Chapter Ninety-Three: Night on the Cliff of Zuan
In order to investigate the scene of the final fire, Jeno arrives at Starfire Alley.
Very few people venture down to the fog boundaries of Starfire Lane, as this place is close to the cliffs, and it is easy for people who are not familiar with this place to accidentally step on the air and fall off the cliffs in the thick fog.
Through the thick haze, at the end of the alley, he saw an old house built on the edge of a cliff that still glowed.
The light from the old house is as faint as a spark, which matches the name Spark Alley.
"This family doesn't sleep in the middle of the night and turns on the lights, aren't they afraid of attracting the attention of the bad guys?"
Jeno walked towards the old house with doubts, and as the distance drew in, he found something strange at the door of the house.
A figure sat on the ground, with his back against the tall iron door of the old house, motionless, as if asleep.
"Why do you sleep here? It can't be a corpse, right? ”
Jeno walked quickly towards the figure, and the sound of gurgling air was heard, it was an enhanced person, his chin was replaced by an alloy mask, and many tubes were sticking out of the base of his neck to connect to his back, and the alchemical liquid flowing inside glowed green.
Since the augmentation device is still functioning, it can be determined that the person is not dead.
Jeno stretched out his fingers to prop open his eyelids, his gaze blank and blank, as if he had seen it anywhere.
Just as he was recalling, Hex's warning and the alarm of the old house suddenly sounded at the same time, and then the person in front of him stretched out his hands and clamped his arms!
He finally remembered - such an expression that only Victor's alchemy slaves could have!
Dense and neat footsteps rang out, and Jeno kicked the alchemy slave down, then broke free and quickly retreated.
Immediately after, in the sound of the alarm, the gate was suddenly pushed open, and the alchemy slave lying in the door was pushed by the iron door, rolling on the rough and uneven ground, grinding out the blood marks by the edges and corners of the stones, and then rolling down the cliff without saying a word.
Ten mechanical soldiers in each row ran out quickly, lined up, and stood all over the street. Loaded with all kinds of alchemical devices, with fierce mechanical prosthetic eyes and guns, they seem to be much stronger than the autonomous robots of the Philos family.
Jeno's face was gloomy, now he had a cliff behind him and an old house on his side, and the only way to retreat was also blocked by this group of mechanical soldiers.
"You're finally here." An emotionless sound of metal resonance rang out, not from any of the mechanical soldiers, but from the direction of the old house.
Victor was dressed in metallic leather and a patchwork cape, standing on the steps against the light, looking much taller than he had seen when he first met.
He held a one-man tall staff, the Hextech Core MK-3, and the energy crystal glowed with a dazzling light at the tip of the staff.
Victor slowly descended the steps, the weight of the metal making his steps heavy and slow, but unsteady.
He raised his staff at Jano, and the energy siphon ripped a hole in his shirt, exposing the hex core of his chest to Victor's vision, and Jeno immediately felt a sharp gaze lock on his chest, as if confirming something.
"Jeno, give me your crystal."
Victor spoke again, and Jeno's heart sank to the bottom.
"Victor, when did you bribe Zavel and get him to give me the wrong information and lure me here."
Even with the crystal armor covering all corners of his body, Jeno's sense of danger did not diminish by half a minute, and Hex's core was running at high speed, constantly vibrating and humming.
His brain was running at high speed, and the alchemy slave just now reminded him of Jace's attack, and it must have been at that time that he used the Hex core to destroy the minotaur and save Catelyn, so that Victor found out that he had an Primordial Crystal.
Originally, I just wanted to find some crystal fragments, but I didn't expect to find a big treasure, in order to realize the great ideal of the glorious evolution of all mankind, Victor set his sights on Jeno's crystal.
This is what happened when Victor then convinces Zavel to trick Jeno into Spark Alley, relying on his own being the creator of the glorious theory of evolution and the truth believed in by the Order.
Damn it! was actually calculated by Victor without knowing it!
However, Jeno would never give the crystal to Victor, which would be tantamount to asking him to give up his life, absolutely impossible!
"Get ready to dedicate your life to science."
Victor also saw this, and instead of answering Jeno, he decided to grab the crystal, so he waved his staff and made the mechanical soldier shoot and set fire.
"Victor, aren't you a human being either? Started to rob openly? ”
Jeno screamed, raised his arm to block his eyes, he couldn't move at all under such a dense rain of bullets, even though his legs were tightly gripping the ground, his body was still forced back by the gunfire, getting closer and closer to the cliff.
The bullet landed on the crystal armor, and although it could not be directly penetrated, the constant flying crystal debris and the pain-like raindrops made him nervous, and he did his best to promote the generation of the crystal armor.
Through Hex's energy-enhanced eyes, Jeno saw through the gunfire that the mechanical soldiers' magazines were half empty, and the moment they emptied their magazines, it was time for him to fight back!
Jeno thinks that his strength is a little stronger than Jace, and although Victor has an extra staff, his strength will never surpass Camille's.
And Jeno is a character who can catch the white blade with his bare hands in the battle and grab Camille's scissor legs, although the next move is thrown away by the big windmill...... But it's definitely an existence that can live two tricks with Victor!
Waiting for the last bullet to tilt against the crystal armor, Jeno kicked the tor on the cliff and quickly rushed to the gate of the old house.
Capture the thief and capture the king first, not to mention that you Victor is a mage, not a heavy warrior, and his melee ability is definitely not as good as Jeno.
When Jeno stepped into the door with one foot, the folding gravity field that Victor had placed in the door in advance suddenly popped out and expanded, Jeno felt as uncomfortable as hanging a scale, and the gravity was still increasing, his feet sank, the inertia was still there, and he immediately fell down in embarrassment, but fortunately, the crystal armor protected him.
The force field is basically the common ability of the original crystal, Camille's ultimatum, Jace's lightning field, Ike's time staggering, Victor's gravity field, and Jeno's strangulation force field are all manifestations of converting Hex's energy into force fields.
As for Caitlyn and Vi's weapons, they use artificial crystals, so they don't have this ability.
After using the force field many times, Jeno also has some patience with this kind of thing, and although the crystal armor can't resist gravity, Jeno has not lost his ability to move.
Hex's core pulsated with a shimmer of light and began to counteract gravity, and Jeno gradually stood up and began to accelerate towards Victor.
Victor's face was expressionless, and his third hand was raised and opened, and the palm of his hand was facing Jeno, and a piercing ray of death shot out.
