The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

Just as he was about to be hit by another wave of attacks, the world in Lin Qiao's eyes slowed down the next second.

Acceleration Mode

It turned into a red afterimage that was difficult to capture with the naked eye and quickly left the spot.

Bang bang bang!

And the next second after Lin Qiao disappeared, the wall of the building behind him was hit by dense holes from the high-speed flying pebbles.

"Where the hell did you go?"

Faced with the enemy who disappeared in the blink of an eye, Jiang Yuan quickly looked around.

And just behind him, two huge red spider legs spread out behind Lin Qiao.

The huge spider leg that could pierce concrete as easily as tofu pudding quickly fell towards Jiang Yuan who had no time to react.

However....

clang--!

The moment the spider's legs touched Jiang Yuan, it was uncontrollably bounced to the side, and two trees nearby were directly broken in half by the spider's legs.

Even Lin Qiao himself was affected by this and was almost thrown out on the ground.

"Fuck! What's going on?"

After steadying himself, Lin Qiao was a little stunned for a moment as his sneak attack failed.

Jiang Yuan, who realized belatedly that he was being attacked, also turned around.

"Oh, so he ran to the back."

Lift your leg and stamp lightly on the ground.

With a loud bang, he flew towards Lin Qiao quickly like a cannonball.

Upon seeing this, the latter immediately dodged to the side in a somewhat embarrassed manner.

boom!

Jiang Yuan almost flew past Lin Qiao, then crashed straight into the supporting pillar of the wreckage of the overpass, breaking it completely.

As the supporting columns broke, the wreckage of the overpass, which had already experienced countless storms, also collapsed.

Countless moss-covered chunks of concrete fell from overhead, making splashing sounds as they landed in the stream.

Striking a fighting stance, Lin Qiao looked seriously at the figure that was pinned under the concrete blocks.

As Jiang Yuan gently waved his hands, the stones pressing on him automatically bounced off in all directions... at an incredibly fast speed.

——If this gets hit, it won’t just be a pain.

He decisively turned on the acceleration mode to avoid the flying debris, and then found a place to hide temporarily.

Jiang Yuan, who found that Lin Qiao had disappeared again, began to search - it seemed that he intended to kill her completely.

He took a deep breath to ease the tension in his heart.

He reached out and touched the place on his chest where he had been hit by the stone. In just a moment, the dent on the armor had almost disappeared.

At the same time, there was no more pain in the body—not even a trace of residual soreness.

It was only until this time that Lin Qiao had the time to calm down and analyze the other party's abilities.

"Something's wrong..."

This was all the feeling he had after fighting for just a few minutes.

It is undeniable that the series of attacks just launched by the opponent were indeed very powerful...but that is precisely why it feels awkward.

After all, as mentioned before, his action of throwing the stone was too slow, but the speed of the stone flying was abnormally fast.

In addition to this, when Lin Qiao used her spider legs to attack him, she was directly bounced away... If her defense had not been broken, he could still understand it, although he would also be surprised, but being bounced away was a bit outrageous.

Finally, not to mention that this guy can launch a concrete block weighing hundreds of pounds as a cannonball with just a flick of his hand; and can send something flying far away with just a stomp of his foot... and his reaction ability is not commensurate with that speed.

Otherwise, if the other party had touched him when he flew past him, he would have been seriously injured.

In short, the series of attacks launched by the opponent before did not seem to rely on pure physical strength.

——So it is very likely that it relies on some kind of ability.

His brain was working rapidly, but before Lin Qiao could come to a conclusion, a sound of breaking air reached his ears.

boom!

The hiding place was kicked to pieces.

And those gravels seemed to have consciousness and flew towards Lin Qiao who had dodged a step ahead.

Dang Dang Dang——!

He crossed his hands to block his head, and the flying debris collided with the biomass-filled armor on his body with a dull sound.

Lin Qiao grinned. If any ordinary person came up, he would have been shot through.

He put his hands down and stared straight at Jiang Yuan in front of him.

"——Vector operations."

Although it cannot be guaranteed to be correct, from all the information available at the moment, this seems to be the only one that matches the other party's behavior, so it is likely to be true.

'Tsk, that's difficult.'

A vector is a physical quantity with direction, which is also called a vector in mathematics - such as the most intuitive gravity.

With this ability, the only way to do this is with a magical skill like the "Kihara God Fist" which is to apply force in the opposite direction at the moment of contact, allowing the fist to actively stick to oneself.

Otherwise, the pure physical attack would only cause him to suffer the opposite injury...

He glanced at Jiang Yuan who walked out of the ruins.

Well, although the strategy is already in front of him, the "Kihara Shinken" boxing style is still too difficult for him...

And if he made a mistake, he would most likely suffer a broken bone, at the mildest level.

