“...... Miss Sheena?"
Vlad hesitated for a long time before he mustered up the courage and tentatively asked Heena, "Your body has a lot of blood...... Are you alright?"
"Ah, normal. ”
Now Sheena, on her body, constantly burst open large and small wounds, although the amount of bleeding from each wound is not large, but the amount of blood slowly oozing out has also become quite terrifying because of the number of wounds - the clothes she is wearing are almost soaked with blood. At this moment, Hina basically lost the strength to continue standing, and sat on the ground quite wolfly, panting with her back against the rock wall...... But her face did not show any pain or panic.
"If I split two or three Shadow Masters, I can still hold on, but ten will be a great burden on my body. Now there are three Shadow Masters, who have been annihilated, so they will be fed back to me on a certain basis...... It's just a little blood, and it's out of the way. ”
Where is this "out of the way" Cheng dù!
Now Hina has a few cracks on her face, although there is no feeling of blurred flesh and blood, but looking at such a beautiful girl, there are hideous wounds on her face, it is still difficult to accept...... Not to mention, under the cover of clothes, I don't know how many wounds there will be on Shena's body!
The blood has already flowed to the ground!
"What kind of eyes are you...... If I say don't get in the way, that's out of the way. ”
Seeing Vlad's eyes on her was really unbearable for Sheena (being stared at by a man with such an "affectionate" gaze or something), Sheena could only take out a bottle of translucent potion with purple glow.
"It's a real problem...... This medicine is very expensive. ”
Sheena pulled out the cap and placed the purple potion in the tube. Drink a third of it.
Soon, in Vlad's stunned gaze. The wounds on the exposed parts of Sheena's body healed at a rate visible to the naked eye. And her face, which had been pale from blood loss, had regained its color—if it weren't for the blood that still remained on Sheena's face, Vlad would have almost thought that it was his own hallucination!
"See, I have the means to protect myself, stupid. ”
Vlad's stunned look obviously made Sheena very useful.
"Only...... Just drink a bottle of potion, and the wound on your body will be healed directly!?"
This undoubtedly made it difficult for Vlad, who had lived in the Celestial Realm since he was a child, to accept such a development, where potions could basically only be used to treat diseases, and such treatments as quickly healing physical wounds and even producing effects such as replenishing lost blood. Again, you have to rely on those life-support devices and life-repair equipment.
If Sheena used some kind of magic, the mysterious magic that can bring the dead back to life with a flash of golden light, Vlad would be much easier to accept. It is precisely because of the feeling of "potion" that it is also common in the heavenly realm, and compared to the two, it seems that the potional in Shena's hand is so incredible.
"Are all the potions in the earthly world so magical!?"
"How is that possible!" Hearing this, Hina couldn't help but smile bitterly, "I'll tell you the truth." The bottle of fast-acting potion I am holding now is quite an expensive treasure, and even if the average rich person wants to get it, it will be difficult for them to do so. The price of the market is its current situation. ”
"Is the yield low......
"Of course, this high-grade potion is enough to make a person with only one breath left at a critical time. In an instant, it became a lively tiger. Such a powerful medicinal effect can only be produced by those masters who are proficient in alchemy and apothecary. In a nutshell. You can think of it as an extension of magic~"
Sheena said that she wasn't very proficient in magic, so it shouldn't upset the alchemists, right? Uttering the argument that alchemy is a vassal of magic, he almost didn't blast the alchemists out of the guild with sticks.
"To show you, my small sip is as expensive as (9) gold coins!Alas, although the income has been quite good in the recent period, I can't afford to waste it......"
Is it a waste? Vlad doesn't think it's a waste. After all, isn't that a good cure for Shena's injuries?
Just as Vlad was wondering, he saw another wound open on Sheena's forehead.
"Another one has been wiped out. Hina looked at her blood-stained sideburns with some distress, "It's not the way to go on like this, the strength of the enemy is unexpectedly violent, and this has already lost four Shadow Masters." According to this calculation, only the four shadow masters can exchange each other for one person...... It seems like it's going to be a bit difficult to finish at the end, right?"
==============
"Old ...... The boss is also dead......"
"Calm down! Don't be like that dead man! Don't forget jì, that guy was killed just now because his nerves were too tight and too scared - calm down, those black monsters are not invincible, they can be destroyed!"
