Volume 1 Mr. Engineer and Miss Mercenary Chapter 143 The End (End of Volume 1)

After Kate and Mette checked on the others, they went to Reins's side and crouched down to check on her.

"Thankfully, it's just a fragment of a soul." Mette shook her head and sighed, "Otherwise, I can't even imagine what kind of scene it will become, probably none of the people present will be able to escape." ”

Kate nodded, and a white light appeared in the palm of his hand that he had placed in front of Rheins' forehead, which obviously made Rheins's expression relax.

"Generally speaking, the effectiveness of illusion depends on the firmness of the person's heart. Although some magicians believe that what a person fears can have a great impact, it all comes down to whether your heart is strong. Kate withdrew her hand and turned her head to look in the direction of the beast, "But it's not like that, it's terrible in that it completely ignores the defenses of your mind and directly goes to confuse your soul into thinking that it is your own thoughts." ”

Reins nodded, clutching her chest in trepidation.

"That illusion is not flawless, it can even be said to be full of loopholes. I don't have any memory of the process of transforming from the battle of the monster to the scene in the illusion, and the environment around me is beyond normal sense, but I don't want to pay attention to it at all, and all my attention is focused on what the monster wants me to see. ”

"And you will naturally give up resistance and let the monster lead you to your death." Kate added, "If Apaya doesn't intercept the beast's movements in time, then you won't be able to hear anyone, you won't be able to be pulled out of that illusion, and even if your body doesn't die, your soul will be silent, and there is almost no chance of reawakening." ”

Just imagining such a possibility, Reins couldn't help but shudder. If she allowed the beast to succeed, she would become a walking corpse, and she couldn't accept that.

Appaya tightened his arms behind her and hugged her, his warmth reassuring to Rheins. Obviously, Appaya was also unable to accept that kind of development, and this realization made Rhines feel strangely happy in her heart.

"Fortunately, it's just a fragment of a soul, so there's only a limit to what it can do." "So it can't do anything to me and Kate - we were protected by the power of 'Omano' at the time, and it can't break through this, and Apaya is far away from their side and won't be affected." ”

Rhines squinted slightly, she looked at her companions who had not completely escaped the environmental influence, and asked Mette with some confusion: "So what happened to those people in Molphy?" If I'm not mistaken, they were supposed to be with Apaya, right? ”

At this time, Pat and Smofa also walked over to her, and Zruo crouched beside Rheins, looking at her with his knees crossed.

"Don't you remember?" Smofa asked in some surprise as he walked over to Ciruo's side and lowered his body to see if there was anything unusual about him.

"What do you remember?" Reins raised her eyebrows, and the expressions of the people next to her looked a little weird, "Do you mean that I lack a memory of a certain part of what just happened?" ”

"To be precise, all the people who fell into the illusion just now are missing the same paragraph." Pat explained, "From what I've confirmed, it's probably not long after you fought with the scythe until just now. But this wasn't done by the Beast, just a distortion caused by its large illusion - after all, it was attacking your brain, and it lacked some control over it. ”

Rhines frowned a little unhappily, no one would be satisfied with knowing that his memory had been inexplicably erased in this way.

"I guess you two weren't affected because of the kind of power in you that belongs to the church?"

"Well, that's how it should be." Pat touched his chin and thought, "Because I can clearly feel a force from the Demon Beast trying to invade my brain, but it was blocked back. After all, we have been dealing with 'God's gifts' for many years, and there will be various types of them, and it is already an instinctive act to defend against such foreign invasions. ”

Reins sighed, then turned to look at Apaya.

"So what the hell just happened?" She stared straight at Apaya, "If I don't know, forget it, you guys are deliberately letting me know this, it's not a good idea to hide it." ”

Apaya gently squeezed his shoulder, he glanced around a few people with a slight condemnation, Pat touched his nose and walked with Smofa with Tsero to Poe's side, Mette squeezed his eyes narrowly, and pulled the reluctant Kate to Lillian.

"Nothing, you know, I didn't pay close attention to your fights, so I only got a little bit of a general idea. Your 'bounty' didn't appeal to the beast too much, so Kate and Mette used 'omano'. The monster seems to be upset with your refusal to use 'Fili', so it's a bit irritable. As for Ilo, they ......"

