Lost Narrative Poetry

Let fate decide everything...

I will not show mercy. If the other party cannot stop the two of me, then the only way is to adopt a conservative plan. In this case, there will be no accidents. No matter what the truth is, at least Index will Able to survive.

Steele Magnus listened to the movement on the street at the end of the distance, without looking over there. He just slowly reached out to take off the cigarette from his mouth, and flicked it to the side with his finger.

The movement was very slow and pretentious, and as the cigarette flew out horizontally with sparks, it drew an obvious arc trajectory in the air and hit the wall next to it.

"Kenaz (fire)──"

The red-haired delinquent priest whispered softly and spoke an unknown spell, and the flaming magician began to exercise the mysterious power.

The next moment, an orange line followed closely behind the cigarette and exploded with a bang. It was like filling a fire hose with gasoline and then lighting it on fire. A straight sword of flames appeared. It was not just the sudden increase in temperature in the air, or the burning sensation on the face.

Even if you just use your eyes to confirm, you can feel the astonishing high temperature of the flame sword and the huge heat contained in it. Without touching it, just looking at it with your eyes will give you the illusion that your eyes are going to be burned.

"Is this... magic?"

Saten Ruiko murmured to herself, not knowing what she was thinking of. There was a strange light in her eyes, and the brown-haired girl next to her also obviously looked strange.

"──Purisaz Naupiz Gebo (The gift of pain to giants)!"

The flame magician didn't pay attention, he just waved the flame sword and launched an attack. The battle on Kanzaki's side had already begun, and he had to start fighting as well.

Then, in the next moment, he saw blue-white lightning and pure white light beams visible to the naked eye roaring towards him!

…

…

"Damn it, what kind of monster is this?"

Kanzaki Kaori tried his best to calm down, but he still couldn't avoid the cold feeling in his heart, especially when he saw the young man opposite standing leisurely, not putting on any posture, but not willing to waste a moment. He seemed to be using up all his strength while holding the two-meter-long sword.

Can't win.

Instinct was warning her, and the dilapidated and desolate condition of the entire street, which was like a doomsday ruins, was also warning her.

That is... no matter what, conventional means will never defeat the opponent in front of you.

powerful! too strong! Like a monster beyond human limits!

It is simply crushing in all aspects, without any weaknesses. No matter what aspect of mind, skill or body, it is explosively powerful!

Whether it is mental strength, physical strength, or skills, they are all at their peak... So, where did such a monster come from in this scientific city? At such an age, it is understandable that his intuitive power is strong. After all, there are many examples in this city.

Each of those fourteen-year-old or fifteen-year-old minors, because of the so-called ability development on the scientific side, had strategic power that could easily fight against the army at a young age.

Something like a "billion-volt lightning strike". It is said that its firepower is comparable to that of a cruiser, and this is the power that a fourteen-year-old girl can wield at will. If it were not in this crazy city, Who dares to believe it?

Naturally, she had done her homework before coming here and knew some basic information about superpowers.

But, skill is completely different from the concept of strength. It is not a simple matter of numerical value, but the accumulation of experience and insights over many years... Kanzaki Kaori can reach this level at this age only because of her He is a "saint".

He was born with a magical mark similar to that of the "Son of God", which is the so-called stigmata. It is precisely because the "Saints" have similar physical characteristics to the "Son of God" that they gain part of the power of the "Son of God" and can freely manipulate that power.

So strictly speaking, Kanzaki Kaori relies on strength rather than skills. At least the proportion of the latter is actually relatively small.

But the person in front of me was really brave. He caught the moment before she was about to release "Wei Shan" and used "Knifeless Take", which is a skill at the level of ordinary people, with incomparable precision. He took away her Seven Days and Seven Swords!

Is he that confident? You must know that your reaction time is as fast as one hundredth of a second to engage in offensive and defensive battles. If there is a problem in any link, it will be equivalent to this person taking the initiative to use his body to hit him. The killing sword technique.

If she thinks about it carefully, Kanzaki Kaori even thinks that no one in the world can survive such a situation where she takes the initiative to take risks. After all, there are magicians or "saints" who are stronger than her, but if she takes the initiative If the strongest blow he could use his body to meet with her didn't hurt...

Is that a god or an angel?

"Are you ready? It's my turn now!"

The young man opposite laughed heartily. He gently held the handle of the two-meter-long Seven Heavens and Seven Knives, as if there was no movement, but only a slight "ding" was heard.

