I like traveling the most

Due to Xiaolin's intentional move, the battlefield that was divided into two parts was quite far apart, and it almost became a trend not to disturb each other.

This is a good decision for everyone present.

But Ainz felt a little depressed.

I'm so concerned about the battlefield over there. Although Xiaolin said that he can easily deal with Clementine, I can't help but wonder if he is trying to show off his strength on purpose. I know that I have to give the opponent room to play at this time, but if I die just like that, I won't. alright.

So he kept looking into the distance.

When Khajit saw this, his withered face twitched and he said, "You dare to look around without paying attention when you are fighting against me. It seems that I have been underestimated."

However, what he didn't know was that Ainz had never taken him seriously from the beginning.

"Nabe...no, Narberal Gama."

"Yes, Lord Ainz!"

"Kill him."

"As you command!"

Ainz called her his full name, telling her that she didn't have to hold back and could use all his power before turning around and leaving.

No, he cares too much about that.

"...Haha?" Khajiit was stunned for a moment when he saw this, and said subconsciously: "What's going on? Did he leave you and run away?"

"Don't be ridiculous, lowly creature. Lord Ainz only needs to move his fingers to kill you. That Lord just has more important things to do." Nabe... No, Narberal Gamma The cloak on her lower body flashed away with light, and she appeared in front of her dressed as a battle maid, and then launched an attack without saying a word.

"-Double thunder and lightning!"

"Come out, Bone Dragon!"

The disciples around him all died in an instant. Khajiit, who felt something was wrong, did not hesitate and summoned his most capable helper.

It was a collection of human bones about three meters high, composed of countless human bones, imitating a mythical beast with a long neck, wings and four legs.

The bone dragon, which is absolutely resistant to magic, is a powerful enemy that makes the magic caster helpless!

"This is the price you pay for underestimating me!"

"Inferior creatures..."

Khajiit's wild laughter resounded in the night sky, and Narberal Gama clicked her tongue in displeasure, embarrassing herself in front of the Supreme Being. She had already thought of how to delay the other party.

boom----

The huge body of the bone dragon shook the ground. Even if the darkness obscured its three-meter-tall figure, the sound still attracted the attention of another battlefield.

"Is that... a bone dragon?"

"Hehehe, that's right, it's a bone dragon."

Xiao Lin's soft murmur was still heard, and Clementine immediately responded with teasing and ridicule.

"I don't understand why you have to choose me. As a priest, Master Lin obviously has an advantage against Khajiit, and that mighty warrior probably won't be at a disadvantage against me. Could it be that Master Lin is Do you like me so much that you force yourself? Or... because of what I did, I couldn't suppress my feelings and wanted to avenge those people in a rage? "

Clementine is a talkative person who likes to use words to stir up other people's emotions. She also likes to see others become angry because of the evil things she has done. Xiao Lin realized this two years ago.

"That's why I chose you."

"……What?"

"Before coming to the fortress city, I definitely didn't do it for personal reasons, but now... I'm angry."

"Haah - you... you still haven't grown in the past two years."

After Clementine successfully aroused Xiao Lin's emotions, instead of showing a twisted smile, she looked like she was extremely disappointed.

"Is that really okay? If you let that warrior fight Khajiit for your own selfish desires, he will die."

"I believe Mr. Momo. He will win because he told me so."

"Huh?!"

Clementine spoke subconsciously.

In the dark, Ainz looked a little dazed after hearing these words. Although they were just slightly ordinary words, he saw the shadow of his friends from the game era in Xiao Lin.

"Boring trust."

The woman with a cute face became angry. She squinted her eyes and showed an unhappy expression for the first time.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter. Anyway, even if Khajiit loses, I will win in the end. Just watch me and I'll finish you off in a few strikes."

"You seem confident?"

"I shouldn't be the one to say this. A mere magic caster, even a faith-based specialist, can't defeat me, and there are no warriors in this kingdom who can defeat me. No, there are almost no warriors who can defeat me. ”

Clementine's confidence was not unfounded.

In this kingdom, there were only five people, including Gazef, who could fight her, even if she gave up the magic items given by the Theocracy.

This is the self-confidence of those who step into the realm of heroes.

"I see... But I also want to tell you that a true master must have the heart of an apprentice, otherwise he will accidentally trip over a pebble on the roadside and break his head and bleed."

"Thank you, Mr. Lin, for your thoughtful advice, but what I can tell is that this pebble will definitely not be you!"

The smooth-tongued Clementine looked like an old god was here, and the frivolous smile on her face showed that she was definitely not exaggerating, and it would be easy and pleasant to deal with a magic caster like Xiaolin.

Clementine's weapon is a thrusting type. Unlike slashing weapons, it does not have a variety of attack methods. It is only a weapon that is strengthened for thrusting. Moreover, the slender structure of the short cone is not strong enough to fight violently with weapons such as long swords, so she said that Momo is a warrior who restrains her style.

