Chương 150: Chapter 37:”Decisive Battle on Fatal Express 2″

Lilna disappeared from the front with 《Passtrive》 immediately. As usual, she comes to kill with full power. Her specialty tactic. Without looking back, I concentrated my spirit and stepped in strongly with my right foot. A step strong enough to dent the metal car bekon. Putting weight on that leg as an axis. Releasing the left leg clad in Qi. It's a Qi martial art of leg techniques that I couldn't do because I lacked Qi all the time in this world.

《Qi Retsukyaku》 (Qi Rending Kick) The aimed powerful kick captured her body. Which was about to shift to attack right next to me, before she dodged with warp again. A dull sensation ga-tto is transmitted. Not the feeling of capturing the core of the body. However, since the power of the 『World of Heart』 is also added, it was not repelled by the barrier either. Apparently, she turned her arm instantly and guarded. As expected, she is used to fighting.

"《Deatress》 again...!" As soon as she said in a voice unable to hide surprise, she disappeared again. A slash approaches from the blind spot. Even that, if I read killing intent, I know the position. Swinging the Qi Sword through where I sensed. Then, this time it is avoided by warp perfectly. Without panicking, I twist my body kururi. Matching the sword to her reappearance position without killing the momentum of the attack. Mutual light blades collide and scatter dazzling sparks.

How many times has this composition been repeated. Looking at it, her right arm was hanging somewhat sloppily. It doesn't feel completely useless, but it seems she can't move it properly for a while. The damage of 《Qi Retsukyaku》 slammed suddenly seems to have passed firmly. With this, both one-armed. Glad I could bring it to an equal situation at an early stage.

"As expected, you are a strong enemy."

"You are really strong too." While crossing swords, she looked somewhat happy. It was the first time I saw her making such a face in the middle of a fight. What on earth changed her, even just a little?

"That makes you worth killing!"

"Spare me with just one arm!" She disappeared again. While repeating Short Warp, launching a raging attack with phantasmagoric movements. I thought about it using it myself, but it's really a troublesome and convenient ability. If it were me a few years ago, how many times would I have lost my life? Anyway, it was effective now. I take her attacks, dodge them sometimes, and can counterattack aiming for gaps.

I was able to keep up with her movements, whose speed has improved far in Buster Trive Mode, without problems." 《Frazor》" Almost simultaneously as she declared it. A tremendous number of light bullets are fired enough to fill the vision. Turning the surroundings into a beehive. Here it comes. The attack that completely beat me last time! At that time, I had no choice but to turn to defense with all my might. As a result, a fatal gap was created. This time it won't go like that.

Focusing only on the parts on the hit trajectory, strengthening defense intensively. Maintain a posture where I can counterattack without flinching. 《Intensive Guard》 The Qi protection strengthened at pinpoint repelled light bullets without danger. Although the number is demonically large, the power of each one is not so fearful. While maintaining protection, if I charge somewhat forcibly. This time it was Lilna who exposed a gap.

Recognizing that I entered a posture to swing the sword, she stops shooting immediately and shifts to evasive action. But, just a little late. Before disappearing by instant teleportation, I was able to slash around the chest, although shallowly. Didn't become a decisive blow, huh. As expected of Lilna. After that, offense and defense continue back and forth. Perhaps realizing that repeating warp blindly is seen through. Speaking only of frequency of disappearing, it was decreasing.

Instead, she started to use it technically, such as aiming for the posture immediately after the attack, or daring to shift the timing. Combat experience value is high after all. Her strength lies in knowing herself and using functions fully. Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences. Although I continued to avoid fatal wounds, I made several shallow wounds. Vermilion was oozing jiwari on my clothes. More than this is bad. Because I lost blood originally.

Lilna is not unscathed either. Absolute defense makes no sense, and cuts were made here and there on the machine body by my Qi Sword. Perhaps mobility parts have been damaged, impatience is gradually seen on the other side too. Eventually, the end of the umpteenth sword locking. To us who took distance from each other, a common understanding was born. This fight won't be long anymore.

"I didn't think I would receive this much damage."

"I told you. It's different from before."

"... 《Deatress》 release. Shifting to Hyper Attack Mode." The light blades popping out from both her gauntlets strengthened their shine even more intensely. Terrifying energy is concentrated. Admitting that my attack breaks through 《Deatress》, Lilna seems to have changed to an attack-specialized type gracefully. Her right arm was also reviving gradually. If this much time passes, as expected, it started moving.

"Is the name of that grandiose mode the designer's hobby?"

"Who knows. Let's settle this soon."

"I'll ask one last time. Won't you stop around here?"

"... I want to win against you properly until the end."

"I see. Want to win, huh."

"Don't run away anymore. Do you intend to make me chase any further?"

"... Understood. I'll intercept with full power." Words were no longer needed. Both intend to bet everything on the next blow. Putting power into the weapons we hold. The Qi Sword changes from white to eye-opening Blue-White. And. As if arranged, we started running simultaneously." 《Inclear Hearts》"" 《Senkraze》" With the fastest thrusting form, I head towards her. She also closes the distance at once in an instant without time to blink. Thrusting out the brilliant twin swords from her hands.