"...!!"

The girl "Saint"'s pupils suddenly contracted. She was too familiar with this sound, or too skilled. In just a short moment, she quickly completed a set of actions such as unsheathing and sheathing the sword, thus making a sound. the sound of.

In fact, he didn’t draw the sword at all, he just pulled the sword out of the scabbard slightly and then pushed it back——

The purpose of the action of drawing a sword is mainly to distract and attract the enemy's attention. For example, when a magician performs magic, he uses some small movements on the surface as a cover to attract the attention of the audience, so as to facilitate the completion of operations in other places. , showing magical effects.

The principle is basically the same. Kanzaki's sword-drawing movement serves as a cover for the hand that manipulates the wires. The slashes produced by manipulating the seven wires tear apart the opponent at an invisible speed, causing everything in front of him to burst like clay. , can be said to be a very terrifying move.

So, what is the reason for the other party to imitate themselves and repeat their same tricks?

There was a loud noise, making the feet tremble like an earthquake! In just a moment, the opponent's slash had already struck!

It was like a huge laser light flashed, and then the air in front of her was ruthlessly torn apart. The streets that were originally full of desolation were once again wreaked, with "tearing" coming from all irregular angles. The broken ground stretched for tens of meters and was plowed again.

"Tsk, tsk, your reaction is pretty fast, you didn't even hit it at all..."

Xia Ran blinked, as if he was surprised to express such admiration. If his tone was not too bland and lacked much emotion, as if he was reading the lines very well, it would be very convincing.

"...What the hell are you doing?"

Kanzaki Kaori, who seemed unscathed and somehow managed to dodge the attack just now, stared at him with wide eyes, feeling a strong sense of shame.

The attack just now was nothing. Even the speed could kill seven times in an instant, so it was called "instant kill". For Kanzaki Kaori, it was just that, because it was one of her signature skills. one.

They are so similar, so similar...I can't say they are not related, I can only say they are exactly the same.

At that moment, she even had the absurd illusion that she had been attacked by another self. Otherwise, there was no way to explain why such a strange situation occurred——

Not only was the weapon taken away by the opponent, but the opponent also used his own weapon and his own moves to retaliate in kind?

It was because there was no threat that Kanzaki Kaori felt ashamed. The other party definitely did it on purpose!

"Learn your moves. This is a tribute. Do you understand the tribute..." Xia Ran replied matter-of-factly, "They say I also know a little bit about swordsmanship. Look at my learning ability. Do you have it?" What about persuasion?”

"..."

"..."

There was silence.

"I understand, this is also an illusion, right?" Kanzaki Kaori suddenly spoke in a low voice, with a hint of sudden realization in his eyes.

"ha?"

The magician raised his eyebrows, what the hell is the illusion? He just wants to show respect for her, so he chooses melee combat. He is obviously a mage-type character, with fragile skin and weak blood and low strength. Melee attacks are weak. It's like scraping, it's already very difficult for yourself, okay?

But the other party still thinks that he used illusion roguely. What is the reason for this?

"Yes, I don't know how you did it, but I must have fallen into your mental hallucination from the beginning..." the girl said calmly, staring straight at him with her cold eyes, "So That's why such a ridiculous thing happened. You were able to take away my knife and copy my attack, but it was precisely because of the latter that the truth was exposed..."

That's right, how could this person learn his own tricks in an instant and reproduce them?

Taking a step back, even if it can be done, how can it be completely consistent with my own performance without any deviation?

The only explanation is that all of this is an illusion. The other party can simulate all senses and perceptions so realistically that it is difficult for her to distinguish them. However, this illusion also has the disadvantage that it is also limited by the cognition of the person who created the illusion.

Therefore, this person did not master his own skills at all, but he only saw his own skills - perhaps the information received through his own mental fluctuations - and then restored the corresponding scene exactly the same, and carried out simulation.

Because he only knows this, he can only copy and paste completely in the hallucination, so that it will appear exactly the same!

At this moment, the girl felt that there was only one truth!

"..."

"..."

"You have quite a rich imagination." Xia Ran sighed, so is this one of the negative consequences of strong mental abilities?

No matter what, you can't prove your innocence. As long as the other party suffers a loss once, it will leave a psychological shadow, and when the other party continues to suffer a loss, they will immediately think of this reason, because there is a good one. excuse.

