Chapter 171: The Long Day (Ending)
The moment the [Berserker] card was activated, the surface of the pure white armor emitted a scorching red light, and Charlie's actions also changed qualitatively. www.biquge.info In a split second, he grabbed the right leg of a Gargoyle Samurai' and forcibly dragged it to the ground, lifting it up and smashing its head with a single kick.
Just one action, Charlie's speed, reactions, strength, and performance at all levels seem to have changed as if he has changed a person, showing the ability to fight as if he is above Alice.
At this time, Charlie began to recall Eliza's description of the [Berserker] card a few days ago.
Originally, the original design intention of [Berserker] was to allow users of [Luna Armor] to obtain several times more combat power within a limited period of time, and the card developed for a short decisive battle with a strong enemy, or a high-speed suppression battle against a stronghold, can be said to be a 'killer feature' in the true sense. However, in order to achieve the effect that is often seen in fiction anime, it is actually not as easy as you think.
After all, it is living people, not machines, who fight in armor. The hardware ability of the human body needs to be exercised to accumulate, and it will not get any explosive improvement because of simply improving the energy supply. To this end, Aliezel has made various attempts.
Take the 'trial product' that Charlie is using now, for example, three experimental methods have been invested to carry out three-dimensional compound strengthening.
One of them: biokinetic energy enhancement.
After loading the [Berserker], the helmet part of the [Luna Armor] will first stimulate the user's brain at a specific frequency of high-frequency, thereby forcibly accelerating the secretion of hormones required by the body's organs, so that the nerves and muscles are in a state of excitement.
At the same time, it is also injected intravenously into several important parts of the body, thereby accelerating the energy conversion process within the human body and producing a large amount of 'adenine nucleoside triphosphate'.
The so-called 'adenine nucleoside triphosphate' is an important substance that is produced by biological cells during movement and converts chemical energy into pure kinetic energy in the body.
Especially in aerobic exercise, the efficiency will be greatly improved, but in the face of the vigorous exercise behavior of 'fighting', in fact, most of the cells are in anaerobic respiration, in short, normal people in battle, the energy conversion rate is actually quite low.
Therefore, in response to this, the injection at this time is precisely to solve this problem, which is a special agent that can strengthen the oxygen-carrying function of hemoglobin, so that the human cells can maximize aerobic respiration in a short period of time, and finally let the body muscles obtain unimaginable huge energy in the past.
As a result, Charlie's strength and athleticism have improved dramatically.
Second: Nerve impulse acceleration.
Organisms depend on the nervous system for their perception of the outside world, and the cells of the nervous system are like cables in all corners of the body. When a cell is stimulated, a positive charge is generated in this localized area to generate nerve impulses, which are then transmitted to adjacent cells in turn and finally reach the brain. After the brain gets the signal, it sends feedback instructions to the muscles through the motor nerves.
In other words, the process of 'detecting the attack' to 'avoiding' and then 'releasing the counterattack' seems to be only for a moment, but in fact, after a whole set of information back and forth transmission and process, the feedback delay during the period is absolutely unavoidable.
As a countermeasure, Alize used the quantum winding characteristics of magic to replace the surface of the human skin with the demonized carbon steel material of the [Luna Armor], that is, at this time, Charlie's armor replaced his own nervous system, and the muscle activity of the whole body is no longer through sensory nerves, but all by quantum conduction.
As a result, his reaction ability at this time has far exceeded the limits of living beings.
Thirdly, and finally, the muscles are restricted to blunt.
In daily activities, in order to protect the body from trauma, the brain will instinctively limit the strength of human muscles, and the limit is about 20%. On Earth, exercise and medication can increase the limit, but the maximum is about 30 to 35 percent.
But in this world, due to the existence of the concept of 'Dou Qi' and 'Magic', the amount of this restriction will be higher, Alieza has done some research and statistics on this, take Alice as an example, her body is protected by 'Golden Dou Qi', her muscle restrictions can be liberated to a maximum of 95 percent, and the instantaneous force can reach more than 20 tons, basically, this has exerted the theoretical limit of the human body.
Although Charlie is far inferior to Alice, he used to be an adventurer and has a certain experience in martial arts, so his fighting spirit is also stronger than ordinary people, and after Sophia's militarized training and Arizer's human body strengthening course, his muscle restrictions in battle can also be liberated to about forty-five percent.
If this limit is exceeded, then it will go beyond the protection of 'vindictive energy', which will cause severe trauma to the body tissues and produce violent pain.
Therefore, the effect of [berserker] is to blunt this 'pain' and increase the muscle limit to about 60% at the risk of damage to the body.
Then, combined with the massive kinetic energy generated by aerobic breathing and the extremely sharp sensory nerves, Charlie's body is now transformed into a machine only for battle. As a rough estimate, after loading the [Berserker], he has at least three times the original combat power.
The 'Gargoyle Warrior' didn't have time to adjust to the sudden increase in power, and in the next minute, it was only a one-move effort, and he was half defeated by Charlie.
Sensing the danger, the remaining Gargoyle Warriors shrewdly spread their wings and fled into the air, probably thinking that even if the enemy was strengthened, Charlie would be powerless as long as they hid in the air. But it turns out - they couldn't be more wrong.
Behind the [Luna Armor], the long wings of steel emitted white flames, and a scarlet meteor followed the enemy's distant back and rushed into the sky.
In the previous equipment evaluation, Ariza finally limited the cruising speed to 70 kilometers, but at this time, Charlie's flight speed has undoubtedly been lifted.
Originally, Charlie, who was carrying [Rider] alone, did not have the skills to fly freely, but with the ability bonus of [Berserker], he became as easy as an eagle to fly in the air.
