"What is the current strength of the magic map?" asked Ashrufat.

"According to my calculations. If you have a small army of more than 150 grave guards and you have a lot of room to fight, I would think you have a better than 70% chance of winning and recommend that you choose to engage him. Under the cover of your men, you should be able to get a chance to attack its weak points. But if you're playing it alone, your success rate is just over 1 in 1,000. There was a hint of despair in Carrie's voice.

"What weaknesses does he have?" Ashruphat immediately noticed what Carrie had said.

"Originally, there were no weaknesses. The Magic Diagram is a combat-specific model equipped with super-heavy high-density composite armor and a protective force field, and its defense power is at least five times that of 'Wendini', and it will be difficult for you to break through its armor from the front even with a full blow. But the current magic map has one more weakness because of the transformation of the gods of the star field. Did you notice the little backpack-like thing on its back?"

Although it was only a quick glance just now, Ashrufat did see the thing on the back of the magic map.

"That's the energy supply device that was added to it during the modification - because most of the original energy system of the Magic Diagram has been dismantled by Kotoshin-sama. If you can break this thing, or break its connection to the Magic Map, the Magic Map will lose energy and become incapacitated. ”

But in the next moment, Ashruphat immediately realized that it was not easy at all. The gods of the Star Domain have the magic map as their guardian here, so they must have a lot of confidence in its ability. Carrie also said just now that the combat power of the magic map is far superior to that of Wendini.

The strength, agility, precision, and skill shown in the raid just now......

"Carrie, you just said that the magic map 'sees' me, right?"

"Yes, it shouldn't have a wide-area detector on it, and I think it should only have a photoreceptor...... If the Magic Diagram were to be compared to a human, it would now only be visual. ”

"It doesn't have senses like hearing, touch, smell, etc.? Even if I talk or move very close to it, as long as it is separated by obstacles and cannot be seen directly, it can't feel it?"

"If I'm not mistaken, that's true. ”

"If I hide and launch a surprise attack before it sees me, will there be a chance?"

"Depending on the scenario you provide...... Indeed, the probability of success can be greatly increased from less than 1 in 1,000 to 3 per cent. If you take this approach, the chances of overcoming it go from 'not at all' to 'a little possibility'. But, master, the success rate is still too low. But," Carrie's voice grew cheerful again. "It's still a good idea when there's no other choice. It's better than waiting to die here. ”

There was another sound of metal shattering. This time it was much clearer, and now Ashruphat felt that the magic figure was not simply opening a hole in the metal door, but shattering the door entirely.

......

"The intrusion could not be stopped, the fifth layer of the password firewall was breached, and the enemy has successfully entered the database system! The emergency plan has been activated! The database ...... immediately begun."

Ylang stood in a large room, listening to the ubiquitous sound of alarms.

"Ylang. The gray cloak that had been watching the Purple Stone Battlefield with her before walked in from outside. "Why are you here?"

"How's it going?"

"Oh! You heard it, the database was hacked, so it had to be physically cut off. This time, I am afraid that the vitality of the committee will be greatly damaged, and the progress of our project construction will be greatly hindered. And even if it is physically cut off, there will still be a large amount of data that will inevitably be read by the enemy...... Who the hell is it?"

"The data interface was judged. One of our planetary defensive batteries. Ylan's voice was not dejected, even a little happy.

"Our battery...... Could it be ......" The gray cloak suddenly realized something. "This level of computing power...... Even if it's artificial intelligence, it must be specially optimized, or the latest model!"

"Indeed...... It's Carrie!The AI that Kinshin left to Ashrufat! it could only be her!" Elan judged. "However, there is the most powerful guardian in that place! If it were other sub-bases, I am afraid that it would be directly controlled by 'Carrie', but the defense system there is completely independent. Even if it's artificial intelligence, you can't crack it directly!"

"That's great news. The gray cloak breathed a sigh of relief. "I almost thought something big was happening. A hidden enemy has launched a tentative attack on us...... In case it was anything else, the investigator was finished...... But if it's that Ashrufat, there's really no need to worry about it at all. Anyway, even if the AI reads and downloads our data, it doesn't mean much to him, because he doesn't have the right to use the AI normally. I'll go and inform the others right away. ”

The gray cloak left in a hurry, and Ilan was the only one standing thoughtfully.

