There was a time when some reckless young people went there late at night for a test of courage, and they actually encountered a few wandering ghosts. Fortunately, those ghosts were relatively weak and did not cause any injuries, and they were dealt with by Asama Nana and the Edo police.
To prevent anyone from going inside and risking their lives, the police later set up a cordon, and after that, no one went to the unfinished building again.
There are troublemakers hiding in this unfinished building; they've certainly chosen a good spot.
After understanding the situation and finding out the location of the unfinished building, Qin Huanyu didn't say much. Instead, under the admiring gazes of the little witch Asama Nana and the envious gazes of the deputy director, she summoned her latest battle armor, the Arrogant Witch, from the imaginary space, put it on, and soared into the sky.
It's not that Qin Huanyu is reckless and arrogant, but rather that her current combat strength and mobility are about 7-8% of Lei Mingming's peak level, and she can do many things that Lei Mingming couldn't do.
Unless it's the most bizarre or monstrous kind of enemy, Qin Huanyu is confident that she can take down whoever the enemy is in the unfinished building, or at least retreat and call for backup.
In just over 20 seconds, Qin Huanyu flew to the top of the unfinished buildings and activated the Mathematical Magic Eye to observe from above.
Various traces quickly appeared in Qin Huanyu's field of vision. She then rapidly deduced and calculated those traces, quickly figuring out the process by which the enemy infiltrated the place and the process by which Asama Nana came to investigate.
The enemy has considerable counter-surveillance capabilities, but unfortunately, they cannot achieve perfect secrecy. As long as there is even the slightest clue or trace left behind, it is impossible to escape the tracking of the Mathematical Eye.
In fact, the enemy hadn't run away either. Qin Huanyu quickly located the enemy's position by deducing from various traces in the unfinished building—in the garage on the second basement level of the unfinished building.
Qin Huanyu frowned slightly. For someone with aerial combat skills like her, the underground parking garage environment was undoubtedly somewhat disadvantageous.
She did not want to fight in a disadvantageous environment.
So Qin Huanyu once again widened her mathematical magic eye and performed various calculations on the existing structure of the entire unfinished building, and quickly came up with a solution.
One of the biggest differences in authority between inspectors and investigators is that investigators can generally only mobilize police and armed police for assistance; they need to submit a report to request military support. Inspectors, on the other hand, do not have this restriction. When handling supernatural cases, they can mobilize local troops at any time. Although they do not have military ranks, they are completely superior to officials during missions.
At this moment, Qin Huanyu used this permission without hesitation. After completing the calculation, she immediately contacted the nearest Saint Zhou Kingdom naval destroyer and sent a set of detailed data.
After confirming Qin Huanyu's identity, the captain of the destroyer did not hesitate and immediately ordered the ship's missiles to be launched according to Qin Huanyu's request.
And so, more than 300 kilometers away on the sea, a missile, trailing a tongue of fire, rose vertically into the air. After reaching a certain altitude, it turned and shot straight toward Edo, finally hitting a certain area of that unfinished building with precision.
Just as Qin Huanyu had predicted, the underground parking garage of the unfinished building collapsed, but not completely. Instead, it left a large, sunken pit, much like an ancient arena.
In this way, the environment of the underground parking garage will no longer affect Qin Huanyu's flying ability.
In that deep crater, Qin Huanyu quickly spotted two more figures—they had seemed to have been hidden by some kind of magic before, but now they had been directly exposed by a missile.
One of the figures was none other than Nana Asama, who had been missing for more than 24 hours.
Her condition was not good; she was in a deep coma. There were several obvious tears on her shrine maiden robes, caused by sharp weapons, but no wounds were visible. She was just very weak, and her spiritual energy was almost depleted... She must have fought to the very last moment.
Beside Asama Nana stood a tall, imposing figure with white hair and beard, dressed like a traditional gentleman… Qin Huanyu felt he looked familiar, but couldn’t quite place him.
She was just about to find an opportunity to rescue Nana Asama when she saw the tall, burly old gentleman suddenly wave his hand, and Nana Asama flew directly towards her.
