Chapter Seventy-Two: The Trial of Death
Shinji's own peculiarity doomed him to not being able to join the Clone Brigade in his true identity. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info It's right to say that Shinji never wanted to join the Clone team.
He was the trump card of the Elmeloi Vault, and his physical age was only eleven years old to be too conspicuous, and more importantly, he could return to Japan at any time, unable and unwilling to be bound by militarized management.
However, Shinji's display of strength has completely piqued Lorela's interest, and she is bound to win this boy who is similar to herself, but a little younger.
After some bargaining, coercion and temptation, the two agreed that Shinji would join the Clone team as a special member in disguise, and directly belonged to Loreleia. The benefits are the same as those of cadres, and they enjoy the privileges of selecting tasks and not having to accept militarized management outside of tasks.
The reason why such a concession was made is mainly because Shinji's strength is indeed excellent and has great potential. In addition, there is also the consideration of erecting a benchmark to attract more talents to join the Clone team, and Shinji is such a benchmark.
Loreleia expected a team of at least 50 people, and now that half of them have not been recruited, she is unwilling to lower her standards, so she can only change her strategy. The members of the Clone Brigade single-handedly annihilated the "Son of the Fur Forest" and played out such a signboard, which may attract more talents to join, and at the same time deliver a satisfactory answer to the entire Barsermero - Loreleia calculated it this way.
Therefore, Shinji must show his strength and value, if he can't do it, hehe, the consequences are at his own risk!
When she said this, Lorelea was called a queen fan. If Shinji hadn't been accustomed to seeing all kinds of kings (Skaha, Artoria, Gilgamesh, Iskander), he might have fallen under Loreleia's skirt, even though Shinji had never seen Loreleia wear a skirt.
Although Shinji wanted to see how serious the so-called "consequences" were, considering Barsermelo standing behind the girl, Shinji still dispelled this year - blindly provoking a strong enemy is not heroic, but stupid, and Shinji is not stupid.
So he agreed to Lorelaia's condition and killed the "son of Fu Hailin" alone. It can not only show the strength of the Clone brigade to the outside world, but also show the strength of the "Grim Reaper" internally, so that those members who are also excellent can convince themselves - the strong have their own strong players, if you are not convinced, you can also try.
"What are you going to do? Death. ”
Approaching, Loreleia maintained an awe-inspiring attitude and asked calmly, as if she didn't care about the success or failure of the trip at all.
"Looking for a place to land nearby?"
"No, it's too much trouble. Shinji shook his head, "Go straight to the center of the lava." ”
"Do it. ”
Loreleia glanced at the Chariot, who immediately rose in height, adjusted direction, and came to the center of the magma lake.
"And then?"
"I jumped down and destroyed the core—"
Shinji said as he left his seat and reached out to pull the hatch open.
The icy air from high above and the scorching waves of air below poured into the cabin at the same time, giving an indescribable sense of contrast. But this contrast is only a drop in the bucket compared to Shinji's simple and crude approach.
The "chariot", which gave the impression of seriousness and meticulousness, opened its mouth widely, and Loreleia's face also had obvious surprise.
Without giving the two of them time to express their opinions, Shinji jumped out of the cabin, leaving only one sentence.
"--Remember to pick me up. ”
By the time the last word reached his ears, Shinji's figure had turned into a small black dot.
“...... Miss, is he okay?" "Chariot" was a little worried.
"It should be fine. He's the only one in the group who can fight me—"
――But why are you still a little worried?
Lorelea's hands were so hard that the whip that never left her body was bent because of it,
......
Launching the "Leap of Faith" and letting gravity pull his body, Shinji didn't hear Loreleya's heart. The moment he jumped out of the helicopter, he was in combat mode.
Each nerve is fully expanded, feeling the changes around it, and the muscles of the whole body are at the balance point between tension and relaxation, which can be both tense and relaxed.
His eyes were glued to the lake below, watching out for an attack that might come at any moment. Holding down the rune bag with his left hand, holding the frozen runes that have been prepared long ago, and holding it with his right hand, a wide variety of treasures are close at hand.
After a clear sense of distortion, Shinji knew that he had entered the "other world" isolated from the present world, and it seemed that the son of Fu Hailin had also inherited his mother's ability to become an otherworld.
The temperature has risen by leaps and bounds, almost instantaneously, exceeding the limits of human tolerance. Fortunately, Shinji was not affected by the high temperature, he was now wearing a fireproof suit made of salamander skin, and the fire resistance was so high that he could swim directly in the magma, not to mention that it was just a high temperature.
However, the high temperature is only a prelude, and it is not even a prologue to the attack.
The sea of lava boiled as far as the eye could see, and a flowing red flower bloomed on the surface of the lake. The scattered magma is the petals, the pillar of fire that rises to the sky is the heart of the flower, and the alien creature that accompanies the pillar of fire is the stamen.
No matter what part of the flower, there is only one goal - to devour the invader, nay, the prey, and turn it into its own nourishment.
Shinji turned on the switch of the magic circuit, and with the tingling sensation of nerves that he had long been accustomed to, he turned his body into parts, drawing magic from the ubiquitous sea of life, the Great Source. Some of the magic that has been turned into his own use is infused into the feathered shoes under his feet, and he calmly dodges the direct shot of magma by relying on the change of wings.
The magma scattered, and schools of alien fish jumped out one after another, and it was only at this time that Shinji could see the details of the xenomorph creatures. The dense bone spurs on the wing membranes and dorsal spine are hideous and terrifying, the black-gold fangs in the mouth shimmer with a shuddering light, and the smooth, hard scales are reminiscent of freshly polished rubies.
It appears that this creature has a high defense against purely physical attacks.
Shinji, who made such a judgment, gave up his plan to manifest the snake-hunting scythe, and first threw out two Thursaz (Thor's Mallet) runes to hinder the advance of the xenomorph flying fish with thunder and lightning.
After discovering that the flying fish conducts electricity, Shinji makes persistent efforts and uses the little time that Thursaz has bought to launch a thunderbolt rune magic - Thunderbolt Impact.
With a flash of lightning that was clearly visible in a helicopter, the dense school of fish suddenly lost its vitality and convulsed and fell into the lava lake.
But these losses were only a drop in the bucket for the son of the sea forest, and this huge abnormal bloodsucking seed did not give Shen Er the slightest respite, and the second and third magma flowers bloomed one after another.
With the experience of the first flower, Shinji coped more and more calmly, either dodging or using magic to meet the attack, methodically, and the distance between him and the lake became shorter and shorter.
Just when the distance was shortened to twenty meters, Shinji suddenly felt a heaviness in his body.
