Chapter 346 Please return to your divine embrace first.
The other person looked at me with complete indifference.
It wasn't just the way the butcher scrutinized his prey, but also his ritualistic movements... he looked like a professional killer.
And she...
Without the physical enhancement from evolution points, he would just be an ordinary person.
In terms of experience, skills, and ruthlessness, she was inferior to her opponent in every way.
but......
In situations of information asymmetry, even a weak prey can turn the tables on an arrogant and overconfident hunter.
Her only two advantages were the other party's disdain, and...
sequence.
Aurora inverted the [Light Chaser], raising the handle almost to forehead height—
It's not for offense, but to protect the head and neck as much as possible.
One lap, two laps, three laps...
The soft and holy white light, layered like a buff, enveloped three people simultaneously, and the healing aura was applied to him without reservation.
With her current abilities, any wound can heal instantly unless her consciousness is instantly interrupted due to a head injury.
Kohei Horii's eyes revealed a deep mockery.
Is it a death throes?
treatment.
It's just a sandbag that's a bit more strenuous than I imagined!
He waited no longer, stomping his feet on the ground, transforming into a swift, ghostly figure that silently approached—
"clang!"
"Clang, clang, pfft, clang, pfft!"
Aurora awkwardly scrambled to her feet; she could catch what the other person was doing, but she was completely unable to keep up with their movements.
Under the continuous flash of blades,
The immense force continuously emanated from the sword, causing her hands to go numb and forcing her to retreat repeatedly. However, the opponent's ghostly figure clung to her like a persistent, invasive disease.
too fast!
Deep, bone-revealing wounds kept appearing on her body, only to be repeatedly healed and restored to their original state under the holy light, and then...
It was pierced again.
This woman...
Kohei Hori's pupils contracted sharply as he stopped five meters away from Aurora. The contempt in his eyes vanished, replaced by a look of seriousness and vigilance.
Aurora was panting.
His hair was disheveled and soaked with cold sweat.
Although the wounds on my body have healed, the nerves still retain residual hallucinations of excruciating pain from repeated tearing...
But she did it, and she will win.
"Is that all you've got?"
Aurora endured the lingering pain in her nerves, mocked softly, and then once again assumed that awkward and unattractive defensive stance.
We've been provoked.
Kohei's murderous intent surged even higher.
This time, the sharp whistling of wind cutting through the air was almost constant. Aurora could only abandon all unnecessary movements, staring at his knife, desperately protecting her head and heart, letting the cold blade cut into her body.
"Pfft, pfft!"
"Pfft, pfft, pfft!"
......
Back, arms, legs... cold and white light intertwined, and the skin began to heal the instant the blade pierced flesh...
This is a bloodless, protracted tug-of-war.
Aurora was like a wild beast surrounded by wolves; because the process of injury and healing happened so quickly, almost simultaneously, she couldn't feel the pain for the time being.
He had no injuries, but every breath seemed to carry the smell of blood, and his eyes were fixed on his opponent like nails.
Kohei Horii had never encountered such an opponent in his entire career.
Each time she raised her knife, what she brought him gradually became not the pleasure of slaughter, but an increasingly intense sense of defeat... Was she using her own flesh and blood to slowly wear down his strength and will?!
This woman... is a monster...
Let all of this end quickly!
He had to kill her with one blow, rendering her healing abilities ineffective!
Kohei's figure sped up again, almost becoming a blur. Soon, the opportunity arrived.
During a block
Aurora seemed to have finally exhausted herself, and her movements slowed down slightly, leaving an opening in her chest and abdomen—
A fatal flaw.
It's now!
The two of them silently recited it at the same time.
Kohei Horii crouched low, combined his two swords into one, and gathered all his strength, striking Aurora's heart from below her ribs like a bolt of lightning!
however.
Just as the knife tip pierced her skin, Aurora's lips curled into a gentle smile, no different from any other day.
"Pfft—!"
The two sharp blades joined together and pierced her abdomen without any obstruction, thrusting upwards.
The white light that had been continuously enveloping the wound suddenly intensified!
Kohei Horii felt an unbearable stagnation in the process of the blade piercing through, as if it were piercing through tough rubber—
That's Aurora constantly accelerating the healing and regeneration of the wound, in order to slow down the speed at which the knife travels through the flesh!
His knife... was "bitten" by his prey!
Kohei Horii's alarm bells rang loudly. Just as he was about to draw his sword and retreat, Aurora grabbed his wrist with her left hand.
He looked up in alarm and saw the nun's eyes, which seemed to be shining with holy light:
"I still have a mission."
She gripped his wrist with one hand, ignoring the blade piercing his body.
With his right hand, he swung the [Chasing Light] sword horizontally towards Kohei Horii's neck!
"So...please return to your divine embrace first."
The sword's edge was not conspicuous under the constant illumination of the holy light, so much so that when Kohei Horii recovered from his shock, he only had time to see the reflection of horror in it!
"Click!"
......
The dark, deep sea has returned, and the octagonal cage-like space has shattered and vanished.
Aurora floats alone in the sea, her mermaid form returning to her body.
In front of her,
A headless corpse was swept away by the ocean current and drifted further and further away.
[You have defeated contestant number 38 from the Sakura Country and gained 10 Evolution Points]
But she didn't have time to think about these things.
Her wounds had long since healed, but due to the rapid healing and the loss of adrenaline, the accumulated and delayed pain suddenly erupted, engulfing every nerve and making it almost impossible for her to hold her weapon.
So what? She won.
Aurora remained motionless, enduring the pain, her eyes anxiously searching the seabed for any trace of the others.
......
At the same time.
"boom!"
Ivan brandished his [Thoughts] and leaped out from behind Klaus, who was holding the submarine back, heading straight for the massive silver vessel.
"Sizzle—"
The axe blade was already quite long, but compared to the behemoth that was thirty meters long, after colliding with it and creating a string of sparks, it didn't even leave a scratch.
On the contrary, Ivan was not only thrown back by the impact, but a nick was also chipped off the axe blade.
House seemingly endless rain.
Several dark cannon muzzles protruded from the lower part of the submarine, and it seemed that some kind of cannon had locked onto their direction.
"Get out of the way!"
Klaus's Newton expanded once more.
"Bang bang bang bang!"
I don't know what kind of shell, after hitting the target, had its impact dissipated through layers of conduction...
It didn't explode!
Klaus gritted his teeth, bracing all eight of his legs against the shield, but he was still pushed back step by step by the kinetic energy.
