"Sifen, take Faker and get away."
Shinji's reminder was completely unnecessary. As soon as he opened his mouth, Sifen, who smelled the terrifying murderous aura, rushed out at the fastest speed.
Without any worries, Shinji can finally face Roa without any scruples.
"You want to kill me?"
"Yes, I want to kill you. I want to kill you so badly. I wonder what kind of expression that woman will have if I kill you?"
Roa grinned and pulled out a short knife from his sleeve, pointing it at Shinji's neck.
"What a coincidence. I also want to kill you. I dream about it."
Shinji didn't laugh, but quietly drew out his "God Gun Bow Sword". It was the first time that he wanted to kill someone so simply, even though this person had no direct connection with him.
"Can you do it?" Roa hooked his finger provocatively.
"It's not a matter of whether I can do it or not, but I will definitely do it. I promised her that I would kill you for her and take back her lost power. My princess doesn't need a rubbish like you as her companion."
The originally normal expression suddenly turned cold, even colder than Roa's. Even colder than the expression was Shinji's voice.
"My princess?"
Roa seemed to have heard something incredible and repeated a word that Shinji said in a low voice.
The latter no longer cared about him. He had said what needed to be said, and all he had to do next was kill him.
The dreams of the previous life and the companionship of this life all emerged at this moment, transformed into power and injected into Shinji's body, and also into the "divine spear bow and sword" in his hand, pulling the rubber rope to its full extent.
Then, release your fingers and the "gun bow" fires!
Whoosh! The sound was quieter than any other firearm, but its power was comparable to that of a sniper rifle.
The silver bullet is also attached with the "Original Rune" engraved by Scathach herself, which makes the silver bullet have the destructive power of a mortar.
If you don't kill the snake, you will suffer from it. For the poisonous snake Luoa, it must be killed with thunder and lightning.
Obviously, the other side thought so too.
The patterns of the Kabbalah system emerged on the exposed skin. Roa's figure became blurred the moment the silver bullet was fired, and he appeared directly in front of Shinji the next moment. The latter was secretly shocked but not panicked.
I was shocked because I didn't expect Luoa to be able to combine the "Secret Patterns of Numbers" and "Living Steps" to produce an effect that was almost like shrinking the earth.
He was not panicking because Shinji had experience in dealing with shrinking the earth. He had even seen the legendary highest level of "dimensional jump". Naturally, such a small situation of instantly shortening the distance would not make him panic.
With the infusion of magic power, the fork turned into a knife tip, and the materialized dagger drew an arc, just right to block Roa's dagger.
It was a blow that was sure to succeed, and Roa's reaction was exactly the same as Shinji's just now. Although he was shocked, he remained calm and spread out the dagger that was deflected, never leaving Shinji's vital points. At the same time, his remaining hand and two legs also took turns to fight, attacking the enemy like a storm.
Shinji showed no sign of weakness. He used his bow and sword to counter the dagger, his fists and feet to counter the fists and feet. He defended very steadily and even counterattacked from time to time to disrupt Roa's pace.
A tense and fierce close combat ensued, which lasted for more than ten minutes.
Shinji Matou and Michel Roa Fadanyan, the two men who obtained the power of Elquet, can be said to be a perfect match.
You have the strong physique of a Dead Apostle, and I also have the enhancements of the "Golden Apple" and the "Blood of the True Ancestor".
You are good with the dagger, and my bow and sword are not bad either.
You have "Bajiquan" and I have "Pankrasin".
You have the accumulation of eighteen reincarnations, and I have the two great wisdoms of "the magic realm" and "divine bestowal" to impart.
More importantly, both of them took a broad and diverse approach in close combat, knowing a great many things. No matter what strange moves the opponent made, they could think of ways to deal with them, but none of them went beyond the limitations of their moves and reached the legendary realm of "seeking the truth".
It is no exaggeration to say that this is an ultimate showdown of moves and responses that is limited to inhuman levels.
As time went on, the battle between Shinji and Roa became more and more intense, and the surprise in their hearts also increased.
Although Shinji knew that Roa would accumulate knowledge in his reincarnation, he was able to integrate this knowledge and use the "Numerical Marks" that he was best at as a foundation to bring out the qualities of the reincarnated body. This guy really deserves the title of a rare genius. He is worthy of being a great magician who surpasses Avisbron, the creator of the Numerical Marks system, and worthy of being an "infinite reincarnator" who continues to grow in every life.
Luoa: I have been reincarnated eighteen times and have accumulated more than eight hundred years to have the knowledge I have now. How old is this kid? How can he compete with me in knowledge and skills? Where did that woman find this evildoer? - No, we can't go on like this. His servants haven't appeared yet. We must fight quickly!
As soon as he thought of this, a sharp light flashed in Roa's eyes. He swung out with his dagger and fist at the same time, and had a solid strength contest with Shinji.
As a result, Shinji, who had the advantage of weapon length, had a slight upper hand and regrouped faster. His bow and sword went straight for Roa's throat, and the latter only had time to swing his dagger and cut towards Shinji's lower abdomen.
One is the vital point, the other is not. The outcome of this round of close combat seems to be about to be decided.
However, just when the bow and sword were about to fall, Shinji suddenly turned around and stepped back, giving up the victory that was within his grasp, as if he was unwilling to endure even the slightest injury.
Seeing this, Roa frowned slightly, and then began to chase. The trajectory of the dagger became more and more bizarre, sometimes aiming at Shinji's vital points, and sometimes slashing at seemingly unimportant parts.
Shinji responded in the same way as before. He would rather give up the advantage and keep retreating than give Roa's dagger a chance to touch his body, even if it was just a light touch.
After a few rounds, Roa's brows furrowed more and more, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes when he looked at Shinji: "Hey, hey, how can you be the guard knight of that woman like this? The name of "Blue Knight" is crying."
The last half of the sentence obviously applies Shinji's original remarks about "agents". This vampire who aims for eternity is really unwilling to suffer any loss.
Shinji ignored the enemy's provocation and continued to implement his overly cautious tactics, while replying in the same sarcastic tone: "Stop pretending. You are not pretending at all. Do you really think I can't see that your seemingly unnecessary attacks are the real killer moves?"
"Y-how do you know?"
Roa's attack slowed down, and the suspicion that had been suppressed finally surfaced. Shinji did not fight back, but took the opportunity to escape from Roa's attack range and said expressionlessly:
"I know you much better than you think."
PS: The original Rune's status is extremely high, but this is the modern times where mystery has faded. No matter how high the status is, it cannot perform like the Age of Gods. How the Age of Gods Rune performs can be seen in the latest second chapter of FGO.