The remaining squad of three people, at this moment, there was another attrition. And this time, it was none other than the squad leader with the strongest comprehensive strength who was removed from the list of the living.
It is estimated that the captain of the squad who is blind to death can't imagine that the strongest and most alert self will make the next victim, right? However, in Sheena's opinion, this is really a simple multiple-choice question - because the enemy whose mind has been dominated by fear is the best entry point.
The half-"keen intuition" just became the captain's talisman.
He was able to sense the imminent danger, which should have been an extremely advantageous condition for a warrior, but instead of seizing this opportunity because of his own psychological factors, he allowed the fear to grow in his heart but did not want to overcome it...... In the eyes of these shadow masters summoned by Sheena. This man seems to be the most powerful and the most agile. But it is also one of the most deadly vulnerabilities, and it is very easy to start.
Because of his way of thinking, his thinking circuit. Under the influence of fear, it is already very easy to predict, and his next move, under the guidance of purpose, is completely unwittingly into the "trap". Although in order to drive him to his death, Sheena paid the price of four shadow masters...... But the harvest is still acceptable.
After all, there is a world of difference between the output methods of the two sides.
Sheena was an Assassin who was known for her agility and agility in her combat style, which favored a one-hit kill...... To put it bluntly, what she is good at is the art of killing a person.
And these celestial people are different. In Sheena's opinion, although magicians can achieve similar effects, in terms of love efficiency, it is heaven and earth. They don't need to chant, they don't need to cast spells, and with the movement of their fingers, they can unleash attacks that rival the lethality of superior magic.
Sheena had already experimented with the "unpretentious" looking beams that could knock a Shadow Master out of action with just one shot - and the Shadow Master's ability to resist hits. Sheena is very confident.
What if this attack fell on Sheena herself...... Once you hit the vital point, you can't be saved, right? Maybe with those powerful magic items with strong anti-magic properties, you can block such an attack, but it's a pity. Sheena didn't.
Fortunately, Sheena has also mastered skills such as "Shadow Master", which are somewhat cheating in nature.
According to Vlad, the combat power that these celestial people have, but in terms of personal armament. He was two ranks ahead, and Sheena originally thought that ten shadow masters should be able to meet the needs. However, when these celestial people became serious, she found out. It's not as simple as you think.
The combat methods of these Celestial Realm people are really a bit bullying in terms of configuration for most of the combatants in their own world.
First of all, they can fly, and they can fly with considerable flexibility, moving up and down, left and right, avoiding any big fireballs and ice picks, which is completely no problem - this alone makes most of the fighters within an effective combat radius of ten meters stare dryly.
Secondly, they also have a fairly solid magical defense. Presumably because the Celestials' technology is largely based on elemental energy, their armor defense seems to be very focused on this aspect of defense...... But on the other hand, in terms of dealing with powerlessness, under Sheena's test, he did not lag behind and formed a short board. Looking thin "steel armor", Hina used an attack that was enough to pierce through an ordinary city wall, but it didn't work, and she lost a shadow master in vain.
These two points alone have already made their opponents suffer - isn't this equivalent to a big turtle that can fly and be nimble? It has the advantages of high defense and high speed at the same time, and it can fly, which is really too bad!
In such a configuration, what about the attack means with high firepower with ultra-long range?
The weapons of these celestial people, after the test of Shena's blood, can be roughly summarized as follows: long range, strong destructiveness, wide coverage, and convenient launch conditions.
So it's a deliberate effort not to let anyone else play, right!?
How much Sheena regretted that she didn't become a mage in the first place, otherwise she could have just thrown a few dissociation rays to teach those guys to be human beings now. As an assassin, she is a "weak woman" who is more embarrassed in attack and has a very brittle body, if it weren't for the conditions, she had to bite the bullet, and Sheena really didn't want to face these celestial people, because it was too painful.
Until now, none of the three Celestial Realm people who have been killed can be regarded as "frontal killing" by Sheena. The first two are taking advantage of the opportunity that the other party has not yet become vigilant, and the first strike is stronger, and the two cities are the first to be assassinated. And the squad leader after that, strictly speaking, was also the result of Sheena inducing his thoughts and actions.
