The King of the Dead Apostles, who looks like an angel, is high above, like a judge acting on behalf of God, or like an eagle soaring in the sky, striking down with unrivaled momentum, making people afraid.
If this situation continues, even if Shinji can survive the third and fourth blinks, he will definitely not escape defeat. The reason is that every time "White Wing Lord" attacks, his momentum becomes stronger, and when Shinji is attacked, not only will his momentum be weakened, but his body will also suffer certain damage.
Although this damage is very minor, the cumulative damage cannot be ignored. Shinji's strength is weaker than that of "White Wing Lord", and only by careful calculation can he have a glimmer of hope.
At the critical moment, Shinji no longer hesitated.
If you hold back when fighting against the strongest person in the world, it would be tantamount to giving up your own life.
"I give the order in the name of the Command Seal to strengthen my body!"
After four years of silence, the red lines engraved on Shinji's right arm, stretching to his shoulder, were lit up. The one closest to his wrist emitted a redder light than blood.
Although this light is not strong, the power it releases is in no way inferior to the Buddha's light that envelops the whole body.
This is the essence of the Matou family's magic, the greatest masterpiece of the great magician Machiri Zorgen's life, and it is a crystallization of power that can perform miracles beyond magic created using the Holy Grail system - the Command Seal.
Although it is rare and non-renewable, it does have unlimited potential to reverse the situation of war.
Shinji once used it to stabilize Yustisa's spiritual base that was on the verge of collapse. Now he wants to use it to fight against the big boss who broke into the novice village.
Highly concentrated magic power spread from his right hand to his whole body, and the feeling of every cell being filled with power intoxicated Shinji. Unfortunately, this power was only temporary, and the more you used it, the less power you had, so you couldn't waste even a little bit.
The gray cloak moved without wind, and the magic power filling the whole body brought up a small storm.
Amid the surging air currents, Shinji no longer passively defends himself. He wants to confront the powerful King of the Dead Apostles head-on with the magic power of the Command Seals!
The wind was blowing wildly, "White Wing Prince" went downwind, while Shinji went upwind.
The sharp claws of "Vajra Left Arm" against the King of the Dead.
Suddenly, a majestic and solemn sound rang out between heaven and earth, like the sound of a dusk drum and a dawn bell.
With the point where their fists and claws intersected as the center, the air was like the surface of the Po River in the spring breeze, rippling with fine ripples. As the ripples passed, Hades' cloak rose and fell violently, and at the same time, Ottenroche's face, which did not look old, showed layers of subtle ups and downs, and then slowly returned to calm.
The two punching (clawing) arms swung back at the same time, and then switched hands to attack at the same time.
The snake hunting sickle has a cold edge and its trajectory is like a crescent moon.
The claws are curved like hooks, and the invisible blades are whistling.
"White Wing Man" frowned slightly and gently withdrew his hand.
Shinji shook his arms and snorted.
Neither of them made any further moves, but the distance between them was growing larger and larger.
This is the first time that Shinji has achieved a balance since "White Wing Lord" faded his white light and became serious.
The confidence and momentum of "Prince White Wing", who thought he had victory in his grasp, were inevitably affected, although only slightly.
Shinji, who had escaped from the predicament, felt more confident. He saw hope, the hope to continue fighting.
When the distance between the two stopped widening, Shinji paused and launched a new round of attack after getting back on his feet.
Only a few minutes had passed since Squadron E retreated. In order to ensure that they would not be caught up by the "White Wing Prince", Shinji had to drag this terrifying enemy here to buy enough time.
Shinji's steps were very slow at first.
The first step he took was less than half of a normal person's step;
The second step is slightly faster, just like an ordinary person;
The third step is twice as long as an ordinary person's first step.
And so on.
"Bajiquan" has "live steps", and Japanese Kendo has steps similar to "shrinking the earth". Shinji naturally learned a similar way of moving from Scathach.
After a few steps, Shinji's burst of speed surprised even "Prince White Wing", and what surprised him even more was the enemy's tactics.
Knowing that he was the "White Wing Prince", he still dared to fight him in close combat. How long had it been since I encountered such a person? Decades or hundreds of years
But when he thought of the repeated provocative behavior of the man code-named "Death", "White Wing Prince" felt relieved again. Such a person could not be judged by common sense.
The two slightly wrinkled eyebrows slowly relaxed, and the pure white wings behind the "White Wing Prince" expanded, and with a flutter, he left the ground and left Shinji's leveling route.
That's right, he hid and didn't confront Shinji head-on again.
It's not that it can't be stopped, nor is it out of fear, but there is no need.
With the eyesight of "Prince White Wing", even if he couldn't see through the disguise of Hades' cloak, it was no problem for him to see through Shinji's current state.
Even though Shinji seems to be full of vigor and vitality at the moment, all of this is like a tree without roots and water without a source, and it cannot last long. If left alone, Shinji will soon use up this power that does not belong to him.
If that's the case, why bother to confront him head on? After all, the sickle that can suppress regeneration and the magical weapon that can release golden thunder that is hidden somewhere have obvious restraint on the dead apostles. Even a strong man like "White Winged Lord" doesn't want to get involved.
However, generally speaking, in a duel between two sides with a small gap between them, it is not easy for one side to avoid a fight, because the other side will try every means to press forward step by step.
However, "Lord White Wing" did not have any concerns in this regard, because the two had too much experience difference. Even though Shinji had experienced many battles and inherited the "wisdom of the devil's realm", he was still not as good as the former's thousand years of accumulation.
Previously, "White Wing Lord" wanted to fight Shinji head-on, and Shinji couldn't hide;
Now, "King White Wing" is determined to fight, and Shinji has no place to use his strength.
It is worth mentioning that although it is not pleasant to have strength but nowhere to use it, Shinji does not feel aggrieved at all. His goal is not to defeat "White Wing Lord" at all, but just to delay time. No matter what means are used, as long as the goal is achieved, "White Wing Lord" does not want to waste energy, and Shinji does not want to either. The more energy left, the easier it is to run.
The only thing he didn't understand was, what good would it be for the "White Wing Lord" to do this? Shinji didn't believe that Oteng Luoche couldn't see his plan. The longer he spent with him, the slimmer his hope of catching up with the E-Team would be. Normally, shouldn't he kill him as quickly as possible and then pursue him? Could it be that he had arranged other pursuers
As soon as this idea came up, Shinji rejected it. Let's not talk about how to hide from Barthelmero's intelligence network and send a force that can destroy the E-Team into the Po River Plain. Even if they were sent in, there was no need to act separately from the "White Wing Lord". It would be better to come to the town directly to block them.
Then what is it for
Taking advantage of the time between moves, Shinji began to think.
