Chapter 44: Serial Explosions
"You've got no way out, mage assassin."
Medusa, who escaped continuously, finally found herself completely surrounded.
The enemy seems to have been lying in ambush nearby early in the morning. And she finally released the cyan flame stream, which just exposed her own existence.
Now, no matter how dull Medusa is, she finally realizes that the villa is a complete decoy.
"Your people have surrounded me, don't you dare to come out and show your face?" Medusa looked at the Crusader knights around her and said with a smile.
"Don't dare." Alfred's voice rang out from the communicator carried by a certain knight, "After all, it's a mage assassin with a high sequence of flame abilities, what if you shoot a flame and die with me?" ”
"So you're going to let your men die?" Medusa asked rhetorically.
"It's no use sowing discord." Alfred replied, "My position is not fit to charge head-on, and these valiant Crusader Knights have fireproof asbestos cloths in their armor specifically against you. I'm curious, how much of your fire ability can still exert in this situation? ”
"Asbestos is not a panacea." Medusa said with a sneer.
"But that's enough for you, Lady Mage." Alfred asked, "How?" Do you want to work with me? ”
"Cooperation?"
"If my guess is correct, you should have reached Lv.5, and the ability is 'Flame IV' + 'Mind I', right?" "You don't understand what that means, do you?" The steep road and the existence of Flame IV will cause you to have a very high probability of losing control of taking xenopotions in the future, and your subsequent promotion path will become narrower and narrower. ”
This is certainly not surprising. Olin City cultivated you as a dead soldier, so naturally it will not care about your own future. ”
"But we are different, the nascent kingdom of Thessaloniki urgently needs the help of transcendentals, even if you develop along the sequence of flames and hearts, you can only be promoted to Lv.8 at the highest, and you can get quite a generous reward from us, enough for you to live easily for the rest of your life."
The more Medusa listened, the more she felt that something was wrong, you must know that the upper limit of the Demon Tide level is only Lv.5 now, if it can be upgraded to Lv.5, it will already be the top of the sky, why is this person's words "It's a pity that you can't be promoted to Lv.10 in the future"?
This guy knows that the magic tide is about to rise again? Will the level cap be raised again?
"So, what conditions can you offer?" Medusa asked tentatively, "Don't talk to me about money, I don't believe you're richer than Olympia." ”
"And you believe in Solomon's Catholic Religion, how can I trust that you will not arrest me and burn me as a heretic and a witch?"
"Isn't the evidence here?" Alfred sneered and said, "You're surrounded now, and there's no way to escape. Doesn't it prove our friendliness that we have the absolute superiority and didn't kill you right away? ”
"The Holy See has not yet sent a bishop to Thessaloniki, and the mission of the diocese is the chaplain of our crusaders, who will turn a blind eye to you."
"What we can offer you is a knighthood, and your fief will be in the city of Serre, in the eastern plains of the Struma Valley, where the land is fertile and abundant, enough for you to build a lucrative estate."
"I'm still a little excited." Medusa said with a smile.
A little excited, that is, not yet impressed.
After pretending to think for a moment, Medusa continued to ask:
"Don't you have anything more valuable than titles and fiefs? Like spiritual materials? Potion recipe? A supernatural item that reduces the chance of losing control? ”
"You're laughing, we're devout crusaders, how can we collect all those heretical evils. It took quite a bit of effort to convince the chaplains to turn a blind eye to you. ”
Alfred smiled and said, "Think again, please. One end of the balance of fate is death, the other end is titles and fiefdoms, what else do you have to hesitate about? ”
At this point, Alfred, who was sitting in the room, paused and asked the correspondent next to him, "Why is this call a bit loud?" ”
"It's not the quality of the communication, it's the voice from over there." The correspondent picked up the communication device, "Sir Stekar, your breathing is too loud and affecting the quality of our communications. ”
"I'm sorry." The Power Armor Knight, wearing a communicator, gasped slightly, "It's too hot. ”
Too hot? Alfred was stunned for a moment, then immediately burst out of his seat and shouted:
"Shoot! Kill her now! ”
"It's too late!" While the knights were stunned, extremely hot flames erupted from around Medusa's body.
She laughed wildly in the flames, almost tears in her eyes.
The teardrops quickly evaporated from the corners of the eyes and turned into steam.
"Do you think you don't have to be afraid of flames if you have asbestos!" Her smile stopped abruptly, revealing a murderous and frantic smile, "As long as the temperature is high enough, I can even burn the air clean!" ”
A more intense light lit up from her, and a majestic stream of heat rushed out in all directions
The knights blocked the sightpiece with their left hand and fired blindly with their guns in their right hand, and a moment later, a series of explosions rang out.
Because the muzzle of the gun had melted, there was a violent collision with the bursting bullets.
Immediately after, with a sharp increase in the brightness of the light, an even hotter flame burst out from all around her.
The asbestos cloth exploded from the surface of the armor, and the air contained in it rapidly expanded under the heat, and then melted the thermal insulation coating on the surface of the power armor.
Some of the knights tried to escape, but the soles of their feet seemed to be stuck to the ground - the weight of the power armor had left them in the melting dirt.
Then the single-phase fusion battery inside their armor also collapsed in the harsh heat, and the chain of explosions almost suppressed the light source in the center for a short time, and the cascading mushroom clouds rose one after another, forming huge and strange black clouds in the air.
"Close your eyes and ears and lie down!" Under Mia's guidance, the Blue Sword team that had just entered the city suddenly saw a dazzling light erupting in front of them, and Asker hurriedly sent a warning.
The girls didn't want to fall to the ground at once (the effect of the usual training can be seen here), and then a huge explosion came, and the whole ground shook violently like an earthquake, and some of the girls felt pain in their chests.
Despite covering their ears with their hands, everyone couldn't hear them clearly for a moment, and their heads were full of buzzing buzzes.
Suddenly, I heard Aske shouting, "Hold your breath!" ”
Immediately after the shock wave of the explosion, a hurricane mixed with trace amounts of radioactive dust swept in, and everyone quickly closed their eyes, pinched their noses and lay on the ground, as if they were washed by the endless wind, and the fine sand and pebbles crackled on their foreheads.
