Without using any special attacks, Vega reduced his strength to the same level as the Einherjar's. In this case, would Vega still have an overwhelming advantage over a swordsman like Sasaki Kojiro?
According to common sense, in this case, there should be not much difference between the two, and Vega might even be at a disadvantage. After all, the kendo that Sasaki practiced had exceeded the scope of "technology" and even entered the level of "Tao". According to the precious spiritual wealth left by countless white-bearded old men waiting for the protagonist to smash them under the cliff, all these mysterious things were extremely powerful. Vega's fighting skills were just that he could swing his sword faster, slash more accurately, and kill from more tricky angles. The latter was a technique, while the former was an art. If this book followed the mainstream route, then Sasaki would definitely be better than Vega. It was just like a comparison between Pandora and Tears. Pandora had an overwhelming combat advantage, but if all the weapons, equipment, strength, energy, and other advantages were taken into account, the winner would definitely not be Pandora. Well, this metaphor is off the topic. Anyway, you can just listen to it. I never skimp.
But the fact was that Vega, who only had pure fighting skills and knew nothing about the principles of "no sword in hand, no sword in heart", had suppressed Sasaki Kojiro, who had comprehended kendo, until now. During the whole process, Sasaki Kojiro did not use any more strength than Sasaki Kojiro. He did not even use his tail, which could be used as a weapon without breaking the rules, to whip Sasaki Kojiro!
This was the victory of technique.
What Vega used was even more efficient and deadly than Saber's. It was a combat skill that eliminated all unnecessary movements, and even locked on to the molecular level. Her memory core was injected with all possible melee data, and the calculation module took into account all the conditions that might affect the combat. I've read her combat data before, and I'm deeply impressed by the fighting spirit of these combat experts (although Vega doesn't seem to have the conditions). Can you believe it? Every time Vega swung her sword, she would accurately calculate how many air molecules would collide with the blade, and how the heat generated by these collisions would affect the trajectory of the attack. She even had an independent gravitational measurement device, which was specially used to detect the local gravity and the gravitational force of all nearby massive objects in every millisecond. The only function of this nonsensical device was to keep her body balanced. There were many other similar devices on Vega. When this series of devices worked together, Vega became a destructive machine with precision down to the nanometer. She once confidently claimed that she could evenly cut a half-meter-long steel pipe into 9,700 pieces within a second, and the difference in the number of molecules in each piece was no more than ten. Of course, the Ravens agreed that this kind of boring and useless skill was purely an Armored Scorpion's muddled brain filled with glue and paste. In contrast, the Ravens were elegant and creative scholars. The skills they practiced were a hundred times more useful than the Armored Scorpion's: for example, using miniature arcane arrows to memorize the entire Empire Code on their fingernails.
Well, let's not pay attention to the daily lives of those idle soldiers of the Empire …
In short, Vega, who was eager to hunt, had now gained the upper hand. Sasaki's kendo might be very powerful. If he could go further and integrate the "Tao" contained in the unique skill of "Swallow's Return" into his every move, so that his sword could have the power to defy reality in every attack, perhaps Vega's double blades would lose their threat to him. Unfortunately, he could not do that. Sasaki's sword only had the power of transcendence and seeking the Tao when he used "Swallow's Return", while his ordinary moves still belonged to the human level. However, Vega could accurately hit Sasaki's weakness with his random blade. More importantly, Sasaki easily defeated Saber by relying on the bamboo pole that was somehow contaminated with psionic energy. For Vega, psionic energy was not a threat, but a good energy source. Naturally, Sasaki could not use tricks to gain the upper hand. Therefore, the former was getting more and more excited. His face was full of the joy of finally finding an opponent who could fight with him for a while. However, the latter was getting more and more aggrieved, not only because of the scorpion monster's cold and accurate attack, but also because of the unscrupulous onlookers who were eating rice and cola and holding the DV light.
"Now it's 1 to 15! 1 to 15! Bet that Sasaki will be defeated within a minute, or he can hold on for more than a minute … Amisaka, you've just bet! Sandora can't eat her chips. Lei Zi, help me count the time. Jingle, you watch Little Bubble and don't let her run away! Wei Gong, are you in? Now, Pandora and her sister will bet within a minute. Do you want to try your luck? "
I think I'm definitely a business genius. Look at my business vision. Can anyone else think of opening a bet at this time? With a group of onlookers who had been corrupted by the Empire's officers, I watched Vega flirting with Sasaki while I opened a bet on the life and death match. I really felt like I was in Las Vegas!
"What a group of magical guys you are …" Red A gaped at the farce in front of him. His face was full of blue veins. "How did the Holy Grail War develop like this? Speaking of which, why did I respond to the summons this time …"
"Of course, it's to see my ex-girlfriend." I glanced at him and directly threw this sentence into the depths of his mind.
Red A was stunned on the spot. But before he opened his mouth, the attention of the audience had been focused on Vega and Sasaki.
