Skill 2

 And now! The next one is you, the one in red clothes! You can come at me at any time!

Xiaoli, who instantly defeated Kiba, took a stance towards Larp next.

Larp responded,

– … Alright. Let’s do it. Come, 《Death Stinger》.

He manifested his gauntlet Device endowed with long and thin needles on both hands again.

– Thanks!

At the same time, Xiaoli kicked the ground and closed the distance by going straight at him.

Regarding this charge, Larp――slammed against the ground with something that he grasped in his hand in advance.

– Humph.

– Aiyaa!?

At that moment, a white light burst in the night square.

Larp violently threw a flashbang against her.

It was an absolute weapon and not an ability or anything like that.

This type of weapon wasn’t really used in battles among Blazers (called psychicers in America and fighters in China). Basically, weapons such as firearms couldn’t be a threat to Blazer opponents.

However, flashbangs were different.

The magic power of a Blazer was the defense against physical impacts, but light was transparent.

Therefore, it was natural for her to be disoriented.

If she was disoriented, then it didn’t matter how terrible her ability was, she was just like a wooden figure!

(Having those two abilities should be impossible. What a mysterious opponent she is! I have to settle this immediately!)

Larp moved forward towards Xiaoli who faltered with the flash.

He smashed the distance directly and stuck out his Device, with its pointed end going towards Xiaoli’s heart.

-《Lethal Venom》!!

But, his opponent was the summit of『martial arts』and a《Sennin》from China.

*TN: Sennin either means immortal mountain wizard (Taoism) or one not bound by earthly desires.

The pointed end of《Death Stinger》stuck into Xiaoli’s breast, but at that very moment, the grasping of her life was imperfect.

– A surprise attack by means of a flashbang, yes? It surprised me nonetheless.

– We Americans are pragmatists. Our way of fighting doesn’t rely on psychic abilities only.

– Ho ho! But I don’t dislike that sort of bluntness!

There was no lie in the expression of Xiaoli who sweetly smiled saying so.

Generally, one would displease the fellow Blazers if one used this type of weapon when matched against one, but the girl in front of him enjoyed the knowledge, conflict and even the preparation from the bottom of her heart.

As expected of a fighter who became the semifinalist at the《God of War League》where surprise attacks and premeditated murder were allowed.

But,

– … I’ve been having fun so far, but I’m sorry, this fight has no future.

– Khu.

At that moment, the body of Xiaoli sprung up.

A physiological strong twitch. That was the agonizing death of life.
