The crimson light tightened, encircling the strange gas.

Maki Hattori was excited:

"Hee-hee.

"You're pretty big, but you're not good enough to see."

The one she had eliminated was significantly more agile than it was, despite its small size, and it looked like a bulky living target.

"Purr!"

Faced with an extremely dangerous situation, the strange gas gas mouth sprayed thick smoke mixed with sparks.

Black smoke and sparks then silt up on the surface of the hollowed-out metal tortoise shell, forming a hard deck that resembles volcanic rock.

At the same time, the crimson thread swarmed and cut at its shell.

CHUA——

Sparks splash.

The tooth-aching sound of metal grinding sounded, and Maki Hattori didn't bother to cover his ears and stared intently at the center of the collision.

It lasted for more than 10 seconds, and the fire slowly dissipated.

Musashino and Hattori Maki hurriedly looked.

It was quiet in the smoke.

"Success?"

Roar –

Before she could cheer, the familiar low roar came again, two clusters of faint blue flames in the smoke and dust.

It's the weird gas eyes!

Whew!

It opened its mouth and blew away the dust, walls, and broken glass around it, and reappeared in front of the two of them.

Maki Hattori was stunned for a moment:

Finished, intact?!

Only then did she notice that the surface of the metal skeleton of the strange gas was covered with a layer of black hard plate, which was supposed to be made of energy crystallization.

"It's ......

"Defensive skills?"

It's a wasteland creature with an ability!

Musashino was still eating melons quietly in the rear, and he didn't see Hattori Maki's face now with a big embarrassment:

Well......

It's a back and forth, right?

Just now it only used a drop of blood in the abdomen to create such a strong attack, so there must be more powerful means, and it seems that I can't make a move.

But out of politeness, it's better to ask.

He waved his hand:

"Hattori-san, do you need my help?"

"No!"

Maki Hattori decisively refused.

The old lady doesn't believe it, I can't solve it!

She narrowed her eyes.

Although she said that it didn't matter, she was well aware that the problem was not simple.

This is not the usual weird gas.

Rather, it is a rare and rare species.

Strange gas is born in narrow pipes, so most of them are mutated from small mice, they are very weak in combat and have no extraordinary abilities.

But some are not.

Cats, dogs, and birds, in rare cases, can also strayed into gas pipes and cause mutations.

They are relatively rare and much more powerful.

For example, the strange gas mutated by cats can master the ability of "high-speed movement", which is very difficult to capture.

"This big guy......

"It was probably a turtle before the mutation."

Maki Hattori held out his index finger.

The wound that had just been cut to take blood had already scabbed.

"One more drop at most."

Her mutated blood contains a large number of catalytic enzymes that can strengthen materials or weapons to make them more lethal.

But enzymes are finite.

It seemed that the strengthening silk thread had only consumed a drop of blood just now, but in fact, that drop of blood contained nearly half of the catalytic enzymes in her body.

Maki Hattori took off the baton hanging from his waist and looked at the strange gas.

Sharp-eyed.

"It's you, I'm going to eat a lot of nutrients when I go back this time!"

The strange gas trembled.

Its small blue eyes flickered with great bewilderment.

"Once you eat too much, you will become swollen and fat.

"So you......

Maki Hattori lifted his baton and pointed it at the strange gas.

"Unforgivable!"

She slashed her fingertips again, blood dripping and her baton trembling violently.

Buzz –

The baton was shrouded in crimson light, and bright red energy crystals appeared at both ends, and the crystals grew rapidly, extending it into a lightsaber.

At this time, she is like a Jedi.

Maki Hattori held a lightsaber and slashed straight at the opponent's neck.

The red light shone on the strange gas's face, and it had the idea of flinching for a moment.

Duck for a while.

Its metal tortoise shell spun several times at high speed, its head and limbs dissipated into smoke, and it retracted into the shell motionless.

Wow!!

Lightsaber cleaves on turtle shells.

"Don't think that shrinking up, I won't be able to get rid of you!"

She stomped on the shell of the turtle, clenched the hilt of her sword with both hands, gritted her teeth and stabbed hard.

Zilala——

The lightsaber sank into the turtle's shell at a slow speed, and it took a minute to pierce it visually.

And at this time, the strange gas suddenly moved.

It shook a few times, and its body swelled in a circle visible to the naked eye.

"Hiccup~~~"

Gray-green smoke erupted from the holes in the turtle shell, enveloping Maki Hattori from the bottom up.

"Oops."

She smelled the pungent gas and immediately realized that something was wrong.

It's gas gas!

She quickly covered her mouth and nose, but the poisonous gas had invaded, causing her to experience temporary vertigo.

Strange gas sees the right time.

It reached out and shook Maki Hattori off her back, opening its bloody jaws ready to devour her.

Maki Hattori wanted to dodge, but his body was weak for a while.

She pursed her lips.

"Do you want to...... Planted here? ”

Musashino, who was eating melons in the rear, finally stood up.

That's not right.

It turns out that she can't beat this monster, which is too strong.

Never mind.

Save people first!

He dodged to the front.

Just as the strange gas was about to bite off, Musashino immediately grabbed Hattori Maki's shoulder and threw her far aside.

Breaking away from the poisonous gas, Maki Hattori instantly sobered up.

She saw Musashino standing in front of the strange gas, and her eyes widened:

"Musashi-san, you ......"

Will this work?

Hadn't he ever heard of weird gas?

How can you defeat the wasteland creatures you don't understand?

Roar –

Seeing that the prey in his mouth was taken away, the blue flame in his eye socket turned red, and he directly entered a state of rage.

It roared and rushed away.

"Blur."

Musashino's body turns transparent.

The strange gas fluttered into the air and hit his head against the load-bearing wall.

"Whew?"

It shook off the wall piece that had fallen on its body and turned its head in confusion.

Musashino's figure reappeared, unscathed.

He looked at the strange gas.

It seems that the ability of the soul to leave the body is not limited to this......

At the moment when he had just passed through this monster, he suddenly felt activated the energy value he had accumulated through the system check-in.

That's right

That's the energy value of 10 to the 6th power.

Previously, they were stored in the body, had no reaction, and could not be called at all.

But in the spirit state, it seems to be usable.

"Or ......

"Give it a try?"

Strange Gas regrouped and prepared to continue the attack.

Musashino raised his hand, trying to summon the energy.

Suddenly, a white light bloomed in the palm of his hand.

It was like daylight in the house.

The strange gas paused, no screaming, no wailing, no struggle, its massive body dissipated in place.

There was no trace left.

Clean and neat.

And then...... There is no then.

There was silence in the house.

Maki Hattori's mouth opened in an O-shape and looked around in disbelief:

"Strange gas, ...... Wiped out by you? ”

Musashino blinked.

But it seems, no!

To be precise, he didn't really make a move just now, because those white lights were just a drop that spilled out when he summoned energy.

As a result, it turned out to be a weird gas .......

Nothing?
