Endless Silver Machine

When Lilith heard the sirens and radio announcements, she was ready to leave the central square quickly.

The physical barrier of the auditorium has been deployed, and the interior of the central square cannot be seen from the auditorium.

"Lilith, come this way!"

"Um...eh?"

The ground suddenly began to shake, and the amplitude became larger and larger.

The Level 2 alert meant that unknown monsters had invaded Frost Moon Academy, and there were unnatural vibrations underground. Lilith thought of the possibility of the source of the earthquake.

Cracks in the ground arose, earth and rocks burst from the ground flying, and a pair of huge claws protruded from the sunken ground.

"Why do fourth-level burrowing beetles appear in such a place..."

Lilith's voice was trembling. In her impression, this kind of monster should live in a hot and dry area, not an area with a warm and humid climate all year round.

"Lilith, cheer up! Get out of here before it notices us."

"It's okay, I'm just a little surprised." Lilith took her partner's hand and stood up, her magic wand always kept visible, "I'm sorry, can I ask you a favor at this time?"

…………

Aika and Wei Xi broke into the blocked central square against the flow of people. The staff here had already gone to participate in the evacuation, so there was no one to stop them from breaking in.

Ling had to assist the work of the Discipline Team. Luoluo, who knew the inside story, could not stop Aika and did not have enough ability to participate in the battle against the monsters. She chose to help Qiu Ke carry out the work of the student union and borrowed the power of Shuangyue Academy to help Aika as much as possible. Ka and Weixi offer assistance.

Through the communication network, they learned that Senior Lilith was still alone in the central square. There was no sound in the video, and Aika didn't know what she said to her partner's senior sister. From the video, it could be seen that she and her partner seemed to have a dispute, and in the end only senior Lilith stayed where she was.

"The cave beetle is a fourth-level monster. Senior Lilith is in danger alone..."

——That guy... He clearly said that when a second-level monster or above appears, the only option is to run away, so why...

The smell of rust came from Aika's clenched lower lip, and he swallowed back the vomiting sensation.

"Lilith!"

"Eh?"

When she heard someone calling her name directly, Senior Lilith reacted immediately while holding on to the magical staff and confronting the monster.

"Aika...classmate..."

"What are you doing!"

Before Senior Lilith could finish speaking, Aika grabbed her wrist and walked back. Feeling inexplicably anxious, he didn't notice at all that he had omitted the honorific title for Senior Lilith.

"Wait, wait a minute, classmate Aika..." Unexpectedly, Senior Sister Lilith still insisted on breaking away from Aika's hand, "We can't leave here now, someone must be here."

"Stop talking nonsense! It's impossible to win, Lilith, don't you know very well!"

"I know it's impossible to defeat it here." There was no fear in Senior Lilith's body, "But I also want to be able to do something. The cave beetle will not stay in a place without prey, it sneaks into the ground If it moves, the defense of the central square will be completely ineffective. At that time, the people who are currently taking refuge will become its target. Shimozuki Academy has not yet determined the type of monster, and the current measures are meaningless against the cave beetle. .I have asked my partner to pass on the information."

"Even so!" Aika held down Senior Lilith's shoulders and used her hands unconsciously, "Even so... we shouldn't use our lives as a bargaining chip. Obviously we don't even have the means to protect ourselves now. If an accident happens, Otherwise, Mrs. Elise, and everyone else will not be as grateful to you as you imagine. Your life does not belong to you alone!"

"It hurts..."

Tears welled up in Senior Lilith's eyes.

This is the first time Aika has seen her showing signs of weakness since meeting her.

"Yeah, sorry!"

Aika quickly let go of Senior Sister Lilith. His hands were a little numb due to excessive force, and his excitement was cooled down.

Tears fell from Senior Lilith's eyes, and when she noticed the tears streaking her cheeks, she quickly raised her hand to wipe away the traces of tears.

"That kind of thing...of course I know..."

"Senior Lilith, Brother Aika means no harm... Please forgive him, we will stay with you to buy time..."

Wei Xi held Senior Lilith's hanging hands.

"but……"

Senior Lilith looked at Aika at a loss.

"I'm angry just because you want to bear everything alone..."

"I'm sorry..." Senior Sister Lilith's tone was a little lower, "But, I'm worried that you will also..."

"Are the questions you repeatedly confirmed to me before just a joke?"

"Of course not!" Senior Sister Lilith defended loudly, "This is just...I'm sorry..."

"Wei Xi, the three of us, is it possible for the three of us to escape unscathed from this kind of thing?"

