Zongman: Beginning with the Killer Queen

Any warrior would be proud of what he saw.

The door that opens in front of you is an existence that is more otherworldly than the other side where the fantasy species that returned to the world live. It is a grace that is independent from the planet. Being able to witness its arrival is the best praise for the enemy.

The abyss that opened in the sky was like a black hole, exerting a huge attraction.

In an instant, everything around Roland began to crumble, like a giant dragon rolling and a chariot raging. The steel debris, asphalt fragments and flying dust that fell in the previous battle were all shot into the sky under this suction. rise and pour into the abyss.

Even the atmosphere itself turned into a pale white film in the face of this attraction, and the light was distorted. The world seemed to be stretched to the limit, as if it was stuck in half and could never enter the next frame of the slide. .

Faced with this scene, Roland did not continue to attack without understanding the situation, but stared at the abyss, standing on the broken earth, like a majestic and motionless mountain peak.

Seeing this scene, Scathach did not have any emotional fluctuations. Like a sculpture of ice and snow, she followed the suction and flew into the air, looking at everything around her coldly.

This Noble Phantasm is the embodiment of her power, and it is also her true ultimate move as a servant. During the period when the gate is open, if there is not a huge magic power that can resist the attraction and enough luck, she will be sucked into her. In the Kingdom of Shadows that he dominates.

Without her permission, the demonic realm that no living person could enter would be killed by the environment itself the moment it entered.

Even if you are lucky enough to resist, the sharp decline of this magic power will not be replenished in an instant. By that time, the enemy will be in its weakest state.

"Having seen through the fact that my own body cannot come easily, yet still allowing me as a servant to continue to act without any scruples. Whether this emotion is absolute arrogance or pity for the weak, I’ll just admit it.”

Scathach's lips moved slightly, and despite the roaring vortexes everywhere, her voice still reached Roland's ears.

"Among all the people I have met so far, whether it is a hero or a god, you are the strongest being."

This was an honorable compliment even to the gods, but Roland just smiled in response.

At this point, even if he is praised by such a strong man, it is difficult for him to feel truly happy.

At any rate, he had to withstand the enemy who had fought with all his strength and survived before Roland would take the opponent's evaluation into his heart.

Scathach also knew what Roland was thinking. She didn't feel angry because the long-lost heaviness in her heart had distracted her flawlessly.

His heart began to beat again due to nervousness, as if he had returned to the moment when he completed the feat of killing gods as a mortal.

Want to find someone who can kill you.

It's just the appearance of her desire, an excuse to settle for the next best thing.

Because in these nearly a thousand years, she is still getting stronger and stronger, but this does not make Scathach feel happy, but a little sad. The life she longs for is to fight with the strong. She made progress and climbed to a higher peak, but after crossing the abyss, all she saw was loneliness.

With no enemies and no companions, what could she expect other than the desire to calmly welcome death after a hearty battle and not have to face the decaying despair that followed?

But now, in front of the enemy who showed more power due to the arrival of the gate of the Kingdom of Shadows, Scathach did not feel the high fighting spirit and the feeling of excitement caused by encountering a strong enemy.

In other words, it originally existed.

Otherwise, he would not have had difficulty in releasing the Noble Phantasm towards Roland before.

But at the moment when the winner was decided, Roland's eyes completely shattered Scathach's calmness.

The Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows truly realized what kind of enemy she was dealing with.

It was not a like-minded warrior who could allow her to understand more skills, nor was it a powerful and durable god who could survive the addiction of hands. Her past experience was completely useless.

Faced with this absolute gap, she could only feel the pressure brought by the difference in personality.

It is different from the manifestation of the concept of the will of the world and human history, but the personification of destiny itself.

This heavy pressure, and the sense of danger that a single wrong decision could lead to a change in the outcome, made Scathach regain his original intention.

"Please let me express my apology again, Roland. Doing this kind of exciting competition under restraints is very unpleasant in itself, but you will never be disappointed. .”

Along with Scathach's words, the cracked abyss suddenly stopped attracting its own attraction, but it did not disappear, but spit out the overflowing breath of death.

Obviously there was no storm, but the remaining buildings collapsed in the face of the death energy that surged like a river, and even the land itself was completely killed.

At the same time, in the distance, the light of runes began to shine.

The scenery around Roland also suddenly changed. It was no longer the ruins of the ruined city, but endless wilderness and dry gray-white rocks. Except for the dark clouds, there was no extra scenery, and there was no trace of bright colors. of demonic realm.

"Inherent barrier... No, is this a real world created with the original runes? Did you replace part of the world with it?"

Roland whispered and laughed a little.

"You can achieve this kind of scene without even forming the concept of a Noble Phantasm. Compared to a Lancer, you are more like a Caster, right?"

Although her approach looks very similar to the inherent barrier, it is actually fundamentally different. The inherent barrier uses her own mental landscape to erode the world and draw the enemy in. Once it is broken, there will be no one outside. any changes.

