The moment the indescribable aura and the pain in her right shoulder converged on her nerves, Kate deeply understood the horror of Nephepidus.
It is absolutely impossible to defeat such a monster without losing an arm.
This is what Kate was thinking at the time.
So he was already mentally prepared to die to buy time for Killua Gon.
But Nepheid gave him a chance to breathe.
"Bang bang bang...!"
The muzzle of the gun was placed above Nephipeto, and Kate kept pulling the trigger.
The firelight gushing out from close range flickered frequently on his face.
"Have the opportunity……"
Kate's eyes reflected the gunfire.
The so-called curiosity killed the cat...
The words and deeds of the monster in front of me support this statement.
Kate naturally wants to seize the opportunity given by the other party.
Judgment, timing, and... luck with the magic wand.
Kate will cherish these conditions, and then do her best to make up for the gap and get rid of this monster under gunfire!
"Um?"
Suddenly, Kate's pupils shrank sharply, and she suddenly bent her elbow and placed the strangely thick gun butt horizontally in front of her.
Bang——!
A whip-like black shadow struck Kate's gun butt horizontally in front of her, and with a deafening dull sound, an extremely powerful impact was transmitted to Kate's arm through the gun butt.
In an instant, a pinprick-like pain spread throughout the nerves in Kate's entire arm, and then her whole body flew backwards under the force of the impact.
"Tail...?!"
As it flew backwards, Kate could barely see the true face of the whip-shaped black shadow.
Does even that slender and delicate tail have such strength...
Kate was shocked, adjusted her posture in mid-air, and finally landed firmly on the ground, sliding more than ten meters before stopping.
In the process of going from movement to stillness, the hat on his head flew off, and as he stabilized his figure, his long silver hair slowly fell on his shoulders and back in the shape of scattered branches.
at the same time.
Nephipeto, who whipped Kate away with his tail, was able to escape the fire suppression, straightened up from the ground, and then turned to look at Kate, who was sent flying more than 20 meters away.
The look that looked at Kate was filled with surprise and a little calmness.
Kate's eyes looked at Nephipido with only solemnity.
Intense fire strikes at close range were unable to cause substantial damage...
Kate stared solemnly at the safe and sound Nepheid.
The two people's eyes intertwined in mid-air.
The hat that originally flew off Kate's head fell from the air at this moment, just in time where the two people's eyes met.
Swish——
When the hat was still two or three meters away from the ground, the figures of Nephipido and Kate disappeared almost at the same time, leaving only a circle of cyclones surging around.
The next moment.
The hat, which should have landed safely on the ground, split into two pieces silently.
Then a sudden burst of energy pushed the hat that was divided into two parts to both sides. At first glance, it seemed like two ropes were pulling the hat that was divided into two parts away.
When the hat was lifted off with great force, the figures of Nephipeto and Kate were suddenly revealed where the hat landed.
Clang!
Where the sparks burst, Nephipidou's finger claws were pressing hard against the butt of Kate's gun that was lying in front of her, more like a paddle.
"You are awesome, meow."
Nephibid's eyes crossed the butt of the gun and fell on Kate's face.
She was clearly at the upper hand, and she could intuitively suppress Kate's defensive gun handle just by showing strength and physical strength.
The appearance of the Weapon IV long gun is very strange. Most of the gun body, including the barrel, looks like a pistol with a silencer installed.
The gun handle extending from the back of the gun body has been enlarged several times, not only exceeding an astonishing one meter in length, but also unusual in width and thickness.
However, it is this unusual appearance that gives Kate the capital to defend in close combat.
Kate used the paddle-shaped gun butt to withstand Nefepido's strength. While wrestling, she wanted to slightly turn the muzzle of the gun to shoot Nefebido's calf, but she was completely at a disadvantage in terms of strength.
"We should avoid direct confrontation as much as possible."
Kate, who only had one arm, could not face the sharpness of Nephepidus.
He suddenly turned sideways and at the same time canceled the crazy clown's ability.
Along with the white smoke and the sound of game special effects, the generous gun stock disappeared into thin air.
Nephebido, who suddenly lost his point of focus, was inevitably driven by his own strength to lean his upper body forward, thus losing his body balance.
Kate turned her body sideways, looked sideways at Nephibido, and with her hand, struck Nephibido on the back with a palm knife lingering with the power of her mind.
Bang!
Nephipido, who was already unbalanced, immediately flew forward.
At this time, Kate maintained the action of clapping her hands forward, and directly transformed the telepathy lingering on her palms that she had just used to attack, to materialize the crazy clown.
