The huge battlefield in front of the city had been completely separated. Both the imperial army and the rebels were temporarily suppressed. Neither side dared to enter the field easily. The rebels and the imperial army who retreated too slowly were directly turned into ice pillars by Esdeath's indiscriminate ability and then shattered into pieces by the flying stones Lancer hit. The floating ice mist in the battlefield now was the 'remains' of these unlucky people.
"Not enough! Not enough!! Still not enough!!! Lancer! Is your attack so weak!!"
Along with Esdeath's wild laughter, the gauntlets and sabatons made of solid ice constantly collided with the cavalry spear in Lancer hand. The ice powder that splashed after the collision was then controlled by Esdeath to attack Lancer again. At this time, he was already starting to feel his limbs gradually becoming numb.
During this time, it wasn't that he hadn't thought of drinking a 'hot drink', but in the chaotic fight, he couldn't even take it out.
This was the difference between a human and a 'dragon', and this forced Lancer to find another way.
Night Phantom [Alucard]!!
As the Imperial Armament was activated, the blood in Lancer body began to drain. His face also looked a bit pale in the reflection of the frost, but then blood began to flow back from his shoulders...
That's right, the seemingly simple 'blood drawing' and 'blood transfusion' abilities of 'Night Phantom [Alucard]' were not meaningless. Lancer had once tested that in a poisoned state, by drawing out the blood and then transfusing it, the poison in his body would gradually be diluted and finally disappear completely.
At this time, the cold blood was drawn out, and normal blood was then transfused into his body. At least the disadvantage on the battlefield was reduced, but even so, he was still in a suppressed state. In terms of strength, he was not inferior to the other party with those fists made of frost, but the weapon...
He had already heard the wailing of his weapon at this time, and the other party's weapon could be repaired at any time. If this stalemate continued, he would definitely lose.
But at this moment, Esdeath suddenly swung her arm, and Lancer easily dodged it, while also feeling a bit confused — did Esdeath make a mistake?
"Ahhh!!"
And at this moment, a wail came from behind, and then a huge ice spike appeared on the front line of the imperial army. Inside the ice spike were a few imperial army soldiers. At this time, they were still maintaining the expression of fear and disbelief they had before being frozen.
"Esdeath!!!"
"That's right!! That's the expression!! Get angry! Get more angry!! And fight me with all your might!!"
"You... you crazy person!!"
"Heh, so what?"
Along with Esdeath's mocking voice, Lancer noticed something was wrong. Several 'marks' were constantly climbing up from Esdeath's neck.
"Bang!!"
"Where are you looking? You dare to be distracted during a fight with me?"
Something was wrong! Esdeath was very wrong at this time!
Although she couldn't completely freeze time like in the 'original plot', the freezing ability she showed seemed to be stronger. You have to know that Esdeath in that period was in her prime, and what about now? Her body hadn't even fully developed yet. At this time, she might not be able to bear the full power of the 'Imperial Armament'. If she really drank all of the Imperial Armament like before...
Originally, when Lancer said the other party was 'crazy', it was more of a subjective thought, but now it seemed that it was not just her subjective thought.
But unfortunately, even knowing this was meaningless, because he still had to defeat the other party.
'Weapon Overload!'
At first, Lancer had to use 'self-hypnosis' through shouting to use his skills more smoothly, but now he no longer needed to. When he silently chanted it, the bone spear in his hand seemed to come alive, and then he raised his hands and made a throwing motion.
"Whoosh~!!"
The bone spear itself had many uneven places, and the sound it made at a high speed was like a demon's roar, but Esdeath slammed the ground fiercely, and a huge ice wall blocked her in front. The ice wall, which was more than one meter thick, seemed incredibly fragile under Lancer attack. After only weakening a part of the kinetic energy, it completely broke into two pieces, and Esdeath's hands, which were wrapped in ice and snow, grabbed the spear flying towards her and then ——————
"Bang~!!"
Because the weapon overload had almost overdrawn all of its durability, the spear in Esdeath's hand directly turned into bone powder, but this was enough for Lancer, because two spears were flying from a distance and landed directly next to Lancer.
"Crack~" X 2
Along with two crisp sounds, two more gaps appeared on the ice surface under Lancer feet.
He grabbed the hilt of each spear with both hands and swung them fiercely ——————
"Whoosh~!"
Along with the sound of the air being sliced, Lancer took up his stance again.
"Let's start! Round two!"
"Round two? Heh heh~ It doesn't matter, but you really are hiding something. Let me slowly peel you open and see what you're hiding!"
'Weapon Overload!'
It was the same move, but there were also differences.
The flame aura that appeared on the 'Gatling Spear' suddenly took on a layer of blood red, and if that wasn't obvious enough, then the blood-red halo that appeared from nothing on the 'Knight Spear' that originally reflected a metallic luster showed its change.
'Blood Qi'
Lancer still didn't understand what it was, but he knew that it was a kind of energy that would automatically increase every time he was injured or fought with an enemy.
Whether it was simply attached or used in a 'skill', it would greatly enhance their attributes, and at the same time, as the blood qi was used, it would also feed back to his body.
The cavalry spear itself was a heavy weapon, and dual-wielding made the movements even wilder, but Lancer also had his own way of dealing with it. He could use the cavalry spear to block a part of the frontal attacks, and as for some that were not too heavy, he would just let them hit. The cape protected his back.
In just a short charging distance, Lancer body was cut with several wounds by the ice spikes, and then ——————
"Bang!!"
The spear in his left hand fell fiercely, and Esdeath crossed her arms in front of her to block. With one hit, the spear, which was strengthened by fire, directly melted a part of her ice armor, and the second one directly poked through. This time, the target was undoubtedly Esdeath's heart!
But how could the other party be dealt with so easily? The ice layer under her feet suddenly rose.
"Bang!!"
The ice pillar, which was a person's height, instantly turned into fragments, and Esdeath, who had jumped into mid-air, put her hands together, and the scattered ice flowers gathered in her hands again to form a giant ice sword that she slashed down fiercely!
"Crack~!"
Lancer, who only had time to raise his right hand, knelt on one knee, and the spear in his right hand blocked this blow with great difficulty. There was no doubt that the battle between the two would not end in a short time...
