Seeing this, Kid and Artie smiled softly behind their armor. The attack just now temporarily stopped the movement of the group members, which was their original purpose. Moving at the height of the Phantom Knight's head, the Chid kicked through the trees one after the other to accelerate further, then raised his two-handed sword and aimed it at Tresthal's head.

"Woooo

The group member turned back to look around, and a humanoid object flying at an alarming speed leaped into its field of vision. Taken by surprise by the unexpected attack, it tried to barely twist its mech to avoid it, but was unable to completely dodge it from its unnatural posture of standing still and turning its head. The outstretched two-handed sword slashed into the helmet, making a slashing noise and sparkling. The Phantasmal Knight's armor was indeed strong, and not only did it not suffer any damage from this attack, but the eyeball crystal was still intact. However, the unnatural evasive movements caused Trestal to lose his balance.

The twins did not miss this good opportunity and continued to attack. Artie's motorbike stood firm not far away, lowered his center of gravity, grabbed the large portable ballista in his hand so as not to miss his head, and fired unceremoniously with all his might. Force, bending, and every time the heavy sound of liberating the accumulated power sounded, the huge arrows that almost made one mistake for a long spear shot into the air. The shot had roughly locked onto the target, and the guns rained down on the unbalanced and flawed Trestal in a torrential rain.

Seeing the Trestar piloted by the Bronze Tooth Knight Regiment being toyed with by the Phantom Armor's attack, Edgar changed his previous caution and shortened the distance between him and the Cayhill in one go. He didn't know how long the twins would be able to stumble on the group's chance, so he could only make the most of this opportunity and let Earl Campbell risk approaching.

"Enlightenment!"

The sudden ambush and the students who turned from defense to attack made Keshir feel an unprecedented sense of anxiety in the capital.

"These stinky little ghosts!!Don't look down on people!!"

Compared to the previous overwhelm, Trestal's sword was astonishingly sharp and terrifyingly powerful. The difference is unbelievable.

In the face of this blow, Earl Camber did not dodge, and took its sword from the front. Trestal's power is comparable to the usual heavy type, and a head-to-head confrontation will definitely lose in strength, so Edgar relies not only on arm strength, he strides hard, presses all his body strength on the sword, and blocks Tresthal's sword in an instant, and the two sides are deadlocked. This is a new type of machine technique that Edgar has developed using his past experience, and this trick will lose its effect if the opponent is alert, so it can't be used too often, and it can be said to be a double-edged sword. Because of this, Edgar chose to give his opponent a "good look" at the beginning. This equilibrium would have been destroyed as soon as Tresthal exerted his strength, and before that, Earcumber had squeezed down his sword and swung it with Trestal's.

"This guy!?"

Earl Camber's shield-holding left hand retracted, and then immediately thrust towards Tresthal. This kite-like shield has an angular tip and is not sharp at all, but it can be used as a simple striking weapon. He was aiming for the arm, of course. After all, the arm is closely related to the ability to attack, but more importantly, it is inferior to other parts in terms of structure and staying power.

There was a snap, and a strange sound came from Trestald's thumped elbow. The thought of pursuing crossed Edgar's mind for a moment, but he quickly retreated. In the next second, a wave of armed magic strikes from the back hit Earcumber's original position.

"It didn't go so well......

Edgar calmly observed his opponent, and when he noticed something, his expression couldn't help but twist bitterly. The other party did not notice his surprise, and put away the new aircraft armed on the back and did not continue the pursuit. The attack just now did not cause fatal injuries, and the arm seemed to be able to move, and the sword was well held in the hand. Tresthal's calm, ominous silence caused Edgar to gradually turn from surprise to alarm.

"I apologize to you, student. 」

Trestal spoke suddenly. The unemotional, flat, straightforward tone made Edgar more vigilant.

"Seriously, I think you're a student, so I'm underestimating you. As a result, I didn't expect you to have two hits. 」

Trestal moved more slowly, and he put on a posture in which his previous stiffness was gone. Even if he was unfamiliar with the body, running such a long distance allowed Kehir to roughly grasp the characteristics of the body. That's right, she's the head of the Bronze Fang Knight - even though she doesn't represent a regular knight, and such a title wouldn't be given to someone who doesn't have the strength.