And Clementine, who has a short-handled weapon, must fight in close combat if she wants to attack.

"Why, you don't want to attack?"

"I'll come right away."

Hearing Xiaolin's invitation, she slowly changed her posture, which was very close to the squat start posture, but her body was standing, so she looked very strange.

Although it looked a little ridiculous, it was definitely not a posture that could be taken lightly. Xiaolin could feel that huge energy was stored in her slender waist.

Then——

After Xiaolin spread out the silk thread defense, Clementine came towards him like a spring that was squeezed to the bottom and then released.

The speed was unbelievable!

Ainz, who was peeping from a distance, widened his eyes. He was running unbelievably with his extraordinary physical strength.

Like a storm swallowing everything in an instant, Clementine appeared in front of him in the blink of an eye, and with the same agility, she dived into Xiaolin's arms, as if she was in the arms of a lover.

Faced with the swift movement like a spirit snake out of a hole, Ainz was nervous, but Xiaolin leaned back calmly, and at the same time, his right hand hooked the silk thread to form a sharp net, and pounced on Clementine in mid-air.

In less than a moment, the woman's smile became more distorted.

"——The Fortress will not fall."

She forcibly fixed her body, exerted force in mid-air, turned her body at an incredible angle, and quickly smashed the sharp net in front of her with the short cones in her hands, and then stabbed it down hard!

Ding!

Sporadic fire flashed in the dark night, but the crisp sound of the collision spread far away.

The woman's attack speed was very fast, and she exerted her agility to the extreme. Combining the momentum of running at full speed with the strength of the whole body, and using the center of gravity to make a blow, it can be described as a meteor.

But it wasn't over yet. As the sharp sound of flashing metal colliding rang out in the cemetery, Xiaolin kicked her in the lower abdomen, and then the two distanced themselves.

"Not bad, you couldn't take this move before."

"After all, I can grow up too."

Xiaolin raised his hands.

It turned out that he had woven a pair of gloves with silk threads just now, barely resisting Clementine's desperate attack.

Even so, Xiaolin was beaten and fled two years ago, but now he can barely keep up with her speed.

"I'll just admit that you've grown a little bit."

"Thank you. But Clementine, you don't seem to have made any progress in the past two years."

"...What did you say? You don't think that's all my strength, do you?"

"Isn't it? It's because you haven't made any progress for a long time that the family prefers your brother, and then you ran away in anger... Like a loser, you ran away in disgrace. Oh, yeah, you stole the secret treasure, didn't you think of proving yourself or something like that? No, no, no, that's a reckless thing that a child who lacks love would do. Miss Clementine, who has entered the realm of heroes, wouldn't do that, right?"

"You bastard...!"

The woman's expression completely collapsed at this time.

In the past, she always relied on words to tease the enemy to gain the upper hand, but this time, Xiaolin poked her sore spot, so naturally she couldn't hold it anymore.

Clementine was extremely angry, her voice trembling and excited. She leaned down again and said, "I don't know where you got this information from, but... I'm going to make you pay for provoking me. For example, I'll take off your eyes and keep them as collections, tear off your limbs, and then turn you into an undead and stuff you into a toilet!"

"If you can do it, please do as you please."

Kobayashi's words were like a provocation.

That's it, this attitude of not caring, this attitude of feeling that she was disappointed and dispensable, it was really annoying!

After taking a deep breath, Clementine made the same weird forward leaning posture as before, and Kobayashi opened his hands again to lay a blocking net in front of him.

Seeing him do this, Clementine sneered.

Then, he rushed over again with a spring-like posture, so fast that Ainz, who had amazing dynamic vision, could hardly catch him. If he hadn't sprinted in a straight line, he might have escaped from her sight.

Facing the woman's stinger sprinting at full speed, Kobayashi hooked his fingers to shrink the net more densely.

Unfortunately, it was useless. It couldn't stop even for a second. Clementine's waving hands tore the net to pieces. In front of people who have entered the realm of heroes, ordinary silk threads are still not enough.

In the blink of an eye, Clementine stepped into the attack range and then stabbed the short spike in her hand.

Kobayashi didn't hesitate. His upper body still leaned back, and his hooked fingers rushed towards her again, just like before.

"——The Fortress of No Fall."

However, the difference this time was that after bouncing off the sharp net, Clementine launched another martial art again.

"Water speeds up!"

It was as if time was controlled in a slow space, as if falling into a highly viscous liquid, and all movements became sluggish and slow.

But it wasn't over yet! In order to prevent Kobayashi from using silk threads to wrap his hands again to block her martial arts, Clementine used two more martial arts.

"Super penetration! Lightning strike!"

The fierce airflow gathered at the tip of the short cone, and the sharp wind tore off the tips of Xiaolin's scattered hair, and a strong tingling sensation climbed up his skin.

