Stray Chapter 26: I’m here
"I don't know what you're talking about."
A swordsman wearing a skeleton mask instantly retracts his sword, misses a single hit, and travels thousands of miles away, which is also the most basic quality an assassin must possess.
He said such a sentence in a deep voice, but did not wait for the magician's answer, or the original intention was not to wait for the magician's answer at all, but just wanted to divert the attention of the other party a little.
So decisively, in the next instant, he waved his wide jet-black robe, and the surrounding void seemed to be shrouded in darkness at once, and the pitch-black figure seemed to be about to escape into the void. disappeared immediately.
A rather decisive decision. If the assassination failed, he immediately fled far away, without the slightest hesitation, and without the thought of trying again, thinking that there might be a chance of success.
But this is the most professional assassin... After all, it is a bit reckless to break into the magic workshop and assassinate the magician directly. If the assassination fails obviously, if you insist on continuing to break through the beheading target head-on...
Isn't this really a Berserker?
Although the swordsman is not without other tricks, strictly speaking, he has a very strong hole card, but it is not to that extent... nor should it be.
Not every assassination must be done to kill the fish and the net, and his hole card has only one chance to use, so it must be treated with caution. It does not mean that as long as the assassination fails, then the trump card must be used immediately.
Just—
It is true that swordsmen are very decisive and possess the most basic professional qualities of assassins, instead of relying on their own skills and daring, they want to force a wave, but it is not so simple to be able to leave.
Whether he comes here or not is indeed his business, but whether he can leave or not depends on Xia Ran's mood.
"It's all coming, why rush to leave..."
The magician just chuckled and moved his eyes slightly. It seemed that those cool eyes penetrated all the hypocrisy of the appearance of the world, and could directly point to the essence of things. The veins between heaven and earth were clearly reflected in his eyes. .
Time, space, cause and effect... As if all the visible and invisible myriad phenomena have become a picture scroll, slowly unfolding in his vision, the whole world seems to have no secrets in his eyes.
So even if the swordsman's breath blocking skill has reached the level of A rank, he can almost be invisible in front of his face and can be judged as a stealth action. However, this has no meaning for Xia Ran, even a little confusing him. Can't do it.
His eyes moved slightly following the invisible things in the void, his expression was indifferent and casual, as if he was directly poking his hand to grab something, tugging and tugging——
In the air, a long chain of runes was quickly constructed and outlined, stretched straight, and the end extended into the void hundreds of meters away!
The speed is so fast that it doesn't look like a rune chain that was constructed in an instant, but this chain has always existed here, and it only showed its shape when he directly stretched out his hand and pulled it.
At the moment when he was caught by the rune chain and pulled out neatly by the sudden huge force, a hidden figure suddenly appeared from the emptiness, wearing a pale skeleton mask. Assassin took the initiative to swing the weapon!
The simple big sword in his hand seems to have nothing special, but the indestructible blade seems to be cutting along the established trajectory of death, easily cutting off the light, or devouring it. The light makes the surrounding environment dark in an instant!
The great sword itself is only a C-rank Noble Phantasm, without any special features, but the swordsman has been swung continuously throughout his life, and has been contaminated with the beliefs he has always believed in, and all attacks have the effect of instant death.
Although the probability is low, no matter what kind of target can cause the danger of instant death. Walking in the realm of the secluded valley, this swordsman who is constantly in contact with death is still alive even though he is dead. He can no longer be called life, but has stepped into the realm of nature and phenomena.
This great sword is also the most powerful proof that death is a habit and assimilation to the swordsmen who walk in the valley.
With such a swipe, the rune chain will be cut off! ! ——Theoretically, it should be like this...
—Crack!
The piercing sound of gold and iron clashing erupted, and countless violent sparks burst out of the air. It was like the movement of a thousand-milled steel chain being slashed by a knife and an axe. The rune chain was not directly cleaved by a great sword. Cut off, still stretched straight!
Instead, the great sword was bounced off by the shock and swung high!
“…!!”
This is also beyond the swordsman's expectations, he did not expect such a result at all.
After all, it is reasonable to say that the energy circuit is purely composed of magic power, and then solidified and combined into a magic chain of runes on this basis, in any case, it is impossible to match his great sword in strength!
The next moment, the amazing strength from the rune chain, even if the swordsman who was caught off guard was extremely skilled, it could not change him in mid-air, and he was just in the stagnation of failed moves, so the balance was also Still destroyed at once!
