The SAR Garrison, the Xianshen City Special Demon Mobile Team, and the Demon Incidents that happened on the island were all handled by them. Usually armed with large-caliber mana projectiles and "Amberkin" warheads capable of paralyzing orcs, they also have armed unmanned helicopters and mortars. The combat effectiveness is one of the best in the world. It is the greatest guarantee for Xianshen City against demon terrorists.

The SAR garrison held by Xianshen Island has three brigades of about 440 people. And one of the brigades is often stationed at the central stone gate to do security work. Its personnel also includes a squad of sixteen Attackers. That's enough to match the entire number of Demon Attackers held by the mid-sized county police headquarters.

However, the reason why such a large number of personnel are invested here is because the guards of the central stone gate anticipate a large-scale attack by a terrorist organization.

On top of the calculations, these forces are said to be able to hold out for days even against a squadron-sized orc corps of the Night Empire.

But such a powerful combat force could not stop the invasion of the two people. The crowd was greatly shocked when only two intruders had dealt with the guards and had broken into the door.

A few hours, Astarot, Ludoluf? Oistaha and the others broke through the closed compartment of the tenth layer under the surface of the sea and were walking towards the middle level of the stone gate.

"Completed the order, the seal that sealed the compartment has been broken." Wrapped in the armor of the curly beast, Astarut said majestically.

The current form of Astarut is that of a giant about four meters tall whose whole body is wrapped in armor that glows with rainbow light. The moment its giant finger touched the closed compartment. The seven-layer barrier that guarded the closed compartment was completely destroyed.

That's because of the vibrational wave drive of the Godhead engraved on the astarot in action. The artificial beast "Rose's Fingertips", which has become one with her, is capable of neutralizing any magical power and is capable of tearing apart enchantments. This is a reference to the technology that the Lion King mechanism has been practical, and it is the strongest demon attack technique. A technique that neutralizes mana.

Although this technology is still not perfect for Astarout, it is still very short compared to the real Godhead's vibrational wave driving spell 'DOE', which can neutralize magic and thus cut through any enchantment, and the only ace in the world that has been successfully used by the Lion King to deal with demons. But it's enough to destroy these barriers.

And this power is none other than the annihilation teacher Ludolul? Something Oistaha has been craving. In order to fulfill his long-cherished wish, this power that can destroy the barrier is really necessary.

"Let's go, Astarout. What we crave. Right in front of this. "Be the first to step over the ruined compartment, Ludolus? Oistaha shouted excitedly.

"Orders are promised." Astarout, who was embraced by the humanoid beast, muttered emotionlessly.

Passed over the destroyed compartment. From here, go to the middle part of the twenty-five floors below the surface of the sea. All of them are under the jurisdiction of the artificial island management company, and the control of electricity, communications, and water purification facilities is all carried out here.

If you do damage to this area, you will be able to give the citizens of String God Island a serious damage situation.

For example, stopping the power supply can be fatal to critically ill patients in hospitals. And in this hot summer on the island of Xianshen, food preservation will be a problem. As an artificial product, there are no natural rivers on this island. Therefore, if the water purification facilities are stopped, it will have an impact on people's drinking water. And even if you want to get out of the island, it is located in the ocean about 300 kilometers from the mainland. It is impossible to evacuate all 560,000 people on the island in a short period of time.

Because of this, the area is often an easy target for terrorists, and the corresponding security has been strengthened to cope with this.

Waiting for the Annihilator and Astarut to break through to the middle level are the most elite units of the SAR garrison, two detachments of the Demon Attacker Squad plus a squadron of the Heavy Mobile Unit.

It's not that I don't want to deploy a little more troops, but these troops are enough as a matter of common sense. After all, there are really not many Lu Shen who can directly hit this artificial island like Zheng Shuanglong, not counting Zheng Shuanglong and his party. The entire blood-devouring attack on the world is only possible with the four True Ancestors.

And the words of the True Ancestor descended. No matter how many people there are, there is no point in the fact that in the face of absolutely powerful forces, quantity does not represent quality. If it was really the True Ancestor attack, there was no point in making any preparations, but if it wasn't the True Ancestor attack, these members should be able to support until the support arrived. If these troops can't even hold on to the support for this little time, then there is no point in providing more support.

However, who would have thought of encountering a freak like Astarot, an artificial lifeform that harnesses a beast whose magic is neutralized. In this city where almost all buildings are blessed with magic, the destructive power of Astarut is very amazing. It can be said that it is a natural enemy-like power.

"Well, it's a good way to deal with emergencies, so I guess I'm well trained." Looking at these battle-hardened elite combat members of String God City, Ludo Lufu? Oistaha couldn't help but admire.

