I must draw my sword immediately!

Chapter 52 Counterfeits of Truth

Chapter 52 Counterfeits of Truth
200 meters distance
If the Noble Phantasm's power could allow for a breakthrough in an instant, but the Noble Phantasm had already been used in the battle against the assassins, there would be a little time before it was ready to be used again.

Therefore,
Suya can only rely on her own abilities to overcome this distance.

And at this moment,
200 meters away, Porgos also saw Suya appear before him, and saw Suya's rather strange and swift steps.

He couldn't help but frown slightly.
"An assassin who hasn't mastered Qi yet, but whose physique has already met the standards?"

"How exactly did Elliott conduct his reconnaissance?"

"Well, so be it. Although there have been one unexpected incident after another, it's really too foolish for a third-rate assassin to choose to oppose me, who has already set up a barrier!"

He calmly turned around, raised the illusory azure longbow in his hand, aimed at Suya, and slowly pulled the bowstring with three fingers.

As the bowstring was pulled, visible airflow rapidly converged towards the bow, forming a blue arrow on the half-drawn longbow.

And at this moment,
Suya frowned slightly as she watched this scene unfold, sensing that as the opponent's magic arrow took shape...
The magical circuits within him, which he inherited from Arthur Pendragon and resembled some kind of extra 'organ', suddenly trembled slightly.

After witnessing the other party perform the magic trick
Suya almost instinctively realized that her magical attribute was the same as the attribute of the magic spell the other party was performing, both belonging to the 'imaginary' attribute among the seven elements of earth, water, fire, wind, void, nothingness, and non-existence.

This is a rare talent possessed by only a very few people, and in magic it is defined as 'something that is possible, but does not exist in the material world'.

It's as if he was born with this kind of thing.

Then, this peculiar magic, which had only been born in his circuit until today, immediately began to spontaneously imitate this action, constantly simulating and trying to manifest the same miracle as the other party.

This unusual organ movement, like a heart pounding uncontrollably, struck Suya as rather strange.
And at the same time,

The enemy, Pergos, who also felt this strange sensation, frowned once more.

"This kid actually possesses the innate 'imaginary number' attribute?"

Upon realizing this, a murderous intent immediately rose in Porgos's eyes!
The magicians of Lucien believed that the Root was the "first cause of the world," and in order to reach the Root, they attempted to build an ultimate model that covered reality and encompassed all cause and effect and logic.

And Suya, a person with the 'imaginary number' attribute,
His birth, his existence, his actions, even the magic he used, and the impact he had on the world.
They are all things that completely contradict what the magician Lyceum pursues, things that cannot be explained, contained, or even reproduced by logic.

This is a counterfeit of truth.
It is the greatest desecration of truth itself!

then,

now,

Upon realizing that such an illogical object had appeared in his field of vision, Pergos immediately abandoned his original plan to kill Meryl first.

Moreover, with Sua interfering and Melly possessing defensive magic, this plan would be difficult to implement.

Therefore,
He chose—

Porgos stared coldly at Suya, and after releasing the arrow, he snapped his fingers without hesitation.

Sudden!
"Snapped!"

The whistling of arrows tearing through the air and the crisp snap of fingers rang out at the same time!

Suya suddenly felt her footing loosen, and the entire clod of earth beneath her feet immediately began to turn into muddy water.
He immediately leaped up, stepping on the gradually softening ground, and plunged his sword into a protruding clod of earth on his right.
He straightened his back, swung back, and as he drew his sword, leaped towards another clod of earth.
however,
Forced by the terrain, he had just leaped down when he was met with a powerful and heavy arrow!

In the critical moment, Suya tiptoed, using her exceptional balance to stop her forward momentum, raised her hand and swung her sword, deflecting the arrow that was aimed at her before it could reach her.
Then, with a haphazard yet strangely beautiful gait, he shifted five meters to the right, dodging the second arrow that Porgos fired during the process.

With the help of the [Swift Leap], the person leaps forward two meters high, landing on another platform.
Like a ninja, constantly moving quickly by tapping the ground with the toes.
Leaping onto or jumping from one platform to another,
Holding the longsword in his hand, he constantly dodged or deflected the arrows shot at him, rapidly approaching the magician who held the longbow!

200 meters,
150 meters,
100 meters!
50 meters!
Even in the 200-meter obstacle course, which involves traversing platforms with drops of 2 to 5 meters, the superior speed and agility of combat skills far exceeding those of ordinary people allow for exceptional performance.
Suya can use her hands, feet, and sword simultaneously to get close to her opponent within a minute!
And on the other side,
Porgos had already drawn his longbow again, his gaze calmly fixed on Suya, who was rapidly approaching him like a elusive flea.
But soon, he released the bowstring.
With his archer class only at the average professional level, it would be difficult for him to lock onto Suya, who possessed such proficiency in Swift Step.
However, he is also a magician.

Pergos slowly raised his left hand, and the magic bow disappeared from his hand, replaced by a bone staff that appeared out of thin air and fell into his hand.

He stared at Suya, who was about to rush within three squares of him, almost right in front of him, and a mocking smirk appeared on his face.
He gripped his staff and slammed it into the ground!
A white ripple quickly spread out from his feet, covering all nine square blocks of earth around him!
The next moment,
Only the tallest platform, ten meters high, where Pergos stood, remained. The eight earthen platforms surrounding him, arranged in a nine-square grid, had all collapsed and sunk into sand and dust!

then,

A sudden storm broke out!

The long hair on Porgos's forehead and his academic robes billowed and fluttered upwards in the strong wind.

An invisible wind wall composed of countless tiny wind blades rose from the ground and stood around him!

When this wall of wind blades suddenly rose up
Suya, charging headlong into the enemy lines, barely managed to stop before the wind wall.

A blade of wind grazed his face, leaving a bloody gash, which made Su Ya's expression turn grim.

He immediately leaped back, pulled out a stack of four throwing knives from the pouch tied behind his back, and hurled them at the wall of wind!

however,
"when!"

"when!"

Even a throwing knife enhanced with both E-level strength and the [Throwing] combat skill, after piercing through the wind wall, can only reach a maximum of two-thirds of its length before being bounced into the sky by countless tiny wind blades.

Within the boundary,
Seeing Suya's futile actions, Porgos's lips curled into a mocking smile.

Under his magical control, the omnipresent earth before him can manipulate the four elements to reverse the 'failed' logic of generating elements from ether blocks.

As long as one stands on this land filled with etheric blocks imbued with his magic, one can reverse the logical process and transform ordinary sand into the three elements of water, fire, and wind using ether as a medium!

And then,

With the wind wall protecting him, he was already in an invincible position. All he needed to do was continue to manipulate the terrain, just like before, to force Suya to keep running away, and he could exhaust Suya's strength and drive him to his death!

however,
next moment,
Porgos, who thought victory was assured, then saw—

Outside the wind wall,

Suya frowned after her unsuccessful attempt to throw the knife, and took a deep breath.

then,

He slowly raised his hand, and the dense crimson magic circuits all over his body lit up at once!

A dark red light bloomed in his hand, slowly forming a large, 1.5-meter-long phantom bow!

Inside the Wind Blade Wall,
Porgos's gaze froze, and the smile on his face stiffened slightly.
