Endless Silver Machine

This steel building is divided into several different areas, and the lighting becomes brighter and brighter as you go deeper.

The walls are no longer made of steel plates engraved with runes, but are instead white walls made of special materials, glowing faintly under the lighting.

There are various instruments and sinks everywhere here that I don't understand how to use, but they seem to have not been used for a long time and are just piled around.

"This place is completely different from the place we came before."

"It's probably deep. With so many defensive measures in front, the owner here probably thought that not many people could make it this far."

Along the way, various forms of parasitic beasts appeared, as well as mechanical traps, but the two of them unexpectedly passed through them all without any injuries.

"The magic I felt along the way just now was very weak, but the barrier 'field' constructed by magic cannot feel like this. Coupled with the parasitic beasts and those traps..."

The steel building that houses parasitic beasts and is full of industrial atmosphere made Aika determine that this was one of the bases of the "Workshop" or "Chamber of Commerce".

Lolo operates with the Nemesis Society, but the place she moved to is the home of the smuggling group. It is difficult not to connect the two.

It doesn't matter how the Nemesis Society and the smuggling group deal with it. Aika is not concerned about this kind of thing at all. He just wants to know why Lolo comes together with them.

When the two of them walked to the intersection of lights...

"Ling..."

As soon as he called out Ling's name, Aika responded with Ling's blade.

Aika quickly put the two pistols in front of him to block, and the blade and the gun body collided, creating a string of sparks.

Ling didn't give Aika a chance to react. He used the reaction force of the blade to raise his leg and kick towards Aika's wrist. The two pistols separated from Aika's hands and fell behind him.

After Ling Xingyun smoothly performed the gorgeous kick, his body was still accumulating energy to prepare for the killing blow.

Although Ling's initial blow caught the unprepared Aika off guard, he already understood what happened during the brief battle.

"Ling, what are you doing!"

"No! I..."

The sword of light and the long-barreled cannon collided suddenly, locked in a stalemate. Aika drove the exoskeleton of his body and struggled to raise Ling's blade.

Then the regenerated pistol and barrel suppressed the blade of the Light Flame Sword.

At this moment, Aika and Ling's eyes met, and then he realized how abnormal the current situation was.

Ling's breathing was very disordered, and the fear of the unexpected situation could not be hidden in his eyes.

It was obviously impossible for her to launch such a swift and violent attack in this state, but her body acted like a puppet regardless of her body's condition.

Ling glanced at Aika with a pleading look, and once again launched an offensive like a torrent.

He jumped into the air with a vigorous posture, displaying swordsmanship and physical skills that were integrated into one.

It was impossible for Aika to use weapons to fight back against Ling. He could only drive his whole body exoskeleton to continuously resist Ling's attacks, and was gradually at a disadvantage of being suppressed by Ling.

Ling's attack was too harsh, leaving Aika no room to think about how to respond.

She found a gap in Aika's defense, rushed into his arms, and gave him a hard blow to the abdomen with the handle of the knife, finally completely destroying Aika's defense.

Psychic magic? Or is it the ability of unknown magic equipment? Aika was driven away while driving all her brain cells to think hard.

There were no signs of magic being activated around him, and Ling would have noticed it if there had been.

Looking at Ling who was standing with a knife, her expression did not collapse due to this series of unknown events. Instead, she gritted her teeth and tried hard to prevent her body from acting against her will.

"Light Flame Sword, if this continues, wouldn't it be like someone else is wielding you casually? When you lent me your power, we had a few words in person, but now you are silently being treated as someone who doesn't know who you are. Isn’t it very shameful to wave it around like a tool?”

Golden particles began to stir around Ling's body, as if the Light Flame Sword was giving Ling a series of reproachful answers.

The activation of magic is not affected by the body. As long as you calm down, you can use the ability of the Light Flame Sword as usual.

"Aika, protect yourself."

After hearing these words, Aika knew that Ling was ready to give it a try, and he drove his entire body's exoskeleton to quickly retreat toward higher ground.

"Light Flame Sword - Elemental Control! Find out all the hidden things!"

The power of colorful natural elements suddenly stirred up a frenzy of magic.

Various elements are gathered together and then blended, and the energy is compressed again and again.

Flying sand and rocks, Ling's magic turned into a storm of destruction.

Tens of millions of interactions occur within the natural elements that merge with each other in milliseconds. The energy that spreads swallows up everything around it, like the incarnation of destruction.

Under the raging force of this overwhelming force, everything around him was destroyed by a strong storm.

…………

Wei Xi has never used a destructive barrier. She's just not good at using it, or to be precise, she doesn't want to use any magic that hurts people.

Originally, I just wanted to hold Misty back, but the destructive power of her magic outfit "Star Bow·Five Emperors One" was too great.

