Anyone who practices martial arts and has a little knowledge knows that the best way to deal with modern weapons is to get close.
This is due to the shortcomings of modern weapons. The single attack method makes firearms less effective at close range than cold weapons. Not to mention grenades, which are too powerful to be used at close range, unless you don't want to live and die together.
In Freddy's opinion, as long as he could get close enough, the battle would be half won.
Of course, he was not careless, nor did he underestimate the enemy. So far, he still had some strength left to deal with the enemy's backhand. He didn't believe that someone who could come all the way here would be defeated so easily.
The backhand appeared as expected.
The blue-haired, blue-eyed boy pulled his coat, revealing two submachine guns hidden inside, and started firing at the approaching magician.
Micro submachine guns, or SMGs, are typical weapons that trade quantity for quality. A single bullet is not very powerful, but when used in large numbers, it can still do terrible damage, especially at close range. Unless you are equipped with bulletproof gear or can block bullets with your body, you will end up being shot into a sieve.
Unfortunately, Freddy did not meet these two standards, so he was beaten into a sieve, and even the originally clear sword became dull.
No, why is the silver sword dim? When did the submachine gun become so brutal? And there is no blood - wait, where is the blood? Why is there no blood
That's right, there was no blood. At the moment of the submachine gun shooting, Freddy's figure instantly changed from a three-dimensional entity to a two-dimensional virtual entity, like a shadow on the ground, not affected by the laws of physics.
It's magic, it's Freddy's magic.
Airflow manipulation is just the basics, and any magician with a decent level of skill can perform it. What he is showing now is the essence of his magic that allows him to gain a foothold in the mysterious world, and it is also his greatest reliance on entering Fu Hailin.
He continued to move forward while maintaining his two-dimensional shadow, while the enemy retreated madly while pouring bullets on him.
The situation seemed to be at a stalemate, but this stalemate was only temporary. Neither magic power nor bullets were infinite, and they would eventually run out. The magazine of the submachine gun was obviously not as powerful as that of Freddy, a famous magician, and the situation was soon broken.
At the moment the last bullet passed through, Freddy changed from two dimensions back to three dimensions, and the long sword in his hand pierced straight into his throat.
The two-dimensional state is not affected by physical interference, so physical attacks cannot be used. Attacking magic at such a close distance is far less effective than the sword in your hand.
The enemy seemed a little panicked and rushed forward to block the sword.
But it was useless. Freddy's sword was specially made by alchemy, and the metal of the gun body could not stop the sharp edge of the sword and was pierced instantly.
The sword didn't stop and landed directly on Shinji's raised left arm.
The left arm should have the same fate as the submachine gun, and the chest would be next - that's what Freddy thought.
However, the reality is just the opposite.
The extremely sharp sword tip stopped after piercing the sleeve of the windbreaker, as if it had touched something hard.
At this moment, Shinji smiled, and the direction of his feet turned 90 degrees, from forward to backward, and his body changed from retreating to rushing forward. In Freddy's astonished eyes, he rushed into Freddy's arms and hit him hard in the lower abdomen with his right fist.
Although Freddy was shocked, he remained calm. He practiced one-handed sword and had also practiced many close combat techniques with his other hand. He opened his palm like a conditioned reflex to block the enemy's fist.
The fist was blocked, but the force from the fist could not be completely blocked.
The force was so great that it did not seem like the strength a human should have, but rather like that of a speeding car. Even Freddy's arms, which had been tempered and strengthened by magic, could not withstand it.
"Crack" "Crack", Freddy heard the sound of his left arm breaking.
Then it was his right hand. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the fist's invasion, Shinji continued his attack. His left arm, which was equipped with a divine spear and bow sword, slid down along the blade and crushed the right hand holding the sword with a grab.
The fight ended with a knee strike that literally knocked the renowned freelance magician to the ground.
"The conversation is over. It's my victory."
The boy seemed to sit casually beside Freddy, picked up the Thompson that fell to the ground with his right hand, which had delivered the crucial blow, and pointed the barrel of the gun at the magician's head.
"It's your victory, ahem."
Freddy's mouth was bleeding. Although he felt a little regretful, he accepted the reality very frankly.
Both of his hands were disabled, and his internal organs suffered a severe shock. The martial arts that he was proud of were destroyed. In this Fu Hailin where magic was completely suppressed, he had lost the possibility of continuing to fight.
"So, victor, what are you going to do with me, the loser?"
"No punishment, I'll let you go." Shinji said, moving the gun barrel away.
"Huh?"
"Are you surprised? Indeed, in the process of fighting for such a super secret treasure, it is common sense to kill all the enemies and leave no trouble behind."
"Then why did you let me go?"
"You should ask yourself, why did you aim at the lungs instead of the heart? You didn't want to kill me, and I don't want yours either. Isn't that fair? Besides, there's no bullet in the gun anymore."
The Thompson is a single-shot pistol that requires reloading after each shot.
Facing Shinji's question, Freddy gave a bitter smile.
"Maybe I just want you to become food for Fuhailin."
"How do you know I don't think so? Look, the blood you coughed up has already started to make the forest stir."
Shinji pointed his finger and saw that pairs of red eyes had appeared on the border between the Black Forest and the restricted area. They were the wild beasts raised by the forest.
Feeling the bloodthirsty eyes around him, Freddy knew he couldn't delay any longer and struggled to sit up.
"So—I'm leaving?"
"Hurry up and go, don't disturb my rest." Shinji waved his hand impatiently.
Soon, Freddy entered the two-dimensional state again, hiding in the shadows and able to escape at any time.
"Finally, can you answer a question for me - why do you rely on firearms when you have such strong power?"
"Have you become stupid from practicing martial arts? Or has your brain become muddled from studying magic? How dare you ask such an idiotic question?"
Shinji shook his head helplessly, looking at him as if he were an idiot.
"We are not competing in martial arts or studying magic. We are fighting for a secret treasure, so of course we have to use all our means. Guns and grenades are so useful, why not use them? What's the point of being so obsessed with the difference between magic and technology? Without these weapons, can I win so easily?"
In hand-to-hand combat, the gap between the two is not as big as it appears. In terms of swordsmanship alone, Freddy has an absolute advantage. In a real fight, without using treasures and magic, even if Shinji can win, it will take a long time.
But with the help of modern weapons, Shinji defeated Freddy in less than three minutes - this is a victory of thinking. Therefore, the traditional thinking of magicians should be changed.
In fact, there is no conflict between a magician and a magician. When researching, they should study carefully and rigorously, and when fighting, they should use them as tools without mercy. Who says that scientists who study weapons cannot use weapons
PS: Regarding the saying that the Dead Apostles deny human nature, this traitor went to confirm it. Currently, the Dead Apostles have clearly stated that they can deny all treasures created for humans. There is no explanation for technological weapons. According to "Tsukihime", firearms are effective against vampires. Although they can recover quickly, it is useful. You must know that even in "Tsukihime", where the Dead Apostles are extremely arrogant, the world is still ruled by humans.
