Heroic Spirit: I, Shinji, have tried my best.

The Flügel girl returned to her original position with the sickle in hand and flicked the blade with a puzzled look on her face. It was no different from usual...which meant that the problem wasn't with her, but with the other party.

Retracting her gaze and moving it towards the human holding the knife, the girl suddenly showed a sick expression on her face:

“This is really… a lowly human monkey can actually block the attack of a Flügel like me…”

“Ha…ha…ha…this is bad. I actually encountered an extremely rare prey. This really makes me…”

That beautiful face suddenly turned into a perverted look, with her cheek rubbing against the handle of the sickle, and drooling at the corners of her mouth...

Apart from anything else, this perverted behavior really scared the three people on the opposite side.

And one thing that can be confirmed next is that the other party has completely set their sights on them.

Shinji took the first step. The ground beneath his feet instantly shattered, and he rushed forward at a speed beyond the physical limit. The weapon in his hand collided with the opponent's sickle instantly, and a strong wind blew outward with the two of them as the center.

"Your physical strength is great... but that alone is not enough!"

“…What about this?”

The two looked at each other, and Shinji instantly switched from holding the knife with both hands to holding it with one hand, while his other hand formed a seal in front of his chest:

"Wood Release? Bind in a tree and be buried forever!"

"Boom boom..."

"…What's this?"

The Flügel girl looked at the cracked soil beneath her feet in surprise, as several large vine-like wood sprouted out of it, wrapping around her like a python.

Shinji also took the opportunity to step back, watching the girl being completely wrapped up, and then being pulled underground along with the twisting vines...

The next moment, several flashes of black sword light appeared, and Shinji's attack and the hill were completely flattened. A fierce light flashed in the girl's eyes. She chopped off the smoke and dust in front of her with a sword, and looked around for her target.

"…Huh? Where did you go?"

"..."

There was no one around the girl. It was as if those people just disappeared out of thin air. This made the girl's face suddenly become very ugly...

That bastard actually ran away! ?

“Hehehe… Don’t worry, I will definitely hang your head in the most conspicuous place in Avant Heim, considering it is such a valuable prey!”

the other side

After being hit by the blow, Shinji immediately ran away with Hubie and Ashe.

Judging from the situation in the recent fight, this enemy is no less difficult to deal with than the previous black dragon.

After all, this kind of highly mobile, high-attack and high-defense enemy is the most troublesome, and against such an enemy, Susanoo's huge size becomes a burden...

“…The enemy seems to be catching up!”

Ashe formed a pair of VR-like virtual glasses in front of her eyes, observing the radar indications on them, while reminding Shinji and Hubie to be careful.

Unlike Hubie, Ashe is still connected, and with her high authority as a "Commander", she can use weapons that are more complete than Hubie's, but she is still no match for a Flügel on her own.

Shinji held the knife in one hand and swung his arms behind him as he ran on the ground at an exaggerated speed. Above him were Hubie and Ashe, who were using high concentrations of [Elves] to accelerate their flight.

The three initially planned to avoid fighting if possible. If fighting was unavoidable, at least they would move the battlefield elsewhere, otherwise all the preparations they had just made would be in vain.

As for the subsequent battles, they could only try to join forces to defeat the opponent, but in the end, they had not yet figured out a way to defeat the opponent...

“…Where are you going?”

"!"

Just as Shinji was thinking, a beautiful girl suddenly appeared in front of him, with a smile on her angelic face, and swung the Grim Reaper's scythe towards his head.

"Qiang!"

The sharp sickle was swung, bringing out a dark slashing wave, which instantly cut a bottomless tiny crack in the ground.

A streak of blood flew out in the air.

Shinji jumped to the side reflexively, but was too late to completely avoid the attack, leaving a shallow wound on his face, with bright red blood constantly flowing down his cheek.

Under normal circumstances, he would not care about this level of wounds, because he would be able to recover in just a few breaths, but that was not the case now...

Not only did the wound not heal quickly as usual, but purple-black corrosion marks gradually spread outward from the wound.

Shinji raised his hand to wipe the blood off his face, and feeling the numbness on half of his cheek, his mood suddenly fell to the bottom.

[That’s why I don’t want to engage in close combat with these superior races right now…]

Before his resistance reaches 100% and [Elf Adaptability] is born, all attacks with [Elves] will cause double damage to him.

Although the corrosion rate has been suppressed to an extremely slow level nowadays, low toxicity and non-toxicity are two completely different concepts...

"Ah la la... You actually slipped away while I was distracted. You're such a cunning prey!"

The girl floated not far in front of Shinji, glanced at the three people around her, and her expression began to become serious:

"But please rest assured, because you have given me a very bad premonition, so I will chop off your heads in the shortest possible time..."

The girl casually released the black sickle, then held up a black energy ball filled with destructive energy in each hand and threw it directly towards the location of the few people.

The first reaction of the three people when they saw this attack was: Can't resist! Must dodge!

So they burst out at their fastest speed to escape from the attack range of the light ball.

The next moment... a suffocating darkness spread, and the magic with a very high concentration of [Elves] instantly disintegrated the target it hit, causing the ground under Shinji's feet to gradually collapse...

To make matters worse, Shinji actually saw magma gushing out from underground out of the corner of his eye!

"Tsk... How powerful is this damn attack!?"

He controlled the power of the Rinnegan to lift his body up, and threw a Chibaku Tensei at the opponent...

“…Bang!”

However, before the small black hole could fully release its powerful suction force, it was shattered by the girl's casual blow:

"What kind of fragile attack is this? You don't want to fight me with these means, do you?"

Facing the girl's ridicule, Shinji carefully stabilized his body. The information gap was the only thing that could help him defeat the opponent...

Among the abilities in various forms that he released, it was difficult for the enemy to accurately distinguish which attacks could be easily broken and which attacks needed to be treated with caution... Only by using such [deception] could the opponent be defeated.

Shinji thought so in his heart, and took back the truth-seeking jade that had just condensed in his hand. He turned around and taunted the other party in the same way:

“…Is there something? But you can’t kill me like this!”

"Hmph, let's give it a try!"

“…Shinji!”

Two more pitch-black energy balls attacked from two different directions... It seemed that after the enemy knew that simple straight-line attacks were difficult to hit, they immediately added an attack trajectory to block the path.

It seems that the opponent is not only powerful but also intelligent. Obviously, we can no longer deal with her in the same way as we did with the Black Dragon...

"No Passing!"

Facing this unavoidable attack, Shen simply stopped resisting and just stood there waiting... until the two black balls were about to touch him, and suddenly two Ex-Machinas flew in from the sky.

Hubie and Ashe stood beside Shinji, opened two magic circles on the left and right, and barely blocked the enemy's attack.

However, the impact of the explosion still blew them both away. At this time, Shinji, who was standing behind them, grabbed one of them with one hand in time to stabilize them both.

“…The Flügel have a protective spell cast by the God of War on them. We must first break that defense before we can truly inflict damage on them.”

While being hugged by Shinji, Shubi expressed his thoughts:

The three of them worked together to destroy the opponent's defense through fire suppression, and then Hubie and Ashe created opportunities, and then Shinji found the right time to defeat the opponent with one blow.

The probability of success is not high, but it is their best measure at the moment, so it was chosen immediately.

Among them, Ashe looked at the enemy, then looked at Shinji, and thought silently in her heart:

[Shinji is an important member of their search for that thing, and they must not let him die here... But Ashe can be replaced, so if that time really comes...]
