Chapter 26: The Rupture
The silver propulsion wings spewed flames, allowing Hilda to quickly approach the herd, perhaps not as fast as Sophia alone, but the noise of the air being torn apart by the long wings during flight, and the roar of the jet crew, made her exude a compelling momentum that [Stealth Action] could not match.
Entering range, four sets of bomb bays detached from the sides of the propulsion wing behind Hilda, as well as the sides of the legs, and they were fired in a fan-shaped trajectory at four angles ahead.
After traveling a certain distance, the shell of the bomb bay fell off and separated, revealing the dense and neat warheads hidden in it, and the warheads flew out like raindrops, scattering towards the herd of demonic beasts.
There was no need to deliberately aim, the 32 by 4 groups of 128 warheads covered too widely, and the moment they touched the ground, they swept a large area directly in front of them into a sea of fire.
Hot air and burning smoke swept through the grassland in an instant.
In fact, the gunpowder used in these warheads is just a random trial product, and it does not have too strong explosive power, at least not comparable to Alice's fists and kicks.
But despite this, the rain of missiles still caused considerable results, and dozens of demonic beasts died on the spot in the thick smoke.
They were not killed by the force of the warhead's detonation, nor did they die from the orange-red flames that ignited, but because of the large amount of hot smoke inhaled in the explosion, which caused severe burns to the respiratory tract.
Wild animals are afraid of blazing flames, and Warcraft is no exception.
Suddenly, the fire caused them to instinctively flee in all directions, and Hilda turned off the main engine of the propulsion wing, and activated the brake nozzles installed at the front of the legs, which were reversed to complete the suspended braking.
At the same time, two sets of gun muzzles arranged on the right arm, located on the upper thin and longer gun body, composed of two parallel rails, began to operate first.
Pulses of electric currents strong enough to be detected flew up the sides of the conduit at a rapid pace, and then a cone-shaped projectile made of reinforced metal flew away from the chamber at a terrifying muzzle velocity of more than twenty kilometers per second in the electromagnetic acceleration of the orbit.
The rhinoceros-type demonic beast located in front of the aim was pierced by the shelling on the spot, and the rocky skin, which even Alice's fist could not directly penetrate, was as fragile as tofu.
Hit the target, turn the muzzle, and fire again.
There is no point in escaping, because with the foot of the demonic beast, there is no way to escape the speed and range of the magnetic cannon.
You know, it has an effective range of up to a thousand kilometers, and theoretically it is even farther, but the shells themselves cannot withstand the air friction during the flight and will be vaporized halfway.
Unfortunately, the fixed-point shooting didn't last long, as the enemies didn't just stay on the ground, there were also a large number of flying monsters in mid-air.
Faced with the light and agile flying beasts, the long cannon became difficult to hit, and the length of the cannon body became a burden, Hilda decisively gave up shooting, rekindled the flame of the propulsion wing, and began to soar like a fighter jet, engaging in aerial combat with a large number of flying monsters.
As she maneuvered, the blade of Hilda's left arm began to hum and whisper, and she swung her blade down as she slammed into her foe.
The flying demonic beast originally did not possess too thick fur, and the cutting ability displayed by the blade that maintained high-frequency vibration was far superior to that of ordinary blades, and it was enough to cut it in two just by sliding it slightly.
Hilda's agile short-range maneuvers hovered through the air, slashing down all the enemies that stood in her path, and unwittingly, attracting a large number of monsters to line up behind her with a black tail.
And at this moment, a series of inorganic synthesized sounds flowed out of her mouth-
"BeamLaunchar, charge up, calculate the best tactical position, compare the angle range of the beam axis, set the ...... of the convergence rate"
Then, on the way up, Hilda braked sharply and flipped her body, pointing the thicker and shorter muzzle of the lower end of her right hand at the "tail" of the large herd of monsters following behind her.
"Liberate the gravitational restraint, the retraction rate has reached a critical point, and the irradiation ......"
