belongs to the more handsome type...... It's also reliable!
"Who the hell are you!"
The other side also seems to have discovered the abnormality here, after all, the mochi has not done any disguise from beginning to end, and the fighting style and temperament that are completely different from Lin all show that this is no longer the girl just now.
At this moment, they are still "dutiful" in their deep communication with the flesh monster, so that the other party can't pull away for a moment. And the girl in front of her, who has undergone earth-shaking changes, is dangerous, and it seems that she is still above the one in front!
There is no other reason, in this strange girl, the eerie and cold ghost and death aura are wrapped around her like armor, even if they are separated by dozens of meters, they can still make people feel that the exposed skin and flesh seem to be being stripped away from the body in a trace...... The body aches, but the heart is colder!
Mochi is also a bit difficult, you can't say that your name is "mochi", right......? However, after thinking of Lin's casual nonsense lines before, Mochi also had his own ideas.
"I remember it's already introduced, right?" Mochi deliberately made a gesture of disdain, as if he was despising these "scumbags" who couldn't answer the questions even if they had clear answers. "Since 'she' is a 'chaos' between good and evil, I, as the dead, am naturally 'broken', right?"
Mochi small hand shake. The aura gathered in the palm of his hand, and in a moment, it turned into the shape of a two-handed long sword. The moonlight sprinkled in the sky fell on the blade of the sword, and the light refracted made people's eyes hurt.
Just now, Mochi used this prosaic long sword to cut off a strong man twenty meters away with one blow. It's unbelievable. At that time, she was standing in front of Su Qiaoqiao, but the strong man she killed was twenty meters behind Su Qiaoqiao. Between the two, there was such a big living person as Su Qiaoqiao - however, from beginning to end, Mochi's feet never left the same place half a step.
- How did this man kill the enemy? Those who came to besiege Su Qiaoqiao and Lin. Cold sweat left on his forehead.
"Although you are enemies, I still have to remind you - when I was alive, I didn't like to kill people, and I didn't like to kill, but I did kill people, and after I died, I didn't have much opportunity to kill, and I still didn't like to kill, but I did kill people. But it's much more powerful than when I was alive......"
"Don't listen to her nonsense!
That ontology is not here, but it should be the voice of the "leader" status. It rang again. The uneasiness in his heart was no longer vaguely hidden in the bottom of his heart, but completely floated up! The feeling of danger that came from this little girl even made him feel a deep chill when he was hiding in the shadows.
"You know what happened to the traitor!"
This sentence broke the silence and oppressive atmosphere, and the few people who hesitated, hearing this, roared loudly as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and used all their strength...... But while they made such a "helpless move", they also consciously did not choose to use their bodies to break through. An idiot has proven how foolish it is to try to get close to this seemingly weak girl.
For a moment, flames and thunder flew together, and from time to time there were two solid and icy ice picks. Of course, the special abilities of the elements are relatively bad, but there are also strong and weak - Lin has not seen the overall level with her own eyes, but these attackers have done quite well in terms of the "quality" of the attack. The destructive power contained in its attacks is actually not weaker than the destructive power of the high-level elemental magic that ordinary magicians can cast in the world where Mochi is located.
"It's useless. ”
Even the evil spirits controlled by Lin have special abilities that can devour pure energy, and it is not a difficult thing for Lin's half body, the mochi that wanders in the yang world in the form of a half-spirit.
For more than two years, Mochi basically has no chance for her to make a move, and most of the time, she is playing a full-time white steamed bun half-ling. But in fact, what she is good at is swordsmanship, but she has not regressed at all, and she has not fallen behind.
In the past, Mochi's swordsmanship was developed by herself during her adventures, and the main direction was to fight huge beasts and monsters. The wide opening and closing, fiery enthusiasm, can make people feel that the mochi himself with a sword in his hand is like a battering ram that is not urging or urging.
And after becoming Lynn's half-spirit, what she deals with every day is no longer those huge monsters, but illusory and unpredictable ghosts. But for mochi, whose swordsmanship has already entered the house, such an environment may not be impossible to practice and sharpen...... The difference is nothing more than refining the body in the past and refining the heart now.
If today's mochi returns to the world where she was when she was alive, I believe that no one will associate her with her past self, because in terms of swordsmanship style, there are too many differences.
As she herself said, even if she didn't take the initiative to delve into this aspect, her swordsmanship was inevitably very handy on the way to "killing". Or to put it another way, the swordsmanship, which is originally a killing technique, has almost no rivals in the hands of the half-spirit of Mochi, and on the side of taking people's lives.
It's just as simple to take the "life" of other things.
"Our attack...... It was cut off?"
"Where is the slashing and slashing? The ice pick, which had condensed into substance, was grazed by the edge of her sword. It was directly broken down into spiritual power...... It's not scientific!"
"Isn't it boring for the living to show off their killing skills in front of the dead? That's probably it......"
