boom!
A piercing scream echoed in the hemispherical discontinuous space, and bullets shot out from the barrel of the volcanic pistol, spinning and charging towards the black-armored knight.
The emerald green translucent crystal shield emerged from the invisible, standing firmly in front of the knight, but it was pierced, broken, and shattered by bullets in an instant.
The bullet with reduced kinetic energy hit the dark and lightless armor, causing almost no stagnation to the wearer. The small space of less than a hundred steps fell silent again, and only the clanging sound of armor walking could be heard.
She's getting closer.
boom! boom! boom!
Three more shots rang out. Before the opponent's "Lake" secret text was restored, Ed moved back as far as possible while continuing to raise his hand to aim and shoot in the direction of Catalina.
The first bullet grazed along the edge of the helmet without causing any damage.
She predicted my trajectory. Ed judged that even though she was fully armored, Catalina's reaction and agility should not be underestimated. She was able to avoid the fire of the volcano pistol by relying on her prediction of the ballistic trajectory and her small body.
Before she could regain her balance, two bullets that followed had already hit her torso——
The second shot hit the right shoulder and was deflected by the inclination of the shoulder armor, causing only a slight imbalance.
The last shot hit the chest, and the strong kinetic energy of the crystal dust gunpowder was like a heavy hammer, but it failed to penetrate the black gold plate armor. Katarina took two steps back, barely able to stand still. This shot was enough to knock a majestic bullfight through, but the black knight in front of him couldn't fall.
Severe imbalance, perhaps resulting in broken bones and internal injuries. Ed judged. Maybe it will bring an advantage to the next hand-to-hand combat? He didn't dare to have high hopes for this.
He put down the right hand holding the gun and put the gun back into the gun bag on his waist. At such a distance, it was impossible for him to reload again.
The Volcano pistol can be loaded with up to five rounds of ammunition at a time, and he deliberately left one unfired. Katarina didn't know this.
The Black Knight quickly regained his balance and charged like a hurricane.
The distance between the two was quickly closing, and Ed faced him head-on, holding the crystal sickle blade. The two crystal blades, one silver and one green, dance gracefully, like white oak swaying in the silver mist.
Ed parried and dodged several tentative attacks. He put his right hand behind his back and stepped back smoothly.
The weight of the armor and the internal injuries to the torso will cause the opponent's physical strength to continue to drain away. He must try to avoid a desperate fight with Catalina before she is exhausted.
Seeing Ed retreating, Catalina did not pursue her in a hurry, but kept an oppressive distance, so that Ed could neither get rid of her nor stick to her——
As a strange-shaped weapon, the sickle can be roughly regarded as a thinner hand axe. It can only slash and drag, but has no thrusting ability. He was steadily suppressed by the long sword that stabbed and slashed at a distance. Only by taking a step further could he find room to play.
But how easy is it to break through Catalina's defense?
Ed suddenly raised his hand and drew his gun. The emerald green barrier had instantly intercepted the ballistic path - but he did not pull the trigger.
He left a sarcastic smile, turned his head and ran backwards.
Catalina cannot cross the barrier she created, and can only choose to lift it or go around it, and this takes time - Ed also needs time to distance himself again.
The sound of metal friction quickly came from behind, as if an out-of-control steam car was crashing into him. The wall in front of him is getting closer and closer, and the space he can stretch has reached the limit.
This time, the Black Knight remained unmoved and charged towards Ed with an unstoppable momentum.
Since it was difficult for the volcanic pistol to cause fatal injuries to the body under the black gold plate armor, it was not unacceptable to take a hard hit. And Ed has been forced into a blind corner. As long as there is a chance to evacuate, the two of them must fight to the death——
This is Ed's prediction of the other party's psychology.
He turned around and stretched out his right hand from his waist - what he pulled out was not a volcano pistol, but a pocket watch bomb.
Another green barrier rose, this time it was Ed's own barrier.
The pocket watch bomb, whose delay was set to only one second, exploded instantly after being released. The crystal dust spread gracefully between the two of them like sparkling gauze mist, but it also carried sharp fragments and majestic air waves.
The emerald green barrier was almost instantly shattered by fragments and air waves. The dense spider web-like cracks made it difficult for Ed to see the situation ahead. He could not judge the extent of damage to the opponent, but one thing he was sure of——
The blow was enough to interrupt Katarina's charge, or at least stagger her.
This is what he wants.
The moment the barrier shattered, Ed pulled out the volcano pistol, pulled the trigger, and fired the last bullet at the plate armor gorget of the Black Knight's outline.
As long as the shot at the throat can hit, even if it cannot penetrate the armor, the impact and deformation caused will be enough to suffocate Catalina.
However, a daunting barrier rose again in the dust mist. That's Catalina's barrier.
The bullet penetrated the barrier and hit the gorget. The knight stumbled back a few steps, but did not fall down.
Could it be that...she didn't intercept the pocket watch bomb on purpose? Ed suddenly came up with a guess.
The crystal sword was swung in front of him in an instant. Ed dropped the pistol and raised the sickle blade to block. The sword slashed across the body of the White Crow cane, making a harsh sound of scraping metal. Without the protection of the gauntlet, his fingers were in danger.
At the moment when his finger was about to be severed, Ed let go of his left hand, made a fist with his left arm and retreated in the direction of the sword. He blocked the blade of the sword for a moment with his bones, and held the crystal sickle blade in his right hand and swung it towards Kata. Lina's neck——
This is his last chance.
A black gauntlet engraved with gold patterns stood in front of him. The crystal sickle penetrated her gauntlet, cutting a stream of blood on her left wrist.
But that's all. Ed knew that he had no chance of winning at this moment.
I surrender.
The black knight in front of him turned into a turbulent flow of data, and the entire arena was annihilated in Ed's consciousness.
It was only then that the stinging pain of being torn in his left hand reached his mind.