"What should I do……"

Although Misty still hasn't broken through Wei Xi's defense, she has caused unsightly damage to the palace.

In desperation, Wei Xi had no choice but to move the battlefield to the "field".

If you need to suppress that kind of destructive power to a minimum, the ice field is undoubtedly the best choice, and it can weaken the attack power of fire magic to the greatest extent.

The barrier originally used to restrain Misty was only suitable for unexpected sneak attacks, and there was no chance of using it a second time after that.

Misty was riding on the giant steel snake, and she relentlessly launched all-out attacks on Wei Xi.

She seems to have only one purpose, which is to break Wei Xi's absolute defense.

Wei Xi did not use all her strength from the beginning of the battle, but only adopted a defensive posture as much as possible to delay time. Misty had already noticed this.

Obviously she no longer had to accompany this kind of farce, but Misty was piqued by the girl in front of her who looked to be the same age as herself.

No one on either side said a word during the battle, because from the many confrontations from the past to the present, Wei Xi already knew that communication was of little significance.

If it were Wei Xi in the past, she might still want to resolve disputes through verbal communication as much as possible. Through training again and again, she understood that sometimes fighting is also a way of communication.

The ice field has turned into a wasteland of broken ice, where the everlasting flames and the unmelting ice face the wind.

Wei Xi realized that she was in a completely passive position in this war of attrition, and that as the defending party, it was likely that the flaw would be caught and put her in a disadvantageous situation. She decided to try to use attacks to open a breakthrough.

"Multiple focus——"

Cang Liao's birdcage did not have all-round protection, because if the only person who needed protection was himself, there would be no need for such a waste of magic power. She flexibly adjusted the position of the pale magic barrier.

Under absolute defense, Wei Xi quietly stacked five magic arrays of varying sizes on her fingertips.

As far as basic magic is concerned, Wei Xi is only above average as a student of Frost Moon Academy, so it will definitely be difficult to deal with Misty.

So you can only use your own abilities to strengthen the basic magic.

Wei Xi continued to fill the five-layer magic array with magic power. The pure white light is blooming more and more, the magic power has been compressed to the maximum, and it is ready to go.

The attack power of this attack is no less than that of the mobile six-link attack constructed by mechanical alchemy. Wei Xi believes that she will never lag behind Hitomi.

Misty also noticed the danger of this magic power. She drew the bowstring of the mechanical long bow and was wary of Wei Xi's vigorous attack.

"I won't let you run away...Imprisonment!"

Taking advantage of the moment when Misty's attention was all focused on her fingertips, Wei Xi manipulated the third barrier to restrain the giant steel snake and Misty in mid-air.

Without missing any second, the compressed and focused magic bombardment was further strengthened as it passed through the "phosphorous birdcage" and shot straight towards Misty, who could not avoid it.

The "realm" will consume Wei Xi's magic power as it is destroyed internally, but the "destruction" caused by her own magic power is closer to "transformation" and will not have an uncomfortable impact on Wei Xi, so she can give it a try.

The power of annihilation is like a rainbow penetrating the sun. This was the first time Wei Xi directly used the power of destruction to attack someone. Her hands couldn't stop shaking from the moment she made up her mind.

Misty, who received a direct blow, was not unscathed. Her body fell from the air like falling leaves, and she finally managed to activate the buffering magic.

The dark dress became tattered, and the little bear doll lying on the shoulder also revealed the cotton stuffing inside. But it seemed that she was not fatally injured due to the ability of the magic costume.

Seeing that Misty's life was not in danger, Wei Xi breathed a sigh of relief.

"That person is no longer here, and I want to go back."

After falling back to the ground, Misty retracted the mechanical longbow and turned it back into a slender chain wrapped around her wrist.

"'That person'... refers to Luo Luo?"

Misty nodded, not trying to hide anything.

"Is it okay to stop here today?"

This is the first face-to-face communication between the two since the battle. Wei Xi nodded hurriedly and released the "realm" according to Misty's request.

If this was a life-and-life battle, it would be abnormal to comply with the enemy's demands.

Wei Xi herself didn't realize this, she just felt relieved that the battle was finally over.

Misty narrowed her eyes slightly to observe Wei Xi, which made Wei Xi feel uneasy like thorns all over her body.

"I hate good kids pretending to be good, especially someone like you."

With these words, Misty activated the transfer magic, and her petite figure disappeared with the light of magic.

It wasn't until she couldn't feel anyone's presence around her that Wei Xi knelt down on the ground dejectedly.

It's not because too much magic power was consumed in the battle. Even after experiencing such a fierce battle, Wei Xi did not feel any obvious symptoms of magic exhaustion.

Misty's words made her a little concerned.

Why would she say that...

Wei Xi couldn't think clearly.
