"...An interesting show?"
"For you who are about to die, there is no need to know."
The conversation ended here, and Noin released countless magic spells and silver feathers, taking action to restart the battle.
However, both in power and sheer numbers, she displayed a strength on a completely different level. Each of her silver feathers possessed power approaching that of a railgun, and her magic was nearly top-tier. Upon closer inspection, Noin's entire body was shrouded in silvery magic, exuding a significantly increased sense of oppression. It was a sight reminiscent of the "Limit Break" technique used by Hajime and Kouki.
“Hmm!”
Despite being taken aback by the overwhelming onslaught, Hajime fought back, holding the Mejri in his right hand and the Shuragan in his left. The Mejri roared, unleashing a destructive force of 10,000 ryo per minute, negating the silver feathers and magic. The Shuragan shattered everything in its path, advancing directly towards Noin.
However, Noin, whose body was covered with a layer of silver light, moved completely differently from before.
Just as Shurajan's red bombardment was about to hit Noin, she disappeared like a cloud of mist and then reappeared a few meters away.
Noin's movement speed exceeded the silver feathers he launched. Because the speed was too fast, even afterimages appeared, making his body always have double or triple phantoms.
Although Hajime fired explosive shrapnel from the cross-shaped floating cannons configured for "prediction", it still only hit the afterimage.
Noin's figure suddenly disappeared, and the next moment, she was behind Shi, dragging her afterimage with her. Then, she spun violently like a top, swinging her two greatswords with centrifugal force.
“Pfft!”
Noin's final move even surpassed Hajime's perception in the "Blink" state, and it was a completely unexpected attack.
Hajime leaned back, barely avoiding the direct attack, but in that instant the Shurajian he had used to block it was cut in half. The energy contained within the Shurajian exploded, causing a massive explosion between Hajime and Noin.
The explosion delayed Noin's pursuit for a moment, but it was enough for Hajime to launch a counterattack.
Red magic energy gushed out from Hajime's entire body, gradually covering his body. This was a "Limit Breakthrough".
Noin took a step forward, and Hajime also took a step forward. What he held in his hand was not Mejerai, but Donal & Hulak.
Next comes the close combat.
“Kill it!!”
“Drink aa ...
Noin brought down the first greatsword vertically, and Shi dodged sideways. Noin seized the perfect moment and swung the second greatsword horizontally towards Shi's body.
Hajime used the barrel of the Hulak's gun to push the greatsword upwards, and at the same time, fired a shot from the electromagnetic cannon at the sword's spine, sending the greatsword flying upwards. He aimed the Donar in his right hand at Noin's heart.
A red flash shot out, leaving behind an afterimage of Noin. He turned around to avoid the bullet and raised the greatsword of One that he had swung down.
At the point where the blades of Shulak and Ichi's greatsword intersected, Hajime used the 'Concentrated Strengthening' of 'Vajra' to increase its hardness to several times its normal level, thereby resisting decomposition, and pushed Shulak upwards, causing the greatsword to deviate from its trajectory.
Facing the horizontal swing of the Second Great Sword, Hajime also applied the "Concentration Strengthening" of "Vajra" to Donal, blocked the attack with the muzzle of Donal's gun, and then fired directly. As the gunshot rang out, a flash bomb fired to open the Second Great Sword.
At extremely close range, they used all their skills to dodge, neutralize, and block each other's weapons, attempting to deliver a fatal blow.
The two even forgot to breathe or blink, and continued to use their fatal attacks:
“Ooo ...
“Drink aa ...
Before they knew it, both Shiji and Noin were shouting at each other.
If there is any error in the use of even a muscle or a nerve, death will occur instantly in the next moment.
There was no time to think or judge the attacks between them. They could only rely on instinct and experience, and on swift swordsmanship and marksmanship to take as much of the opponent's life as possible.
The silver sword light left several tracks in the dark night, and the red flashes scattered in all directions like blood.
If the two figures, gleaming silver and red, were the sun, their attacks would be like the sun's flare. With each passing second, each time they dodged their opponent's attack, their speed grew endlessly.
Meanwhile, the minor scrapes gradually left both of them covered in blood. Hajime had shallow cuts all over his body, and Noin's body was dripping with blood from where the bullet had penetrated.
Hajime's fighting skills are on par with Noin's.
This attack and defense seemed to last forever, but in reality, it was Hajime who was at a disadvantage. No, to be more precise, he would be at a disadvantage.
Hajime also understood this, because Noin had not consumed any magic power since the battle began.
