Chapter 60: The Giant Puppet
A silver-gray golem that is at least twice as tall as Alice.
It swung its fists, leaving a deep pit in the ground as if it had been bombarded, and the body of the puppet seemed to be a porcelain material, but it was harder than steel.
I thought it was bulky, but it wasn't slow at all.
The huge body makes the range of its swing extremely wide, and there is no room to dodge in the narrow passage.
It was a showdown with a real monster that John had never experienced before.
In the face of overwhelming destructive force, his legs seemed to be filled with lead, and he could only tremble, unable to move half a minute at all.
Lovely Lisy is different, she uses a light posture, with the slightest amplitude, like a flying swallow to dodge the fatal blows again and again.
Of course, there are also some attacks that are absolutely impossible to dodge, because once dodged, the fist will fall on John behind him.
Having said that, Alice did not choose a frontal hard block, but calmly and skillfully slapped the huge arm and wrist that rushed straight from the side, just the right amount to stagger the trajectory of the heavy punch.
"Uncle Charlie, take little John to safety!"
"Ah...... Oh!!"
John watched as his father lowered his body and rushed towards him in a desperate fleeing stance, and after picking himself up, he retreated sharply without looking back. The girl was left alone.
John wanted to ask his father why he had left Alice behind - but he couldn't, and even as a young man he knew that the giant in front of him was not a monster that his father could handle, and even if he did, Charlie would die in an instant.
But why? John couldn't understand why Alice could be so calm when she was just a girl of her own age, and where did that confidence and courage come from?
【Magic Pattern Recognition...... Alice El Crusnell...... Safety Goals, Action Termination ...... Termination failed...... Alice...... Exterminate...... Destroy ......]
At this moment, the giant's originally unemotional voice suddenly swelled with inexplicable anger, and at the same time, the speed and power of its wielding limbs increased to a higher level.
"Miss Alice, do you know it??"
"No, no, no, I don't have any acquaintances like Captain Orangutan. ”
【Stinky ...... Girl...... Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu...... It's because you...... That's how it becomes...... Exterminate...... Dead ......]
The golem giant spiraled out of control, and its attacks intensified, leaving the battle one-sided. The huge difference in body size leads to a difference in the perception of speed.
In Alice's mind, the rampaging body was like a truck, and even if it was lightly rubbed, it could withstand a violent impact.
-- So, here's the problem...... How do you beat it?
Alice dodged a punch sideways and slammed her shoulder, sending the giant staggering backwards. Then she stood in a lunge posture, starting with her heels, and rotating all the joints of her body from the bottom up, so that the energy of the dantian flowed through her body, and finally condensed to a point that burst out from the bottom of her palm.
Perfect timing, swing a full blow. However, as if he had known from the beginning that Alice would do this, the giant crossed his thick arms in time to block the palm from the front.
The back of the giant's hand was dented and cracked, but it quickly returned to its original state.
"Tsk, this feels...... That kind of armor. Why did my moves ......, though?"
Alice no longer makes a fuss about the automatic recovery of the armor, but the miss of the blow makes her deeply puzzled.
[Same ...... Target...... Moves...... Other...... Thought it could ...... Always...... It worked]
"You're the Golden Saint Seiya, hey!"
Alice reflexively complained and immediately began to search for her memories. The implication of the giant's words is that he has seen Alice's combination moves.
But as she said before, since she came to this world, she has not had the experience of fighting this kind of monster. In fact, the characters who fought with Alice have all died. Because now she can't control the severity of her shots.
No, not all of them died, I remember hearing my sister mention that only one of the bandits who attacked the lord's mansion that night escaped death.
"Are you the thief uncle?"
A rude man flashed through Alice's mind, the leader of the bandits who had attacked her with dastardly means that night.
[This time...... Certain...... Kill your ......]
The monster neither affirmed nor denied, and didn't even know if it still had any sense, but just swung its fists like a whirlwind and frantically attacked its opponents.
Alice carefully tread her steps and moved to her side, little by little, luring the giant's thump away from John and Charlie.
"Hah!
Although the puppet giant's strength is great, its movements are simple and straight, and Alice has no trouble dodging.
In the face of the giant's fists taking turns, Alice only dodged left and right with minimal stride. It's like juggling on a highway with speeding traffic.
Generally speaking, this kind of crazy action requires a lot of concentration, and the mind can be crushed when the mind is weakened. But for Alice, this is not the case. She didn't think, she didn't need to concentrate. Even when her brain stops working, her body responds naturally.
Normally, there is no chance of success in blindly dodging, and the puppet giant, unlike the mortal Alice, does not fatigue or feel pain.
This leads to many tricks in fighting people, which don't come in handy against it. Once time drags on, the situation will only become more and more unfavorable for Alice.
The giant's armor is also hard, and weak attacks can't inflict fatal injuries at all, while normal damage will revert to its original shape in the blink of an eye. The attrition is one-sided, and at first glance it looks like a desperate war situation.
