While Kimberley left the capital to hunt for Gulled, Envi had been on a mission to spy on Lyle.

Originally, the surveillance work was quite smooth, using the physical ability of the android to jump up and down on the top of the building, and then peeping through the high-powered telescope, there was no danger. However, after a long period of surveillance, his courage gradually increased, and Enwei used his natural ability to transform into a passerby aunt with a weak sense of presence, hiding a pistol and poison in his pocket, intending to look for an opportunity to assassinate while monitoring at close range.

And then—

"What are you?" Before Enwei could show his acting skills as an emperor, he was pressed to the ground by Lyle's concrete palm as soon as he appeared.

"Don't get me wrong, what I want to ask is just an academic title." Lyle looked at Enwei from a distance with interest, who still maintained the appearance of a passer-by's aunt, but he could sense something else, "Even if it is a life form built on the Philosopher's Stone, it will never call itself a 'sage', right?" ”

Lyle couldn't tell if Envi was a [lifeform made of the Philosopher's Stone] or [injected into the human body with the Philosopher's Stone], the only thing he knew was that there was a large number of soul wails from Envi's body, no matter how he thought about it, it couldn't be a normal human.

In addition, it is the wails of these souls that make Lyle sympathize, whether Envi is here to find fault or just passing by, he has decided to die.

Enwei unconsciously lifted the transformation, revealing the most commonly used black-haired boy posture, and looked at Lyle in horror: "No, it can't be!" Where am I showing my flaws!? ”

"Flaws? No, no, I didn't know you were going to transform until just now. It was precisely because of the concern for the unknown that Lyle did not get too close to Envi, who was pressed to the ground, and kept a sufficient distance to react, "As for explaining the reason, forget it, anyway, it is enough for you to know that I have the confidence to fear any kind of assassination." ”

Especially now, all kinds of refining arrays are tattooed directly on the body, and they can be activated immediately if they want to, which is different from the situation when they were captured and imprisoned by blood relatives.

"Damn...... Envy gritted his teeth, if he had known about this, how could he have made such a decision.

"So, can you answer my question before you die?" Lyle's body lit up again, and the electric light creaked.

He didn't expect to get information about his companions from Envi, and even if Envi really wanted to be a big colander for his life, he probably wouldn't believe it. Besides, the city has such a strong sense of strangeness that you can always get answers by looking more.

"Just humans, don't underestimate us androids!" Enwei switched forms, and with the force generated by the increase in size, he broke through the concrete block pressed on his body, and in a matter of seconds, he turned into a large, terrifying green beast with a densely packed human-like face on its body and tongue, and an Ouroboros logo on its left pupil.

The passers-by who were watching from a distance in the vicinity just now finally cried and fled after seeing Envi's battle form.

“…… Don't you have the ability to shapeshift, isn't it good to get a handsome dragon out? Lyle looked at the wailing figure on Envi's body, and his eyes were cold for three minutes, "Or is your aesthetic so peculiar?" ”

"Shut up!" Enwei slapped it with all his might.

It's a blow that can slap a person into a meat sauce, slap a car more than a dozen meters away, and shatter the walls of a building, and it doesn't require any technology, a huge body is enough.

(Bang!) Envi's giant green palm was blocked by a metal shield that was generated instantly, and he didn't know what kind of alloy it was, and he didn't even get a dent after a blow.

“！” Envi, who had long known that he couldn't beat Lyle, was just bluffing, and he immediately turned around and wanted to escape as soon as he hit it.

For Lyle, however, the metal shield was already an assault weapon in its own right.

"Ah——!!!hh This time, it was no longer the electric light that appeared when the refining was activated, but the light that burst out from the real high-voltage current flowing through Enwei's body.

"The rules of this world are that the head of a sheep with scientific knowledge is hung on it, and dog meat with special energy drawn by alchemy." The metal shield in front of Lyle melted back into the ground as if it had never existed, and another tattoo on his body glowed, "From this perspective, as long as the special energy is used quickly and massively enough, anything can be turned into a weapon." ”

The wind blew, but instead of onto Envi's body, it gathered in a circle outside its head.

“？” Halfway through the regeneration, Enwei saw some white smoke liquid poured on him, and was stunned for a few seconds before he reacted, "What!! The air is liquefied!? ”

"First, I don't know your body structure, and secondly, I don't want to stand next to you and launch refining, so I can only take away your body temperature by creating a low-temperature environment around you, and at the same time make your body brittle." More and more liquid air wrapped around Envi's body, "Of course, the power of the Philosopher's Stone is more special than the energy I use, and you may be able to get out of trouble easily~?" ”

It's a pity that Enwei has no other tricks other than regeneration and transformation, and has found that his body does not obey the call, and his consciousness gradually falls into the abyss of extreme cold: "I, I don't want to ...... Death......"

"Since your name is 'artificial person', the innate sin karma is not counted on your head, and I don't know the acquired sin karma, so I should not deal with it for the time being, so I will give you a comfortable way to die." Lyle forged a floating steel sledgehammer from the side, "Go to the end with the soul in the Philosopher's Stone, and pray that you will not be born as a monster in the next life." ”

A sledgehammer swings, smashing Envi's brittle head for the first time.

"How would I describe you when we met on the battlefield at the outbreak of the Ishvar War?" Roy Mastan, the alchemist of flames, asked in a deep voice as he snapped his fingers at his friend.

Lieutenant Colonel Hughes corrected: "You said I looked like a murderer. ”

“…… It's me, and I have to find Lao Huangli to confirm my identity every time, which is really enough. Roy lowered his arm.

Hughes closed the door with his backhand and placed the fruit basket he brought from visiting the injured Edward on the bed table, Roy asked this question, he didn't need to confirm it in reverse: "There may not be a need to be so cautious in the future, according to the reports of the citizens at the scene, the android who died at the hands of the present god should be the 'Envi' who is good at changing appearance." ”

"Maybe other androids have similar abilities?" Roy is cautious about this.

In the battle with Kimberley, the left leg of the mechanical armor was damaged, and Edward, who was also colored, shook his head and said, "No, according to Kimberley's expression at the time, there should be none." ”

"I didn't think we'd see that one day as an ally." Hughes sat down and peeled the apple for Edward, "...... Roy, what do we do after that? ”

Roy looked at his friend, and he knew that Hughes must have an answer: "Do we have any other choice?" ”

"Yes...... "It's good to wait for the right time, but at this time, the guy who decided to do nothing and wait for Lyle to save the world is not qualified to bear the future of this country, "Then, I'll arrange for my wife and daughter to travel abroad first." ”

"Hey!"
