I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

Popular version of the title: Hanniu (Part 2)

If Fujino is the only opponent in Aruba, maybe he can really escape smoothly.

After all, Fujino is not a magician, and unlike Ryori, he has been trained since childhood and has outstanding skills. Apart from magic eyes and women's self-defense skills, she has no other means of attack. Aruba wanted to run away, but there was really nothing she could do.

However, Aruba's opponent is not only Fujino, but also Sakura, whose magic aptitude and strength are still superior to Shinji's. During the time when Fujino was "chasing" Aruba, she did not stand by and watch. Instead, she hid behind Fujino without saying a word. Using Fujino's body as a barrier, she wrote three lines of incantations in the air. .

When Aruba thought she was out of danger, Sakura just finished writing the last rune.

Before Sakura could move her hand away, these spells written with special grammar and sentence patterns couldn't wait to penetrate into Sakura's body - no, not Sakura's body, but the shadow projected by Fujino onto Sakura's body.

The moment the spell disappeared, Fujino's shadow suddenly swelled up, as if it had changed from a two-dimensional plan to a three-dimensional figure. The three-dimensional position is not static, but moves between shadows at a high speed that is difficult for the naked eye to see.

One second he was still in Fujino's shadow, the next second he was in Sakura's shadow, and the next second he moved under the courtyard wall... After several transformations, the three-dimensional shadow image came to Aruba's feet.

Sakura, who mutated the shadow, slowly raised her right hand, and a language that did not belong to this country spilled out from between her two thin lips: "Shadow Apostle!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the bulging shadow finally revealed its true appearance.

It was a monster between black and gray. It was about the same size as Sakura. Its upper body was a round ball, and its lower body was a group of long flocculent strips. It looked a bit like a jellyfish, but also looked a bit like an octopus's head with the tentacles of a squid. , in short, a very twitchy-looking monster.

The monster emerged from Aruba's shadow and silently struck him in the back.

◇◇◇

"Who are you?"

Araya Soren stared at the opponent standing in front of him, not even caring about his own wounds.

The strike just now could be said to be a fatal blow. If Shiki's second strike had killed not two but three barriers, Araya's body would have been cut in half.

The first barrier that protects the magician - Fearlessness, because its protection slowed down her pace slightly, the magician was able to avoid this fatal blow. What surprised the magician even more was that the girl in front of him seemed to be a completely different person than she was ten minutes ago.

Rearrange the posture from holding the knife with both hands to holding the knife with one hand. With just a change of movement, the girl turned back into the girl everyone was familiar with. She coughed and vomited out blood. If she had not been injured, she might have slashed at the magician without stopping and removed his head.

"Why, is it because of the difference in weapons?" Araya was stunned.

The reason why Shiki turned into another person was because of the control method of fighting will that was exercised to the limit.

Long ago, when samurai drew their swords, they accepted killing and being killed as a matter of course. That's not because of the psychology of being a samurai, but because they awakened the moment they grasped the hilt of the sword. The body exists only to kill, and the mind exists only to survive. This is not the level of concentration before the game, but switching the function of the brain by drawing the sword. It is not simply switching the body for fighting, but changing the brain and body together for fighting.

From that moment on, the muscles moved in ways that were not biological, the blood vessels changed the flow of blood, and even breathing seemed no longer needed.

That's right, they completely eliminated the "human" parts that were useless for combat and replaced everything with combat parts.

"It's amazing what a change in posture, autosuggestion can make."

Hearing the magician's painful words, the girl answered him with a "hmm". The moment Shiki opened his eyes, this was the true face that Araya was afraid of.

The magician cursed his own ignorance. He did not expect that there was a group of people who had spread this method to this day. He knew that for an ancient swordsman, the distance of three ken (1 ken = 6 feet = 1.818 meters) seemed like no distance. The style just now could even cover the distance of five ken in one step.

No one knows her original appearance. Almost everyone positions "use of the magic eye" and "knife fighting" as two ritual fighting methods, but this woman should actually be a murderer with a samurai sword. Compared to her now, her normal state was nothing worth mentioning.

"I was deceived. It seems that your fight with Shiki Arima was not serious."

After hearing the magician's words, Liang Liang muttered: "That's not right." and shook his head in denial. Her cold eyes said that no matter what the weapon was, she was always serious.

This look made the magician aware - now, what did the woman answer? What is the container here? Since when did this opponent stop acting?

"So that's it... It turns out that I finally met...!" The magician shouted while pressing the huge wound that could no longer be called a wound.

The woman in white kimono - the real "two ceremonies", there is no more feminine smile than that on her face. She just went to kill the magician.

Araya had no means to dodge this move, nor did he intend to dodge it. He had only one purpose - to obtain the current two rituals. Even if he loses his body and only has his brain left, he still has to get what he dreams of.

Gambling on the chance of victory, the magician moved forward.

"Snake and scorpion!" In the mantra that drives the barrier, the magician blocked Liang Yi's knife with his left hand. The left hand with the Buddha relics buried in it is still on the body. Even with Liang Yi, it is impossible to cut off the saint's sword. Protect.

At the same time, the severed right hand moved, sliding on the floor like a snake, and pounced on the two ritual necks.

"!" A hand as strong as a thousand pounds grasped the throats of the two rituals.

In this momentary gap, the magician stepped back further and stretched out his left hand.

"Sure!" The final barrier compressed with a collapsing momentum. Impacts from various angles hit the bodies of the two rituals with the force of crushing all the bones in the body.

"Ah" sounded the voice before death. The leather coat shattered and the girl in white kimono fell to the ground. No, it should be said that she fell to the ground - the girl that Araya had been waiting for for many years simply disappeared, but Shiki did not want to let go of this opponent. While he was indeed unconscious, the white shadow jumped up. She simply wanted to kill Araya Soren.

He swung the knife and stabbed the magician in the center of his chest.

The feeling of life disappearing disgusts the magician.

"Are you kidding!" Araya kicked Shiki at the same time.

It was a mid-section kick that seemed to penetrate the abdomen, like a gun.

In an instant, blood flowers flew.

PS: In terms of pace, Genshiki is stronger than Kirei. Kirei can take five steps with one step, while Shiki-nee can take nine steps.

PS2: The real "two rituals" are the "root style"

The seal designates sealing not the strong, but the rare. Take Xuanwu Gaoyue as an example. The combat power is not strong, but the ability is rare, so it will be included in the list.