Qi Sword can change shape to some extent. I intended to thin the sword tip and stretch it, and sharpen it to the limit. Fighting up to here, I understood well. Even if I use 《Mind Burst》. Lilna is strong. Frustrating, but I can't win in ability yet. If fighting in the arena of killing each other. If hitting blades head-on like this. The ending is my defeat. And death. Therefore. Aim is only one point. It's the final push. With desperate resolution, apply propulsion by Qi. Pierce! 《Burst》! Just before colliding.

My Qi Sword stretched with explosive momentum. And. Just slightly faster than the opponent's blade reached—. Her chest. Extremely thin, sharp. Pierced accurately only one point. At that time, her blade was—. Stopped abruptly just where it touched my neck. —I believed in the real you. Lilna.

"Fu, fufu..." A dry smile leaks from her mouth. Eventually unable to endure it, she began to laugh heartily happily from the bottom of her heart.

"Yu! You are really a Naive Guy!" She has a refreshed face as if a possessing thing fell off. In the transparent blue eyes, there is no turbidity of hatred anymore. Very beautiful eyes, I thought. Right. Naturally, from the beginning, my aim was not her life or anything. The most disturbing CPD (Thing) possessing her chest. Only that.

"In terms of killing each other, apparently it's my win." A little strength is put into the blade touching the neck perfectly. When I felt pain chikuri, she smiled softly fu-tto. And put away the blade easily. I also released the Qi Sword piercing her. Since I aimed only at the CPD accurately, there should be no damage to the Power Reactor.

"But, in terms of the match... I lost. Complete defeat." Looking down with a face truly regretful, she clenches her fist tightly. Hating to lose and being persistent must be her original personality. Eventually raising her face, she asked with slightly blaming eyes.

"Didn't you think I would behead you as it was?"

"Well who knows. But well, if it was my miscalculation, that would have been it."

"Hmph. Really a strange guy. You are." From then on, she finally became willing to talk honestly. Since there is no time, I tell the circumstances briefly. She seemed quite shocked. While listening, she was trembling her shoulders furu-furu. Apparently she herself had already fallen into a state of half-doubt when she fought William. Still, prioritizing the settlement with me first was probably because she wanted to make it clear black and white no matter what.

Without turning her eyes away from killing intent and doubt dwelling in herself at all. Although it was hard, I thought it was really like her who is straight. There, a communication device rang in her pocket. She said "Excuse me" and answers immediately. Apparently the opponent is Tranity. Talking for a while, she cut the communication. On the way, she raised her voice strangely, but what happened?

"What was the story?"

"Nothing you need to know particularly." Lilna sighed saying "good grief". Come to think of it, she is a Captain of a platoon. Maybe she is having a hard time dealing with subordinates with this.

"Will you come with us?" I tried inviting her, but Lilna shook her head quietly.

"No. I still have things to do in the capital." I see. Certainly so. There must be mountains of things only she, who is close to the center of Natura, can do. I stared at her determined eyes. Knowing her with a strong sense of responsibility. Surely she intends to do what she can in her own way. I dared not say anything.

"Now. Disconnect the last car immediately. Dieclan is coming soon." When I did as told, she transformed her right hand into a gun barrel." 《Selphanon》" Intermediate point between me and her. Towards the ceiling of the empty tunnel, it was fired. Receiving intense impact, the tunnel collapses making a sound gara-gara. Cut off the means of pursuit, huh. Grateful. From beyond the piling up rubble. Lilna continued to stare here with straight hot eyes.

"I'll definitely return this debt someday. Wait for me."

"Yeah. I'll be waiting." For the first time since coming to this world, a sunny feeling filled my heart. What was sacrificed is too big. There were many lives that couldn't be saved. It was a painful battle everywhere. But, finally. Finally started. The real battle. Eventually, prior to Dieclan, Plato arrived there first. Finding Lilna standing alone potsun-to on the only remaining car, he rushed over in a hurry.

"Lilna. Why did you rush ahead alone. I was worried."

"Plato, huh. Sorry. They escaped."

"Seems you have many injuries but... are you okay? Shouldn't you receive maintenance once?"

"No, I don't mind. I am very 『Normal』. As soon as we return to the capital and prepare our stance, we chase them immediately."

"Yeah. That's right..." Epilogue: Conversation between Lilna and Tranity 『Helloo. Lilnacchi. 』"Tranity, huh. Did you become able to move?" 『Yes. Finally repair is over, and I became able to move. More than that, chasing the enemy all alone, what are you thinking. Geez! 』"My bad. I couldn't sit still." 『But please rest assured. It's about time for everyone from Dieclan to catch up there. 』"I see. Understood. So, how is the repair?" 『Umm.

Seems I have to order only the part called CP-something from the Central Factory. Other than that, nothing in particular. 』"Good. Just right. I have a favor to ask you. A little secretly." 『Ehh!? Me, such... If it's Lilnacchi, it's okay but... But suddenly, mental preparation is... 』"What on earth are you thinking, you! It must be a serious story. I'll tell you the details later." 『Oka~y. Roge~r. See you then♪』"Yeah. See you."