It goes without saying that Hajime's "Limit Break" has a time limit. Once the time limit is exceeded, it will be forcibly released and weakened for a period of time. Although Hajime's magic power is strong, it cannot be activated continuously.
In contrast, Noin seems to be receiving a supply of magic power from somewhere at any time, and can actually maintain his enhanced state indefinitely.
Hajime's magic eye stone could see that there was something like a magic stone in Noin's heart that was emitting a strong light, and the light showed no signs of fading.
Shi realized that if he continued like this, he would definitely lose, so he decided to take a gamble.
“Go to hell!!”
As Hajime shouted, the cross floaters also fired at the explosive shrapnel at full power, with such great power that even Hajime would be caught in it.
"Are you crazy?!"
Noin's cold eyes widened slightly, as if he was doubting whether Hajime was sane.
The six cross-shaped floating guns instantly fired dozens of explosive shrapnel, creating countless ripples with Shi and Noin as the center.
Noin immediately covered his body with silver wings, and Hajime activated "King Kong" with all his strength.
Then, red halos burst into the night sky wildly.
The powerful shockwave blew away Hajime and Noin without a second thought.
The powerful impact penetrated the "Vajra" and caused considerable damage to Hajime's body. The evidence was that Hajime spurted out a large amount of blood and was covered in wounds.
But Noin was not completely unharmed. Silver Wing's defense seemed to be unable to catch up. More blood spurted out of the wound, and she also vomited some blood. It seemed that the impact seemed to have reached her internal organs.
"...Are you planning to die with me?"
"H-huh...die with you? Ha, don't be ridiculous. Wait until you become a good woman like my lover, then you can say that."
Noin couldn't help but look at Shi's reckless attack with suspicion, wondering if he would give up on himself. Shi retorted breathlessly, his tone full of mockery, as if to say who would want to die with a woman like you.
Hajime took out a new weapon from the "treasure chest" and, using the strength of his wrist, threw it as fast as shooting playing cards.
The thing was silent and would disappear in an instant if one wasn't paying close attention. However, Noin calmly struck it away with his two greatswords.
Clang! Clang! A hard sound echoed, and the object was deflected, spinning in the air. It was a donut-shaped disc about fifteen centimeters in diameter—commonly known as a crescent wheel, or a throwing weapon called a chakra.
"Having used such a weapon at this point, are you at your wit's end?!"
Seeing that primitive weapon, Noin thought that Hajime was just struggling to survive, and the moment he looked at him with an even colder gaze, Hajime fired electromagnetic cannons to his left and right.
Then, red flashes appeared from both sides of Noin, who was across from Hajime, and were about to crush her head.
The unbelievable situation left Noin speechless, and he instantly raised his two greatswords to block the attack. Donal and Hulak fired a total of twelve bullets, all explosive rounds, and from the beginning, they aimed at a single point.
Why would bullets fired in irrelevant directions attack Noin from both sides?
The reason was the crescent moon wheel that Hajime had just thrown. This crescent moon wheel was made of an ore that combined the magic of "Breath Concealment" and "Wind Claws". It was a throwing weapon with extremely high stealth and lethality. However, in addition to this, it was also a divine artifact with special effects -
The portal function used when killing the giant naked sea butterfly in the [Melkine Undersea Ruins].
In other words, the hole in the center of the crescent wheel is spatially connected to the other crescent wheels, and a bullet shot into the hole will jump through space and fly out of the hole in another crescent wheel. Of course, the crescent wheel can be freely controlled by the sensor stone and gravity stone, just like the cross floater.
After calculating the position of the head, the size of the greatsword, and Noin's reaction speed, the explosive bomb flew across space and hit the target position exactly, causing a huge impact.
At that moment——
——Pah! Pah! Pah!
Two sounds were heard, and Noin's double swords, which were used for both offense and defense, broke in half.
"What! An attack of this magnitude, why......"
Despite previously claiming to be emotionless, Noin now appears quite shocked.
She probably didn't notice.
Since the first shot, he was not aiming at Noin himself, but continued to give cracking impacts with the two greatswords, even in close combat.
Because their strength was equally matched, Hajime's goal had always been to destroy any flaws that might appear in their weapons.
Hajime didn't miss this opportunity, and took out new artifacts from the "treasure house", throwing them out continuously.
The ten shadows thrown out at high speed just happened to catch Noin's weakness, making it impossible for her to dodge. In desperation, she wanted to swing the broken sword.
However, using that method to deal with such an artifact was a huge mistake, because the artifact thrown by Hajime was a metal wire with round ore connected at both ends.
