"Tell us?"

The leader shook his head and smiled bitterly as if he had heard some incredible joke.

"Do you understand the situation?"

"I was surrounded by three six-mangled high-ranking magicians, one for defense, one for seeking enemies and raids, and the last for mid-range support and melee combat—the ideal team of three. ”

For magicians, there is more or less estrangement between working with other troops, which is a psychological problem and a technical problem. Although the cooperating person knows more or less about magic, once they enter the detailed operation, the cooperation efficiency between them will always decrease due to the cognitive gap. Therefore, the army will always try to form a team of magicians from different systems to deal with various battle situations.

This trio is probably the best in a similar team of magicians, and the neurotic man who used the "Earth Dragon Thorn" has most likely carried out the technique of measuring the vibrations of the ground, and can grasp the subtle vibrations transmitted by the feet and trees to the ground. The float technique was even worse, as it had to be kept active consistently, making it easier for the opposing mage to grasp Mana's trajectory. Even if you are lucky enough to avoid the "Earth Dragon Thorn" and break through the "barrier", there is still a "hidden blade" that is too fast to cut him off, or buy time for your companion to launch the next spell.

Offensive and defensive integration, without the slightest flaw.

"That's right, in front of us, you can't beat it, you can't escape, and there is absolutely no chance of winning. ”

"I don't think so, sir. ”

The boy sighed, and said as if in pity:

"I've been taught: never rush into a comment before someone else has finished speaking, and never use the word 'absolutely'. Because it's always going to get you into trouble. ”

In the next instant, a spear condensed with underground metal elements pierced the ground.

The speed of the spear could not be linked to "growth" in the slightest, and in less than a second, it was already as tall as a tree, but the man who performed the spell showed a surprised expression.

There was nothing on the spear - it was within their calculations, and after seeing it once, everyone would be extra attentive to the defense of the dead end.

However.

The boy leaped into the air, twice as tall as his spear.

Even if you use strengthening to strengthen your muscles and joints, you can't jump to a height of 40 meters with your body.

"Searing primordial power, give you wings, incinerate the enemy in front of me!!"

It's too late to continue researching. Immediately launch an additional attack. Dozens of flame birds soared into the air and swooped down on Roland in mid-air.

When deducing Roland's movements, they had already factored in the possibility of launching a counterattack from the air, except for the encirclement network of the "Flame Wing". The Earth Dragon Thorn, which was already in the "standby" state, was also launched. As long as Roland falls from the sky. Immediately will be a corpse strung on a metal spear.

Of course, he can also launch a "barrier" defense or use a "float" to escape from the air, but the moment he unfolds the technique. He must be in a rather vulnerable state. Unable to defend or escape for a moment, it is the best prey for a "hidden blade" that has almost no weight and can control its length.

The target is siblings.

They still haven't given up the idea of taking Roland hostage and then turning the tables, so it's enough to just kill him to the point where Cheng Dù won't die.

The leader stared at Roland intently, the adjustment of the technique on the edge of his palm had been completed, and the hand hidden under the robe was aimed at the descending target, and the moment the young man raised his arm, the silver-white blade was extended in one breath.

Ping-pong - !!

The automatic pistol in Roland's hand also rang out, and the 9mm pistol bullet accurately shattered the Celestial Crystal embedded in the tip of the wand with a speed and accuracy that exceeded the magicians' understanding, losing the assistance of sensing amplification, and more than half of the "Flame Wings" and "Earth Dragon Thorns" collapsed and returned to Mana.

didn't have time to have any feelings about this, at the cost of thickness, the "hidden blade" that was faster and sharper than the "Earth Dragon Thorn" also killed in front of Roland at this moment, and the remaining "flame wings" outflanked from different directions.

Succeeded-

At the same time as this thought came up, the leader's retina reflected the young man jumping in the air and stepping on the "hidden blade".

Seizing the perfect opportunity, kicking on the "barrier" he created, and jumping onto the back of the "hidden blade" knife with the force of recoil, his movements are smooth and neat like a dance.

Just now, he used this trick, and while guarding against the "Earth Dragon Thorn", he rose into the air with the help of impact-

The moment he deeply understood what was happening, the shame of being fooled one after another came to his heart, and the leader's face turned red, and he hurriedly flipped his arm to shake the young man away, and then raised his hand over his head, ready to make a direct slash.

At this moment, something happened that surprised all three magicians.

-- Honkai.

After thoroughly grasping the structure of the enemy's magic circuit and eliminating the wand that could quickly restart the spell, Roland launched 146 "Honkai" in one go, and the "Hidden Blade", "High-Density Barrier", "Earth Dragon Thorn", and "Flame Wing" all disappeared in response.

