The Death Knell

Swords and swords flashed, fists and feet clashed.

Diana and Kara covered each other and launched a series of attacks on the weird skeletons. Suddenly, sparks flew and roared in the dark factory.

Supergirl is faster, but the limited space in the factory limits her advantage, and her cousin is still at the feet of the skeleton, which also prevents her from using her full strength.

Wonder Woman felt even more uncomfortable. She felt that she was far inferior to the skeleton in terms of strength and force.

The Vulcan Sword is very sharp. The God of Vulcan who forged it has said that the blade can cut at the atomic level. As long as it can cut anything, the atoms hit can be snapped in half. This is the magic weapon. strength.

Diana was very happy at that time. What real warrior doesn't want to have a magic weapon?

But after leaving Paradise Island and later joining the Justice League, she discovered that Vulcan only said half of what he said back then, and she probably didn't hear the last half, that is - something that can't be cut, then it's true Can't cut.

It can't cut through Darkseid's armor, it can't cut through Brainiac's spaceship, it can't cut through all kinds of magic knots, it can't even cut through Superman's skin.

And many of the objects that can really be cut down have the ability to heal themselves, but they still can't solve the problem.

However, after using the Vulcan Sword for so many years, she has become comfortable with it. As a warrior, if she gives up her usual weapon, it will have a greater impact on her strength.

Anyway, the upper limit of God's Metal is here, so she can just make do with it. Her fighting method has also changed to using her sword to clear out the soldiers. When she really encounters the BOSS, she will use fists or lasso, depending on Zheng Lian's tactics. arranged.

But she encountered another situation today, that is, the weapon could not hit the enemy.

Originally, the first attack missed, and the sword blade grazed the gap between the ribs. She thought it was due to her habit of killing animals, which was to avoid the bones and directly destroy the internal organs. This was the method of using a sword. Everyone has to learn.

So she changed her tactics and stared at the pale bones to chop, but found that she still couldn't hit the enemy effectively.

The skeleton seemed to be dancing. He turned sideways, stood on tiptoes, twisted, and spun. No matter whether Diana stabbed or slashed, everything came to nothing. With more than a dozen sword strikes, in addition to turning the tuxedo into a beggar's hole-in-the-wall outfit. Apart from that, there was no other effect, and it didn't even scratch the edge of the bone. It was not as good as the result of the first sneak attack with the sword.

If it were anyone else who was doing this, she would definitely retreat temporarily and think of other tactics, but once Diana enters a fighting state, she will attack. The more she misses the opponent, the more energetic she will be, and she will not give up until she hits him once.

So the fight between the two women didn't involve any coordination. Kara was restrained by the Milkman Superman lying on the ground, and now she had to avoid Diana who was 'dancing' with the skeleton.

In particular, although Skeleton was on the defensive side, his cold counterattacks were really accurate, hitting the flaws exposed by the two of them every time, which frightened Kara even more.

Although in order not to kill the innocent puppet-like workers in the factory, she cannot use her true full speed, but she can still achieve it by approaching the speed of light under the influence of the biological force field. The skeleton seems to be dealing with Diana while also She can predict her own movements. No matter how she flies, there will always be a lasso or fist appearing in the flight path, making it look like she bumped into it on her own initiative.

After a few rounds, she just felt tired and a little aggrieved. Her round face was no longer round. Instead, she would grimace and suck in cold air from time to time, as if she had turned into a mask of pain.

"Hoo, ho, ho..."

Diana, who was knocked away, rubbed her arms. Even through the shield, she felt that the left half of her body was numb. This was because the skeleton stood still and didn't move at all.

Now she somewhat believed Harley's statement. This skeleton might really be Batman, but she felt that Harley might only be half right. Is this the Laughing Bat? Batman in other parallel worlds are not so capable.

Thinking of this, she carefully observed this weird skeleton in the dark. There were a lot of spider webs wrapped around the other person's body, and the whole person looked like it crawled out of dust.

At this time, the skeleton was jumping rope with the lasso he had snatched. It was obvious that he didn't pay attention to the two women at all. He jumped on one foot, switched feet, and swayed with both hands. If it wasn't a matter of stance, Diana would think that this guy's rope skipping was really bad. good.

But now she only saw the crazy shadow of the clown, so her guess about her laughing bat was more certain.

Well, that's all she had in her thinking process. She was not a particularly good at thinking person. As a warrior, of course she still had to take action. She gave a sweet shout and raised her sword to charge again.

"Ding ding!"

At this time, the machine behind the skeleton made a crisp alarm sound. It was obvious that the previously set running time had come. The machine automatically opened the lid, and a pungent chemical smell filled the air. The drug made by the skeleton seemed to be a great success. .

The production process of traditional medicine based on animals, plants or minerals is very complicated, but the chemical medicines of modern medicine are much simpler. Throw all the chemical raw materials and excipients into the machine, and then let the chemical reactions and technological equipment do their work. good.

Facing Diana's slashing sword, the skeleton even had time to turn his head and glance at the pot behind him. Then the whole ghost's aura changed, and he was obviously serious.

The lasso in his hand was thrown towards Wonder Woman, accurately binding the woman in the air, just as he had used the lasso countless times in the past.

Lasso binding is Diana's weakness. Many people have told her many times, but she still likes to hang the noose on her belt.

As soon as she was tied up, she became weak and the Vulcan sword fell to the ground with a clang.

Seeing that Diana was in trouble, Kara quickly wanted to attack the skeleton to force him to let go, but it seemed that her behavior fell into the skeleton's prediction. When she flew towards Diana to rescue her, she was met head-on. What came was a stream of green smoke blowing from the side.

"Krypton...ugh!"

Kara, whose face turned blue and had difficulty breathing, threw herself onto the street instantly, even worse than Diana who was tied up.

At this time, the skeleton with green smoke still coming out of his mouth slowly shook his head. He was probably very disappointed with the performance of the two women. Then he turned to face his cauldron and dug in with his fingers of bone claws. , pick up some white powder and stuff it into your mouth.

I don't know if he can really taste it. Anyway, I can only see the skeleton nodding under the moonlight, seeming very satisfied.

Then he grabbed the black cloth bag on the ground, picked up the equipment and dumped it. While filling the bag, he did not forget to stretch his legs behind him and stepped on the Milkman Superman on the floor.

Picking up the bag full of medicine powder, the skeleton slowly turned around and saw Harley crawling on the ground, dragging one of Superman's legs, obviously planning to drag the person away secretly.

Seeing the skeleton looking at her, Harley forced an awkward smile, backed up and tried to crawl back out the door:

"I just want to see that he has no intention of stealing your man. Can you please stop hitting me?"

The skeleton replaced his answer with action, after all, he couldn't speak.

He suddenly raised his hand and scared Harley to roll and dodge, but he took the opportunity to grab Superman on the ground and put it on his shoulders. Then he flew through the glass of the factory and ran away in the blink of an eye, like a black shadow. Like disappearing into the night.