"As an apology, I'll let you see. It may have been a little rusty lately...... Let me see the Bronze Serpent's Fang!!"

Before he could finish speaking, Trestal attacked with a sharper move than the first blow. The fierce counterattack came suddenly, and Earl Camber had to do everything in his power to barely take it.

"It's so strong!It's really hard to deal with!!"

Earl Camber carefully measured the distance, shielding his defenses while groping for what to do next. White and steel, two Phantom Knights shot at the same time, rushing out with a roaring sound.

Listening to the fighting between Ear Camber and Trestal from afar, the members of the Bronze Tooth Knights roared loudly because of this unexpected situation:

"These guys, drill around!"

He could hear the sound of enemies kicking nearby trees, which echoed through the forest, making it difficult to locate them. He swung his sword in a rage, but he couldn't even wipe the edges. At this moment, another huge spear flew from the depths of the forest, causing Trestal's outfit to spew sparks.

This has been going on for quite some time. Two enemies, one using a melee weapon, flew through the trees, and the other fired a spear-like arrow from a distance, working together. The tacit and excellent action played with the group members in the applause.

The enemies are much smaller than the Phantom Knights, but this is one of the main reasons for the elusive attacks due to their excellent concealment in the forest. Their respective attacks were nothing spectacular, and the armor of the Phantom Knight was not just a thick piece of metal, but also magically strengthened, making it stronger than it looked. But even if it's a Phantom Knight, it's not trivial if he gets hit in the joint.

You can't inflict fatal injuries with a single blow, but you can't completely ignore their danger. Unfortunately, he thinks that the enemy is too small and can be dealt with as soon as the attack hits. As he aimed at the mid-air foe, a concentrated burst of spear attacks landed on its unsuspecting back.

Unfortunately, the Tresthal he piloted, with the equipment of the Wizard Uniform on his back, and the intricate heraldic spells and fragile durability inside him could not withstand a continuous stream of spears. After stabbing several spears, the heraldic spell was fatally damaged, and the Magical Ice Suit was rendered incapacitated.

Realizing that the situation was not right, he hurriedly went on the defensive, but it was too late, and Trestal had already lost its main advantage, and although he had deliberately taken a defensive position after that, he had fallen into a situation of being attacked unilaterally like this.

The Bronze Tooth Knights in the driver's seat looked as fierce as a beast stabbed in the ass, and he pondered how to take down these hateful foes. Enemies in charge of long distances are quite cautious, always keeping a certain distance, and when they get close, they will only flee to other places. Close enemies should be dealt with first. However, if you don't find a way to stop his movements, or at least catch your opponent's figure, don't talk about anything. He barely managed to burn his mind as the enemy attacks continued, and that only added fuel to his anger.

Suddenly, a ray of moonlight pierced through the forest and reached Trestal's eyeball crystal. The group members looked at the images captured by the phantom projector and had a strong idea. Now his expression was like that of a beast that had discovered its prey, and he looked like he couldn't wait to put it into action.

I don't know how many times the attack was bounced off, and Kidd was almost dead to the hardness of the Phantom Knight. Basically, the attack power of the Phantom Armor is not much different from that of humans, and it alone is still not enough to defeat the Phantom Knight. Despite his attempts to increase his speed and aim for the fragile joints, Trestar wasn't stupid enough to let him get away with it easily.

(Edgar is right, he can only stall for time.) Even though that's enough, it's still unacceptable.

The Chide machine used the oscillating principle of the steel cable anchor to accelerate, jumped out, and then pulled down the arrow fixed on the tree, and the whole person stopped on the next tree with the force of a collision. Regaining his somewhat slackening spirits, he kicked down the trunk again and sped up to attack Tresthal, who had turned to fend off the arrows fired by Arti's machine. The blow aimed at the shoulder joint was still blocked and ended in failure.

