Chapter 566 Scales of Man
"Surrrr......"
One of the Scales sees a slight scratch on his body and turns his gaze back to Piltee.
………………
From there, when the wounded Scythians turned again toward Pilte, I felt the air at the scene change sharply.
The quality of the murderous aura that fills it changes, and the heavy air begins to drift.
Pilte also sensed that the atmosphere of the opponent had changed, and stared at the movement of the opponent while holding a shadow owl.
So, for the first time, Pilate and I realized that the opponent was quite a nuisance.
What a big bleeding wound inside the wound on the Piltee. I didn't use anything special, I didn't use healing magic. It's something I can say with confidence that I kept watching the movement without fighting.
I think the wound was healed by regenerative abilities... I don't know if all the Scythe people have the ability, and I don't know how far they can heal or whether they can recover infinitely, but it's definitely their own ability.
The lizard can detach its own tail and later has the regenerative ability to grow its tail again, but I think it has a similar ability. Seeing the wound blocked in this short time, I think it's many times more regenerative than that. There was no such thing as a flash stone in an instant, but if it is a shallow cut, it is completely healed in a few seconds.
If you had the ability to regenerate limbs like a tail, you wouldn't have such a troublesome opponent. With the same physical ability as ours, it is difficult even to make the attack hit a steep spot directly, but even if it hits, if it regenerates immediately, it cannot be defeated forever unless it is blown away with a single hit.
The Gigas were strong... but the Scales were strong in another way. No, I don't think we can defeat these two, no matter how Gigas they are, if they simply fight. No matter how much power you have, if you have this physical ability, you will never get a direct hit to a critical place. You will regenerate it no matter how many times you crush it, so you will gradually lose your health, and in the end, you will be struck and killed.
And... the worst part is that Pilte and I can't even shoot like the Gigas.
Our attacks are all to the point of wounding the opponent, and we can say that there are almost no single-shot kills. In this case, it can be assumed that an attack that destroys the brain or heart with a single blow is effective, but we do not have the attack power to accomplish it.
"... fufufu... fufuha!"
Confirming that the wound was healed, she looked at me and Pirte, who were holding their eyebrows, and Minor laughed high.
"No matter how strong you are, you can't beat the Scales!" I can't defeat you wherever you attack! "
…………………
Indeed, the Scythians' ability to regenerate was quite troublesome, and their ability to actually strike was diminished. If we keep going through simple offensive and defensive operations like this, our health will be lost first. If it is a two-on-two situation, I can control the opponent well, create a two-on-one situation in an instant, and not be able to defeat one person at a time, but if I move here, I can see a future in which the situation worsens.
It's a pretty tough situation. No… I think it's the worst.
However, Pilte is not moving at all, and I hear that the wind blows everywhere with a minor high smile.
Although I'm not absolutely confident that I can win, at least I seem to think that I still have a chance to win.
I think the basis for that is probably that not all Scythe wounds are regenerating.
If it's too powerful to heal all the wounds indefinitely, there's no point in leaving a small scratch. However, if it has not been cured, it is thought that there will be some limitations. Because it is so resilient, there are some conditions for using it, or there are some side effects... I think it is appropriate to have some disadvantages, and it should not be wrong to read it.
I don't know what the disadvantages are, but if it's reasonable, the more you recover, the more you lose your health...
When that happens, it shouldn't be an eight-way blockage that can't be done.
“Nothing will change what we have to do.”
Did Pilte tell Mina, told me, or told the Scythians... After saying those words, I dropped my hips and prepared for the attack of the Scythians.
As Pilte says, there isn't much we can do, so we have to do what we can.
"Surrrr...!"
Phew! Phew! Phew!
The Scythians stick out their spear twice and use their tail to try to wipe their legs.
However, Pilte makes it look like a flutter.
Resilience is indeed a threatening ability, but physical ability does not improve, so there is no attack on Piltee. After that, how long will Piltee's health last, how long will the Scythe's regenerative abilities last, and how many deadly attacks will be hit... those are the liver of this battle.
"Ngh!!"
Phew! Phew!
Hah!
Shh, shh!
Surrrr!
Boom! Boom!
"Ngh!!"
Dodging the Scythe attack, Piltee hits the shadowclaw on the opponent's shoulder, the Scythe also loses the attack, and the Trident's spear tip sweeps through Piltee's arm.
After all, Piltee had better combat abilities, but the difference was very small. No matter how much Piltee grows, it seems that she can't completely avoid all attacks.
Not yet!
Shh, shh, shh, shh!
"Ngh!!"
Phew! Phew!
Still, Piltee is not frightened and attacks, wounding the opponent, and dodging the opponent's attack.
