"How's the news scouting?"

After Nangong Nayue suddenly appeared in the office, Yakumo Mo, who was sitting behind the ring table, asked without raising his head.

For Yakumo Mo to occupy his original position, Nayue did not show the slightest dissatisfaction, and jumped up and sat on the table by himself.

Even indoors, the witch in the gap still holds a parasol.

"It's the same as you said before, it's Amazuka Mercury, and his target seems to be Haze."

"This is really not good news, isn't Xia Yinchan about to go to the dormitory training? I remember going out by boat this time......"

"You shouldn't have anything left unfinished, right?"

Sitting on the table in Yakumo's hand, Natsuki looked at him condescendingly.

"It's been many years since I watched that anime, and I've forgotten a lot about it."

The folded folding fan lightly touched his temple, but Yakumo Mo didn't have any worried expression on his face.

"But I know a little, didn't that Tenzuka mercury attack Haze Kensheng, looking for the spiritual blood of the sage? Then, in order to use that thing, he should go to that monastery. ”

"You mean, the monastery that Haze once lived in five years ago has been destroyed?"

"Aha, in fact, the reliefs that are still well preserved in that monastery are actually the spiritual blood of the sages."

"What!?"

Nayue exclaimed, and then exclaimed.

"It's easy to calculate, it's more inconspicuous than to hide it lamely, and hang it out in such a grand way - worthy of Haze Kensheng."

"And then? Did you catch the alchemist? ”

Nangong immediately glanced at Yayun Mo.

"Where is it so easy, that guy is like a loach, all exposed are some doppelgangers who confuse the vision, and the body doesn't know where it is......"

"Well, it's just a common life-saving method for alchemists." Yakumo chuckled indifferently, "But it doesn't matter. Natsuon-chan is always one of his targets, so sooner or later he will show up. ”

Nangong Nayue immediately knocked a fan lightly on the top of Yakumo Mo's head.

"I can't see it, you actually took Xia Yin out as bait, if that little girl found out, it would be sad."

"I'll protect her, of course."

Yakumo snorted angrily.

"It just so happens that they are staying and studying on a boat, and if that Tianzuka mercury appears without knowing whether he is alive or dead, there will be no place to escape from the vast sea, right?"

"It's really scheming......"

"Can I take that as a compliment?"

"Cheeky!"

For Nangong that month's sarcasm. Yakumo just smiled.

◇

Following.

Standing on a huge crane at the harbor pier is Kiki Yase.

"Have you started moving?"

Biting the capsule in his mouth, Kiki Yase whispered to himself.

If you look down from the crane, the surrounding scenery has not changed.

But Yase is an adaptor—a natural supernatural who doesn't rely on magic. His hearing senses were amplified by the increase in potion, and he could sense even the faint vibrations and subtle changes in air pressure that occurred within a radius of several kilometers.

Even the stupidity of the liquid metal lifeforms that infiltrated the underground waterways of the artificial islands was-

"Ahh Captain. The target is coming out of the underground waterway. Detachment 'Green' moved to B7 and detachment 'Green' moved to Area B9. The second squadron cordoned off the seaside park! ”

Using a mini microphone pinned to his chest, Kiki Yase methodically gave instructions.

At the other end of the microphone is the security guard of the SAR Garrison. They have already deployed two squadron-sized combat forces around the perimeter of the port.

"Got it, Heimdallr!"

The captain's voice came from the end of the bone conduction communication.

His voice was mixed with unquenchable rage—anger at the alchemists who manipulated the metal lifeform known as the "Spirit Blood of the Sage" and the alchemists who manipulated it.

The SAR Garrison has lost 12 members of its ranks.

The number of deaths caused by just one group of prisoners is the most horrific in recent years.

The attack on the central stone gate is also good. Whether it was the horrors of the Black Death - even those large-scale international events did not have so many casualties.

Moreover, the prisoners this time are not fighting for faith and glory like the Annihilators of Rotalingia and the Black Death Emperor. It's a despicable thief who steals a sealed magic guide for his own desires. So many of my friends were killed by such opponents. This fact fueled the captain's anger.

Morale is good, but it's bad if you lose your cool.

"It's not going well......"

Kiki Yase, who was keenly aware of this, sighed.

"Hey, hey, the 'Sage's Spirit Blood' is rampage. It's getting more and more interesting......"

From the frowning communicator on Yase's wrinkled chest came a synthesized voice with a slightly sarcastic tone.

The artificial intelligence named Mogu Crooked - the sound of a five-base supercomputer that controls all the urban functions of the island of the gods.

