Ministry Action Records

Accompanied by a huge noise, the smoke and dust waves spread in all directions, and other people in the tomb could clearly feel the vibration of the ground caused by this blow.

"Just jump up slightly when the ground shakes." After hearing the sound, Yukinoshita remembered this sentence and her body jumped instinctively, dodging it in time. Then she looked back and found that it was Hikigaya who hit her. Yukinoshita covered her forehead with her hands in embarrassment, her face slightly red as she looked at the ground.

No one would notice it, it was just a slight jump. Yukinoshita rolled her eyes and glanced at the people around her. Well, that's good, no one paid any attention in her direction.

The greatsword landed just in front of the heavily armored knight, and the main body slashed through the air, creating exaggerated cracks on the ground. All the lightning and thunder fell on the heavily armored knight. When the knight, who was blown four or five meters away, stood up again, wisps of white smoke were already coming out of the dark grey armor.

Hikigaya pulled with both hands, and the greatsword changed back to sword and shield form.

Clank! This was the sound of the sledgehammer and shield hitting the ground. The knight abandoned his weapon and rushed straight towards Hikigaya.

Now that you have given up your weapon, what else can you do? The dagger made a sound like an engine turning, and the blade turned red as if it had been heated. Hikigaya swung the sword at the knight who was close at hand.

It turned red? So much faster?! Hikigaya instantly put away his weapon, and the dagger disappeared into thin air.

The knight swung his right hand to block the shield that Hikigaya wanted to raise, and hit Hikigaya's abdomen hard with his left hand.

Tsk! Feeling the force coming from his abdomen, Hikigaya raised the corner of his mouth, stepped heavily on the ground to stabilize his body, and the shield also dissipated into the air. He used his left hand, which was originally holding the shield, to tightly grasp the hand that hit him. With the five fingers of his right hand spread out, a deep blue ball of light appeared in the palm of his hand and aimed at the knight's body.

"Ten times the soul torrent."

An orange-red flame ignited from Hikigaya's body, and the blue ball of light exploded into a huge pale blue beam that completely submerged the figure of the heavily armored knight. The beam lasted for almost ten seconds before finally disappearing, and an arc-shaped tunnel was formed where it passed, which was charred black and full of traces of high temperature burns.

Under the hunter's costume, veins bulged on Hikigaya's right hand. The move that Van taught him to double the body's strength, speed, attack power and defense power, although it put a great strain on the body, he still liked to use it in the past.

"If you want to disturb my king, you have to step over my body."

Bang! Hikigaya's head was hit hard.

What appeared in front of Hikigaya was a knight who looked like a zombie. His heavy armor had completely turned to ashes, and his head barely retained a human appearance. He was wearing very tattered white clothes and shorts, and his exposed hands and feet had completely lost all moisture and were as black as burnt firewood.

Hikigaya could see that even if he did nothing, he would soon collapse completely, just like what was happening before his eyes, with fragments constantly falling off the knight's body and turning into ashes and falling to the ground.

But waiting like this was so boring. Hikigaya grabbed the knight's collar with his right hand, slowly took off his tricorn hat with his left hand, and then bumped into the knight's head.

It seems that I should be more stubborn. Hikigaya thought as he loosened the knight's collar and watched the large amount of ashes falling from the knight's head.

"What's your name?" He took off his hunter gloves, his coat and the leather armor that was like a shirt underneath, shook his neck and arms, and stood in front of the knight with his upper body naked.

"King's Guardian, Myra." The knight replied in his hoarse voice.

"My name is Hikigaya Hachiman. Maybe this name may seem a bit strange to you." Hikigaya said with a smile.

"You attack first." Hikigaya raised his fists.

Hikigaya slid to avoid Myra's straight punch, grabbed Myra's arm and threw him to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw.

"Do you want to come again?" Hikigaya asked.

Without saying anything, Myra stood up on her hands and hit Hikigaya in the face with a swift right hook, which completely exploded her right hand.

The conviction behind this punch is amazing!

"Puff", a tooth was spit out from Hikigaya's mouth, and he licked the empty space with his tongue. A faint smell of blood filled Hikigaya's mouth.

