…
Roland arranged the duel properly, and it was dusk when he returned to the castle.
"Is Maisie really okay?" As soon as she stepped into the office, Nightingale appeared from behind.
"She has been practicing marksmanship with Lightning, and Lightning is a disciple you taught yourself, so there is nothing to worry about." Roland comforted, "The last time we explored the critical juncture of the devil's camp, she dared to turn into a beast and rush to the devil, It just proves that she is not lacking in courage, the only question is whether she will shoot her kind."
Maisie was more frightened than hurt at the time. Iffi really didn't mean to be ruthless, but such a contempt for non-combat witches was simply a bomb in the team, and it didn't teach the other party an impressive lesson. Let her change her past, Roland dare not take her out to arrest the devil.
And the best way to teach a lesson is to let Maisie defeat Iffy herself.
There is no doubt that the weapon that can exceed the ability limit and make the auxiliary witch also have the power to fight is the gun. In order to avoid accidental death, Roland specially asked Soraya to make a batch of rubber bullets, and the metal bullets were replaced by one. The layers of coatings are gradually softened from the inside out. This kind of bullet cannot penetrate the inside of the human body, but its power should not be underestimated. The huge kinetic energy will be transferred to the human body with the deformation of the warhead, and the severe pain will be enough to make the target lose its ability to resist, so it is also called an incapacitating bullet.
"...I'll go see her again," Nightingale fled into the mist as if she was worried.
Roland sighed softly. When Iffy was attacking Maisie, he clearly heard the click of the pistol disengaging the safety. If the other party didn't let Maisie go as he said, I'm afraid he would have to kill Nana next time. called.
In addition, it can be seen from the reassurance afterwards that Maisie is quite afraid of the witches of Bloodfang, which shows that they have done similar things on the Sleeping Island. Think of Haraka from the former Co-Aid Association, and the inferiority complex of Evelyn and Candlelight when they first came here, and even the witches' union more than 400 years ago, the more noble concept of fighting witches is undoubtedly not. abruptly. It can be said that in the face of oppression by foreign enemies, capable fighters will inevitably have a higher right to speak. It's a pity that the power of gunpowder and guns is enough to close the gap in ability... He thought to himself, if these two people can be corrected, Tilly should trust him even more.
"Don't worry too much, just aim at the guy and blow the bullet hole in one breath, make her cry bitterly, kneel down and beg for mercy, understand!" Lightning shouted loudly, "Even if it's a normal bullet, there is Nana. Wah is watching from behind, not to mention that you are using the paint warhead made by Sister Soraya, you don’t need to hit her a few times, you are not relieved at all!”
"Well..." Maisie leaned on the head of the bed, her hair covering her cheeks, "I see."
"You don't know!" Lightning brushed away her long white hair, "Now you don't have any intention of beating up each other, right? If you let her go this time, I'll never take you on an adventure again. - Explorers don't need cowards!"
Maisie's face was sullen, "I'm not..."
"She's not a coward," another voice said from behind them. "It's impossible for a coward to fight the devil, not to mention she saved my life."
Nightingale got out of the fog, walked to the bed, and flicked Lightning's forehead hard, "How can you talk like that!"
The little girl hugged her forehead and pouted, "I'm just afraid that she will shrink back."
She sighed and held Maisie's hand, "Listen, this contest is not just a matter between you and her... His Majesty arranged this to make the witches of the Bloodfang Society wake up to their mistakes and change them. Their attitude towards other witches. Remember Evelyn and Candlelight, there are many witches with similar experiences in Sleeping Island, if you can teach them a lesson, in a sense, you are also helping them. "
Nightingale paused, "So, you are not fighting for yourself, but to protect everyone, just like the last time you fought against the devil."
"Well..." Maisie fluttered her eyes and nodded lightly.
"By the way, His Majesty Roland also said that if you win this time, ice cream and pepper barbecue will be available for a week without limit, just for you."
"Goo!" Her eyes suddenly lit up.
The next day, in addition to the guards responsible for clearing the field, there were more than a dozen witches on the grass outside the city wall. They gathered beside Roland and cheered for Maisie almost loudly.
"I won't cheer for you," You Yu yawned, "You can't hear it anyway."
"No need." Iffi walked slowly to the center of the circled field, looked at Maisie, who was covered by long hair, and sneered in her heart. If the number of supporters could win, then the church would have unified the entire continent long ago. "It's still too late to admit defeat... Otherwise, it's not good to live up to His Majesty's expectations."
"I won't lose Goo!"
She couldn't help but be slightly taken aback, when did this guy dare to speak in such a sure tone in front of him? "Really? Then you're ready to be locked in a cage, and then fall from the sky and smash a dog into the mud."
"You can't hold me," Maisie raised her head and said, "The only person who can catch me in the sky is lightning!"
With the whistle of the start of the duel, Iffy stopped talking nonsense and rushed towards the opponent - she thought very clearly that even if Maisie brought the Stone of God's Retaliation, she would not be able to defeat herself who had received combat training. His Majesty Roland made a mistake. Battle witches do not rely solely on their own abilities to fight. Aside from their abilities, their bodies are also deadly weapons. Using the characteristics of physical fitness and recovery ability to surpass ordinary people, witches can often withstand more bloody and harsh training, even if the opponent is a fully armed knight, she is confident to win the opponent within ten breaths.
And Maisie changed into a blue bird, quickly spread its wings, and flew towards the sky.
"This is how you fight?" Iffi stretched out her arm in the direction of her escape, but the projected magic power did not capture the target, "This is a duel, where can you escape?"
"Chi-chi-" The bird rose higher and higher, and soon disappeared, leaving only a string of crisp chirping.
Yifei frowned and looked up at the sky. Suddenly, she saw a faint shadow appearing in the direction of the rising sun.
Use the light to hide your figure and launch an unexpected attack? Yifei couldn't help sneering, the idea was a good idea, unfortunately, her ability does not need to see the target directly, even if she is blindfolded, any target within ten steps will be sensed by magic - this is her Branching abilities awakened in adulthood.
Moreover, what kind of damage can a fist-sized blue bird do to her? If you want to decide the winner, the opponent will inevitably turn into that hideous behemoth again!
Just as she was waiting, a cloud blocked the sun, and the earth darkened instantly. At that moment, Iffi saw a bird falling from the sky.
Poor bastard, it seems that even luck is not on your side!
Without hesitation, she stretched out her hands and grabbed at the opponent - the outcome was decided!
But there was nothing... Magical power surrounded her in front, but she didn't feel Maisie who came straight in.
Maisie suddenly stopped twenty steps away from her!
Then, to Yifei's surprise, she turned back into a human form in mid-air, and pulled out a silver short stick from her waist pocket.
Is she... crazy
Without the bird's wings, Maisie didn't fall straight to the ground. She saw her long white hair rise up like wings, supporting her to fall slowly. ring!
Iffy felt that something had entered her magical range, but it was definitely not Maisie herself, and it wasn't a crossbow or a sling—she didn't even have time to let go of the cage, she felt as if she had been slammed into the stomach by a hammer, and then It's the thighs and calves... The roars sounded continuously, the soil splashed on the ground, and the severe pain made her unable to make any sound, as if her broken feet were powerless to support her body.
Iffy fell to the ground, clutching her stomach and curling up into a ball, her consciousness became blurred.
Vaguely, she saw a white figure fall in front of her, she raised her hand tremblingly with the last strength, but the magic power no longer responded to her call.
"You lost Goo."
At this time, the last words that Effie heard before fainting.
