Chapter 520 16: Immortal!
The clanging sounds intertwined, accompanied by friction and bursting sparks in the air, the sound of gold and iron clashing unceasingly.It was an ear-piercing noise that tormented the ears greatly, and with an increasingly urgent frequency in a very short time, the violent sparks bursting forth in the air grew ever more, eventually causing one party to rapidly fall into a disadvantage and display signs of defeat soon after the battle commenced.
Yet the other party did not want to entangle too much, for their objective was exceptionally clear from start to finish, so after breaking through the interception, they swiftly launched an attack resembling a raid towards their true target!
The sharp end of the lock flashed with a brilliance akin to gold, yet possessed unparalleled sharpness and sturdiness, whistling through space, carrying a terrifying force vast enough to instantly reach Fujimaru Ritsuka's face, the wind pressure seemingly already lifting the bangs on the girl's forehead.
"...!!"
This red-haired, orange-eyed girl, although having witnessed many storms and waves, still instinctively narrowed her pupils in the face of this sudden life-and-death crisis.
However...
The timely appearance of the Cross Shield, just in time at the critical moment, blocked in front of the girl, directly confronting the whistling sharp lock, bursting with a piercing collision sound, the shield-bearing girl Mash was forcibly pushed back several meters, leaving a long drag mark underfoot.
The massive force, although blocked, caused a dreadful counter-shock, still making the shield-bearer feel a sudden numbness in her hands...
"What a terrifying attack..."
Cold sweat formed on Mash's forehead, she, after all, being a Servant specialized in defense, other aspects not much worth mentioning, only in defense with the highest grade anti-magic power that a contemporary top-level magician cannot harm directly with magic, coupled with "Self-defense" and "Magic Defense" class skills.
Even her Treasure is this shield, all related to defense in some way.
From attributes to skills, then to the trump card Treasure she held, everything about her was specialized for defense, yet even so, she nearly couldn't withstand the opponent's strike...though she didn't unleash her Treasure, the enemy wasn't executing a Treasure attack either.
One must say it truly is a Divine Weapon, meticulously crafted with all the power of the Gods to create "Divine Creation of Humans," isn't it?
Even though the intellect occupying that body is no longer the original Enkidu, yet the performance of that body itself hasn't changed in the slightest, still a weapon created by the Gods.
"Hmph, is Chaldea's person only capable of this level of power?"
It's naturally the attacker speaking such words, clothed in a white robe, with long green hair radiating a faint glow, seemingly a beautiful girl at first glance, standing gracefully like a flower, but upon closer investigation, revealing an androgynous allure transcending common sense and gender.
Yet, with this attack not succeeding, his plan naturally fell through.
Anna, just knocked back, tightly pursing her lips, her petite body swooping down like a speeding leopard, her purple eyes shining momentarily beneath the hood, wielding the normally sealed off Demon Eye.
Because the Demon Eye is of the highest level, enough to capture the opponent within its gaze and instantly petrify them, even though the opponent is a Divine-made Weapon with the highest performance, unavoidably, they showed obvious signs of stiffness and sluggishness for a brief moment!
However, this situation not only proved the power of the girl's petrifying Demon Eye but also inversely demonstrated the frightening performance of the enemy body's opposite.
Clearly captured by the Demon Eye at full force, yet still didn't instantly petrify, only momentarily affecting their movements.
Seizing this momentary opportunity, Anna's petite body charged up again, swinging the Great Scythe in a melee struggle.
"Do you think with such a degree of mystique you can contend with my limbs?"
The entity occupying Enkidu's body merely sneered, brandishing long chains with ease, effortlessly deflecting the girl's fleet attacks akin to a storm, the chains possessing flexible versatility, with spearheads at the ends of extreme sharpness!
After all, this body was molded from clay by the Divine Hand, created as a tool capable of changing freely, the body shape shiftable at will and able to directly transform into Treasure to penetrate the enemy.
Facing chains with "Law God" properties, Anna was embroiled in a bitter struggle again, she, after all, belonging to the Divine Spirit System as a Servant pillar, albeit in a yet-to-grow juvenile stage, nonetheless appearing with the identity of a Goddess, possessing Divinity.
Initially inferior, compounded with this disadvantage, naturally making it difficult to claim any chance of victory, fortunately, Mash gritted her teeth and followed quickly, with both cooperating barely able to sustain. Yet it merely allowed them to sustain reluctantly, their combined forces couldn't alter the balance tipped by the opponent's overwhelming force.
However, amidst this critical moment, everything vanished dreamlike as if wisped away.
The enemy they'd fiercely battled suddenly disappeared without a trace, the surroundings fell silent, Mash flinched momentarily, instinctively glancing around, they were still on the wilderness road with a cart loaded with gemstones parked by the roadside far behind.