Without grasping the loopholes and flaws in each other's psychology, Sheena really doesn't have the confidence to take the lead in killing them before the muzzle of these guys shoots a beam.
And now, after the two captains of the Celestial Realm were also killed, the psychology of the two surviving people has fallen into full alert. If Sheena hadn't lost the four Shadow Masters before this, maybe they would have fallen into a state of being dominated by fear now, but the problem is. It is because of the four shadow masters who were killed that they were in the hearts of these two people. There is no sense of despair that you can't do anything but close your eyes and wait for death.
It's not the same as the squad leader who was half driven crazy by himself. The remaining two, though also in fear, did not lose the will to fight - because, those black monsters, as the confinement confirmed, could be killed!
As long as they cooperate tacitly, relying on high-performance weapons and equipment, they are not afraid of those black monsters with primitive means.
"Take two pictures of the captain's body, or you'll be embarrassed to go back - I'll cover for you." ”
If sufficient evidence is not given. God knows what he'll think of when he goes back...... Although it is inevitable that people will be despised in the future, it is better than being regarded as a murderer of the plotter.
Trying their best to endure the churning discomfort of their stomachs, the two took several pictures of the tragic condition of the squad leader's corpse - even if they were murderous outlaws, it was difficult for them to accept the scene of someone they knew being coldly killed.
"Those black monsters, it's really scary. ”
The two of them still had lingering palpitations, and they hadn't thought about it before, at the height of what they thought was safe. It was this negligence that someone jumped up and killed him by jumping up and killing him, even when facing an enemy who seemed to have been exposed and had no long-range weapons to threaten him. The squad leader was smashed in the head by a shadow master with a clean jump.
Well, a jump jump from a height of 30 meters on flat ground...... By the way. But the Shadow Master was holding the hammer of the second of the Berserker's three artifacts.
They subconsciously regard the shadow master who has this ability to examine questions as a kind of "monster". They didn't move closer to "people" at all. But it's normal to think so, and Sheena can easily jump thirty meters high. This kind of ability is rare even among humans who smash the earthly world. And like Sheena, who doesn't need any vindictive energy and magic leakage, and can achieve this effect silently, it is even rarer.
After all, how could an Assassin make such a big move?
"Be careful and keep enough height. ”
"But isn't this area impossible to get out because of the abnormal distortion of space? ”
The previous events have proved that there seems to be no point in covering the fire here - they don't understand the specific principle of it, but the facts they see with the naked eye tell them that even if all the petite land is plowed in theory, those elusive black monsters will still attack them and others as if nothing happened. The only effective way to do this is to disperse them head-on as they attack and break out of the shadows.
In other words, if you want to remove the threat of these strange dark shadow-like monsters, you have to face their threat directly. If the squad leader hadn't killed himself because of his uncontrollable feelings, they might have tried it again, but now, these courages have been completely wiped out by the squad leader's death.
Well, even though they don't have the same trait as "courage" in the first place.
"Then turn on the function that is still in the nature of yàn - I don't want to stay in this place anymore anyway. ”
"Hey, we have this function on our equipment...... Wait!What are you doing!?Don't ...... Ahh
With a terrible scream, the two arms fell weakly from the air with blood splattering out. The Celestial who had his arm cut off never thought that it was not those dangerous black monsters that attacked him, but this life-dependent teammate!
"It's really troublesome that when you die, you become invalid. ”
After cutting off the other party's two sets of arms, which was equivalent to removing the other party's "armament", the man carried his companion, who was about to faint from pain, opened a folding plate on his armor chest, and kept tapping on several buttons inside.
"You, what are you doing......"
"Lift the self-detonation program. Did you know that inside our armor, a quantum bomb with a stable nature was placed? It's set to self-detonate to activate, and if the user's own life stops, the quantum bomb will automatically deactivate - so now I have to make sure you're still alive. ”
Otherwise, wouldn't it be more direct to kill the matter?
"Why...... Why would I not know!?"
"You should ask—why do I know? The gloomy Celestial man finished setting up the detonation program. He fled quickly in the horizontal direction, and in desperation, he was set up to explode a human bomb. I even found that I still couldn't even control the flight. It can only rise at a slow pace.