The knight was already on the verge of collapse. He raised his only remaining left hand with difficulty and punched Hikigaya weakly.

"Snap." Hikigaya opened his left hand to catch the knight's strongest attack, and stretched his right hand back to prepare for something.

"Is this the King's Guardian..." Hikigaya muttered, and his right hand completely pierced the knight's body.

The right hand suspended in mid-air had only some black ash on it, while Myra had completely turned into ashes.

48. Flashbang? Haha! ...My eyes!

"If you want to fight, just fight. Why do you have to take off all your clothes?" Looking at Hikigaya who was putting on the hunter clothes he had just taken off piece by piece, Yukinoshita said with a strange look on her face.

"Close combat is all about the collision of flesh, and your opponent doesn't have any protective gear, right? Throw away your equipment and face each other honestly, this is the tradition of Higurashi!" Hikigaya shouted.

"Your hat is crooked, Hikigaya, you're still so traditional." Yukinoshita said unhappily, raising both hands to help Hikigaya straighten his hat.

"Is it okay?" Hikigaya asked.

"Well, that's okay." After looking at it for a while, Yukinoshita took her hands off the tricorn hat and nodded slightly.

"Hey, your tooth." Yukinoshita smiled, drew her sword and accurately knocked the white object on the ground away, and the tooth bounced accurately towards Hikigaya.

"Oh." Raising his hand to catch it and holding it in his palm, Hikigaya used his thumb to push his knocked-out tooth away like flipping a coin, and quickly reached out to catch it when it was halfway down.

"My own teeth are like materials in a sense. It's not good to just throw them away..." Hikigaya murmured, throwing the tooth away again and watching it dissipate into the air.

"Borodin is still not moving. Do we have to get rid of the last knight who can set off mines? If he doesn't move, maybe we can just ignore him and leave. He was not our target in the first place. If that's the case, then there is only one enemy left?" After observing the surroundings, Yukinoshita said.

"My Holy Spirit, please protect me." The Knight of Light, who had been standing still, whispered softly, chanting a sentence like a spell.

The timing coincided with the moment when Yukinoshita finished speaking, and four knights wearing the same armor appeared behind Vodros of Light.

"Oh, an enemy, what a poisonous milk color, Yukinoshita." Leaning his head slightly towards Yukinoshita, Hikigaya mocked with malicious intent.

"Personally, I think summoned creatures should be counted as the same enemy." Yukinoshita replied coldly. She didn't seem to care about Hikigaya's words, but her slightly murderous eyes betrayed her.

"That's right, Yukinoshita, you are right, the summoned creatures should be counted together with the summoners." Hikigaya raised his hands in surrender.

"Let's go, let's go help Mr. Qiao."

"Ah."

Vodkos raised the lightsaber in his hand and pointed it directly at Yukinoshita and Hikigaya. Then, dense white spots of light appeared on the road ahead of the two. Thunder from the sky quickly struck down, thunder and lightning continued, and rocks flew everywhere on the exploded ground. In this rain curtain composed of thunder and lightning, the two men left behind a series of afterimages produced when they dodged, and as they continued to move forward, it seemed as if two winding roads were formed.

A sound of breaking air was heard. In addition to the air, the white lightning was also cut. The rotating shield passed through the thunder curtain, and bursts of dazzling sparks continued to be aroused on the shield. The sound of metal colliding with thunder was like playing a rhythmic music. The final sound of this music was the sound of the shield breaking through the thunder curtain and hitting the knight's sword-raising arm from the side.

"Bang!" The huge force carried by the shield caused the knight's hand that was hit to suddenly shift to other directions, and the roaring thunder also stopped.

The afterimage road formed by the graceful figures instantly turned into a blue dragon. In the shadow of the dragon's head was Yukinoshita who had only pulled out the Snow Dance knife. The cold sword energy turned into sharp dragon teeth, making the dragon even more ferocious, and it bit directly towards the Knight of Light in front.

When the blue dragon flew over the bounced shield, Yukinoshita grabbed it with her free hand and threw it diagonally behind her.