However, such an elite would not be able to stop the advance of Teacher Jillary and Astarout, otherwise, Teacher Jan would not have such an interest in admiring anything.

The guards aimed at the Annihilator and Astarut, who were coming down from the passage, and began to fire a salvo.

These are all mana bullets used against the demons, and if you eat these, even if the annihilation teacher is wearing an armored strengthening suit, he will not be able to stay unharmed.

Hiding in the corner of the wall to avoid the direct attack, Teacher Jan commented in a calm tone: "But, it's useless. Annihilate them, Astarout. ”

"Take the order, do it, 'Rose's fingertips.'" The humanoid curly beast that shone with a rainbow light struck the mobile team members who were constantly shooting.

That's a completely unimaginable agility from its appearance. Then the Roll Beast swept through them with its overwhelming force, shattering the barrier protecting the Mobile Crew like a weak glass. And they were unsuspecting, and they were shot away without suspense.

The guards are shooting spell bullets, spell bullets that can be defeated even by the powerful body of the demons, and they are powerful equipment for humans to fight against demons. But this kind of weapon is so powerless in front of Astarout. After the magic power is neutralized, this terrifying spell bullet, a powerful weapon that makes the demons disgusted, is so powerless, and the power is not as powerful as an ordinary bullet. How could this kind of thing have an effect on the body of Astarout, who was wrapped in a beast. All of the spell rounds were bounced off by Astarut.

Having judged that the normal mana bullet was completely ineffective, the attackers fired their ballistas at Astaroth. It was supposed to be a siege weapon that shot out small javelins. However, by storing mana on the tip of the spear, it can become a powerful weapon against demons. Due to its ability to deal lethal damage with a single hit against werewolves and vampires, its use is even restricted by treaties. The javelin, which shone with a dim light, struck the humanoid curly beast at a speed comparable to that of a bullet.

But. Like a spell bullet, it was ineffective for Astarot, and it was simply bounced off like a raindrop.

At that unbelievable sight, the attackers stopped in amazement.

The battle scene that was originally like fire was instantly quiet. Just the teacher's arrogant laughter.

A beast that is a collection of magical power. You won't be hurt if you don't have to touch each other with more powerful magic. However, Astarout's current beast, Rose's Fingertips, is able to nullify all attacks with magical power and reflect them back. No one else was able to stop the beast, and its host, Astarout. At least the guards in front of them had no way.

Although the attackers continued to resist, they had no chance of winning with their strongest weapons neutralized. The Rolling Beasts of Astarut annihilated them all with their overwhelming strength. It was a one-sided devastation.

"Well, that's a pretty good judgment." Probably realizing that it was the Teacher Annihilator who commanded Astarot, the few surviving Demon Attackers launched a direct attack on the Teacher Annihilator.

"But slow moves like this can't defeat me." Teacher Jan smiled magnificently and began to meet them.

Using the enhanced arm strength of the armor reinforcement suit, he wielded the all-metal half-moon axe and swept it towards the demon attackers of the garrison. He was also a magician who was named after the Teacher in Lotharingia. Its strength is much higher than that of the average national demon attacker. If it weren't. How could this ritual of retrieving the holy relics make Ludolul fright? Ouistaha execution.

"Is that mostly solved?" Looking back at the posture of the completely destroyed garrison, Ludolul? Oistaha said coldly.

In a burst of bullets. And under the traces of the destruction of the Rolling Beast, the floor that became a battlefield has now turned into a miserable scene like ruins. More than sixty elite troops, all of whom were seriously wounded and fell to the ground. There were no more people here except for the two intruders.

The relics are not far in front of them, and after retrieving them, all the inhabitants of this island will have the same fate. The island of the String God, a place of broken promises created by sinners, is about to sink to the bottom of the sea. The resistance was dismantled, step by step towards the position of the pivotal stone, Ludolus? The look on Oistaha's face was like a pilgrimage.

Zheng Shuanglong, who took Ji Hiiragi Yukina, finally came to this cornerstone gate, and watched the intruders pass through the back floor, showing a miserable scene. Ji Hiiragi Yukina said a little unbearably: "It's too cruel." ”

More than 60 guards were seriously injured and fell around, and the smell of blood emanating from it spread through the atmosphere. There are only a dozen people who can barely act on their own. However, they have also lost their ability to fight, and are in a situation where they are already scrambling to take emergency measures just for their injured teammates.

Zheng Shuanglong actually didn't want to take Ji Hiiragi Xuecai, after all, with such a serious girl, there was still a little trouble, at least, Zheng Shuanglong's cruel methods had to be restrained.

