Chapter 43, Silver
Lloyd...... Get out of the way! β
With Randy's low roar, Lloyd immediately retracted the whirling stick that was about to hit the armored giant on the opposite side, and slid his right leg out of the way, dodging an offensive line. Seeing this, the armored giant just dodged away, and swung a huge iron fist at Lloyd.
With a bang, the armored giant hadn't understood what was going on, and the guy who deserved to be knocked away by its heavy punch was still here. And his right arm is gone. The incision is flat, which shows the strength of the blow.
As soon as Randy struck a blow, he immediately turned the muzzle of the gun and turned the rifle [Berserker] into a heavy machete, and the bottom-up slash left a fatal wound in the armored giant's breastplate, almost cutting it in two.
The machete under the muzzle of the berserker is not meant to be pretty. In order to increase the power of the shot and reduce the recoil, the gun body was inevitably made large and heavy. For a gun, this is a serious problem. If the equipment is too heavy, it means that the user's physical exertion will increase on the battlefield. It means that it is more difficult to use, and you can't use it without enough strength.
However, once this weight is used skillfully, it becomes the most powerful weapon. The machete is something that doesn't just rely on sharpness. If you want to cut something in two, the best way is not to sharpen the blade. An axe is a good example, the blade of an axe and the blade of a kitchen knife are completely incomparable in sharpness, but when it comes to chopping trees, an axe is countless times more suitable than a kitchen knife. The reason for this is its weight and the structure of the blade.
The blade of the Randy Berserker is closer to the blade of the axe, and the weight of the gun body, combined with the structure of the cutting blade, makes it the deadliest weapon in close combat.
Melee ranged weapons, incredibly powerful and difficult to use, are very much in the style of a hunter.
Are the people of the red sign using similar weapons? Lloyd thought silently in his heart, and at the same time kept it in his heart, preparing to ask Randy after today's mission.
With Randy's opening the way, the crowd wasted little effort.
Each bullet can inflict massive damage on enemies, and the cutting blade of the gun directly cuts enemies. Randy, who is carrying this gun, is really worthy of the word [Berserker].
"We've seen quite a few of these things, right? What is that? β
Perhaps because it was too light-hearted, Ellie tried to stir up the conversation.
This kind of battle, it's so easy. It's not even a battle. The so-called battle is a clash between two evenly matched sides, and this one-sided battle situation can only be described as a massacre. Randy's crazy slaughter war alone.
"Probably...... Ancient alchemy magic weapons or something, right? β
Theo said as he turned on the sensors to collect data. She said yes, probably by looking into a database or something.
"Magic weapons? No wonder no one senses the senses. β
Noelle kept nodding, this kind of thing, if it is explained by the technology handed down from ancient times, it makes sense unexpectedly.
"And it doesn't seem to be a guided drive, it's something much older. Now, Ti Ou Jun-chan, discuss it with the consortium and bring some back to study, right? β
After the shock at the beginning, He Xu has maintained a lot of interest, and for children, this beautiful and dreamy scenery can arouse their longing in their hearts the most. Not to mention that it's not only beautiful, but also technological. He Xu couldn't wait to pick up something and go back.
Seeing that she was driven by action, Noelle hurriedly went to stop her, and persuaded slowly: "This is an ancient ruin, and it can't be destroyed casually......
"Okay...... Hexu will apply to the consortium for ......"
No...... I didn't mean that...... Noelle smiled helplessly, hoping that he could understand the precious value of the ancient ruins.
But...... Ancient technology is really desirable!
Noelle looked at the bright yellow ball of light in the center of the platform again, and found that the soft light was very lovely. It was possible to make something like this so long ago......
"Miss Noelle, don't be left behind."
Ellie tapped her companion on the shoulder, and Noelle quickly returned her with a relaxed smile and followed.
Before they knew it, they had climbed quite a few floors.
5 floors? Maybe it's 6 floors......
Under Randy's great power, it took almost no effort for everyone to climb the position. There are a large number of magical beasts that look like medieval knights' armor wandering around in the Tower of Stars, and there are also swords, shields, and weapons floating in the sky, but without exception, they are not Randy's opponents at all.
"Ah...... It's not ...... here."
Lloyd suddenly screamed, and Randy looked back at him, only to see his companion's surprised expression.
"Huh? Here......"
Even Ellie reacted.
Randy frowned and swept around, gasping coldly.
Over here...... It's the place in the dream that was killed by Yuki Tatsumi.
Although the dream is not very clear, there is no doubt that the lights in the darkness, and the smell of humidity in the air, and the spiraling staircase......
"Well, what's wrong with you?"
Noelle looked like he was fine.
Sure enough, Noelle didn't appear in the dream, does that mean she didn't have that dream?
Is...... I don't know what to say.
Lloyd shook his head, as if to convince himself.
"Right now, our main task is to meet with Silver. Confirm its true meaning. Leave the rest of things at that. β
"But...... That guy said he was going to join us, but what about people? β
Randy swept around, not finding the feeling of swimming.
You is a sneaking expert, and Randy is not good at breath searching, even if he can't find it, it's normal.
ββ¦β¦ I believe in him. Let's go ahead and move on. β
Lloyd calmly gave the order, and finally decided to move on: Yuki Tatsumi must have hoped so. Let us not rely too much on Him.
ββββββββββββββββββββ
As the crowd kept climbing, they finally reached a wide platform. It's supposed to be the top floor.
There is no longer a strangely structured platform, the huge bookshelves are densely packed around, the huge celestial sphere is supported by a golden stand, and the faint blue light reflects a dreamlike feeling. There is also a staircase in the corner, which is the staircase to the roof, according to the structure of the apartment building.
"Welcome to the Dream Ruins of the Ancient Alchemist."
The voices of the male and female seem to come from the netherworld.
A man dressed in black, standing proudly at the top of a huge bookshelf, hooded and wearing a silver mask. The cuffs are decorated with decorations that resemble crow feathers. A huge purple-blue sword was placed beside him.
"You ......"
Before Lloyd could finish speaking, Silver jumped lightly off the bookshelf with a small jump. Landing silently, showing the excellence of his light skills, Randy snorted coldly, and pointed the muzzle of the gun at Yin's position without hiding his killing intent.
"First meeting, all of you from the Special Mission Support Section."
Silver looked calm and greeted Lloyd as usual.
"When we first met, my name was Yin...... First of all, I would like to express my condolences to all of you who have come all the way at my invitation. β
Speaking the archaic sentence, Lloyd was somewhat relieved. At least, he was not hostile. If he wanted to, then in this Tower of Stars, he could come and assassinate everyone anytime and anywhere. His willingness to come forward to talk fully demonstrates his sincerity.
On his own side, Randy's overt hostility makes everyone seem less friendly. But Lloyd wasn't naΓ―ve enough to stop Randy from outbursting into hostility towards him.
"Well, may I ask a digression? Those strange monsters in the tower, did you set them up? β
Lloyd took a deep breath and began to ask.
"Hehe, they've been wandering around the tower all the time. In order not to rust my skills, I often look for challenging practice areas. It's really impressive. β
Other words...... Isn't it set in silver? It's also said that it is a bit exaggerated to say that one person has set up so many Warcraft.
"Although you still have a lot of questions, but ......"
A smile curled into the corners of Silver's mouth, one of the few parts of his body exposed to air.
"Until then, pass the final test."
With that, Silver raised his greatsword with one hand and pushed it flat at his side.
It was a slightly smaller weapon than Randy's Berserker, and by all accounts, it wasn't easy to use with one hand.
"I have no interest in the weak. Can you meet my expectations? Please also ...... Prove it to me personally. β
