Volume 1 Mr. Engineer and Miss Mercenary Chapter 122 Mutation
Morfi's forces seem to be closer to attack than to defense, and none of them can withstand the guards' attacks for long, so they look dangerous. After a few back-and-forth handovers with the guards, Kate and Mette came over to help them.
Although Rhines does not have a role with defensive capabilities in the orthodox sense, Pat and Smofa are enough to take on this task. Smoker was able to briefly strengthen his body to the point where he was tough enough to withstand the attack, but he himself didn't seem to like it too much.
"I won't get hurt, but wouldn't it be a little exciting?" Smalla's attempt to fight for some kind of right for himself, "Watching that greatsword slash at his body is too much for both the eyes and the senses - can I use something else?" β
"I think it's too much of a lazy thing for you to think about in the middle of a fight, Hemiria."
Sarcastically, Reins still used the wind element in front of him to condense into the shape of a translucent shield, and Smofa used his ability to inject energy into the shield, temporarily materializing it.
Although according to the type of ability of Smofa, it should have been to contact the "Divine Gift" and receive a little bit of it breath, and transform it into a mode that he can use, and this can only strengthen himself. But perhaps it is because of his special gift of attracting the "gifts" left by the creator god, that he is able to control the aura of the "gifts" more easily than other gods of the same type, and then attach and strengthen them to objects outside of himself.
Of course, there are limits to this. The farther away from him, the more difficult it is to control, and if the object itself has a divine or magical aura, it will also have a certain effect on this enhancement. At present, this shield condensed by the wind element is completely under the suppression of the Rheins, so Smofa can smoothly infuse the aura of "bounty" into it, and let it have a physical form to withstand this aura for a short time.
Satisfied that he could no longer use his own body to carry the attack, Smofa threw himself into the fight again to help Pat share the pressure of the attack, and he even asked Pat and Reins to attack the guards with all their might, and then take all the attack damage himself.
"Don't overdo it, Hermiria." Reinss said coldly on the side, "Although the wind element has a certain amount of toughness, its essence is destined to be as hard as the things made of the earth element, and even if you strengthen it, it can only withstand a certain amount of attacks. β
"Oh, don't be so upset, Reins." Smoker paused for only a moment before waving his shield in high spirits, "I believe in your strength, and I believe in mine. And you can take it down quickly, right? β
Reins sneered, ignoring his overly exuberant words at the moment - most of the clergy who fought with their bare hands always had a different kind of fascination with weapons, but his abilities prevented him from finding a physical weapon at his disposal, and it was not as good as this form made of purely magical elements.
"Brother, the second joint of the left leg from top to bottom, and the first joint of the right arm from top to bottom, are the vulnerable points." At this point, Talos finally learned about the guard's weakness, "The left leg needs enough strength, and the right arm needs fire." β
This ability to pick up weaknesses continued to drain his mental energy, so he could only express what he saw as briefly as possible.
"Boss, the neck joint first, the left foot and ankle joint, and finally the chest armor, all require physical attacks."
Regardless of whether or not they had a sense of family affiliation after joining Morfi, at least nominally Talos and Boe were still members of the Wright family, and Huck had always been a wayward bastard who would inexplicably trust his favorite, so he accepted Talos's claim without hesitation, and led the others to attack what he said.
"Mercenaries, shoulder joints, knee joints, wrist joints, top of the head, both sides, to break at the same time, the four parts need different elements."
Reins deftly withdrew the attack she had just almost hit the guard, grinding her teeth and turning her head to look at Talos.
"Did you do it on purpose?!" Reins roared, "Our way here is the hardest, and finally say? β
Talos had been relieved of his "boon" status, and he blinked innocently despite his exhaustion, spreading his hands leisurely.
"I can't be blamed for that, Reins." He yawned heavily, "Of course my brother is the most important, and that is my immediate boss, so you can only put it last." β
Reins rolled her eyes and decided to wait until she had cleaned up the guards in front of her before thinking about anything else. Use different elemental attacks on four parts and seven joints at the same time...... That's a big test, isn't it?
"Oh, I'll add one more sentence." Talos said sluggishly, "You guys probably need the same amount of strength, come on." β
Reins was sure that he would hang Talos on the spire of Morfi after the battle until he had only one breath left.
After a certain amount of time and effort, the three guards fell back and forth - although Rhines was the most troublesome to deal with, but because of the need to attack synchronously, they ended the battle the fastest. When the third guard fell, all three groups breathed a sigh of relief.
