"Wind!"
It was not some ancient language, nor was it some special way of chanting. It was just a simple English word "wind" with a girl's unique ending tone, which created a terrifying wind pressure.
"This is-"
Shinji, whose steps were unsteady due to the strong wind, realized a terrible fact: this girl not only has the attribute of "wind", but also has extremely high attainments in wind-attribute magic.
"Oh my, oh my, I've really hit a wall this time. This fence-sitter family's ability to cling to others is terrifying. They actually managed to hire such a master."
While smiling bitterly, Shinji did not forget to activate the "EIHWAZ" rune to isolate the increasingly terrifying airflow.
"But now that we've already kicked him, there's no point in thinking about it now. Let's finish the task first, and let Director Ken take care of the aftermath."
Shinji's right hand moved in the air at an astonishing speed, drawing a string of runes more than ten bytes long.
This string of words embodies the fruits of Shinji's hard work in practicing magic, and means that he has reached a new level in rune magic.
In the past, Shinji's understanding of runes was still shallow, and he could only use simple rune symbols and rune spells composed of runes, which strictly speaking could not be considered rune magic. But after the battle with Araya Souren, he was inspired by the Sanskrit and seals engraved on the "Six Paths Realm", and finally figured out how to combine and arrange rune symbols to form a spell with a fixed meaning - this is the real rune magic.
The moment the spell took shape, colorful light illuminated the entire underground workshop.
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, seven light balls of different colors surrounded Shinji.
Rune Magic—"Rainbow Missile!"
He extended his index finger forward, pointing at the girl who seemed to be driving the strong wind, like a wind spirit. Seven balls of light flew out in response, creating a gorgeous rainbow in the air.
Feeling the unprecedented magical fluctuations in the rainbow, the girl did not dare to be careless. She used the whip to drive the air flow, pulling her body to change direction and avoid the rainbow's track.
Unexpectedly, the rainbow missiles have built-in tracking capabilities. Wherever the girl moves, the seven missiles will follow her. The girl has no choice but to change her strategy and manipulate the airflow to set up obstacles on the flight path of the missiles.
At this moment, the girl caught a glimpse of a scene that made her extremely angry.
That damned cloaked man actually abandoned her once again to chase after the head of Gertler's family. He never took her seriously from the beginning to the end.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"
The girl grabbed the top of the whip with her left hand and squeezed it three times.
Every time you pinch it, say "damn it".
Every time he said "Damn it", the magical fluctuations in his body became stronger.
In the end, it actually condensed into substance and directly deflected the rainbow missile that had been interfered with many times and was already at the end of its strength.
The next second, the girl's figure disappeared from where she was and appeared behind Shinji.
The swinging whip was wrapped in high-speed rotation and highly compressed air, and the power of the blow was even stronger than the mercury blade of the Moon Spirit Marrow.
Shinji was alarmed and could only side slide to narrowly avoid the girl's attack.
It was unknown whether she used too much force or was deliberately showing off her power, but the girl did not retract her whip in time after it missed, and just let the weapon fall directly to the ground. Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and the specially treated solid floor of the workshop became dented, cracked, and bumpy as if it had been hit by a shell.
The girl, who was stronger than the storm, swung her braids with a crisp "crackling" sound and looked at Shinji provocatively.
Shinji felt a chill on his back. If he hadn't dodged in time, even if he had a high level of magic resistance, he wouldn't have been able to stop such an attack.
Do you have to be so violent? Do you have to be so strong
—This is a bit difficult.
Fighting alone, Shinji was not afraid of the girl, even if it was one against two, it didn't matter, it was more like what he wanted. After several fights, Shinji had seen that Gertler's magic level was very average, and there was no coordination between him and the girl. In a sense, the two of them working together was easier than fighting the girl alone.
But the problem is not the battle, the goals of the two sides are fundamentally different.
Shinji wants to kill the head of the Gertler family, but if either the girl or Gertler tells the girl's name, Shinji cannot continue, otherwise he will violate the unspoken rules of the Clock Tower.
There is only one way left - use the treasure and fight quickly.
The reason why I didn't use it just now was mainly because I was afraid that the power of the treasure was too great, and I might accidentally kill the mediator, which was a taboo. Now that the girl has shown her powerful strength, there is no need to worry about accidentally killing someone. As for the extent of the injury, it depends on the girl's own luck.
I really didn't expect the Gertler family to be so difficult to deal with. I should have brought the "Qingyun Sword" earlier. With the girl's level of wind-attribute magic, there will be no problem.
As soon as the regret arose in his heart, Shinji suppressed it, because no matter how much he regretted, it would not change the current situation. The most urgent task was to complete the task first.
Shinji released the "Divine Spear Bow and Sword", with Indra's Thunder in his left hand and Snake Hunting Scythe in his right hand.
The sublimation of legends, the crystallization of human beliefs, and the miracle endowed with substance by the mysterious third magic "soul materialization" are reproduced here.
Golden thunder, mighty power of heaven.
The simple sickle blade is cold and sharp.
The moment it materialized, the girl felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.
"Wait, wait—"
"goodbye."
Shinji ignored the girl's exclamation and took one last look at her. The magical weapon from India was about to come out.
This was an attack that even a first-rate servant would not dare to ignore, and it was enough to sever the connection between the girl and her target. All that was left was to chop off Gertler's head with the Snake Hunting Scythe and the mission would be accomplished.
Just before the lightning in the magic weapon was fully activated and about to be used, Shinji suddenly found that his target had disappeared. The middle-aged man with a sanctimonious appearance could not be seen inside the workshop or in the corridor outside the workshop.
"How long have you looked away? Where is the guy?"
This crucial pause finally gave the girl the opportunity to finish her words.
"Stop, he's already run away, there's no point in hitting him any further."
As the girl said, there is really no point in fighting, unless Shinji really wants to kill her. As long as he doesn't kill her, with the girl's strength, there will be plenty of opportunities to report her name, and tonight's action is equivalent to failure.
"Damn it."
Shinji glared at the girl angrily, and the activated divine thunder radiated out to the surroundings, leaving two thrilling marks on the ceiling and the ground.
If it weren't for her obstruction, the Gertler family would have been destroyed long ago and would not have dragged on until now.
The girl was indifferent to Lei Ting's intimidation and just said calmly: "Being angry will not help. Why don't we sit down and talk? Maybe we can find a win-win solution."
"It's obviously a loss, how can it be a win-win situation?"
Shinji cursed angrily, but the girl didn't hear his voice because of the cloak, so she continued to talk to herself:
"My name is—"
Unfortunately, this self-introduction was interrupted again.
Being violently shaken by the feet.