Mochi waved the long sword in his hand unhurriedly and slowly drew a circle. With her movements, the moonlight refracted on the blade also circled and diffused. This light, condensed but not dispersed, almost made everyone present unable to open their eyes...... It's just moonlight! Even more dazzling!
"This moonlight sprinkled on the blade of the sword is the last thing you see in this world!"
......
There aren't any earth-shattering sound effects. Nor was there any compelling destruction.
Su Qiaoqiao only saw the figure of the mochi, and it became blurry in front of her for a moment, and then the qiē in her vision was swallowed by the skyrocketing moonlight. I don't know how long it took. Maybe just for a moment. Maybe it's been a long time, and the moonlight that almost stunned Su Qiaoqiao suddenly distorted.
A small and slender white and tender hand tore open the dazzling moonlight and pressed it on Su Qiaoqiao's head. With an abrupt suddenness, it seemed that the moment was frozen into eternal moonlight, and it was also shattered.
"Don't look at it, it's a murderous trick. Nothing to look at. ”
"But it's beautiful......"
"No matter how beautiful it is, it's not for you, if you're obsessed with this kind of thing. Maybe Lin will 'punish' me - please, it's a bad show~"
Poor gigs?
Su Qiaoqiao couldn't help laughing—before her vision blurred, she saw the moment when the mochi was dancing in the moonlight, closing her eyes and dancing the sword. Su Qiaoqiao didn't know what swordsmanship was, but she only knew that if it was a "dance", even if it was a murderous dance, it was ten times more beautiful than all the dances she had seen in the past.
Perhaps, it is precisely because this is a deadly dance that takes people's lives that it is so attractive and deeply immersive. Can't help yourself?
Su Qiaoqiao couldn't feel it anymore, and there was still the breath of other living creatures at the scene.
Not only those who tried to outflank him, but even the large, ugly and hideous monster was robbed of its life under the sword of the mochi that wielded the blazing moonlight. The monster that has lost its vitality and has been completely reduced to a dead thing, and the high-speed regeneration speed is no longer there, and it will be eaten by the evil spirits in an instant, and there is not even the dregs left.
...... No, there is still a piece of "wreckage" that has not been eaten.
"It can't be!"
The voice that is neither male nor female, at this moment has completely lost its previous calmness, if you want to describe it, the word "defeated dog" is very suitable for him - when it is smooth sailing, all kinds of sorrows, and when it comes to adversity, all kinds of ugliness are revealed, so some people who think they are superior are the same, to put it bluntly, that is.
"With my secret method, the integrated monster should have an infinite vitality......!
"Endless?" Mochi couldn't help but take a sip when he heard this, expressing deep disdain, "Everything has an end from the beginning again, how did you have the courage to call that ugly meat ball 'with endless vitality'?
Compared with Lynn, Mochi is even more disgusted with this kind of self-righteousness, wantonly playing with the dregs of the life and death of so-called "mortals". If he was really born a high-minded race, then it would be fine, but he was obviously just an ordinary human in the past. Now that he has gained power, he is busy "saying goodbye" to the past one, and even doing everything he can to belittle and hurt the camp he was in in the past...... Forgetting one's roots to this kind of process is indeed no longer qualified to be called "human".
Of course, it will never be a "great being" that surpasses human beings.
"It's okay! I just failed this time...... Next time, I'll be sure to find a ...... that can completely defeat you Your way!"
It looks like it's still a bit enterprising~
But the mochi won't sigh at this time, and this kind of scum actually has a little bit of a faint flash.
"Next time?" The smile on Mochi's face was no longer the confident smile with a slight hint of frivolity, but more of a pure and gentle type closer to Lynn...... However, even Su Qiaoqiao, who was on the side, could feel that the same expression, made by mochi, was completely different from what Lin wanted to express!
And mochi is also a perfect interpretation of Su Qiaoqiao's guess......
"Quack——!!!
The mochi suddenly unstruck his sword, and in an instant it pierced through the small evil and strange mass of flesh, causing the terrible screams of the non-male and non-female voice.
"When did you have the illusion that you would have another chance?"
"You...... You soulless!"
That voice, even the last trace of easy love, has been completely lost, completely like a lost dog, full of madness and despair.
Su Qiaoqiao knew that this was probably because the other party's body, which was far away and out of nowhere, was affected by the attack of the mochi, right? Perhaps, it was not just as simple as "affected", judging from the desperate atmosphere in the other party's voice, it was not good......
"As I said, you can understand me as 'ruin', something that comes from the destruction of the root - a despicable and weak thing like you is not within my comprehension, as long as I want to kill you and destroy you, no matter where you hide, no matter what defense you make, it is useless...... It's useless, it's useless, it's useless, it's useless!"
Mochi draws his sword back.
The last remaining lump of flesh shattered - without making a sound. (To be continued......)