However, in Nangong's office that month, when Zheng Shuanglong was about to set off to educate the bad man who wanted to demolish his own playground, Ji Hiiragi appeared at the door of the office with a guitar case on her back, looked at Zheng Shuanglong with serious eyes, and said that where Zheng Shuanglong went, he would also go.

This made Zheng Shuanglong very embarrassed, but. Seeing that Ji Hiiragi Yukina was a very cute girl, Zheng Shuanglong was a little accommodating and allowed Ji Hiiragi Yukina to follow. In fact, Zheng Shuanglong hadn't locked up Ji Hiiragi Yukina. It doesn't make sense to allow it or not, Ji Hiiragi Yukina will come over by herself.

It's cruel, I don't feel it, but I want to know what happened to them going to the bottom of the door. There's something there that attracts them. Ignoring the tragic situation in front of him, Zheng Shuanglong slowly walked forward with a gentle smile.

Ludoluff? Oistaha and Astarut have already forcibly broken down all the doors on the way to more than 30 floors. It's almost to the bottom, and if you walk with Hiiragi Yukina, it's far too late. It's not going to work. Only space moved.

The place where the pivot stone exists is made in the depths of the ocean where no light can penetrate it, reminiscent of an eternal prison. The lowest level of the Keystone Gate is located at the bottom of the sea, about 220 meters below the surface. The conical outer walls, built to withstand high water pressure, bear some resemblance to the mythical Babelta in atmosphere.

It can be conditioned by a steel wire with links extending from four artificial base islands. Thus controlling the vibration of the entire island. Make it harmless. The wires that lead through the door wall are all tied to the lowest pillars. The connecting wires formed by winding about 65,000 steel wires are about 1,650 millimeters in diameter. Exaggeratedly large winding machines control them with motors that rival the power of power plants. The overwhelming quality of steel and the sense of pressure of the drive mechanism with explosive power. Add to that the intense water pressure that surrounds the entire building. These environmental factors convert the atmosphere that wafts in this class into a viscous and dense gas.

The airtight compartment that separates the lowest layer is making a mournful noise and is being pried open. Tearing the seventy-centimeter-thick wall of armor through as easily as tin foil was a humanoid beast that shone with a rainbow light.

In the center of the beast's chest, the body of the host can be seen trapped inside. It was a girl with long blue hair and pale blue eyes, an artificial lifeform Astarout.

Emerging from behind her was a muscular man wrapped in a robe. Rotalingia's Annihilator Ludolulv? Oistaha was slowly looking at the bottom of the stone gate with emotion.

"The command is complete. Visually confirm the target. Astarut told as if he was still in his own body. The voice that had lacked modulation in the first place has now completely lost its feelings.

The Dependent Beast was originally a summoned beast from another world. In order to materialize it, the host must cut its lifespan. Although it also depends on the type of beast. But if you are an ordinary human, it is just a momentary summoning. will lose all their lifespan. The life of the host is nothing more than a mere sacrifice to the beast. Even if the host is an artificial lifeform, there are no exceptions.

Astarout, who was adjusted to coexist with the beasts, was given a longer lifespan than ordinary humans. But even these are not many left. In order to attack the central stone gate, the power of the beast was used too much.

"...... "But Ludoluff? Oistaha didn't even glance at Astarot who had paid like this, but kept walking to the center of the lowest level.

That's the end of four steel wires that extends from the four bases of the artificial island. The anchor blocks that hold all the headstock in place are small inverted pyramid-shaped metal cornerstones.

And a pillar that runs through the anchor like a stake holds it there. It is about less than a meter in diameter. But that thing is carrying millions of tons of weight to this day in order to connect to the island of the String God. It was a translucent pillar with a texture that resembled obsidian, the pivot stone.

"Oh...... Oh oh...... "From Ludoluff?" Oistah's mouth spat out a voice of lament and joy at the same time.

Trembling violently, he knelt on the spot. From the seriousness of looking up at the stone pillar, tears flowed endlessly. Eventually, his sorrow and joy turned into frantic laughter.

"The immortal body that was usurped from the Sanctuary in Rotalingia, I have been waiting for it to return to the hands of our followers for a long time! Astarut! There is nothing standing in our way anymore. Pull out that hateful wedge for me and bring sanctions down on this island of decadence! "Ludoluff? With a high-pitched laugh, Oistaha gave a command to the Servant's artificial lifeform, Astaroth.

But Astarut did not move. It's just that it's still wrapped in the armor of the embodied beast, and it says in an emotionless voice, "Command identification." But there are errors in the preconditions. Therefore, the command is requested to be re-selected. ”

"What?" Gripping the huge battle axe, the annihilated teacher stood up. Because he also sensed the reason for Astarout's refusal of orders. Who stands on the anchor block that is fixed as a pivot stone.

