Due to Xiaolin's intentional move, the battlefield that was divided into two parts was quite far apart, and it almost became a trend not to disturb each other.
This is a good decision for everyone present.
But Ainz felt a little depressed.
I'm so concerned about the battlefield over there. Although Xiaolin said that he can easily deal with Clementine, I can't help but wonder if he is trying to show off his strength on purpose. I know that I have to give the opponent room to play at this time, but if I die just like that, I won't. alright.
So he kept looking into the distance.
When Khajit saw this, his withered face twitched and he said, "You dare to look around without paying attention when you are fighting against me. It seems that I have been underestimated."
However, what he didn't know was that Ainz had never taken him seriously from the beginning.
"Nabe...no, Narberal Gama."
"Yes, Lord Ainz!"
"Kill him."
"As you command!"
Ainz called her his full name, telling her that she didn't have to hold back and could use all his power before turning around and leaving.
No, he cares too much about that.
"...Haha?" Khajiit was stunned for a moment when he saw this, and said subconsciously: "What's going on? Did he leave you and run away?"
"Don't be ridiculous, lowly creature. Lord Ainz only needs to move his fingers to kill you. That Lord just has more important things to do." Nabe... No, Narberal Gamma The cloak on her lower body flashed away with light, and she appeared in front of her dressed as a battle maid, and then launched an attack without saying a word.
"-Double thunder and lightning!"
"Come out, Bone Dragon!"
The disciples around him all died in an instant. Khajiit, who felt something was wrong, did not hesitate and summoned his most capable helper.
It was a collection of human bones about three meters high, composed of countless human bones, imitating a mythical beast with a long neck, wings and four legs.
The bone dragon, which is absolutely resistant to magic, is a powerful enemy that makes the magic caster helpless!
"This is the price you pay for underestimating me!"
"Inferior creatures..."
Khajiit's wild laughter resounded in the night sky, and Narberal Gama clicked her tongue in displeasure, embarrassing herself in front of the Supreme Being. She had already thought of how to delay the other party.
boom----
The huge body of the bone dragon shook the ground. Even if the night obscured its three-meter-tall figure, the sound still attracted the attention of another battlefield.
"Is that... a bone dragon?"
"Hehehe, that's right, it's a bone dragon."
Xiao Lin's soft murmur was still heard, and Clementine immediately responded with teasing and ridicule.
"I don't understand why you have to choose me. As a priest, Master Lin obviously has an advantage against Khajiit, and that mighty warrior probably won't be at a disadvantage against me. Could it be that Master Lin is Do you like me so much that you force yourself? Or...because of what I did, I couldn't suppress my feelings and wanted to avenge those people in a rage? Which one is it? "
Clementine is a talkative person who likes to use words to stir up other people's emotions. She also likes to see others become angry because of the evil things she has done. Xiao Lin realized this two years ago.
"That's why I chose you."
"……What?"
"Before coming to the fortress city, I definitely didn't do it for personal reasons, but now... I'm angry."
"Haha - you... you still haven't grown in the past two years."
After Clementine successfully aroused Xiao Lin's emotions, instead of showing a twisted smile, she looked like she was extremely disappointed.
"Is that really okay? If you let that warrior fight Khajiit for your own selfish desires, he will die."
"I believe Mr. Momo. He will win because he told me so."
"Aha?!"
Clementine spoke subconsciously.
In the dark, Ainz looked a little dazed after hearing these words. Although they were just slightly ordinary words, he saw the shadow of his friends from the game era in Xiao Lin.
"Boring trust."
The woman with a cute face became angry. She squinted her eyes and showed an unhappy expression for the first time.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter. Anyway, even if Khajiit loses, I will win in the end. Just watch me and I'll finish you off in a few strikes."
"You seem confident?"
"I shouldn't be the one to say this. A mere magic caster, even a faith-based specialist, can't defeat me, and there are no warriors in this kingdom who can defeat me. No, there are almost no warriors who can defeat me. .”
Clementine's confidence was not unfounded.
In this kingdom, there were only five people, including Gazef, who could fight her, even if she gave up the magic items given by the Theocracy.
This is the self-confidence of those who step into the realm of heroes.
"I see... But I also want to tell you that a true master must have the heart of an apprentice, otherwise he will accidentally trip over a pebble on the roadside and break his head and bleed."
"Thank you, Mr. Lin, for your thoughtful advice, but what I can tell is that this pebble will definitely not be you!"
The smooth-tongued Clementine looks like an old god is here, and the frivolous smile on her face shows that she is definitely not exaggerating, and it will be easy and pleasant to deal with a magic caster like Xiaolin.
Clementine's weapon is a thrusting type. It does not have a variety of attack methods like slashing weapons. It is only a weapon enhanced for thrusting. Moreover, the slender structure of the short cone is not strong enough to fight violently with long swords and other weapons, so she said that Momo is a warrior who can restrain her style.