"Magic Diagram...... Well...... If it's an ordinary enemy, it's really enough. That Ashrufat...... Well...... Artificial intelligence will give him key hints, ......right? But it's a mutilated version...... You may not be able to deal with Ashrufat......"

She said to herself. "It's a lot of fun, though!"

Ylang walked to the foot of the room, where a large box-shaped instrument was mounted on the wall, and in the middle hung a large piece of glass that Carrie had become a "screen".

Please enter a username...... Proofread the identity, otherwise it will be regarded as trespassing......" As Ylan approached, a pleasant female voice came from the machine.

Ylan ignored the voice, walked straight to the screen, and tapped it with his finger.

"Identity, what services do you need?"

"I'm going to call the monitor inside Battery Six. Ylan replied. "Download and save it to my personal space. ”

There was a slight noise from the machine. "One-way link succeeded, processing ......"

......

Ashrufat cowered around the corner, perhaps the first time he had tried to sneak up on someone since he woke up. This kind of sneak attack is different from the attack on the battlefield that goes around the enemy's back. That attack was an inevitable situation in a melee, and in front of him he hid himself and tried to launch a surprise attack.

The sound of the magic figure breaking the door continued, and even Ashruphat became familiar with the rhythm—muffled, muffled, cracked, cracked, broken, shattered, shattered. Then it's the next door. The voices were clearer and clearer each time, but it sounded like there were still a few doors left unbroken. It looked like Carrie had closed the door a little more than he had expected.

"Master, be careful, you only have one chance! You only have one chance to unleash a sword! If the first sword misses, your chances of success are infinitely close to zero. Carrie said in her head.

But this reminder is completely redundant. Ashrufat had long been aware of this, half because of his rational judgment and half because of his intuition as a warrior.

He couldn't help but pinch the hilt of the sword in his hand again. At this moment, he suddenly felt that above the realm of this world, only this familiar touch from the hilt of the sword was real. Although Carrie clearly said that the magic map is only visual, and cannot be heard or felt, Ashrufat still instinctively held his breath and waited for the other party's arrival.

Am I still nervous?" said to himself softly in his heart.

Is it nervousness, or is it excitement? Nervousness about the upcoming battle, or excitement about the challenge that has never been felt before?

The clear sound of metal cracking continued. This time the sound was very clear, no longer the feeling of being separated by a few doors, but a real sound.

"Master, it's coming soon. In thirty seconds the magic map will arrive, and I will put you in a state of acceleration. In her mind, Carrie whispered.

In the next moment, Ashrufat felt a chill in his body, as if a cold liquid had been poured into his brain, and then spread down his spine until it spread all over his body. It was the first time he had activated the acceleration without moving his whole body, and this was the true feeling of acceleration.

It seems that the world has slowed down. The flickering red light just now has at least doubled the flickering interval. It's not just the lights, everything is unusually dull in his senses. The heavy footsteps of Motu would not ring once until a long time ago.

The footsteps were already close.

Ashrufat had already taken a pose for a sneak attack. He knew very well that the moment he attacked, of course the magic map would see him. It all depends on the speed - whether the Magic Map successfully blocks first or whether he hits the Magic Map first. Victory or defeat is only decided in a very short moment.

A life-or-death moment.

Ashruphat felt the icy liquid feel more pronounced, which may mean that Carrie had "accelerated" to the limit.

The figure of the magic figure came out, and Ashrufat slashed down with a sword. At the moment of attack, he realized that he was lucky, the angle of the body of the Motu movement was in his favor, and now, Motu had no time to raise his sword to block the blow.

The magic map doesn't have any intention of blocking the grid. He directly swung his sword and counterattacked. It seems like a simple and neat move, and there is nothing unique about the moves, but it is incredibly fast.

The shadow of death suddenly hung over him.

"Ninety-nine percent dangerous," a pleasant female voice flooded out of his head. "Emergency Plan Unlock...... Turn on high-speed computing ...... Conclusion: Destruction, Inevitable ......"

A gray shadow flickered in the corner of Ashrufat's eye.
