Chapter 25: Shadow Blade

Sophia's right hand pulled out a thirty-centimeter-long combat knife from the holster on her waist.

The simple pure black blade, the ceramic-like texture and light, although it is not made of metal, its sharpness is far superior to that of metal.

The author is undoubtedly Ariz, and the knife is not made by the conventional process of "metal forging", but by a special carbon extracted by reshaping the molecular structure using the extremely precise [Matter Alcheming] magic.

In order to cater to the physical environment and magical nature of the new world, the design also hides a lot of whimsical features.

Unfortunately, due to the limited materials at hand, it is still in a semi-finished state, and for the time being, it is just a sharp and sturdy knife.

At the same time, Sophia's left hand pulled out a weapon from her leg that was incompatible with the worldview of the whole world.

Measuring about 25 centimeters in length, the surface is painted with black lacquer with a plastic texture, and although it looks like an exquisite handicraft, its solid structure and simple shape tell of its pride as a weapon.

The pistol used to be the most used weapon of the "man in black", and it was also the model that "he" loved, and the classic gun model that was well known in the industry - DESERTEAGLE (desert of the *).

Of course, what Sophia has in her hands is not the original, but a new type of firearm born through Eliza's transformation by recreating her own memories.

Naturally, the trigger is not a metal bullet, but a magic bullet drawn from Sophia's body. Because of this, it doesn't need to be reloaded, magazines, and just decorations for the time being.

Although it is an original weapon, it is still specially tailored to Sophia's familiar form and quality, just to allow her to regain a familiar feel and improve her combat efficiency.

"Anyway, come on, little sister~~ I think it's almost, so let's escape with my sister~~"

"Understood. ”

As soon as Sophia finished speaking, her figure vanished.

Receiving orders and carrying them out immediately is a good quality as a top soldier.

The girl's figure and her two ponytails turned into a wisp of black shadow together, and with an astonishing speed that was difficult to capture visually, they went straight into the dense herd of demonic beasts.

In fact, Sophie's actions had already reached a speed sufficient to produce a sonic boom, at least, in the process of rushing, generating a G-force that no mortal body could bear.

However, Sophia was still able to move silently, and her limbs and internal organs showed no signs of G-force compression, and all of them were safe.

Not only that, but even the things around her were not affected in any way by the kinetic energy of supersonic movement.

This is undoubtedly a phenomenon that violates the common sense of physics on earth, and it is also enough to be sure that it is the result of the influence of magical properties, just like Alice's cannonballed punches and kicks, and Sophia's 'fighting spirit' is exerting some strange effect in terms of increasing speed.

Sophia's movement was so fast that it barely took time, just like spatial teleportation, she instantly penetrated the enemy formation hundreds of meters thick, and suddenly appeared in the center of the herd, which was also the area where Alice and the monsters were in a fierce battle.

"I'm here to help, Sister Alice. ”

Probably due to the mysterious telepathy between the triplet sisters, Alice did not hesitate or waver in the face of her sister who suddenly appeared.

At the same time, Sophia's figure only stayed by her sister's side for less than half a second, and then turned into a smoke shadow again.

Immediately afterwards, the swift slash tore through countless half-arcs in the space, and the demonic beasts touched by the pitch-black arc light were like puppets that had lost their strings, and they suddenly lost their body balance, and they fell to the ground in an ugly posture in the inertial movement, obviously the excited muscles were still twitching violently, but helplessly their skeletons had lost their movement.

There was neither bleeding nor wounds, and Sophia's 'Shadow Slash' was so sharp that even the cells didn't even notice that it had been severed, so that under the intact fur and flesh, only the slender nerves were severed one by one, causing devastating trauma to the beast's physiology and motor functions.

These monsters that died under Sophia's blade were so unusually that if you were to find any fitting description, it would be as if they had been "harvested by death".

Obviously, in contrast to Alice, who stood on the stage in full view of everyone, confronted her enemies like a Valkyrie, and ravaged her opponents with overwhelming skill and strength, Sophia was like a Grim Reaper lurking in the shadows, her shuttle phantom never stopped, and while harvesting souls with blades, almost no monsters realized that there was a "bang-bang-bang-bang" sound, which drove deadly bullets into their bodies.

Although Sophia does not have the same moves as Alice to penetrate her body, nor does she have the technology to carry out precise strikes against the acupoints.

However, she was able to use the weapons in her hands to the fullest, showing extraordinary results above the preset performance of her weapons.

It can be seen that Sophia's black mist-like fighting spirit is being absorbed by the pistol, and condensed and compressed into a black jade-like projectile, which comes out of the chamber in the sound of gunshots.

Then, at the moment when the bullet entered the skin and flesh of the demonic beast, those black jades quietly dissolved like water-soluble toxins, and quickly spread to the whole body of the demonic beast.