As Chid prepares to break away, Trestal behind him begins to behave differently than before. It probably gave up on itself, wielding its sword wildly. There were many lush trees standing around, and although such a casual attack would not hit the Chid machine, the strong force of the rope-type crystalline muscles cut down the trees and branches everywhere.

"What the hell, it's dangerous—"

Did he think he could hit with his power swinging around?, Kidd chuckled as he felt Trestal drive being pushed abruptly. He understands the other party's feelings, because he is impatient because he can't defeat you. The attack is repeated, cutting down some of the trees near Trestahl, but not so much that it affects movement. The accelerated Chid approached Trestal again.

That's right, just as the Bronze Tooth Knight had expected, the Phantom Armor that rushed into the edge of the woods reflected the moonlight. It shone brightly in the dim forest, clearly marking the location of the vigilant regiments.

"There!!Found you!!"

The members of the regiment who have been playing with it have tens of millions of hatred, and they swing this sword with all their might. It is a fatal situation for Moto Bits that take advantage of the terrain of the dark forest and their small size. He kicked into the next tree to try to change direction, but the sword swung faster than he did. Ironically, the hateful blow turned into a sword of the storm that was far more powerful than ever before.

"Chid!"

Artie screamed with wide eyes. There was a strong hesitation to act, but it was too late to shoot even with a large portable ballista. She ran out with all her might, with a small hope.

Kidd felt his blood flow backwards all over his body, staring at the Giant's Sword approaching at terrifying speed, as he remembered something. It's about his master, El. His movement is as light as a swallow and his extraordinary magical abilities. Didn't he teach the magic of "speeding up in the air where there is nothing"?

"Woo woo oh !!!"

The Phantom Armor is a metal skeleton structure that operates through crystalline muscles, which are catalyst crystals that can also be used as catalysts for manifesting magic.

The Chid Machine stretched out its foot in a cracked silk and injected its magic into the crystalline muscles that drove it in one breath, while the extremely simple magic similar to the basic form manifested on a spectacular scale. Without regard to proportion or control, the compressed atmosphere exploded almost with the momentum of a bomb. This brutal method of atmospheric compression propulsion that Al called simply reversed the direction of the Kidd machine. The sword of the giant, which slashed diagonally, swept through the space where the Chid machine was located with overwhelming destructive force at the last moment.

"Oh oh wow!?"

Kid, who almost turned into a ghost under the sword, fell out of control in the air. Unlike Al, who is used to flying in the air, he barely uses unskilled skills and cannot fully master the movements that follow. He gambled on a chance to survive and forced the steel cable anchor in a state of spinning and falling.

Luckily, the cable anchor was successfully embedded in the trunk of the tree and retracted to restore balance. However, before he could take action, Kid was unfortunate enough to run out of cable anchors with his wrist outstretched.

"Ahem!"

The cable anchor that had been pulled to the limit shook the Kid Machine, and the force exerted by the strong impact caused the Kid Machine to turn to the side. It was fastened to a wire rope anchor and circled in mid-air around a large tree. In the chaotic thinking of centrifugal pulling, he still maintained a considerable speed, and as soon as he saw the ground approaching, he screamed and tried to straighten the body, and learned from the lesson he had just learned to carefully control the compression of the atmosphere to slow down, and then use the atmospheric buffer - this is also the magic taught by Al himself - to use the compressed atmosphere mass as a buffer to absorb the impact of landing. Kidd, who was about to fall to the ground, finally managed to land slowly.

"Whoa...... It was so dangerous...... It's really dangerous......

He staggered to his feet as he coughed and gasped for breath to replenish his reduced mana and soothe his pounding heart. Presumably, it was not only the reason for the decrease in his magic power, but also the sense of security of escaping death was also reflected in his trembling body.

However, the status quo did not even give him a respite. A shaking of the ground and the footsteps of the behemoth grew closer. Of course, Trestal also saw what he had just done. The Bronze Fang Knights piloting Trestal had thought that they would have crashed to the ground and died, but he agreed that Kidd was a tricky man, and he didn't dare to take it lightly unless he was confirmed dead. So he walked towards Kid, ready to give him the final blow with his own hands.