"I don't think it's just about being judged as Pat's level." Reins paused, "No, I'm not saying that you're weak, but these guards are able to perform beyond the level of humans, so they will be one level higher than those of their level." β
Pat smiled gently, and after leaving the battle, he showed signs of returning to his previous somewhat natural and disconnected state, but because the current environment was still relatively severe, he stopped in time.
"I know, you don't need to worry, I'm not a stupid guy like Smofa." Pat smiled and said, "If it were a brazen person like Smofa, he would probably use this sentence to beg for mental damage." β
Pace's affirmative tone without hesitation made Smoker pout, but given the pressure that had accumulated over the long period of time, he gave up the argument.
"Don't quarrel for a while, clean up well, maybe in a while-"
Reins's words stopped abruptly, and she stood there with her mouth half open, unable to move for a moment.
Suddenly there was a sensation of something hitting hard in her heart, and it was very painful, followed by extreme panic, as if her soul was screaming.
Whyββ?
The overwhelming sense of destruction in her soul made her look in the direction of Apaya.
What's going on?
Why - even with so much defensive preparation.
Or did she see blood coming out of the man's body?
Sensing the anomaly, Ella and Eli ran towards Apaya, as if time had slowed them down, and the two researchers beside Apaya smiled like demons, their dirty hands still resting on the hilt of their knives, one of the blades in Apaya's hand and the other buried deep in his abdomen.
Ahh
She only seemed to be able to see red.
Rhines didn't know how she got to Apaya, only that she could reach out and touch the other person's somewhat cold face. She could see the other party's blonde hair and light brown eyes, but it was strange why there was something red on the other person's mouth. This is not right.
ββ¦β¦ Rhine ......"
What is Apaya talking about? She didn't know, she couldn't hear him clearly, what was going on?
But that red mark is so eye-catching.
Reins mechanically reached out to wipe the blood from the other's mouth, she looked down at the blood on her fingers, and then saw the wound on the other's abdomen.
Too much, too much, and there's no way she can completely erase it.
Appaya held out to her the hand that had been cut by the blade, but he seemed to realize it halfway through, and replaced it with another one. Reins tried to reach out to touch him, but before she could do so, the hand suddenly fell.
The blond-haired man curled up in pain and trembled violently, as if he were muffling his voice, as Rhines saw blood flowing from his mouth again, and the ground next to his head was littered with the remnants of defensive stones.
"That's toxin 47!" The freckled girl was suppressed by Huck in the distance, and the other researchers were also watched, the two attackers had been restrained in the air by the runaway magic of Rhine, and the girl was still struggling and shouting, "That toxin will make people lose their nervous response and eventually die of exhaustion, but if it were you, you should be able to save his life now, right?" Now is not the time to hold her accountable β wake her up! β
- Loss of nervous response, failure and death?
Apaya?
What are you kidding?
He promised to be with her well, right?
"Don't you have an antidote?" Huck snarled at the girl, "Since that's something you've researched to be harmfulβ"
"We don't." The girl replied gloomily, "We have no antidote to all the toxins here, you better make a choice quickly, if you don't stop the loss of his life force for more than thirty minutes, he will die, and you can at least guarantee that he will live, although he may be paralyzed in the future." β
"What are you talking aboutβ"
The air in the entire factory seemed to suddenly increase, and people felt the breathless pressure on their bodies, and the researchers couldn't help but kneel, sweating the size of soybeans on their foreheads.
"-Will it be paralyzed?"
Reins repeated word by word, and those empty eyes fell on the freckled girl, which made her subconsciously gasp.
ββ¦β¦ It's better than dying, right? β
The girl was still able to have the courage to argue in such a situation, which made Huck on the side purse her mouth for her discomfort.
"No kidding." Reine's tone was so calm that it sent chills to the back, "How could I possibly let him live like this for the rest of his life, give up everything he loves, and let him live the rest of his life in despair?" β
Apaya will be sad.
He has always loved machines from the bottom of his heart, and he loves everything related to technology.
Living in bed for the rest of your life because of this inexplicable thing? Are you kidding.
"Then you want him to die with dignity?"
Apaya seemed to ease up at this time, and he opened his eyes to look at Rheinth, and there was no resentment in those light brown eyes, but they were full of trust and love. He reached out his uninjured hand again, gently caressing Reins' cheek.
"Do what you want, Rhine."