The opposite side directly dragged him over!
The wind whistled in my ears, and the scene in front of me seemed to accelerate in an instant. The magician in the swordsman's field of vision stood quietly opposite, without moving a step from beginning to end, staring calmly at the chain of runes. He grabbed the black-robed swordsman who was pulled over.
Immediately afterwards, in line with a series of people-oriented guiding ideology, such as "everyone is here, everyone who has a new year, everyone is dead", he elegantly and casually stretched out his right hand, as if aiming at the sniper vision The inner object is normal, and he gently lingered with a finger.
A real magic bullet burst out in an instant!
Because the density of magic power is large enough, the curse bullets really have material properties, and the curse bullets close to several times the speed of sound draw a spiral trajectory of death, and the violent friction with the air causes them to glow and heat, forming a visible path to the naked eye. Bokeh rays!
This is the vortex of the shock tearing apart the vacuum!
Like a dazzling meteor streaking across the sky, it just flashes past, and it seems to cut off the space where it passes along the way!
The swordsman wearing the pale-white skull mask sensed a great sense of crisis. He immediately recognized the origin of this most widely used magic—
The so-called "Yin Qi Bomb", also known as "Gandr Strike", originated from the rune magic inherited from northern Europe.
Cursing someone by pointing a finger at someone, destroying their health and reducing the physical ability of the subject, because it is said to be impolite to point a finger at a person, which is why it is called a curse.
Because the main effect is to destroy health and make people weak, it can be said to be a kind of indirect lethal magic, but if the density of magic power is high enough, its power is still comparable to that of bullets...
It is very simple, very versatile, and very convenient, so it is indeed easy to popularize.
But swordsmen have not seen much before, and there are people who use such tricks on themselves in battle.
In the battle of that level, this basic magic formula is meaningless. If he was staring at him, he would basically be unable to survive. If the last resistance is to use low-level magic, not a trump card Hole cards and the like, isn't it self-defeating?
Secondly, he has never seen a magician whose direct lethality is comparable to that of a bullet who uses this magic formula. It can be said that there are very few who have this kind of realm attainments... This is also an important reason.
Like the monster in front of me, it is really unique and unprecedented to use a simple curse magic like "Yin Qi Bomb" directly into the "Finger of Death" to block the killing god!
Don't even talk about the power of the curse contained in the curse bullet, the physical lethality alone is astonishing to the extreme, let alone his assassin, if a giant dragon comes over, his skull will be blown away in an instant. , a finger runs from the forehead to the tip of the tail!
In that case, if you can still die and survive with difficulty, you will have to face the power of the curse that deprives you of vitality and destroys health, like a gangrene attached to the bones... Who can survive?
The assassin's idea is right, because if he takes a curse bullet, it is true that even the great Greek hero who has completed the twelve trials will be killed by one blow. Two lives.
——Demigods and demigods cannot be the same.
——The reason why a magician is still a demigod is because the standard for space evaluation is a diverse worldview. But if you leave out that standard and only use the system of this world as an example...
Most of the gods are nothing to him, and the main **** is like that. There is not much problem in going up to fight directly. If he has fully exerted his basic qualities as a magician and made sufficient preparations in advance, If it is still on its own territory...
It can only be said that he is not pretending to be careless until now, but is really holding such a mentality, wanting to see how the crown assassin's skills are.
When!
The dull bell rang suddenly, and the sound wave filled every inch of space!
It's subconsciously reminiscent of the evening bell ringing at a funeral!
At this critical moment, the swordsman wearing a pale skeleton mask, the blue and secluded flames in his eyes suddenly flourished, illuminating a large area of space around him, like a ghost fire on the other side burning in the world , the raging sea of fire spreads from his body to the surrounding space and burns!
Pengbai's magical power fluctuations heralded the activation of the Noble Phantasm. At the moment when the black robe was rapidly atomized, and countless strange black smoke lingered and rose, his existence seemed to suddenly disappear, as if he had lost his entity.
The terrifying curse bullets whizzed past in the spiral of death!
The rune chain, which was originally stretched straight, also fell all of a sudden, and it lost its target loosely!
In the next instant, the pale-white skeleton mask appeared in Xia Ran's field of vision, almost a meter or so in front of the latter. It was like standing there from start to finish.
The great sword that was raised high has been swept down mercilessly, and the swordsman has definitely seized this opportunity!
The situation turned around in an instant!
However...
“Fus-Ro-Dah—!!”