Clementine, who has a short-handled weapon, must fight in close combat if she wants to attack.
"Why, won't you attack?"
"I'll come right away."
Upon hearing Xiaolin's invitation, she slowly changed her position, which was very close to the squatting starting position, but her body was standing, so she looked very strange.
Although it may seem ridiculous, it is definitely not a posture that should be taken lightly. Xiao Lin could feel the huge energy being stored in her slender waist.
Then--
After Kobayashi laid out his silk defense, Clementine came towards him like a spring that was squeezed to the end and then released.
Incredibly fast!
Ainz, who was peeping from a distance, had his eyes widened. Even with his extraordinary physical strength, he was running in disbelief.
Like a storm swallowing up everything in an instant, Clementine arrived in front of her in the blink of an eye, and with the same speed and agility, she got into Xiao Lin's arms, as if she had fallen into the arms of a lover with passion and passion.
Faced with the swift movements like a snake coming out of its hole, Ainz raised his heart, but Krillin calmly leaned back, and at the same time hooked up the silk thread with his right hand to form a sharp net, and pounced on Clementine in mid-air.
In less than an instant, the woman's smiling expression became even more distorted.
"——Don't fall into the fortress."
She forcibly fixed her body, exerted force in mid-air, turned her body at an incredible angle, quickly smashed the sharp net in front of her with short awls, and then stabbed down hard!
Ding!
Scattered firelight flashed past in the dark night, but the crisp impact sound spread far away.
The woman's attack speed is very fast, using her agility attribute to the extreme. The momentum of running at full speed and the strength of the whole body are combined into one, and the attack delivered by utilizing the shift of the center of gravity can be described as a shooting star.
But it wasn't over yet, as the harsh sound of the collision of shining metal resounded in the cemetery, Xiaolin kicked her in the abdomen, and then the two parties distanced themselves.
"Not bad, you couldn't take this trick before."
"After all, I will grow too."
Xiao Lin raised his hands.
It turned out that just now he had woven silk threads into a pair of gloves, which barely resisted Clementine's desperate attack.
Even so, Xiao Lin was beaten so hard two years ago that he could barely keep up with her speed now.
"Let me admit for a moment that you have grown."
"Thank you. But on the contrary, Clementine, you don't seem to have made any progress in the past two years."
"...What did you say? You don't think that was all my strength, do you?"
"Isn't it? It is precisely because you have not made any progress for a long time that the family will be more inclined to your brother, and then you will run away in anger...like a defeated dog, and escape in despair. By the way, you are Could it be that you stole the secret treasure to prove yourself? No, no, no, that is a reckless thing that a child who lacks love would do. Miss Clementine who has stepped into the realm of heroes is not You’ll do that, right?”
"You bastard...!"
The woman's expression was completely shattered at this time.
In the past, she had the upper hand by teasing her enemies with her words, but this time Xiao Lin hit her in the foot, and naturally she couldn't hold back at all.
The extremely angry Clementine's voice was trembling and passionate, and she leaned down again and said: "I don't know where you learned about this, but... I want you to pay the price for provoking me. For example, Cut off your eyes and use them as collectibles, tear your limbs to pieces, then turn you into an undead and stuff them into the horse toilet!"
"If you can do that, feel free."
Xiao Lin's light words seemed to be provoking.
It's this, this attitude of not caring, this attitude of being disappointed with her and treating her as dispensable, it's really irritating!
Taking a deep breath, Clementine made the same weird forward leaning posture as before, and Xiaolin once again opened his hands to set up a blocking net in front of him.
Clementine scoffed when she saw him doing this.
Then, she charged forward again in a spring posture. The speed was so fast that even Ainz, who had amazing dynamic vision, could not catch her. If she hadn't sprinted in a straight line, she might have escaped from sight.
Facing the sting of the woman's full sprint, Xiaolin hooked his fingers to shrink the net even more densely.
Unfortunately, it was useless. She couldn't stop it for even a second. Clementine's waving hands tore the net to pieces. In front of those who have stepped into the realm of heroes, ordinary threads are still not enough.
In the blink of an eye, Clementine stepped into the attack range, and then stabbed out the short awl in her hand.
Xiao Lin didn't hesitate, his upper body still leaned back, and his twitching fingers rushed towards her again, just like before.
"——Don't fall into the fortress."
However, the difference this time was that after deflecting the sharp net, Clementine launched another martial arts skill again.
"The water speeds up!"
It was as if time was being manipulated in a slow space, as if falling into a liquid with extremely high viscosity, and all movements became slow and slow.
But it's not over yet! In order to prevent Xiaolin from using silk thread to wrap her hands again to block her martial arts, Clementine used two more martial arts.
"Super penetration! Lightning strike!"
