Chapter One Thirty-Two: Ineffective Killing: The Spear of Piercing Deaththorns
() "I didn't expect that things would develop to this point. It seems that we are really riding a tiger now?"
"It's not like riding a tiger. It's very similar to my expected plan. It's basically not out of my plan."
…
Not dead... no blood spurted out. No, not just blood, he was still standing there. The huge penetration power of the Gauss sniper rifle was enough to make the body of the person whose head was shot turn several times. How could he still be standing there?
There?
No, the pressure he gave me is far less than the pressure the clone gave me at that time. His strength is far inferior to the clone... If I escape here, then I will never be able to face the clone again!
Defeat him, defeat this monster from the front!
…
"Don't you understand what I mean? This...is an 'explosion'!"
…
...I am not fighting alone. Maybe he is physically strong, but we are a team facing him...Zero Point - Blow him to pieces!
"...Tsk, little demon. Do you want me to smash your mouth?"
It makes sense for lner to be angry
lner fought as a spearman, but was overwhelmed by rher who didn't use his Noble Phantasm.
In other words, rher’s secret skill is to completely prevent the other party from seeing it.
Of course lner would feel shuddering.
"Looking at you, you are not an ancient hero?"
"You are indeed very smart, uncle..."
"───Uncle??? What you said is so good...rher" lner's face suddenly became jealous.
"Am I - very - old?"
As he spoke through gritted teeth, lner moved his hands.
It’s different from before. I don’t underestimate the enemy at all.
The tip of the spear seemed to be going through the ground and tilted downwards, but Lner's eyes penetrated Felicia.
"───Take my move, if you can't avoid it, you will die!"
Do you want to use the sure-kill weapon? The spear that pierces the dead thorns...
Felicia also thought about it. Although her heart would be fine even if it was penetrated, it would not be comfortable at all to be shot in vain.
With a grunt, lner's body lowered
at the same time
The cold is like thorns, ravaging the campus
...the air is freezing
It's not a metaphor, it's really frozen
All the magic that filled the atmosphere was frozen
Now, the only one allowed to breathe in this place is a warrior named lner.
"────Oops"
Rin on the side suddenly felt heartbroken
will lose
Although this intuition is difficult to believe at first, it is not wrong.
If that magic gun is released, rher will die.
rher will lose
If lner penetrates the heart, rher will die.
───but
She had obviously predicted that this would happen, but she couldn't even help rher
The two people confronting each other——
Felicia looked wary, while Lner's murderous intent had reached its highest point.
In the biting cold air, lner gathered all his strength
Under the influence of powerful magic, the space around lner was distorted
───With the spear as the center, the magic power turned into a whirlpool────
"...Goodbye. I accept your heart────!"
Beast kicking the ground
It was like a movie was being played, lner appeared in front of Felicia's eyes as if teleporting.
He thrust the spear towards Felicia's feet
at that moment
"───Puncture"
At the same time as words that have powerful magic in them
"────Death Thorn Spear───!"
The spear thrust towards the lower section suddenly shot into Felicia's heart.
"Stab it————"
The sound of a sharp weapon piercing the vagina
but--
Lner, who was holding the rear part of the spear, was stunned.
He made a gritting sound that even Rin could hear, and stared at Felicia in front of him.
"───Where are you guarding against, rher, my sure-kill spear that pierces the dead thorns!!!"
Like a voice coming from underground, full of resentment
Rin looked at the surprising scene in front of him in disbelief.
Looking from a distance, she could see more clearly how strange the blow just now was.
The spear was indeed aimed at Felicia's feet.
But it suddenly changed its trajectory, stretched in an impossible shape, and stretched in an impossible direction, piercing Felicia's heart.
But the gun itself cannot extend or change direction.
That look is so natural that it makes people have the illusion that the spear was stabbing into the chest at first, so that's why it's strange
Changing the trajectory of the heart is not an easy thing
The spear does not change its trajectory. The reason why it is that way is because the process has changed.
...The gun fired at the same time as that name already has the 'result' of 'penetrating the heart' as mentioned above.
In other words, reversing the process and results
Since there is such a result as piercing the heart, the trajectory of the gun is just an additional action to prove the fact.
