Chapter Fifty-ninth: Heartbroken
The first spell enchanted Yoshiyuki's wooden sword with fire.
The second one strengthened his strength and physical strength.
The third and most important one - a protective spell was attached to his body.
That spell is connected to Erina's soul and life.
All damage suffered by Yi Xing will be greatly reduced.
The price is that Erina will bear the same amount of pain and injuries suffered by Yoshiyuki.
"Go, Yoshiyuki!" Erina finished casting the spell and exhaled: "I will support you from behind!"
"Uh...wait a minute, miss! Why are the protective spells different today?" Yoshiyuki was stunned for a moment, then quickly said: "If I feel right, this is the kind of spell that will hurt you at the same time? No,
Just change it back to normal!”
"Hmph, you just have to use whatever I want! I don't know how to change it. What if you, a useless servant, die?" Erina put her hands on her hips and shouted confidently.
"But my duty is to protect you, Miss! What if you get hurt by using this spell?"
"Then as the master, of course I have the obligation to protect my beloved maid! If you are gone, who will cook for me?"
"Ah...but I'm not a maid!!!"
"You just go home tonight." Erina showed a mysterious evil smile: "When you come back safely, the master will let you wear women's clothes, okay?"
"NO!" Yoshiyuki suddenly felt a little panicked: "Don't set up this non-existent FLAG, okay?! It's impossible for me to dress up as a woman!"
"So much nonsense! Come on!" Erina urged, pushing him and complaining: "If you don't want me to get hurt, just be more careful!"
There was no other way, so Yoshiyuki had no choice but to rush to the front line with a hint of emotion, brandishing his wooden sword, and chopped down the monsters one by one.
Erina followed closely behind, killing enemies with spells and summoned longbows from time to time.
Yoshiyuki's wooden sword didn't have an edge, but when he swung it hard, he could still cut off the demon's body.
What's more, Erina has attached a fire to it - it can't cause any damage to the wooden sword at all, but it can ignite any foreign objects that are touched.
Even water will be evaporated by the flames.
The speed of Yi Xing is extremely fast.
He continued to use his sword with great precision, slashing enemies at high speed with extremely fast speed and terrifying power, cutting off every weapon that tried to parry his attacks.
However, even though he can continuously launch attacks on several targets at an almost teleporting speed, he is always around Erina, killing approaching enemies for her, knocking down flying arrows and thrown weapons, completely
Don't stray too far from your master.
Yoshiyuki's range of activities is limited to within three meters of the eldest lady. As long as the enemy exceeds this distance, he will only attack with sword energy and will never pursue him one step further.
When deciding to move and advance the battle line, he would tell the eldest lady that after Erina was ready to move without casting spells, he would then move forward at a speed that she could keep up with.
Although this fighting style limits Yoshiyuki's performance to a certain extent and reduces the speed of killing enemies, it ensures Erina's safety to the greatest extent.
Her safety is what Yi Xing values most. Everything else is unimportant.
Even if the master is touched by a demon, it would be a serious dereliction of duty in Yoshiyuki's eyes and is unacceptable.
Since the eldest lady was too worried about his safety and used such a powerful protective spell, Yi Xing also paid special attention not to let himself get hurt.
As for Erina's combat strategy, she hides behind Yoshiyuki and casts spells to kill enemies in batches and create a safe combat environment for him.
The archers in the distance were all handled by Gunslinger Shimamura, so Erina focused on dealing with the threats around her and those enemies in the middle distance.
Since Erina knows many spells, she prefers to use non-lethal spells that are fast-casting and low-cost to assist Yoshiyuki in killing efficiently, compared to direct killing spells that tend to take longer to cast and consume more spiritual and mental energy.
demon.
For example, she can stun a large number of enemies with long-distance fixed-point blasts and control the scene instantly.
You can also use methods to force the enemy to move, disrupt their formation, or even push them towards Yoshiyuki.
It can also disarm the enemy's weapons and shields, making them unable to fight back when facing Yixing.
It can even make opponents go berserk and kill each other.
Many of the powers that the Underworld Witch can control come from the Kingdom of Underworld.
And this kind of magic is just like that.
Although Izanami is the ruler there, Huangquan was born earlier than Izanami.
Its power itself is neutral and does not distinguish between good and evil. Anyone with the ability can use it.
However, because the death aura of the underworld's power is too strong and unstable, and Pluto itself is full of hostility to the eternal world, the underworld's spells are quite dangerous and can easily backfire on the caster.
Even Erina must concentrate when using them and never dare to be distracted.
The berserk spell should be used with absolute caution on humans because the harmful effect is too strong.
Enemies who fall into a rage will greatly increase their combat effectiveness. After an ordinary person is exposed to this spell, he may kill several ordinary people with equal combat effectiveness with his bare hands. In the end, even if he is not killed, he will be responsible for the murder of many people.
crime.
Even if he is proven innocent in the end, this person will almost die in society. The possibility of mental collapse is also very high.
Yoshiyuki and Erina's cooperation is quite tacit.
Their one plus one is far greater than two.
It is quite a mental test to stay still and cast spells with peace of mind in front of so many enemies.
However, Erina was not afraid or wavered at all because she believed that Yoshiyuki could protect her well.
As long as he held the knife in front of her, Erina felt at ease.
This was a sense of security that no one else could give her.
As for Yi Xing, he is full of fighting spirit and motivation because he has a master to protect behind him.
His efficiency in killing enemies alone may have been reduced, and he could not let go of his hands and feet to kill at will like Wu Lili, but because he gave Erina a safe environment for casting spells, he fully displayed the power of the Underworld Miko.
Years of practice and service to the eldest lady have made Yi Xing deeply realize that only two people can exert the most powerful power when they are united.
Even if you want to stretch your arms and legs without restraint, you must maintain restraint and always put Erina's safety as your first priority.
For example, when an enemy escapes, even if there are no other enemies around, as long as Erina cannot keep up, he will never abandon the eldest lady and pursue it alone.
Otherwise, what can we do if this is to lure the tiger away from the mountain?
In Kendo and Kyudo, there is a concept called "Zanshin". Even if you kill the target with one blow, you must immediately restore your body balance and regain a balanced offensive and defensive posture to prevent the opponent from being completely dead and being able to fight for his life again.
