Time stood almost still in that moment. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It all happened between the lightning and flint, Ciel's figure shimmering in the moonlight, his black robe hunted by the air current, and when Alex rolled over and looked up, he saw the moment Ciel's right hand pressed against the giant golem's chest.

"Did it work!?"

Because of the angle, Alex's vision could only see behind Hill, and the more specific situation was obscured by the wide black robe. The giant sword in the puppet's hand had just left the ground, and its other hand continued to smash into the air with unabated momentum - whether this action was just due to inertia is unknown.

Ciel landed his toes on the golem's body, and with the help of the reaction force, his body flew backwards, and he fell to the ground while dodging the iron fist that struck him.

Alex's gaze followed Ciel's body to her side, where there was an expressionless teenager with his knee slightly bent and his right hand supporting the ground.

"Hey ......"

Alex's eyes were fixed on Ciel's right hand on the ground, and she couldn't help but make a sound from her mouth.

-- Since the hand was naturally pressed on the ground, it was of course empty. Aside from the air, there was probably only fresh dust.

To sum it up in two words, it is failure. Three words is a big failure, four words is a complete failure, and then there is the defeat of the Super Invincible Thunderbolt - in short, a complete failure.

Looking at the clear status quo in front of her, Alex was speechless for a moment.

This is the strategy that Hill and Alex devise on their way to chase - Alex attracts attention and creates opportunities for Hill, who then seizes the opportunity to reach the key location of the puppet and use the thief's "theft" to steal the giant golem's magic core - for the large, hard metal monster, this is the only flaw that Ciel and Alex can find.

However, it is clear that this operation has gone wrong in the last link.

Ciel had slowly stood up and turned his face to look at Alex with an expressionless face.

"Failed."

He spoke without any ups and downs, and there was no emotion of regret or remorse in his voice, so calm that it seemed as if he were talking about the weather.

"If you don't say this, I can see it."

Alex dodged to the side, narrowly dodging another slash from the giant golem.

Frustrated by several swings, Alex straightened up to see a dazzling glow in the black hole at the tip of the giant golem's left arm.

"Hey ......"

Seeing this scene, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and before she could express her thoughts, a pillar of light shot out of the black hole.

It's over, it's over!

As this thought rose from the bottom of her heart, Alex couldn't help but close her eyes. The metal shield in her hand couldn't defend herself against such a high-energy attack, and she couldn't be faster than the beam—maybe she would die, the moment the thought came to her, she suddenly felt her body spin, and then a high-speed air flow across her skin.

Slowly opening her eyes, she saw Ciel's usual expressionless face.

In the next moment, she noticed the current posture of the two of them.

"Princess, princess hug!?"

Visible to the naked eye, Alex's face quickly turned crimson, and there was a faint heat bubbling out, like a boiling kettle.

The first reaction after escaping death was like this, you can get a glimpse of Alex's girlish heart.

Hill didn't have time to pay attention to Alex's reaction in his arms, he was constantly changing direction, speeding up and down the trees at irregular speed—not on the ground, but among the branches.

Beams of light from behind kept passing past him, instantly dusting all the trees in his track. The result of being hit by such a dangerous attack is probably the loss of bones, but as if he has eyes behind his back, Hill can always adjust his direction first.

Another beam of light shot from behind, and Hill volleyed into the air with the reaction force of the tree trunk under his feet, changing direction and jumping onto the branch sticking out from the side of the tree.

The weight of two people is not light, but Hill can always find a branch that can support the weight of two people. It's not easy to pinpoint the exact location of the sea of branches in front of you while moving at high speed, not to mention keeping an eye out for attacks from behind. This fluid form without any frustration is not a combination of eyesight, reflexes, and judgment, but is the result of the amazing instincts of Hill's body and consciousness.

As if overheating, the giant golem's beam shot stopped, and it began to chase after it with a shock.

"Stupid, stupid! Put me down! ”

Hearing Alex's words, Ciel landed lightly on the ground, then suddenly let go of his hand without warning.

"Uh-huh-"

Alex fell unsuspectingly to the ground, making a sound like she had been hit in the stomach by a boxer.

"You idiot-!"

She roared loudly and slapped the dust off her body and jumped up, but before she could continue to speak, Hill suddenly pushed her backwards with force-

The white metal greatsword slashed at where she had stood.

As soon as he stood up, he was pushed to the ground again, and it happened that there was a stone standing right next to him. Hit on the head by a hard stone, Alex had Venus in her eyes and tears in the corners of her eyes.

Before she could regain her senses, Ciel quickly pulled her to her feet and took her hand and ran forward.

Behind him was the constant sound of heavy footsteps and greatswords slicing through trees, as well as Anderson's irrational repetitive shouts from inside the golem.

