Hand of Declaration?
Angel immediately thought of Sealed Artifact owned by Emmett Harbor Team, but then realized that this must be the similar Beyonder Ability owned by Sequence, which became one of her abilities after being "Shepherd" Ms. D Grazing.
After trying to pull the trigger under Prohibition, she found that the bullet could not be fired when the hammer hit the primer. Angel gave up the plan of long-range attack. She stuffed "Bloodthirst" back into the holster, took out the dagger at her waist, and pressed "Magician Pocket Watch" with her left hand.
Flame...
Her eyes were fixed on the carpet in front of Ms. D. It was burned by the liquid flames dripping from Flame Spear, and there was still a trace of open flame on it.
jump!
As soon as her eyes lit up, she had crossed the space and appeared in front of Ms. D, with the dagger drawn out like lightning.
"Shepherd" who had just promulgated Prohibition obviously did not expect the intruder to have such mobility. Her beautiful blue eyes widened, her pupils shrank, and she took a small step back.
"Shua——"
The sharp dagger slashed across Ms. D's neck, creating a not-so-deep wound and bringing out a string of bright red blood drops.
It was expected by Angel that one blow did not cause fatal damage, not to mention that even a fatal injury in general concept may not cause much trouble to Mid Sequence Beyonder of Secrets Suppliant Pathway. The chest where Dunn hit Ms. D with two shots just now stopped bleeding and began to heal quickly.
She even wiped the blood from her neck nonchalantly and opened her bloody right hand to grab Angel.
Blood... is some kind of special attack?
Angel did not bother to continue the attack, but dodged and retreated.
"Continue the attack!"
Dunn's voice sounded behind her. He closed his eyes slightly and pressed his temple with his gloved right hand.
At the same time, Ms. D's blue eyes lost their luster and his eyelids drooped as he rushed forward, as if he was about to enter Dream Invasion town standing in this brightly lit hall.
By the way, even if Soest was deceived by Ms. D and stayed outside without joining the battle, there are other "Nightmare" here!
Angel retracted his right hand holding the dagger, and held the end of the dagger with his left hand. He exerted force on his legs, waist, and shoulders, transferring his whole body's strength to his hands, and launched the assassin's "Mighty Blow".
The dagger drew an afterimage and stabbed straight into the chest of Ms. D, who looked sleepy.
There was a tooth-piercing friction sound. The steel dagger did not pierce the opponent's plump chest as expected. Instead, it was blocked by a piece of silver armor that appeared at an unknown time. It continued to move forward less than an inch with difficulty and stopped amid the friction.
Not only the upper body, but Ms. D's whole body was instantly covered in a set of exquisite, retro silver armor. The helmet, crown, breastplate, skirt, gauntlets, and leggings were all a set of their own, making this "Shepherd" instantly transformed. Armored Warrior became a tall and imposing man, his whole body covered in silver metal that seemed heavy but did not affect his movements at all. He only had his eyes staring at Angel in front of him through a horizontal opening on his helmet.
"It's 'Warrior' Pathway, be careful!"
"Nightmare" Henry shouted to remind his teammates that he and Dunn had just cooperated to activate their abilities, almost destroying Sequence 5's Ms. D Pulling Dream Invasion, but unfortunately failed, he still let the opponent react and switched the soul of Grazing. At this time, he was taking aim with the revolver, but he was unable to attack because of the blockage of Angel.
By the way, she switched souls again...
Angel's heart moved, and he gave up the dagger that was stuck on Silver White Armor, and took out "Bloodthirst" from the holster at his waist.
Since the abilities of various souls cannot take effect at the same time, it should be possible now...
"Shua——"
Before she could raise the gun, Greatsword, which was more than one and a half meters long and seemed to be condensed with golden light, formed in Ms. D's hands. She held the sword in one hand with ease, stepped forward with one leg, and swept the sword across, aiming directly at Angel's neck.
Angel lowered his upper body, raised his legs quickly, and left the ground in a jumping posture. He kicked Ms. D in the abdomen, which was covered in heavy armor. He quickly left the attack range of Greatsword's hands with the help of the reaction force.
She could even see the light sweeping past her, and feel the hot wind blowing across her face.
Even with Paper Figurine Substitute as a last resort, this dangerous sword made her break out in a cold sweat.
Swish——
The sweeping sword missed, Ms. D held the sword with both hands, strode forward a few steps after Angel, held up the radiant Greatsword, and was about to strike down with his sword.
"Bang, bang, bang--"
Dunn and others who were still standing scattered by the door opened fire one after another. Demon Hunter Bullet wiped out sparks on Silver White Armor, creating cracks. Dunn's gun was loaded with "Storm Convergence" provided by Angel. One shot hit the spider web-like crack that had been poked by the dagger. The blue light burst out and knocked off a whole piece of silver-white armor.
