Endless Silver Machine

The body is restrained by the spider web woven by the long whip, just like every sharp thorn on the rose vine's long whip is endlessly absorbing Aika's magic power and vitality.

Just when the sharp edge of the knight's spear was about to penetrate this defenseless body, it was suddenly blocked by a pale magic barrier.

When this knight's spear thrusts in a straight line, the attack power will be doubled, and the defensive magic of any country's magician can be broken through.

Therefore, when the thrust encountered great resistance, the imperial knight holding the gun still did not regard this magic barrier as an obstacle.

The triangular tip of the knight's spear rubbed against the pale magic barrier to create dazzling particle sparks.

However, silver-white magic power that was different from the light of particle sparks penetrated into it.

"This is……"

Noticing the foreign magic mixed in around him, the Imperial Knight quickly turned the tip of his spear and instinctively fired the second shot.

With a "clang" explosion, the huge knight's spear was hit by a weapon of the same mass.

The second impact of magic burst out with even more dazzling light in the dim earth and stone passage.

"Team leader, his restraints are lifted."

The female knight withdrew the long whip that formed the spider web, and one end of the long whip seemed to have been burned, leaving only a blackened stump.

The long whip, like a thorny purple rose branch, squirmed and regenerated as if it were alive.

Another knight held his dagger horizontally in front of him.

The knight's spear was knocked away by the heavy force, and the tip of the spear deviated far from the expected target.

In such a narrow earth and stone passage, although this weapon can exert its maximum power, it is also subject to many limitations.

The inability to adjust the offense quickly is one of them.

"Tsk...switch formation!"

"learn."

The spear knight retreated amid the sparks of magic, and the short sword knight immediately filled the gap.

This short sword can leave wounds on the opponent that cannot be healed and will gradually expand over time. It is very cruel in nature.

This is a weapon that allows the enemy to retreat without a fight after continuously accumulating damage, but it is meaningless without leaving wounds on the opponent's body.

"The positioning is complete, Miss Hitomi..."

"...The performance is pretty good."

When the dazzling magic light dissipated, silver-white converging magic power shot out from the place.

In order to adapt to the nature of his magical equipment, the Dagger Knight has the most outstanding mobility among the three knights.

He was planning to leave incurable wounds before Aika resumed his activities, but he was ultimately a step slower than Wei Xi.

The restrained magic shots poured into the dim earth and stone passage like a flood, without causing the unstable earth and stone structure to collapse.

The three Imperial Knights were caught off guard by the torrent of silver-white magic.

The continuous output bombardment lasted for several seconds before further condensing and dissipating.

In front of the rubble where the original condition could no longer be seen, Aika, surrounded by silver and pure white magic power, stood proudly.

The right arm stretched straight forward is no longer holding the pistol, and the huge long-barreled gun body extends from the elbow.

The front section of the silver-white cannon body and the pure white three-layer magic array dissipated step by step. She had completed the task of positioning and restraining it.

Aika repelled the attack by wielding a cannon body that was as good as a knight's spear.

"..."

The physical burden brought by the magic equipment will not affect the holder, so the seemingly heavy barrel is not an unbearable load for Aika.

But he still gritted his teeth and lowered his arms, using the barrel as a crutch to support his body.

"Brother Aika..."

"……coming soon."

On the other hand, the shelling just now had only temporarily pushed back the three Imperial knights.

The spear knight used the knight's spear to withstand most of the impact at the critical moment, and the female knight also used her long whip to form a spider web barrier to protect herself and the short sword knight.

"But Brother Aika's body..."

"I can still hold on. Hitomi, give me the pistol, and leave it to Wei Xi for defense."

In fact, now Aika feels that her head is swollen and painful, and her body seems not to be her own.

Wei Xi's body had disappeared when he noticed it, and her existence resided in Aika's consciousness just like Hitomi.

Therefore, his current physical condition cannot be hidden from them, and a quick solution is the key.

The familiar pistol appeared in Aika's left hand, while his right hand still held the silver barrel.

"The Qianze family's mechanical alchemy, let us see it."