But Scathach's behavior was to replace the world itself with the current scenery. If those original runes were not destroyed, this would be the real world. As for the original Shinjuku, it has completely disappeared from this world.

"Is there any difference? Anyway, this spiritual base itself can be modified."

Scathach said with a smile.

"That's true... So, this is the Kingdom of Shadows?"

Roland's tone also contained a hint of eagerness and curiosity about unknown things.

"It's true to say that, but at present, it is just the Kingdom of Shadows. It is just a piece of material. It is still on the surface of the world, but it is only now."

Scathach considered his words and took a step back, letting the death energy that surged like the sea drown him and gradually spread to the entire old Kingdom of Shadows.

"Suck my favorite enemy into the Kingdom of Shadows and kill it with my true power. This is the original purpose of this Noble Phantasm, but your mass is too huge. Even I can't do it. If you want to enter this The world is too troublesome, so I can only use this trick."

Scathach stared at Roland. The injuries on his body disappeared without a trace. Even his clothes were intact, as if he was a different person.

The emotion contained in those beautiful red eyes was also very different from before, full of conceited arrogance and vicissitudes of life but sharp murderous intent.

"Using the sacrifice of the entire Shinjuku as a basis, we will rewrite the old Kingdom of Shadows into the real Kingdom of Shadows, so that both of us can exert our power without any scruples, without interference from inhibitions or other factors. Influencing such a fight is the best solution I can think of."

"The real Scathach..."

Roland's eyes narrowed slightly, feeling the full power of the liberation of the foreign laws. His deep red eyes seemed to be bleeding, and the long-lost excitement began to flow through his body again.

This is the first time he has faced an existence outside the standard of Xingyue World. The woman in front of him is neither the incarnation of the concept of restraint nor a pure cheating player like Liang Ritual or Sandjo Aige. Instead, she relies on With his own strength, he officially graduated from the world, full of glorious warriors.

How long had it been since he had had a good fight since he truly transformed back into his current body?

"However, after all, the basic materials are only a small area and your original runes. Even if you can withstand such a foreign replacement, I'm afraid it won't last long. But don't let me have fun before you are disappointed. If it disappears together with this place, even a tolerant and kind-hearted person like me will feel annoyed."

"Don't worry, fighting with the conditions will make this fight more enjoyable,"

Scathach said as if he was comforting, but the sonorous fighting spirit in that jade-like voice had already caused the chilling death energy around him to retreat.

"According to the strength of the runes outside and the scale of the area, starting from the Kingdom of Shadow's complete arrival, it will last approximately 251 seconds in terms of human time."

"I have been looking forward to this battle for thousands of years, and I will overcome any obstacles."

When this magical realm had been completely rewritten by the Kingdom of Death located outside the world, Scathach slowly fell from the sky, slightly touched the ground with his toes, and raised the magic gun in his hand again.

"So, in order to get the exact result, I have to bet everything that belongs to me in these 251 seconds!"

At the moment when the majestic aura of the Kingdom of Shadows completely descended, the dazzling scarlet rain became the curtain behind Scathach, and hundreds of magic guns suddenly appeared behind her. The flowing Scathach burst out together!

"boom--!"

The next moment, the air exploded. Although Roland had already knocked Scathach several hundred meters away, for the two of them now, this distance was no different from just one step away. The storm formed by the terrifying power was mixed with each other. The cold air from the Kingdom of Death cut the earth directly, cutting cracks like ocean abyss.

What followed was a violent earthquake that struck from beneath his feet, and violent winds that continued to overflow amid the explosions.

Even the heroic spirit's strong body will be cut off directly if it does not resist in time.

What greeted the scarlet light were several huge flame mushroom clouds.

The high-heat wind, accompanied by wild laughter, turned the cold air of the land of the dead into a void of white mist, filling the sky and clouds. In just a moment, Roland used practical actions to create a far superior Scathach's imposing and oppressive feeling.

Roland, who has absorbed the nutrients of several worlds and grown up to this day, is better at overpowering people with force than with fancy concepts.

After resisting the combined attack of the earthly gods, he had wanted to breathe out flames like this for a long time.

The flames he vented, which were not enough to fill several Tokyos, were just a breath of relief for Roland after releasing his true posture.

The earth trembled, the mountains shook, and the wind blew away the remaining clouds.

In front of the swelling flames, Scathach's momentum had to be stopped. However, in front of the magic spear that could even pierce space, she quickly outlined a circle around her that could not be easily broken through. of void.

"It's really an exaggeration..."

Standing on the devastated land, looking at the aftermath of the flames, Scathach sighed secretly,

With this kind of output frequency, it is hard to imagine that the other party is actually emitting it in a human form. Even though they are both out of specification, she is indeed far inferior to Roland in terms of destructive power.