Angel also took the opportunity to roll back and continue to distance himself. Then he raised "Bloodthirst" high, aimed at the armor gap created by Dunn, and shot out with the bullet of Black Flame.
"Bang——"
The moment the bullet was fired, Ms. D held Greatsword with his hands wearing silver-white gauntlets, inserted vertically into the hall floor, blocking the Black Flame bullet. The light and black flames from the sword swallowed each other, annihilated, and became invisible.
At the same time, more golden light burst out like hurricane-like airflow, and light spots like the morning sun poured out, sweeping through the entire hall as the hurricane.
Without hesitation, Angel used Flaming Jump, leaving the ground and appearing next to the chandelier overhead.
When she grabbed the huge chandelier stand with one hand and cast her gaze downwards, she realized that the entire hall had been transformed by the hurricane created by Greatsword.
The expensive handmade carpet has been torn into several pieces and piled up in various corners, exposing the marble floor underneath, and these hard stones have also drawn spiderweb-like cracks centered on Armored Warrior.
Several Nighthawkss at the gate were also staggering in the strong wind, but their lives did not appear to be in danger for the time being.
The maker of the hurricane, Ms. D, who was wearing heavy armor, was not having a good time at this time. The range attack just like a bomb explosion also caused serious damage to her. The lower part of Silver White Armor had disappeared, revealing the torn hem of her robe, and her legs, which were originally white but now covered with bloodstains.
Seeing that the armor blocking the attack was damaged, Angel raised his pistol, aimed at the opponent's exposed legs, and fired all four remaining bullets in the bullet chamber. The Black Flame bullets roared towards the "Shepherd", hitting her unprotected legs one after another, bringing out a handful of blood flowers, and igniting a Black Flame.
"Bang——"
Another ball of golden flame also hit Silver White Armor. It was Lares who had stolen the ability of Flame Manipulation. Instead of using the longer-consuming "Spirit Channeling", he followed suit and condensed a blazing Flame Spear. He quickly threw it and hit the tattered Armored Warrior.
Different from Angel's expected appearance of rolling around on the ground after being dyed with flames, Ms. D removed the armor with different colors of flames attached to his body, looked up at Angel in the air, and his blue eyes were filled with blazing fighting spirit.
As the armor disappeared, the dagger stuck on the breastplate fell to the marble floor, making a crisp sound, accompanied by Ms. D re-emitting Order.
"Forbidden Here flame burning!"
Dark golden light flashed, and the Black Flame on her body and the gas burning in the chandelier were extinguished at the same time.
The hall fell into darkness again, and Ms. D, who extinguished the flames on his body, merged into the shadows quietly and disappeared from the hall.
She changed the soul of Grazing again... So now she only has the ability of "Prohibition" and the ability derived from her own Pathway...
Angel has discovered the weakness of "Shepherd" during the battle. Ms. D can only choose one soul of his own Grazing at the same time, and use the several abilities attached to this unlucky Beyonder soul. This makes the abilities that could cooperate with each other to achieve stronger effects separated from each other. It looks dazzling, but in fact it is not very lethal.
"Be careful, she is in the shadows now, everyone gather together and protect Lares!"
Angel was condescending and reminded his teammates on the ground to protect "Spirit Medium" who had no night vision ability.
She herself took the time to reload the "Bloodthirst" bullets, slowly landed on the ground under the influence of the "Feather Fall" ability, and searched for traces of Ms. D with her eyes adapted to the darkness again.
The moment the lights went out, she disappeared. She must have used Shadow Lurking's ability... Was she preparing for a sneak attack or escaping?
Angel landed with her feet on the ground, raised her gun and looked around cautiously. The position where she landed was exactly where "Armored Warrior" held Greatsword with the force of the hurricane. At this time, only the cracked marble floor and her steel dagger were left on the ground.
As soon as he bent down to pick up the dagger, Angel noticed a shadow on the ground that was different from the environment and quickly floated towards the door.
She was about to run away... No!
"Be careful, she's heading towards you!"
Angel shouted, "Bloodthirst" and fired continuously, pouring Spirituality into it, and shot out a stream of Black Flame bullets.
But the moment the bullet came out of the chamber, Black Flame was extinguished under the effect of the still-effective "Prohibition", leaving only the bullet with enhanced lethality, which hit the marble floor and stirred up pieces of gravel, but had no effect on the shadow hidden inside.
Dunn pressed his temples tightly, his eyes were sharp, and he sent out an invisible ripple, crossing the shadow on the ground.
Henry also clenched his fists, preparing to attack Ms. D who jumped out of the shadows.
"Clang——"
The door of the villa was pushed open from the outside.
