Pendragon's Infinity Gauntlet

Page 118

Of course, we still had to leave as soon as possible; it was too dangerous to involve ordinary people like the little boy in a magical event.

As Jingshen walked alone down the street, she blew on the bite marks on her arm and thought to herself.

She was supposed to go to the bathhouse with the cute silver-haired Xiu Nan, but because of some tough-girl remarks, she got a beating from the Forbidden Book Index and ended up alone.

It's true, I clearly had a chance to find a partner, even though the other person was a mysterious male cultivator with an unknown background who liked to bite people and had no memory of his past...

Hmm, now that you mention it, he doesn't seem like a suitable romantic partner at all.

As the sidewalk turned from green to red, Jing Shen suddenly realized that there wasn't a single person on the street tonight.

The streets, which used to see occasional vehicles passing by, suddenly became deserted!

The shops along the street were still lit up, the neon signs were flashing, and the large screens outside the buildings were playing advertisements on a loop... The street, which should have been bustling, was so empty and quiet. The stark contrast made me feel nauseous.

"Lights... shining brightly?"

"Clang!" "Clang!" "Clang!"

The quiet street was suddenly filled with unhurried footsteps. As if sensing Jing Shen's confusion, a male voice from behind explained the situation:

"Rune."

Jing Shen panicked and turned around abruptly, only to see...emmmmm, a very demonic man.

This man was tall and had well-proportioned muscles. Under normal circumstances, Jing Shen might have secretly swallowed and looked him up and down with lustful eyes, but his words...

"It only used a rune to ward off idlers."

Without a doubt, the other party was Tyr's companion. The fact that he dared to appear so openly after Tyr's defeat clearly showed that he was very confident in his own strength.

What struck Jing Shen as bewitching was his attire. It's unclear if all magicians favor such unconventional fashion, but while the handsome man before her was strikingly good-looking, his completely asymmetrical and eclectic outfit was simply toxic.

The shoes were identical, one a short shoe and the other a long boot. The slim-fit jeans had one leg cut off, exposing her long, straight legs to the air.

He was wearing a white t-shirt, but it was rolled up and tied in a knot on the right side; as for his hairstyle, it was even stranger, with the left side of his head shaved bald, and on the right side of the neat center line, half of his smooth, long hair was no less beautiful than Jing Shen's!

It has to be said that high looks allow for any kind of capriciousness. This tasteless, even rather chaotic, style somehow gives Jing Shen a sense of increasing enjoyment the more she looks at it; it's practically addictive.

The man, carrying a long nodachi, spoke in a calm, unwavering tone as Jōjin's gaze fell upon him: "My name is Kanzaki Mizuki."

"puff."

Even Pendragon, who was watching the live stream on his personal computer, couldn't help but burst out laughing. This... this Kanzaki is toxic, isn't she?

It's one thing to mix and match outfits, but even the names have been reversed?

"..."

Jing Shen looked alert and remained silent.

"If possible, I don't want to use another name."

"Another name?"

The girl was a little confused and asked instinctively.

"It's the magic name Des."

Kanzaki's tone remained unchanged as she spoke these words with a blank expression.

The calm, indifferent gaze instantly reminded Jing Shen of her previous encounter with Tyr, the woman with a barcode tattooed below her eye who had once said…

When a magician utters a spell's name, it means their intent to kill is absolute. To a magician, a spell's name signifies "certain death."

Are you also a member of a magic society?

"Let me be frank, I hope to take him back for protection before I reveal my magical name."

Kanzaki still looked at her with an aloof expression, her gaze and tone unchanged.

P.S.: Today, since no one was playing games with me, I finally managed to finish the update from the day I took a day off, without taking up too much computer space.

Chapter 202 Seven Flashes

Chapter 202

"What if I say no?"

Jing Shen clenched her fists, her eyes filled with determination and defiance, and glared fiercely at the man.

"Then there's no way."

For the first time, the man's expression changed. He sighed helplessly, then said in a calm tone as if announcing a fact, "I will reveal the magic name and forcibly take her back for protection."

Then, as soon as Kanzaki finished speaking, she drew her sword and slashed out from a distance.

"call out!"

It felt as if something extremely sharp had ripped through the air; Jing Shen felt a bone-chilling cold on the left side of his face, causing him to freeze.

Something must have just grazed my face; that strand of hair falling out is proof of that.

"boom!"

One of the wind turbine blades behind them was severed and sent flying a great distance before crashing heavily to the ground, instantly cracking the hard concrete.

These are fan blades that are as tall as three or four stories. They were transported using large trucks and were cut off at such a distance. Who could withstand that?

With a blank expression, Kanzaki sheathed her sword. Compared to Jōgami's shocked face, Kanzaki's unchanging expression made it seem as if she had only done something insignificant, a basic operation, nothing to brag about.

"I want to ask again."

The girl, Jing Shen, was brought back to her senses by the man's voice. She swallowed hard and looked away from the crater left by the generator blades.

"I want to take her back to protect her before I reveal my magical name."

The man gripped the knife hilt, and his eyes turned dangerous.

Jing Shen broke out in a cold sweat, but she still retorted firmly.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Although she was so frightened that she could hardly stand, and her long legs were trembling, she still forced herself to continue.

"I have no reason to surrender to you."

Yesterday's battle taught her that her right hand could also be used against magic, meaning she wasn't without a chance of defeating him, as long as she could make good use of the scientific knowledge she had learned at school...

Both legs trembled, and they almost ran away first.

