Suzaku was a stranger to Knightmare rushing towards him.

But now is not the time to care about this.

Suzaku clenched the lever hard.

Red Knightmare slammed in.

He controlled Lancelot's body to slide slightly to the side and kicked it from the side. There is also a sandboard in the shape of a surfboard on the feet.

Of course, he didn't think the fight would end so easily, but he didn't expect the blow to be perfectly blocked. It was a silver claw that had been bent in a strange arc—a cloud of light welling up from the center.

"Ah......h

At this time, Suzaku finally showed a nervous expression on his face. But at the time of the collision, Sandboard had already been removed from the leg. Subsequently.

The sandboard in the opponent's claws began to expand from the inside, and exploded.

- What is that weapon?

The same question popped up in his mind as Cornelia. But unlike Cornelia, he didn't stop there.

Suzaku's variable-munition anti-blaster gun, the VARIS, fires from the rear towards the red Knightmare. But the energy has been turned to a minimum, and it is in convergent mode. Unlike the previous great power that ran through the valley, because there was no need.

After that—

At this moment, Suzaku was really taken aback.

He thought he was going to hit.

Even from the point of view of timing, it should be foolproof.

But the first shot fired from the muzzle of the VARIS was easily dodged. The second and third shots followed, without exception, they passed by the enemy and could not hit the target from left to right.

"How could it be ......!"

He couldn't help but exclaim.

"Match the speed of Lancelot!?"

The red Knightmare picked up speed and snaking towards himself.

"Ha~ It's very powerful, the enemy's new mech."

The one who sighed was Lloyd, who was staring at the image of his death sent through Lancelot.

However, Lloyd is the only one who can make such an exaggerated reaction.

Cecil's eyes widened beside him and he said in disbelief.

"Could it be...... The enemy also has the Yggdrasill System? ”

"Hmm~Well~"

Lloyd remained unchanged.

"It's still a little different from the analysis of individual actions, well, but it's not sure that the other party doesn't. It can only be said that the direction of the design idea part is somewhat different...... Judging by the radiation fluctuations in its arms, it must be Lakshata. ”

"Now you still have the leisure to do analysis!"

Cecil glared fiercely at Lloyd.

"Open the communication! Help Suzaku ......"

Lloyd frowned.

"I don't think it's necessary~"

"But ......!"

"It's okay, it's okay, you can't lose at this level, Suzaku and my Lancelot."

These words finally made Cecil, who was about to operate the trackpad, stop what he was doing.

She looked back with some surprise.

"You're confident."

"Really? But as I said before, he's the best part. Otherwise, the opportunity to use him for combat data is very rare, how could I choose him. ”

"Ha ......"

"Still, to be precise, he should be close to the best part."

As soon as the words fell, Lloyd suddenly said regretfully for some reason.

"If only I didn't have that...... I wanted to improve it before, but you messed it up before the launch~"

"What?"

In a strange look of resentment, Cecil froze.

The battle between Lancelot and Red Lotus has not yet been decided.

"You guy! Still just as dishonest! ”

Shooting down the "poisonous anchor" that was attacking him, Hua Lian manipulated the red lotus to run up.

"Woo......"

Suzaku's Lancelot dodged the claws of radiation waves that reached out to him.

Although the battle may seem like an equal strength between the two sides, in reality, there is a decisive difference between the two.

What is that?

It's a matter of will.

Upon closer inspection, it can be seen that the purpose of Red Lotus's actions is to completely destroy Lancelot, while on the contrary, Lancelot's movements are somewhat unnatural.

Maybe he didn't have that intention.

Yes.

In other words, at this stage, Suzaku did not fight to kill the other party.

It's not that you don't get mentally prepared. Suzaku is a soldier and has experience in killing...... Of course. He would not refuse to kill if it was necessary.

But on the flip side, he wouldn't have done it if it wasn't necessary.

In the Battle of Knightmare, this method of warfare was often used by teenagers. He doesn't actively destroy the cockpit, but destroys the legs to block the opponent's movements, or destroys the arms, and attacks the head with a sensor-like camera to take away the opponent's "eyes".

Naivety – maybe he shouldn't be seen that way. Importantly, it is precisely because of this and winning that it reflects the skill of the driver and the outstanding performance of the Lancelot. At least, it illustrates both of these points.

But Suzaku is also about to reach its limit.

The red Knightmare in front of him is no ordinary enemy, and if he is not careful, he will be killed.

Just as he thought this—

Suzaku's gaze suddenly became calm, and his expression disappeared from his face.

Red Lotus raised his silver claw again, trying to rush over and stab into the opponent's body, but almost identically, Lancelot pulled his sword from his waist.

It was a sword that shimmered red.

The official name - MVS, Microwave Vibration Sword.

At the moment when the red lotus entered the attack range, Lancelot swung his sword sideways towards the red mech, and the trajectory of the sword was extremely precise and extremely fast. However, the Red Lotus Second Style, which also reacted unusually, still caught the sword with its claws, and then released radiation fluctuations. And Suzaku had long expected that the other party would block his attack.

He aimed the muzzle of the VARIS at very close range.

"Hmm!"

Karen reflexively raised her claws to protect the body. Subsequently, energy bombs and radiation fluctuations were liberated one after another. The two different energies collided at zero distance, and the entire space suddenly let out a mournful roar.

"Blocked!?"

At this moment, Suzaku, who was sitting in the cockpit of Lancelot, couldn't help but exclaim.

However, it is impossible for the opponent to completely resist this blow.

Electric sparks. The reaction force generated by the colliding energies exploded in an instant at the right arm of the Red Lotus Two. The joints that could not bear the load were suddenly blown to pieces. And during the battle between the two sides, at some point, the earth cracked, and the crack had spread to the valley, and the ground under the feet of the Red Lotus suddenly sank.

"Wow!"

As if sucked into the collapsed ground, the Red Lotus lost its balance and plunged headlong into the depths of the canyon.

"Fan, what about the Red Lotus Style!?"

Lelouch shouted from the rogue cockpit.

An answer came from the communicator immediately.

“…… Ah, ah, the right arm is not working, although it can still move. ”

Lelouch bit his lip violently.

Is the Red Lotus Two Formula also finished?

In addition, the situation here is not good.

The scoundrel's main screen shows the Cornelia Gloucester who shoots a "poison anchor" from his chest while running. Ever since the Red Lotus had been engaged with the white Knightmare, it had been desperately charging at Lelouch's scoundrels.

Although he lost both arms, he was still quite strong. Although he doesn't want to admit it, there is still a gap between Lelouch and her, after all, the other party is Britain's premier driver, the second princess Cornelia. Kalian's Red Lotus Second Style is just fine, and her own scoundrel is really difficult to match her.

Damn it.

And it was given ——!

But this man named Lelouch V. Britannia's boy, however, has clearly understood that he cannot be in love.

The ace can only be dealt with by the ace, and the red lotus on the side of the Black Knights has lost its ability to fight, and there is no one who can restrain this white Knightmare. It's just that they still have that hole card in the hand, so it's the jade that wanders near the battlefield!

Jade! Where are you?

Lelouch clenched the joystick anxiously and prepared to start running.
