I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

This blow was the strongest and fastest blow that Shinji had hit tonight.

This blow combines Shinji's physical strength, the strengthening of the relic, the bonus of gravity, and the instant increase brought about by "magic release".

This strike, both in terms of timing and angle, was just right.

From Shinji's point of view, Liz Byfei could only block it, even though this attack would most likely put her at a disadvantage for the first time.

However, will reality really go as smoothly as Shenji imagined?

Just as the distance between him and Liz Byfei was getting closer and closer, Shinji suddenly felt an indescribable feeling of panic in his heart, as if some huge crisis was approaching.

Almost at the same time as the sense of crisis, there was a slight clicking sound, as if it was the sound of some kind of switch being moved.

Before Shinji had time to think about what the sound was, he saw Liz Byfield releasing the shield-holding posture, and the holy shield fixed on her left hand was folded up to the side of her waist. The tip of the gourd-shaped shield was downward, with a A circular opening with the bottom pointing upwards seemed to be intended to be struck with the left fist.

Wait, the opening at the bottom of the shield!

Shenji's expression suddenly changed.

No, that's——

With a loud impact, a light green cone with a diameter of more than five centimeters popped out of the opening at the bottom of the shield, roaring and hitting Shenji's hardest left hand.

The tip of the cone emits a strange light, quietly announcing to Shinji that your left hand cannot stop it.

This is the full picture of Lizzy Byfield's conceptual weapon, the holy shield, the official apocryphal Gamaliel. It is not only a holy shield engraved with holy words and has extraordinary defensive power, but also a weapon with huge destructive power.

There is a mechanism under the peculiar gourd-shaped shield, which contains holy nails made of holy silver.

This holy nail is protected by God like the holy shield, but it is not "protected" but "destroyed", the object harmed by the holy nail. Without exception, the concept of "annihilation" will be engraved on them. This is one of the trump cards prepared by the "Temple Church" to defeat vampires. Since being handed over to Liz Byfield, many Dead Apostles have been scarred indelibly by the Holy Nails, and have even fallen under the "Holy Nails".

Now, this "holy nail" is aimed at Shen Er.

Shenji knew that there was a mechanism hidden in the Holy Shield, and he also knew that this thing had huge lethality against the Death Apostles. I just fought with Liz Byfield for such a long time, but I didn't see her using it. I subconsciously thought that she wouldn't use it on him. After all, the two of them were not fighting for their lives. I didn't expect to use it at the most critical moment. Shen'er was caught off guard.

Just because the weapon is specially designed for vampires does not mean that it is useless against humans, and the feeling of the holy nail to Shinji is very similar to that of Diarmuid's Yellow Rose and his own Snake Scythe. I am afraid that it has an attribute that cannot be recovered after being injured.

The biggest reliance of the Dead Apostles is their ability to heal themselves. Ordinary skin injuries can be recovered in less than a few minutes. However, if this ability is suppressed, most Death Apostles are equivalent to stronger humans. Even if they have superpowers, there is nothing to fear. Yes, that's why "Snake Hunting Scythe" has the nickname "Immortal Killing".

If the "Holy Nail" had the same effect, then Shinji's left hand would be inconvenient at best, or completely useless at worst. Although there are not no treatment options, none of them are easy - the best way is not to get hurt!

Forced by the sense of crisis, Shinji made a certain decision.

The clenched left fist was quickly released, and a radiance completely different from Buddha's light and holy light gathered around Shinji's hand, and quickly condensed into a solid substance.

This is also a shield, and the aura it exudes is no less than that of Liz Byfield's holy shield - aegis (Shield of Athena)!

As soon as the Shield of Athena appeared, a sound as mighty as a bell rang through the night.

The "Holy Nail" of the Templar Church VS the Aegis of Athena, the Goddess of Wisdom.

The air where the top of the "holy nail" collides with the aegis is like a layer of lake water stirred by foreign objects, causing violent ripples. The outermost layer of ripples spread to the ground, immediately tearing a gap up to one meter deep, and the turf attached to the ground was shattered by the ripples.

The competition between two ancient mysteries has caused a series of mysterious scenes that are difficult to explain scientifically.

After a confrontation that should not have occurred in modern times, the situation remained unchanged. Liz Byfield was still on the ground and Shinji was still in the air, but one sank deeper and the other bounced higher.

The battle between the two is like a battle between heaven and earth.

Shinji, who used his Noble Phantasm at the last moment, moved his slightly aching left hand. Although he avoided the end of his left arm being penetrated, it also allowed him to test the limits of the relic's strengthening - it can block ordinary swords, but cannot block divine weapons. A sharp weapon; although its power exceeds the limits of human beings, it cannot match a high-ranking fantasy species like Bekasas.

Manpower will eventually run out, no, even the power of the planet under our feet will eventually run out.

Shenji smiled meaninglessly, dismissed the Shield of Athena, switched to feather shoes, and stood in the air.

"Miss Liz Byfield, what you did just now was a bit too much."

Once the "Holy Nail" really penetrates Shen Er's palm, it means that Shen Er will lose at least 30% of his strength, and it is likely to be permanent. This is enough to make anyone who desires to become stronger go crazy.

If it weren't for this straightforward Holy Shield Knight showing no trace of murderous intent from beginning to end, Shinji would never have gone too far with just one sentence.

"Excessive?"

Hearing these cold words from Shenji, Liz Byfield, who had just pulled herself out of the ground, looked blankly at the sky and then at her hands.

Well, no problem, no injuries, Holy Shield too

"Ah - the 'Holy Nail'! I used the 'Holy Nail'! It's over, it's over, it's a weapon that can only be used in a battle of annihilation! It's tragic, it's tragic, Lord Gesebalune is now in solitary confinement .”

Such a bizarre response left Shinji stunned. Fortunately, through previous exchanges, Shinji already had a certain understanding of Liz Byfei's rough nerves, so he managed to maintain his balance and did not fall from the sky.

In order not to continue to suffer mental attacks, Shinji coughed heavily to show his presence.

"I said we'll talk about the confinement later. Don't you care if something happens to me?"

"Oh, that's right." Lizzie realized later, "Are you okay? You must tell me if you are injured. The injuries caused by the 'Holy Nail' are difficult to recover unless you use another special concept weapon. treat."

Liz Byfield's frank attitude and unpretentious reaction dispelled the last doubts in Shen Er's mind. He landed from the sky, spread out his left hand and waved it in front of Liz Byfield's eyes.

"Fortunately, I reacted in time and was not injured, otherwise - hum~"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Liz Baifei lowered her head in embarrassment, "I accidentally forgot that you are not the target that needs to be annihilated."

"Forget it, you don't seem to be doing it on purpose, so be careful in the future." Shenji sighed.

Originally, this battle was Shenji's fault. If you don't hang Hero Hayama on the cross, you won't offend Liz Byfield. If you weren't curious about Liz Byfei's strength, you wouldn't have started a fight. With the feather shoes, you couldn't just leave if you wanted to. How could a warrior with "short legs" catch up with him?

More importantly, the rewards of this battle have exceeded expectations, so don't worry about some surprises.