It was Zheng Shuanglong, the Lord of the Sky wearing a lazy smile on his face. and Yukina Hiiragi, a girl with a guitar case on her back. Zheng Shuanglong, who really had no way to catch up with Astarut and Teacher Annihilation, cheated and took Ji Hiiragi Yukina to jump here in space before Astarut and Teacher Annihilation were about to arrive.

To be honest, Zheng Shuanglong was also surprised by the things here. The remains of the saint. Using this kind of thing as a cornerstone, I really have to say that the designer of this island is a talent. Such blasphemous things are also dared to be done. Zheng Shuanglong really wants to meet the designer of Xianshen City now.

"May I ask, this believer in the church, how long has it been since you received information from the outside world? Or rather. How long has it been since you contacted the church. Can you tell me. "Zheng Shuanglong, the Lord of the Sky, is looking at Ludo Lufu with a tired expression? Oistaha. asked softly.

If this time, this Ludoluff? If Oistaha had been in contact with the Church in Western Europe, he would have evacuated the island, the remains of a saint. and the survival of the Church in Western Europe. They all know how to choose.

After asking, Zheng Shuanglong didn't wait for Ludo Lufu? Oistaha replied, looking at the pillar known as the central stone with a look of pity. He whispered, "The remains of the saint of the 'God' who served in the Church of Western Europe." "Ludoluff? Oistaha's answer is meaningless, and since he has done it, he has to endure the terrible consequences of what he has done. They're all adults, and they should be responsible for what they do.

In that translucent stone, floated someone's "arm", which was as dry as a mummy. Tiny arms. It bears terrible scars on its wrists as if it had been tortured. This is the body of a martyr who suffered for the sake of his faith and lost his life. It is also the object on which God's divine nature appears in this world. Therefore, it will become an object of people's faith. The remains of a strong sanctity are said to be absolutely incorruptible and can cause various miracles. And part of the body of such a saint is sealed in this stone pillar.

"It's called a relic. caused so much commotion, and finally wanted to tear down my playground, just for this guy. Zheng Shuanglong said in a sigh-like voice: "Seriously, it's a little unworthy." The price I paid was very high. ”

The secret of the lowest level of the island of the string gods. That is the existence of this holy relic. As a huge artificial city, the island of the god of the string is supported by the "miracle" caused by the holy relics. With the remains of the saints of the other church to be used as the central stone, and millions of people trampled under their feet, it is no wonder that this annihilator is so crazy.

"The city you call the island of the String God was designed about forty years ago." Teacher Jian said in a low-key and majestic voice. The tone of his voice has an air of majesty that is consistent with the teaching of a large number of believers. "The spiritual veins - called dragon veins in the East, build an artificial floating island on the sea where they intersect to build a new city. This was an epoch-making plan at the time. Everyone thinks that the spiritual power flowing from the dragon veins will become the vitality of the citizens and lead the city to prosperity. But it was a challenge to build, because the power of the exposed dragon veins floating on the ocean was far beyond people's imagination. ”

Regarding what Teacher Jian said, Zheng Shuanglong nodded silently. With the level of scientific research that devours the world by devouring blood, it is really not easy to build such an artificial island on the dragon vein.

The dragon vein, that is, the existence of the huge spiritual power meridian flowing on the surface of the earth. The land built on the dragon vein will be filled with spiritual power. That alone can perform experiments on spiritual magic or magic that are more powerful than usual. This is a very ideal condition for the Demon Special Zone that conducts research on the Demon Race. The construction of the city on the dragon vein is necessary for the artificial island plan. This is also the reason why the city was built overseas far from Japan. This is where the dragon veins meet.

Teacher Jian continued heavily: "The designer of the city, the string god Qianluo has done quite well. The artificial island, which is divided into four parts, east, west, north and south, was selected as the four gods in feng shui, and then the dragon veins were controlled by organically combining them. However, there is a problem that cannot be solved even then. The strength of the pivot stone, according to the design of the string god Chira, requires a yellow dragon in the center of the island as the chief of the four gods, that is, the pivot stone that is the key to the connecting part. However, with the technology at the time, it was impossible to make building materials that could withstand such a load. So he broke the forbidden evil law. ”

"Sacrifice building materials!" Yukina groaned weakly.

The designers of String God Island relied on spells in order to solve the engineering dead end.

Human columns. In order to increase the strength of the building, the evil method of sacrificing living humans was conceived.

But the dragon vein refers to the flow of qi in nature. The force of the storm will place an undue burden on the connectors of the artificial island. And if you want to be able to withstand the weight of the central stone, you can't do it with ordinary spells. It is necessary to have the power of a miracle that rivals God's. So...... (To be continued......)
