Chapter 894: Dragon Special Attack Ineffective
Kazakiri Hyouka’s long, curly hair moved without wind, and her entire body was filled with an unknown effect resembling battle qi, making her look incredibly imposing. Even Kazakiri Hyouka herself had never unleashed her full power to this extent before.
It wasn’t that Shokuhou Misaki was unwilling to help her; it was simply that under normal circumstances, Kazakiri Hyouka rarely encountered opponents who required her to go all out.
One must know that Level 4 Great Ability Users were already rare high-level espers in Academy City. Not considering the mere eight Level 5 espers, Level 4 Great Ability Users were the pinnacle of the “esper ability” system.
And Kazakiri Hyouka was an outstanding Level 4, her strength, especially in close-quarters combat, was unmatched.
Aside from Lin Wuming, who augmented his entire body with telekinesis, Kazakiri Hyouka had never encountered an opponent who could make her “go all out.”
And during regular training, she couldn’t always trouble Lin Wuming to be her sparring partner; so Kazakiri Hyouka’s daily exercises were basically just for practice.
Now, the blonde man in the suit before her was undoubtedly a perfect sparring partner.
More importantly, her opponent was fighting her under extremely unfavorable conditions.
If they were to compete fairly, Kazakiri Hyouka felt she might have already lost?
Although she was very unwilling, it was precisely because of this that she could swing her fists and feet even more recklessly, launching attacks against the man before her.
“Then… Runzi-jie, you can do it!” Shokuhou Misaki had originally intended for Kazakiri Hyouka to experience a high-level battle in advance, so of course, she wouldn’t stop her. Instead, she stood by the side, cheering her on.
Similarly, the giant Xiaofei, like a small animal, followed behind Shokuhou Misaki and cheered for Kazakiri Hyouka.
Shokuhou Misaki occasionally looked back at Xiaofei, then used “Mental Out” to implant her image into the Knight Captain’s mind, making him mistakenly believe he was fighting a “wicked dragon.”
After recognizing the Knight Captain’s identity, Shokuhou Misaki immediately thought of his performance in the original story, among which the “Solomon’s Art” left a deep impression on her.
That was a magic art constructed by the Knight Captain based on the legend of Solomon, the effect of which was to completely nullify the attack power of any weapon within his knowledge.
This immunity applied to both magic and science; theoretically, it could even neutralize attacks from firearms and even explosives. Furthermore, it was equally effective against human fists and feet, and the sharp teeth and claws of wild beasts.
It could be said to be a very useful magic in combat, ensuring the Knight Captain remained invincible.
However, this magic also had its limitations: it had to be personally manipulated by the caster himself. He had to make real-time adjustments to the art based on his own judgment to counter different attacks.
If he judged incorrectly and mistook the attack mode, then “Solomon’s Art” would naturally fail.
For this reason, Shokuhou Misaki employed means to make the Knight Captain believe he was fighting Xiaofei.
Subconsciously, the Knight Captain had already adjusted “Solomon’s Art” to a “beast-fighting” mode, but he hadn’t expected that these powerful, heavy attacks would come from a young girl!
As “Solomon’s Art” repeatedly failed, the Knight Captain finally started to struggle. He could endure the terrifyingly powerful attacks once or twice, but ten or twenty times… once the numbers accumulated, it became a different concept.
—If this continues, he’ll be worn down to death by her sooner or later!
The Knight Captain’s expression grew increasingly solemn…
—A mysterious city, a mysterious battle!
He increasingly regretted why he had meddled, coming to confront some wicked dragon.
Now, Tsuchimikado Motoharu must have taken the opportunity to escape, right?
“Tsuchimikado, what are you doing here?” Lin Wuming, who had finally arrived at the Twenty-first School District, immediately spotted Tsuchimikado Motoharu hiding furtively behind a tree.
Then, turning to look at the two people fighting fiercely not far away, Lin Wuming asked, “Did you lead the Knight Captain here?”
Lin Wuming had just arrived when he saw Kazakiri Hyouka intensely fighting a blonde man in a suit, while Shokuhou Misaki and a giant flying dragon watched from a distance, cheering for Kazakiri Hyouka.
Seeing this scene, Lin Wuming immediately breathed a sigh of relief. At least for now, the battle was fierce, with both sides exchanging blows, and the situation he most worried about had not occurred.
“This isn’t my fault!” Tsuchimikado Motoharu quickly explained, “I was indeed concentrating on escaping, but I was so flustered that I ran through this area… Who knew that guy would be attracted by your pet.”
“There’s nothing I can do,” Tsuchimikado Motoharu shrugged again, spreading his hands, “After all, he inherited the legend of St. George, and seems to have an extraordinary natural yearning for ‘dragon slaying’.”
Tsuchimikado Motoharu’s face showed a look of relief. To be honest, playing hide-and-seek with a monster like the Knight Captain was truly too stimulating.
Even though Tsuchimikado Motoharu was a local expert in Academy City, with many preparations and contingencies in the city, he couldn’t withstand the Knight Captain’s sheer power that could overcome all. The Knight Captain’s strong raw power alone rendered all his traps and mechanisms useless.
During his escape, Tsuchimikado Motoharu was under immense pressure, even being forced to the point of running in a panic—otherwise, he wouldn’t have run to a “desolate” place like near the Twenty-first School District.
Unexpectedly, the Knight Captain, with his keen senses, was attracted by a small dot appearing in the sky, decisively changed his target, and rushed towards the Twenty-first School District.
Without pursuers, Tsuchimikado Motoharu breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could feel fortunate, he suddenly realized—the situation had become even more troublesome!
As mentioned before, as a spy, Tsuchimikado Motoharu would consciously collect valuable information around him.
Lin Wuming’s personal information, as an important figure, was even more of a key collection target.
Therefore, in this area, at this time… Tsuchimikado Motoharu immediately thought of a possibility.
—Shokuhou Misaki was raising a flying dragon nearby!
Then, considering the Knight’s special fondness for “dragons,” it was not difficult to guess the reason why the Knight Captain suddenly changed his target.
At that time, Tsuchimikado Motoharu didn’t know that Shokuhou Misaki was flying on the dragon, but even so, if “Xiaofei,” the pet, were to be slain by the Knight Captain, it would be a very troublesome matter.
—If it really turned out that way, Shokuhou Misaki definitely wouldn’t forgive him! If it eventually turned into a revenge plot, Lin Wuming would definitely side with his lover…
One must know that Tsuchimikado Motoharu would rather flee in disarray than ask Lin Wuming for help, precisely because he didn’t want to involve Lin Wuming further in the magic side’s affairs.
Now, his painstaking efforts were about to be in vain because of that flying dragon!
In desperation, he had no choice but to hurriedly turn back and search towards the Twenty-first School District…
