' I'm so dead 'was Loki's honest thought after witnessing the heavy killing intent Roxanne released. This girl may be sweet and all but he knew she was as ruthless as her mother when she was angry.
'I shouldn't have acted on my impulses ' Loki thought with regret, he wished he could go meet his past self and hit him in the face so he would not dare to release his divinity. After all, it was due to this that his brain forgot to aim his attack a bit further from Issei.
When he released his divinity he may have unconsciously been influenced by his instincts and wanted to destroy the insect that dared to challenge his authority as a God.
While Loki was regretting his actions Roxanne had already finished her taking out her weapon.
it was a golden spear with a ribbon-like design intertwining with each other at the end of the handle and below the blade. The tip of the lance was not a sharply pointed blade like on a knife, but a wide blade as if a double-edged sword had been forcibly attached. Its broad blade also had a design that looked somewhat like a branch with leaves on it.
Seeing the spear Rosswiseexclamied in surprise " That's Lord Odin's personal weapon Gungnir. How could she have that with her "
"Wait you mean that's Gungnir, that Gungnir that has been said to contain the power of Odin? " Issei said in surprise. Even someone like him who didn't know much about mythology heard of the tails about Gungnir. If he remembered correctly Roxanne did have a great interest in such weapons when they were young.
' Did she steal it from Odin? I did see Odin with a normal walking stick instead of a spear. ' Thought Issei.
While the kids were discussing this Loki was having a mental breakdown. Unlike those ignorant kids, he knew that the spear in Roxanne's hand wasn't the actual Gungnir. No, if she actually took out Gungnir then he wouldn't be this scared.
The spear in Roxanne's hand is an exact copy of Gungnir she made by herself. No, calling a copy is wrong as that thing is more advanced and stronger than Gungnir itself. During her visit to Asgard, she completely learned many things from the dwarves. And like the abnormal person she is, she made a complete set of weapons copying each legendary weapon that she found.
" Hey Loki try not to die very quickly, " Roxanne said as she took a stance and threw the spear aimed directly at Loki.
Loki felt the air solidify and his body was restrained by an imaginary binding. He knew this was the effect of the spear. ' shit how the hell did she add this restraining effect on that spear ' Loki thought tried using teleportation to escape this. Although there is a space lock with his divinity he brute forced his way out.
Although Gungnir can hit any target regardless of skill it didn't have such a restarining function. The most it could do is track the target until the attack lands or retreats under the orders of the caster.
' Maybe this one uses the concept differently ' Loki thought as he teleported away. If you are restrained then the spear will hit the target. As far as he knew no weapon can hold two concepts.
So he guessed that the concept that is enchanted to this spear is to hit the target that is being restained. While this may not necessarily be as strong as Gungnir's original concept of always hitting the target of the attacker regardless of the attacker's skill it is more practical.
" So you can dodge it like that huh, interesting " Roxanne muttered as she called back her spear. She didn't think it would be possible for anyone to use teleportation when the whole space was locked.
"But this makes things more interesting, " Roxanne said as she dashed towards Loki. previously she just wanted to make him run around by throwing Gungnir but now she is going to beat him up personally. Wait that went wrong. She just wanted to test her weapon against a God and see if it was any worse than the real Gungnir.
Seeing her running towards him Loki almost had a heart attack. Although it looked like he effortlessly evaded the spear by teleporting the truth is that he had to spend a lot of energy to break through the space lock.
And he could also tell that the nearer he is to the spear the stronger the space lock is. And with Roxanne rushing towards him wouldn't that mean that restrictions would be at their peak?
Forget the energy consumption he didn't believe he could fight with Roxanne with the restriction holding him even if it was barely affecting him.
'I shouldn't let her get close to me ' Loki decided. Until that damn hammer comes he should never let Roxanne near him. Although he knew his life would be spared but the pain he would be experiencing is not something he is looking forward to.
And so Loki decided to go all out. With Roxanne here he didn't need to worry about hurting bystanders. And frankly, he doesn't have the luxury to care about that. He would do whatever is necessary to buy enough time.
With such resolve, Loki blasted magic after magic at Roxanne. Each attack is stronger than the last. He held nothing back. He even activated his Ice Giant bloodline so Roxanne would have to face an Ice field the near she came to him.
However this much didn't face her as she used her spear and martial arts to destroy or negate each magic attack with such precision that it almost looked like she was dancing.
Although this spear doesn't have the same properties as the twin swords she used she could still use the same trick by disrupting the flow of magic in the attack or completely devouring the magic with Azathoth.
Although Roxanne did her best she couldn't contain all of the attacks. So most of them began to ground and cause explosions one after another. This made the others put whatever they were doing and focus on being hit by a stray magic attack.
Seeing the situation Roxanne knew she had to do something. Issei and the rest are barely surviving this barrage of magic attacks. It wouldn't be long before one of them gets seriously hurt.
And Roxanne couldn't have that. So she decided to ask for help, ' Ciel a little help. I need a way to catch Loki without revealing too much of my skills. '
' Calculating …. A method was found. Master, why don't you use that spear while using Enkidu and bind Loki so he cannot use his divinity anymore? According to my calculations, Odin would be here in 3 minutes giving enough time for mistress to have her revenge. ' Ciel replied.
' but wouldn't that make revealing too many of my cards ' Roxanne asked. Enkidu was said to be a lost weapon after all.
