“…”
?
In the middle of the competition venue, Mikoto Misaka was still standing motionless.
So far, except for occasionally changing and turning around and scanning around, she did nothing, and she had no intention of leaving the center of the venue.
However, what those audiences who were holding their breath and her opponents didn't know was that she was now using her own control of lightning to release powerful voltage and current on the ground of the surrounding arena centered on herself.
That's right!
Now Misaka Mikoto uses the principle of step voltage when the high-voltage line lands to prevent, detect and even counterattack the enemy!
As we all know, when an electric conductor with tens of millions of volts of overhead high-voltage lines breaks down and falls to the ground, in addition to the same potential as the electric potential of the live conductor, the current will also flow from the landing point of the wire to the surrounding ground. Therefore, a potential distribution area centered on the landing point will be formed on the ground. In that area, the further away from the landing point, the more dispersed the current, and the lower the ground potential difference (voltage) will be used.
However, if a person or livestock stands within eight to ten meters from the landing point of the wire, a life-threatening electric shock accident may occur, and within twenty or thirty meters, it will still be electrocuted. This electric shock is called step-by-step voltage electric shock!
In this voltage and electric field, as long as someone approaches and enters, no matter whether he is invisible or not, the other party will be affected by the step voltage, and the current will also form a path of electric potential difference along the person's lower body, from the feet through the legs, the hips, and the feet to the ground.
In this way, even if the enemy has a high resistance, the feet will not cramp due to the higher step voltage, and even the other party will not fall to the ground due to physical paralysis and appear. However, as long as the other party enters his own voltage and electric field, Mikoto will be able to get early warning and defend in advance, and even counterattack!
If possible, Mikoto even wants to use powerful lightning to spread the entire arena, and then use step voltage to electrocute the enemy?
However, that idea was still too stupid, and her own abilities seemed difficult to achieve.
After all, when the step voltage field, that is, the charged body is grounded and a strong current enters the ground, diffuses around the ground at the same time, and a considerable electric field is generated on the ground around the ground point, the intensity of the electric field decreases with the increase of distance. Most of the voltage only acts within a range of about one meter from the ground point, and a small part of the voltage is distributed within a range of twenty meters from the ground point. Twenty meters away from the ground point, there is basically no threat to the ground voltage.
Now, since the ground of the arena is relatively dry and it is full of rocky floors, even though Mikoto herself maintains a voltage of nearly one million volts on her body, she can only barely guarantee that there is a stepping voltage electric field at about 30 meters of ground. As for the distance, it is almost gone.
but……
Thirty meters is enough for her. As long as the enemy appears within thirty meters and approaches her, she can instantly sense it through the slight changes in the current and electric field. At that time, the enemy's stealth method will be destroyed without attacking!
“…”
But unfortunately, so far, Mikoto, who is still lingering in her high-voltage electric snake, has not sensed any changes in the surrounding current.
Obviously, the enemy did not approach her rashly.
However, I don’t know if the other party knew the principle of step voltage, had learned relevant "magic" knowledge, or had instinctively sensed danger, so I didn’t get close to it?
But no matter which one it is, it is very unfavorable for Mikoto.
After all, it is impossible for her to maintain this high voltage situation and use a million volt high voltage to maintain the step voltage electric field and wait for the other party to take the bait. Even if she is a superpower of ‘Level 5’, even if she is one of the best in the school city, her lightning ability is not infinite, and she also has fatal weaknesses!
And that weakness is: Although her battery is very strong, it is also limited!
It's like the battery will run out of power after being used for a long time. The electric four-wheeler, which claims to be a 500-mile battery, will fall into a trap after driving for 300 miles in a row. If she continues to use her ability, it will cause a bad abnormal state of being unable to use it in full, which is the "unabled" state that Mikoto Misaka once said. At that time, the hidden enemy will no longer have to sneak around, and will just come up and chop her head casually?
Then...
I guess that guy Heizi will definitely cry sadly in the war preparation room while rolling on the ground with excitement?
However, even though he knew his fatal weakness, Mikoto was still trying hard to maintain that electric field and still allowed millions of volts of electricity to continue to support under his feet, in order to maintain the step voltage electric field of about 30 meters.
She is now betting that her "electricity" battery life will last longer than the other party's sneaking time!
Because she had already asked Anne last night, she knew that the stalker named Valella Sangunare could not sneak without limit and indefinitely, otherwise the other party's body would be invaded by shadow energy, which was irreversible, and the other party would never dare to do that, just like Mikoto herself could not maintain the step voltage electric field under her feet without limit!
“…”
Where is it?
Mikoto was thinking and alert in her heart.
While she was trying to maintain the stepping voltage and electric field under her feet, she did not forget to carefully observe everything around her, and at the same time used her electromagnetic wave ability to actively search for the fan-shaped areas around her centered points to the edge of the competition field.
She has the ability to master space through electromagnetic waves and can actively or passively emit weak electromagnetic waves to the surroundings. As long as she has the heart, she can perceive the existence of the enemy by perceiving the subtle changes in the reflected waves around her, and can play a role similar to that of radar.
but……
What made Mikoto a little frustrated was that she had not gained anything so far.
She had no idea what the stalker was like who had escaped into the shadow, nor did she know whether the other party was lying on the ground or sticking to the edge of the arena, or that she would not reflect electromagnetic waves when sneaking?
Anyway!
She had been slowly turning on the spot for several times, and her weak electromagnetic wave scan without dead corners was still unable to find any trace of the enemy on the field, which made her very upset and bored.
But it’s useless to be upset!
Now is the time to compete for endurance, patience and will. She cannot act rashly just because the other party hides well and does not show up. Otherwise, she will probably lose later.