"What ?!!!"

The nervous man screamed with wide eyes, the loss of his wand was painful, but the sight in front of him made him wonder if he was normal.

"Honkai" is a special technique used to destroy magic circuits, and the principle is not complicated, but it must have the ability to determine the type of technique used by the opponent from thousands of magic methods in an instant, and instantly determine the key parts of the magic circuit. The mere possession of this ability was already surprising, but what was even more surprising was that the boy activated hundreds of "Honkai" almost in an instant.

This is no longer a state of affairs that can be summed up by a single sentence of "genius", and it may be more appropriate to say that it is a "monster" or a "miracle".

Like other techniques, Honkai can only interfere with one technique at a time. In order to destroy the hundreds of spells performed by three mages, the same number of spells must be activated.

In other words, Roland could do in an instant what hundreds of magicians could do—something no different from a monster.

"How so-?!!"

The man clutched his head and shouted, witnessing what was beyond his comprehension. It makes it impossible for him to think normally, and to make the necessary movements.

The fist slammed into his chin, and with a belly full of doubts, surprise, and fear, he fainted with another companion.

Covering his cheeks and chest with his arms, he jumped backwards while receiving kicks from the side, and stood firm to look around at his unconscious companion who had fallen to the ground, staring at the opponent in front of him who was too young to speak, and the bitter taste spread in the leader's mouth.

“...... Is it 'Honkai'? It was an eye-opener. ”

There was a constant numbing sensation in his dangling left hand, and even though most of the impact had been removed, the kick made his left hand useless for a short time.

As for Roland's side. On the surface, it seems to be peaceful. However, the impact of consciousness brought about by the continuous activation of hundreds of "collapses" is constantly stirring the brain after being strengthened by high-speed movement, and the feeling of dizziness and nausea like seasickness continues to surge, and I am afraid that I will vomit it out as soon as I open my mouth, but my consciousness is still quite clear. The body of the counterattack is also well preserved.

Who is the situation for. Glance.

"It's weird, though. But it's also quite powerful. If you were an ordinary person, you would probably be beaten down like them, and the musket and shooting skills...... I see. You are not a master of 'magic battles', but an expert in 'fighting mages'. ”

“......”

Roland raised his eyebrows slightly.

This man is very observant.

Indeed, because of the almost universal power of magic, the power that ordinary people must be trained to obtain, they can easily use magic to achieve power that is far above it. Therefore, many magicians neglect to exercise their bodies, disdain shooting, fighting, etc., and often show discomfort and helplessness when faced with the sudden situation of the other party's use of automatic pistols when the technique is cracked. It is inevitable that Roland, who uses such an unguardable means to attack the magician, is considered a "magician killer".

Reasonable, but this reasoning is not entirely correct.

This kind of combat is indeed very suitable for dealing with magicians, but this is by the way, and it was originally used to deal with those who can still use magic or have the same power as magic under the premise that "you can't use Mana". For this purpose, in order to surpass the back as distant as a steep peak, Roland continued to refine his skills and exercise his body.

The leader didn't know, and he didn't dig deeper, he took a deep breath and regathered Mana, and a silver-white sword wrapped around his right arm appeared in front of him.

"I admit that you are very powerful, you are a rare genius of multiple spells, and it is not a big deal to fight you. ”

With a swing of his sword, the leader slashed at him with a single lunge.

"But I'm not going to admit defeat honestly!"

"You brainless man!!"

As if he had endured the man's stubbornness to the limit, or the so-called "adult attachment", he burst out with angry shouts, and Roland rushed head-on.

The leader's speed was faster than before, with more speed and agility than that of a cheetah, and in the blink of an eye, he circled Roland's dead end.

Hidden Blade.

Honkai.

Start again.

Re-decompose.

The offensive and defensive battles between each other are completely synchronized, one side continues to build loops to activate the technique, and the other side repeatedly launches Honkai to resolve it without any gaps, in the face of the enemy who is constantly inserted into the dead end, Roland always dodges the opponent's hand knife at the last moment, and then fights back with his fists, forcing the opponent to re-open the distance and start a new round of circle games again. In the dizzying comings and goings, the battle situation maintains a delicate and dangerous balance.

(Damn it-)

Clenching his teeth, Roland's heart was clouded with a shadow of anxiety.

The battle situation is not divided for the time being, but as the dizziness gradually recedes, he is gradually regaining the ability to cast spells, as long as he continues to maintain this state, victory will be his sooner or later. Roland didn't seem to have any reason to be anxious about this.