"So where is my novice protection period? Why did I encounter such a powerful physical enemy that has a strong negative effect on me for the first time?"

So what should we do now? This kind of enemy with built-in anti-armor is not easy to deal with.

For a moment, Lin Qiao's paws felt numb.

Although running away is an option, it seems that the other party will not let him go so easily.

He entered the acceleration mode and swung his fists quickly, smashing all the gravel that Jiang Yuan brought, and then distanced himself from him again.

Hiss, hiss, hiss——!

When he came out of the accelerated state, due to the inertia brought by the high speed and the large amount of sand on the ground that reduced the friction, his soles rubbed against the ground for a considerable distance before he stopped.

"Whoo~"

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the acceleration mode is useful, it is better to reduce the frequency if possible.

After all, using this ability is also a big burden for him now...

Hmm? Burden?

Thinking of this, Lin Qiao seemed to realize something.

Admittedly, the opponent's vector manipulation ability is not very friendly to him who uses physical attacks as his main means, but this ability cannot be completely free of consumption.

And just like him, although he gained the power of killbus, the difference in strength is huge... It feels more like he gained the seed of power.

Therefore, Lin Qiao didn't believe that the other party could develop his abilities to the same level as Accelerator after only acquiring them for a day.

——If that’s the case, he shouldn’t play anymore.

Eight eyes looked at Jiang Yuan. Now that they understood this, the approach would be very simple.

He picked up a piece of concrete from the wall nearby and threw it towards Jiang Yuan.

Although it was just an ordinary stone, with the power added by Lin Qiao's transformation, if it was really hit, it would probably be no different from being shot at close range.

Whoosh!

A finger-sized piece of concrete flew towards Jiang Yuan at high speed, who had not yet reacted.

Just as Lin Qiao had guessed, his physique and reaction ability were no different from those of ordinary people. Facing the stones flying towards him at a speed comparable to that of bullets, he had no time to dodge...

He just had the ability of vector manipulation, so there was no need for him to dodge.

Biu~

The moment the concrete block touched his skin, the situation suddenly changed.

The stone that hit Jiang Yuan flew towards Lin Qiao at a faster speed...but the latter had already left the spot.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuan also chased after him.

The scarlet figure quickly shuttled through the ruined city.

Even without using the acceleration mode, his normal running speed was enough to compete with a car with the accelerator pressed to the bottom, or even faster.

Add to that the ability to climb walls and fly over rooftops...it feels like playing a first-person game like "Prototype".

While running, Lin Qiao picked up a handful of stones from the walls or the ground and threw them at Jiang Yuan who was chasing behind her.

.....I don't know whether it was intentional or not, but the place Lin Qiao threw it was exactly his lower body...

Even though it caused absolutely no damage and bounced back the next second, it was definitely 100% insulting.

——It was precisely because of this that Jiang Yuan looked at Lin Qiao with eyes almost bulging with bloodshot.

He jumped onto the roof of the abandoned building with all his strength, but Lin Qiao did not dare to stop and continued running without looking back.

boom!

Shortly after he left the spot, the concrete under his feet was knocked through by Jiang Yuan who flew up from the bottom of the building.

"Fuck you! Don't run if you can!"

Angry shouts were heard from behind, and Lin Qiao threw two stones at the opponent's lower body with his backhand, and then... Run!

run!

Then run!

We must not stop at this time.

"grass!"

Looking at the big red spider that was left with only its back again, the naked Jiang Yuan felt so angry that his teeth were itching.

He really wants to skin the hairy crab alive now!

In terms of pure speed, although the opponent is fast, he should be better than the opponent due to his vector operation ability...but this is exactly where the problem lies.

Although he is fast, his reaction ability and dynamic vision cannot keep up.

If you're just running in a straight line then that's no problem, but if you're going to bend or make a sharp turn then that becomes a problem.

It is often necessary to pause in the middle and take a clear look at the surrounding environment before taking the next step.

But Lin Qiao was born with a tendency to go around in circles.

This meant that even though he had the advantage in speed, he could only lag behind the opponent.

Even if he wanted to reflect the stone thrown by Lin Qiao and knock it down, it was difficult to capture the other party's high-speed moving figure.

It is also a vector operation, but unlike Accelerator's, his vector operation relies on his own physical strength.

Although it is convenient and more flexible to launch, he also loses the powerful computing ability, which makes him unable to use the calculation speed to calculate the opponent's landing point in advance and then take advantage of it.

——And what’s worse is that Jiang Yuan is now starting to get tired.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead. After chasing for such a long time, his physical strength had been greatly depleted.

In addition, after meeting Lin Qiao, I didn’t have time to eat the meal I had originally planned, and I couldn’t replenish my energy…

In short, it would be disadvantageous for him if it drags on like this.
