Shinji, who was busy dealing with Mordred's outburst, didn't hear her.
"I never thought that there would come a day when I would trust someone like a magician."
Until now, she had never placed any trust in magicians. She had always believed that magicians were all a bunch of shut-ins with extremely twisted personalities. No, in fact, most of the magicians she had met were like this.
But—this magician is different.
He is not like other magicians who like to hide behind the scenes and engage in shameful conspiracies.
He will fight and charge as hard as I do, and do everything he can to win. If I had to say, it would be probably 90% attack and 10% defense.
He, like himself, believed in his intuition.
He would risk his life for the sake of putting himself in danger.
It turns out that there are magicians in the world who share the same interests as me.
Come to think of it, the catalyst for summoning me was the fragments of the Round Table. In other words, no matter which of the Knights of the Round Table appeared - even if it was Lancelot who insulted his father or the hateful top student Gawain - it wouldn't be strange.
Even so, in the end, it was me who was summoned.
The answer is obvious, he and the Master Lion Jie are the same kind of person.
Then, there is nothing to worry about.
Mordred shouted loudly, turned around, swung his sword in a circle, and created a storm of blades.
"All I have to do is get rid of you."
The road where the two were located was not wide, and once Mordred's blade storm was launched, Shinji's space for dodging was severely squeezed, and his hidden blade and hand axe were not enough to withstand the increasingly heavy king's sword.
In an instant, the situation took a sharp turn.
"Got you, assassin!"
In the blink of an eye, Shinji was forced into a corner, but there was still no panic on his face.
He just shook his wrist, and the hand axe that had caused Mordred so much pain flew out of his hand. Then he changed his previous strategy of avoiding fighting and rushed forward towards the storm of swords. A dazzling light shone from his outstretched left hand, and even the hidden blade attached to the device and his left wrist seemed to be coated with a layer of gold paper.
That is a light different from the light of the guardian planet of the "Sword of Promised Victory" and the light of the guardian humanity of the "Spear Shining in the Distance". It is a color extremely rare in the West. It is a mystery from the East, a power called "Buddha" and a belief called Buddhism.
Protected by this power, Shinji rushed into the sword pressure that had become a tornado with a bravery no less than that of Mordred.
The sword pressure, which was no less powerful than a real sword, continuously struck his body, cutting through the protection of the Buddha's light, creating one tiny wound after another, and bringing out blood that was dyed golden by the Buddha's light.
However, Shinji's expression didn't change at all, as if he didn't feel any pain.
Those who are hurt are not afraid, and those who cause harm are even less afraid.
"Magic Power Release" has the maximum output, and the "King's Sword of Brilliant Lightning" is soaked in red lightning and turns completely red, becoming a magic sword.
The demonic sword that Mordred had poured all his strength into slashed at the approaching hidden blade with an extremely strong and fierce momentum.
This sword was the strongest sword Mordred had swung today, almost reaching the limit under normal conditions (that is, without releasing the treasure).
This sword was definitely not something that the "fragile" hidden blade with enhanced magic could resist.
The hidden blade was destroyed without any suspense, starting from the tip of the sword that first made contact and breaking into pieces, and finally being blown into powder by the red thunder.
The last obstacle between the two of them had disappeared, and the king's sword would cut the arm in front of him into two, and finally cut the owner of the arm into two pieces - that's what Mordred thought. However, the next scene was completely beyond her expectations.
Before the sword, which would undoubtedly cause fatal damage if hit, touched Shinji's skin, his left hand grabbed Mordred's sword-holding wrist.
"No-"
When Mordred heard the first word, her nerves suddenly felt a sharp pain. This was the alarm sent by her "intuition". But at this time, she was too late to react. She could only watch the Red King Sword, which had poured all its power into it, being forcibly stopped.
To be precise, it was not a complete stop, but a clever way to transfer the momentum of the attack - by changing the pace, changing the center of gravity, and then driving Mordred's body.
It's a throwing technique!
It was only then that Mordred realized what the move was. Then, Shinji's right hand pressed against her breastplate, and she was thrown upside down into the air, crashing directly into a building on the side of the road.
It was at this moment that he had time to finish the next half sentence.
"—I caught you."
The fierce attack was cleverly transformed and returned to Mordred himself. The violent impact penetrated through the armor, entered the muscles, and finally reached the internal organs. The young knight couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, and with her trembling right hand, she struggled to raise the king's sword and inserted it into the wall in front of her - just before she fell. Then she took advantage of the force and jumped to the roof.
Seeing this scene, Shinji couldn't help but secretly say it was a pity.
Unfortunately, the battlefield is not spacious enough, and there is no way for Mordred to take off and land. Otherwise, Shinji could have followed up with a series of combos, and it would not have been impossible for him to cripple Mordred in one fell swoop.
Hearing the sound of armor rubbing against the floor from above, Shinji knew he had no chance.
Although it was a result of precise calculation, Shinji still inevitably suffered considerable injuries. There was a bloody wound on his chest, thigh, and waist. This was the price he paid for breaking through the storm of blades.
The biceps and triceps of his left arm also suffered a certain degree of damage. Even though he held Mordred's wrist, even though his hidden blade was broken and reduced, and even though he was in "Vajra Left Arm" mode, he still couldn't completely block Mordred's sword. This is why Shinji didn't launch a pursuit.
"What a shame. I used 'Pankrasin' on purpose."
With a sigh, the "Goddess's Scepter" and "Life Rune" appeared at the same time, healing Shinji's injuries at the fastest speed.
Pankration, originated in ancient Greece, is a comprehensive fighting technique that combines boxing and wrestling skills. It is the oldest mixed martial arts in the world and one of the results of Shinji's special training.
Chiron, who possesses "divine wisdom", is proficient in all the skills of the Greek system, including sword, spear, bow, and hand-to-hand combat. In order to restrain Achilles' high speed and fierce and fast fighting style, Chiron specially taught Shinji this fighting technique that is more soft than hard, more clever than polite, and especially focuses on prediction and improvisation.
Because of Mordred's fierce attack, Shinji naturally used the throwing techniques in this fighting technique.
What? After only two days of special training, it's good enough that Shinji can remember "Pankrasin" completely, but he can actually use it freely? Are you sure you're not kidding
It's true that we are not kidding, Shinji has indeed mastered "Pankrasin" and become a real wrestler.
PS: In the original novel, Chiron threw Xiao Mo and lost one of his hands. Erye is different. Xiao Mo does not have the 64-meter height difference to accelerate, and Erye's "King Kong Left Arm" is much harder than Chiron's arm. It can be said that Erye is the most suitable person to use "Pankrasin". Of course, because there is no 64-meter height difference, Erye's throw cannot make Xiao Mo stiff.