"I need No. 2 or No. 8 now..."
Kate's mind changed, and she looked directly at Nephipeto who flew out.
No. 6's right-angle boomerang and No. 4's spear are unable to cause substantial damage to Nephipeto.
Then we can only place our hope on the No. 2 Death Scythe, which is characterized by its sharpness, and the No. 8 Long Sword that has not yet been shaken out.
"Durrulu..."
The roulette wheel in the crazy clown's mouth rotated rapidly, and the number was fixed in less than a second.
"No. 7·Heavy Hammer"
A heavy sledgehammer appeared in Kate's hand.
"Ah hahaha, it seems that you have been abandoned by the goddess of luck."
Seeing Kate swinging the hammer that was the least adaptable at the moment, the crazy clown at the end of the hammer's handle let out a gloating laugh.
As the carrier of various weapons, the Crazy Clown knew that if Kate could shake out Death Scythe No. 2 at this time, he would be able to connect with the foreshadowing of the previous attack, allowing the "Waltz of Death" to hit Nepheid, who was too late to defend.
It's a pity that I was so unlucky that I got the most untimely sledgehammer.
At this moment, not only can't you launch a combo immediately, but you also have to consider how to meet the conditions for canceling the sledgehammer and then shaking the weapon again during the battle.
After all, Kate now only has one arm, and it’s the left arm. It’s still very difficult to make the most of it.
"..."
Ignoring the laughter of the crazy clown, Kate frowned and struggled to hold the handle of the heavy hammer with one hand.
He lost his dominant hand at the beginning, which ultimately had a great impact on this first-rate telepathic user who was proficient in weapon fighting.
If "luck" isn't on his side yet...
We are really at the end of our rope!
Kate stopped where she was, and of course it was impossible to pursue him with a heavy hammer.
Nephipido flipped over in mid-air and then landed firmly, but he was wondering why Kate didn't seize this opportunity to pursue.
She turned around and saw the heavy weapon in Kate's hand, and immediately understood the reason.
"You can create a variety of weapons, but you can't choose them freely. Meow... With abilities, isn't the more convenient the better?"
Nephibid raised his finger to his chin, without any awareness of being in a fierce battle, and asked Kate curiously: "So why did you create such a troublesome ability?"
She was just born and knew nothing about the telekinesis system, so it was naturally impossible for her to know the existence of "oaths and restrictions".
And it is impossible for Kate to explain Nephibido in a life-and-death battle and stare at Nephibido with all her attention.
The next confrontation...
He must play the role of a heavy hammer in order to meet the conditions for cancellation.
But holding the hammer with one hand is obviously not suitable for taking the initiative and can only seek opportunities in defensive counterattacks.
Nephipido didn't know what Kate was thinking, so when he saw that Kate was unwilling to answer the question, he had no choice but to give up.
The battle continues——!
Nephipido kicked his foot, and his body shot toward Kate like lightning.
Her combat experience is still blank, and she can only fight according to animal instinct.
The best attack methods of animals are naturally pounces and sharp claws.
In comparison, Kate is an experienced creature hunter and has a very clear understanding of the "hunting style" of creatures.
On this premise, he also has rich combat experience, so even if Nephibido is very fast, Kate can rely on experience to discern Nephibido's attack trajectory.
Not to mention anything else, just by paying attention to the flow of "qi" on Nephibido's body, you can gather a lot of information in an instant.
experience--
It is Kate's capital that can narrow the hardware gap and extend the fighting time.
Faced with Nephipido's lightning strike, Kate jumped back, swinging her arm to lift the hammer upwards, crossing the path of Nephibido's attack.
The tip of Nephipido's straight forward palm immediately hit the thick hammer body.
Clang!
Where the two meet, sparks fly.
Although Kate was able to defend in time, Nephibid's physical strength and physical strength were too strong. The impact of the attack caused the heavy hammer to fly upwards.
Without the cover of the thick hammer body, Kate was suddenly exposed.
But this situation was within Kate's expectation.
The moment the heavy hammer hit, he consciously swung his arms to adjust the angle, and at the same time released the telekinesis on his feet to increase the grip.
So much so that when the hammer bounced off, it also swept his body backwards at a low altitude, temporarily widening the distance between him and Nephebido.
Nephipido caught this scene in his eyes, and then, driven by instinct, he kicked on the ground with one foot and chased Kate who was exposed to the empty door.
But at this moment, Kate, who was flying at low altitude, suddenly straightened her legs and pressed hard against the ground.