But Alice was not in a hurry, and there was no trace of anxiety on her face, but a smile that grew more and more excited, like a child who had received a new toy.
Taking a deep breath, Alice maintained a dodging mechanical movement, holding her breath. The teachings of my father from my previous life reappeared in my mind.
-- Stinky boy, listen up, the so-called head and feet are the world, and the shoulders, knees, elbows, and hips are square. Before punching, you must first understand that the strength of the fist is based on the lower plate, and the air is calm and stable, and the air is floating. You have to press down the true qi that sinks in the dantian, pass through the spring, inject your feet, and fall into a thousand catties......
Alice's lower plate did not have any movement, she gently squatted and steadied her steps, allowing the fighting qi to slowly sink into her lower limbs along the meridians, and only used her upper limbs and waist movements to cope with the stormy attack of the giants.
-- It means first, qi is the mainstay, and the force is instantaneous. Don't seek precision in moves, but seek fist intent first. Lead the qi with the will, urge the force with the qi, and ...... with the force Collapse the enemy.
No matter what the object, there are "collapse points" that carry the weight of the whole body, and the heavier the object, the easier it is to collapse. Even the towering mountains will fall apart for this "point".
Alice quietly imprints her opponent's every move in her mind, not confused by complicated things, but only to find the "collapse point" wholeheartedly
-- The key to making a move is to collapse, shake, and sudden. Qi should penetrate the feet, knees, straddles, shoulders, elbows, and fists.
Since coming to this world, Alice has been able to feel the surging of "energy" in her body more clearly than in her previous life. While the "Dou Qi" is swimming in the meridians, she is able to control and control its flow. With the flow of fighting energy, the surface of the skin exudes a shallow golden glow.
Alice doesn't know the science, she's a sensor, she just follows her instincts and lets her fighting spirit flow and condense in her body. Wherever Jin Mang goes, there will be a force that makes him comfortable.
-- A good opportunity to make a move......
However, at this moment, a scene that frightened Alice happened.
Perhaps sensing the danger, the puppet giant stopped attacking him, but took a big stride and roared towards Charles and John on the other side of the passage.
Although the two of them avoided the distance of more than ten meters, this was only a few steps for the giant's stride.
"Damn!
In an instant, the "qi" in Alice's body became turbulent like a tsunami, and the body that was detached from the fighting qi quickly expanded, churning violently, pressing the blood vessels and about to come out.
At the same time, before the brain could give a command, Alice's body moved instinctively.
It's like a roller coaster climbing to the top and falling suddenly, Alice's consciousness has been completely thrown away from her body, and she can't keep up with the violent momentum of her legs.
When he came back to his senses, he had already grabbed John and Charlie in front of him, and the giant porcelain fist was almost close to the tip of his nose.
-- The good opportunity lies in luring the enemy to strike first, and then forcibly opening the door by means of breaking open and bursting.
Alice shook her upper limbs sideways, and the giant's fist grazed her cheeks, leaving bright blood marks. At this time, in her eyes, the giant's movements are like a slow-running film, allowing her to clearly capture every frame without a single detail.
Before her fist could hit the two behind her, Alice jerked her elbow, her skin rubbing against her porcelain armor to create a high heat, followed by a burning pain.
The falling punch deviated from its original trajectory and passed by John, who was still standing.
The miss of the blow sent the puppet giant's giant fist into the ground, and the body fell forward, opening the atrium. This is the moment that Alice was waiting for. She exerted her legs and climbed all the way up to the back of the puppet's wobbly hand. Along the way, the golden rays that glittered all over his body condensed towards the right hand on his waist, until his fist bloomed like a jewel lamp.
- Exhale, punch out. The momentum is as fast as lightning. Powerful as a broken bow, like thunder!
Her target is the shoulders of the puppet giants. It is the most important joint for attacking, and it is also the weakest point for bearing the burden of inertia.
"Drink, ah!"
Approaching the closest distance, Alice integrated all the fighting energy of her body into a punch and struck out with all her strength.
At the moment of the strike, the right fist buries itself into the surface of the armor, digging through the cobweb-like rift, and then shattering. The puppet giant's shoulder exploded in front of Alice's hand.
Then, not only the shoulder, but the crack quickly spread to the giant's body, and finally, the entire ketone body scattered like a collapsing bridge.
- Victorious......
In John's eyes at this time, Alice's petite figure seemed to be bigger than the silver-gray monster.
[Damage to the body...... Rate...... 85%...... OVER...... Armor...... Recover...... Barrier...... Stop it...... Operation...... Damn it...... Damn ...... Stinking...... Girl...... Stop it...... Operational ......】
The puppet giant fell silent in a staccato discrepancy, as if carrying unwilling emotions.
"Aha...... Break through the maze, settle the boss, the game is over~~ Now it's time to rest assured!"
Alice turned around and lifted her shoulders boldly, wiping the blood from the sweat drops with her pink shoulders. A hearty and charming smile was put on John.