Apaya paused for a moment, then pondered his vocabulary and said euphemistically, "They saw that the situation was not good, so they went over...... Well, protect Lillian from them. Huck felt that he couldn't let them go by on his own, so he followed. ”

"......" Rhines was silent for a while, and very bluntly exposed Apaya's overly gentle description, "Iroh and Iori just want to go over to find Leanne and Ella, Nado's people run to find Bola, Huck doesn't want to stay with you and doesn't want to take on the responsibility of not persuading them, so why don't you go together?" ”

Apaya blinked, acquiescing to her speculation.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Forget it, even if they really play themselves to death, it's their business, and it has nothing to do with me. Reins rolled her eyes, "Okay, that monster's forced sleep time shouldn't be long, right?" Tell me what you're going to do after that. ”

"Can you stand up now?" Appaya gently put her arm on Rheins' shoulder and asked, "If you can, I'll take you to the console to have a look." ”

Reins stood up to his strength, Kate's magic had soothed her discomfort just now, and now she was only a little weak. She was dragged by Apaya to the console, grumbling as she went.

"I obviously don't understand what is in there, why do you have to ask me to go over and see it." She pursed her lips slightly, "Why don't you tell me the conclusion?" ”

Apaya only raised an eyebrow, his hand still tightly gripping Reine's hand, not letting go at all of her words.

"I'll always have a way to give you a rough idea of it." Apaya said calmly, "It's too nihilistic to describe it in the vernacular, but it's better to look at something to be more intuitive." ”

"Stubborn engineer."

Reins muttered quietly and said nothing more.

After about three or four minutes, Reins was back in front of the beast, and she looked left and right at the people who had recovered more or less, clapping her hands to attract their ideas.

"The Beast's terminating process has reached its final stage, and in order to be able to reduce its resistance to data, we need to divert its attention and make it have to deal with us."

She tilted her head in thought for a moment, then nodded as if she was sure of something.

"Of course, it's all up to the point, and the big guy on the other side must already know we're playing with it." She shrugged her shoulders without feeling the slightest sense of responsibility, "So, there's no doubt that we're going to face a very angry soul fragment." But on the other hand, it's already at the end of its power, and that big illusion is not a small drain on it. ”

If you think about it, you can see that the illusion of that strength will not only affect them, but it will also have a very serious backlash against the caster. Perhaps it could have ignored this level of depletion in its heyday a thousand years ago, but for it now, an incomplete soul and an incompatible body are either conditions that are not suitable for casting spells and not conducive to recovery.

"Where do you need to attack? You say. Lillian said murderously, "Hell, this really annoys me - how dare you make such an inexplicable thing to fool me?" ”

The other people may not be as direct as Lillian's expressions of affection, but they all agree with her. Boe and his friends didn't seem to be affected much, but they all showed signs of dissatisfaction. Not to mention the people of Morfi, Huck's face was even worse than the others, which made Reins can't help but imagine what had appeared in his vision.

"It's simple." Reins looked at the beast that had not yet escaped its forced slumber, "It's even easier than we've had to put it to sleep or wake up before - do everything we can to block its view so that it has to look at us." ”

Reins stared into the beast's eyes and smiled a not-so-friendly smile.

She knew that the soul fragment of the monster did not sleep with its shell, and that the data could only affect the body's actions, and had no direct ability to interfere with the soul fragments inside. Apaya's ability to cut off the magic output of illusion is also a restriction on that body, and using that shell to turn it into a temporary space that can seal the soul magic.

Although this means that they cannot destroy this fragment of the soul, as long as this body is completely "dead", this fragment of the soul will not be able to do anything for a while. When the body loses power, she will use a confinement formation to temporarily trap the soul fragment, and when the priest comes here, there will naturally be a way to clean up the fragment.

For that beast, it must have been very, very angry to see them openly discussing plans in front of it, and it couldn't do anything.

Whether it is a Warcraft or a human, when he loses his mind, it means that he is no longer without loopholes. Now they have nothing to hide from this monster, and they are frankly saying that they want to block its sight, what can it do?

The large illusion devoured a lot of its magic, and in order to be able to cast magic using this uncomfortable, lifeless shell, it must have consumed the energy of its soul, otherwise it would not have been trapped by the so-called forced sleep mechanism.

