Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 1197 Big Brawl

Originally, for a type like Shizuka Hiratsuka, Luther was planning to give her the Backlight Sword.

Because he felt that Shizuka Hiratsuka was very similar to Bazette, but after thinking about it, he changed his mind and gave Shizuka Hiratsuka the "Knight Does Not Die Barehanded".

The causal ability of the Backlight Sword, which allows it to strike last but arrive first, is not really that powerful. In comparison, the knight not dying with his bare hands is the most suitable thing for Shizuka Hiratsuka.

Shizuka Hiratsuka tried out the ability of "Knights cannot die with bare hands".

The black and red spiritual power on the arm armor surged like a living thing, completely devouring the cold and hard texture of the metal and transforming it into a hot breath that seemed to be able to melt everything.

She punched the ground, and a big hole was created by her punch.

This blow not only left a deep mark on the ground, but also planted a longing for the infinite possibilities of the treasure in her heart.

"So strong!"

Hiratsuka Shizuka was surprised. If it were her, she would not be able to do the same even if she used all her strength. However, after transforming the arm armor into a treasure, she did it easily without even using half of her spiritual power.

With this treasure, Hiratsuka Shizuka felt that her strength had more than doubled.

Is this the power brought by the Noble Phantasm?
Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha.

What she got was a magic gun.

The whole body is as red as blood, but it also reveals a cold texture like jade, and a texture like red agate that reveals a bit of coldness.

Its name is the Piercing Death Spear!
Kasumigaoka Utaha tried to use this magic spear.

"Piercing Death Spear!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha sang softly, and as her real name was called, the gun body suddenly lit up with a dazzling red light, as if awakened by some mysterious power.

The air around began to surge, and the invisible wind gathered into a vortex, swirling around the tip of the gun, causing bursts of whistling, which was awe-inspiring.

Driven by this power, Kasumigaoka Utaha felt an unprecedented impulse, driving her to throw out the magic spear.

She followed the impulse and swung her arm. The piercing death spear shot out like an arrow, cutting through the air with a sharp whistle, and headed straight for a huge rock in front of her.

The moment the gun left his hand, the air seemed to be torn apart, and a deafening sonic boom sounded, accompanied by the sharp whistle of the gun tip cutting through the air, and a hot breath spread out.

The piercing death spear drew a brilliant arc in the air. Wherever it passed, the air seemed to be ignited, leaving behind a series of fiery red tracks.

Those were the sparks produced by the friction between spiritual power and air. They were so beautiful that they made people's heart flutter, but they were also full of the breath of destruction.

When it hit its target, a stone half a person's height, there was no expected impact sound, only a slight "bang". The surface of the stone seemed to be penetrated by an invisible force, leaving a fist-sized hole with no cracks around it, as if that part of the space was directly wiped out without even any debris left.

What is even more surprising is that after completing the attack, the Piercing Death Flying Spear did not fall to the ground. Instead, the magic spear drew a graceful arc in the air and returned to Kasumigaoka Utaha's hand on its own. The whole process was smooth and natural, as if it had self-awareness.

Kasumigaoka Utaha caught the returning magic spear, with an incredible light flashing in her eyes.

She quickly stepped forward and carefully examined the stone that was penetrated. The edge of the hole was smooth and flat, without any signs of damage. This proved that the penetration of the Death Spear was so strong that it had surpassed the limits of conventional physical laws. Moreover, she also found that the magic spear seemed to release a special force when attacking. This force could instantly decompose the matter it touched, making the target seem to have "disappeared" visually.

"Is this... is this true?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha murmured to herself, with excitement and anxiety in her eyes.

She realized that possessing such a treasure meant that she would have nearly unstoppable means of attack in battle, and that it would produce effects beyond imagination, whether in long-range or close combat.

More importantly, the tracking ability demonstrated by the magic gun allows her to maintain a very high hit rate even when facing moving targets, which undoubtedly greatly enhances her combat flexibility and survivability.

Seeing this, Shizuka Hiratsuka smiled. She understood Kasumigaoka Utaha's feelings because she was also going through the same journey.

"It looks like we've all gotten something incredible."

Hiratsuka Shizuka was the first to break the silence, her tone mixed with a hint of teasing and seriousness.

"Yes."

Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't let it go. This piercing death spear seemed tailor-made for her. After all, she was weak in close combat. But now that she had this treasure, things were different.

You just need to throw it and you will definitely hit the target. The range is also very long and you can throw it within your line of sight.

It was a pretty fool-proof operation. After all, Luther also took into consideration Kasumigaoka Utaha's combat level and talent.

She's not a character like Busujima Saeko or Karaage Saya. It's not possible to use a powerful Noble Phantasm that's too powerful for her.
And if she is given a weak treasure, then it all depends on her operation, which is even worse.

Therefore, no matter what, the Death Flying Spear is more suitable.

Kyoto!

This place had already been abandoned because of the giant beast's nest, and the subsequent leakage of chemical gases made this land a forbidden zone for life. The once prosperous streets are now dead silent and desolate.

However, in this seemingly hopeless land, a new wave of enthusiasm is quietly rising.

The news spread like wildfire. The Noble Phantasm was a mysterious treasure that could grant its holder extraordinary powers, enough to allow a person to transcend the limits of mortals and become a truly powerful being.

This news was like a shot in the arm, attracting mercenaries, assassins, martial artists, and even secret forces from certain countries from all over the world. They flocked to Kyoto, eager to find the key to changing their destiny in these ruins.

In this land where chaos and opportunities coexist, a tall middle-aged man with a beer belly stands out.

His name is Jack Reno. He was once the commander of a special forces unit in a certain country. After retiring, he became a mercenary leader. The two pistols hanging around his waist are a testimony to his countless battles.

His teeth were dark yellow from long-term chewing of betel nuts, but this did not affect his prestige in the team. Whenever he showed his signature smile, he could always inspire the fighting spirit of his men.

"Everyone, cheer up!" Jack stood in front of a makeshift command post and shouted to the mercenaries who had gathered together. His voice was like thunder, penetrating the morning mist, making everyone who heard it feel an invisible pressure.