Looking at the shield that Yukinoshita threw to him, Hikigaya grasped the hilt of the dagger with both hands and raised it. The dagger accurately hooked into the mechanism of the shield that was spinning in the air. Following the direction of the flying shield, Hikigaya changed his sword-holding posture. Along with the sound of the mechanism turning, the sword and shield began to combine and transform into the shape of a giant axe. In the end, Hikigaya dragged the giant axe forward, like flowing clouds and water, without any pause.

Yukinoshita wielded the Dance of Fine Snow and slashed down from top to bottom. As Yukinoshita slashed, the blue dragon opened its mouth and bit Vodkos's armor. The huge and sharp dragon teeth kept squeezing the armor of the Knight of Light. In the process of continuous contraction, the ice layer gradually condensed on the surface of the armor, and the armor also made a slight sound of being unable to bear the weight.

Taking the Red Lotus Dance in her hands, Yukinoshita held the two swords and slashed them horizontally at Vodkos' waist. Vodkos, who was repelled by this attack, just stopped in the trajectory of the giant axe that was swung horizontally. The giant axe was so close that it was inevitable that he would be hit.

"Bang!" As expected, Vodkos was smashed away by the giant axe. Only some broken ice remained on the axe blade or fell to the ground, and soon turned into water.

"Is it solved?" Looking at the place buried by rubble and seeing no movement, Yukinoshita asked.

"Probably not. There's not that kind of... feeling of killing." Hikigaya expressed his opinion after gripping the handle of the giant axe.

"What is the feeling of a kill..." Yukinoshita asked Hikigaya with a subtle expression.

"It's a bit mysterious and hard to explain. It's just a feeling... I smashed him to death and I didn't smash him to death are two completely different feelings." Hikigaya didn't know if he explained it clearly.

"Oh." It seems that there is no more...

A lightsaber broke out of the ground, attracting the attention of the two. As the light of the lightsaber became increasingly condensed, Yukinoshita realized something and closed her eyes. She listened attentively to guard against any enemies that might approach.

Well, with Hikigaya's experience, he should be able to guess it. I won't remind him, lest he become complacent and say something like, "Oh, Yukinoshita, do you think I couldn't guess it?"

Even with her eyes closed, Yukinoshita could still feel the extremely blinding light in front of her. If she hadn't closed her eyes, she would have covered her eyes in great pain, just like... just like Hikigaya next to her. This person actually got hit? !

"Oh shit, it's a flashbang! I, a dignified hunter, was hit by the enemy's flashbang! Hunters are the only ones who should dodge others! How embarrassing!" Yukinoshita's eyes were not irritated by the enemy's light, but her ears were irritated by Hikigaya's screams. It was unclear whether he was feeling pain in his eyes or in pain from the fact that he was hit by a flashbang.

Forget it, I'll do it myself. Vodros has stood up and pointed his sword at Yukinoshita again.

Is it another thunder? Yukinoshita is ready to dodge.

Thunder roared, but the lightning fell on the four knights summoned by Vodros. What was going on? Strengthening teammates? Yukinoshita was puzzled.

The four knights summoned fell to the ground with smoke all over their bodies, their armors were covered with burn marks from lightning. Killing teammates?! What's going on? Is this a trap?

"Don't worry, Miss Yukinoshita, attack with all your strength." Joseph had a smile on his face, as if to show that the situation was under control.

When fighting with the Knight of Light just now, although he and Abdel were dodging unilaterally, Joseph also discovered that the lightning should have been emitted from the sword at first. Whenever lightning struck, the knight's sword would always flash continuously. The Hermit's Purple can transmit lightning and ripples. With a trial mentality, Joseph used the Hermit's Purple to connect the lightsaber and the four summoned knights. Now it seems that this operation was still very successful. His own stand, the Hermit's Purple, is still quite useful.

It looks like there's nothing to worry about, so let's resolve it quickly.

Yukinoshita stared at Vodros's armor. The place where he and Hikigaya had hit him before had already cracked a little. If he hit him a few more times, he should be able to penetrate it.