It's not that I don't work hard, it's that the enemy has made another mistake!

"Isn't it?" The girl stared at him coldly.

"Oh, let me show you..." The magician directly picked up the long sword in his hand and showed a kind smile, "What are the basic qualities of a magic swordsman."

"Didn't you say it belonged to the mage before?" Kanzaki Kaori chuckled, but her eyes were not smiling. Although she had seen through all this was an illusion, she still had no idea how to get rid of the illusion.

Maybe the knife is actually still in his hand...

Maybe the street wasn't destroyed...

perhaps……

But no matter what, she couldn't do anything now. At least in the hallucination, she really couldn't tell the truth from the false, and she couldn't confirm whether it was real or not.

"What are you thinking about? If you are still in a daze at this time, you will die...

The wind roared, and there was a flash of shining sword light. Kanzaki Kaori reacted in time and narrowly avoided this move. She looked up in shock and saw the magician casually waving two meters with one hand. The long sword pressed forward step by step.

His posture was very casual, with no lingering combos or flowing movements, just a simple and steady manner, slashing at him one after another.

"...!!"

However, Kanzaki Kaori broke down in cold sweat instantly.

It was such a simple move, but she couldn't find a chance to counterattack at all. Not to mention copying the opponent's tactics just now, using the technique of grabbing without a knife or grabbing the blade with bare hands. Even a slight hesitation when dodging would be dangerous.

With a strict look and a wide range of movements, she felt like she was returning to her original nature. Every knife was aimed at her head. As long as she found an opening, she would cut it directly without hesitation!

However, Kanzaki Kaori was constantly being forced back, and she felt like she could not breathe. She was even shocked to realize that her gap was being closed continuously. As the opponent's sword light attacked with each move, she pulled At close range and occupying space, she was almost left with the option of constantly dodging left and right.

It is impossible to make any other choice, otherwise, her head will be chopped off - the sword is neither fast nor slow, it can even be said to be somewhat leisurely, it is weaving into a deadly web, trapping her as a prey. It was tightly bound in it and began to tighten little by little.

Regardless of whether this was an illusion or not, she didn't dare to be stabbed straight up like this.

Besides, is this really an illusion?

Kanzaki Kaori felt that the so-called "truth" he had just discerned was cracking and gradually shattering.

This is something he cannot do, and it is impossible for the other party to push himself to this point by simply reproducing the scene he has seen before. The only explanation is that this is the other party's true swordsmanship ability, majestic Unparalleled skills!

"That's it—"

The other party's plain words made the girl's heart skip a beat.

The next moment, the sharp tip of the Seven Heavens and Seven Swords gently paused on her delicate chin, lifting up her beautiful face that was trembling slightly.

The magician held a long knife in one hand and raised the camera in his other hand just right.

With the flash of a click, another CG came into play.

Kanzaki Kaori reacted, stared at him in disbelief, bit her lower lip tightly, and looked stunned.

"Is this... what do you mean by knowing a little bit?" Her voice was trembling, and she finally asked such a sentence.

"Yes, I know a thing or two about swordsmanship, but you know nothing about it..."

Xia Ran lowered his sword like a master, and replied calmly. After thinking about it, he felt that it was not very kind to hit the opponent like this, so he comforted him: "But don't worry, everyone has their own strengths, you It’s normal not to know this, I just know a little bit about everything.”

"..."

"..."

Kanzaki Kaori felt that her whole body was not good. Why could this person's words be so irritating? She almost broke a silver tooth.

"I...I lost..." She said these words sadly, and her whole body seemed to be a lot depressed all of a sudden, and she seemed to be relieved all of a sudden.

Perhaps, this is the best result... Really, when did I become so fragile that I didn't dare to make a decision at all and had to let others take the responsibility? She smiled to herself and thought so.

Boom——! !

At just the right time, there was a huge explosion in the distance!

Because the distance is not far, you can hear some kind of singing that is incomprehensible to the human mind. There is some kind of beast-like aura, as if it is peering through the torn gap from the other side of the unreachable dimension. The world on the other side.

Subconsciously turning her head and looking over, the girl "Saint" was stunned for a moment. She saw from a distance on the street over there, huge black cracks spreading in the air, it looked like the space was being torn apart. Cracks occurred.

"...Dragon Breath?! How is it possible? When Steel mastered this magic, he didn't have enough time to arrange it!"
