Shinji Matou At Your Service

Chapter 446: Sighisoara, where the storms gather (XII)

Views:

After all, the old ones are the wisest. Fiore realized her own problems and shortcomings, but she was helpless. However, after the attack was frustrated, Shizijie was able to come up with a new solution in the shortest time. This is the difference in experience and the biggest difference between the academic school and the practical school.

The well-prepared Lion Jie stood up from the corner where he was hiding. Except for his right hand holding the gun, he used his remaining left hand, left foot and right foot to kick and throw three stones at the same time.

In order to ensure the success of the plan, a "heart grenade" was buried in the stone this time, and this was also the last grenade on Lion Jie's body. Because of this, he chose this time to decide the victory or defeat, and even life or death in one go.

At the same time as the stone flew out of the window, Lion Jie also used magic to strengthen his body and jumped out from the second floor.

Seeing three stones flying out at the same time, Fiore realized that Lion Jie was likely to launch a new round of attacks. Her body tensed up involuntarily, and her vision covered the entire plane where the low building was located. The magic circuit continuously drew magic power from the "big source" and injected it into the four prosthetic limbs connected to the body.

After the battle just now, Fiore clearly realized a fact that made her depressed—if Lion Jie hid in the low building and didn't come out, Fiore really couldn't do anything to him, because the space in the corridor limited the use of the "Connection Enhancement Magic Costume". But as long as Lion Jie came out, her chance came, even if this chance was based on the former's fierce attack.

All three stones were captured, their movement trajectories and landing points calculated, and the splash range of possible "heart grenades" was roughly estimated.

Based on these data, Fiore found the most appropriate course of action. Her two prosthetic limbs grabbed the ground and ejected, perfectly avoiding the explosion of three stones and the "heart grenade" hidden in them.

You have dodged this round. Next, you will -

Just then, Fiore caught another glimpse of a dark shadow.

Only one

And why is this track so off track

So far, Lion Jie has thrown more than ten stones, and Fiore has gradually become accustomed to this way of attacking - the accuracy of each throw of the necromancer is not low, and even if it misses, there will not be too much deviation. Fiore is a little uncomfortable with the sudden large deviation value.

Was he tired? Or did he make a mistake accidentally

Just as Fiore was wondering, she saw the black shadow move when it landed.

No, that's not a stone, that's Lion Robbery himself!

When he realized this, Lion Jie had already launched the attack.

At this time, the two were only ten meters apart.

Nine meters.

The double-barreled shotgun slid out of the jacket and fired two "finger bullets" that reached subsonic speeds and could automatically track heat sources.

Eight meters.

"The Tin Arm of Protection!"

The prosthetic limb infused with animal spirits extended from the right shoulder and accurately crushed the bullet approaching the head.

"Iron Arms of War!"

At the same time, the prosthetic limb on the left shoulder began to spit out light bullets. Both the firing speed and frequency were unmatched by Lion Jie's sawed-off shotgun.

Lion Jie was prepared for this. He held a "lung gas bomb" in his hand, aiming it at the nozzle of the "Iron Arm of War".

Seven meters.

The "lung gas bomb" exploded, emitting a foul smell and a strangely colored poison gas. Shizi Jie's figure was instantly hidden in the poison gas - he was the one who made the poison gas, so of course he could also make an antidote to neutralize it. He was not afraid of being accidentally injured by his own weapons.

"The thunderous lead arm!"

Fiore, who had lost her vision, continued to give orders, and the prosthetic arm that stretched out from her left waist left the ground, rolling up the airflow to prevent the poison gas from approaching. The "Iron Arm of War" continued to fire, but because of the obstruction of the poison gas, it was unknown whether it hit the target.

Six meters.

A blurry image appeared in the poisonous fog.

"Iron Arm of War" adjusted the angle immediately and fired a round of light bullets at the image. Unfortunately, the sound of the light bullet penetrating the poisonous fog but not hitting the human body was not heard back.

