Perhaps, even Lelouch did not expect that this time the apostle would actually come in such an abrupt way.

Even when there was a civil unrest in Ashford School Park before, and everyone was in a mess, the apostle had no intention of coming.

And it's just now,When Ashford School Park came to the first middle school strongly,Try to succumb to this school with a hidden killer at the critical moment,It's quiet...... appeared in the sky above the "Damocles".

Even at such a high altitude, the huge "halo" was still clearly visible, and the whole body radiated a light that was more dazzling than the sun, as if "Damocles" suddenly put a halo on the top of his head, this time the apostle...... It seems that there has been a great change in form from the previous force angel and bird angel.

This kind of change in form is not just a simple change in appearance in order to distinguish himself from the rest of the apostles, every change in the form of an apostle is inevitably accompanied by a change in ability, and the ability of this apostle is ......

"Boom"

In the sky, the sound of explosions like fireworks drew my attention.

The first thing the apostle came into contact with was not the huge shell of Damocles - for some reason, it seemed that it could not be compared to the area of Damocles that was larger than the ground area of the first middle school, and as the aura slowly fell down the spire, the aura of the outer circle actually began to expand gradually.

Under such an expansion, little by little, the aura that trapped the fortress of Damocles inevitably passed through the "Sunderland" body surrounding the fortress, and in this process, whether it was in contact with the aura body or falling into the plane enveloped by the aura, all the mechs, without exception, exploded in the air and became the first victims.

"Yes...... Is it similar to a combination of physics and energy? But ......"

To be honest, this apostle in the form of an aura may have taken the fortress of Damocles by surprise, but at least until now, the fortress itself, which was wrapped in a green energy shield, was not damaged at all.

"Beware of that aura, everybody"

Knowing that even if I rushed over, it didn't seem to be of much use, but now I simply hovered my body in mid-air, set up the electromagnetic cannon, and waited for that guy Lelouch to take the initiative to connect to my communication.

To be honest, if there is an absolute difference between this guy and Weaving Spotted Yixia, it is definitely what Lu Luxiu has, ignoring any subjective feelings after the overall situation.

In such a situation, I believe that Lelouch will understand who the most important enemy is now, and will strike the war and reconcile with me as soon as possible, and then, with the help of a fortress like Damocles, it will be easier to deal with the apostles.

『…… Do you want to attack?'

"No, Lavra, don't attack the apostles for now, and ......"

For the time being, this slow attack poses no threat to small organisms that can operate at high speeds, and it seems to me that the apostle who appeared after the Angel of Force and the Angel of the Bird could never have had it alone.

Special energy attacks? Teleport shrouded units into another dimension? Or shrink and cut at a critical moment?

In any case, the fortress called Damocles is currently being targeted, and now it ......

Huh?

When the apostle in the shape of a ring expands his body to the thickness of an ordinary cable, and wraps around the very central area of the sword-like jaw of "Damocles......

Broken?

I don't know which part it started, as if it was a spring that was taut to the limit, and the apostle, who had broken off all of a sudden, swayed wildly in the sky, and the trajectory became even more difficult to judge.

"Apostle's energy reaction increases, everyone be careful"

The timely reminder of Xiangyuexihu made my nerves tense all of a sudden.

"That's ...... Lelouch"

Although he had tried to connect the communication and alert the guy in the first place, he ......

It's too late

Lelouch believes in the so-called energy shield too much.

Indeed, the previous shield was completely resistant to the physical and energetic attacks launched by the apostles when they were shrouded, and perhaps it was this that made Lelouch feel that "the fortress of Damocles could handle it" and kept silent.

Perhaps, this guy is just like me, waiting for my compromise to gain the upper hand in the next encounter? But now......

The Apostle, which broke off and turned into a slender cable, rippled in the air at the same time, but silently like a snake, penetrated into the intact green energy shield

From top to bottom, it circled the entire fortress of Damocles, and I could barely believe my eyes when the next scene appeared before my eyes.