The battle you don't know how long it will last is mentally tough, but Piltee will continue to attack without moving.
A battle as close as an attack.
However, the wounds inflicted on the opponent are healed immediately, and Pilté's wounds do not heal easily.
The situation gradually worsens when there is some interaction.
”Hah... hah...”
"Surrrr......"
I don't know how many minutes have passed since we met... Piltee's breath begins to rise as the tense air flows.
…………………
Just looking at it like this... I started thinking about attacking the other Scythe, but if I attack the other Scythe, maybe Mina will attack Piltee.
With Maina alone, Piltee might not be the enemy, but if she were attacked along with the Scythians, it would be pretty hard.
I don't want to move, but I can't. If you think that you have to do something..., Pilté will only look at me once as if he has perceived my thoughts.
"... yes, I believe you."
When I saw Piltee, I didn't feel like I was going to lose.
I will definitely win, so please watch your mother there.
That's what Pilate told me, and I can squeeze my impatience into it.
If my daughter is working hard, it's her mother's job to believe and wait.
When the other Scythe and Maina move, I will be careful to deal with them immediately.
”Hah... hah... huu...”
Pilte regained his raised breath and looked at the opponent firmly. They must be trying to set something up.
………………
The Scythians seem to have read the air and put their strength into the Trident's hand.
…………
………………
An even more tense air flows between Piltee and the Scythians.
Tan!!
The one who moved first was Pilate.
Until now, it was like dealing with the opponent's attack, but for the first time, it was set up from Piltee.
"Ngh!!"
Bloody hell!!
Pilte's attack doesn't have enough attack power to inflict a fatal injury, so it tends to turn to the receiver, and by launching an attack on the counter, he can earn some damage. There is nothing we can do about this, and basically nothing we can do about it.
Especially, the opposing Scales have their skin covered with scales and are difficult to hit. If they try to deal even a little damage, they will have to aim at the counter. Other hands will be limited.
When the counter sees the opponent attacking, it takes the procedure of dodging and releasing the attack, so the most basic form is to invite the opponent to attack in a waiting position and match it.
If you slam yourself in, it will take less time to reach you after the opponent's attack is released, making it harder to dodge that amount. Therefore, waiting for an attack becomes very important at the counter.
However, in the case of Nil-chan, not only the waiting position, but also the daring to come forward to lure the opponent's attack, and to match the counter. Moreover, I saw such a scene many times. Nil-chan is doing this easily, but even if she wants to, it's not something she can do.
If the opponent's strength is high and the sword speed is fast, etc., instead of matching the counter, it will often become a skewer without even avoiding it. In the first place, it is too slow to move after seeing the opponent's attack, so it is required to accurately predict the opponent's attack and avoid it in line with the opponent's movement.
If you come this far, you can't do without a certain level of confidence in your prediction in the world of perception and prediction, not your earliest physical abilities and five senses. If you remove the prediction, you will be directly linked to death, so you can never remove the prediction.
Besides, even if the prediction is hit, if the front leg becomes a little dull, it will be just an attack rather than a counter at that point, so it is not allowed to be a little down in front of the fact that you may die. It is a technique that cannot be done without tremendous skill and spiritual strength.
To step forward and take the counter is not to predict, but to predict the closest observation eye to the earliest prediction, and to step forward even before death without the courage to do so.
Everyone can see that Nilchan is working harder every day than anyone else.
And...... Beside Nil-chan, Pilte, who worked hard every day, finally stepped into the area.
The tip of the spear that the Scythians pushed out toward the face of the Piltee in front of them.
Zaah!
"Ah!?"
At the timing of the frozen spine, Piltee's body flowed sideways, and the tip of the spear fluttered past Piltee's left cheek.
Didn't you think you could avoid it? The Scythians reacted with surprise when they saw Piltee fluttering.
”Haaaaaa!!”
Shush!!!
"Grrrr!!!"
One of Nil-chan's basic soft sword technique techniques, Wave.
This technique deals centrifugal damage to the target while dodging the target's attack.
Blood was seeping from the wound on Pilate's cheek when the Trident was razed, but it was literally razed.
On the other hand, the shadowclaw in Piltee's left hand sticks out slightly under the Scythe's throat and neck, and sticks out to the back of the head.
Originally, Piltee's skill would not release a blow that would penetrate the Scythe's throat.
However, by using wave punching, we combined the momentum of approaching each other and the centrifugal force twisting the body, and realized an intense blow that could not be produced by arm strength alone.
As I explained, this is not an easy thing, and it is not something that can be carried out because I came up with it. From day to day, the result of thoroughly polishing with Nil-chan was that the moment it appeared in shape was now.
