Chapter 25: The Hero's Dead
The battle has begun.
More than ten puppet planes appeared in the forest, and they marched towards the hotel in a formation of four puppet machines and one type four.
On the rooftop of the hotel, Xia Mar was only second to Elisa, who was hiding in the dense forest, when she noticed the appearance of the enemy, and her quick report caused the remaining four members of the Wind Cloud Knights to immediately go to the front line.
As the vanguard of the newcomers, the four stayed in the middle to fight the leaky fish, but in fact, the battle lasted for three minutes, and the four of them did not witness the arrival of any puppet aircraft.
"Vice-Captains, they're reallyβ"
"Don't be careless. β
When Pleiades wanted to express once again how strong she was about her vice-captain, Deanna seemed to stare at the front line nervously. From the side of her face, she knew that the current Deanna could be said to have all the nerves in her body tightened, as if she were a candidate about to enter the examination room.
No, perhaps that is not a good description, she is more like a batter who has been thrown two good shots, as if she were preoccupied with the words that if she misses the next ball, her life will be over. It's a gambler-like battle.
It's just that apart from Pleiades, the two younger team members didn't notice her urgency. And the Pleiades only felt that Deanna was a little nervous, and the reliable Pleiades who knew Deanna well didn't think about what this friend was thinking in his heart.
[It must be proved that mortals also have mortal ways of living.] γ
This is what this girl with a small inferiority complex is thinking about, and it is also the sad thought of being killed by the surrounding environment.
Then her chance to show up came.
"Ladies of the vanguard, the actions of the enemy have changed. They may break through the defenses, please raise your vigilance. β
"Understood. β
At this moment, Deanna was not thinking about protecting the hotel behind her, nor was she going to complete the task entrusted to her, and the only thing that occupied her mind was to express her desires.
β
"Both, I hope you can help me a little. β
"I refuse, we agreed not to assist in matters that are not related to the Holy Relics. β
On a small hill in a remote forest, a middle-aged man, in the form of a dust servant, replied to the man in front of him who was wearing a big white pendant and showing a wicked smile in the communication window.
If the people of the Six Branches saw this scene, they would definitely be shocked. Because the results of their investigation not long ago and the news they received from the church had this man's face, Scully Eddie, who was thought to be the mastermind of many events, and the master behind the fighter man and the puppet mechanics were probably involved in the production.
However, the person who spoke to this Yin Cali Eddie was Jester, who had a little bit of a connection with the rain, the enemy who was supposed to play the final of the Wizard's Unrestricted Omnibus with the Rain, and a life he had failed to save from the fighter many years ago.
That's right, according to the Authority's data, he's already a dead man.
"So, will you help me with this favor?"
Scully Eddie saw Jester's unhesitant refusal, and slyly turned to her beside Jester. It's just a child's Lu Xian.
"Hmm. β
Lu Xian nodded softly.
"What a good boy, next time I'll treat you to delicious dim sum and red tea. β
Scully Eddie didn't say much after the win, and only reported a reward to end the communication.
"Is that okay?"
Jest didn't stop Lu Xi's actions, he just asked her, feeling like a close uncle asking his nephew if it was okay if he didn't eat lunch.
"Well, though Jester and Akitt hate Dr. Jack, I don't hate that much. β
As if she wasn't talking about something serious, she took off her coat and raised her hand to reveal the magic weapon "Moon Serpent" on the back of her hand.
"Please hear my wishesβ"
Beneath her feet unfolded a Belka-style magic array.
"Linglong's monsters, flying monsters, respond to my cries, obey my commandsβ"
Three translucent soft pillars emerged from the Belka-like magic array, and when the pillars seemed to be blown by the wind, they could be seen from their translucent appearance, with many different purple dots in them.
"Summons, Misty Insect. β
The pillar then exploded as if it had been impaled by a blister, and many flying insects like needles flew inside, and their targets were puppet soldiers fighting in the distance.
Soon the flying insects pierced through the dense forest and struck the puppet soldiers one by one, and the puppet soldiers in the attack suddenly changed to no longer act as if they were a pure action controlled by artificial knowledge, but flexibly dodged the attacks of Signo, Vita, and Zafira, who were originally building a defensive line.
At this moment, the counterattack began.
β
"Well, I'm afraid Naye didn't expect that. β
Rain, who hides not far from Jack and Lou Rossie, watches the departure of the misty flyers, and after learning about the front line through contact with Elissa, she can't help but worry about Naha.
But even so, he didn't go out to stop it.
That's because for him, the focus of this time is always to catch the other party's tail, and knowing the other party's big camp is not as beneficial as letting the other party succeed. Moreover, he believed that the members of the Sixth Division of Mobility would not be injured in front of an enemy of this magnitude even if they were not strong.
"What about the rain, can their position be inferred?"
