This attack was the strongest and fastest attack Shinji had launched tonight.
This attack combines Shinji's physical strength, the reinforcement of the relic, the bonus of gravity, and the instantaneous increase brought by "magic power release".
The timing and angle of this attack were perfect.
In Shinji's opinion, Lizbeife could only block, even though this attack would most likely put her at a disadvantage for the first time.
But will reality really be as smooth as Shinji imagines
As the distance between him and Lizbaifei was getting closer, Shinji suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of fear in his heart, as if some huge crisis was approaching.
Almost at the same time as the sense of crisis appeared, there was also a slight clicking sound, as if some kind of switch was being moved.
Before Shinji had time to wonder what made the sound, he saw Lizbeife stop holding the shield and fold the holy shield fixed on her left hand to her waist. The tip of the gourd-shaped shield was facing downward, and the bottom with a circular opening was facing upward, as if she was going to strike out with her left fist.
Wait, there's an opening at the bottom of the shield!
Shinji's expression suddenly changed.
No, that's-
With a loud bang, a light green cone with a diameter of more than five centimeters popped out from the opening at the bottom of the shield and whizzed into Shinji's hardest left hand.
The strange light emanating from the tip of the cone quietly announced to Shinji that your left hand could not stop it.
This is the full picture of Lizbeife's conceptual weapon, the Holy Shield - Official Apocrypha Gamaliel. It is not only a holy shield engraved with holy words and with extraordinary defensive power, but also a weapon with huge destructive power.
There is a mechanism under the peculiar gourd-shaped shield, which contains a holy nail made of holy silver.
This holy nail, like the holy shield, is blessed by God, but it does not "protect" but "destroy". The objects hurt by the holy nail will be engraved with the concept of "destroy" without exception. This is one of the trump cards prepared by the "Cathedral Church" to defeat vampires. Since it was delivered to Lizbeif, many dead apostles have been indelibly scarred by the holy nail, and some have even fallen under the "holy nail".
Now, this "holy nail" is aimed at Shinji.
Shinji knew that there was a mechanism hidden in the Holy Shield, and that it had a great killing power against the Dead Apostles. However, he had fought with Lizbeife for such a long time, and he had never seen her use it. He subconsciously thought that she would not use it on him. After all, the two of them were not fighting for their lives. He did not expect that she would use it at the most critical moment, catching Shinji off guard.
Weapons specifically designed for vampires don't mean they're useless against humans, and that holy nail gives Shinji a feeling very similar to Diarmuid's yellow rose and his own snake-hunting sickle. It's probably a property that cannot be recovered once damaged.
The biggest reliance of the Dead Apostles is their self-healing ability. Ordinary skin injuries can be healed in just a few minutes. If this ability is suppressed, most of the Dead Apostles are equivalent to stronger humans. Even if they have superpowers, there is nothing to be afraid of. That's why the "Snake Hunting Scythe" has the nickname "Undead Killer".
If the "Holy Nail" has the same effect, then Shinji's left hand will be inconvenient to move at best, or even disabled. Although there are some treatment methods, but none of them are easy - the best way is to avoid getting hurt!
Under the pressure of a sense of crisis, Shinji made a decision.
The clenched left fist quickly loosened, and a light completely different from the Buddha's light and the holy light gathered beside Shinji's hand and quickly condensed into a solid.
This is also a shield, and the aura it exudes is no less than that of Lizbaifei's holy shield - Aegis (Shield of Athena)!
As soon as the Shield of Athena appeared, a sound as loud as a bell resounded through the night.
The "Holy Nail" of the Templar Church VS the Aegis of Athena, the goddess of wisdom.
The air at the point where the top of the "holy nail" collided with the shield was like a layer of lake water stirred by a foreign object, causing violent ripples. The outermost layer of the ripples spread to the ground, instantly tearing a gap as deep as one meter, and the grass attached to the ground was shattered by the ripples.
The competition between the two ancient mysteries caused a series of mysterious scenes that were difficult to explain scientifically.
After a battle that should not have happened in modern times, the situation remained unchanged. Liz Baife was still on the ground and Shinji was still in the air, but one was sinking deeper and the other bounced higher.
The fight between the two is like a fight between heaven and earth.
Shinji used his treasure at the critical moment and moved his sore left hand. Although he avoided the fate of having his left arm pierced, he also tested the limit of the relic's enhancement - it can block ordinary swords, but not divine weapons; although his strength exceeds the limit of human beings, he cannot match a high-level fantasy species like Bekasas.
Human power is limited. No, even the power of the planet beneath our feet will eventually run out.
Shinji smiled meaninglessly, dispelled the Shield of Athena, switched to feather shoes, and stood in the air.
"Ms. Liz Bailey, that was a bit too much."
Once the "Holy Nail" really pierces Shinji's palm, it means that Shinji will lose at least 30% of his strength, and it is very likely to be permanent. This is enough to drive anyone who desires to become stronger crazy.
If it weren't for the fact that this straightforward Holy Shield Knight hadn't revealed any murderous intent from beginning to end, Shinji would never have simply brushed it off as an exaggeration.
"Too much?"
Hearing Shinji's cold words, Lizbeife, who had just pulled herself out of the ground, looked blankly at the sky and then at her hands.
Well, no problem, no injuries, and the shield is also...
"Ah—'Holy Nail'! I used the 'Holy Nail'! It's over, it's over, that's a weapon that can only be used in a war of annihilation! This is terrible, this is terrible, Master Geserbarune is in solitary confinement now."
Such a strange response made Shinji dumbfounded. Fortunately, through the previous communication, Shinji had a certain understanding of Lizbeth's thick nerves, so he managed to keep his balance and did not fall from the sky.
In order to avoid further mental attacks, Shinji coughed heavily to show his presence.
"I said, we can talk about confinement later. Don't you care if I am okay?"
"Oh, that's right." Liz Baife realized belatedly, "Are you okay? You must tell me if you are injured. The injuries caused by the 'Holy Nail' are difficult to recover unless they are treated with another special conceptual weapon."
Lizbeth's frank attitude and genuine reaction dispelled the last doubts in Shinji's heart. He descended from the sky, spread out his left hand and waved it in front of Lizbeth's eyes.
"Luckily I reacted in time and wasn't hurt, otherwise—hem~"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Liz Baife lowered her head in embarrassment, "I accidentally forgot that you are not the one who needs to be annihilated."
"Forget it, it doesn't look like you did it on purpose. Be careful next time." Shinji sighed.
Originally, this battle was Shinji's own fault. If he hadn't hung Hayama Hero on the cross, he wouldn't have provoked Lizbeife. If he hadn't been curious about Lizbeife's strength, they wouldn't have fought. With Feather Shoes, he could just walk away whenever he wanted. How could a "short-legged" warrior catch up with him
More importantly, the gains from this battle have exceeded expectations, so let’s not worry about some minor surprises.