Qin Huanyu immediately realized that there was a trap in this, but it was also an open scheme—she couldn't possibly use an attack to destroy Asama Nana, nor could she just watch her get thrown away.
Qin Huanyu could only widen her Mathematical Eyes to make sure that there were no particularly dangerous traps on Asama Nana before reaching out to catch her.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Qin Huanyu took Asama Nana into her arms, she felt an almost irresistible force pulling her toward the ground... The force only disappeared after her feet touched the ground and she stood not far in front of the tall and burly old gentleman.
Qin Huanyu immediately tried to fly again, but found that a semi-transparent golden light shield, about 20 meters high, had appeared in mid-air. Many ancient runes could be seen on the light shield, which should be a spell that had been passed down for a long time in the Western Continent.
The spell's power is considerable, and forcibly breaking through it would be extremely difficult, especially with a powerful enemy nearby.
"You have accepted my challenge to a duel, and you cannot leave this arena until we have determined a winner."
The old gentleman did not attack directly, but instead, with a touch of chivalry, explained the situation to Qin Huanyu and reassured her:
"As for your companion, you don't need to worry... I've already shown her mercy. She fainted entirely because she refused to admit defeat and overexerted too much of her spiritual energy."
"..."
Qin Huanyu didn't speak. She had already realized that the enemy had shown mercy, otherwise Asama Nana's shrine maiden outfit wouldn't have only been torn without any wounds.
In addition, Qin Huanyu finally discovered what the enemy's open scheme was all about... There was a white glove hidden in the collar of Asama Nana's shrine maiden outfit.
Qin Huanyu caught Asama Nana, who was thrown to him, which was equivalent to accepting the white glove and fulfilling the conditions for activating the duel barrier.
And there seems to be only one old man in the entire supernatural world who possesses such strength and fights in accordance with the rules of chivalry.
Qin Huanyu took a deep breath, first placing Asama Nana a little further away before assuming a fighting stance, staring intently at the old gentleman:
"In that case, I have no choice but to learn from the old gentleman's skill."
"A figure straight out of mythology, the last Knight of the Round Table in the world—Galahad!"
Chapter 214 You are courting death!
Whether the old gentleman was truly Galahad from the Arthurian myth is unknown, but he did live for thousands of years, possessed great power, and always upheld chivalry.
Historically, there have been some frictions between the Holy Zhou Kingdom and England since a thousand years ago, and the photo studio's archives have long contained records of this old knight.
I never expected to run into Qin Huanyu today.
The old knight was definitely an enemy, but he was a gentlemanly one. He clearly showed mercy when he attacked Asama Nana, and he didn't interfere when Qin Huanyu was rescuing people.
Based on this alone, Qin Huanyu decided to forgo those unsportsmanlike fighting methods and instead have a fair and square knightly duel with the old knight, which would also serve as a practical test of the new armor's performance.
Once the duel barrier was complete, the old knight changed into his battle attire—a very simple full-body plate armor and a gleaming longsword.
After donning his armor and drawing his sword, the old knight still maintained his composure and did not make the first move. Instead, he casually gestured to indicate that he was ready to fight, signaling to Qin Huanyu that she could attack first.
Qin Huanyu showed no mercy. The thrusters on the back and lower legs of her armor were activated at full power, making her almost instantly become a blur as the Dragon-Slaying Mace slammed down on the old knight with a buzzing sound.
The original Dragon-Slaying Mace had extremely strong physical properties. When combined with the resonance strike from the Mathematical Eye, it was almost physically indestructible. Unfortunately, it was destroyed by nearly a quarter of its strength by the super acid sprayed by the Octopus-Headed Bishop during the battle in the Imperial Palace.
The Kanglong Mace is an alien creation; its special material doesn't exist on Earth. Qin Huanyu could only repair it using a unique spirit-repelling iron alloy. While the Kanglong Mace's physical properties are now inferior, it has gained some magic resistance.
At this moment, this meager magic resistance ability backfired, causing the old knight a major setback.
The earliest users of the Kanglong Mace can be traced back a thousand years, and Qin Huanyu was not the only user in later years. In the many conflicts in the history of the Holy Zhou Kingdom and Yinglan, the old knight should have also fought against other users of the Kanglong Mace.