In an instant, the thick pillars of azure light converged into a rushing stream, pouring out from the muzzle of the cannon to the rear, and in the distance it looked as if the Milky Way had turned into a waterfall and poured down from the sky.
The black crushing beasts were swallowed up by a waterfall of light, their flesh was instantly disintegrated by the incredible density of magic, and after ten seconds of continuous irradiation, the light continued to thin and finally disappeared, leaving nothing left, leaving only crystal clear crystals falling towards the ground.
"Wow~~~A lot of magic cores~~~"
This scene made Alizze cheer excitedly, but she immediately showed an embarrassed look again, "Ah...... Awful ......"
Because of the abnormality of Shilda in mid-air, intense electric light drilled from all over her body, and bursts of black smoke continued to rise from her joints. The flames of the propulsion wings behind her also became faint, and soon, Hilda's body lost its ability to stay in the air and began to fall freely with gravity.
And just below where she fell, there was a herd of demonic beasts that were eyeing each other.
"Hmm~~~ Sure enough, the burden of the cannon is still too great~~ There's no way, after all, it's still an experiment, and improving the durability of the armament is the next improvement goal~~"
Unbelievably, in the face of this dangerous situation, Alize actually had a relaxed tone that had nothing to do with herself.
"Elize! Sophia--what are you going to do! If this goes on Hilda, Hilda will die!"
Alice was so anxious that she couldn't resist the urge to rush into the herd and save Hilda, but she knew that even if she did, it wouldn't help, because she didn't have the speed to break through the enemy line easily, and she didn't have the means to sweep them all at once.
"Eh~~?, but sister~~ I also want her to accumulate some damage appropriately and test the recovery performance of the self-healing armor~~"
“......”
Alizee pursed her lips in displeasure, addressing Hilda as if she were handling a prop. Sophia, on the side, continued to remain silent, as if she was deliberately ignoring herself.
The attitude of the two made Alice angry, and she couldn't understand why her sisters could treat their family so coldly, but Hilda had loved the three of them as her own since she was a child, and she was like an important woman like a mother.
But Alyse actually transformed her into a weapon for no reason, and forcibly threw her into the battlefield, and even deliberately injured her, and even put her in danger as if watching a play.
At the same time, Alice couldn't understand why she couldn't be angry with her cruel sister when she was so sad.
Thinking back further, it is not difficult to find that not only now, but even earlier, this strange feeling has existed in her heart.
Alice would not be able to doubt Eliza's words, oppose Eliza's opinions, or refuse Eliza's orders.
Her sisters are all she has, and she must pour all her love and care into them.
But why?
Now that her emotions are extremely contradictory, Alice finally realizes this indescribable sense of incongruity, as if the depths of her mind are filled with a lingering fog, and her consciousness is forcibly distorted by "something".
Just as Alice was in a state of inner tangle, Hilda had fallen into the herd, the enraged beast roaring and lunging at the immobile maid.
At the same time, Arizel uses her magic to summon a crystal ball in mid-air, and the orb plays out the suffering of Hilda at this moment.
The maid's mecha-like body was mercilessly slapped, torn, and gnawed. But she didn't let out a single scream, nor did she show a trace of pain, like a broken doll, allowing the monsters to inflict damage on her body.
"Uh-huh...... The recovery rate is only maintained at 35%.,No~~~ It's a problem with the basic material.,Sure enough, carbon steel alone can't effectively conduct magic~~"
Arize rested her chin on her small hand, took in the scrutiny of Hilda's plight, and began to talk to herself, then snapped her fingers and put away the crystal ball that looked like a live broadcast screen.
"It's almost, that's the end of the assessment~~ Little sister, wait to help find the right time to recover Hilda~~Please~~"
“......”
After Sophia nodded wordlessly, Eliezer finally took action.
I saw a huge array of light based on Ariz's feet, and it quickly spawned towards the group of demonic beasts that were sniping in the direction of Hilda, until all the beasts were enveloped in it, and then-
"Gravity hell. ”
The words that fell from her lips triggered a drastic change in the next moment, and a miracle called "magic" was staged.