The two swords slashed forward one after another, and the red and blue arc-shaped sword energy hit the knight one after another. Under the snow that was already close to Vodros, the absolute sword was swung horizontally, sweeping away Vodros's sword-holding arm, and the dance of fine snow chopped down vertically, and a blood-red cross was cut on the armor.

An enemy who is not good at strength? Well, it doesn't matter. That's enough. He took a ryushin stance, pointed the tip of the sword at the center of the crack in the armor, and the knight's body was completely pierced.

49. Detective Hikigaya Hachiman

The moment the tip of the blade pierced through Vodros' body, the armor on his body completely lost its light. The flickering lightsaber finally went out as if it had lost its energy source, and slowly slid from the knight's open palm. The fingers that could no longer move were unable to hold the hilt, and the lightsaber fell to the ground with a clanging sound.

The hand holding the Dance of Snow lightly pressed on the knight's armor, and Yukinoshita drew out the absolute sword that she had just used for stabbing. Although there was nothing stained on it, no enemy blood, no dust or the like, Yukinoshita still habitually waved her weapons to the side before putting them back into the sheath. Well, it was an action to adjust the state and prepare for the next attack, just like playing an FPS game, after killing an enemy, no matter how many bullets I have consumed, I have to press the R key to refill the bullets.

"Thank you for your help, Joseph-san." Yukinoshita turned around and said.

"Haha, you're too kind. I know my own level well. I just saved Miss Yukinoshita a few efforts." Joseph waved his hands and laughed.

"I'm not flattering you, Joseph-san. You have participated in the battle against the powerful enemy in your own way, right?"

"Try to avoid fighting, but never hide from it. That's what a true gentleman does." Joseph replied, pressing his hat.

"You must have been the protagonist of some story when you were young, Joseph-san, you speak like a protagonist." Yukinoshita smiled.

"Haha, it's the same now." Joseph shouted, not feeling ashamed at all.

"Haha." The people I met on this trip are all very interesting.

Alas, every time after releasing the Dragon Slash, her hair is always super messy. She feels a slight itch on some parts of her cheeks. Yukinoshita tucks all the scattered hair behind her ears. Her slender fingers holding her hair linger on her ears. Yukinoshita remembers something. Ah, she seems to have been wearing a hair band all the time. She fumbled in the pocket of her clothes, took out a black hair band and tied her long hair into a simple ponytail. She shook her head left and right. Yukinoshita felt very good.

"Hikigaya, your eyes haven't recovered yet?" Looking at Hikigaya who lowered his head and covered his eyes, Yukinoshita walked over and asked.

"My knife is very cold. Do you want to use it to apply some compress?" Yukinoshita thought her idea was not bad, so she pulled out the Madoka no Yuki and placed it in front of Hikigaya. The coldness of the blade radiated onto Hikigaya's face.

"Apply ice? No need. I just got a flash in my eye, not a hit. I can just rub it a few times myself. Besides, the temperature of your knife is not suitable for external application. It's too cold." After saying this, Hikigaya exhaled a breath of white air.

"It's okay to be able to complain, but is this knife very cold? I feel very cool." Yukinoshita closed her eyes and put the Dance of Fine Snow on her face, feeling the cool and refreshing feeling. That's it, refreshing to the core. In the scorching desert, there is no need for those things that warm the heart. Thinking of this, Egypt is also a very friendly place to her.

"I clearly remember that when I was hunting before, I would throw the flashbang and watch it explode. Why did I get hit just now? Huh? I can't figure it out?" Hikigaya complained while rubbing his eyes.

"Maybe... it's because it's dark here?" Yukinoshita said, tilting her head.

"No, I also hunt at night. A team of four people each has three flash grenades, and nothing happens all night long."

"Does your own flash bomb have a buff that protects friendly forces from damage..."

"Uh...buff? Hiss~ Is there one on the flash bomb? I haven't really noticed it..." Does this reason seem to make sense? !

"Okay, do you have any paper? I want to wipe it." Hikigaya raised his head and kept blinking his red eyes, his eyes filled with tears.