Be...... Cutting that ignores defenses? That one...... But what is the killer I have in store for this fortress of Damocles?

The body called the White Knight is best at attacking the body itself, ignoring the energy shield, so this time, the plan I prepared was to "force the White Knight into the shield and open the way to the inside of the fortress".

However, before I could implement it, this seemingly impregnable fortress ...... But it was invaded and attacked by the apostles first

Although it is impossible to see through the green energy shield, it ...... The apostle's cable-like body, which glowed with a blinding white light, was almost entirely trapped in the fortress of Damocles

"The ...... Damn it......

In the communicator, Lu Luxiu's angry voice was suddenly heard.

"How is that possible...... This protective force field...... Obviously, this fortress of Damocles is stronger than the absolute realm...... It's impossible to ...... so lightly."

"How? What about fort damage? Is there a way to break that guy's cut? ”

Although it was quite comforting for me that Lelouch had suffered a loss, I couldn't laugh at all in the face of the apostle whose means of attack were unknown.

"Makoto-san's attack method...... It's not just a physical attack.

After the communication was interrupted for a moment, Lelouch's voice came again, but this time, the young man's voice was obviously a little flustered.

"...... The entire fortress has been eroded...... It's being assimilated and occupied by that guy little by little, if it continues like this......

Erosion and ...... Assimilation? Kasumi Angel's abilities?

Lelouch ...... You guy...... Isn't it possible that even the fortress used in the same way as the Mirage Tower? ”

"It's not just that, it's to control such a huge fortress...... Now as the center of control, it is the brain of Suzaku that has been stripped off by BETA, once this part is also controlled by the apostles......

What's on...... Joke

Combined with the erosion and assimilation abilities of the Angel of Xia, the strange and changeable attacks of the Angel of Force, coupled with the attack method that ignores the energy shield, and the powerful individual formed by combining the abilities possessed by several apostles, is the apostle in front of him who has invaded the "Damocles".

『Makoto-san』

Lelouch's roar forcibly shifted my attention to his voice.

"Makoto-san's words...... There's a way to break through the shield of this fortress, right?'

"Huh?"

"The fortress's defense system...... I'm out of my control.'"

Erode...... Is it spreading so quickly?

In fact, even through the energy shield, using only the naked eye, it can be seen that the parts of the apostle's body wrapped around the fortress of "Damocles" have begun to spread out branches that are different from the metal texture, as if they were forcibly growing flesh tissue.

Is it gradually uniting your body and consciousness with the entire fortress and the brain that is the center of the fortress? Once that happens......

"That's right...... If you don't stop this guy, maybe it's going to be ...... There is a great calamity.'"

…… Even if Lelouch doesn't say it, I can imagine what the next apostles will do.

Bring the entire fortress of Damocles together with the goddess of love...... Airdrop attacks in the form of an empty angel.

Once developed to that kind of Cheng dù, then ...... There is no doubt that the first middle school will become a dust that will not be able to be left with a little bit of dust...... It's as if there's never been a blank space, right?

"I see, Lelouch's words, try to escape from the fortress with Nanali, I'll have someone answer from the outside"

"This one...... I'd like to ask you too.'"

Don't know why...... Lelouch's voice seemed to become rather weak.

"Just think it is...... Give Makoto-san the final test, break into the fortress, and then take Nanali ...... Take it from my hand, and that's the only ...... This kid can be handed over to Makoto with confidence, after all, ......

『…… Brother'

Be...... Nanali's voice?

Although it was only for a moment, it was indeed Nanali's scream coming from Lelouch's side.

『…… After all...... This kid, I'm serious...... I treat it like a sister.'"

This guy ...... What the hell are you doing?

"I've already transmitted the general structure of the fortress to you, Makoto-san, so ...... Next, use this fortress of Damocles as a battlefield to ...... Let's have a final battle.

"Wait a minute, hey? Hello"

Damn Lelouch what kind of contest is he talking about until now...... Now, isn't there no enemy but the apostles? V