It was imperceptible to the naked eye, some kind of powerful force that was difficult to resist, and in an instant, it was as if time had been frozen, and thousands of demonic beasts were suppressed to the ground, unable to move.
A terrible sight.
Not to mention the limbs, the monsters couldn't even open their jaws and moan, just like rats caught by the sticky mouse board, they could only twitch and struggle, and saliva and feces and urine spurted all over the ground.
Alice finally got her wish to witness Alezer in action, and although she had lost the interest in watching, she was still stunned by the actual scene.
The range of the magic covers almost all areas of vision, and the effect is even more incomprehensible.
If it is in the game, such an unnatural crowd control effect has undoubtedly ruined the balance of the game.
"What the hell is this ......"
With no experience with the game or reading, Sophia is more shocked than Alice at the strange spectacle created by magic.
"It's just a very simple technique~~ As long as the magnification of gravity is increased within a fixed range and distance, it is not too high, about twenty times~~ and there is no need to change the direction of gravity, the operation is quite simple~~"
"I see, gravity operation, it's really a whimsical trick. ”
"Okay, it's done~~Little sister is fast~~ The effect of gravity binding won't last long, and you can pick it up after you put the magic core, so help recover Hilda first~"
Eliza's voice was like a bell of pleasure, and she raised her face as if she were showing off her abilities to the two sisters.
"Hilda...... Is she okay......"
However, Alice's voice was so painful that she vomited blood, and she buried her head so deep that her sisters could not see her expression.
"Well~~ The external armor must be reimbursed~~ But the core components have a lot of protection, and they won't be damaged easily~~"
"Sister Eliza...... Say no more. ”
Sophia interjected suddenly, interrupting Eliez's next words, as if sensing some terrible crisis, her expression revealed unprecedented tension and unease.
"Eh, why is it~~That's the case~~ Anyway, the armament and armor can be replaced at any time~~ It doesn't matter if the body is thrown away, just pick up her head~~"
At the moment when these words came out, Alize didn't expect that a heavy cannonball shot into her cheek.
By the time she reacted and subconsciously unfolded the magic enchantment for physical protection, she could no longer offset the impact that was too close to her body, and her delicate body was knocked out along with the magic enchantment.
This punch came from her sister, Alice El Crusnier.
Keeping her fist swinging, Alice's pupils shrank sharply with anger, and her lovely face twisted into a ball, like a roaring lion.
"Just now...... What did you say...... Say it again, and listen to it!
"Eh~~?sister~~What's wrong~~Did I say something wrong~~?I just asked my little sister to recycle Hilda~~?Why did you hit me......?"
Arize, who fell, asked incredulously, but even though she was left with a large and shocking abrasion on her arm, she still did not show the slightest sadness, nor did she let go of the bunny doll in her arms. Instead, he stood up with his usual smile and floated in a strange way.
At the same time, her wounds had healed rapidly in the faint aurora light.
"Why ......? Why did I ask you, right??Why did you change Hilda to look like that!Who gave you the right to hurt her and torture her?What do you mean by 'just reclaim the head......'! She's our closest family! and...... You guy, what the hell ...... What the hell did it do to me, and why did I ...... Yes...... Woowoo...... Whoaaa
Alice's intense feelings finally erupted, not only with anger, but also with unbearable sadness. She didn't expect that just throwing a punch at Aliezer would cause her heart to suffer a sharp pain like a knife.
Contradictions, pains, regrets...... Alice let out a cry of struggle as she felt the pain that seemed to tear her heart apart. Her nails dug into the flesh of her palms, and bright red blood continued to drip between her fingers.
"No more...... Sister Eliza, unravel the mental hints imposed on Sister Alice!"
Sophia said eagerly, as if she knew from the beginning why Alice was like this.
"But, but!"
"Quick! She is different from me, she has not undergone the spiritual training of anti-torture, and she doesn't know how to take the initiative to overcome logical contradictions, so her personality will collapse!"
