Chapter 396: The Body of Steel
Is the opponent a mechanical body......
Looking at Bart who walked into the ring, Drake, who was already standing in the ring, couldn't help frowning. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Since Karen is also well-known in the Stanfield family, of course Caterina knows that Karen's demon is a mechanical warrior from the machine world, plus Bart, who is also a "mechanical general", Catalina will naturally make Drake and others under her command ready to deal with the mechanical body.
Even so, Drake, who knew how difficult those powerful mechs could be, was still a little embarrassed when he found out that his opponent was Bart.
Since the opponent is a mechanical body, then shock skills such as battle cry are useless, and control skills such as tendon breaking and bone removal are meaningless, plus there is no stiffness and numbness of the steel body like having the hegemony technique...... It's a real headache.
Embarrassed, Drake still slowly raised the giant sword in his hand and made a defensive gesture.
After discovering that his opponent was a warrior, Bart who stepped into the ring suddenly narrowed his eyes and whispered, "Form Transformation - Melee Mode!" ”
With Bart's whisper, the armor on her body suddenly changed from her usual blue-white to crimson, and the armor on her back flipped outward, popping out two long swords.
After reaching out to catch the sword, Bart took the initiative to charge towards Drake.
"Boom!"
"Dio, do you think Bart can win that fighter?"
Aisha, who was sitting in the audience, asked Dio next to her softly: "Now it seems that she has the upper hand!" ”
"It's hard to say right now."
Dio shook his head slightly, and explained, "In a one-on-one situation, the best person to fight against the machine is a mage like you or a priest who uses divine magic, followed by a fighter with heavy weapons like this warrior in the ring. ”
"There's no armor, it's really invulnerable. Mechanical bodies are either afraid of acid etching, electric shock, or high temperatures, and will always have their weaknesses. So with the right approach, even casters of a much lower rank than the automatons can easily knock down those mechs. ”
"In contrast, the fighters have a lot more problems to face."
"Because the automata don't get tired, if it turns into a war of attrition, it will be very disadvantageous for those who have limited physical strength, so they can only fight quickly."
"However, if you choose to hit it hard, you will have to be careful of the numbness in your arms caused by the shock effect of hitting a hard object! So they can't be too hard. ”
"The best thing to do is to shoot at the weaker parts of the armor such as the joints of the mechanical body, like this warrior on the field."
"The thing is, Bart will naturally guard against this, so that fighter is very difficult to hand."
"And if he can't break through Bart's defense in a short period of time and successfully destroy one of Bart's joints, then he will definitely lose."
Aisha blinked and said with a smile, "So, Bart has a big advantage, right?" ”
"The advantage is great, and if you don't fight to the end, you can't say that Bart will win."
Dio said very calmly: "What's more, the other party hasn't opened his hole cards yet." ”
At this moment, Drake, who had already fought against Bart several times, finally made a move.
After these rounds of fighting, Drake has already tested Bart's general strength. After determining the strength of his opponent, Drake, who was quite experienced in combat, quickly had a countermeasure.
After blocking Bart's heavy slash with his giant sword again, Drake's eyes froze, and he suddenly erupted with an unusually strong fighting spirit.
Relying on the increase in vindictive energy, Drake suppressed Bart with brute force and successfully pushed Bart back a step!
As Bart leaned back, Drake, who had been given a chance to strike, let out a loud shout, and then grabbed his greatsword and slashed towards the ground.
Ground Crack Slash!
Under Drake's heavy slash, starting from the giant sword he slashed, a large amount of fighting energy directly broke through the surface of the ring and rushed towards Bart.
Although this kind of vindictive impact was not enough to overturn Bart, the broken ring temporarily limited Bart's range of movement!
Seeing that after performing the Earth Split, Drake immediately raised his big sword and rushed over, and Bart, who weighed the pros and cons, directly chose to jump.
"Not good! Bart hits the trick! ”
Dio, who watched this scene, frowned.