It seems to have plugged into the wireless without permission.

"Nothing like that."

Yaseki replied lazily.

"What about the Commune? What's the news? ”

"The witch of the gap has been notified, but judging from the recent situation, it should be the youkai next to her who should handle this matter."

"Yakumo ......"

Softly pronounced the name, Yase Kiki remembered the demon that he couldn't see through anyway - youkai.

"Don't worry, leave other places aside, this is the 'Demon Special Zone'. Even if it's against an immortal, self-proliferating life. There are also many ways to make it lose its power. For example, banishing him to another dimension, or destroying him with the magic of a beast or something—"

"That's because I know that. The aristocratic talents of the War King Realm were not interested in this, but waited and watched from the sidelines. ”

"I guess so. That said, it's good for us. ”

"Anyway, it seems to have begun."

"Hmm."

Following Moko's crooked voice, Kiki Yase looked down.

The asphalt was destroyed, and from the sewer came a shiny lump of liquid metal.

Warehouses in the harbor area are stocked with large quantities of steel and precious metals brought in from outside the island.

Therefore, it is not difficult to speculate that metal life bodies appear here in order to feed on these heavy metals.

The "Sage's Spiritual Blood" moves by changing the position of the center of gravity through the guò's own transformation, thus moving forward in the form of a roll. It's not fast. Like a drop of water on glass, it vibrates and moves irregularly.

But the metal lifeform that appeared in front of everyone's eyes was the size of a medium-sized truck. The mass is also estimated to be hundreds of tons.

The size and quality alone is already quite a threat.

The improvised barricades erected by the SAR garrison have been overwhelmed by the metal lifeforms and destroyed with ease.

Bullets, mines, gas, and high voltage. Almost no effect is seen on unshaped liquid metals.

"I expected the physical attack to not work, but I didn't expect the spell enchantment to work."

Kiki Yase said unhappily as he looked at the wreckage of the destroyed magic array.

New troops have been deployed on the path of the metal lifeforms.

Instead of roadblocks, on the way to intercept are armored vehicles resembling fire trucks.

Although it is a type of high-pressure water that can release dozens of times the air pressure, it is capable of dealing with indestructible metal lifeforms. It is also difficult to imagine that this kind of water flow will have an effect.

However, the liquid emanating from the cannon body was wrapped around a cold aura that instantly produced a white mist.

At the same time, the magic array that appeared on the road trapped the metal lifeform in an ultra-low temperature cage.

"I see. Freeze it up and stop it from moving forward......"

A voice rang out beside Kiki Yase.

Sitting on the railing, Yakumo Mo, who was holding a folding fan, looked down at the metal lifeforms that were gradually being frozen below.

"Not a bad idea."

"Yo, Yakumo-sensei!"

Yase Kiki, who already had a certain understanding of Yakumo Mo's elusiveness, was not surprised, and said hello as he usually met on the street or at school.

Glancing at Yase Kiki, Yakumo said lazily: "That medicine, don't take too much, no matter what, it's not good to take medicine after all-aren't you afraid of any sequelae that will affect Xinfu's life in the future?" ”

"You don't need to worry about this teacher......"

Kiki Yase snorted.

“…… I'm not the eldest son, so there's no pressure to pass on the lineage. ”

When mentioning the identity of the non-eldest son again, a complicated look flashed in Yase Kiki's eyes.

[It seems that this person also has some different thoughts about his brother]

Glancing at Kiki Yase, Yakumo's gaze returned to the bottom.

The surface of the liquid metal, which had a pitch-black sheen, was now covered with a layer of hoarfrost.

The frozen body loses its mobility, and the tentacles used for attacks cannot be extended.

"It's a combination of minus 196 degrees of liquid nitrogen and freezing magic. Although it is made of alchemy, its essence is nothing more than metal. The 'Sage's Spiritual Blood' can't ignore the effects of physical phenomena. ”

Kiki Yase explained in an indifferent tone.

"It's really light enough to end......"

There was a hint of uninteresting emotion conveyed in the electronic synthesized sound of Mogu Crooked.

"Well, don't underestimate this thing......"

Yakumo suddenly laughed, and the folded folding fan pointed at the metal lifeform below.

"How many Brave Squads were wiped out with the boss's blood remnants?"

"You mean—"

Kiki Yase was about to say something when a loud roar suddenly came from below.

Then, the man in the red and white striped hat crossed the guard, which had been staggered by the sudden attack, and was walking towards the frozen metal lifeform.

It's Amazuka mercury. (To be continued......)
