Herrscher of Reason's Arknights

It broke?!

And it shattered completely.

The entire folded frame of the shield completely broke, and the metal shield curled inward. Finally, under the pressure of the force, it shattered into pieces that flew in all directions.

Terrifying explosive power.

The girl landed just then, her long silver hair like drifting snowflakes, her shoes barely touching the ground, as light as a feather.

That's terrifying power. It seems the opponent is not only skilled in speed, but also in explosive power.

Perhaps because she was in the developmental stage, the silver-haired girl, who was already on the dividing line between a teenage girl and a young girl, was as sharp as a silver blade at this moment.

The orange scarf fluttered back and forth in mid-air.

You can't judge a book by its cover; it looks like we've run into a real expert.

But no problem.

A hand tore off the shield's remains and threw them on the ground, then pressed a mechanism located on the back of the neck.

That's the injection site for the medicine.

In addition to the built-in protective layer of the armor, there are some small items that are not usually used.

For example...

Fortifying agent.

A product from the company, a short-acting stimulant specifically designed for use on soldiers in war.

It can make people ignore pain and injury, and greatly increase their abilities.

Of course, there are side effects, but this is an upgraded version. Because strong side effects could cause personnel losses, the original large-dose injection has been changed to a small-dose injection.

Short-acting enhancement can effectively exert all its power in a short period of time. Because the duration is relatively short, there are no major side effects, at most just increased physical fatigue.

Technology is the primary productive force.

The company's products are quite efficient in terms of quality.

"Nice punches, but utterly meaningless!!"

The medicine was suddenly injected into the syringe under high pressure.

From the man's perspective, the fatigue he had felt earlier vanished instantly.

I am now full of power!

Even the reactions have become much happier, and everything that the eyes see and hear has begun to slow down.

Better vision and enhanced hearing.

The power of perception is amplified infinitely, and one's state of mind is excellent.

Incredibly good!

It seems there has never been a better time than now.

"This is your last warning. Leave now."

"Enough talk! Let's start round two."

The remote control device in the palm of his right hand was activated. Under the special sensing of the Originium artifact, the longsword that was originally on the ground was suddenly dragged by an unseen force and flew back into the man's hand.

This is also a product of a technology company, quite magical.

The man suddenly unleashed even greater power than before.

Its speed also increased significantly; the previously somewhat cumbersome black knight suddenly became exceptionally agile.

Did the other person eat something?

The agile girl dodged the opponent's whistling slashes, causing countless attacks to miss their mark.

Unable to discern her opponent's tactics, Yelena dared not attack recklessly. Instead, she retreated, dodging and weaving to avoid the opponent's seemingly relentless onslaught.

"Hiding and dodging is so annoying!"

The man leaped up, like a heavy hammer cleaving vertically.

The girl used the same trick again.

But this time.

"You can't escape now!"

This time, the man's reaction speed had improved significantly.

There's no point in repeating the same trick.

The other party could accurately capture every move the girl made.

Running there won't help!

The vertical slash suddenly changed into a diagonal slash mid-air!

In the air, there is nothing to use for leverage; once airborne, there is nowhere to hide.

Fixed targets are the easiest to hit.

The man had already foreseen the other's predetermined fate.

In the face of technology, nothing else matters.

The blade has changed; if the opponent leaps, there will be nowhere to retreat, but if they don't jump, there is no room to dodge.

The girl's legs were slightly bent, and she no longer had a chance to change her position.

One step wrong, step by step wrong.

"Die!!!"

The man roared and swung his knife.

however.

The girl did bend her knees slightly, but she didn't jump up or dodge at all.

The attempt to jump was just a feint.

If the other party can exploit weaknesses, so can she.

Sure enough, the guy fell for it.

A sudden chill gathered in his hands.

The hard, ice-made gauntlets collided violently with the longsword in mid-air.

This time, however, the man did not feel the tremors from the impact again.

Because the girl was holding the blade of the knight's sword with both hands.

"Varied!!"

The man didn't have time to draw his sword, because the next moment...

White ice crystals had already climbed up the blade.

With a roar of anger from the girl, she clenched her fists inward.

With a "click".

The ice crystals shattered instantly.

Along with it, the part of the sword that the girl was holding in her hands shattered.

This knight's longsword...it was actually...broken to pieces by the opponent?!

While the other person was still in a daze, the girl stepped forward.

"Inch power..."

Just as the man was about to discard the longsword and draw the short knife, he felt his knee sink.

Because of her height, although she has grown up, Yelena is still only 1.6 meters tall.

So if you want to hit someone on the head, you have to step on something.

So the girl took advantage of the situation, kicking off the other person's knee and punching upwards.

—"The creation of the world!!!"

P.S.: I can't believe I got stood up! I thought we'd agreed I'd go on a trip yesterday and then come back to update properly, but then they told me halfway there it was changed to today?!

Holy crap!

Then all the drafts I prepared yesterday were gone, so I still had to rush to finish today's update in the middle of the night. Fortunately, I managed to finish it in the end, but there will probably only be two updates today, but it's not certain. It depends on what time I get back. If I can get back early, I might be able to make a third update. If I can't get back in time, then I'll have to use the two spare updates. [collapses]

Ugh, class reunions and all that stuff are so annoying!!!

Chapter 111, Section 115: [Incurable]

"This is····

"...What kind of martial art..."

It felt like a lifetime had passed. My mind seemed to see the universe explode, the growth and destruction of all things, and the division of the divine sea. It was as if my soul had been punched out of the heavens, wandered around for a while, and then returned.

Kneeling on the ground in a daze, the man's upper body armor had been torn into scattered fragments by the gale.

Such incredibly sturdy mechanical armor, the company's latest product, a perfect creation of materials science.

it turns out····

It was so fragile, like a piece of paper.

The girl didn't kill him. The punch that looked devastating didn't land on the man's face. The girl deliberately shifted the direction of her attack slightly, letting her fist graz the man's face.

However, that punch, which was almost like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing, grazed the helmet in the blink of an eye.

It sounded as if a thousand eagles were emitting terrifying cries.

The howling of the gale seemed like the mockery of the gods.

They mocked his ignorance and stupidity.

They mocked the ant that had stepped on the griffin's tail.

That punch was like the sky descending before his eyes, a sky called the sky of death, and the impact it brought instantly tore the mask to shreds.

The ring-shaped white cloud even exceeded the speed of sound, and the resulting sonic boom momentarily stunned the man.

My ears have become temporarily deaf.

By the time he came to his senses, the girl was already far away.

For a moment, he even felt as if he had seen a god.

My hearing gradually returned, but the sound seemed incomplete.

There was something warm and sticky on the side of my face.

I touched it and saw that my hand was covered in blood.

It seems that one of his ears is deaf.

"...Who exactly is this person?"

So terrifying.

Is it scary?

Yes, it's really scary.

He could never forget that punch, that nameless fist technique, that he would never forget.

That was the ultimate oppressive force, as if divine punishment was imminent.

It was as if a majestic mountain range had collapsed before our eyes.

Even now, thinking back on it again, I still feel my whole body tremble.
