Uplifting Journey

The picture that emerges in my mind is the sudden change of my posture and position, and the scene of the enemy coming behind me at some point

In any case, it is not a pleasant experience to be thrown off a cliff with a severed limb. In his memories, Polnareff could even faintly feel phantom pain in his body.

But after the memory-immersed narration came to an end, Polnareff, who came back to his senses, saw the young man in front of him staring at the north wall with an absent-minded look on his face.

Polnareff, who felt that he seemed to be doing nothing, said angrily: "Hey, where are you looking?! Are you really listening to my story? You who saved me will definitely be stared at by Diablo. In fact, it is necessary to understand the ability of the other party, this is not the time to think about it!"

As if awakened from a trance, Cheng Bin withdrew his gaze, and turned his apologetic gaze to Polnareff: "I'm sorry, something interesting happened somewhere, and I was a little distracted."

Polnareff was slightly taken aback—somewhere, distracted. It seems that the monster's ability is far from reaching the bottom line.

What attracted part of Cheng Bin's attention was actually the confidential research base in northern Germany traced back to by one of his descendants.

Prophecy and fate? Cheng Bin, who received some information from the split body, had a strange feeling in his heart—although the units sent there were only small units for investigation, they still possessed all the special abilities at the cell level.

As long as necessary, the offspring over there can corrode a large number of creatures at any time to expand their strength, and it is very simple to become a combat unit or even create a biochemical crisis.

He was able to get rid of the routine without the slightest vigilance. Although the main reason is that he did not pay enough attention and incomplete information, the power of inevitable prophecy is still very interesting.

——Anyway, you can self-destruct at any time. Losing a unit is not painful at all. Staying there can also be used as a communication channel. , it would be nice to be able to take advantage of it, but the most important thing right now is Diablo's affairs.

Cheng Bin, who was wandering about in his mind, smiled at Polnareff casually: "Be distracted, I have written down all your words—it sounds like the Crimson King is not that scary."

Judging from Polnareff's previous description, Diablo, who owns the Crimson King, besides his organization's penetration and control of society, also has a special stand-in ability that disappears abruptly in his attack , and suddenly appeared behind him to launch a sneak attack.

"Roughly speaking, the special abilities other than crimson are not much different from your friend Jotaro's Platinum Star, right? Even if you add the strong predictive ability shown when dealing with your superb swordsmanship, there is no hopelessness that cannot be dealt with. the point?

"Whether it's a virus-like attack with a latency period beyond its predictable duration, or a large-scale and persistent AOE, it seems that he can be easily eliminated-for me, it is not difficult to create these two types of attacks."

"It's not that simple!" Polnareff said in a deep voice, "Yes, theoretically speaking, as long as there is sufficient information and the assassination is carried out without the main body being aware of it, there is a chance to get rid of Diablo. , but in fact it is far from—

"You haven't personally experienced the 'time deletion' ability of the Crimson King, you can't imagine the subtle feeling I have when time leaps. That is a terrifying ability that is more incomprehensible than the time stop of Platinum Star!"

"I really don't have a personal experience." Cheng Bin shrugged, "When you experienced the ability of the Crimson King, I was not far from the cliff you fell, but I didn't feel the 'time delete' you said. 'The sudden change like frame skipping in the video

"It seems that this kind of power has not spread to the whole world. Only those who are within the direct range of the Crimson King's ability or directly interfered by it can perceive this phenomenon. After a few times of ability, the world has long been in chaos to find the cause of the vision."

"That's why I said that the ability of the Crimson King is by no means the ability of the Platinum Star to distort time and space." Polnareff suppressed his emotions, searching his barren mind, thinking hard about what method to use To describe the strange power of the Crimson King.

After pondering for a while, Polnareff suddenly summoned the silver chariot. He glanced sideways at the armored knight holding a sword in one hand, and then turned his gaze to the uneaten apple that he took out on the cabinet next to him.

For Cheng Bin, who couldn't see the double, he just saw the apple on the cabinet suddenly suspended with the spiral air flow visible to the naked eye, and while the apple was rolling and rotating in a fixed position in mid-air, its thin skin was invisible. The sharp blade was peeled off instantly.

This is the effect created by the silver chariot simply stirring the air with its blade and using extremely precise sword skills.

Polnareff stretched out his hand to grab the peeled apple, and after taking a bite, he pointed to the peel that was still rotating in a fixed position in mid-air, with the same overall outline, and said: "As you can see, my silver chariot will The swordsmanship I practiced since I was a child has been sublimated to another field.

"Attack all possible directions around the body with the sharp sword in your hand as you like. This is the basic ability of a person who practices swordsmanship after getting started. For me, through the blade and air, I can perceive all the details of the target as much as possible. It is not difficult to change the strength and trajectory of the blade at any time according to the state of the subject."

"So?" Cheng Bin, who seemed to be listening carefully, replied casually, but what he was thinking in his heart was not so simple - a large number of his cells had infiltrated and replaced Polnareff's body tissues, although he tried not to affect him. A key part of associative thinking, but the musculoskeletal viscera are basically eroded all over.

Unexpectedly, in this case, the silver chariot that can feed back damage to the main body can still be skillfully used by the main body without any obstacles. It seems that the connection between the double and the main body is more based on spirit?

"So?" Polnareff snorted coldly, "When I was fighting Diablo, when the Crimson King used the special ability to delete time, my consciousness appeared along with the leap of time. The sudden fault, but my swordsmanship engraved into the bone marrow told me with the residual body sensation, what I experienced in the disappearing time before——

"During the time deleted by the Crimson King, the movement of everything is not based on inertia. If Diablo moved behind me during the disappearing time, I would never continue to swing my sword at the air in front of me, but It will change the sword path according to the action of the enemy - but my sword sense tells me that I continued to attack the enemy I saw in front of me at that time, and I did hit it.

"That is to say, during the period of time that was cut off and I have no memory, there were two or even more Crimson Kings in that weird field. His ability is definitely beyond the description of simple 'time cut' ! There are even more terrifying, incomprehensible and indescribable secrets hidden in it!"

Looking at Polnareff who was getting excited, Cheng Bin, who secretly felt the problem of script matching, nodded, but just when he wanted to continue discussing research with Polnareff, he was taken aback: "Wait a minute ! Polnareff, your face."

"What's the matter?" Polnareff was startled, he raised his hand to touch his face, and then he was startled by the strange touch from his fingertips.

Suddenly stepping to the mirror on the side of the house, Polnareff took a closer look and found that his skin had lost its luster and gradually loosened at some point, and the wrinkles that only old people had were deepening and spreading at a speed visible to the naked eye .

"This..." Polnareff turned his head abruptly. His eyes swept over the ordinary people lying in the room whose bodies were rapidly aging, and Cheng Bin who didn't see any abnormalities on the surface. Then he realized He immediately yelled loudly, turned around and rushed to the door——

"This is a substitute attack!"