Immediately——
He twisted his waist and combined with the arm angle that he had adjusted in advance when defending, he suddenly swung the heavy hammer in his hand in a half-circle, hitting the chest of Nephebido who was pursuing him.
Bang!
A burst of jellyfish-shaped air waves visible to the naked eye suddenly appeared in front of Nephipido's chest. Facing this extremely ferocious force, she flew out without any resistance, breaking several big trees along the way.
Kate succeeded in the attack and immediately released the handle of the heavy hammer driven by centrifugal force.
call out--
The heavy hammer that escaped his hand flew into the air like a sharp arrow.
Kate had an idea and revoked her ability.
The heavy hammer that almost caused him big trouble suddenly turned into telekinesis in the air and returned to his body at an extremely fast speed.
"Dululu..."
The crazy clown materialized in Kate's palm again.
"You can't be so unlucky every time, right? Haha!"
Amidst the noise of the crazy clown, the number wheel settled on "8".
"No. 8·Long Sword"
Following the familiar sound of game special effects, a long knife appeared and was held in Kate's backhand.
Like weapons such as spears, hammers, sickles, and boomerangs, the size of this long knife is twice its normal size.
The length of the blade alone reaches an astonishing one and a half meters.
The crazy clown's head, which can be integrated with the weapon, appears on the guard of the long knife, giving the long knife that should be domineering and revealing a sense of humor.
Kate held the long knife in front of her body, her eyes focused on the power of telepathy, looking towards the direction in which Nephipido flew out.
From his position, he could clearly see the outline of Nephibido's mind power, which was still surging and powerful.
"It still...has no effect?"
Based on the state of telepathy on Nephipido, Kate understood that the heavy blow just now was still ineffective.
The defense is ridiculously strong...
You don't even need to be "hard" to easily resist his successive attacks.
If you can't even break the defense, what should you do to defeat this monster?
Kate let out a gentle breath and waited intently.
Where the big tree fell.
Nephibid stood up, not in a hurry to attack, but habitually raised his fingers to his chin, with a look of contemplation in his eyes.
"It seems like he can 'read' my thoughts."
After several consecutive rounds of confrontation, Nephipeto was always the one getting beaten.
Compared to the painless injury, Nephibid was more concerned about Kate's fighting skills in the battle.
"Are my body movements so obvious? Also, the real-time changes in his life energy..."
Nephipido reviewed the previous confrontation and vaguely understood the key point.
So excitement and eagerness to try once again occupied her head.
"Please... play with me for a little longer."
Nephipido's manifest energy suddenly increased sharply, showing her excitement at the moment.
Kate, who was waiting in full swing, felt Nephibid's aura, and her heart froze.
"coming!"
With her pupils shrinking slightly, Kate suddenly took a step forward, swung her sword forward and slashed out a sharp crescent-shaped sword light.
Wherever the sword light went, there was Nephebido flying in the air.
laugh!
A few pieces of clothing splattered into the air.
Nephipido crossed the sword light and landed more than ten meters behind Kate.
There was a gap in her clothes from her left breast to the top of her shoulder.
Through the gap, one could see only a slight trace of blood on the body under the clothes.
"really."
Nephipido tried the move on his own, and thus determined the secret to Kate's ability to lock in the trajectory of her attack.
When making moves, life energy will be mobilized unintentionally.
The dynamic changes in life energy will expose information to a certain extent.
In addition, you can also enhance your offensive and defensive power by concentrating your life energy.
"really interesting."
The corners of Nephipido's mouth curled up, but he had no intention of using this information to trick Kate.
She wanted to play longer, like a cat playing with a mouse...
Kate's eyes passed over the gap in Nephibid's clothes, and her brows frowned subconsciously.
Even a well-timed slash could not truly break through this monster's defense.
Was the initial belief in the odds of winning too naive...
"Um?"
Suddenly, Kate saw that the "qi" on Nephipido's body was flowing and changing, and it was extremely sensitive.
other side……
Become stronger in battle!
Kate was shocked.
The odds of winning that he had seen before suddenly dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye.
despair.
This will be a psychological portrayal of Kate.
Defeat is already a matter of time.
In the original anime, Kate and Catwoman fight from night to dawn...
I think it's quite outrageous.
Anyway, I can't write about such a long battle over and over again. I can just write it briefly.
So this battle ends here.
As for Moyu descending from the sky to save the situation, that is impossible.
Of course I wanted to write it this way, but the logic in my mind just couldn't pass.
