Popular title version: Tough Girl (Part 2)
Blood splattered and blood flowers flew.
There was blood that the girl spat out, and there was also blood that the knife took out of the magician's body.
Both Araya's kick and Shiki's sword carried deadly power, but the two men, who were much stronger than ordinary people, did not lose their lives. They withstood the blow with their bodies, and then continued with a brutal attack with the momentum of self-sacrifice.
At this point, neither of them had any room to hold back.
In Araya's eyes, Shiki's body might become tattered, but it didn't matter what the appearance was, as long as he could keep the body that could sustain a person's activities, he only wanted the body that was connected to the "root". On the contrary, his own body could be discarded, and he only needed to leave the head and replace it with Shiki's body.
In Shiki's opinion, Araya's life force was too strong to be human-like. Under the premise of not dying after enduring multiple fatal injuries, and without being able to find the "dead line", the only way to truly kill this terrifying man was to leave as many wounds as possible.
Kill you!
No one opened the door, but his eyes, actions, will and spirit clearly expressed the meaning.
The blade light, colder than the moonlight, penetrated into Araya's left shoulder.
Araya's only remaining left hand hit Shiki's right shoulder.
Along with the clear sound of bones cracking, powdery blood splattered, wetting the magician's black robe and staining the girl's pure white kimono.
The old man and the young man, who were so angry that they raged, exchanged arms.
Shi held the knife in her left hand. Although her knife skills were not as fast as before, she was not at all messy. She wanted to cut the magician in front of her into pieces.
The magician had no intention of retreating. Even though he had lost his hands, he still had his legs and his head. More importantly, he still had a stillness barrier.
Perhaps this final barrier cannot stop the ancient sword with a long history, but as long as it can delay the battle, even for only one second, it will be enough for Araya to secure victory.
Although this may be the worst way imaginable, in the end, the same thing will happen, except that there is no insurance left in case of failure. But it is precisely because of the fear of real shooting that I became weak. If I had killed Ryougi Shiki at the beginning, I would not have reached the point of being hunted down.
At this moment, Araya had forgotten the existence of other people around him, and there was only Ryougi Shiki in his eyes.
A golden circle with floating Sanskrit characters appeared under Araya's feet, and the final barrier opened.
Shiki's foot was stepping on one of the Sanskrit characters, and was inevitably affected by the barrier. Although the barrier was quickly cut by the sharp edge of "Nine Characters", it was too late to stop the magician's actions.
The tip of the black leather shoe hit Shi's knee hard, and the most fragile patella at the junction between the thigh and calf was immediately shattered.
Without the support of his knees, Shiki could no longer maintain his balance. He staggered forward and fell with his lower abdomen at Araya's feet.
Araya did not waste the opportunity he had finally gotten. He kicked Shiki in the chest with a kick that was like breaking through the sky.
Even in such a dire situation, the girl did not forget to fight back and swung the last knife.
The girl poured all her strength into this knife strike. The knife cut through the magician's right chest and reached his right abdomen, almost cutting off Araya's body.
Old and young, male and female, black and white, magician and swordsman, all tumbled to the ground at the same time.
◇◇◇
The monster emerged from the shadows and silently hit Aruba in the lower back.
The monster may not look big, but it is very powerful. With just one collision, it lifted Aruba, which weighed at least 70 kilograms, off the ground and reached a height of three meters.
Along with the impact sound, there was also a slight "crack", which seemed to be the sound of a bone breaking.
What bones are there in the human waist
There is only one answer - the lumbar vertebrae. The shadow monster broke Aruba's spine without mercy.
Don't forget that Sakura, like Shinji, was taught by Scathach. Although she specializes in magic, she has not missed any of the hells that Scathach's disciples must go through, such as being beaten every now and then.
After being beaten many times, one naturally knows where the human body is strong and where it is weak. The waist and abdomen, which are supported only by the spine and have no protection from ribs, and are filled with various important organs, are the most difficult to defend and very fragile parts.
Waist and abdomen injuries can affect movement at the least, or even lead to death at the worst, making it very suitable for defeating and killing enemies. Sakura, who had been taught by Scathach that "victory comes first", had long since abandoned her naivety and weakness, and attacked without hesitation, severely injuring Aruba with one blow, destroying Aruba's idea of escaping.
Because of the existence of magic circuits and magic seals, a magician's vitality is much stronger than that of an ordinary person, and the same is true for his tolerance to pain.
Aruba, whose right hand was twisted and spine was broken, did not lose consciousness. He tried hard to focus his vision, trying to figure out what was hindering him.
However, after he saw it clearly, he would rather know nothing and faint directly, so that he would not be hit again.
"That, that is, a shadow creature... ... a shadow apostle!!!"
As one of the earliest modern magicians to focus on runes, in addition to the "Wandering Sea" who worship ancient magic, Aruba knows very well what kind of magic Sakura uses.
Shadow Apostle, one of the high-level rune magic.
The classification of rune magic is mostly related to the runes used. The spells of low-level rune magic such as "Rainbow Missile" and "Icicle Blade" are composed of "Derived Twenty-Four Runes", while high-level rune magic needs to add "Original Eighteen Runes". Great magic above high-level magic must be composed entirely of "Original Runes".
Since the original runes were added to the spell, the effect of the magic would naturally be much stronger.
The principle of Shadow Apostle is to summon and drive shadow creatures with spells composed of runes containing special powers.
The jellyfish-like monster controlled by Sakura is the most common type of shadow creature, and its strength is equivalent to that of an elite dragon fang soldier. However, due to the special nature of shadow life forms that can lurk in the shadows, the actual evaluation of the shadow apostle is much higher than that of the dragon fang soldier, and the relative difficulty of magic is also increased.
As far as Aruba knew, there was no rune magician in the world who could use the Shadow Apostle.
"Ahahahaha, impossible, impossible, I must be dreaming."
Aruba, who had not even fully mastered the "Derived Twenty-Four Runes" and was unable to perform even the most basic rune magic, was devastated and finally began to escape from reality.
Sakura ignored Aruba's ugly appearance. This girl, who was already at the top of the Rune magic world but was completely unaware of it, concentrated on driving the Shadow Apostle. She hit Aruba again the moment he landed. This was also the jellyfish monster's only way of attacking.
"I promised Sister Orange and Brother that I would teach you a lesson with my new magic tricks, and I did it."
Aruba's eyes rolled back and he almost choked on his breath.
PS: Shadow Apostles are similar to ordinary assassins, they are very good at sneak attacks from behind, and their combat power is not very good. If Aruba has time to prepare, one or two fire magics can solve it. But who made Aruba be beaten by Orange first, then by Fujino, and finally escaped, but was beaten by Sakura. He is really worse than Tokiomi.
PS2: Aruba, why did you have to pick on someone else but seal up the entire family
