Chapter 105: The Puppeteer
"How much control do you think those guys have?" said Maffeo as he asked Cal on the staircase to the upper floor. www.biquge.info This is obviously a stupid question, as it is very difficult for anyone to answer it. Without thoroughly understanding all the information about Sky City, I believe that no one will have the courage to answer this question confidently.
But Carl eventually made a more plausible answer: "Since they are assistants to the builders of the Sky City, I think the entire tower will be under their control anywhere, as long as they want to, it's not a difficult thing to do." ”
"Well, I thought you'd answer I don't know. Maffeo pouted.
"If you are disappointed, maybe Marcos will be sad. Karl teased Maffeo in a rare way.
Maffeo was a little dissatisfied: "Hey, don't be led by that guy by the nose for everything." You know, he's a jerk. Despite what he said, it is still himself who has the best relationship with Marcos among all the people present, and this is a fact that cannot be changed.
"Are you real?" said Karl with a chuckle.
"What you think is true, that's true. If you think it's fake, then I think it's definitely fake. ”
"You're a guy who never knows how to hide what you really think, but that's not necessarily a good thing. Carl withdrew his smile, as if the smile itself was a very foreign thing to him. Even if it existed, it would be short-lived.
Maffeo said a little dejectedly, "Maybe you're right, I'm really such a guy. He then changed his tone to a very sincere tone, which didn't seem like a joke: "Hey, I'm glad to be able to communicate with you like that." ”
Carl replied, looking nonchalant, "Well, that's a coincidence, and I think so too." After he finished speaking, he quickened his pace, and the four of them were about to step onto the 67th floor.
When the four of them reached the 67th floor, at least five puppeteers appeared in their sight. Maffeo muttered quietly, "Looks like we're in company." Then he drew his greatsword and prepared for battle, and it was sure to be extra focused against those who could turn you into stone statues with a wave of his hand.
Carl glanced at the structure of the level, unfortunately, there weren't many objects he expected to use as cover, and there were just a few lone dragon head statues scattered around the level. But they pose no threat to everyone, because they are not magically enchanted statues, just ordinary statues, like many of the statues on the continent that are used to commemorate them.
It is obviously unrealistic to use these statues as cover, and it may even be vulnerable to the puppeteer's stone pillars. So Carl turned his attention to the puppeteers, perhaps with some kind of attack that could cause them a lot of interference.
The puppeteers had already attacked, half of them using stone pillar attacks to pin them down, of course, it would be nice to be able to pierce the humans in front of them, and the other half were throwing the deadly stone balls at the right time.
The four of them quickly dispersed in the face of the attacks launched by the puppeteers, but in reality they were not scattered aimlessly, and doing so would only make themselves even more disadvantaged.
After Camilli and Freya dispersed to dodge the stone pillar attack, they seemed to be an inadvertent move, but in fact they gathered together by tacit understanding, and Camille opened the telekinesis shield and successfully blocked the two stone balls thrown from the shield. Freya, on the other hand, fires half rounds of flame bombs at the puppeteers, and she must leave half a cartridge in case of any contingencies.
The puppeteers used their minds to manipulate the stones beneath them to float and move to avoid the attacks of the fire bombs, and the reflexes of these guys seemed to be more agile than they expected.
Maffeo was lucky not to be attacked by the stone balls after dodging the stone pillars, so he also took advantage of the edge to rely on the cover of the dragon head statues to the side of the puppeteers. Opposite him, Karl, who was waiting for an opportunity, winked at him. Maffeo understood what Cal meant, and he pulled an oil bottle from his waist and threw it at the puppeteer's location.
The oil bottle managed to touch the ground and shattered, and the black oil sprinkled under the puppeteers' feet, making it look as if it was eroding the beautiful marble floor here.
Carl leapt into the air to dodge the stone ball attack as he aimed at the black oil and fired a precise flame bomb, which was successfully ignited with a scorching aura. The fire spread instantly, and the puppeteers immediately moved the stones beneath them, and they seemed to be very afraid of the flames.
Taking this opportunity, Maffeo rushed to the leftmost puppeteer and swung his sword at it, and he directly cut the vulnerable puppeteer in half along with the stone. After killing the puppeteer, he immediately moved his body to prevent the puppeteers from attacking next.
The puppeteers quickly fought back after dodging the flames, but their attack methods never seemed to change, and after all, as the builder's assistants, they were far less powerful than the dragonmen.
Camilli's telekinesis couldn't block the stone pillar attacks, and in fact, the time she had been able to sustain was almost at the end of her time. As the telekinetic shield was about to disappear, Freya threw an undrawn frozen grenade above the puppeteers. After doing all this, the moment the telekinesis vanished, Freya and Camilli once again dispersed to avoid the puppeteer's attack.
I have to say that the frozen mine thrown by Freya was just right, and Karl, who was in the blind zone of the puppeteer's attack, quickly took out a revolver loaded with ordinary bullets on his chest and fired an accurate bullet at the frozen mine flying in mid-air. He succeeded in detonating the frozen mine in the air, and the scattered frozen fragments enveloped the puppeteers with a wave of cold. The transparent ice cube did not shine as brightly as before in this slightly dark space, and its color seemed to have been silent for a long time.
The next thing to do was much simpler, the puppeteers who had been frozen into ice cubes were like lambs who had no power to fight back, and Maffeo and Camilli quickly cleaned them up. For the two of them, it seems to have turned into a kind of work. But it must be admitted that Maffeo never showed any mercy for these fellows, as evidenced by his merciless sinking of his greatsword into their bodies.
"If it goes on like this, I don't think Dougry might be that scary. Maffeo seems to have finally become a little more optimistic, but unfortunately it may not be the right time.
Karl stepped forward and said, "I hope you don't turn into a stone statue." This is a warning, of course.
"I certainly haven't forgotten its so-called mental confusion. Maffeo said helplessly.
"Mirna doesn't cheat on us, so you have to be careful about that. Freya said in a slightly reproachful tone.
"I know, I know. For the lectures of the crowd, Maffeo was happy to use this way to prevaricate the past.
"But at least one thing you're right about is that true luck is still on our side so far. Karl seemed to be mimicking Marcos's tone, which Maffeo naturally understood.
"You guys really like that. Camili smiled faintly.
Maffeo scratched his head, "I must admit that this is indeed one of my favorite quotes and those of Marcos, because it brings us good luck, just as it meant in itself." ”
"Maybe I'll call you a poet in the future. Freya teased Maffeo.
"Please, Freya, this joke isn't funny at all. ”
"Alright, it's time for us to move on. Carl said to the three of them, as if he didn't want to waste too much time. In fact, no one actually wants to stay in the slightly darker area where the puppeteers are for a long time, except for those who like "dark".
