"Hey, come at me again, whether it's with a sword or a strike, it doesn't matter. If you just keep dodging, you won't be able to defeat me."
Just as Shixue had said, no matter what kind of attack was made against him in his unarmed state, it only appeared to be effective but was actually useless. Even if a weapon was used, there was no apparent advantage. Even Hiyori's continuous use of her ultimate moves did not bring about any change.
If it were an ordinary person, they would have probably died several times already, but it was all futile. Shixue managed to withstand each and every attack, even though he couldn't guarantee being unharmed, he minimized the damage as much as possible.
Although Shixue still couldn't land a hit on Hiyori, she also couldn't find a way to defeat him. In this state, it would become a battle of stamina. If it continued like this...
"What's the matter? Come at me already."
Saying that, Shixue once again took out a piece of paper, rolled it into a rod shape, infused it with Kinesis, and threw it at Hiyori. Hiyori immediately dodged to the side, but the attack wasn't over.
"If you won't attack, then I won't be polite."
Shixue continued throwing concealed weapons, and helplessly, Hiyori could only continue evading.
The missed concealed weapons were hitting boxes and walls one after another, but they didn't stop. The concealed weapons that hit the boxes went straight through them, while those that hit the walls were deeply embedded. If they directly hit a person, it would probably leave behind bloody holes.
The penetrating power of these things was stronger than regular bullets.
Although it seemed like Hiyori had the upper hand at the moment, it didn't have much chance of winning when it came to stamina. After all, Hiyori's constant dodging consumed a significant amount of stamina, and she couldn't recklessly use her magical energy. She had to make sure she could defeat her opponent; otherwise, it would be a waste.
On the other hand, Shixue had the advantage when it came to stamina, and he was fully utilizing it now. In this state, the situation was not looking good. If she didn't have a concrete way to inflict damage on him, she would lose.
Having made that judgment, Hiyori stopped at a certain spot.
"Huh? Not planning to run away? That's even better. Come on, use whatever tricks you've got."
Although it was dangerous, this was the only method left now.
Thinking like this, Hiyori calmly grasped her longsword with her right hand, while her free left hand reached behind, untying the white ribbon that had been binding her hair. Her unrestrained long hair fluttered in the wind.
"Oh, is it some kind of seal? Looks like you're getting serious. Alright, good, no need to hold back, use whatever tricks you have."
Shixue's expression became excited as he saw this.
Hiyori put the untied ribbon into her clothes, and at the same time, took out a piece of paper.
"Jujutsu Paper."
Shixue muttered impatiently when he saw it.
"This thing is useless against me."
"..."
However, Hiyori ignored him and silently wrapped the Jujutsu Paper around the hilt of her longsword, then held the longsword horizontally with both hands.
As a result, except for the hilt, the entire body of the longsword burst into flames.
"Is it Jujutsu Paper of fire? Using fire to deal with iron is a good idea, but it seems like the power isn't enough."
As Bloody said, although iron conducts heat, ordinary fire is useless. Moreover, the fire produced by Jujutsu Paper only covers a thin layer on the blade, and the height of the flame is only one to two centimeters, which is far from powerful enough.
But Hiyori didn't stop and continued with her previous action, gripping the long sword horizontally in both hands and rushing forward swiftly.
"I told you it's useless."
As Bloody spoke, he threw out another hidden weapon, but Hiyori continued to advance and dodge at the same time until she approached the attack range.
Hiyori infused magic power into the long sword in one breath.
Because this move consumes a lot of magic power, using it once is already the limit and it will also severely drain her physical strength. If she fails to defeat the enemy, she will be at a disadvantage.
Therefore, she usually doesn't use this move, but now she has no choice. Hiyori made this judgment and then...
"Kanekiri Ka'i, Guren Gouka."
At the same time, the tiny flame on the blade suddenly erupted and grew explosively, with the fierce flames soaring upwards. It was almost like holding a torch.
No, the flames were even more fierce. The blade was covered with layers of flames, becoming a gigantic fire sword, and the dazzling fire illuminated the entire dark basement.
"What?"
Amidst the astonishment.
The enormous fire sword viciously smashed into Bloody's abdomen with an unimaginable speed that couldn't be seen with the naked eye.
The blinding light from the fire obscured Bloody's vision and the entire space seemed to be burning. In an instant, the surroundings turned into a sea of fire.
The next moment, the flames exploded.