I was surprised to learn about the disadvantages of the opponent's ability to regenerate and anticipate the development of using it, but I was also a little surprised by Pilté, who chose to break through the opponent's defenses and release a deadly blow.
"Gah..."
Boom!
The Scythe seemed to be in pain because of the shadow owl that pierced their throat, and they waved the Trident to rip off the Pilterer.
Grrrrr!
Gah!
But Pilate avoided it, and turned the pierced shadowcrows as if to scoop them, and pulled them out of the flesh of the throat.
No matter how high the Scales' ability to regenerate, even the cuts did not heal in an instant, so it shouldn't be possible to instantly heal the scorched throat. With the blood flowing out, I could barely breathe. I looked up at the Trident, but this is the blow that determines the battle.
What happened?!
"Ngh!!"
Tattoo!
It seems that Mina and the other Scythian tribe were delayed in getting backup because the Pilate blow was decided too suddenly, but as I remembered, they ran out...
"Ngh!!"
Grrrr!
"Grrrr!"
Gin!
I leapt to the moving Scythe, kicking them in, and Pilte completely controlled the scene by applying a trapping blow to the approaching minor.
"Gah... gah..."
The Scythians who were trying to regenerate their own throat took a few steps back and hid behind Maina and the other Scythians. However, even if it is a damage that can be regenerated, it can be brought into a two-on-two state for a while.
You should have come by yourself from the beginning!
Bye, Gin!
"Ngh!!"
Pilte waved the shadowclaw down to Maine, holding her straight sword and holding the shadowclaw.
In the end, Minas seemed to have thought a lot and created a one-on-one composition, but it could be said that he might have had a better chance of winning if he had created a three-on-two situation from the beginning. However, if Pilte and I had three against two, we would have fought in the same way, and we weren't going to lose, so I think it was the same in the end.
There are so many people who can't use it!
Maina gave a glance at the Scythe with her throat scratched.
I said I couldn't use it, but to be clear, I was fighting one or two opponents even though I had fought so far.
Looking at the results, Piltee only suffered a shallow wound, which seemed to overwhelm the opponent, but in fact, it was not surprising which one won. By reading the opponent's attack, Pilte's army cup had risen in the match, but if it had been a few centimeters apart, Pilte would definitely have died. The Scales are not those who are said to never be able to use them. In other words, it is not that the Scythe could not use the plan set up by Minor, but it is bad that Minor has not been able to master it.
"After all, I have to deal with it."
………………
Maina stared at Pilte and set up her straight sword.
To be clear, the pressure felt by the Maina holding the straight sword was less than the pressure the Scythians were exerting on Piltee. It may be that Maina is weaker than the Scythians, but for the vampires, the thickness of blood is absolute.
"Well... why...? Why can't I move..."
It was a bad thing to be motivated, but unfortunately, it was like she was already losing.
I didn't do anything with Piltee in particular. Even though you are really just standing, Mina's body is naturally stuck and doesn't come forward.
Because the vampire's blood flowing in the main is instinctively afraid of Piltee.
This is not limited to minor, but if I try to point the blade at people of pure blood, it will be in the same state.
The body decides on its own that it can't beat itself. That's the state.
That said, if you have the determination and will to overcome it, you will not be able to move at all. Or should I say that I hold back my instincts with reason?
Well, it's not as simple as that, and I don't think Maina is prepared or willing to do that, so I can't kill Piltee for her.
"What the hell is going on...?!" What did you do?! "
"... I didn't do anything."
"That's impossible..."
Pilte really hasn't done anything. It was just pointing straight toward Mina. Yet, as soon as the Pilté steps forward half a step, the Minor takes a reflexive step back.
Previously, since she was attacking with momentum for cover, there was no problem, but she was completely absorbed by Pilté's presence by facing her quietly.
In a nutshell, I'm … frightened.
"I-I 'm... scared...?" To a little girl like this...? "
Just by seeing Pilate's figure, Maina couldn't hide her surprise when she was scared of herself.
"Don't be ridiculous! That can't be happening!" Tell me what you did! "
I can't understand why I'm scared or why I can't move, and I'm confused. There's no in-laws to explain why, and it's good to take them down while you're confused.
"Whatever is happening, it doesn't matter anymore. I'm going to die right now.”
Tan!
"Huh?!"
Pilte let out a cold voice and kicked the floor without waiting for Maina's words.
Surrrr!
If I kill Maina, the Scythians will die too. As Pilté moves, the Scythians who were in front of me will try to enter Maina's escort.
But you can't let me go to Pilate when I'm in front of you.
Gin!
I stand in front of the Scythe trying to run towards Pilte and block their path.
