Heroic Spirit: I, Shinji, have tried my best.

With a "puff" sound, a disheveled figure escaped from the mushroom cloud.

The girl's beautiful green hair was covered with a layer of dust. The black sleeves on her arms were evaporated by the previous attack. The girl covered the wound on her shoulder and fled at an astonishing speed.

Azriel glanced at the Ex-Machina chasing closely behind her, and in addition to anger, she also felt a strong sense of frustration...

She had clearly hidden at the doorstep to use her ultimate, but was suddenly pulled into the enemy's encirclement for no apparent reason... What kind of ability is this? How come she didn't know that the Ex-Machinas had this ability?

"hu~hu~"

A fierce wind blew past her ears. Azriel looked back and saw that the Ex-Machina pursuers had been pulled away by her. She breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as she doesn't fight and only wants to escape, no matter how many Ex-Machinas there are, they won't be able to catch up with her... But if she dares to find out the damn person who plotted against her, she will make him feel a life worse than death!

"Huh... there shouldn't be any pursuers after escaping here, right?"

Azriel saw that everyone behind her had been thrown off, so she covered her chest and hid behind a rock, nervously observing the movements around her.

“I’m so ashamed to be forced into this situation by a bunch of idiots… But when I get back, I will…”

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Several huge arrows burning with black flames instantly pierced through the area where the girl was. Then, with a loud "boom", a small hill was directly turned into a pile of rubble...

But Azriel's figure reappeared in the air. The girl looked madly at the direction where the arrow came from, with bulging blue veins on her white forehead.

Can't these guys let her finish a sentence?!

And she had clearly gotten rid of the other person, so why could this broken iron shell still catch up with her?

Her blue and gold pupils looked at the source of the attack, but there was no sign of anyone except a pile of rocks. With insufficient intelligence, she did not dare to engage in a fight with the other party rashly. She planned to return to the base first and inform others about the strange existence...

“Swoosh…swoosh!”

“…Come again!?”

A space wormhole suddenly opened in front of her, and Azriel immediately jumped between the wormholes, avoiding the arrows coming from another direction.

"The position has changed... and there is no fluctuation of any [Spirited Ark]!?"

“…How is this possible!?”

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Before the girl could think, several arrows were shot from another direction. This time she was unable to dodge them completely and was hit in the thigh by the arrow with black flames. The flames immediately spread along her thigh to her waist.

“Ahhh! It’s so hot, so hot…eh? It doesn’t seem that hot.”

Azriel felt something was wrong when she saw the speed at which the flames spread. She thought it was a new killer move invented by the Ex-Machinas, so she subconsciously used all her strength to activate the [Elf Corridor] to protect herself.

After a while, she realized that the flames didn't seem to cause much damage to her, except that her already damaged clothes were completely burned...

"What... It turns out that they are not that powerful, but if it were a group of Ex-Machinas, how could they use such an attack that cannot kill..."

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Several more arrows flew from behind, but this time the girl did not dodge immediately. Instead, she activated her brain in a rare moment:

The enemy didn't look like an Ex-Machina, but the attacks came from all directions, and the attacks were attacks I had never seen before without spirit waves... Also, the previous ones were something I had never seen before...

"!"

A black energy ball was generated from the girl's hand, and then thrown at the arrows. With a "bang", it destroyed the arrow at the front, and also deflected the direction of the remaining attacks, which shot past her naked body...

"Okay, okay...I got it!"

Azriel's eyes were filled with flames. At this moment, her IQ seemed to have reached its peak. Simple and direct logical reasoning allowed her to instantly find her next goal:

“…You bastard, you’re the one who tricked me!”

"So what if you guessed it!"

"!?"

Azriel suddenly heard the voice of a strange man behind her, and she thought to herself that something was wrong. Sure enough, she saw a black spear coming from behind her...

"Pfft!"

The angel-like white body was instantly covered with scarlet blood. Azriel quickly stepped aside and cautiously stared at the man who suddenly appeared in front of her...

"…Damn bastard! Dancing around like a ghost…"

A wound was stabbed in her waist, and blood flowed down her legs to her toes and dripped downwards, killing a random vampire with its mouth open...

[It was really thrilling. I almost got stuck here...]

Azriel pressed the wound on her waist with some fear. She could clearly feel the opponent's attack coming straight at her chest!

Logically speaking, she had no time to dodge due to the time difference, but when the attack was about to hit her vital point, for some reason, the opponent seemed to hesitate for a moment, and it was this flaw that allowed her to escape...

At the same time, she was also looking at the bastard in front of her who had tricked her countless times... strange eyes, strange dress, strange abilities... he seemed to be a rather mysterious guy.

On the other side, unlike the girl who was happy after surviving the disaster, Shinji frowned and felt sad that he would fail at the critical moment...

[I didn’t expect that I would be disturbed by something like this. It seems that I still lack practice…]

Shinji was full of helplessness. Being discovered by the opponent was already beyond his plan, but it was still within his expectations. He could still kill the enemy by piercing him with the Truth-Seeking Jade at that moment.

However, he still overestimated his own character...or those two dazzling things would distract any normal human male.

After all, the Flügel were created under the condition of "Perfection", and their body proportions and everything else are at the top level...

"Ok?"

Azrael noticed the other party’s strange gaze and lowered her head to look at her naked body. An ambiguous smirk gradually appeared on her face:

"Eh! What? It seems like you care a lot about this thing?"

As the girl spoke, she twisted her body deliberately. The two large balls jumping up and down made Shinji's movements noticeably stiff.

"Hahahaha! You're pretty cute, aren't you?"

The girl laughed as if she had discovered a new world, holding her belly. There was no shame on her face, only contempt for the inferior creature in front of her and eyes filled with murderous intent...

"Tsk... Are you a race without any sense of shame? But if I can't kill you in one go, I'll try again."

After saying that, Shinji threw out the black gun that the Tōdōma in his hand had transformed into, then took out a long sword and rushed forward.

Azriel also lost her fear of the unknown after seeing the other party's embarrassing appearance just now, and rushed forward without hesitation.

The two men moved towards each other at a rapid speed. A few tenths of a second after they attacked at the same time, a fierce flame burst out from the intersection of their weapons...

[Is it that black sickle again? But the power is... not good! ]

Shinji's face turned ugly. His own power was actually suppressed unilaterally!

Even though he was injured, he was able to fight Jibril in close combat before, but he didn't expect that he couldn't even last a second against this green-haired guy this time...

The brain predicted the danger, and the body took action instinctively. He freed one hand and opened it to the face of the Flügel girl opposite him, releasing an invisible repulsive force against her face:

"Shinra Tenzheng!"

The next moment, the two men who had just been fighting in close combat instantly rushed back to their original positions. In this confrontation, Shinji was clearly at a disadvantage.

But... now it seems that except for hand-to-hand combat, his other abilities can hardly cause effective damage... As expected, fighting now still seems a bit difficult...

It was obvious that he had been misleading the other party from the beginning, making her think that there was an ambush here, thus leading her to the real ambush site.

But in the end, this plan was discovered...or in other words, the other party didn't seem as smart as he thought?

He had suffered so many losses, but he still dared to charge forward without knowing the enemy's capabilities... How is this different from a reckless man?