The two sides who had been fighting fiercely stopped abruptly. Vega casually hung his two swords by his side and calmly looked at the Einherjar in front of him, as if the battle had not happened at all. On the other hand, Sasaki was panting violently. His body was full of scars caused by the high-intensity wind pressure. Although Vega did not use any power beyond his own, with his precise control of every bit of power, any attack from Vega could magnify Sasaki's flaw by more than ten times. It could even be said that as long as the enemy's flaw was more than ten macromolecules lined up in a row (equivalent to the minimum width of the Battleship Slicing Blade used by the Commander-tier Armored Scorpion), Vega could launch a precise attack on the enemy's weak point.
Was there a need to fight with such a circle?
"I can see that you have a completely different way of understanding the sword than we do," Vega meticulously evaluated Sasaki's swordsmanship. "Perhaps it's the limitation of physical fitness that makes you have to explore the ultimate meaning of fighting in another way. This idea that I can't understand has allowed you to fight with me until now, despite your absolute inferiority in skills. But if you haven't shown me enough to interest me, the battle is over."
"Ha, I didn't expect to have such a valuable experience after responding to the summon." After such a long battle, Sasaki had also lost his temper. He did not care whether she was a monster or not! This was a strong enemy, a strong enemy who could completely defeat him in swordsmanship. This was an opponent he had never met before in his life. Miyamoto Musashi, who won by treachery, was not worth mentioning at all. His biggest long-cherished wish was to fight to death with this opponent in front of him.
"Then, let me show you the secret sword that I've been proud of all my life!"
Feeling the sudden change of momentum in Sasaki, even Vega's eyes sharpened. She crossed her swords in front of her, ready to attack at any time.
"Return of the Swallow!"
It sounded like one could cut a swallow in the air with a sword as long as one was fast enough. But in fact, swallows were quite sensitive to the vibration in the air, and their flying agility in the air was far beyond the reaction speed of human beings. No matter how fast you waved your sword, they could dodge it in an instant. The only way to intercept a swallow in the air was to instantly block all the escape routes of the latter.
Waving a sword and forming three attacks in the air at the same time, forming a phenomenon that was almost dimensional folding. This was the essence of the so-called Return of the Swallow. Obviously, this was not a level that could be achieved by skills. Only when the understanding of the sword reached the level of "Tao" and the essence of the world with the sword could it be possible to make such an impossible phenomenon appear in reality.
The moment before the sword was waved, it was extremely quiet, like a dead branch without wind. Sasaki easily entered the state of mind as still as water, and then it was the extreme movement. In a flash, the more than three feet long Notachi seemed to disappear in the air, leaving a trajectory that could not be seen by the naked eye. Vega's face showed a very surprised expression. Obviously, she could not understand this kind of skill that could distort reality with a moment of "understanding". The next moment, three sword lights appeared in the air at the same time and blocked all her escape routes.
If she did not use her special ability, according to the previous promise, it would be impossible for Vega to escape this kind of attack with only skills. Firstly, she had given Sasaki enough time to prepare, and the attack of the Return of the Swallow had no blind spots. Secondly, Vega's more than two meters tall body, ahem, would not be able to escape unless she charged at supersonic speed.
If it were Jingle, she would have to stand still to let Sasaki aim at her for a long time.
In fact, Vega did not escape, or in other words, she did not intend to escape at all. "Ding, ding, ding." Three crisp sounds broke the silence of the battlefield almost at the same time. There were three bright flashes on Sister Scorpion's arms and back armor. Obviously, she was attacked.
"Crack." The bamboo pole in Sasaki's hand was decisively broken into two pieces.
"Ah, the paint is peeling." Vega looked back at the back armor of her scorpion body, and there was a faint mark below the number "1" on it. "Unfortunately, it doesn't break the defense."
As the strongest melee soldier in the Empire, the defense of the armored scorpion was not a joke. When Vega was attacked by tens of thousands of Zerg, she was able to fight in and out of the super alloy armor. It was a miracle that Sasaki's ordinary long sword made of ordinary iron could rub off a little of the paint on her super-alloy armor.
"Hey! This is completely unfair! " Sasaki stared at the hilt in his hand. Although he could use magic to restore the weapon, it was not so easy to heal the psychological trauma. "You've been fooling me from the beginning, haven't you?"
Vega bowed her head and thought for a moment, and then said seriously, "No."
So I never joke with Vega. Sister Scorpion's iron brain can make your teeth fall off.
The outcome had been decided. Sasaki naturally knew that he could not escape from these weird guys in front of him anyway. He took back his broken sword and then looked at the Scorpion Woman in front of him without fear. "Well, do whatever you want. Anyway, I have no regrets since I can have this battle."
"Capture him alive." In the puzzled eyes of Enaka and others, I made such an order. There was one more sentence that I didn't say: Then throw him into Tawil's research institute.
