Chapter 126: Clearance Strategy
The two archers continued to fight fiercely, the magic bullets whizzing back and forth in the night sky, and the sound of the fire and wind elemental circle was endless.
The two men constantly switched positions and angles, from the outbuildings to the dome of the nearby City Hall Fortress. A county sentry on the watchtower spotted them and was about to sound the alarm when they were shot in the head and fell; It wasn't Pullman who shot, it was Selena who shot - she clearly didn't want anyone to disturb them.
As the rooftop terrain became more complex, Pullman, who was clearly superior in shooting and grappling, began to gain the upper hand. No matter how fast the mechanical prosthetic is, it can't be faster than a bullet, and no matter how strong the shield of the enchanted blade is, it can't withstand the burning magic.
Moreover, I don't know if it's an illusion, Pullman feels that the frequency and accuracy of the opponent's shooting are not as good as before, far less than the incomparably sharp and dangerous sniper he met in Nishiyama, who gave full play to all his strengths. The mechanically modified body is far faster and more powerful than ordinary people, but unfortunately the gunslinger does not need that, but sharpness, skill and experience.
Pullman's attacks on the Spellbreaker's Goal were successful. In the end, he seized a fleeting opportunity, and a ricocheting bullet bounced off the lamppost, hitting the power supply point behind the big gun, and the energy crystal that had been subjected to continuous attacks was instantly overloaded. With a pop, the whole thing of the original Steinberg cracked, and the fragments fell to the ground.
Serena looked at the broken gun with some surprise and muttered, "Impossible, the original product is actually ...... imitation"
"The deputy gang leader has said that if he is asked to find the Ember Messenger one day, he will also dismantle the reverse drawings first. As long as it is man-made, there are bound to be trade-offs and flaws. ”
Without his rifle, Pullman was not afraid of his opponent who had lost his long-range attack ability, and with the experience he had gained in fighting him before. Slow down with frozen ammunition and grenades and calmly fly a kite. The two of them hit the roof of the city hall from the ground, and even the perverted magic prosthetic body with physical strength and defense power could not stop the highly targeted spell-breaking bullet module that had been prepared for a long time;
Eventually, Serena's torso and head with special enchanted armor were spared, but her limbs were pierced by the ferocious spell-breaking ammunition, and she fell to the ground unable to move.
Serena lay on the ground, staring blankly at the night sky, "Did I lose?" ”
Pullman stepped forward with a replica rifle, "Although you have changed your mechanical body with great strength and speed, you have lost the dexterity and agility of your flesh and blood, and you have also lost the ability to learn and grow as a human being. ”
But just as Pullman tries to land the fatal blow, Serena suddenly disappears, and the next second, she appears on a high ground, her limbs deformed, allowing her to crawl and climb walls like a spider. "Laughing to death, I said earlier, this is my home turf! ......"You're right, I've learned that there are limits to human beings. So, I'm not going to be human anymore! ”
Serena's torso is loaded with a space magic box, and the automatic repair system restores and transforms her limbs, and loads many killer parts on her body, making her a monster, with great speed and strength.
After a fight, one of Pullman's arms was bitten off by his deformed mouth, and he nearly passed out, holding back the sharp pain and pulling off the necklace on his chest.
The eight-legged monster Serena climbed away with Pullman's arm and laughed in a sharp and shrill voice, "Does it hurt, it won't hurt soon, I'm going to make you the best puppet possible, I really like you......"
A flash of red light flew through the monster's waist and eye, and the monster quickly went limp, unable to move. "It's ...... Finishing bullets? No way, you can't do this without the original password. ”
"You're right, this is the one you made with your own hands. At that time, the deputy gang leader captured this when he cleared the killing curse from my body. This is me who has returned from hell, just for you, monster. ”
"No, no, no!" Serena uses the golem to form a shield, but the bullet pierces it with a single hit, and each shot does seemingly small damage, but it will never stop until the target loses life completely.
The wails grew quieter, and the shadows around them began to dissipate, revealing the normal darkness of the night. Eventually, a bullet pierces the heart, and the mechanical golem falls.
At this time, the guards who heard the movement were following Ernest, and the seriously wounded Pullman was about to be overtaken, gunshots and grenades rang out, and the last soldiers of the escort team hurriedly returned to rescue Pullman under the leadership of Marisa after putting their rescued comrades in a safe place.
Reinforcements from both sides arrived at the same time and they were in a mess. At this time, Ernest, who was delirious due to cursed drugs and demon addiction, mistakenly activated the word digit and activated the Destruction Seal located in the center of the church. The ground began to settle and collapse, and a deep crater the size of a block appeared in the center of the town, like an abyss below, and the Rift of Destruction continued to eat away at the space around it. If it weren't for the fact that most of the outer magic seals were destroyed, the original destructive power of this cursed cipher technology would only be activated by one-tenth, otherwise the entire town would have been destroyed.
The town hall collapsed with a roar, sinking into the unfathomable chasm below. The soldiers, who had never seen it before, screamed and fled, and the convoy was temporarily dispersed.
Ernest falls headlong into the abyss and is swallowed up, and a dying Serena lies in the ruins, reminiscing about her life. He has had three fathers, and he has abnormal feelings for almost every one of them, and he has been looking for his father's shadow in Pullman. In fact, he is not a lover of his father, he only covets power and status.
Some of the oil and magic powder were ignited, and Serena was surrounded by flames, and her hands and feet were broken. In this situation, she felt as if she had returned to the fire twenty years ago. The revolutionaries burned her family's house, and she was crushed to death in the rubble. I don't know how long it took before I saw a ray of light again. The man said to him, "Your name is Serena, don't be afraid, everything in the past is gone." From today onwards, you are my daughter. Vanessa, called sister. A little girl next to her called timidly, "Sister." ”
Then, the recollection moves on to the next scene;
"I won the first place in all my grades, why can't I be selected for the Academy of Engineering!" "There are all kinds of first-class secrets in the Academy of Engineering, and only those who are flawless in all aspects are qualified to have access to them. I'll tell you straight, your identity is a descendant of a landlord, and your relatives were all executed by the revolutionary army, so at a critical moment, your character cannot be guaranteed. "What is the difference between you judging people by birth and the Kingdom and the Church?"
"Yes, I don't think it's fair. Since the exam rules are set, it is necessary to speak by the grades. I raised her, and if something goes wrong, I'll take responsibility. "Chairman, how did you personally ......?"