"No, I don't want to die...... I don't want to die here!"
......
A moment later, a huge fireball appeared in the sky of the snow-capped mountains. The powerful energy even tore through the chaotic spatial interference, directly tearing open a "hole" in the sky above the illusion.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Celestial Realm who survived in the end hurried out of the escape path that had been opened by relying on the "sacrifice" of his teammates. Leave this area full of dangers.
"Well, it seems that this function is very stable, I didn't find any problems, it should be able to be put into practical use, right?"
Looking at the effect of the actual detonation with satisfaction, the last celestial man was just about to leave, but he only saw a purple-haired girl suddenly appear in front of his eyes...... Then his consciousness sank into darkness.
"It's miserable. It's too late to find out!"
Aisha grabbed the Celestial Man by the collar of the Celestial who had been knocked unconscious by herself, and looked at the hole in the torn illusion, and the whole person was unhappy - this illusion was a part of her arrangement, which was used to disrupt the space on the "throat of the world". Reduce the transparency and hide the reality of what is happening in it!
Now that such a hole has been torn open is equivalent to throwing a stone in a calm pool. The "ripples" produced are so obvious that they are enough for people from a long distance to notice the abnormality!
Aisha who is busy. She didn't even notice what was going on in the area, until Aisha realized something was wrong. The quantum bomb had already opened a hole, and even though Aisha was hurrying to close the loophole, she didn't dare to guarantee how many people would notice the abnormality in the short period of time.
Forget about other situations, but if the gods of the divine realm "accidentally" learn about the situation here, how would it be! Aisha's identity determines that she can't clash with those important characters in this era, and if it really leads to those troublesome gods......
Aisha even had the intention of killing.
She endured this thought and looked at the culprit who had been subdued by herself......
"Huh, celestials?"
The armor of that body is still very recognizable.
"Forget it, let Kelly and the others take care of it, it's great to ask NONO for her opinion again. Aisha decisively gave up her plan to delve into the celestial man, judging from the messy personal aura of the other person, it seems that she is not a kind person...... In this way, Aisha didn't bother to bother with him.
The wicked have their own grinding, if Kelly is a decent person...... Then let NONO do it. 、
=================
“...... Well, although there is a feeling of powerlessness in the cotton punch, it is always good to not be injured again, and it is better not to be too greedy. ”
From the perspective of the shadow master, Hina, who saw the situation in the sky clearly, was also quite speechless for such a development - she still thought how difficult it would be for the remaining two celestial people to deal with, but she never thought that at the moment of the great enemy, the other party not only did not want to share weal and pain, but thought about how to sell his teammates.
When Sheena saw that the last person was about to leave, although she couldn't do it, she really wanted to beat that disgusting guy directly. Although the others are not good people, there is no doubt that the guys who do evil deeds that harm others and benefit themselves at critical moments are undoubtedly more disgusting.
Fortunately, he didn't expect that his behavior of blowing up the environment would directly lead to Aisha, right?
Hina still remembers when she first met Aisha, but several people were beaten on the ground together, and she knew that she could figure out the details of this mysterious woman's power now. Not to mention one person, even if those five Celestial Realm people went up together, Hina didn't think that the other party could win.
"Miss Sheena, what's going on outside?" Vlad asked nervously, "I just heard a loud explosion in the sky......
"There's infighting, and then it's all gone—that's probably it, isn't it?"
In Aisha's hands. In a sense, it's no different from being dead...... Hina knows more or less about it. Aisha's attitude towards her opponents is very good. It's based on whether the other person's character is good or not - it's for this reason that she was initially let go by Aisha.
It may sound "stupid", but Sheena knows that Aisha is able to do so because she has the power to ignore the threat. She doesn't have to worry about the hidden danger of "letting the tiger return to the mountain" at all, for this person, in fact, most enemies can't be regarded as "tigers", right?
Considering the character of this celestial person, Sheena will end up with him. Don't get your hopes up.
"Are they all dead?"
Vlad was incredulous. The powerful enemy who chased them before and had no way into the sky and no way to enter the earth was completely wiped out so quickly? This is too unreal!
