ACT100: White Knight

"What do we do now? There's no anomaly here!"

At this time, Weiss and the others were still troubled by the unexpected situation in front of them, but it was certain that there must be some "secret" here. In the range of magic storms where the average concentration has reached 20 times the normal level, an area with a concentration of only 70% of the normal value can be imagined!

"Don't argue yet, let me think about it...... Not...... This is not scientific at all!!"

After muttering for a while, Lytis angrily threw the small notebook for calculus to the ground like a knot, because she had no clue at all. Seeing this, Wendy hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the notebook, and then comforted the other party, but after looking around, Weiss suddenly had some ideas.

"Litis, did the concentration of mana here drop suddenly?"

"What do you mean?"

"Does that mean, as we approached here, did the concentration of mana you check gradually decrease to the current level, or did it suddenly fall?" said Weiss, gesticulating a vertical drop.

"It should be gradual...... No, it did decrease gradually at first, but when the mana concentration was reduced to 14 times, it suddenly dropped to normal levels. At first, I thought my detector was broken, but now it looks like it's probably not!"

"Either way, there's going to be something wrong here! ”

Weiss knew very well that he couldn't find anything if he didn't move forward. Unless they want to run away with their tails between their legs, there is only one way forward.

They weren't sure if there were any mines ahead, so they were careful as they went.

Eddie first used a more conventional "spying" method to get a mine out of the ground, and after research, it was found that the structure of this mine was completely different from what was known. The detonation is mechanical, and the recharge is a brown particle of unknown composition, and the power of the explosion is not high, but it is not affected by the magic storm, so it can be said that it is a "special mine" specially created for this environment.

"Interesting! It seems that some people have considered fighting in this environment. ”

"Just kidding, how mad must it be for someone to go to war in such a place?" said Lena.

"That maybe, I remember that Emperor Chen Long of the Terran Race said that everything is possible!"

I said...... Can we not mention that one?"

As a traverser, Weiss has always felt unable to look directly at the "Quotations of the Emperor", but he agrees with Adele's opinion.

Weiss from the earth knows that Mao Zi and the United States ** over there considered the possibility of fighting a "nuclear war" during the Cold War, and even used soldiers to do [***] tests for this purpose, and the concept of "three defenses" also emerged from that period. Since Magic Storm can be seen as an otherworldly version of a "wild nuclear explosion", it seems that it is not impossible for someone to prepare for this.

But thinking of this, Weiss suddenly realized a problem! The reason why there is the concept of "fighting in a high-radiation environment" on the other side of the earth is because nuclear bombs can be controlled, that is to say, the location of the nuclear explosion area is largely chosen by human beings themselves. However, the Magical Storm is a natural disaster, and the area and time of occurrence are not controlled by humans, and someone will prepare for this environment to fight, unless ......

Thinking of this, Weiss felt more and more that some vague memories in his mind were about to come out, but just as he was trying to recall this part, Eddie on the side suddenly kicked him to the ground with a sweeping leg, and Weiss just wanted to ask him what he was doing? Several bullets flew from above, and then a denser rain of bullets swept towards them.

"Hide! Find cover!"

With the vigilance he had cultivated from his military background, Eddie was the first to notice an unusual reflection flashing in the distance. The position of the 7 people at this time was he and Eras in the lead, and the girls were behind them, only Weis's position was just outside the "barrier" formed by the two of them because of the angle, so Eddie, who judged that the enemy was about to attack, immediately made a decision and directly swept Weiss to the ground, helping him dodge the bullets just now.

This is the second time that everyone has been attacked in the disaster area, and if they are the same group as the guys who pretended to be the Laxis, then they should already know that there is a demon here. But even so, the other party still has to take the initiative to attack, which just shows that there must be something shady in this area!

"Tsk!

Looking at the barrage whizzing overhead, Eddie remembered some of the "old days", he first motioned to Eras to stay where he was to protect Lytis and the others, and then turned his head to Weiss who was lying next to him.

"Boy, help me keep an eye on the point, and if the other party has a king, freeze with him first. ”

"Wait a minute! What do you want to do!?"

"Don't you want to learn the fighting skills of the chess pieces, then use your eyes to take a good look!" said Eddie, standing up from behind the small dirt bag that was used as cover, and a white "knight" chess piece appeared in his hand.

The black and white color of the chess pieces represents the basic talent of the owner, and the black ones are much stronger than the white ones, and although this gap can be made up by diligence, the process is by no means very difficult for people to imagine.

Eddie's white knight means that his strength when he first got the pieces is average, and even a little weaker than other black knights. But he relied on his acquired efforts to reach the "Pair Military Level", which symbolizes the highest level of the owner of the chess piece, which is a realm that many black knights cannot reach.

Holding the piece in the palm of his hand, Eddie stood up in the hail of bullets, and then gently called out a name.

"Dima!"

As the name was called, a purple-black flame suddenly erupted from Eddie's finger holding the chess piece, converging directly in front of him, blocking all the bullets that came at him. The flames gradually took the form of a horse, and the sound of restless neighing echoed all around. Soon, a tall black unicorn appeared in front of everyone.

"Damn, this mount is a little windy!"

One of the two inherent skills of the knight, the ability to summon a creature that meets the requirements of "mounting" as his mount, making it "spirit beast", which can be collected into a chess piece and carried around, provided that the consent of the other party is obtained, or it can be subdued by force altogether. This ability has earned the full knight a reputation as the "strongest pawn", and some powerful knights will even take the risk of taming monsters to use as mounts, as Eddie is clearly the case.

"Dima, you haven't been out for a long time, have you?"

Ignoring the bullets from the opposite side, Eddie stroked the dark golden mane of the black unicorn, while Dima snorted and threw her head to the side as if in anger, but quickly peeked at Eddie with her large purple eyes. This is quite a spiritual move, which feels like a tsundere girl complaining that her boyfriend hasn't been with her for a long time.

Everyone's voice: This unicorn is the mother!(To be continued.) )
