"... water vapor?"

Huh, they've already found out.

Sarnak groaned at Yuweloy. White moya drifting around him. It is water vapor that evaporates a large amount of water in flames. The rest of the air was hot.

"Did you evaporate the 'water mass' water in the armor with the 'great flame' and blow the armor away..."

Water swells rapidly as it heats up and becomes steam. The armor couldn't withstand the pressure, so I guess it just bounced. If ordinary people do such imitation, they will suffer serious burns to the whole body, and their bodies will be crushed by the pressure of water vapor, but Sarnak has the skill of "steel shield". Even an act equivalent to a suicide bombing could be carried out without any problems.

"You're smarter than I thought, Steel Shield. Did the Great Flames take away from the folios?

"Ha, who says?"

Sarnak laughed with his nose and began to make a lot of hot air with both palms together. This is just a little bad, Euro thinks.

In fact, the flame created by skills is not as strong as it looks. Basically, what you make with your skills will disappear as soon as you leave them alone. The flame is its worst, and the flame created by the skill usually disappears in less than a second.

That's why we can protect ourselves with iron armor. Unless it's a series of shots, but if it's about one or two shots of calories, it ends with a little heat on the surface. The appearance is flashy, but the killing ability is not so high.

But the hot water doesn't look good. Water generally lasts much longer than flames, and enters through the gap in the armor to convey heat. And above all, it's troublesome not to be able to get close enough to hold him.

"... I can't help it."

Originally, I didn't want to put it out to the lowest class of people, but Yuwelloi rushed toward Sarnak whispering inside.

Ewelloy lay his left hand on his back as he turned reflexively towards Sarnak, who tried to block the entrance. The hand is held in half as if it were an invisible stick. Then a giant spear appeared in her hand in conjunction with the protruding motion.

A spear is not a spear with a small tip, but an assault spear with a large conical tip. With a length of about three meters, it sliced the steam and pierced Sarnak's throat.

"Mm-hmm. Big guy, huh?"

But the spear that stops there stops sharply, and Yuweloy discards it with boredom. I knew in advance that the physical attack on the Shield would not be effective. However, the attack is not entirely futile.

The sharp tip, if Sarnak moves at all, is pierced into his throat by his own strength. That's why Yuwelloi tried to provoke action by rushing towards him, but Sarnak stopped on the brink.

"Well, how about this?"

With an empty right arm, he creates a spear and sticks it into his groin. Sarnak took a few steps backwards, wandering.

"Hey, go ahead and I'll stab you!

Yuwelloi takes his hands off and produces two more spears. The unleashed spear stays in the air without falling to the ground and acts as a wall to prevent Sarnak from moving.

"Chi!

Sarnak unleashed a flame of misery. Yuweloy holds a spear and receives it. It is nothing but a blind eye, as we know that the flames do not pass through Euro's armor.

Run into that gap, or fill the distance. Yuwelloi read that he would probably run away. Escape and lead them to Oulu and Folio's location, then slap them with all your might. That is the most effective strategy in the present situation. Until I stab him if he gets close.

Yuwelloi's spear can vary its size somewhat freely. If you look at a three-meter spear and think it's easy to give in a melee battle, the price of the insult will be paid with blood.

"Nh....!

The tip of Yuweloy's spear, which intercepted, was grasped with a claw. When Sarnak grabbed the tip of the spear and broke the blast flame, he appeared.

Even without a blade, it is a skilled weapon that rips flesh and pierces bones even with a light touch. Naturally, if you hold on to something like that, I'm sorry, but the blood overflowing from Sarnak's hand runs down the spear.

"Don't lick it...!

Yuwelloi immediately takes his hands off the spear and generates a short spear from both hands. It's not one or two either. Ten spears floated in front of her at once and were thrown at Sarnak like arrows. The identity of the spear produced by Yuweloy is actually a 'spear throwing' skill that doesn't even have to shake itself.

But it stopped sharply before it hit Sarnak as if it were an invisible wall.

"Nh....!

No wonder you had another defensive skill. Yuweloy's body was struggling to jump back because he was distracted. It is as if the armor is fixed to something, it cannot move.

"Gotcha...!

In that gap, Sarnak, who had slipped through the rain of the spear that had stopped moving, grabbed Yuweloy's arm. Wherever you swing, Salnak with the "Steel Shield" skill Nullifies any Power. In other words, once grabbed, you can never escape.

Yuwelloi realized it was blood. His body does not accept all external forces. But to what extent does that "flesh" refer?

Strictly speaking, its power protects a little bit of the flesh it was born with. That's why even the clothes don't get scratched. The theory is that perhaps the perception of skill users is influenced.

Sarnak managed to spread the recognition to his own blood. Blood adheres to objects that cannot be moved from there. Even the power to tear off the blood will inhibit the 'steel shield'. Salnak deliberately wounded himself with a spear and threw his blood at Yuweloi's spear and armor.

Blood is my own flesh, to say the least. It doesn't seem impossible to apply the power of a skill to a spill. But the very fact that it came to that idea was a surprise. At least Yu Wai has never thought of such a way before.

"Kh...!

Unlock the armor and leave. The explosion flamed as Yu Wei Roi decided to erase his armor.

"I won't let you...!

The opposite of grasping Yuweloy's arm, the flame is thrown from his hand as he stood. If you remove your armor to escape, you will soon be caught in flames. However, if you continue to hit the flame at such a close distance, you won't keep armor on the boulder.

then.

"How was that!

Yuwelloi makes countless spears wrapping around Sarnak's body.

"If you move your body a little bit, your spear will pierce you! Can we keep attacking in this situation!?

No action is required to emit a flame. But that's why people don't have to be around at all. Not to mention the state where the blade is pointing at my whole body.

"... I'm sorry."

Yuweloy certainly saw Sarnak's smile distort when he was there.

"I've already experienced a situation where I can't move a finger!

Jingle, the sound of water burning. It was too late when I thought it was over.

The water vapor bounced around Sarnak, and the spear surrounding him bounced in all directions. It struck Euro hard with steam pressure and blew it away.

"... fu... damn it... I feel like I've managed..."

The armor wrapped around Yuweloy disappeared, and Sarnak fell on the wall, scratching his face on the tingling and painful palm. The disappearance of the armor means that he passed out.

"But I did it... General"

I am conscious that Yuwelloi was better than me. I was able to win, even though I used the strategy of using the blood Oulu gave me and the skills I borrowed from the Folio.

In Oulu's opinion, I don't know if I can win. I wish I could stop without winning. That's how you fulfilled your assigned role in the best way.

"I did it this far, so don't screw with me."

Sarnak murmured and looked up at the ceiling.

"Owl!"

Floro cheers. Bran opened his eyes to the man standing in front of him.

"... how did you get here?

Blanc asked Oulu quietly. When and how? This man suddenly appeared in a room that should have been sealed.

"You know my abilities, don't you?

Well, Blanc takes a breath. Oulu can control the Mother's Wall. Its ability is not only in the form of walls, but also in the form of ceilings and floors. Bran imagined it as' just changing the shape of the room '. But if you could even drill a hole....

Guards don't do anything. You can drill holes in the lower level, hang anything on the ladder... No, or you can turn the wall into a staircase and break into the closet.

Well...

Oulu told Bran that he was stunned.

"Let's get Floro back."
