At the time of the second blow, the strength of the shield was inexplicably weakened.

Fujimaru Rika didn't know exactly what was going on, but she didn't miss the right moment. She deliberately adjusted the angle and power of the third blow, and succeeded in evaporating the entire upper part of the ruins directly after breaking the spell.

"Brahma, curse me" itself is a rare national treasure with quite terrifying attack power. It's okay when attacking spell shields with high attack strength, as long as you retract slightly according to the size of the target. In the case of a direct attack on the building, if it weren't for Karna also projecting his consciousness and being able to assist in control, Rikka himself would not dare to do it rashly.

Even Karna was in control, making sure that the only living creatures in the building were not fatally injured by the aftermath of the Noble Phantasm, but after the light cleared and she could visualize the inside of the building, Rikka noticed that the situation inside was a bit miserable.

Even if the worst-case scenario has been avoided as much as possible, the destructive power of the Noble Phantasm itself is unquestionable. The combination of extremely high temperatures and powerful shock waves does directly annihilate the broken building materials that may fall, preventing the people inside from falling damage. But on the other hand, the combination of "extremely high temperatures and powerful shock waves" alone is enough to kill the human body.

The fracture in the wall still shimmered with a hot red light, slowly and viscously deforming and flowing like melted ice cream. The gale blows away the heat with a loud noise from the sudden change in air pressure, and also carries a large area of carbonized ashes, making people disgraced.

Jessamine Deville was indeed in such a state: her original fine dress was stained with stains and blood—some of the shells of demonic usurpation, some of her own; The originally capable hairstyle also fell apart for various reasons, and was curly by the high temperature; There were three parallel claw-cut wounds on her cheeks, as well as some burns or burns from the heat all over her skin. All of this made her seem terrifying, but it was true that it would not be life-threatening for her for a short time.

Not far in front of her, Zes Chati writhed ugly on the ground. Its beak-like mouth overflowed with an incoherent moan of pain, and its tentacles and wings fluttered feebly, but it could not even stand up. Even when Fujimaru Rika finally landed in front of it, it could only make some weak curses intermittently, and it couldn't even use a slightly similar spell.

It is unlikely that a beast from subspace would be killed by an ordinary knife, and apparently, the ceremonial dagger stuck in its chest had done far more damage to it than it had done on a physical level by some unknown principle.

But to be honest, Rika Fujimaru didn't really care about what the hell was going on with that dagger.

"The Corpse Emperor's lackey! Ignorant savages! Zes Chati cursed on the ground, "You broke my barrier, you made it to the heart of the ritual, but don't think you've won—"

"Yes, yes, I know. It's not the first time I've dealt with blue-haired tentacles like you. Rika Fujimaru interrupted with a bored attitude, "Anyway, there's a Tzeentch demon's favorite dilemma of 'you can't stop the ritual if you don't kill you, and if you kill you, it will get worse', right?" ”

"Gah-"

Lying on the ground in disbelief, Zes Chatty let out an unbelievable scream, and now he looked like an idiot.

"So, how bad will the situation be after killing you? Do you want to tell me what to do? Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't talk about it, the result is the same anyway. Fujimaru Rika was unmoved, "You can't get my sympathy for putting on a pitiful stupid look, I've already learned a lesson, and I can't have mercy on things like you." ”

The wounded demon was furious at this simple provocation, but before it could gather the strength to bounce off its surprise, the blade in Rika Fujimaru's hand, which was more like a staff than a gun, was quickly nailed to the ground.

"I don't know what you're going to do, but I just can't do anything." The girl said calmly, "Whether you want to sacrifice yourself as a final sacrifice to your god, or if you have prepared some spell that will be triggered after death, the conditions for these things to activate will always be set to 'your death', right?" ”

"So what?"

