Chapter 197 A Sword with Uncertain Consequences

The wind died, the sound died, as if the air were dead too.

The night in Academy City was quiet.

With the blue and white full moon as the background, the dark road has changed beyond recognition, and a large area around it has been turned upside down. The asphalt ground and concrete fragments are in a mess, just like a battlefield riddled with holes after intensive bombing.

Not even the surrounding lampposts, street trees, and wind turbines survived.

It has been devastated to such an extent that some people must believe that there were terrorists exchanging fire here, and even tanks were used.

It is absolutely impossible to hide such a huge movement, and the technique of "dispelling idlers" has long been destroyed, but so far this area is still like a no-man's land, and no one else has come to check...

Maybe this is a common sense in Academy City?Hearing such a ferocious movement, everyone thought it was a conflict between high-level ability users. Naturally, people are afraid of people, and dogs hide when dogs see dogs, and they don't want to approach easily to prevent accidental injury?

If this is not the case, then probably it can only be concluded that Aleister did something.

Clang!The red-hot sword blade fell straight down, like a knife inserted into tofu, without any resistance, it sank until there was only a hilt left.

With his left hand, Mu Xiu dissipated the whip of iron sand twisting like a black dragon, and then gasped heavily with his hands on his knees, and coughed violently. His face was covered with sticky blood, and his expression looked extremely painful. .

Kamijou Touma, who had been stunned all this time and almost broke his jaw, woke up like a dream at this time, and then struggled to get up and rushed over in shock, staggered a few steps and fell, and quickly came to the boy's bed. The side wanted to reach out to hold each other.

"It's okay..." After coughing up several mouthfuls of blood, Mu Xiu felt much better. He waved his hands and said with a pale face, "Don't worry if you won't die."

"But, but..." Kamijou boy turned around in a hurry, even a fool could see how weak the other person's face was.

As long as I reached out and grabbed the store manager's arm, I could feel his whole body trembling slightly, as if his muscles were twitching, and he was just enduring the pain.

"Don't worry, just get used to it—"

Panting for a few short breaths, Mu Xiu endured the aftereffects of the liberation of the restricted life zone, feeling this kind of pain that is not unfamiliar, but no matter how many times he has gone through it, as long as he has not reached the fourth level, then this kind of pain is worse than death The feeling of being alone can never be completely eliminated, and once the limit is reached, it will inevitably be triggered.

The "sage"... was defeated, and encountered another monster that was not inferior to it in this city of science.

Steele's whole body has almost turned into petrification, and he never expected such an ending, but probably during the terrifying hand-to-hand combat just now, he saw Kanzaki caught in a arduous and protracted battle and was unable to win directly. For the other party, he already had an ominous premonition.

So now he realizes that there is not much surprise in his heart.

The magician also struggled to stand up, but it was probably because he was beaten too hard by the passionate beating before, and now he has no ability to recover himself at all.Moreover, he looked up at the top of the wall against which his back was leaning, sweating profusely. The originally airtight wall was now smashed like a sieve.

Having said that, it seemed that something terrifying just whizzed past his scalp, right?
Kanzaki Kaori lay face down in the middle of the rugged battlefield full of rubble and mud. The Qitianqidao, nearly two meters long, was still sharp, but it was no longer in her slender fingers. What is the strength to squeeze tightly.However, judging from her violent chest ups and downs and panting, her condition is much better than that of Mu Xiu.

Even if her body is covered with bloodstains now, and the exposed round and surprisingly elastic white thigh is already dripping with blood, but Mu Xiu can tell it at a glance, and there is not even a single place where she is really injured. , Muscle layer——

This is still the result of being hit head-on by iron sand like a shotgun, and the whole person is blown out on the spot.

Even if the other party had an excellent on-the-spot response and blocked most of the impact with seven days and seven knives, it shouldn't be because of the multiple minor scratches all over his body. Kong died in a miserable state.

The only explanation right now is probably the strength of the "sage" physique, or Kanzaki Kaori's own... incredible good luck, right?
But she wasn't happy at all, and it happened again, every time.

"Why?" The strange silence was maintained for a while, and Kanzaki Kaori's voice sounded softly under the night sky, "Why... didn't you use a sword? If you hadn't changed your move at the end, you must have won."

"Oh, that's just lying to you. I don't know how to use the magic sword against people. It's just to divert your attention..." Mu Xiu waved his hand to let Kamijou boy let go of his support, and then tried to stand up straight. It's not easy, because it feels too painful, like a muscle cramp all over the body.

The condition of the "sage" girl is actually much better than that of Mu Xiu, but for some reason, after being knocked into the air, she has been lying there staring blankly at the night sky, her eyes seem to have relaxed a lot , but the voice seemed tired and puzzled.

"They're all swordsmen, you can't fool me, that last aura...if your sword is really swung, I will definitely not be able to block it." Speaking of this, Kanzaki Kaori laughed at himself, "I haven't seen anyone who can stop it."