"It's hard to say, although I heard the content of the conversation, but I still don't know how deep the cooperation is. And the main purpose is to get a head of water, why don't we catch the two of them? By the way, we can slam things and make them think that our attention is here. β
"Let's wait until the other party gets their hands on it, if it happens too early, it may cause them to give up directly. After all, whoever is against us, it seems that running away will always be the first option, with the exception of fools and ducks. β
"Haha, I feel like we're a little arrogant, you don't feel like you when you say it. β
"This is a fact, and the right judgment of one's own strength and image is always the first priority. β
"Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, does it mean to win a hundred battles?"
"Well, it's good that you know. Do you feel like you're deliberately playing idioms on your bag, are you stimulated by something?"
"Nothing, just to let you know that I'm a bit of a cultured person too. β
"Forget it. β
Elisa's words seemed to completely negate the literary breath of the rain, and Elissa who had been listening to their conversation was even more smiling and almost threw down the thunder in her hand and covered her mouth with her hand.
Observing the actions of the two of them calmly like this, less than five minutes later, the battlefield seemed to have won the victory.
Even with the help of human operators and summoners, Guberka's first-class knights were always vulnerable. However, at the same time, the rain and they were also informed by the deer that the pursuit had begun, so the rain operation could also begin.
He didn't do anything special to get out of the field, or any other warning, he just walked through the grass like a stranger who got lost and came in.
"Stop. β
Less than two seconds after he appeared, the nimble Jeist had already pulled out his knife-like magic guide and pointed it at the rain.
"The knife is not old...... Is that so?"
Yu did not identify himself, let alone ask the other party. It is believed that the other party will already know who is coming and why he is here just by looking at his face.
"The successor of the Demon King, are you here to take us away?"
"It's okay to bring no, but can you answer me a few questions?"
The rain didn't put pressure on the other side, and even the magic guide didn't activate. It's just that Jester seems to be very wary of him, but this is also a matter of course, after all, as the enemy rain is almost a nightmare for half of Mead.
What's even more frightening is that there are people from the Rainbow Light behind him, or where is the rumored Demon King hiding...... The mere thought of this made Jack sweat.
"Lu Xian is ready to pass it on, no matter what happens, don't interrupt, even if it's ......"
Jest didn't continue, but from the look in his eyes he knew that the uncle, who had always taken care of him, was on his way to a battlefield that might not return.
"So let's start with a question that I've been thinking about from time to time lately, why are you still fighting, why do you continue to fight even if you turn into a dead animal?"
"Righteousness. β
The moment the words fell, Jeist sped up, and in just one lunge he came to the rain with lightning speed. This step that imbued with a lot of magic made the rain a little startled, but it only stayed at the level of surprise.
Guan Dao came out of the air like a string moon, and Yu didn't panic in front of the calmest mind, he slid back a waist close to 90 degrees and dodged with the smallest movement. He then kicked with habit as a driving force, and the kick hit Jack hard in the jaw like a gold fish, or perhaps Jack didn't expect the other side to activate the magic guide first, but the blow was surprisingly effective.
The kicked Jester had a slight brain convulsion, and everything in the field of vision became a double cripple that made him afraid to attack for a while. This time the rain kicked off the Blue Moon and entered a state of combat.
Jack's wishful thinking, which he wanted to suppress the rain and keep him from exerting his full strength, was broken, but this did not make him feel hopeless, after all, he was also a battle-hardened warrior and a hero of the ground team.
Since he is a hero, in the worst environment, he can also fight without fear. He had always fought for his righteousness, for his beliefs, and for those who stood behind him.
"Uncle, you don't seem to be the one who fought under him. β
The rain didn't chase him down, and although his purpose was to catch people, he didn't rush it. After all, the game laid out is almost perfect, even if they use the distance to send the magic away, and Alisa is always analyzing the destination, and then they can rely on Elisia's speed to intercept it again, or they can make Elisian a surprise attack when the magic is almost complete.
However, compared to the former, the risk of the latter is significantly lower. So the rain had already informed Elisie to be ready to attack at any time.
"I'm just fighting for my justice. β
"Then the second question is, why should it not be your justice to Scully Eddie. Your righteousness should be somewhere else, so the rest of the reasons ......"
Rain looked at the girl who had been under Jester's protection, the girl named Lu Xi.
ββ¦β¦β
Jest didn't respond, and then Rain decided to continue.
"She looks like Aunt Megnu. β
ββ¦β¦β
Even though the rain reported that it might be the girl's birth mother's name, Jester was only a little shaken, and he wasn't accidentally caught by the rain, because it didn't mean anything to him.
"Let me tell you one thing, Aunt Silver is waiting for her captain and good sister to return, and her children are fighting on the front line. β
ββ¦β¦ Yes? β
Eventually, Jeist let out a sigh of gratitude or relief, and at that moment the rain realized that the teleportation magic behind him was almost complete, and he was ready to start.
[An unidentified object is approaching at high speed in the rain, and it will come into contact with you in three seconds!]
