Chapter 125: Mind
It is said that when approached, puppeteers tend to act differently. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info actually took different actions, and they who had been focusing on making and controlling Golem gave up the above "work" almost at the same time. Instead, he began to use his familiar attack methods, which can pierce the stone pillar of flesh and turn the flesh into a stone ball. Anyway, that's their full strength.
As the first pillar slammed out of the ground, Maffeo dodged and swung his greatsword to smash it to pieces. He considered himself a devil, and all of this was destined when he became a spiritual partner with the demon Kazan. But he didn't want to be the devil, so he had to struggle with his fate.
Maffeo sprinted forward, the desire to kill growing as he got closer to his target's puppeteer. He knew that killing was the only thing that Kazan guy loved. He didn't know how Kazan had spent his life, but he knew that no matter how desperate and unwilling he was, it was no reason to deprive people of their minds.
The blade of the greatsword slashed across the puppeteer's neck, and like most hunters would do the chopping of wood, the attack was easy no matter how you look at it. Of course, all this was done while Maffeo still kept his mind. He didn't choose to free Kazan, even now in a fit of rage.
Kazan sneered in the shadows of his mind, and while he felt a hint of regret that he could not be liberated, it seemed to mock the human with the great sword. But there was no malice in the taunt, just resentment that he couldn't carry out the long-awaited killing. It is what it is, and when you communicate with it in your heart, it seems to support you in some way more than your friends who absolutely support you. But it's not because you're friendly, it's because your body can be used as a tool for its killing.
The ball was thrown out of the puppeteer's hand, and Maffeo duly pulled a fruit from his waist and dodged the ball in a flipped position as he smashed it at the puppeteers. The fruit flew in mid-air for two seconds before falling limply to the ground, seemingly unlethal.
However, just a second later, the fruit that should have been silent suddenly burst into a shockwave that was not too big. But it just so happened that the puppeteers were right in the range of the shock wave. So, after racking his brains and unable to understand how the fruit was able to burst into a shockwave, they were simultaneously knocked away by the shockwave as Maffeo thought.
"Unfortunately, I don't think the Thunder Tree can grow in Sky City. Maffeo whispered, then took advantage of the perfect opportunity to lunge at one of the puppeteers with his greatsword, and before he could get up, Maffeo managed to slay it.
After the killing of the two puppeteers, the situation outside the darkness has changed significantly. About ten or so Golems suddenly changed dramatically, and the stones covered by their skins began to fall off continuously. The gems that received the energy supply gradually began to crumble as the stones fell off, and they ceased to do anything about themselves. In just five seconds, they went from indestructible stone to a transparent blue soul state. This seems to be a good fit for the state they are in, and if they could, someone might be happy to call them ghosts at this point.
Although the stone giant in the soul state still has the ability to attack, its power is much weaker than before. Their attacks do not even deal effective damage to the plate-clad mercenaries, and they can only be repelled by brute force. But on the other hand, the swords and axes of those mercenaries were fatal to almost every attack of Golem in his soul state. When all the weaknesses are exposed, perhaps all that awaits them is a one-sided slaughter.
There was not much left of the puppeteer, and for Maffeo at this point, he didn't even think he had even moved his muscles and bones. Once you get close to these puppeteers, their chances of returning fire are almost none. The previous battle at the puppet entrance also gave Maffeo insight into the attack methods of these puppeteers, and it became a very easy thing to dodge.
"So, I didn't let you bastard out to breathe, you must be very upset, right?" said Maffeo with a cold sneer inwardly.
"Haha, can these scrawny guys really make me happy?" Cazan's voice was hollow, but Maffeo could feel it, full of excitement about blood.
"Count me in mercy, let you come out and breathe. Maffeo said self-deprecatingly.
He released the aura of the ghost's hand, and suddenly a red circle formation appeared in front of him. Kazan's demonic figure floated in the center of the formation, a strange and crazy smile on its face throughout.
After gaining the power bonus of Kazan of Sword Soul, Maffeo pounced on the remaining puppeteers. Now, even if they threw those stone balls, Maffeo could safely slash them directly with his broadsword.
He charged all the way, smashing the stone balls and pillars with the movement of his greatsword in his hand, and came to the puppeteer's side, an arcing slash flashing through its body. Well, now there are two of them, although both are unconscious. Maffeo tirelessly weaved back and forth among the remaining puppeteers until they were all killed.
The sword pierces not flesh and blood, but hollow souls. Anything can happen in this bizarre city in the sky, and once you get used to these things, you may be able to truly exist here.
Now, when Golem has become a soul state, the balance of the battle situation has been completely tilted. There is nothing more to be happy about, and most people have been waiting for this moment for almost half a month of bloody fighting. They were also well prepared for this attack, so this should be the result of everyone's gains.
Maffeo emerged from the darkness, most of his body covered in the puppeteer's strange blood. But he didn't feel sick, he looked up at the ceiling on this floor, whispering some muffled words in his mouth. It seemed to be a requiem for Brother Anthony, but in fact he just recited some of the prayers that the priests used to say.
As he did all this, a loud explosion rang out. Freya's fourth convergence bomb also successfully hit the gold covering the Platani power source, and now, its multicolored power source shimmering in the sunlight is completely exposed. The role of the jammer is still there, and it's time to put an end to it.
After the last reloading, Freya took a deep breath, which would be the most important shot of the battle. She always believed in the aggregate bullets she had made, and she also believed in the rifle that Kelly had given her, which belonged to the two of them in common.
The index finger pulled the trigger, and the corners of Freya's mouth gradually curled as the muzzle fire and the sound of bullets ejecting the chamber of the bullet gradually curled. Like any other bullet, the last confluence bullet spun at high speed, breaking through the air along its trajectory and whizzing towards Platani's exposed power source with a scorching breath. Contact, penetration, explosion.
The sun shines through the clouds on the earth, and people will always see it as a ray of hope, a symbol of light.
"Nice kill!" Freya whispered, a sunny smile.