So when he saw that Qin Huanyu's first move was to attack with the Kanglong Mace, a confident smile appeared in the old knight's eyes. He slightly turned his sword-wielding hand, and a stream of light appeared on the blade of the longsword as he met the Kanglong Mace from the side.
The flowing light seemed to be a kind of magic. When the sword blade and the mace clashed, Qin Huanyu felt an extremely strong deflection force, and her hand almost lost its grip on the mace handle.
Fortunately, the spirit-repelling iron alloy used to repair the Dragon-Slaying Mace worked its magic. Qin Huanyu gritted her teeth, gripped the Dragon-Slaying Mace tightly, and pressed down hard, forcibly resisting the magical effect and preventing the Dragon-Slaying Mace from deviating from its original swing trajectory, allowing it to continue smashing towards the old knight's face.
The old knight's confidence immediately turned into surprise, as if he was puzzled as to why the trick that had always worked against the Dragon-Slaying Mace was no longer effective this time.
But the old knight was also a seasoned veteran. Despite his doubtful expression, his movements when changing tactics were completely unwavering.
He suddenly released his grip on the sword hilt, letting the longsword fail to parry and be knocked away by the Kanglong Mace. At the same time, he lowered his center of gravity and lunged forward, throwing a punch at Qin Huanyu's shoulder with lightning speed.
This punch was extremely fast. If Qin Huanyu hadn't changed her move, she would likely have been knocked back by the punch before the Dragon-Slaying Mace could hit her.
Qin Huanyu didn't want to miss this opportunity, so she used her other hand to block, catching the old knight's punch with her palm.
Snapped!
As their fists clashed, Qin Huanyu felt the old knight's fist was extremely powerful; even through her armor, the blow made her hand go numb.
It's unstoppable! If this continues, Qin Huanyu will definitely be punched in the shoulder by the old knight along with his parrying hand, and then he will be sent flying!
Qin Huanyu was no match for the old knight in terms of physical strength, but Qin Huanyu did not rely solely on physical strength in the fight.
The palm that had been used to block the fist immediately lit up—if strength wasn't enough, artillery fire would suffice. The electromagnetic pulse cannon in the armor's palm instantly fired, a point-blank barrage!
Snapped!
Qin Huanyu's original intention was to use this cannon to block the old knight's fist, thereby ensuring that the resonant strike of the Kanglong Mace could hit.
Unexpectedly, the old knight changed tactics even faster. The moment the electromagnetic pulse cannon in the palm of the armor fired, he had already withdrawn his fist force. Instead, he used this point-to-point cannon shot to create distance between himself and Qin Huanyu, thus avoiding the attack of the Dragon-Slaying Mace.
Qin Huanyu immediately wanted to take two more steps forward to expand her attack range, but the longsword that the old knight had let go of earlier was now right between the two of them. The old knight kicked the hilt of the sword as he retreated, and it spun around and slashed at Qin Huanyu.
If Qin Huanyu still refuses to give up the attack of the Dragon-Slaying Mace, the longsword will also cut her open.
At this moment, Qin Huanyu was holding the Kanglong Mace in one hand and had just unleashed a palm strike with the other. Her legs needed to maintain their footwork to provide power for the swing of the Kanglong Mace. It seemed that she had no way to parry the longsword that was spinning and slashing towards her... at least that's what the old knight thought.
Qin Huanyu still refused to give up her attack. She used her fifth hand—an alloy tentacle at her lower back—to block the spinning slash of the longsword.
Despite the resonant impact of the Dragon-Slaying Mace, Qin Huanyu still managed to unleash it with unwavering determination. She wanted to use this move to gain a decisive advantage or force out one of the old knight's trump cards.
The old knight seemed to have seen through Qin Huanyu's plan, and sighed helplessly. His aura suddenly became strange.
Snapped!
The Dragon-Slaying Mace slammed into the old knight's shoulder armor, but the feel was off—its resistance was far too weak. It didn't feel like hitting a top-tier expert at all; it felt more like smashing into a glass statue.
Click!
Sure enough, the old knight's body shattered like glass, and the faint glow disappeared with the wind.