Despite her current state, the God of Purification has not succumbed to her fear and stands here facing this terrifying magician.

"I can ask as many times as you want."

Kanzaki closed her eyes, her slender fingers lightly touching the hilt of the sword.

"hiss!"

The wind was torn apart!

This is the wound of the wind!

An invisible sharpness swept through the violent airflow, starting from the man's feet, and the solid cement road was easily torn apart as if it were tofu.

The three slashes, which tore through the ground and were visible to the Pure Goddess, were incredibly powerful. Although they were meant as warnings and avoided directly striking her body, the feeling of the shards of cement being swirled around by the air currents and slamming into her was still very painful and uncomfortable.

Compared to the previous warning, this strike allowed the Goddess of Purity to more directly experience the terrifying destructive power of that man's magic, which terrified her even more!

The places hit by the shards were extremely painful, and there was obvious redness and bruising.

but……

"My ultimate move, 'Seven Flashes,' which is woven from seven swords over seven days, is fast enough to kill seven people in an instant. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a sure kill."

The immense pressure emanating from the man before her caused Jing Shen to grit her teeth and stare intently.

It's okay, it's all an illusion, it won't scare me.

"Seven flashes? Seven cuts? I can't even see one clearly."

However, if I use my invincible right hand...

Jing Shen looked at his right arm and clenched his fist tightly.

Kanzaki saw her actions, and as if she wanted to subdue the enemy without a fight, Kanzaki started again before Jōjin could respond.

“I’ve read Tyr’s report. Your right hand can completely erase magic for some unknown reason. But as long as your right hand can’t touch it, it can’t work, right?”

"You can give it a try."

Before the man opposite her could launch an attack, Jing Shen began her sprint.

Now that she's thought about it, she's starting to feel that this magician seems a bit weak? He doesn't seem to want to hurt her? But it's impossible for him to give up the Index of Forbidden Books, so she has no choice but to give it a try.

"Seven Flashes."

Kanzaki glanced indifferently at Jōjin, then a sharp metallic tremor emanated from her right hand holding the sword, and the ground-slicing strike was unleashed once more.

This attack again avoided the trajectory that could directly strike the God of Purification, instead using the sword wind of "Seven Flashes" and the cement fragments it generated to block the attack.

Before Jing Shen's right hand could be used, the girl's light body was directly pressed down by the wind pressure. Shards of stone struck her like raindrops, and the sharp air currents even cut Jing Shen's cheek, with warm blood flowing down her cheekbone.

"hateful!"

"I can ask as many times as I want..."

Kanzaki saw the defiant look in the girl's eyes as she rose from the ground, and her own expression changed. Her slender eyebrows arched upwards, causing her brows to furrow slightly, and her gaze gradually became sharp.

He seemed a little angry.

"I don't know why you're willing to risk your life to this extent."

As he spoke, he unleashed the Seven Flashes once more, slashing past Jing Shen.

"This guy is kind of adorably dumb."

Pendragon watched the entire live stream. To be honest, Kanzaki's behavior was just like Pendragon looking in a full-length mirror and saying, "I'm a tough guy today," or Rin saying that she's super fierce—completely lacking in any deterrent effect.

The guy he encountered was a complete naive newbie from the scientific side; he had no idea how strong you were.

Of course, given Jing Shen's personality, even if you really broke both her legs, she would probably crawl over to stop you.

"If you still can't hit, you'll soon become a member of the harem."

Pendragon didn't get any melons today, but Rin made a sweet soup, which was very nourishing.

Kanzaki's numerous "Seven Flashes" failed to frighten Jōjin at all. Instead, the girl, with her long hair trailing behind her, charged towards him at an even faster speed, extending her right hand as she lunged forward.

This time, the name of the move was not announced, and the "Seven Flashes" that was cast instantly did not completely avoid the Cleansing Spirit, but instead targeted her right hand.

Since she still holds onto hope for the strength in her right hand, then let him shatter this futile fantasy.

If she realizes that her right hand is useless against "Seven Flashes", she will probably give up... right?

One after another, extremely fine and long wounds kept opening up. For the first time, Jing Shen's right hand was rendered useless when facing supernatural power!

The gushing blood shaped like a flower, then was blown away by the intense sword wind of "Seven Flashes," and Jing Shen's body flew backward again, crashing heavily to the ground.

P.S.: Goodnight, I'm sleeping on the keyboard again tonight.

Chapter 203 Halo Effect

Chapter 203

Her eyes were almost closed, her vision blurred. Then, through this hazy perspective, she saw countless steel wires densely packed in the air!

Because the diameter of the steel wire is extremely thin, even much thinner than a hair, it is completely invisible to the naked eye when distributed in the air.

If it weren't for the fact that Jing Shen happened to be sitting on the ground and found an angle where she could see the reflection of the steel wire, she doesn't know how long she would have been misled.

"She was using the motion of swinging her knife to cover up her attack. I thought she was drawing her knife so fast that it was invisible to the naked eye."

Kanzaki's attack was clearly heavily underwhelming. Although Jōjin's right hand suffered many wounds, they were all very superficial superficial injuries, and the bleeding stopped automatically without any treatment.

"So...you're not a magician after all?"

Jing Shen realized that she had been misled. This man had created the impression of "I am a magic user" from the beginning, but when he actually fought, he was a physical attacker.

“I should have said that I heard the details from Tyr.”

Kanzaki had this expression on her face as she stood amidst countless steel wires, maintaining the posture for activating "Seven Flashes".

"Then, your long sword..."