The violent air flow gathered at the tip of the short cone, and the sharp wind tore off the tips of Xiao Lin's blown hair, and a strong numbing sensation crawled onto his skin.
The distance between the two is very close.
It's a pity that there is no woman's fragrance and sweet smile, but the full smell of blood and twisted laughter, as if she is about to succeed, a cheerful smile.
Xiaolin's sky-blue eyes condensed, his hands made a triangle shape with his fingertips, and then a water-blue light curtain was formed instantly, and at the same time, Clementine was bounced away.
The two sides once again distanced themselves.
At the same time, the rumbling in the distance and the appearance of smoke seemed to have heated up the battle.
"Oh, it looks like the fight is getting hot over there too."
"After all, Mr. Momo is tougher. On the other hand, it's time for us to be more enthusiastic, right?"
"You bastard, don't you think I used all my strength?"
"How could it be possible? Miss Clementine may have more powerful martial arts skills. Come on, please use them to your heart's content."
Clementine narrowed her eyes.
She had to admit that the man in front of her had grown so fast that it took less than two years to catch up with her when she entered the realm of heroes. Moreover, she had not forgotten that the man in front of her was a priest, but now he only used one magic!
"I don't know where you got your confidence from, but I regret it a bit."
"regret?"
"I wish I had ignored the Theocracy's obstruction and killed you directly."
"...Is it possible, I mean possible, that the Theocracy protected you in the first place?"
"Your mouth is as hard as your turtle shell."
Clementine was referring to the blue light curtain that blocked her attack just now. If it hadn't been for blocking the stabbing attack at the critical moment, Xiao Lin would have had his imagination run wild.
"Is that turtle shell your support? Well, let's see if I don't poke it to pieces!"
With this pair of magic weapons in hand that can store different magics to deal with different enemies, she has this confidence.
"Blast breaking, super evasion, ability improvement, ability super improvement."
Use four martial arts skills at once.
Clementine decided to fight quickly. If possible, she wanted to decide the outcome with one move. The longer it dragged on, the worse it would be for her. For some reason, she had a strong feeling.
Slowly squat down and hold the short cone.
Xiaolin has not used martial arts yet, and even only used one magic. She may use dozens of tactics when she knows that the enemy is her, but Clementine is confident that she can defeat them all.
The speed is faster than before, the impact is stronger than before, once she gets close, it only takes three seconds to poke the man in front of her into a rag!
Thinking this way, a twisted and crazy smile appeared on Clementine's face. However, what she didn't expect was that the man smiled in triumph instead.
Why... why are you laughing?
Clementine was very uneasy inside, but she was also in a state where she had to shoot.
Shaking his head, he brushed away the uneasiness.
Use your legs hard, tighten your waist, and release all your strength!
Whoosh——
The sound of breaking the air followed.
Xiao Lin didn't dodge, he opened his mouth slightly and uttered two words. Even though Clementine didn't hear it, she still knew what these two words were.
--madness.
An Axis Cultist will not be defeated by the same move three times. Xiao Lin, who had seen him three times, had completely seen through the opponent's weaknesses.
Clementine is very fast, even Xiao Lin has to admit that she is the fastest among all the strong people he has ever seen, and she is worthy of the name of [Wind Breaking].
However, she has a fatal flaw, that is, she cannot change the direction of progress. Even though Xiaolin's obstruction just now was easier to avoid at least slightly, Clementine still chose to go on a rampage.
But this is of course.
Turning will reduce speed and the impact on the enemy will be greatly attenuated. Therefore, in order to maintain a suppressive style, Clementine would rather choose troublesome counterattacks and blocks than turning to reduce speed.
But this is her flaw, the faster the speed, the harder it is to control, and the higher the reaction requirements.
Once blocked...
Xiao Lin moved her fingers, and a stone came towards her face very quickly at a tricky angle.
"Jing knows how to play tricks!"
Clementine's eyes widened and her pupils shrank to the extreme, which meant that she was highly concentrated.
"Don't fall into the fortress!"
She raised her short awl to flick away the stone that was in the way.
Xiao Lin didn't give her a chance. He moved his fingers again, and another pebble flew from another place, but the target was not her face, but the pebble that was about to be blocked.
Snapped!
The collision between stones caused the stone that was hit to change its angle and fly towards her face again, and the force made it fly faster than before, so it had to be intercepted at a faster speed.
"Don't underestimate me!"
Clementine waved her right arm and forced the stone down. At this time, she had the door wide open.
What she didn't notice was that the stone she had fallen on happened to be on the way forward. After stepping on it, her footing became unstable, causing her to fall forward as she hugged the ground with her arms wide open.
Immediately behind, there was a silver-white awl emerging from the earth, taking advantage of it and heading towards it. With a pop, it penetrated into Clementine's head, making her think wildly.
"Look, I just said be careful not to trip over the pebbles under your feet."
Unfortunately, she couldn't hear Xiaolin's advice.
