As if angered by the female magician's arrogant attitude, Araya Souren, who was only a body length away from her, shouted loudly, punched out with both fists in succession, and his eyes were wide open, looking like the Dharma Protector Vajra in Buddhist legend.
The King Kong's eyes are furious, slaying demons and eliminating evil.
Unfortunately, the female magician is not a demon, she is even scarier than a demon.
No matter how much strength Araya used or how many punches he threw, she blocked them all. Every punch was accurately intercepted, and the most lethal part of the fist always landed on the softest part of the palm, without exception, as if she had foreseen the future.
While fending off Araya's fist, the female magician did not forget about Roa on the other side.
"—Iron Arm of War, firing order."
With a command, the steel claw structure at the front end of the mechanical arm that blocked Roa's knife flipped outward, revealing a black hole, and spewed out light bullets at a speed comparable to that of a submachine gun.
Roa did not dare to be careless. He exerted force with his feet, moving sideways at a speed faster than the mechanical arm, while aiming his hands at Kallen and activating lightning magic.
However, all this was within the expectations of the female magician.
"—The Tin Arm of Guard, the Order of Attack, the Order of Grab."
Another metal arm stretched out from the ground, intercepted the lightning in the rising dust, and then wrapped around Kallen's body.
"—Thundering Lead Arm, grab the command."
At the same time, a third metal arm stretched out and grabbed Xier.
"—Full Arm Move, Return to Dress!"
Finally, three metal arms moved towards the direction of the female magician at the same time.
Of course, Roa was unwilling to let go of the prey that was right in front of him, so he released magic with his hands, stomped on the ground with his feet, and started chasing with the "live step" technique.
However, at this time, Xiel had already completed his resurrection, and his body returned to its peak state. He used the four great burial methods of earth, water, fire and wind in turn without regard for consumption, overwhelming Roa's magic with absolute numbers and magical power.
As for Kotomine Kirei's proud "live steps", they were interrupted just after they began - by the fourth mechanical arm. No matter how exquisite the steps are, they need to be firmly on the ground to be performed. If the feet are not stable, no matter how exquisite the steps are, they cannot be performed.
There was a fourth mechanical arm hidden under the first landing point that Roa chose. How could he chase them? He could only watch Xiyeer and Kallen get farther and farther away, and finally escape from his control.
Realizing that he couldn't defeat the female magician with his fists alone, Araya resorted to his old tricks, chanting rhymes while circles extended outward from his feet. Within the range of the barrier, everything would be affected by the concept of "stillness", which could be described as one of the most shameless techniques in close combat.
The simulated rotating ring touched the female magician's body, and then the ring disintegrated.
"!!!"
Araya's face twitched, and the hand that was driving the barrier trembled slightly.
Just like the previous magic attack, Araya Sōren's barrier, which was always effective, suddenly collapsed without any sign at the moment when it was supposed to take effect. Naturally, the strategy of using the barrier to interfere with the female magician's actions and kill her also failed.
What's worse is that during the time the barrier was being cast, the four strange mechanical arms had already circled back to Fiore and were attaching to her body from behind.
It was not until this time that he and Roa saw the true form of the mechanical arm hidden underground. It was a spider-like ceremonial outfit, the spider's body was a backpack half the height of a person, and the spider's legs were the four offensive and defensive mechanical arms that had caused Roa a lot of trouble.
"Now, there are no distractions."
Standing on the ground with two feet, two pairs of mechanical arms extending from her shoulders and waist, the female magician, who looked like a real-life version of Dr. Octopus, spoke calmly. Although her face was covered by a black veil, one could still feel the firm gaze behind her.
"Protect yourselves, I'm about to attack."
The moment the declaration was made, the robotic arms on his shoulders began to spit out light bullets, and the two robotic arms on his waist touched the ground at the same time, moving forward in coordination with his feet.
The woman's steps were not fast, and there was no pattern to her steps. It was obvious that she had not received any training in footwork, and could not compare with masters of oriental martial arts like Araya and Kotomine Kirei. But with the assistance of two mechanical arms, the effect was completely different.
No matter how stable the lower body of the two legs is, it is not as stable as the robotic arm that can be directly inserted into the ground.
No matter how fast your two legs run, they can't be faster than the catapult of a robotic arm.
What was even more terrifying was the female magician's ability to predict, which was too accurate. Almost every step was within her expectations, and with the mechanical arm that was much more flexible than her body, she made Araya and Roa extremely uncomfortable. If it weren't for a few harmless mistakes, the two would even think that she had eyes of the same level as the "Mystic Eyes of Death Perception", which was said to be the ultimate future vision that could see through the long river of fate.
It was precisely because of these small mistakes that the two did not choose to escape. They were fully confident in the battle of attrition and protracted warfare, and as time went on, small mistakes would slowly accumulate into big mistakes, ultimately affecting the outcome of the battle.
Just like now!
Araya's body glowed with golden light, and he used his strong body that was difficult to be destroyed even by the "Seventh Holy Scripture" to suppress the four mechanical arms with the purest power. Taking advantage of this gap, Roa exerted the superhuman speed of a dead apostle, flashed behind the female magician in an instant, and stabbed her in the back with a knife.
The female magician quickly turned around, grabbed Roa's arm with one hand, and hit his abdomen with the other.
This was the moment Roa had been waiting for. The female magician's response was correct, as standard as a textbook, and this was also the female magician's fighting style.
It is precisely because of this that the enemy has an opportunity to take advantage. After all, textbooks focus on rigor and universality and rarely consider special circumstances. Roa, on the other hand, possesses a special power that breaks the rules—his eyes.
He could see lines that ordinary people could not see, and if he cut along the lines, no matter how solid the part was, it would be easily cut. His target was not the back at all, but the arm of the female magician. As long as the dagger touched the line a little bit, the arm would suffer irreversible trauma, which was a trauma that could not be cured by ordinary healing magic.
As for the hand that hit his abdomen, Roa didn't take it seriously at all. With the recovery ability of the Dead Apostles, it won't take long for him to recover. Even if he takes a punch from you, he will cut off one of your arms.
I take your arm, and your life.
The vampire who was punched in the stomach grinned, twirled the dagger, and slashed at the female magician's arm with backhand speed, leaving no room for dodging.
However, at the moment when the dagger was about to touch the "line" of the ear on the arm, Roa's expression suddenly became distorted, as if he was in great pain. He staggered in pain, couldn't even hold the dagger steadily, and his voice began to tremble in pain.
"Uhhh—you, are you—"
PS: Regarding Roa’s eyes, the official setting is that they were obtained after experiencing many life and death experiences, but it does not say that they cannot be inherited.