It's a capture tool, or more accurately, a throwing weapon, commonly known as a slingshot. Normally, it's thrown using centrifugal force after being swung, but because the artifact contains a sensor stone, it can also be thrown directly at full speed. Furthermore, this artifact was created by Hajime, so it couldn't be just an ordinary slingshot...
"What is this! I can't move!?"
The stone ropes entangled the hilts, limbs, and waist of Noin's twin greatswords. The spherical ore at each end rippled and remained suspended in the air. This was a spatial magic effect granted by the creation magic. The two hammers were fixed by space itself, along with the objects bound to them.
However, Noin possesses the ability to disintegrate, so even if she were to be fixed in space, the effect wouldn't last more than ten seconds. Furthermore, even if the silver wings themselves were fixed, Noin could simply dismantle the magic that formed them and unfold them again. It wouldn't be possible to actually restrain them. Even if she attacked close range like before, the silver wings would buy her time to break free.
But Hajime's goal was those tens of seconds.
One hit kill.
He wants to use this short period of time to deliver the most powerful blow!
Hajime took out a large cylinder with a 2.5-meter-long mechanical arm from the "treasure box".
It was an electromagnetic acceleration Pile Bunker. With a distinctive "Jiyiyiyi!" sound, the Pile Bunker emitted lightning and accumulated crimson thunder. Then, Hajime charged straight towards Noin.
“Hmm!”
Noin groaned in pain and spread his silver wings wide, enveloping himself like a cocoon. The silver magic with the power of decomposition shone brightly, like another moon.
With a powerful impact, Hajime slammed the Pile Bunker into the beautiful barrier. Then, the newly added spatial fixation function on the four supports prevented the Pile Bunker from disintegrating while also securing it. The red electric light flickered restlessly, indicating that it was fully charged.
"I don't believe you can survive this blow!"
The corners of Hajime's mouth curled up smugly, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
The red magic power of "Limit Break" shone even brighter, gradually dyeing the silver moon red.
Then, an invisible shockwave erupted from the Pile Bunker launch port.
That function caused spatial vibrations within the launch port, like a simplified version of the spatial magic "Turning Sky," imparting intense vibrations to the target, causing the target's structure—hardness—to drop significantly.
The moment the gravity magic exploded, the weight of the black iron block increased to twenty tons, releasing its power with a thunderous roar.
The atmosphere trembled.
Under the magical power of converting super-compressed explosives into impact, and the acceleration of electromagnetic guidance, the giant pile made of Azantium ore rotates at a speed that can be called as lightning fast, piercing the prey from zero distance.
The huge black stake that released red electric light easily pierced through the two overlapping silver wings. It did not stop even after piercing Noin's heart. It went out from her back and destroyed one of her wings at the root.
The giant pile was like a meteor, flying into the distance with a red tail.
“——”
"..."
Afterward, only Noin remained, his body pierced by a hole, the very source of his magical energy. Perhaps burned by the entangled lightning, no blood gushed out, only a hole. His appearance was unremarkable. The silver wings dissipated as if melting into the air, the eyes within still as cold as a machine.
Even so, I don't know if it was just my imagination, but I felt like there was resentment in her eyes...
Noin's eyes immediately lost their luster, becoming empty and lifeless. She swayed and fell a little further away from the church building where everyone was gathered.
The black mountain walls make the silver of Noin stand out even more.
Hajime landed beside her, pulled out his Donar, and aimed it at her head.
Although the magic eye stone and perception ability both showed that Noin was completely dead, Hajime could not feel at ease unless he shot the enemy in the head again. This was an annoying habit he had developed.
"The unusual fangs aren't bad, are they?"
The moment Hajime was about to pull the trigger on Noin's forehead—
Boom——————! ! !
An explosion sounded that was enough to shake the entire [Sacred Mountain].
Hajime looked back, and what caught his eye was... a huge mushroom cloud and the gradually crumbling buildings of the Holy Church, including the cathedral.
“…You must be kidding.”
The murmurs that flowed unconsciously dissipated in the fresh air on the top of the mountain.
He couldn't help but stare in amazement at the huge mushroom cloud burning the night sky. He couldn't help but wonder, "I've seen scenes like this before on war-themed TV programs," when he suddenly received a telepathic message.
"Master...how are you doing?"
"Oh? Oh, it's Tio. I just finished here..."
"Well, very good, you are worthy of being the master. We have just finished here, can you join us?"
"No, it's okay to meet up, but it seems like something serious has happened..."