If it were its heyday, the energy of its soul alone would have wiped out all of them in the blink of an eye. Now I can only say...... It's a shame.

With Rhine's gesture to Apaya, Apaya lifted the command to force the slumber - this also reflected the weakness of the beast at the moment, and it was not even able to lift the slumber in advance. When the monster shook its head and roared, Lillian still rushed straight up and hit the beast's nose hard.

"That looks like it hurts, doesn't it?"

Ella laughed lightly as she waved the staff wickedly, and when the tip of the staff lit up red, Lillian's body flashed with a red glow.

"Pure attack add-on? It's a good support spell for Leanne. ”

Imi's tone sounded like a mockery of Lillian, who half-crouched on the ground and pointed her gun at the beast's location with Shuka, waiting for Lilian to retreat before attacking.

"Of course it won't be just Leanne." Ella blinked, "You know, I'm pretty good at it. ”

While Ella's way of fighting is supposed to be to summon spirits from living beings, perhaps because of this, she has learned a lot of magic from them that only nature possesses. In the absence of lifeforms to summon spirits in the factory, she chose to concentrate on assisting the others in their battles.

After Ella finished speaking, a faint green glow glowed from the chambers of Shuka and Imi's guns. As Lillian left their range, the bullet grazed Lilian's head at a speed that was completely uncatchable and fired into the beast's skinβ€”its liquid defense had been completely broken by Apaya, and it no longer had the magic to keep the liquid defense running.

"Do you have to be in such a hurry!" Lillian roared loudly, "I'm just a little bit away from being hit by you!" ”

Imi plucked her ears with her fingers, pretending not to hear at all, while Shuka lowered her head and adjusted her guns, neither of them paying any attention to Lillian, causing the other to jump to her feet in frustration.

Bora's summoned beast circled around the beast's head, sprinkling some unknown powder from its wings, and Lilian jumped out of the way with agility, which was not something to be pleasant to look at from the beast's pained expression.

"That neurotoxin works pretty well." Bora said in a flat tone, but there was a kind of cool sarcasm in his voice, "Powdered doesn't affect the potency much, and Rossos is always very good at it." ”

Silua and Ticharo were ordered by Rhines to stay in the rear with the people of Morfi. Siluyan's overly pale face was obviously not suitable for continuing to fight on the battlefield, and they didn't need a lot of firepower now, so Ticharo also stayed in the rear to take care of Silua.

Also asked to stay in the rear were Kate and Met. They used the power of "Omano" to resist the illusion of the demonic beast, but correspondingly, those powers were also eroded to a certain extent. Although the influence on Kate and Mette was not as strong as it was after Reines used "Fili", it was still there. Rather, it is precisely because "Omano" is borrowed and not the power in their body that the recovery is extremely slow.

Pat and Smopha had been wielding some kind of power that belonged to the Church, and they believed in the creator god and they used abilities that would make Warcraft uncomfortable. And Boe and his friends have a tenacity that Rhines expected, and the matter here has nothing to do with them, Boe will only get involved because Talos has suffered in Rossos, and if his brother's brother can fight to this extent, then she really needs to be impressed by these people.

The beast's angry roar and shaking made Reins suspect that if it had a tail, it would definitely fall to the ground at this moment. The fact that humans, whom they regard as ants, dared to tease it, and succeeded in teasing it, was probably a very unbearable stain on it. But it's just a vanishing fragment, and even if you want to do something, you can't do it anymore.

As time went on, the beast's magic seemed to recover a little, but it was still not enough to perform a large spell again, not to mention the fact that they were throwing potions of Roses' own creation at its body one after another, making it almost impossible for it to function normally.

The beast's silver-gray eyes were full of resentment, but soon it couldn't even maintain such emotions. If that fragment could honestly lurk in the body of the demonic beast and not squander its energy wantonly, then it would not be impossible to wander for a few more years and even encounter other fragments of it. However, if it is a character that can endure and lurk, then it is not Arka who can fight the goddess Imoriella.

Everything happened suddenly, and it ended suddenly. As Reins panted and carried her scythe, preparing for the next attack, the beast's movements came to a standstill.