The distance between the two is very close.

It's a pity that there is no woman's fragrance and sweet smile, but the full smell of blood and twisted laughter, as if she is about to succeed, a cheerful smile.

Xiaolin's sky-blue eyes condensed, and his hands made a triangle shape with his fingertips facing each other, and then a water-blue light curtain was formed instantly, and at the same time, Clementine was bounced away.

The two sides once again distanced themselves.

At the same time, the rumbling in the distance and the appearance of smoke seemed to have heated up the battle.

"Oh, it looks like the fight is getting hot over there too."

"After all, Mr. Momo is tougher. On the other hand, it's time for us to be more enthusiastic, right?"

"You bastard, don't you think I used all my strength?"

"How could it be possible? Miss Clementine may have more powerful martial arts skills. Come on, please use them to your heart's content."

Clementine narrowed her eyes.

She had to admit that the man in front of her had grown so fast that it took less than two years to catch up with her when she entered the realm of heroes. Moreover, she had not forgotten that the man in front of her was a priest, but he only used one magic now!

"I don't know where you got your confidence from, but I regret it a bit."

"regret?"

"I wish I had ignored the Theocracy's obstruction and killed you directly."

"...Is it possible, I mean possible, that the Theocracy protected you in the first place?"

"Your mouth is as hard as your turtle shell."

Clementine was referring to the blue light curtain that blocked her attack just now. If it hadn't been for blocking the stabbing attack at the critical moment, Xiaolin would have had his imagination run wild.

"Is that turtle shell your support? Well, let's see if I don't poke it to pieces!"

With this pair of magic weapons in hand that can store different magics to deal with different enemies, she has this confidence.

"Blast breaking, super evasion, ability improvement, ability super improvement."

Use four martial arts skills at once.

Clementine decided to fight quickly. If possible, she wanted to decide the outcome with one move. The longer it dragged on, the worse it would be for her. For some reason, she had a strong feeling.

Slowly squat down and hold the short cone.

Xiaolin has not used martial arts yet, and even only used one magic. She may use dozens of tactics when she knows that the enemy is her, but Clementine is confident that she can defeat them all.

The speed is faster than before, the impact is stronger than before, once she gets close, it only takes three seconds to poke the man in front of her into a rag!

Thinking this way, a twisted and crazy smile appeared on Clementine's face. However, what she didn't expect was that the man smiled in triumph instead.

Why... why are you laughing?

Clementine was very uneasy inside, but she was also in a state where she had to shoot.

Shaking his head, he brushed away the uneasiness.

Use your legs hard, tighten your waist, and release all your strength!

Whoosh——

The sound of breaking the air followed.

Xiao Lin didn't dodge, he opened his mouth slightly and uttered two words. Even though Clementine didn't hear it, she still knew what these two words were.

--madness.

An Axis Cultist will not be defeated by the same move three times. Xiao Lin, who has seen him three times, has completely seen through the opponent's weaknesses.

Clementine is very fast, even Xiao Lin has to admit that she is the fastest among all the strong people he has ever seen, and she is worthy of the name of [Wind Breaking].

However, she has a fatal flaw, that is, she cannot change the direction of progress. Even though Xiaolin's obstruction just now was easier to avoid at least slightly, Clementine still chose to go on a rampage.

But this is of course.

Turning will reduce speed and the impact on the enemy will be greatly attenuated. Therefore, in order to maintain a suppressive style, Clementine would rather choose troublesome counterattacks and blocks than turning to reduce speed.

But this is her flaw, the faster the speed, the harder it is to control, and the higher the reaction requirements.

Once blocked...

Xiao Lin moved her fingers, and a stone came towards her face very quickly at a tricky angle.

"Jing knows how to play tricks!"

Clementine's eyes widened and her pupils shrank to the extreme, which meant that she was highly concentrated.

"Don't fall into the fortress!"

She raised her short awl to flick away the stone that was in the way.

Xiao Lin didn't give her a chance. He moved his fingers again, and another pebble flew from another place, but the target was not her face, but the pebble that was about to be blocked.

Snap!

The collision between stones caused the stone that was hit to change its angle and fly towards her face again, and the force made it fly faster than before, so it had to be intercepted at a faster speed.

"Don't underestimate me!"

Clementine waved her right arm and forcibly knocked the stone down. At this time, she had the door wide open.

What she didn't notice was that the stone she had fallen on happened to be on the way forward. After stepping on it, her footing became unstable, causing her to fall forward as she hugged the ground with her arms wide open.

Immediately behind, there was a silver-white awl emerging from the earth, taking advantage of it and heading towards it. With a pop, it penetrated into Clementine's head, making her think wildly.

"Look, I just said be careful not to trip over the pebbles under your feet."

Unfortunately, she couldn't hear Xiaolin's advice.