"Hey, wait, how about this …" Enaka saw that things were going out of his control again and immediately rushed forward. But the next second, Vega's tail suddenly opened, and the blood-red crystal surging with amazing energy suddenly hit the girl's forehead.
"I only carry out orders, human."
"Vega! That's enough. She's my friend. "
Enban retreated, still in a state of shock. His forehead was covered in beads of sweat.
"Don't tell me he's a photography enthusiast." The indignant girl whispered, "And, why didn't you kill him?"
I didn't answer, but just smiled apologetically. But when Vega was about to "retrieve" Sasaki, countless shadows suddenly jumped down from the wall of Ryodong Temple and interrupted her action.
Sure enough, you can't sit still anymore. I thought you could hide forever, but since you directly released these things to face the enemy, it seems that the enemy has really realized that tonight's matter will not end well.
The thing that jumped down from the top of the wall was entwined with black and impure magic, and its continuous low roars filled everyone's ears. As the moonlight gradually peeked out from under the dark clouds, these strange things gradually revealed their true appearance, and immediately caused everyone to exclaim.
Undead, skeletons, and the black shadow attacking them were all terrifying things. Even the magician Motosa couldn't help but have his face contort. Wei Gong, who had never seen anything like this before, had an even paler expression. The undead that jumped out from the walls quickly occupied a third of the empty space in front of the mountain gate. At the same time, even more undead were pouring out from the Willow Cave Temple. Under the dim night view of the temple, the howling and twisting undead formed an eerie scene that would make anyone's hair stand on end.
Well, it was like that for Wei Gong.
Tears curiously looked at a skeleton soldier that was approaching her, and took out her digital camera to take pictures. Although she used to be very afraid of this kind of thing, after becoming good friends with Sylvanas, this girl could analyze the lack of calcium in the thigh bone of the skeleton soldier in front of her from a scientific point of view.
"There are such filthy things here, sh * t …" Saber swung her sword and slashed a skeleton soldier that was approaching her, then turned around and said to Wei Gong, "Shiro! Be careful! "
"I know!" After the initial panic, Wei Gong's special training in the past few days finally showed its effect. Although he was embarrassed, at least he could still advance and retreat in an orderly manner under the sea of skeletons around him. For Archer and Enaka, these skeleton soldiers were naturally easier to deal with. Dense magic bullets like a barrage, coupled with Red A's close combat ability, almost no skeleton soldier could get within five meters of them. For a time, the sound of killing and bones cracking could be heard in front of Ryodong Temple's mountain gate.
"Hey! Stupid sister, this time I will throw it further! "
Speaking of the battlefield, the most eye-catching side was still our side.
Visca grabbed an unlucky skeleton soldier, spun it four or five times, then threw it directly into the distant night sky. Then he proudly showed off to Pandora, who was not far away. Pandora silently grabbed the skeleton soldier that was recklessly slashing at her. Her small arm quickly spun twice in the air, and with a "whoosh" sound, the skeleton soldier disappeared.
Not far away, Tears, who was holding a big paper board and was in charge of recording, had a psionic shield on her body to protect herself from the scattered bone fragments. She loudly announced, "Wow! Pandora is awesome! You are half a kilometer further than before, Visca, now it is six to four, you have to work hard! "
How could I not care when I saw them making a ruckus like this? Not to mention me, even Sandora couldn't stand it anymore. With a serious expression, she walked to the side of Visca, who was in a bad mood because of the first round of defeat. Her Majesty the Queen said seriously, "When you throw it, don't use too much force. If it disintegrates in the air, then it doesn't count."
I was speechless.
Forget it, let them play. Anyway, for them, this kind of scene could only be played.
Although the number of the undead that suddenly poured out was huge, under Pandora and Visca's playful "extermination", the platform in front of the mountain gate was almost cleared in less than a minute. I didn't know what kind of sad expression the mastermind behind all this in Ryutōji had on his face now, but Sasaki's face was full of confusion and distortion.
This was no longer bullying, this should be classified as a human rights issue!
However, even if things had developed to this point, there was still no one in Ryutōji to respond. The mountain gate was closed, and the surrounding was cold. The attacking undead had all been killed, and Sasaki had lost the ability to resist with Sister Scorpion's dual swords on his neck. How could the other party still calmly stay in their nest?
Thinking of the psionic energy that suddenly appeared on Sasaki's blade and the current strange reaction in the temple, I suddenly felt that things were strange.
Originally, I hoped to summon the other party's master, but now it seemed that the plan was impossible to succeed. Although they said they wanted to capture him alive, it was not so easy to take Sasaki away. As a spirit that was summoned in violation of the rules, Sasaki could only exist according to the spirit vein of Ryutōji. Not only could he exist for only twenty days, but he also couldn't leave the mountain gate. Taking him away was originally a cover. Now seeing that the person who summoned him didn't care at all, Sandora and I quickly looked at each other and made a decision at the same time.