“…”
Therefore, lightning was still spreading on her body. While maintaining the stepping voltage and electric field with millions of volts and a good current, she also did not forget to search the surroundings with electromagnetic waves and eyes, ensuring that she was guarding without blind spots at the visible and invisible levels, as well as on the sky and the ground.
This will be a silent and invisible battlefield. The most test is human patience and endurance. Mikoto has made up her mind that she must grit her teeth and waste time with the other party and see who can laugh to the end?
...
At this time, on another battlefield, the battle was over. Ilia, who could fight the enemy with great enthusiasm at the beginning, was now forced by Wenleza and was about to lose.
Because Ilia is just a little girl, her physical strength, endurance and magic are definitely not as good as the Ranger General of Quel's Thalas.
“!!”
Almost at the same time, Joan of Arc, who was entangled with the difficult soul beasts not far away, also discovered Ilia's abnormality.
"no!"
"You can't continue like this!"
"Liya!"
"And Xiaosha!"
"I'm going to use the treasure. You guys go together and kill her in the shortest time!!"
"Please give you my word!"
Seeing that the physical strength and magic power on Ilia began to drop sharply, and seeing that the three of them were about to be unable to maintain their summoning state, Joan of Arc finally became anxious.
"Drink~!"
Valley Wedge
Then, after shouting at Artoria and Medusa, she stood still resolutely, ignored the two soul beasts that rushed up in front, and directly inserted the holy golden-edged irises flag gun in her hand into the rock floor of the arena.
It is the treasure turned into a holy flag that Joan of Arc waved during his lifetime. Through the blessing of the angel, he protects friendly units within a distance centered on this flag. He can directly transform the extra-spec (EX) magic power into physical defense and block any attack from the opponent, which means "invincible".
However, during the period when the Holy Flag is raised and the treasure is fully activated, Joan of Arc will not be able to conduct all attacks, and the flag itself will continue to accumulate enemy attacks and cause irreversible damage to the flag. Therefore, abuse may lead to the inability to use it again or even completely losing it.
However, now seeing Ilia is about to lose. Although Artoria and Medusa have treasures, they have no way to use them and have no chance to use them, and they cannot immediately arrive at Ilia's side, so Joan of Arc had to sacrifice his life.
The only thing that makes her a little thankful now is that although this arena is large, it is still within the scope of her treasure?
"amnesty!"
"My Lord is here!"
Joan of Arc shouted angrily and directly let go of all suppression of the treasure.
The next moment!
A golden light instantly swept across the arena with a more violent power than when he fought against the powerful orc.
And immediately afterwards!
Artoria, Medusa, Ilia, who had already shown signs of decline in the distance and Joan of Arc, who was planting the flag, were all given an "invincible" state by the sacred golden-edged irises, making a faint golden light flash in the whole body.
“!!”
At this moment, an arcane shooting quietly came to Ilia's eyes with a fierce offensive, and she had no time to defend, evade or cast spells and flash.
?
Whoosh~!
clang!!
But, what is surprising is that the faint golden light, which looked so thin that it almost collapsed, firmly blocked the long arrow wrapped in arcane energy, and bounced it away the arrow at the moment it smashed and made a crisp impact.
"What!?"
"This is impossible!"
In the distance, Wen Leisa, who originally thought she was sure to win, couldn't help but exclaim after the sure-win shot was gone.
However……
Her exclamation soon came to an abrupt end, and she had to turn around in a mess and avoid it urgently.
Because, she saw that after obtaining the golden light, the female knight in the distance and the strange little girl holding a sickle ignored the soul beasts that were grabbing and biting them, and took advantage of the opportunity to ignore the harm to get rid of them, and then quickly surrounded her left and right?
“!!”
"hateful!!"
Multiple shots!!
So, Wen Leisa, who did not want to be forced into a desperate situation by the two, did not think about it, and made a quick decision, grabbed three arrows from the quiver behind her and shot a multiple arrow at the two of them. She also took the opportunity to set up a small freezing trap on the way between the two of them, hoping to get enough time to move and breathe.
It's a pity...
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
Three crisp sounds!
The multiple shots did not achieve any results, but they shot on the two of them in vain and were easily bounced away by the layer of golden light.
?
Then, the freezing trap exploded.
However, it could only cover a layer of white frost on the ground, and it could not instantly freeze the feet of the two people protected by the strange golden light like usual.
“!!”
Oops, oh no...
Immediately afterwards, Wen Leisa, who was forced to the guardrail of the arena, had no time to draw the bow again and had no room for maneuver, could only subconsciously raise her hand and use the bow of her left hand to block the sickle of the strange little girl on her left, while not forgetting to pull out the high elf short sword at her waist with her right hand, and gritted her teeth to block the long sword of the female knight who was holding the golden light and was already showing a sword-shaped appearance.
"Slaying the Immortal Blade!!"
puff!!
With a delicate shout, then there was a crisp sound after the wooden bow was cut off by a sickle.
"cut!!"
Click!!
At the same time, the female knight holding a long sword also slashed down, and the short sword that Wen Leisa hastily pulled out was instantly cut off by the golden long sword.
"Well……"
The severe pain came, and Wenleza's eyes widened in an instant.
“!!”
"Artolia!"
"I'm going to knock her down first!"
"besides!"
"Joan of Arc!"
"I just wanted to let Invincible, who made you troublesome?"
Before his eyes were blood red. Before he fell down on his back and saw his soul beasts gradually disappear, Wen Leisa vaguely heard the strange girl standing in front of him and pulling a sickle from her and saying so arrogantly.
And then...
When her eyes darkened, she knew nothing.