Not here.

At the same moment, the sound of shotgun blasts rang out again—from another direction.

The "Guardian Tin Arm" was already on full alert, and the two "finger bullets" returned in vain.

Naturally, the "Iron Arm of War" retaliated with light bullets, but the cunning Lion Jie escaped first.

Five meters.

The sound of a heavy object breaking through the air came from behind my head.

Not knowing what it was and with her space to dodge blocked by the poisonous fog, Fiore chose the safest approach. She shot out the "Iron Arm of War", protected her vital points with the "Tin Arm of Protection" and the "Lead Arm of Thunder", and then activated the second "EIHWAZ" rune. This rune was made into a shell pendant and hung around Fiore's neck.

Fiore was very dissatisfied with the result of all the trouble she had gone through. What was broken was just a piece of stone, the same kind that was thrown down from the building by Lion Robbery.

Four meters.

After many unsuccessful attacks, Fiore relied on the fact that the protection of the "EIHWAZ" rune had not yet worn off, and increased the intensity of her attacks. Not only the "Iron Arm of War", but also the "Lead Arm of Thunder" joined in the shooting.

Although the four prosthetic limbs have different names and are usually used in different ways, they are actually exactly the same in design and structure, and can be switched freely for movement, attack, and defense - the names are just given by Fiore because of the different animal spirits sealed in and her personal interests.

The 360-degree sweep of the two metal arms seemed to really work, and a muffled groan reached Fiore's ears.

Although there was interference from the continuous firing of light bullets and the humming sound was very faint, Fiore still distinguished that it was the voice of Lion Jie. This discovery boosted Fiore's spirits, and the metal arm parallel to her shoulders swept more and more frantically.

Sadly, Fiore never heard Lionzhe's voice again.

Three meters.

This is an extremely important distance, and reaching this distance is basically equivalent to close combat. And this distance is also the current limit of Fiore's vision.

On the boundary between the field of vision and the poisonous fog, there was a black shadow. It was blurry at first, but became clear the next second - a black jacket.

It was Shizijie. Fiore clearly remembered that Shizijie was wearing a black jacket today. After confirming this, the magician girl gave an order, and the two metal arms merged into one, spewing out light bullets with maximum power.

The light bullet hit the black jacket without any suspense, blasted a hole in the black jacket, and then passed through.

Wait, went through

Yes, it went through. It was just a jacket floating in the poisonous mist, and there was no one behind the jacket!

not good!

Fiore's heart skipped a beat and she turned around abruptly - she finally saw Lion Jie himself, wearing only a single piece of clothing. Although he was sweating profusely, he still forced himself to hold his breath.

The necromancer who had successfully approached to within two meters gave a sinister smile, raised his gun and pulled the trigger.

Fiore's expression remained unchanged as she activated the "Guardian Tin Arm" that was guarding her side.

The finger bullet was caught and crushed by the metal arm the moment it was shot out. The "Guardian Tin Arm" continued to move forward, and the clenched fist smashed into Lion Jie's head.

Lion Jie bent his knees and lowered his body, his hair almost sticking to the metal arm.

At the moment when the "Guardian Tin Arm" was about to be retracted, the necromancer exerted force with his feet, shortening the distance between the two to one meter. This change happened in a flash, showing the powerful adaptability and superb fighting skills of Lion Jie, worthy of his name as a combat expert, and once again exceeded Fiore's calculations.

Fiore clearly saw that the Lion held a small bone blade in his hand. The tip of the bone blade exuded a heart-pounding breath of death, but she could not think of any way to resolve it. She could only hope that the defense of "EIHWAZ" was strong enough.

Of course, being unable to resolve the situation does not mean that you cannot do other things, such as attacking!

She poured all of her remaining magic power into her left hand, where a vicious evil spirit resided, which was also Fiore's strongest means of attack.

Don't be fooled by her weak appearance. When it comes time to be ruthless, she will never show mercy, whether to herself or to her enemies.