He had no choice but to escape. Chid barely took a deep breath, and when his breath calmed down, he activated the Phantom Armor again. He used a steel cable anchor to move a lot, but was stunned when he saw the wrist of the mech. The anchor that was wrapped around the tree when it fell was so broken that it could no longer be used, and there was no response to pulling. Kidd gritted his teeth and ripped off the winch device from his wrist, which would now only be a stumbling block.

He squeezed out the last of his strength and ran, trying to distance himself from the oncoming giants.

As Arte ran through the forest, dust kicking up under her feet, she mounted her large ballista and fired at Tresthal, who was chasing the Chid. However, the armor still relentlessly deflected all attacks. Not to mention trapping Tresthal, it didn't even have any effect. In a state where both sides are in action, one cannot be expected to take effect unless amazing luck is added to it.

Artie held back the rising anxiety in her heart, but kept firing ballistas, hoping to hold back the enemy. Like a hungry beast that has spotted its weak prey, Trestal licked his lips and approached the Chid Machine. The Qide machine obviously consumes a lot, and it doesn't look like it can escape. Now, the only person who can stop Trestal and help Chid is Artie. She continued to attack with a prayerful heart.

However, her prayers were not fulfilled.

Trestal, who had completely locked on to the Kid Machine, raised his sword again, accelerated to deliver the fatal blow, and took a few more steps forward to bring the Kid Blade into the sword's range. Trestal took the final step in a big way.

When Artie's vision was clouded with tears, the Chid Machine stopped struggling, and the Bronze Tooth Knights deepened the vengeful smile on their faces, something unexpected happened. In front of the fleeing Chid, there was "something" in the direction of Tresthal's pursuit, which was the tightrope cut by the Chid. The steel ropes wrapped around the trees were firmly anchored to the height of the Phantom Armor, which was at Tresthal's feet.

Unaware of the sudden attack, Trestal was caught in the ankle by a tightrope that unflickered towards the giant's feet, stopping it in its tracks. This can be said to be the weakness that Phantom Knights, who walk on two feet like humans, are destined to have. Tresthal, who was about to move his center of gravity but was tripped up, just fell forward.

The members of the Bronze Tooth Knight in the driver's seat may also be so dizzy that they can't react for a while. Trestal fell forward in a graceful posture, striking his head against the trunk of the tree, and there was a muffled "thud". If it were a human being, if it was hit on the head like this, I am afraid that it would die, right? The giant's head fell at such an angle, sending up a thick cloud of smoke and dust.

「...... Uh, what the hell is going on ...... this?"

"Kid, Kid, are you alright!?Are you still alive!?"

Kid kept his mouth open from beginning to end, stupidly watching what was happening behind him. Trestal, who had fallen with a loud noise, did not move, and fell to the ground in the smoke and dust.

Artie ran to Kid's side, a step too late. It was a great relief to confirm that Kidd was stunned in place.

"Great, I thought it was too late!!ah, really, great......!!, but I didn't expect you to be able to prepare this kind of trap when you escaped...... That's amazing, well done, Kidd!!"

"Uh-huh?...... Ahh

Compared to Kid, who looked away and let out a dry laugh, Artie was full of smiles and waved her arms vigorously to express her joy.

"Anyway, let's clean up this guy first. 」

As he finished speaking, Kidd clenched his hand, which was still a little shaky.

Trestal gradually fell.

On the way, they hit a tree, and the members of the Bronze Tooth Knights, who were twisted together in the twisted mech, fell into a state of confusion because they didn't know what was happening. Trestal didn't have time to make a body move, and he collided directly with the ground. Although the speed was somewhat slowed down by hitting a tree, the damage from the violent fall still affected the rider in the driver's seat. The impact from behind squeezed the air out of his lungs, causing him to cough violently several times. Luckily there was a strap, so he just shook his seat a few times and was fine. If it weren't for that, it might have been thrown into ground meat in the cockpit.