Without waiting for Aisha to ask, Drake on the field showed his plan with actions.
As Bart jumped, Drake also jumped up decisively, and the giant sword in his hand slashed directly at Bart's waist.
Glancing at Drake, Bart, who has the ability to fly, chose to dodge. But just as the thrusters behind her began to spew out air, Drake's feet also spewed out a large amount of fighting energy.
Derek, who temporarily gained the ability to stay in the air by releasing a large amount of fighting energy, rushed in front of Bart at an extremely fast speed, and the giant sword in his hand slashed directly at Bart's head.
Even though Bart immediately parried with her twin swords, the tremendous force knocked her out of the air and sent her straight back into the broken ring.
Looking at Bart who had fallen between the rubble, Drake took a deep breath and held the sword-facing giant sword in his hand, and the whole person suddenly fell towards Bart as quickly as a meteor falling.
Intermediate Sword Technique: Falling Spike!
The giant sword that stabbed down quickly directly opened the long sword that Bart raised and plunged heavily into Bart's chest!
Aisha, who was in the audience, suddenly subconsciously covered her mouth and covered the exclamation that was about to blurt out.
Dio, who was sitting next to her, shook his head helplessly and sighed: "Although Bart's melee strength is not weak, he still lacks a lot of experience in swordsmanship and tactics. ”
"Why, what should I do, Dio! Bart was hit! ”
Aisha, who put down her hand, asked a little nervously, "I don't know if she is seriously injured?" ”
"Don't worry, Bart is fine."
Dio whispered, "That's not where Bart is at stake. ”
As Bart's owner, Dio can contact Bart at any time, so he knows very well that Bart, who seems to be seriously injured, is actually fine.
As if to verify Dio's words, Bart, who had a giant sword stuck in her chest, casually raised her long sword and stabbed it at Drake, who was standing on top of her.
Taken aback, Drake immediately planned to pull back, but when he tried to pull out his greatsword, it seemed to have taken root, and he couldn't pull it out no matter how he pulled it out!
In desperation, facing the long sword that was getting closer and closer, Drake could only let go of his love sword with a depressed face, and quickly retreated.
"The winner is decided."
Dio in the audience said with emotion: "That warrior must be very aggrieved." ”
Of course he was depressed, obviously he had the upper hand and successfully knocked Bart to the ground, but because he didn't hit the vital point, Bart still had the power to fight back, and the weapon couldn't be recovered at the critical moment......
At this moment, Drake is really about to hold back his internal injuries.
However, even after being completely defeated, Drake still did not give up the idea of fighting. He dodged Bart's attacks while trying to reclaim his greatsword.
However, Bart at this time was naturally not stupid enough to return the greatsword to her.
Bart pulled out the greatsword in his chest, then took it in his hand and began to greet him with Drake's weapon.
This again made Drake want to die of depression.
"Dio, is Bart really okay?"
Looking at Bart, who began to press Drake, Aisha asked with some concern, "Her wound is smoking!" ”
In fact, not only was there smoke coming from Bart's wound, but Drake, who was closest to him, could see that electric sparks were constantly spewing out of Bart's wound, and Bart's electronic eyes were also bright and dark, as if they might fall down at any moment.
It is precisely because of this notice that Drake, who has not lost his fighting spirit, will grit his teeth and continue to persevere.
"Don't worry, she's really fine."
Dio comforted her, "In fact, the blow just now not only failed to hit Bart hard, but gave her a good chance." ”
"Good chance?"
Aisha blinked, and then said with a look of surprise: "Could it be that the opponent couldn't pull out the weapon just now, but it wasn't an accident?" ”
"That's right, it's actually because Bart did it."
Dio nodded and said, "The moment she was hit, Bart probably mobilized the parts near the wound and directly stuck the opponent's weapon, which would cause the opponent to not be able to pull out his giant sword." ”
Of course, Bart actually caused a lot of damage to some parts of his body. But the advantage of being an automata is that as long as the power cores and main processors are not destroyed, Bart can continue to fight.