"The root of the problem is that spells don't appear out of nowhere, there must be a conceptual 'caster' – in other words, that spellcaster is either based on your destroyed physical form, or at the point itself that returns you to the subspace as an unborn? After all, you non-living and non-dead things will never think about what to do after you 'disappear in the true sense'. ”

She had guessed correctly, and this correctness made Zese Chatty instinctively feel a sense of crisis that he had never felt before. To that end, it struggled to move its tentacles and claws, scratching as hard as it could; Many pairs of eyes were uncomfortably focused on Rika Fujimaru at the same time, trying to find the slightest possibility of getting herself out of trouble.

But it was not found.

"What do you want to do?" The demon asked warily, but it was too late.

"Nothing." Rika Fujimaru has always been a kind person who would allow a minor enemy to die, "It's just that you're prepared to leave nothing left." ”

The golden spear was lit with golden flames, and the demon under the spear immediately let out a cry of pain—unfortunately, it only lasted for a moment, because in the next moment, it had already been reduced to ashes in both a physical and spiritual sense.

This is not difficult to understand: first, the subspace projection of the emperor is a golden icy sun hanging high in the sky; Secondly, Karna is the son of the sun god Suriya in Hindu mythology, and after his death, he was greeted by his father with a remnant soul, and the two became one, so he holds an A+ rank in the concept of "sun".

The two conceptually echo each other, even if they only rely on Lixiang's small source of magic power, with the blessing of this symbolic meaning, Karna's spirit base can inflict a lot of damage on all kinds of Chaos enemies with just a simple ordinary attack - this is a proven thing, not to mention, now their magic source is from the emperor.

It was not very difficult to completely burn a Chaos Demon with the Emperor's psionic power. After all, the nickname "Little Sun" is not called for nothing.

The matter ended easily, and Rika Fujimaru naturally turned her attention to the other living person present, Governor Jesmin Deville, still stunned, apparently not very well at the fact that the demon who had tormented her for so long had left the scene so intimidating.

Looking at her dejected demeanor, Fujimaru Rika still sighed:

"I can't say I understand your feelings." She said to Governor de Ville, "I know that what I am about to say is a disappointment, but I will not do it without saying it:

"The culprit may have been ambushed, but the whole accident on Jestal isn't over yet."

She looked around at the mess, as if a gilded light rippled in her pale amber eyes. Theoretically, there was nothing left in the remains of the ruins that could be moved except for Governor de Vile and herself, but a certain sixth sense drove her to remain overly vigilant.

Then, the Heroic Spirit, who was connected to her through the Ortenus Lingji exoskeleton, affirmed this judgment:

-Master, there is indeed something nearby. -

Karna said so.

-----------------

Although there have been many things that have happened today that are beyond common sense, there is still one thing that Sevita feels is very unreasonable.

He's running.

He runs at a brisk pace while wearing the Iron Rider Terminator Power Armor - or to put it simply, "Flying Run" here.

This "Ottnaus Modification" power armor has indeed been optimized to a certain extent on the original Iron Riding armor, at least in terms of the range of motion of the joints is quite close to the Hades, so it can theoretically achieve a faster movement speed than the ordinary Iron Riding power armor in long-distance movement. But—

Isn't 180 km/h a little too outrageous? He can't run this speed even in standard power armor??

And in fact, it is difficult to say that this way of moving is "running". While it does require him to control his legs to move, this movement is closer to a combination of jumping and gliding based on fire propulsion......

"Don't get distracted anymore, you idiot!" There was a thorn of dissatisfaction in his soul, and a female voice shouted in his ear, "It's my best strength to drag you and this iron lump that weighs almost a ton in total to maintain this speed!" The miscellaneous soldiers who are pouring in nearby, you can find a way for me to solve it myself! ”

After such a period of high-speed movement, they are already in the interior of the first city, and the population density is certainly not the same as that of the suburbs where the cargo station is located. Naturally, the number of inhabitants mutated during the ritual is also staggering.