He wasn't anxious about himself.

Another kick was flashed by the other party, and a dull word came out of his mouth.

"Is it really 'instantaneous'......"

"It's surprising that you even know that. ”

The man, who was so fast that he couldn't even blur his figure, admired that he was moving faster.

The "instantaneous" technique of the enhancement system is not a single technique, but a set of techniques that act on the body, which can be regarded as a single system.

Since the human body is a whole, a single reinforcement of one part will inevitably have an effect on the whole. Take strengthening the limbs, for example. In order to maintain the strengthened muscles and bones, the blood vessels, heart, and liver must also be strengthened, and the brain must also be strengthened due to the increase in blood pressure, and the secretion of endorphins and adrenaline must be strengthened......

It is precisely because of the need to strengthen so many parts that the representative of the "instantaneous" technique, which can be called the strengthening system, is qualified to be called a single system.

When activating "Transientization", the caster's judgment is used to strengthen muscles and protect tendons and ligaments with magic at the right time. Hardening the surface of the body and absorbing the force of the impact - these are the common ways in which "instantaneous" is used. Relying on these reinforcements, the caster can think of superhuman strength, or act like a thunderstorm, but Roland clearly feels it. The man's movements weren't just fast. In his habits of action that he has fully grasped the other side. Simulate their thinking mode in a preemptive situation. The other party can easily dodge, and this is probably not just the nerves, muscles, and dynamic vision enhancement Cheng dù.

There is only one way to do this.

"You guy...... Did you use 'Hittime'?!"

"I can't believe you even know that. There is nothing but admiration for your erudition and innate talent. ”

"Are you crazy?!"

Roland raised his hand to face the opponent's hand knife and roared angrily.

"Do you know what the consequences of doing this are?!"

The enhancement of the "Fatal Time", the biggest contraindication in the "Instantaneous" series, is to strengthen the heart function, so that the number of heartbeats increases extremely quickly, thereby improving the time sensory function.

Immersed in a world where the heart beats 300 times per minute, everything moves slowly, the shock waves of the bullets churning the air, the flowing hair, the sweat dripping from the chin—all of them are clearly visible. Even if Roland strikes first, the enemy will have more time to think and react.

Despite such a big advantage, this technique is widely forbidden, and such a fast heartbeat has broken through the limit of what humans can bear, and even if it is used for a short time, it will cause severe sequelae, and if it is more than 5 minutes, it will even die on the spot.

"Why? Why, exactly, even to this point?"

"Do you not hesitate...... That's true. ”

Dodging the last bullet, the Leader and Roland distanced themselves, separated by 10 paces, and the two faced each other.

The smell of saltpeter and blood drifted in the wind, and the distant shouts of slaughter and the dying neighing of war horses gradually thinned out, and there was no need to confirm with both eyes, both sides already knew the outcome of the battle.

"Surrender. ”

There is no slackness in his posture, there is no arrogance and contempt in the language of persuasion, and there is only sincerity in the young man's purple eyes.

I suddenly remembered that a month ago, my five-year-old son also looked up to him with such pure and innocent eyes, waving his hands to hug him, and his wife sitting in the rocking chair next to him cast a happy gaze.

Before I knew it, I was already a father......

"Now, kid. ”

Knowing that he shouldn't say much in the task, and he is not a person who is qualified to preach, but driven by the wonderful feeling of "if you don't say something, you can't end it", the man's red face with earthworm-like blood vessels appeared and showed a kind smile.

"Let me teach you something. If you have made up your mind to give up the qiē you have now and pursue other foods, you must be prepared for a considerable amount of time. Whatever the outcome, don't regret it. ”

"Is this an adult experience?"

"Nope. ”

Shaking his head, the leader smiled fearlessly.

"It's a man's experience. ”

Taking a deep breath, the leader vanished from the spot, shooting at his opponent like an arrow from a bowstring full of drawn, and the dense magic circuit spread through the air.

"Thousands of Blades!"

Wrapped in countless "hidden blades" that erupted, and at the same time activated the explosion technique hidden in the body, the man rushed towards Roland like a storm, and the reassembled "hidden blades" in his hand flashed with silver-blue light, directly taking the young man's heart-

Won.

The moment this thought came to mind, the man was broken along with his sword.

"I'm sorry—"

Launched a large-scale "Honkai" again, using the blade of consciousness to destroy all the circuits of the "hidden blade", and under the illumination of the blue-white powdery mana particles flying in the sky, the boy let out a sound similar to roaring and crying, as if he had used all his strength, and pressed the man with blood gushing out of his body and a smile on his face to the ground.