"If Bart isn't all right, she's ...... now"
Looking at Bart, who was obviously a little sluggish, Aisha asked with some hesitation.
"You guessed it, she's showing weakness."
Dio smiled wryly and said, "I don't know who taught her to do this." ”
Teresa, who had been listening to the conversation between Dio and Aisha, smiled but did not speak.
Bart's reason for showing weakness is actually very simple: because this is a ring match.
As long as Bart doesn't fall, she can continue to fight another of Katerina's subordinates after defeating Drake. Even, if the second opponent is still defeated by Bart, she can continue to face the next opponent until she falls.
Because of this, in order to confuse the opponent in the next game, Bart, who is actually not in any big trouble, will pretend to be seriously injured to weaken the opponent's vigilance.
"Will it be useful to do this?"
Aisha asked in a low voice.
"Useful is useful, but it can only be used once."
Dio shrugged: "Actually, I think it's a bit of a waste to expose this trick now." ”
"There's no way around it."
Teresa, who had been sitting quietly on the other side of Aisha, suddenly spoke: "Even if Bart didn't use this move in this battle, everyone will still realize this when she is completely knocked out by the enemy." ”
As long as Bart shows what she's capable of, her opponent will never let her guard down again, whether she's injured or not.
Just as Dio and the others were discussing Bart, Bart in the ring finally knocked out Drake.
Looking at Drake, who was carried down by the doctors, Caterina who was sitting at the other end muttered for a moment before saying, "Vivian, it's up to you to do the next one!" ”
A smiling sorceress slowly stood up and saluted Caterina before slowly stepping into the ring.
"You look badly wounded, don't you plan to surrender directly?"
Vivien, whose eyes fell on Bart's smoking wound, seemed to be kind enough to persuade: "If you continue to fight like this, you may be scrapped directly!" ”
Bart just shook his head slowly.
"Okay then."
Vivien, who sighed, immediately began to sing.
According to the rules of the ring match, the magicians who enter the arena can chant a defensive magic with less than five rings before starting the battle.
With no one to disturb her, Vivien quickly finished chanting. And what she released was the ice-based three-ring magic ice shield.
The blue and white light quickly converged into three magic shields, which flew quietly around her under Vivien's control.
At the moment when Vivien finished her magic, Bart suddenly let out a low voice, "Form Shift - Shelling Mode!" ”
"Apply to lift the restrictions!"
"Energy Output Limit...... Relieve! ”
Listening to the words that came out of Bart's mouth, Vivien's eyes suddenly tightened, and she immediately began to sing in a very uneasy heart.
However, Bart, who quickly transformed into shelling mode, was ready for everything at this moment!
"Target Lock--Full Launch!"
With a flash of light in his eyes, the armor of his whole body began to turn red rapidly, and Bart completely ignored the abnormality on his body, and raised his weapon towards Vivien with a calm expression.
"Woohoo! Whew......"
"Dada......"
"Bang! Bang! Bang......"
Countless bullets, shells, and missiles, as well as grenades, were overwhelmingly cast on Vivien. And Vivien only had time to chant a protective spell before she was completely overwhelmed by the massive amount of ammunition.
Bart fired with all her might, bombarding for nearly ten minutes before stopping, firing a large amount of various ammunition at her feet, and the ring that was originally just smashed by Drake with a big crack was blown up quite damaged by this wave of explosion.
Vivien, who had been attacked by Bart for so long, fell quietly in a pile of ice chips.
Relying on the ice barrier that was cast in time, Vivien successfully saved a small life, but in the past few months, she was probably quite seriously injured, and she could only honestly recuperate......
At this moment, looking at Bart standing quietly on the field, most of the people were dumbfounded.
It wasn't until Bart, whose armor was smoking, slowly walked out of the ring, and the venue, which had become very quiet since she began to fire with all her might, began to sound one after another.
