Chapter 267: The Decisive Battle between Steel and Ice (1)

Resonance Collapse is eroding the surface armor of the Ark at a rate of several meters per second, exposing its intricate internal structure to the air bit by bit, and from a distance, it looks like a scorching singularity melting the snow of the mountains.

It doesn't sound slow, but judging from the sheer size of the Ark as a whole, it's just an ant climbing a mountain. To climb the entire hull at this pace, it will take at least tens of hours or more. Of course, it won't take that long to destroy the Ark, the so-called thousand-mile embankment is destroyed in the anthill, as long as the key system modules are dug through, the Ark will collapse due to its own weight.

But Arizel didn't know when that moment would come, it could be seconds or hours.

In short, until that moment, she had to do everything in her power to maintain the magic at work. It's not that you can maintain the effect of magic by instilling magic without using your brain, but you have to maintain an incredible density of calculations without interruption. After all, the Ark itself is constantly rewriting the fixed vibration frequency of the armor to resist the erosion of the magic.

In other words, Alize's brain has to constantly change the real-time data and adjust the details of the control technique synchronously, and only in this way can the effect of [Resonance Collapse] be barely maintained.

I have to admit that although the penetrating effect of the technique should not be underestimated, and the principle and content can be called a revolution, which can be described as a 'nirvana spear that runs through everything', its weaknesses are also very obvious, that is, efficiency, and safety.

The method of possibly exposing oneself defenselessly to enemy fire for hours is, objectively, nothing short of suicidal. Even with a strong defensive force, this kind of tactic should never be used as a good strategy.

If it were normal for Alize's sisters to be around, and Michelle, who was at least an apprentice and assistant, by her side, I believe she would not have been allowed to take such an unreliable special attack. At the very least, it is necessary to further analyze the situation of the enemy, calmly look for the weak points of the ark, and then try to strike there with precision.

Even if she fails, nothing is more important than Ariz's life, and with the cover of the two sisters, it is easy to retreat halfway.

Aliezel didn't have time to think about anything at all, and every one of her brain cells was covered in detailed and complicated calculations. It must be pointed out that the 'no leisure' here is not an artistic depiction, but an out-and-out reality, and if you look closely, it is not difficult to find that even the little girl's body's original self-disciplined physiological cycle has begun to malfunction.

Breathing is disordered, pupils are out of balance, sweat is constantly spurting out of the pores, and subtle spasms begin to occur everywhere in the body. It was a miracle that Aliezel was standing there now.

There are things that geniuses can't do, and Alize can't speed up the casting of spells anymore, even if her brain can calculate on a quantum scale, and can instantly calculate the relative distance and rotation period of the stars overhead, maintaining the current erosion progress is already the limit of 'human race'.

More than a hundred seconds had passed since the destruction of the energy barrier, and at this moment, the situation that had been worrying for a long time finally happened, and I saw that from the direction of the ark, a brilliant silver stream of light aimed at Eliza and shot out.

Aliezel couldn't move her feet, which would cause [Resonance Collapse] to give up halfway, so she had to separate a part of her brain's calculus space to instantly build several defensive barriers, trying to stop the scorching flow of light from hitting her body.

However, the power of this flash is indescribable, and if you compare it to previous experience, it is almost the same as the dragon's breath that Raki once spewed. The light was like a torrent divided by an invisible barrier, scattering and blasting up towering silt in all directions, as if the land had turned into a lake, and the sand was churning like waves.

Unlike the [Phase Fragmentation Cannon] used to transform the Warcraft, he didn't feel the touch of the dimensional space being distorted and divided, and although the penetration power was relatively weak, the power itself was far above it. As soon as the attack hit the barrier, Arizel came to the conclusion that it was a torrent of charged particles emitted from a metal frame, that is, a pure energy bombardment.

And a shooting weapon like this, Aliezel knows it well. You must know that on this continent, only she can reproduce such a technology by means of magic, although the output power and scale range are far beyond the theoretical specifications she designed. But there is no doubt that this is the [Magical Energy Beam Cannon] that Hilda is loading.

While getting the answer in her heart, a desperate scene was immediately staged in front of the girl's eyes.

On the other side of the spectrum, a giant dragon covered in brilliant silver roared like a mechanical noise, and swooped towards him.

That form, Alyse had seen it once not long ago, and the real body of this mechanical beast was her closest maid, a mother-like woman, Hilda. And the shelling that has just been fired at this place undoubtedly contains the power to 'obliterate' itself.