Thanks to the effect of 'nerve impulse acceleration', Charlie now not only has gained extraordinary sensory reflexes, but also greatly strengthened his body's balance and spatial cognition.
In front of them, the steel knight and the 'gargoyle samurai' are engaged in a fierce battle like an ace air battle. Charlie tirelessly repeats the mechanical act of finding a target, locking onto a target, firing, slashing, and switching targets.
At this time, Charlie couldn't think about anything other than destroying the enemy's accident, he was being forced by the [Luna Armor] to calculate every trace of information from the surface of the armor, and his brain cells were destroyed by a huge amount of information, and he had become delirious.
That's right...... True to the literal meaning of "berserker", Charlie has become a complete berserker.
He fights like a mad monster, tearing the limbs of monsters to shreds with his vibrating blades, shoves the muzzle of an assault rifle into the mouths of his opponents, punches a grenade with a fuse drawn into the belly of his enemies, and his overwhelming combat power and random means knock his enemies down one by one until he ...... There is no moving object in sight anymore.
- Did you win......? No, not yet!
Charlie concluded that the battle was not over...... He maintained the fire of the thruster in this way, and kept himself in mid-air. If it were normal, he would have gathered his arms after the total destruction of the enemy, but now his battlefield instincts, which are sharp enough to make his head hurt, are constantly issuing warnings.
It's not so much intuition, but rather the magic perception and conduction performance of the [Luna Armor] is playing a role faithfully, for the current Charlie, the surface of the armor is equivalent to a part of his body, and the 'magic pattern fluctuations' that were not felt by human skin can also be clearly captured at this time.
Although the Gargoyle Samurai was defeated by himself, the stinging sensation like an electric shock that permeated the air lingered for a long time, and even became more and more intense.
Then, within a few seconds, I don't know whether to say that it was expected or unexpected, played out before Charlie's eyes. The corpses of those demonic beasts that had been smashed to pieces by themselves actually squirmed again. The pieces of meat from the remains of the ten demonic beasts quickly condensed towards the same point as if they had a gravitational pull on each other.
The corpses were pieced together to form a new body. No, it's not so much a patchwork as a "fusion". The gargoyle warrior's body disintegrated, reassembled, and deformed, and finally fused into a large sphere, which could be clearly seen from the surface of the sphere like thick blood vessels, and at the same time emitted unsettling pulsations as if it were pregnant with something.
There is no need to guess at all, it must be an 'egg'.
And it's hard to imagine what kind of monster the 'egg' condensed from the corpse of a powerful A-class demonic beast is inside it.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!!"
Charlie, of course, didn't watch the monster inside burst out of the shell, he flew down, stabbing the tip of his shield sword into the surface of the dome, and at the same time pulling the trigger with the assault rifle close to the eggshell. At this moment, the roar of the man, the friction and vibration of the blade, and the continuous sound of gunfire were intertwined.
A crack was punched through the surface of the giant egg, revealing the inside of the eggshell, which was developing halfway through the flesh and blood of disgusting tissue, and at the same time spewed out a fierce white light from the crack.
The white light struck the shield sword that pierced deep into the eggshell, blocked by the spatial stagnant barrier of the [Luna Armor]...... But there was no gap, and it was a second shot, this time along with Charlie's entire right arm.
I saw that the incomparably hard demonized carbon steel, as well as the magically immune Qingyuan dragon scales, could not play the slightest defensive role, and they were all shattered by this white light at the same time.
Just one blow to the face made Charlie, who was in the best condition, lose an arm before he even had time to react.
It's unbelievable that a monster that hasn't been born yet has such terrifying powers. The driving time of [Berserker] will soon reach its limit, but it is precisely because of the time limit of [Berserker] that Charlie gradually regained his senses, but with it, the pain all over his body became clearer and clearer.
But once he loses the power of the Berserker, Charlie will lose the power to confront the monster that is about to be born.
――What should I do?Run away!?
Now that enough time has been bought for Alice, as long as the thrusters are fully open, she may be able to escape. However, once you escape, this monster that can easily shatter the [Luna Armor] will be born.
The ground beneath his feet was now only a stone's throw away from Celeria, and if such a monster were allowed to attack the town, the consequences would be unimaginable.
In fact, Charlie couldn't guess the true meaning of these terrifying monsters until this moment.
Perhaps, like any other ordinary monster, these monsters are simply seeking to destroy and kill. After all, Warcraft exists in the world, which in itself is a sin, and Charlie, who was once an adventurer, is convinced of it.
But after the actual engagement, Charlie can be sure that these enemies have a clear goal and will. Why did they come from? friend or foe, and what was the connection with the spear that fell from the sky? Charlie's mind was filled with questions, but it did not affect what judgment he should have made at this time.
-- Achieving the greatest result with the least sacrifice is my aesthetics.
――How to use the weapon depends on how the user judges himself~~
――Even if you miss it, it doesn't matter, right?
- Charlie, I hope you can help my daughters......
The faces of the three girls and their fathers flashed before their eyes in turn......
- My father was once a famous adventurer and a righteous hero!
In the end, his son's confident smile on his chest made the pure white knight show a resolute look.
"[Caster] load!!, fully armed, unfolded-!!"
With the man's shout, I saw that the huge heavy firearm was like a flower bud about to bloom, and it swelled up in the gap of the giant egg.
Then, with the sound of intense spraying and plosives, a small hill on the north side of the farm bloomed with orange-red flowers that burst into the sky, and finally when the fire and flames dissipated, only a charred and deep crater remained......