"I think if you try your best, you should be able to..."

If you try your best...that means Wei Xi will no longer seal the strength of the Holy See Knights, and Aika will no longer hide the existence of the magic equipment.

"Senior Lilith, I'm sorry, I was a little impulsive just now." It wasn't until she calmed down that Aika realized that she had not understood Senior Lilith's determination. It was obvious that both of them were just sticking to their own principles. , "I should be the one who should apologize to you, but let's save these words for later."

The ground shook violently again, and the cave-dwelling beetle that had been motionless used its huge claws to support the ground and slowly emerged from the burrow.

"This is the fourth level of monster..."

On the body covered by a hard shell, there are five pairs of bristly limbs extending out from the left and right sides. The most threatening thing is probably the pair of claws that can easily break rocks.

"Brother Aika, I will expand my 'domain' here so that no one else can see me..."

"Thank you, Wei Xi, it's been a big help!"

With Wei Xi's blinding method, Aika can let go and unfold the magic weapon "Eye of Fiery Eyes".

Wei Xi smiled shyly, and then the scene around her suddenly changed to a seaside beach.

The first time Wei Xi used the "field" of high-level enchantment magic in front of Aika was in the tavern of Pufa Town. Aika was not surprised to see the hallucinatory environment change again.

"Eh...Eh?"

Instead, senior Lilith, who had never been exposed to this kind of magic, looked around in panic as the scene was changed.

Aika was just about to explain to Senior Lilith that Warcraft did not give him such time. Aika noticed this and hugged Senior Lilith to get out of the way of the paw that was smashed down.

"A-Aika?!"

Senior Lilith, who was held in Aika's arms, stuttered when she spoke.

"Now we can only deal with this guy in one go before we can have time to talk."

Probably sensing that Wei Xi's huge magic power filled the entire space, the cave beetle suddenly began to run rampant as if it was stimulated by some kind of stimulus.

"Aika, the head is its weak point!" Senior Lilith, who was released by Aika after being out of danger, reminded Aika loudly, "That's a softer place than the abdomen!"

"Even if you say so..." Aika reluctantly avoided the path of the cave beetle, "There is no way to unfold the magic equipment like this..."

The magic bullets of the twin guns cannot cause effective damage to the hard shell of the burrowing beetle. Senior Lilith used the natural elves to continuously create roadblocks to hinder the activities of the cave beetles, but she did not create a decisive opportunity.

"Brother Aika, Senior Lilith should be able to control it for a short time. Can you use that time to attack..."

"There's no problem with unfolding the magic equipment," Aika gritted her teeth and responded to Wei Xi, "But it's not hard to say whether it can hit or not."

The head of a burrowing beetle is significantly different in size compared to its body. What's more, any creature has the instinct to protect its own weak points, and that pair of chelae is enough to protect such a small head.

"I'm here to help..."

"Classmate Wei Xi, the barrier magic cannot be superimposed. Your body will not be able to bear it!"

Wei Xi's reluctance could be heard in her voice. To maintain the "field" of high-level enchantment magic and to defend against the uninterrupted attacks of monsters, Wei Xi's petite body would be impossible to hold on, and it would most likely cause irreversible damage and leave sequelae.

"If it were me, I should be able to do it...certainly..."

However, Wei Xi's proposal is the only way to win the possibility of everyone escaping unscathed. Aika and Senior Lilith could only blame themselves for being helpless, and then do what Wei Xi said.

"I will definitely stop it!"

Senior Lilith raised her magic weapon staff. The sand on the ground rises high like conscious tentacles, and the toughness strengthened by the natural elves is no less than a chain, tightly binding the cave beetle's body.

"Mechanical Alchemy—Mobile Six Links!"

The silver fort appears. This is the weapon that Aika deployed when fighting the monsters that attacked Lilith-senpai, but it is no longer a "prototype", but has been comprehensively improved. There are control gears at the connection parts of the six parallel barrels. Device that can stably use the main gun for saturation attacks.

Several pure white magic arrays are stacked layer by layer from large to small in front of the parallel barrels, and the magic power in the magic array is compressed layer by layer.

Aika could feel her whole body bathed in Wei Xi's warm magic power. Following her guidance, she aimed at the bound monster.

——Brother Aika, I am here...

It was as if he heard Wei Xi's soft voice, and she was within arm's reach at this moment.

Following this, a torrent of silver magic power passed through the magic circle and penetrated directly through the body covered with hard shell.