"Hey, Ciel, what are we going to do now!"

Driven by a sense of urgency, Alex no longer had the heart to pay attention to what had just happened, and she ran forward with her hands in hand, while turning her face to look at Ciel next to her.

“…… Again, theft. ”

Even though he was running at a rapid pace, Ciel's voice seemed to be completely unaffected, which was incredible.

"Huh!?" Hearing Ciel's words, Alex seemed surprised: "But, didn't you fail just now?" Maybe the core of this puppet is in another position......"

"Just now, it was a skill failure." Ciel said expressionlessly, "The magic core is indeed there. ”

“…… Will it succeed next time? Obviously just failed once? ”

"It's okay."

Hill said and gave her a thumbs up.

"Failure is the mother of failure."

"What about the ingredients of success!? Where is the possibility of success!? ”

What, this cycle of despair with a bleak future? It's all about locking in the next failed manifesto.

While thinking, Alex complained loudly, and the next second, a suspicious look appeared on her face-

"Now, Ciel. Because it was you who came up with the 'theft' method with a confident look, I didn't ask - what is the success rate of Hill's 'theft' skill? ”

"I don't know."

Hearing Alex's words, Ciel shook his head slightly. After a few seconds, he added softly-

"Because, until now, it hasn't been successful."

"Isn't that zero!?"

Alex had a stunned expression.

"In this case, why can you confidently say 'just leave it to me' before you act!?"

"It's going to work out next time, I'm so sure."

"I'll believe you're a ghost!" Alex complained loudly: "Hurry up and throw that baseless confidence aside for me!" ”

"Try again, can't you?"

"Basically, 100% sure to fail!?"

"But even if it's only a 1 percent chance, I'd like to give it a try."

"It's zero! Where's the one percent!? It's exactly zero, okay!? ”

Running as hard as she could, Alex felt like her lungs were going to explode.

Multiple extreme dodges combined with long hours of running with all her strength are a great burden on physical and mental health, and Alex can gradually feel the fatigue of her body.

"You can't last too long like this, you have to find a way to take the initiative."

Glancing at the giant golem behind her that made a loud noise and chased it this way, Alex said calmly to Ciel.

That said, there's really nothing you can do about that kind of steel monster. Not to mention the difference in size and strength, the opponent's metal body alone can nullify their attacks.

"Use the containment to drain its energy...... It doesn't look like it's going to work. ”

Until now, the giant golem had shown no signs of running out of energy. It is foreseeable that if you simply compete in endurance, it will be difficult for your side to become the final winner. Because the physical exhaustion of the creatures will gradually affect their physical movements, the machine can maintain the rated speed until the energy is exhausted, not to mention that the opponent is still on the attacking side, and only one hit can lay the victory.

"Kill-kill-"

The voice of the giant puppet kept ringing behind him, and the twisted voice belonging to the young man sounded from the hard metal shell, giving people a strong sense of unpleasure.

"What the hell is going on with this hatred? When did we do something so hateful? ”

Running forward, Alex finally couldn't help but speak.

"Probably, Alex, broke Kintaro."

"Still talking about this? If that's the case, you're more responsible for destroying more than 30 alien puppets at once, right? ”

Of course, this was not the case, they could tell from each other's crazy looks, but the conversation inspired Alex.

"-If you can't 'steal', wouldn't it be nice to destroy it!?"

She said this, looking at Ciel with excitement and anticipation.

However, Hill quickly poured cold water on her: "The core, inside the body. Dagger pills, the length is not enough. ”

His words made Alex smack her tongue secretly, and she thought for a moment: "Then, we can only use the old way to cut off its circuit...... But—"

She turned her head and looked at the giant golem behind her.

"That's a hard height to deal with."

The magic energy circuit of the magic energy puppet is all over the body, and with the level attribute of the two of them above level 15, even if they jump with all their strength, the height is only about eight meters, which is not half the height of this puppet, not to mention that it is not necessarily easy to destroy the circuit on this body.

"Alex, get attention, I'll sabotage."

"That's all it can be."

Alex was nodding her head when she suddenly felt something unusual. Almost at the same time, she and Ciel let go of their holding hands and pushed each other, using the reaction force to separate the sides.

A pillar of light pierced the ground between them.

They stood up from the ground and looked back, the golem that had trampled the woods and chased them floated above the trees, while a glare condensed on their left arm.

-- It decided to change its tactics and abandon the cumbersome chase in favor of long-range shooting from the sky.

Ciel and Alex's plans are bankrupt before they even begin, and it is a fool's dream to destroy the circuit nodes on them in the face of an enemy flying in the air.

"This guy is too difficult."

“……”

In response to them, another beam of light was heard.