A magic gun capable of breaking through all kinds of defenses
The opponent's fate is determined when he attacks, and the gun "will definitely pierce the heart" as long as he uses it.
Who can block such a ridiculous blow?
No matter what kind of evasion the enemy takes, the spear will definitely reach the heart
───So it’s a must-kill
As long as it is released, the cursed spear will definitely penetrate the enemy───
However, the light blue translucent arm that suddenly appeared on Felicia's chest broke this fate.
Partial manifestation - ghost hand!
It is composed of the strongest defensive t-force field and Jenova cells, and has the strongest hand with Noble Phantasm attributes.
Even so, the tip of the spear of death penetrated nearly half of it, which shows how sharp it is!
"...!? The spear that pierces the dead thorns...are you the Irish child of light──!"
Rin finally reacted and screamed.
lner's expression darkened
The hostility just now faded away, and lner clicked his tongue in disgust.
"...It's really stupid. It's really bad if you show that this move doesn't kill you. Really, you should reflect on yourself if you are so famous."
He seemed to want to evacuate, and was about to withdraw the spear that was still stuck on the blue ghost's hand, but how could Felicia let him have his way?
"Want to stop? Sorry, lner, you stay here!!!"
lner was shocked, but found that he could not withdraw the spear for a moment, and the tip of the spear was actually stuck!
"drink----"
The girl's scolding——
As Felicia waved her hand, the blue ghost hand made the same move and pulled back suddenly.
"————"
lner tightly grasped the handle of the gun, and was pulled along with him.
How is that possible? At least she has this power! Isn’t she an archer?
Not allowing him to think too much, Felicia showed a strange smile as she looked at lner flying towards her.
"surprised----"
The girl made a catching movement.
The ghost hand let go of the stuck spear, and before the spearman could react, he thrust it forward!
"Well----"
lner let out a muffled groan, and with the spear in his hand, he was grabbed by the blue strange hand that suddenly grew larger. The powerful strange power in the palm instantly made him feel fear.
Ghost Hand - Smash!!!
Felicia lightly jumped several meters high, raised her hands, and then——
Use all your strength and slam it down!
lner only felt the world spinning for a while, before being lifted into the air by the giant blue hand, and then hit hard.
"boom--"
Even though lner made a timely roll to relieve his force at the last moment, he still made a big hole in the ground.
"Ugh...bastard!"
With vomited blood hanging from the corner of his mouth, and feeling as if his whole body was falling apart, lner got up from the ground.
"————"
He looked forward in horror.
After Felicia completed a grabbing shot, she put away the weapon in her hand, reached behind her back and pulled out a monster larger than her.
Triple shoulder-mounted rocket launcher!
"Haha...it's over!"
Triple pack - dead-end bombing!
In Rin's disbelief and lner's astonishment.
"Whoosh————"
Three rockets with powerful magic reaction, dragging dazzling tail flames, blasted towards the limp body of lner.
So what if there is protection against the flying throws? It will still explode if you dodge it, not to mention that Felicia is aiming at the ground!
"Boom——"
There was a violent explosion, and the flames of the explosion illuminated half of the sky, accompanied by thick smoke and dust.
"do you died?"
Lin Pu slapped the thick smoke in front of her eyes and asked, covering her face.
"It seems not, he escaped..."
Felicia tilted her head and put away her launcher. She clearly saw that when she was about to be bombed, lner seemed to turn into a stream of light and retreated back.
"Not dead? How is that possible!!!"
Rin cursed with some regret.
"Want to chase? Rin"
Felicia asked.
At this time, suddenly——
"Da da da……"
running footsteps
Rin and Felicia turned their heads and looked at each other at the same time
separated by a small tree
...that figure from the back is a student uniform, right?
"Student...!? Are you still in school...!?"
"It should be...it seems that lner is also retreating that way."
Felicia said so-called.
"ah--?"
Rin suddenly shouted.
"What's wrong with lner?"
Felicia asked doubtfully.
"Lner...he must have gone after the figure just now. Because he was a witness, he will definitely kill him."
Rin said anxiously.
"Does it matter? Isn't it a magician's rule to eliminate witnesses?"
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh - let's go after it, rher!!!"
Rin became arrogant and yelled out.
"..."
Felicia said no more and chased Rin along the path of magic power.
