7. Coffee and lullaby (xxvi)
The intermittent sound of metal clashing sounded in the smoke of the flower room, and the blades of life, dignity, and desire continued to leave a beautiful silver light in the air.
On the one hand, there is a murderer who has killed countless people, and sees the sorrow and despair of children as supreme pleasure and excitement, and on the other hand, he is a teenager who is inexplicably involved in the situation and tries his best to stop the murderer according to his human dignity and ethics.
On the edge of the battlefield where the two slashed at each other like a dance, he said to Roland, "I'll leave it to you." Then the knightly witch stepped aside, and stood silently over the sleeping baron, her face without joy or dissatisfaction like a mask, and her eyes stared at the two swords-wielding swords without blinking.
The others looked at the endless fierce light in front of them, but they were afraid that their knees had already weakened with fright, and the witch just assessed it with the mask of nothingness that "there is no attraction in this".
Contrary to the superficial image of a weak woman, "Jack's" movements are completely beyond the reach of ordinary warriors, and the personality born purely for killing not only visualizes sadism, but also makes the body more suitable for killing. In the face of Roland's attacking blade, instead of being fearless, he was full of joy and stepped forward to stab back with a scalpel, and when he staggered, Roland's tattered skirt was slipped open again.
In contrast, Roland is clearly at the underdog. Judging from his movements, he seems to be half a beat slower than "Jack", and often dodges the opponent's scalpel at the last moment, which makes people can't help but pinch a cold sweat for him. Although there is no blood on his body, he is almost reduced to the point of not being clothed.
"Jack" suddenly threw a scalpel. Magically, he drew out 6 new scalpels from his sleeve and sandwiched them between his fingers, and the silver light snake that was dancing wildly instantly extended its body, chasing the previous 6 straight towards Roland's body.
"Tsk——!"
Roland took a sip and stabbed forward without changing his expression.
The sparks continued to increase, and with speed and precision that was impossible for humans to achieve, Roland forced all 12 light snakes to fight back.
In terms of the length and hardness of the weapon, the straight knife in Roland's hand has more advantages, while the scalpel of "Jack" is more flexible and sharp. In terms of swordsmanship and physical toughness, Roland, who has been trained by someone and domestic violence, has an overwhelming advantage, and "Jack's" body that has been addicted to magic for many years has been strengthened. Nor can it be compared.
"You're really great. ”
Reveal a lewd smile. "Jack" praised:
"Not only are my skills solid and flexible, but I'm also very responsive. ”
"Thanks for the praise. ”
"Women's pervert, have you ever killed someone?"
Caught off guard, there was a question, slightly—only the moment when the eyelids closed and opened. Roland paused.
"There's a flaw - it's really a young person who hasn't killed much!!"
Slide sideways and step forward. The scalpel goes straight to the throat. The boy leaned back, and the cold light swept across his chin by a fraction of a second.
"Long-winded !!"
Roland, who fought back, cut off the coat that jumped back with "Jack", and the two sides confronted each other again.
The experience of killing.
That's the biggest difference between the two.
Roland has no shortage of experience in desperate battles. There are also experiences of having to kill each other...... But it cannot be denied that he resisted killing from the bottom of his heart.
However, during the period of the Knights of the Golden Fleece, they fought to the death with the orcs from time to time. Or after falling into the animal path, he turned into a murderer. "Jack" has no shortage of experience in killing. Roland's resistance and hesitation to kill turns into a flaw in his technique when he takes on an experienced man like "Jack".
What's more-
"Be careful, Roland-chan, your opponent isn't alone. ”
Lifting her sideburns, the corners of Salome's mouth went up.
Spiritually speaking, the triple personality also has an advantage that cannot be ignored in this kind of close-quarters white-knuckle combat.
Roland is younger and more resilient, and it is more beneficial for him to stretch the fight out. In fact, he has always deliberately not forced "Jack" into a corner, unhurriedly using protracted battles to consume the opponent's body, and when "Jack" is out of body, he will knock him down without killing him with one blow - it is really in line with his style of fighting.
The personality of the "researcher" saw through this tactic at a glance, and together with the "mother" personality, he constantly used magic to provide support, which in turn put Roland in a situation of clumsiness, and the consumption of the body was basically equal.
Although only a by-product of research, the triple personality of Gulinda seems to be more adapted to killing, taking advantage of the confrontation.
In martial arts fighting, there is a reference to "heart, body, and technique".
Although the essence is very different, the triple personality is completely consistent with the three elements of "mind, body, and technique".
The "mother" who perseveres and intends to save her beloved son is for the "heart";
"Jack", who refines the killing intent and hones the body to be stronger, more agile, and more suitable for killing, is the "body";
The "researcher" who calmly analyzes the battle situation, observes Roland's actions to judge his intentions, and provides countermeasures is "skill";
The three personalities who coordinated and supported each other brought their physical abilities to the extreme, completely suppressing Roland.
Unleashing wind blades at an extreme distance to cancel each other out, the two leaping away almost simultaneously.
"Honestly, it was a surprise. ”
“...... What do you want to say?"
Jack played with the scalpel and glared at each other with the boy on guard.
"The wind blade released here is an instant of two consecutive hits, you release a wind blade to counteract, turn your body sideways to dodge the next blow, and at the same time, use centrifugal force to accelerate the swing speed of the knife, blocking my attack - it's hard to believe, this is something that people can do. ”
The context is a little surprised, and the trembling voice reveals the excitement and arrogance of "Jack", which makes Roland feel even more uncomfortable.
"It's a blessing that the family has a thing that no one else can do, and now it can do this kind of thing. ”
"There's no blood relationship, right?"
"You're so long-winded. ”
Secretly snorted, the "researcher's" keen observation of psychological changes annoyed Roland.
"Puff hahahahaha!!!!!!ha
Forgetting that he was on the battlefield, "Jack", who completely indulged his passion, laughed wildly, and the way he leaned forward and backward made people can't believe that killers have such a side.
Perhaps, because he is a murderer who abandons ethics and morality, he ignores common sense at all and is completely unscrupulous.
"Now, little pervert. ”
"My name is Roland, Roland Dark. ”
"It's all the same. ”
Waving his hand as if troubled, replacing the unusable scalpel, "Jack" asked:
"With your skills, it's very easy to cut me in two, right?"
“......”
"But you didn't do that because you didn't kill anyone? No, you've already tasted killing, I can smell it." So, what is the reason?"
“......”
"You want to be redeemed, even a hopeless creature like me. It's disgusting, disgusting!"
Redemption or something, for "Jack" there is no zài at all.
Do all the sinful karma that hurts heaven and reason, and people and gods are angry. But I have never seen God come down to the world to punish myself as a wicked man, nor have I seen God redeem the weeping and screaming lambs.
That's a great irony for people who believe in God and in salvation.
"What a nagging grandma. ”
Roland spoke suddenly, the straight knife in his hand neighing.
"Are you finally going to get serious? Unfortunately, it's too late. ”
"Jack's" face spasmed, and then a cold expression came to the surface—it was the face of the "researcher".
"How ......"
I only had time to spit out a single word, and my brain, which was paralyzed by the refined poppy powder, was in a trance, and the face in front of me shook, and the last thing I saw was a kind face that I hadn't seen for a long time, and that had appeared countless times in dreams and sad memories.
"Mom's ......"
He opened his mouth wide and muttered, and Roland's consciousness was interrupted suddenly. (To be continued......)