"Okay, okay~~! I'm going to ......"
In the next moment, Alice's fierce struggle suddenly became relaxed, and the fog that had been in her mind all this time was also cleared.
- It turned out that her spirit was controlled by her.
Alice, who came to her senses, immediately understood this, and then, in her heart, there was no longer any contradiction, only pure and only emotion - anger.
It's not just the hatred of the inhumane transformation of the human body, it's not just the pain of being manipulated to play with feelings, it's the resentment of being buried in the snow-white laboratory.
Alice, no longer feeling the intense resentment and grief of attacking her sister, and no longer feeling the twisted love in her breast, was finally able to break free from her shackles and mercilessly unleash a whirlwind of fists and feet against the magic-wielding scientific madman.
Attacked by a storm, Alize still had a smile on her face, and while maintaining the defensive barrier, she innocently asked her murderous sister-
"Na~~~ Sister, why are you angry~~?If you have any troubles, what do you want, just tell me, I will definitely achieve it for you~~ No matter what it is~~ Alize will achieve it for you~~ So sister, don't be angry anymore~~"
Elize's sweet words were met with hysterical attacks.
"Anything will happen for me, then turn Hilda back to her original form!!turn her back into that motherly and gentle maid!!"
"Hmm!mm~~!I know, I'll develop a new armor when I go back, and perfectly simulate the form of the human body~~"
With a single punch, the barrier of magic was shattered.
"Then let me go back to Earth!!Let me go back to a civilized society with Internet, computers, air conditioners, and mobile phones!!"
"Hmmmm~~!I know, I'll build an energy station, make electrical appliances, and set up the Internet when I go back~~"
Another punch, the finger bones shattered the skin and opened the flesh.
"Why am I in such an inexplicable place, being your guinea pig bastard!!"
"Sister is not a guinea pig~~ Sister is Ariza the dearest family ~~"
With another punch, Eliez's magical barrier was pierced, and Alice's wrist joint was dislocated.
"Arize, I'll work hard, I'll work hard~~ So my sister ......"
Before Aliezel finished speaking, she didn't have time to construct a defensive technique again, and she was faced with a punch that carried Alice's anger.
No matter how good a mage Eliser is, she is still only a fragile flesh and blood.
If you get hit, I'm afraid you'll die.
However, the punch missed the target. Because, something sturdy suddenly blocked between the two sisters.
The scarred fist was buried in the porcelain doll body - it was Hilda.
The broken puppet, which only had the upper half of its body left, actually overcame the restraint of twenty times the force of gravity, spanning a distance of hundreds of meters, and blocked a blow that might be enough to kill Arize.
Then, the unrecognizable Hilda made an unpleasant mechanical sound, and she couldn't even pronounce the full sentence.
"Love-love-Lis-size-sister-hurry-stop-"
The maid's request made Alice hesitate, and the anger in her heart was extinguished......
Sadness and remorse filled her heart again......
This time, it was not the result of some kind of mental control, but a very natural emotion.
"Sister Alice, that's enough...... Let's go home today. ”
"My sister is injured~~ Let me help you heal~~"
Alice's heart was full of mixed feelings, she sank her face again, turned around, and left only a sentence as if she was making trouble-
"Leave me alone...... I'm not your sister...... And I haven't forgotten it...... You have caused me to become like this...... The culprit ......!"
Then, in the direction of the city of Celia, she stepped silently.
“......”
Sophia frowned, her expression helpless, but she didn't know what to do, so she had to pick up the wreckage of Hilda, who was completely silent, and silently follow Alice's back.
"Sister, little sister~~Wait for me~~"
Alize was the only one, with a heartless smile, bouncing behind the two.
However, no one could notice that one of the rabbits in her arms had been torn off the strings, and a large amount of cotton had been spilled onto the grass.
The three sisters, who originally planned to come to play in the wild, ushered in an unexpected and worst ending.