No, it's not just about being still. All the wounds they had inflicted on its body before began to crack and spread throughout its entire body at an alarming rate. The beast, which was so large that it gave people no breathing pressure, shattered like a piece of broken glass in front of their eyes, and kept dropping debris.

"That's the end of it."

The blonde engineer's tone was as flat as if he had just finished the routine maintenance of a machine, but Rheins didn't miss a hint of smugness in her light brown eyes. She decided not to laugh at his pride at this time, after all, this is really something to be proud of.

"It's you." Rhines put her arms around Apaya's neck and tiptoed to give him a light kiss, "It's completely over?" ”

"Not bad." Apaya chuckled softly, "The data...... There should have been more obstacles, but they seemed to have been withdrawn. ”

Reines narrowed her eyes slightly, and at this moment, a sound of applause rang out from all corners of the factory.

"It's a good show." The voice was the man from Rossos who had left the factory earlier, "I'm satisfied, though I haven't been able to see the power of Filly's attack...... Not bad, though. But I'm a little tired of watching this play, so I'll give the engineer a little convenience. You have confirmed that this experiment is not meaningless, so this time ...... I'll just let you go. ”

His voice came from the stereo on the walls of the factory, and as he finished speaking, a fluorescent screen counting down appeared in the sky of the factory.

"Let's run hard." The man said with interest, "Finally, let me see you running away." At the end of the countdown, the factory will turn into a crater of ruins, if you don't run out before then...... I don't need to say it, you know it. ”

Rhines gritted her teeth fiercely, looked at the 300 seconds that had begun to count down, and took Apaya's hand.

"What the hell Roseos!" She said angrily, "Okay, what are you all waiting for? Even if you let the family watch the play, you can't help it - get out of here! ”

Everyone sprang into action. The six almost forgotten researchers of Roses were not completely forgotten after all, and they were carried by the men of Morfi, whose mobility was not greatly affected, and ran towards the exit. Luckily, the traps they had destroyed weren't restored, so they just had to run that length.

When they finally ran out of the factory, they didn't think about how long it was, but they just took all the members of the Morfi family who were still outside into the flying ship, and before they flew away, they didn't forget to leave a word of advice to the mercenaries and the family who were left on the ground with big eyes and eyes. They didn't care if these people were taking their kindness or not, but they flew away from the factory anyway to save themselves.

A few months later, they heard from the church that although the people were confused and some were unwilling to obey Morfi's orders, no one would be at odds with their lives, so they left the factory in good faith. After they were 300 meters away, there was a huge explosion at the factory.

"They had a very funny look on their faces." "Oh, I didn't see it with my own eyes, but the head of the Jokla Guild told me it was the same palette. ”

But, of course, that's for later. In the immediate aftermath of the battle, Rheins did not care about the interests of the family and the mercenaries. She simply threw the head of Prossoa's family, Epivos Klado, who was still unconscious, to Jura, and then dragged Apaya into hiding.

"You know, while Rossos is clearly not resolved, this imminent threat has been resolved, and we may be able to consider something else."

In Apaya's laboratory, Reinse sat with her cheeks crossed as she studied some of the materials he had brought back from Roses, and Apaya spoke to Reins as if she had suddenly remembered something. And this made Rhines raise an eyebrow and answer him lazily.

"What do you mean?"

"For example...... "Apaya's muse, "let's think about getting married?" ”

Rhines blinked, she swept away her previous sleepiness, propped her hands on the chair beside Apaya, and brought herself in front of Apaya, staring at him for a moment.

"Are you proposing to me?"

Apaya was unnatural for a moment, but then he lifted his chin and stared straight at Rheins.

"Of course." He said, "I know this isn't very formal, I'll refill it." But first I need to confirm...... You won't turn down my marriage proposal for unknown reasons anymore. You know, if you don't want to, even if I kneel down and propose to you in front of everyone in Murphy, you can give me a face on the spot. ”

Reine's brisk laughter emanated from the unclosed door of the laboratory, and the researchers passing by couldn't help but smile at each other.

The family and the mercenaries have changed from cooperation thousands of years ago, to hostility later, to harmony led by them now. Maybe the opportunity to reconcile them again is just a little thing like this that can make the cold research room full of warmth.