Although Sophia's [Shadow Fighting Qi] does not have direct destructive power, it has a more vicious ability, it will drive along the neural network of living beings, stimulating and interfering with their sensory systems, thus artificially creating some kind of illusion, creating a confusion of the five senses and emotions.

The demonic beasts that were hit by the gunshot, the hallucinations that followed in front of their eyes, made them irritable, frightened, and confused.

And these are precisely the most lethal mental states on the battlefield.

For beasts that have no reason to speak of, they cannot rely on their own willpower to resist instinctive riots, and the effect of [Shadow Fighting Qi] is immediate.

Soon, the already manic monsters became even more uncontrollable, and instead of attacking Alice alone, they became difficult to correctly judge and distinguish between friend and foe. They can only follow the most rooted violent instincts, wielding their minions to their heart's content, aimlessly going berserk at everything around them, and after mercilessly tearing apart the bodies of their companions next to them, they will open their blood basins and munch on each other's internal organs and flesh.

Dominoes are general, and even if the monster is not hit by a bullet, in order to protect itself, it has to show its fangs to its crazy companions.

The situation of time and space will lead the chaotic battlefield to a harsher and deeper hell.

Once upon a time, Alice's bloody battle has now evolved into a farce of cannibalism between thousands of monsters.

This is exactly how Sophia El Cruise Krusnier fights, and it is also the fighting aesthetic that was once admired by the top intelligence agent, the 'Man in Black'.

Sophia's existence is like a deadly poison that can disintegrate the "creatures" called "Syndicate" in an instant.

But it is precisely because of this that Sophia's philosophy and philosophy of fighting are very different from that of her sister Alice.

In her view, fighting in the true sense of the word does not require a fair, just, and open spirit of sportsmanship.

In order to achieve the results of the battle, Sophia will use all means to use all the available circumstances and conditions to make the most of the equipment at hand.

Right now, just adding a blade and a pistol is enough to make a qualitative leap in her combat ability.

Alice and Sophia, the two have very different styles, and if they are opponents, they may not be compatible, which is the key reason why Alice cannot defeat her sister - because Sophia will never choose to go head-on with an opponent who is as strong as Alice and has a fierce style.

However, once they became partners, the two sisters contributed to an ideal combination, and their overwhelming firepower and explosive speed cleverly made up for each other's shortcomings.

The proof is that it has only been less than three minutes since Sophia joined the battle, and the corpses of demonic beasts have piled up on the grassland more than three hundred, and the rest of the clan has fallen into chaos.

If it is a human war, the loss of 30% can already be regarded as defeat.

- Almost, Sister Alice.

Sophia sends such a signal in the midst of a gallop, and Alice unbelievably catches her sister's eyes as the speed of sound travels, and nods her head in understanding.

Immediately afterwards, the sisters' wonderful telepathy was staged again.

Sophia's blade fell from the sky like a meteor, and Alice's leaping kick rose into the sky like a dragon.

When their figures staggered, they killed the demonic beasts lined up behind each other with one blow.

At the same moment, the two jade hands clasped each other, and their fingers were tightly interlocked.

In an instant, Sophia's ghostly acceleration was staged again, and the two sisters disappeared into thin air.

Many of the monsters chasing Alice's figure couldn't hold back the inertia of the flutter and crashed into a ball, until they realized that their target was missing, and the monster in front had been crushed into pieces by the weight of their companions' stacking weights.

"Welcome back~~ Sister, little sister~~"

"Whew~~~ I'm tired and I'm going to ......"

Alice's tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and the sudden intense fatigue that hit her heart made her hunch over and let out a long sigh of relief.

"The basic combat skills have been evaluated, what should I do next?

Sophia said, plunging the jet-black knife back into the leather scabbard behind her. The blade was as if it had just been pulled out, not only could not find the slightest chip, scratch, or even a trace of blood.

In fact, it was not only the blade, but the two sisters went through a fierce battle, and their dresses were not even a little dusty, but Alice's hands and cheeks were coated with a layer of sweat-soaked sand, and she became like a little flower cat.

"No, no, no, it's not over yet~~"

"Isn't it, Alitzel, you want to ...... too"

Alice said, a little eager to try it, because she really wanted to see what the so-called magic really was.

You know, Ariez's deeds of using magic to sweep away the undead at the city gates, she is only hearsay at best, just when she left the city, all she could see was a collapsed city wall and a deep pit left on the ground, what happened is really unimaginable.

Aside from the tricks that Eliezer uses to explain magic, Alice hasn't had a chance to see real magic in person.

However, Alize did not fulfill her sister's wishes, and her next move betrayed Alice's expectations, and even made her puzzled and shocked.

"Hilda~~I'm going to change you next~~"

"Yes, Second Miss. ”

The maid, who had been on standby, stepped forward.

