Chapter 108: Mistakes
In the deserted streets, with the double moon hanging high, Marissa ran out of the church and ran desperately to the clock tower in front of her. On the platform at the top of the tower, there is a communication orb with a disguise spell.
The smoke bombs couldn't stop the witch for long, and it was too late to send out all the evidence. But at the very least, the most important information should be transmitted back to headquarters.
Marissa ran forward as fast as she could, when suddenly, a figure sprang out of the darkness and reached out to grab her. Marissa screamed and leaned over to dodge; The man's hands and feet were stiff, his movements were strange, and his upper body was magically disguised as a monk, but the lower part of his body was still a metal skeleton - a puppet dummy.
At this moment, one puppet after another sprang out of the shadows, making uniform movements, waving the swords in their hands, blocking Marisa's path. Marissa dodged left and right in a thrilling way, relying on her small body and agility, and escaped from between the blades and the puppet's palms.
On the other side of the narrow street, in the smoke of the gap in the stone wall, a little red light flickered frequently, and it was the light that came from one of Serena's mechanical pupils. All around, smoke mixed with interfering foil blocked the detection magic, but she was not in a hurry to get out of the smoke screen, but unhurriedly sent a command signal, focusing on manipulating the golems;
They were originally their own creatures, but after the control of the signal was regained, they returned to serve their masters. And because the energy supply is restored, the movements become accurate and powerful, which is more than enough to play with a little girl who has escaped. Serena shouted with interest;
"Little mouse, it looks like we're peers, do you want to compare and see whose skills are better?"
Marissa slipped between the legs of a puppet, rolled around on the ground, and just tried to get up, but just hit her head against the wall on one side, and she staggered to her feet with stars in pain; However, the enemy will not show mercy to mistakes, even if it is a nine-year-old. The puppet had already caught up in stride, raised its sword high, and without a moment's hesitation, stabbed straight down on Marisa's back;
At that moment, with a muffled thud, its knees were surrounded by a cloud of flames, and the metal skeleton shattered, causing its body to immediately fall; The upper body was lying on the ground, still doing ridiculous sword swinging movements. At the same time, a series of miniature explosions rang out in succession, and the golems were blown off their legs and collapsed.
As she dodged the attack, Marisa walked among the golems, taking the opportunity to put improvised detonators on their legs and feet.
The high-explosive runes she had brought with her had all been used up when she rescued the child, but Marisa's rule was never to leave her pockets empty. walked around the witch's secret studio full of goodies, and if she didn't come out by the way, it wouldn't be her;
Premium magic powder, Mithril magic guide, and transformation crystals are all high-grade rare materials. The candy inducer that was previously used to attract puppets was made of pure mass blocks from Shun to Source Energy. A small piece of that thing was worth thousands of gold, and she was very distressed when she made it.
While waiting for the fuse to be triggered on the roof, Marisa was not idle, cutting the high-grade birch magic paper into small pieces, and writing a blasting circle on it with magic powder dipped in water, making a simple blasting rune. Although she can't remember many of the graphics and characters, and the actual power is pitiful, it is better than her bare hands; No, that's where it comes in handy.
There was only a muffled sound, and the puppets all fell to the ground. The nun's disappointed voice came from the smoke screen, "The material of their skeletons is all Mithril alloy, but it's very expensive, it's really a bad little devil." ”
Marissa gritted her teeth and got up, knowing that the other party had been making provocative remarks to make herself talk back. And once the location is revealed, the other party may have a way to kill her immediately. He is still under the sword hanging high, and he must reach the communication orb immediately and send the information.
Marisa panted and ran to the base of the tower, looking up, the orb reflecting a glimmer in the moonlight; It's closer, only a few steps away.
However, the distance of more than a dozen yards is so far away.
A wind blade flew from behind, spun forward along the ground, and caught up with Marisa in the blink of an eye. The invisible blade slashed through her ankle, leaving a deep scar that could be seen in the bones; Marissa screamed and fell to the ground.
When she turned around and saw that her ankle was bleeding profusely, Marisa, who couldn't get up, endured the sharp pain in her heart, her eyes were full of tears, and she climbed forward little by little.
Behind her, Serena stepped out of the smoke screen, holding a large gun almost as long as herself, and said, "I'm really surprised, there are people like me. If it weren't for this situation, I would have liked to have a good conversation with you! ”
As she spoke, she turned her gun and fired a shot at her feet. Immediately, a violent air current erupted around her feet, quickly dispersing the rune smoke curtain that shrouded her. In her clearer vision again, Serena's purple mechanical pupils rotated, and her eyes with Eagle Eye and Night Vision were able to accurately lock onto her target at night and at such a distance.
She raised her gun again, and aimed it at the thin back of the tower, the small wounded body, dragging a trail of blood still crawling forward;
"What a brutal group of traitors to let such a young child suffer like this." Serena shook her head and sighed, her finger pulling the trigger.
Before firing, she suddenly moved the muzzle of her gun upwards, and the sound of the wind elemental circle charging sounded, and the wind blade flew accurately to the top of the tower, shattering the communication orb on the transmitter.
Marisa, who was lying at the bottom of the tower, widened her eyes in disbelief as she watched the fragments of the orb fall in front of her. Her last hope was also gone, and tears rolled down her dirty cheeks.
"I'm still wondering whose device this device was, it's you, little mouse. Your eyes are so good-looking, can you give them to me? ”
Selina slung the gun on her back, leaned down and grabbed Marissa by the collar with her mechanical arm, lifting her up. Looking at her arm, which was only mechanical, Serena sighed and said, "Alas, the skin that has just been made has broken again, and the mice have all fled, so I have to catch them again." Why are you doing this, Mama is really sad. ”
The blade flashed, and the metal nails sliced through Marisa's clothes; A large pile of candy leaked out. Serena burst out laughing at this;
"It seems that you like the desserts I make, don't worry, I will make more for you." As long as you obediently hand over what you have stolen. ”
Serena searched and searched, but the girl had only these candies and some unused magical engineering items, and she couldn't find the missing documents, letters, seals, and most importantly, photographic crystals. Serena's face sank slightly, and then she smiled again, "As long as the bad boy corrects his mistakes, he will definitely be forgiven." But if you're too naughty, you'll be spanked. ”