"Elisie, do it!"
Boom.
The sound of electricity sounded, and Jester knew something was wrong. There was already a flash of thunder about to strike her when he turned to look back at Lou Sissy, but just as Elisie approached infinitely, everyone present fell.
Bang!
In the area of half a kilometer with Elissian and Lou Sysis as the center, everything was crushed by an invisible force, just like being pressed by a whole pyramid, and the rain and Elice, who was originally moving at high speed, were suddenly crushed to the ground, even Lou and Jack, who were originally transmitted.
"That's a lot of clever Lulu asking for help. Brother Jester, too, you've had a hard time procrastinating. β
The appearance of the third person's voice caused both Rain and Elisia to look at the source of the voice as if they were touching electricity, and at the end of the line of sight appeared an angel.
It was an angel in the armor of a knight of Western Europe, the flowing armor made her look solemn, and the silver white wings on the back added to the sense of might, and if she was said to be a fighting angel, I am afraid that no one would not believe her.
While everyone wondered where this angel had come from, Yu had already had an answer.
Because he had seen this angel, no, it wasn't right. Because the angel at the time did not have wings, it was the Karasa figure that Rain had seen in the time of Ancient Berca, with a strong dimensional barrier and a Karasa doll used by Prince Edmund .
However, rather than the reappearance of the lost technology of the ancient Berka era, Rain was more concerned with the voice coming from the angel's body, which was the voice of the opium.
"Is this a puppet, your methods are really eye-opening to me. β
Resisting the invisible force and standing up straight, the rain stared at Icarus, who was slowly descending from the sky, and said.
"As I said, the next time we meet is on the rock. Well, of course, it won't be in front of you until then, believe it or not. But compared to these, you can see through the body of Icarus at a glance, and you really deserve to be the savior of the world. β
"Don't put gold on my face, I'm going to settle these two people. β
"I'm sorry, but they're still useful to me. β
When Icarus hit the ground, the rain suddenly slammed. He was still restrained in the last second, as if he had never existed, and a rainbow light quietly lit up, a mortal light shining from the fist of the rain.
"Ten times. β
It was only during the rain's assault that Icarus raised his hands to meet the bodies of Elisian and the rain, and then a cold sound came out of her mouth.
The pressure seemed to have suddenly doubled, not to mention that Elice, who could only move a little bit, was forced to fall by the rain that was already stabbing, and the rainbow's fist hit the ground that had already been overwhelmed by the force.
Bang!
I am afraid that the loud sound of two consecutive voices must have reached the ears of the people of the six subjects, and I believe that it will not be long before the people of the six subjects will rush to the scene.
But these considerations were no longer in the rain and their minds, after all, the enemy was going to escape. By the time Icarus raised his hands, it was as if the power of the monarch had been confined to only the two of them, and Jester and Luss had regained their freedom.
"Thank you. β
Lady Lu nodded her head to the puppet in gratitude, and then let Jester, who was walking a little awkwardly with her magic weapon, into the magic circle.
"Hehe, it's my duty to rescue the little girl from the hands of her big brother who is in danger. β
Duck's cynical words made Rain feel in danger, and in the midst of the crisis, Rain instantly switched the pattern of the moon eclipse. Like a samurai, he draws his sword from his waist, and his hand never hesitates and stops, and then slashes it with confidence.
The pitch-black half-moon sliced everything in front of him in half, and Icarus' barrier shattered after only three seconds, and the armor behind it was of course cut open like thin paper. However, they had long since lost touch to the two Jesters, and all that was left was a magical Karakuri doll in its own form.
"Is Alisa tracking?"
"The target is now being delivered to Blue Moon, and I have already started the delivery at the same time. β
A crimson Mead-style magic array unfolded under Rain's feet, and soon the magic took shape and sent him away. In the blink of an eye, the scenery changed completely, and two things came into view first before the rain cleared the surrounding environment.
Those were the two doll Icarus who were just like Gang and Rosis who was still spreading her magic.
"Ten times. β
"Ten times. β
The double sound was faster than the rain of thought, and even the space of the organizational language was pressed down by the force that had just doubled before there was rain.
"Even if you're twenty times the gravity of this planet, you can't move as you please. β
The cold and playful sound of the opium constantly stimulated the rain's nerves, but he really couldn't fight back at all at this moment, maybe he could regroup in the next second, and in another second, he would be able to destroy the two Icarus, but in this second, the two in front of him would have to flee first.
"Oh no!
The jet-black ash that erupted in anger at once enveloped his body, and the sword finger forcibly carved out a small solitary shape underground, and a small moon shaped like a mackerel flag on the sea, and the target was the magic array of Lussia among Icarus.
Then Crescent and Lou Sinie mistook it, and it was two Icarrots who unleashed a barrier together to force and twist the attack at their own expense.
In the end, the only ones left were white-haired and black-clad swordsmen.