"..."

"..."

The boy walked back and forth a few times, moved his body, and after a moment of silence: "I've never had that kind of experience before, and I couldn't cut it with that sword... When things came to an end, I found that I wasn't sure at all. If you swing that sword, nothing can be redeemed."

After hesitating for a while, he chose to truthfully tell the other party how he felt just now. This is indeed a respectable opponent.

Kanzaki Kaori didn't doubt it, just sighed wearily, and closed his eyes: "Is that so, no wonder..."

She has no doubts, because she has experienced it personally, so she understands that magic skills beyond the human domain are not so easy to use.Just like her one-hit-killing sword-drawing technique "Weishan", it is a move that uses the power of "God Son" in an instant, and even an angel can be cut off by a single blow.

But when this move is launched, the power she is forcibly drawn out will exceed the amount of exercise her body can control, so it is impossible to fight in this state for a long time.

Because of this, Kanzaki's "Weishan" has to be refined into a sword-drawing technique that can determine the outcome with one blow.

Because even if it is a "saint", when using this attack technique, the body will continue to approach the edge of collapse and the limit of self-destruction.

In her opinion, it is very likely that the other party was in the frantic confrontation that had just surpassed the human realm, and finally realized some terrifying secret similar to her own "only flash", but when she wanted to use it, she felt that there was something wrong with it. problem, so it stopped directly. This situation is not very normal, but it is not difficult to understand.

"Maybe it's because magic and superpowers are conflicting forces. Although it's incredible and far-fetched, I can only think of such an explanation..." Kanzaki Kaori sat up vigorously, and said seriously, "You just revealed What comes out is your own ability, although I don't know what's going on with your speed and strength, but you should have used some method to stimulate the increase."

"Your pure swordsmanship is already terrifying. You have almost practiced to the extreme of mortals. Maybe it was when the last sword could be sublimated to the realm of legends that you intuitively felt that something was wrong... Magic is not for people with "talents" like you. It is used by humans. If a superpower uses magic, it will cause internal bleeding at the slightest level, and a large amount of body tissue will burst at the worst..."

Swordsmanship is just swordsmanship, no matter how terrible it is, it is still just swordsmanship. Kanzaki Kaori just used magic that strengthens the body and relies on his own "sage" physique, so the super speed and strength make it outstanding in itself. His swordsmanship has been brought to the extreme, reaching perfection.

In her opinion, the other party should also have excellent swordsmanship, with the help of a special method of stimulating body functions to increase strength and speed, so it can be comparable to her.

But there are always some moves that are extremely sublimated, and once completed, they are beyond the domain of ordinary people, and they are out of the scope of ordinary people's technology.It is not a state that can be reached simply by increasing speed and strength. This kind of profound truth that cannot be explained by science can generally be mastered by warriors with complete mind, skill and body.

——The power of legends is naturally the domain of magic.

Whether it is super power or magic, there are unknown laws, and they are not completely insulated from each other. They will conflict with each other, but magicians can still develop super powers, and capable people can still learn magic.

Moreover, magic did not exist from the very beginning. It must have been developed from scratch by the predecessors. Maybe it was years of painstaking research, maybe it was a flash of inspiration by chance. Runic text of power.

If the aptitude of the young man in front of him is enough to sublimate the swordsmanship that is already at the peak of mortals, and touch the laws of magic, Kanzaki Kaori will not doubt it at all.

However, as a magician, Steele developed a new magic is his good luck, and the teenager who is a superpower has mastered the power of magic, so it will easily develop into a kind of misfortune.

Therefore, the "sage" girl couldn't help but remind her.

"Is it such a setting?" Mu Xiu nodded thoughtfully, and then twitched the corners of his mouth: "But anyway, isn't it me who wins now?" The "Lord God" light ball has already prompted The task is completed, and Kanzaki Kaori is not a person who does not know what is good or bad.

He pretended on the surface, but secretly he didn't quite believe this statement, but just like what Kanzaki said, no matter how impossible it is, it seems that there is only such an explanation at present.

Because at the very end, the moment when his so-called "anti-human sword" was about to be swung, he felt that his deadly eyes were drawn, and the world in his eyes instantly turned into a fragmented doomsday scenery, not good His strong premonition made him decisively choose to withdraw his sword.

Because although it is not yet possible to completely determine the nature of the power of the magic eye, if it is magic, it is okay not to use it. Once it is used, it will definitely hurt itself first and then kill the enemy.

It's also fortunate that he withdrew his sword, otherwise, as long as the sword is cut from the other side of the secluded world, as long as it is alive, even the gods will kill you!I don't know if it was an illusion, but at that time he really thought that even if the demon god came, he could kill him with a single sword!

Well, I guess it should be an illusion.

It's probably the same as the first time to strengthen the physical fitness. Even if the strength of the muscle tissue is only strengthened by a few dozen points, the sudden increase in strength can easily give people the illusion that they can punch through the steel plate.
