8. The Knight of Albion (xxv)
The straight knives of the armed men assigned by V.E Company are known to the world for their sharpness and toughness. But for orthodox swordsmen, it is a left path that is outside the right path.
Salome's knife made using techniques such as alchemy is also a heresy, and compared to mass products, this "divine will" is more deviant, a heresy among heretics.
Length, color, configuration, luster - there is not a single trace of normal, and the mere shape that looks like a pitch-black stick from a distance makes one wonder if the caster's mind is normal enough to make such a monster.
Knights also used giant swords such as the Long Riding Sword, but compared to the Long Riding Sword, which had a thick back and a wide blade, and was based on weight and sturdiness, this straight sword of unknown material only stretched the standard straight sword, and did not widen it in equal proportions. The long knife, which is already difficult to wield, also lacks the disadvantage of being strong enough...... It's really a monster knife that only a weird with a broken brain would come up with.
Having said that, that is still a murder weapon, and it is only stored there, and it will radiate malice all around, far beyond the so-called famous knives, demon knives and the like, genuine magic knives.
Glancing at the pure blackness that engulfed even the light, and listening to the hiss of the blade swimming in the air, the brain will understand the almost poisonous demonic nature of the knife, and then the idea of holding it in your hand and slashing people will be born.
"Huhu, it's been useless for a long time, and it feels a little rusty. β
With a few waves of "divine will", Salome's eyebrows raised troubled folds, and she took a deep breath, and her right hand and knife suddenly blurred for a moment.
Woo ββ!!
At the same time, if you look closely, there is still an interval in seconds, but in the eyes of the audience. Suddenly appeared on the ground, less than 1 mm wide and about 10 meters long, and the number of 7 slash marks appeared at the same time. A few tenths of a second later, the air exploded with a slashing roar.
"Uh-huh, I feel like I've got it back. β
It's not really disappearing, and the faster swing of the knife than the sound is beyond the scope of the naked eye, so that the action of slashing 7 knives in an instant achieves the effect of visual transparency.
It was like magic, but at that moment Mana didn't change in the slightest, after the slash appeared. No traces of magic have been found. So that's the real deal. An outrageous and exaggerated knife technique that relies on the amount of flesh and the long knife in his hand.
"Not only is the magic first-class, but even the skill of making knives is unbelievable?"
For the first time, Bedwell let out a wavering emotion, a fleeting expression that had only been seen in the past against Lancelot.
Young, strong, confident, outside of convention β the two are highly similar and diametrically opposed. It's like inside and outside the mirror.
Magic knives and holy swords. The Witch and the Knight β
"Wait...... You're not going to be serious, are you? Using 'divine will' in a place like this where people gather?"
Roland's face turned pale. No one knew the knife better than him, and what terrible things could happen to the man in front of him when he swung it to his heart's content.
It's not a small-scale disaster that collapses one or two buildings and kills one or two hundred people. It is basically a full-scale natural disaster.
"It's okay, I'll try to pay attention. β
"Try to ......?!"
Roland could hardly help but hug his head on the spot and wail, can that kind of strategic-level weapon be wielded casually just by "paying attention as much as possible"? Why don't you learn to hold a super bomb and crash into the enemy's huge special attack plane?!
"Alright, well, alas...... I remember calling the lazy camel rider?"
The Squinting Witch turned around with a friendly smile that was perfect for wearing a leather bodysuit, holding a leather whip and candle in her hand, and leisurely carried the "black stick" on her shoulder.
"Lancelot, a Knight of the Round Table from Britannia, Lancelot. β
The young knight did not move at all, and the sword skills of the instant kill and the dialogue full of grooves could not affect him in the slightest, and he maintained his posture and looked directly at Salome.
He is worthy of being a natural knight, and he remains rational and calm in any state.
"Well~~~ It's really troublesome, let's call it Lance-chan, the first statement, don't look at me like this, I'm a pacifist. β
Yes, for you, pacifist and violent maniac mean the same thing - Roland in the ring pressed his forehead and complained.
"I like peace, so I have to make sure of the rules, the order, the guys who break the rules...... Huhu, you should understand, right?"
β......β
"So, the game is over, you should go back to China. But you're just messing up my schedule - I'm going to be punished, ahhh I don't have any special sexual fetishes and have no interest in dolls. Just beating you half to death and waking up to a strange ceiling β that's enough. β
"Is that all you have to say?"
"Alas, it's easy to be verbose when you're old......"
With a pretentious sigh, Salome stepped along.
"I see, I'm going to fight, right?"
It was supposed to be 20 meters away from the ring, but it was said in the ring.
The interval was eliminated in an instant, and it was closer.
"What the hell, that speed! the same as Galahad...... No, it's faster than Galahad!!"
Geraint almost groaned, and Bedwell clenched her fists.
"Shrinking the groundβ"
The amplified magic props whispered in a cold sweat, and the silent audience watched the ring intently, listening to Nidhogg's commentary.
"Accelerating to a super high speed in an instant, it looks like an instantaneous movement caused by shortening the earth, Salome-sama's ...... Super speed movement trick. β
Beyond the speed that the naked eye can't catch, the super-god speed "shrinking the ground" that the naked eye can't see at all.
Invisible knives, invisible moving footwork, super magic - Salome, who combines three terrifying talents, really has a chance of winning against Lancelot, who wants to fight this monster?
Even Bedewell, who was known among the Knights of the Round Table for his outstanding eyesight and fairness and strictness, was in a cold sweat.
Eighty percent, he thought, would lose.
"Me, it's been a long time since I've fought anyone with a sword, Lance-chan, do you know why?"
Smiling kindly, Salome unveiled the answer.
"When you play against people who are poor in Cheng, your own level will also drop. In terms of the lack of external enemies to push one's own technological improvement, is 'invincible' really troublesome?"
The fingers drew a magic circle in the air, and the shining Mana circuit sank to the ground, and the ground shook violently, and the ring with two people standing "grew" rapidly, and the 50-centimeter cylinder stretched rapidly towards the sky with a visible eye, until it rose to 300 meters before stopping.
"This way, you can swing the sword to your heart's content, and you don't have to worry about the annoying audience being hacked to death. Ah, by the way, because of the neglect of practice, you may be the next big move, right?"
"If you can stop the noise, then let's get started. β
The hand that had been resting on the sword began to move, and the sword that shimmered with golden light pointed at the longsword messenger.
There was no referee, no limit, the figures of both sides disappeared at the same time, and the thunderous impact exploded in the air. (To be continued......)
PS: Super Divine War, well, don't worry, Li Lin won't behead his daughter-in-law, as for NTR...... Let me think again......
