I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

Po River, the largest river in Italy.

Originating from Mount Viso at an altitude of 3841m in the Cotian Mountains at the junction of Italy and France, the river first flows from west to east, then turns north in Saluzzo, passes through Turin and bypasses the Monferrato Highlands, and then flows again in Chivasso. It turns eastward and finally flows into the Adriatic Sea 20km east of Tole Port.

The river has a total length of 652km and a drainage area of ​​approximately 75,000 square kilometers. It runs across the northern part of the country and alluvially forms the Po River Plain. It flows through Turin, Piacenza and other cities. There are many lakes in the middle reaches and lower reaches. Its tributaries include the Tanaro, Scrivia and Trebbia rivers.

The town where "Night of Varzia" took place was near a small water network east of the main trunk of the Po River, and Shinji's escape all the way to the west was to use this largest river in Italy to escape.

Since the Dead Apostles are the prototype of the vampire legend, many of the vampire characteristics in the legend are real, such as sucking human blood, having servants, being afraid of the sun, being able to be cured by baptismal rituals, and being unable to cross running water (only with the body). , rivers, rivers and seas are insurmountable boundaries for them. As far as Shinji knows, the only person who has overcome this is the mutant Dead Apostle, Smiley, who is also one of the twenty-seven ancestors, known as the "Water Demon".

As long as you can enter the Po River, you will be safe. The water of the Po River will wash away the traces left by human activities, and the fact that the Dead Apostles are restrained by the flowing water can also prevent Ottenrose's pursuit.

This is what Shinji thought and did. One can imagine how happy he felt when he heard the sound of the mighty rushing water and saw the river exuding sparkling waves under the moonlight.

However, before the joy of being able to escape could reach his face, his body, which was full of injuries and fatigue, became tense again.

The King of Dead Apostles, dressed in white and with white wings, stood on the bank of the river with a calm and peaceful expression on his face, as if he was just admiring the lake and moonlight.

When he saw Shen Er coming, he greeted him leisurely: "Here he comes, a little later than I expected."

"Then I'm really sorry to disappoint you." Shenji responded while using this precious time to adjust his state.

After fighting fiercely for such a long time, Shenji has already understood the great resilience of the King of Dead Apostles. If he does not want to fall short in this last step, he must seize every minute and every second.

Unfortunately, this little calculation was also seen through by "White Wing Duke". He smiled and flicked his fingers: "I'm not disappointed. I will only be disappointed if I let you escape, so -"

The left claw pulled horizontally, the right claw slashed vertically, and ten invisible slashes blocked Shen Er's escape route from all directions.

"——Please fall down here."

It's not that I don't want to chat with Shenji more, but I don't dare.

Yes, I dare not.

Along the way of pursuit, "White Winged Duke" has forced his prey into desperate situations many times, but at every critical moment, Shen'er will come up with unique tricks to save the day. Ottenrose always felt that it should be the last surprise, but Shenji could always find another way to open a way out for himself when he was in a desperate situation.

Serpent Scythe, Indra's Thunder, Athena's Shield, Hades Cloak, Hermes' Feather Shoes, Diamond Left Arm, Divine Spear Bow and Sword, Rune Magic Bullet, Command Spell Strengthening, Rune Magic .seems to be endless, without end.

If he were not on the bank of the river, not when dawn was about to come, "White Wing Duke" would really like to see how many skills this strange magician has not yet used, even if he would be disgraced, even if he would be injured.

But at this moment, there is no room for "White Wing Duke" to be careless, otherwise the cooked duck will fly away, and he, the ancient king of the Dead Apostles, will become a laughing stock.

Shenji, who knew the enemy's plan, stopped talking. He wanted to use all his strength in the battle.

The Shield of Athena appears, blocking invisible slashes;

The Eyes of Medusa opened, dyeing the world in her eyes gray.

"White Wings", who had already suffered a loss, naturally would not suffer a second loss. The moment the shield appeared, he went directly to the side of Shen Er and started a close fight with Shen Er.

When the two sides shortened to a certain distance, the long weapon Snake Scythe could not be used. Without this weapon that the King of Dead Apostles was most wary of, he could give full play to his own advantages and crush Shinji.

The weapons are useless, the strength is incomparable, and the experience is completely different. I wonder what else you can do?

It has to be said that "White Wing Duke"'s strategy is correct and his style of play is very cautious, but he underestimated Shenji's determination and will, and even more underestimated Shenji's education and broad thinking (brain) - Hunter The Serpent Scythe is sealed, do you really think there is nothing I can do?

His arms were swollen after being beaten by "White Winged Lord", and his mouth and nose were bleeding. A flash of cruelty flashed in Shenji's eyes. He saw a flash of Buddha's light, and the only left hand that could compete with the King of Dead Apostles grabbed the latter's wrist, and then the whole The person bumped into him directly, causing "White Winged Master" to tilt his body.

But before Shenji could let go of his left hand and distance himself from the enemy, "White Wing Master" reacted and grabbed Shenji's left hand with his backhand, and then he also forced himself forward. But instead of hitting like Shinji, he directly stretched out his left paw to grab the magician's head. As long as the vital part is captured, the situation is determined. The King of Dead Apostles has no fewer than ten ways to deprive the magician of his ability to resist.

"White Winged Lord"'s left claw came very quickly, so fast that Shinji didn't even have a chance to raise his hand to block it.

A paw full of confidence came towards me, and I could even see the winning smile of "White Winged Duke" through his fingers.

However, this smile froze when the claws fell.

The sharp claws of Fen Jin Duan Yu Ru Qie Tofu actually went right through the mask on the magician's face, and then passed through the head behind the mask.

There were no fragments of the mask, no blood, no brains, nothing at all, as if what he was holding on to was just a ball of air.

Illusion? But what about the left hand clasped by the right hand?

It turns out that the special effects disguise of Hades' cloak only affects the various senses of the living body, rather than directly changing the appearance and posture. Shinji's disguised height is 180cm, which is very common among Westerners, but his actual height is less than 150cm. If you try to catch your head according to the disguised height, it will naturally fail because the height is too high.

In order to avoid being spotted by others, Shinji tried his best not to have direct contact with people in his disguised form, especially his upper body. At this time, in order to plot against "White Wing Gong", he suddenly had a whim and did the opposite, and the effect was surprisingly good.

Before "White Wing Master" could react to what was going on, thunder suddenly rang in his ears, and raging golden lightning suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

The magician's right hand, whose "head" was pierced by sharp claws, was holding the most destructive golden magic weapon upside down. The heart-stopping thunder inside the black pearl at the end of the magic weapon was unpredictable.