"That's good news for us!" Hina smiled as she stood up in pain...... It's great not to have to get hurt. ”
Looking at Sheena's blood-soaked clothes, Vlad thought so. Letting the beautiful woman suffer such pain and injury, in Vlad's opinion, is really his own fault. If it weren't for him, there would be no need for this beautiful girl to do this, right? Luckily, Sheena had that magic potion. Otherwise, with such scars on Sheena's face and body, he might have to feel guilty for the rest of his life......
Well, in Sheena's heart. I probably didn't expect such guilt at all.
"The crisis is over~ Next, you wait patiently for a while, waiting for your body to recover. Let's go up to my companions. Don't you also want to look for compatriots who stay here, and you just happen to be along the way~"
"Compatriots? This statement is really a bit surprising......"
At the time of the celestial realm. It is impossible for two people from countries that are almost hostile, especially one who is the head of an official army and the other who is a prince who wields real power, to use the term "compatriots" in any case, right?
"What's wrong?"
"I and the leader of the Celestial Realm here belong to two hostile countries in the Celestial Realm......
"But when you were in trouble, didn't you also think of this place first? In addition to the idea of seeking refuge and protection, you may not have the intention of passing on some news to them, right? So, don't you subconsciously trust the celestial people here...... It seems that their credibility and reputation in the Heavenly Realm should be good?"
"It should ...... Isn't that good?"
If there is an opportunity and room for choice, I believe that the vast majority of customers will want to hire Kelly's corps. There is no other reason, the strength is excellent, the reputation is good, with these two advantages, it is difficult for Kelly not to do big business in the heavenly realm...... Besides, she still has the support of the state behind her, and she has no difficulties in making a living, which can be assumed according to Kelly's personal thoughts and likes and dislikes.
It's not so much that Vlad trusts Kelly's corps, but that, based on rumors in the heavenly realm, he has a lot of trust in Kelly, right? Aside from the factors of national politics, there should be nothing to doubt in terms of personality.
"Isn't that good?"
"Huh?"
Vlad didn't understand why Sheena would suddenly throw such a sentence.
"I thought you were a gloomy fellow, but I didn't expect you to be very open-minded on this kind of issue—well, in that case, as a future king, you may not be a good ......."
"What are you talking about?"
"I mean—you're unexpectedly a man with unnecessary sensuality. If I'm not mistaken, the cultivation of your character should be in a family that is relatively lacking in the care of elders, right?" Hina looked at Vlad's eyes, so that he had no leisure time to hide the feelings in his pupils, "That kind of subconscious desire to be coquettish, to seek love, is difficult to hide~"
These words directly made Vlad almost spurt out a mouthful of old blood.
- Self...... Coquetry......
Wait, why does it seem to be right when you dig deeper? Come to think of it, Miss Sheena, isn't she the kind of gentle and steady sister character he wants to be older?
Tsk, could it be that the reason why I have such a good impression of this girl is because she gave herself a feeling of "sister", so she can't help but integrate into the role of "younger brother"?
Suddenly I feel like I'm scary!
"Even if these are true...... But it's not suitable to be a king or something......"
"Prince Vlad~ Please tell you the truth - do you have the idea of desperately wanting to replace your father?"
“...... Even if I had that thought, it didn't really make sense. My father, the king, didn't really want me to inherit it. ”
"Don't take the topic away~"
“......”
Stared at by Sheena's smiling eyes, Vlad could only sigh in the end - could it be that he was really restrained by the other party? Vlad found that his usual talent for "acting" was completely useless.
"I don't think much of that. ”
Vlad's mother has enough real power in her own right, even if Vlad fails to compete for the throne, he who inherits his mother's inheritance is also not his brother who will become the king in the future, and he can fish and meat at will. It is precisely because there is no pressure to survive, and Vlad can't say that he likes it, but he is not very interested in the position of the king, which finally makes his enthusiasm for the throne probably the weakest of all the princes, right?
It would have been nice if my father had this idea, but if he didn't...... It's not that bad, is it?
After all, his mother is a big capitalist or something...... Vlad, who has been exposed to it for a long time, knows very well that the position of king is not so easy to do, so taboo-free.
"By the way, your personality should be biased towards your mother, right?" asked Hina suddenly, "You look like you have inherited more of your mother's characteristics on your face......
"Huh?" (To be continued......)