Yes, the real 'despair' for the girl is not how big, how terrible, and how powerful the enemy is, but simply because of the fact that 'she is Hilda'.

At the same time, in order to defend against the cannons sprayed by the steel dragon, Ariz's calculations began to be unable to keep up with the processing speed of the upper ark, and the erosion progress of [Resonance Collapse] was also halted halfway, and now it can only barely match the armor restoration. At this time, it is the right choice to give up the calculation of the technique and leave the scene immediately. Of course, this means that all previous efforts are wasted.

But other than that, Arizel has no choice, Hilda may have designed it herself, instilling all her heart, energy and emotion, but that doesn't mean that Arizel can defeat her. It stands to reason that the engineers of the military factories have designed cutting-edge weapons and know their work well, but no one can face a tank or a warplane with a mortal body.

Even in this world, a mage class with the power to invoke a scourge cannot defeat a dragon head-on. Hilda was originally just an ordinary human, her body was ravaged and destroyed by filthy bandits, and instead it was all man-made products, if it was transformed and sublimated by unknown technology, her strength and posture were not inferior to the ancient demon dragon that had been silent for thousands of years.

It was a monster at the top of the world, and no matter how strong a warrior or a mage, it was impossible to defeat her on her own.

But Aliezel didn't care about these problems at all, she didn't stand here to defeat Sylda, she just wanted her beloved mother to come back to her, she just wanted to find a way to rescue Michelle, she just ...... I want to regain my daily life and happiness that I have lost.

"Na...... Hilda...... Are you really, so hated me...... you've been, a little bit...... It's really a little bit...... Don't like Alice anymore......?"

The moment the tears came out of the corners of his eyes, they were evaporated by the heat of the 'Steel Dragon's Breath', and this weak and sad cry with grievances was easily drowned out by the noise and roar, and it could not reach anyone's ears at all.

But Arizel felt that the question was redundant—for it only took to stare into the steel dragon's frenzied scarlet eyes, and to witness her unspoken offensive of hostility and anger.

"Uh......h Whining...... It's all ...... It's all Eliza...... Alezier's Fault...... So, please come back...... Hilda...... Come back to us...... Mommy ......"

The slapping of the steel claws was blocked by the enchantment, but the wind pressure and tremor that resulted from it were enough to blow the thin girl dozens of meters away.

"Woo...... If, if...... Don't want to ...... anymore If you don't want to see Alizo, Alizo will disappear...... If...... If killing me will appease your anger...... So ......"

Alize didn't finish her words, and finally chose to hang her little head weakly, burying her face in the dirty mud puddle, her left hand did not stop manipulating the [Resonance Collapse] technique from beginning to end, but her right hand involuntarily wanted to give up the construction of the enchantment.

- At least, after I'm gone, please go back to my sister and sister...... Please...... Mom......

The last wish, Alize, did not speak, but as before, the words of speech were transmitted directly to the depths of Hilda's consciousness through the resonance of her own magic pattern.

Steel falls from above, and if you are trampled by this overwhelming mass, then the beautiful girl will immediately turn into unrecognizable meat sauce. But Ariezel was relieved, she felt that this must be the evil fruit of her own self who 'does not understand people's hearts'.

"Hmm...... Without a mother, she would kill her own child because of the slightest mistake, not to mention, Alize...... I don't think there's anything wrong with you. ”

However, the expected 'retribution' did not come, and was replaced by a cool and quiet female voice. When he lifted his face from the mud again, he saw a beautiful face with a faint worry and efficiency that was almost imperceptible.

"Hmm...... The rare cute little face is all dirty. Rub. Raki stretched out her satin sleeves, carefully wiping the sludge from her face. Her clothes are woven of dragon scales, which are immensely strong and beautiful, yet soft and clean.

"Rachi...... Mommy ......"

"Hmm...... Well. I'm here. ”

In response to her daughter's call, Ratchee put on a reassuring smile, still an imperceptible change in demeanor, but Alize felt from the bottom of her heart that this smiling face contained unprecedented tenderness. Behind Laki, the claws of steel were blocked by an indescribably thin layer of ice.

"Woo...... Whoa, who

Elize's emotions shattered, and she threw herself into Ratchi's bosom crying out. With the wisdom of a sage, she didn't know what to say at this time, but like an ordinary girl, she was spoiled in her mother's arms.

"Hmm...... Arizar, wait for me here, I'll have a 'good talk' with Hilda. ”