Qin Huanyu was no stranger to this phenomenon; she herself possessed similar techniques, so she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:
"Mirror image clone?"
"good eyesight."
The old knight's voice rang out a few steps away. By the time Qin Huanyu looked over, he was already ready to charge, and his longsword had returned to his hand.
"drink!"
Charge! Slash!
Without any fancy techniques or magical effects, just a simple and unadorned charging sword slash, Qin Huanyu's expression changed drastically.
Can't escape!
The tens of thousands of possibilities deduced by the Mathematical Eye in an instant told Qin Huanyu that even if she overloaded the power of the armor's thrusters, she would definitely not be able to dodge this sword!
too fast!
The ultimate skill is to complete the simplest action in the fastest time!
Qin Huanyu could only dodge with all her might while also using the power of the Holy Maiden, transforming it into an oval-shaped shield for defense.
A hint of surprise appeared in the old knight's eyes again, but his sword-wielding hand did not hesitate at all. With one strike, he cleaved the shield formed by the Holy Maiden's power, and then continued to slash at Qin Huanyu.
Using the approximately 300 milliseconds gained by the power of the Holy Maiden, Qin Huanyu quickly activated one of her magical artifacts.
False mirror.
Another woman, Qin Huanyu, dressed in an evening gown, floated in the air. Above the low-cut neckline of her gown was a golden inverted cross necklace, which was extremely dazzling at the moment.
BIU!
The next second, a golden beam as thick as a forearm shot out from the inverted cross, which was the full-force attack of the Arrogance Ray that Qin Huanyu had recorded in advance using the fake image mirror!
This was no longer a move that the old knight could easily parry with a single sword strike. He had no choice but to abandon his continued charge and slash at Qin Huanyu and instead parry with his sword, allowing Qin Huanyu to create distance between them.
In their first encounter, the two sides were evenly matched.
The old knight witnessed the variety of Qin Huanyu's moves, and Qin Huanyu personally experienced just how outrageous the old knight's close combat abilities were.
Qin Huanyu immediately decided to stop fighting the old knight in close combat. She flew to the highest point of the duel barrier and, while the old knight was still blocking the arrogant force ray, unleashed even more firepower.
The back of the armor suddenly unfolded, somewhat like dragonfly wings, but instead of being used for flight, it housed four ultra-thin displays.
Then the screen lit up, and various weapons such as machine guns and missiles appeared on the screen.
Missiles shot directly off the screen, and machine guns spat fire, unleashing a massive storm of steel upon the old knight on the ground.
This is another use of imaginary space. As long as enough weapons are stockpiled in the imaginary space in advance, the [Arrogant Witch] armor's regular firepower is infinite!
Faced with this level of firepower, the old knight's expression became completely solemn.
—Is this really just a rookie inspector? When did the extraordinary individuals of the Holy Zhou Kingdom become so powerful? Can the plan still succeed?
Despite some doubts in his mind, the old knight acted without hesitation.
Having just blocked the ray of arrogance, he raised his longsword high once more, ancient and mysterious runes lighting up around his body, and roared:
"The protection of the stray arrow!"
Instantly, within a 10-meter radius centered on the old knight, all the small missiles and machine gun shells that were about to hit him came to a near standstill, their speed becoming extremely slow.
Then the old knight swung his sword again, the sword light weaving into a net, cutting down all the missiles and cannonballs covering him in a few seconds.
Qin Huanyu was somewhat surprised, but not too surprised, and did not stop the barrage.
She never expected to completely defeat the old knight with this kind of firepower coverage, but the old knight's move must have taken a lot of energy, and continuing to wear him down should be advantageous.
After all, Qin Huanyu's imaginary space is connected to the [Inner Witch Tower], and has a war fortress-level ammunition reserve. How much physical strength and magic power does the old knight have?
Let's see who gives in first!
. . . . .
In the southern part of Sakura Prefecture, deep in a trench on the ocean floor, a state-of-the-art Aryan submarine lies silently lurking.
"The knight has succeeded; he has successfully lured away and held off the inspector!"
The man wearing the raven mask spoke with a hint of excitement:
