I rely on myself

Chapter 718 Self-awareness?

Back to the next competition, Shin, who has activated the Imitation Lightning Release Chakra Mode, naturally will not let go of his speed advantage. Relying on this speed advantage, he can easily launch an attack and retreat before Chiyomi can react.

If the Moon Phases were not of very high quality as puppets, they might have been smashed directly. But even so, after many rounds of attacks, except for the Full Moon which had its own defensive strengths, the Plastic Moon and the Crescent Moon were not in good condition.

Although from the appearance, apart from the serious damage to the clothes, there were no other obvious damages, but the movements of the two puppets, Plastic Moon and Crescent Moon, would suddenly freeze from time to time. Although they recovered quickly, this was a serious interference in the race against time, making it increasingly difficult for them to keep up with the fierce battle.

This was because parts in their bodies were damaged. In the previous battle, Xin found out that attacking the Full Moon had no effect, so he focused his attack on the other two puppets, Plastic Moon and Crescent Moon.

Since they were completely unable to keep up with Xin's movements, all of Xin's attacks fell on them. Although they were able to hold on due to their very good quality, the structures and parts inside their bodies were inevitably affected or even damaged.

It is better to say that the fact that it has been able to continue running until now can be said to be of excellent quality.

While running around at high speed, he looked at the situation of Chiyomi and the Moon People, and thought confidently: "It's almost done. Except for the full moon, the plastic moon and the crescent moon can hardly hold on any longer. It's time to give the final blow."

Thinking of this, Xin's eyes narrowed and he made a decision in an instant.

"tread----!"

With a crisp sound of footsteps, Xin's originally wandering figure stopped instantly, and with the help of this step, he burst out instantly, and Xin turned into a ray of lightning and rushed straight towards Chiyomi.

No one had expected this sudden outburst, including Chiyomi. When she reacted, Xin, who was wrapped in lightning, had already rushed in front of her, with a triumphant smile on his face and a hand reaching out to her.

Because they are companions, he naturally cannot use heavy hands or anything, so Xin stretched out his hand like this. As long as he seizes the moment when Chiyomi is in danger and discharges the electricity appropriately, he can subdue Chiyomi and make her lose her ability to fight.

Perhaps because of her high level of concentration, Chiyomi could clearly see every frame of Nobu's action at this moment, but her body could not keep up.

At the same time, even if they called out to the Moon People, it was too late. Man Yue was behind Chiyomi at this time, blocked by Chiyomi herself, and could not catch up at all.

At the same time there were Plastic Moon and Crescent Moon. The two of them were on the left and right sides of Chiyomi and the distance between them was very close. But as mentioned before, because of the damage accumulated inside their bodies, their movements would pause from time to time, making them slower, and that was the case now.

It would be better to say that this raid location was specially chosen by Nobuyuki himself. He anticipated this situation, so he chose this location to launch a raid on Chiyomi, and the result was just as he had imagined.

Just before Xin's hand was about to touch Chiyomi, an accident happened!
Accompanied by a rather obscure wave, Chiyomi's figure blurred for a moment, and then became clear again in an instant, but the figure turned into another person... or to be more precise, it should be a doll, Man Yue!

Xin's confident winning move landed directly on Man Yue's raised round shield, and the electric shock released subconsciously was easily blocked by Man Yue's moon barrier. "What, what is going on!!!"

Xin exclaimed in disbelief. At the same time, because this accident was too sudden and too unexpected, he even stood there in a daze and was unable to react for a while.

Instead, Plastic Moon and Crescent Moon on the left and right reacted at this time, and quickly swung their half-moon axes and scimitars to slash at Xin's body. Unfortunately, this level of attack was naturally unable to break through the defenses of the Lightning Release Chakra Mode and the Chakra Armor, and was directly resisted.

At the same time, Xin was also awakened by the attack. No matter what happened, the most urgent thing was to immediately keep a distance to avoid any accidents.

With a flash of lightning, Xin's figure disappeared in front of Man Yue, and the next moment he appeared in an open space more than ten meters away.

“You were able to react in that situation, Chiyomi. Did I underestimate you————?!”

Shin once again distanced himself from her and admired Chiyomi sincerely, but when he saw the same surprise on Chiyomi's face, he immediately felt something was wrong and hurriedly looked at the three dolls of the Moon Phase Clan.

Without Chiyomi's instructions, they just stood there and waited quietly, like ordinary puppets, but because of this, the previous scene was clearer.

"...I didn't expect this to happen. A doll with true self-awareness? Although I've heard seniors in the army mention this possibility before, when I saw it, I was impressed by my decision to learn how to make dolls."

After a moment's silence, Chiyomi was the first to speak. At this moment, she was no longer as lively as before, but instead had a quiet atmosphere. At the same time, the look she gave towards the three Moon Phase dolls became more gentle than ever before, as if she was looking at her own daughter.

"........."

On the other side, Xin remained silent because he didn't know what he should say for a moment, so he had to remain silent. Fortunately, Chiyomi spoke again soon and made a decision that surprised the audience around her.

"I surrender!"

"What?!"xN
But unlike most ordinary audiences, some quick-witted people quickly thought of something after being surprised and looked as if they understood.

"It's normal for me to recognize you so straightforwardly. In fact, if it wasn't for luck, I'm afraid I would have been defeated. Even in that sudden situation where you didn't have time to react, the attack of my Moon Phase People couldn't break your Lightning Escape Armor. Since the result is obvious, it's self-evident what I will do. No problem, referee."

At the end, Chiyomi suddenly turned the topic to the referee, Genma Shiranui, to which he replied naturally, "Of course, no problem. The right to admit defeat belongs to the players themselves... The third round is over, and the winner is Nobuyuki of the Snow Country."