The flames that shot straight into the sky completely dispersed the dark clouds in the Kingdom of Shadows, allowing light to return to this gloomy country, illuminating the entire Tokyo by the way.

Although in essence, Scathach's feet have turned into a foreign magical realm, and all traces left in it are in the real Kingdom of Shadows, but because it has replaced the Shinjuku area, to the outside world, this place is like a mirage. The scenery, although cannot be touched, can be observed.

The temporary shielding barrier set up by the Holy Church was obviously unable to cover up this dazzling light, and it was too late to remedy the situation. The whole of Tokyo thought that it was a dream and became extremely noisy, mixed with loud cries.

How to cover up the appearance of such a terrifying person, and how to achieve a balance with the politicians in this world, there must be many related people who are very busy with this.

Naturally, neither Roland nor Scathach cared about the so-called concealment rules. At this moment, both of them were already immersed in this rare battle.

As if he was still worried about the defeat just now, Scathach crashed directly into Roland in a suicidal manner.

But what happened in the next moment made Roland understand that this move was not an attempt to avenge shame, but a desperate attack.

In the storm, the stream of light transformed by Scathach completely ignored the lightning in Roland's eyes and passed straight through, like a shadow reflected on the lake, like an apparition, like a mirage, and then, two magic guns The tip of the spear stabbed Roland's throat fiercely!

The two red spears were condensed into one point, and the tip of the spear was filled with shuddering murderous intent and demonic nature.

"I have witnessed the power. Next, please respond to my desire and satisfy me!"

Scathach spoke ambiguous and seductive words, but there was only a bloody cold light and a determined killing intent like a beast in his eyes.

The moment the words fell, the two magic guns turned into poisonous snakes, solidifying and sealing the space.

Now, every blow that Scathach strikes is more powerful than when she unleashed the Spear of Death. However, the unique skills that required the release of her true name at that time were nothing to her now. It’s just integrated into the instinct like breathing.

That vague sense of oppression completely turned into a mountain at this moment, carrying a pressure that was so heavy that it made people unable to breathe.

——This is the skill of transcendent transformation, the power at the pinnacle of the individual.

This is also the fundamental means for Scathach to graduate from the world. Although she is an absolute genius, whether it is spear skills or rune magic, she is under the control of Scathach, but she was once a mortal.

In life and death fights, she honed this skill into the skill of killing gods, sublimating it to a state of transformation that humans could not reach.

In Xingyue, even if all the people who use skills are added up, she is the absolute peak, both in terms of individual strength and combat level.

Even if it is a conceptual Noble Phantasm involving time and space, she has the power to restrain it.

Therefore, even if Roland also feels this restraint, even if he stops time now, he cannot change the fact that he is locked.

As long as he has a flaw, Scathach can turn it into an absolute disadvantage.

Not to mention that in the past thousand years, Scathach has continued to improve. How to defeat the strong with the weak and exert one point of strength to the level of twelve points, no one has more say than her.

Even opponents with the same level of strength will lose sooner or later if they are oppressed like this.

It's no wonder that even after witnessing Roland's power, Scathach could still maintain his pride and always charge forward calmly and with ease.

but--

"The so-called skill is precious precisely because it can be learned, imitated, and surpassed. Because of this, when you encounter a being who is more talented than you, it will become the last one to defeat you. straw."

Roland's regular facial features had the same leisurely smile as always.

"There is indeed a gap between me and you now, but unfortunately, when it comes to the upper limit of talent, you are still far away."

That gentle voice was filled with indelible contempt.

That's because he can't help but ridicule because he leads countless world lines to a new future and witnesses that even fate itself can be distorted and destroyed in an individual.

He stretched out his hand, sealed the space with the same gesture as Scathach, and grabbed the magic gun that was stabbing him at a speed that seemed to stop time.

Scathach only felt a terrifying force coming from her. Even if she stabbed out the magic spear with three points of strength left, it would not be effective at this time. But now that she is double blocked by time and space, she has no chance to escape. .

"And if you can learn, this restraint will only continue to shrink, or even remain the same."

"In the final analysis, who can restrain who's special attack is something that the difference in strength is still within an understandable range and can be made up for. But there is no such fundamental gap between you and me."

"And the only thing that really needs to be compared is...power."

As those scornful words fell, the hustle and bustle disappeared in an instant.

Roland grabbed Scathach's magic spear and pulled it towards him. When the opponent stumbled over, he let huge power condense in his mouth, freezing everything.

Scathach instinctively wanted to move, but found that her body, which could reverse cause and effect, had become extremely sluggish. Even the ground was cut off in the previous attack, the atmosphere was torn, and everything was dancing in the air. Thousands of dust also became clearly visible, and everything fell into silence.

“Buzz——!”

Then, just before the silence broke, a ferocious smile appeared on Roland's face.

The earth is mourning, the sky is trembling, and in the illusion that the world is on the verge of collapse, a brilliant sun-like brilliance sweeps across the entire Kingdom of Shadows!