"Hmm...... Wait, you haven't had time to enchant your maid suit yet~~It's going to get dirty~~Take it off first~~"

Caught off guard, Alize gave another extremely sensitive instruction.

"Hey, what are you talking about, Eliza! Hilda, too, ignore her pranks! How can you get out of the wild in broad daylight...... Drop ......"

Alice hurriedly spoke out to stop the two of them from doing their crazy moves, but the scene unfolding in front of her made it impossible for her to finish her sentence.

Machine......

She couldn't have imagined that underneath Hilda's maid suit was not a sexy and charming female body, but a mechanical component with a ceramic texture.

It was as if Alice had been hit by a bolt from the blue, she couldn't understand what she was seeing, and she couldn't close her half-open mouth.

"Hilda~~ Let's 'eat a candy' to fill the magic power first~~ But pay attention to the proportion~~ The virtual magic power core can be filled to about 40%, and the matrix materials and wiring methods around the main power core are still very fragile, and the physical durability may not be able to withstand the power value above this~~"

Arielize's 'jargon' still caught the sisters in the dark.

Only Hilda reacted to this, seeing that her only face, which could still be called human skin, did not show the slightest emotion, she just mechanically followed the instructions, leaning down, and bringing her face closer to Elize's lips and teeth.

Then, the so-called "filling magic" was staged.

The act of "eating sugar", which should be sweet and greasy, makes people's bones soft, but now it seems that it is extremely weird, and even makes people feel creepy.

- Hilda...... Hilda: Why would she!?

Alice couldn't think of any results, she was speechless, and could only watch as the loving woman who seemed to be her own mother, at this moment, was exposing her cold inorganic body, and under her sister's inexplicable orders, she was doing strange things that exceeded her common sense.

"The mana refill is complete, and the refill rate is fixed at 141.24 percent. ”

After the two separated, Hilda spat out an emotionless voice smoothly.

At this time, the maid was no longer the original Hilda, as if the shyness and tenderness on the road before were all acting skills.

That's right, Hilda was reduced to a "weapon".

"Okay~~ Maintain the output power level at three gears~~ Then ~~ Try to expand the tactical unit, and drive all the stationary armaments, and turn on the Valkyrie mode. ”

"Under Order-Power Level 3--Tactical Unit Unfolding-"

As she repeated Arizel's instructions, Hilda's body began to change. Alice is familiar with this kind of transformation, as seen in an American movie (see Transformers), which is as rapid as cutting the shell of a machine into small pieces and turning out their internal organs.

The scenes in the movie are full of shock and functional beauty, and when those cars and planes are replaced by her familiar relatives, this scene really makes Alice's stomach churn. Even Sophia, who had always been a cold watcher, turned away as if she couldn't bear it.

“Railgun...... Active――BeamLaunchar...... Active――SprintMissile...... Active――ProgressiveBlade...... Active――BoosterWing...... Active――AllWeaponSystem――ActionCompleted――VALKRIAMODE*SET-UP......”

In the process of transformation, Hilda no longer has the kind voice that her sisters are familiar with, but has become a genuine synthesized sound.

Her body structure gradually transformed into a streamlined weapon, with a 60-centimeter-long sharp blade stretching out from the back of her left hand, and her right arm parting up and down, growing into two sets of barrel-shaped cannon shafts, one long and one short, and on both sides of the original spine behind her, huge propulsion wings were inserted.

Eventually, in addition to her face and hair, Hilda transforms into a humanoid weapon that can only be seen in anime or movies.

"Ariza ...... What the hell is this......!Why, Hilda, will!?"

"Ahahahaha~~~ It's very handsome, it's very handsome, sister~~ This is a masterpiece that I stayed up all night for~~ Although there are still a lot of equipment that I want to try, it's good to take my time~~ In short, let's test the functional strength of the existing armament today~~"

The cruel, illusory, and only science fiction scene called "Human Body Modification" is now playing out in front of Alice's eyes, and she only feels that the raging anger that will erupt at any moment is constantly expanding in her chest, and Eliza's self-aggrandizing laughter is like a magic spell, making her brain hurt as if it will explode at any moment.

However, despite this, Alice could not be angry with her beloved sister.

This feeling is not "unbearable", but "unable".

Alice then realized that her anger seemed to be imprisoned by some kind of shackle, no matter how hard she tried to open her mouth, but she could not even squeeze a word of scolding out of her throat, as if she could only obey her sister who was too mischievous.

"Hilda, help annihilate the target in front of you~~"

"Ordered, the target group is locked on, and the enemy is destroyed. ”

The thrusters spewed hot air, the knives vibrated violently, and the muzzles of the guns shone brightly.

The weapon named Hilda rushed straight towards the remnants of the beasts.