Now, these mutated natives, who are no longer humans, are clearly submitting to a higher will, trying to surround and intercept them in a unified deployment, slowing them down to the inner city - unfortunately, the defense line that can be penetrated in a single dozen is really meaningless.

The "natives" in front of them were living humans just a few minutes ago, but so what? Whether it's Joan of Arc Neither Alter nor Sevita are people who hesitate or feel guilty about "fighting against unrelated people".

The chainsaw halberd that appeared out of thin air in a manner similar to this power armor roared, and the red lotus-like karmic fire swept up the high-speed spinning monomolecular chain blade. Even in high-speed movements, which are difficult for ordinary people to react to, Sevita can time it as easily as she breathes, swinging her weapon quickly in the moment before she lands, and sweeping away all the enemies in front of her like vegetables.

The mutated limbs were wrenched into pieces by the chain blade and flew in all directions, and unexpectedly, there was not much blood, probably mostly burned dry in an instant by the flames wrapped around the chainsaw halberd. Sevita nonchalantly slammed through the debris of the living tissue, swung her weapon again as she stepped forward, allowing the monomolecular chain blade to half-push and half-twist the obstacles that stood in her path in various ways, and then leap with precision in the moment when the flame advance ignited again, grazing over the heads of the remaining enemies.

"Evil—heart—" Joan of Arc Alter grumbled in his ear with a long note.

Sevita was stunned for a moment before she climbed onto her armor, but only realized the problem in the flames that burned the debris of the creatures that stuck to it: "What? Don't you see, you obviously want to take revenge on the entire universe, but you are a person who cares about such a trivial matter as blood on your body? ”

"Of course, this is a small thing in normal times, but Ritsuka is in front, and this is a big thing!" Joan of Arc S. Alter said rightly, "It's okay if you can't dress up until you're reunited with your best friend after a long absence, what kind of body is it to make that bloody and dirty look?" ”

Sevita stopped talking. But then, he got a stab in the other party's dissatisfaction from the soul level.

"Don't think about it! Don't think I don't know what you're muttering in your heart! The woman's voice was furious.

Sevita's tone was steady: "If it weren't for the situation, I would definitely laugh at you loudly." ”

"Shut up and watch the road!"

The Iron Rider Terminators dropped in height again, and there was no doubt that the main road in front of them was once again crowded with mutated crowds.

The military forces on the agricultural planet were already weak, and with the haste of the incident, the mutants who were originally civilians didn't have time to acquire any armor and weapons, they just stood there meaninglessly according to the orders of something.

If Rika Fujimaru was here, maybe she would be a little touched. But alas, this trick is against Sevita and Joan of Arc. Alter, and the unanimous comment of the two is: It's annoying.

In three seconds, a few noises mingled together, and Sevita's chainsaw once again cleared a path from the human wall. The flames that Alter used to propel the armor also mercilessly burned large swaths of his enemies from the soul level to ashes.

Of course, this time there were some enemy scraps stuck to the armor. Joan of Arc S. Alter complained about "why do you like chainsaws so much when you used powered weapons", and then split the fire again to clean up the dirt, and Sevita wanted to take advantage of the few seconds he was gliding in the air to sarcastically say a few words, but-

- There was another loud bang in the inner city, and a strong wind from an explosion between the buildings and the street suddenly passed. Even though Sevita was currently suspended in the air, he could realize that the earth was trembling because of it.

"What's going on?"

"Tsk, I didn't catch up, there's already a fight over there."

"Fighting?" Sevita stared at the environmental monitoring indicator on his helmet and asked in disbelief, "It's only been a few minutes, and you're going to have to use a weapon of the Volcano's level?" ”

Joan of Arc S. Alter apparently doesn't see this as a problem:

"Oh, that's what the 'doctrine of firepower superiority' is. Anyway, I like this simple and crisp strategy - let's keep running for me! ”

The flame propulsion attached to the armor was reinforced, and Sevita was pained to find that the speed indicator in the visor showed that they were now traveling at two hundred kilometers per hour.