The spear knight raised his knight's spear again, and pointed the triangular spear tip at Aika.

He arched his waist and made a declaration of thrusting with all his strength.

Then the figure of the short sword knight flashed and completely disappeared from the place.

The next second, his figure holding a short sword flashed into the suddenly closing distance.

The gleaming dagger swung down towards Aika's right shoulder, and Aika blocked the attack with his left arm holding the gun. At the same time, he pointed the muzzle of the gun at the dagger knight's body and pulled the trigger.

But the figure of the short sword knight disappeared again. Aika's bullet only hit the wall of the earth and stone passage, and the gravel collapsed.

The spear tip of the spear knight has accumulated enough magic power in the thrust distance.

"Wei Xi, protect Tong!"

The pure white magic power that was already covering the silver-white cannon immediately became intense.

Aika waved the long-barreled cannon body that was integrated with his right arm, trying to use the huge cannon body to resist the thrust of the knight's spear.

But this time Aika's attack did not gain an advantage. The power of the knight's spear lifted Aika's barrel high.

The thrust of the knight's spear was different from before. Most of the magic power had been consumed when fighting against Cang Phosphorus's birdcage.

The cannon body was blown away by the knight's spear, and Aika's body was wide open, completely exposed to the thrust trajectory of the knight's spear.

At the critical moment, Aika moved his body to evade, and the tip of the triangular spear grazed his abdomen and stabbed him.

But what splashed out was not Aika's blood, but pure white magic debris.

"Woo..."

"Wei Xi, are you okay?"

"I'm sorry, I can only do this now..."

Wei Xi apologized in Aika's consciousness, and the defense that was shattered by the thrust was rebuilt.

After barely avoiding the spear knight's thrust, Aika's left arm suddenly suffered a heavy blow.

Probably when his attention was diverted by the spear knight's attack, the figure of the short sword knight was already so close.

The short knife that could leave wounds that would never heal failed to break through Wei Xi's defense, but it also shattered the pure magic barrier.

At the same time, the long whip that popped up like a poisonous snake wrapped around Aika's left arm, and the thorns on the long whip continued to consume the remaining magic barrier.

The short sword knight was about to swing the short sword again, leaving Aika with heavy damage before Wei Xi's defense could be reorganized.

"Mechanical Alchemy - Predator!"

The cross-fire of six floating cannons caught up in time, destroying the long whip on his wrist, and forced the short sword knight to retreat without swinging a second sword.

"Don't force yourself, you're already doing a great job."

"Woo..."

"..."

"The same goes for Hitomi. I feel more skilled than before, and my cooperation is much better."

"……certainly."

Even so, Aika is still only restrained by the three knights.

The wheel war goes against Aika. The longer the time drags on, the heavier the load will be on Aika to use two magic outfits at the same time.

Now, the proof is that his reaction speed has dropped a lot, otherwise he shouldn't be taken advantage of by the short sword knight.

If the entire earth and stone passage is destroyed, it can probably stop the Imperial Knights, but it will also lose its retreat.

"Wei Xi, use the 'Cang Phosphorous Bird Cage' on us. Hitomi, use all your magic power on the attack."

"Eh? I understand, but what to do..."

"I don't agree with it. This is a risky behavior with unpredictable results."

"I believe in Wei Xi, and I believe in you."

"..."

In just a few seconds of explanation, the Imperial Knights had already regrouped.

Although she remained silent in response to Aika's words, Hitomi still responded to his needs.

Dozens of prismatic machines that are incompatible with the earth and stone passage are lined up on four extension lines up, down, left, and right, and three mechanical claws are firmly inserted into the stone wall.

"What's this……"

"That guy shouldn't be... careful! This is a suicide attack!"

The battle-hardened spear knight immediately understood Aika's approach.

Small machines were spread throughout the earth and stone passage, and both the Imperial Knights and Aika himself were within coverage.

“Mechanical Alchemy—Tungus Electric Field!”

When the pale magic barrier unfolded again, the dim earth and stone passage was illuminated by silvery white arcs as bright as day.
