Endless Silver Machine

The surrounding area of ​​the palace was filled with the tremors of the fierce battle. At this time, the palace of the Gods, which was targeted by the parasitic beast group, was like an empty city.

As soon as her feet touched the ground of the palace, Aika felt the aura of nostalgia.

Like the source of uneasy fluctuations, and like intermittent threads, connecting Aika and Luoluo.

This feeling floating in the air clearly told Aika that Lolo was here, somewhere in this palace.

"It is said that the surrounding area of ​​the palace is already infested with parasitic beasts. As for that over there..."

From the high palace, you can only see the mist from a distance, which is where Ruby's "Mist Realm" is activating her ability.

The message Teacher Letika sent to Wei Xi only informed Luo Luo that she was here, but did not explain who else was there besides her.

Among the people in the Nemesis Society who might be acting together with Lolo, Aika could only think of the frivolous man in white and the young girl following him.

If the two of them were here, Aika and the others wouldn't have the energy to think about supporting Ruby.

"Ruby's side..."

"Feili's fleet is already on the way and will be back soon, as are Leilu-san and Corel-san... Carlo-san stayed in the palace from the beginning, and should be by Ruby's side now..."

After listening to Wei Xi's explanation of the current situation, she could only hope that the Tusi Kong fleet, which supported Ruby and Caroliel in their fight against the parasitic beast group, could catch up in time.

Aika gritted his teeth and ran in the shortest direction according to his intuition.

He didn't know the specific direction, he just held tightly to the thread connecting Luoluo, believing that he would be able to find her in this direction.

…………

Lolo pressed the muzzle of his sniper rifle against Mentor Letika's head.

Teacher Letika's left leg has lost the ability to move freely, and her life can easily be taken away by simply pulling the trigger.

The moment Aika returned to the palace, her heart was also shaken violently because of the magical path between the two. But at this moment, she still couldn't understand this shaken body.

We cannot easily use "absolute royal power" to trample on the dignity of others. When Luo Luo used this power on himself, he imprinted this principle deep in his sleeping soul.

Why am I so anxious, as if something nasty is approaching me.

Even though she was restless deep in her heart, she still wanted to complete the purpose of coming here in person.

She knelt down in front of Instructor Letika and took out a cylindrical needle-free syringe from her waist.

Teacher Letika looked at the familiar equipment and smiled. She also studied in the Pharmacy Department for a period of time when she was a student, so she could naturally recognize these familiar instruments at a glance.

"As expected, it's something from the Pharmacy Department. I don't think it's the antidote for this poisonous mist..."

"This is a common hypnotic."

The girl in front of her is indeed the real Luo Luo.

Although I don't know why she has become so callous and ruthless now, there must be some hidden secret that she didn't notice.

Perhaps only her brother Aika knows this secret. Following this secret, we may be able to find out her flaws.

"I'm sorry, I have to take you out of here right away. Although there is a more direct way for you to hand over the magic equipment, I don't want you to feel the pain, so please cooperate honestly."

Just when Luo Luo reached out and touched Teacher Letika, preparing to inject the medicine in the tube into Teacher Letika's arm, Teacher Letika suddenly took action.

She used "Aurora of Mirrors" to forcefully destroy the floor of the corridor. The two people who lost their footing fell to the bottom one after another, escaping from the control of the poisonous mist.

Instructor Letika activated the divine floating magic to avoid falling directly to the ground, while Lolo activated the buffering magic when he landed.

Instructor Letika, who regrouped faster than Luoluo, naturally would not give her a chance to breathe.

"Jing Hua's Aurora - Soul Seal!"

Slender light beams like thorns penetrated Luoluo's body in a chaotic manner.

"!"

Luo Luo let out a silent whine.

Although her whole body was penetrated by Teacher Letika's slender beam of light, not a trace of blood flowed from her body.

As the name of the ability suggests, this is an attack that works directly on the soul. "Aurora of Mirrors" caused the scorching energy to penetrate into her soul. The slow penetration like gnawing at bones and flesh was far more painful than hurting the body.

While controlling Lolo's movements, Instructor Letika destroyed the needleless syringe in her hand.

"The Aurora of Mirrors - Mirror of Ten Thousand Flowers!"

Several rectangular one-way mirrors and soul seals tightly locked up Luo Luo from top to bottom, left, and right.

It's unknown how long this can trap Luoluo, it's just a stopgap measure for now.

It’s not that Instructor Letika doesn’t have the ability to knock down Lolo, it’s just that she thinks it should be up to Aika to decide how to deal with Lolo.

"Aika-kun, come here quickly..."

…………

Running in the castle, Aika didn't see anyone.

I heard that the children of the Sea Mist Fleet were also staying in the palace today, so everyone may have evacuated under the guidance of the waiter.

Earthquakes from the outside world spread to the ground of the palace from time to time, and the screams of the parasitic beasts were no closer than what they first heard. It seemed that the protoss troops led by Ruby and Caroliel had successfully contained them.

The latest violent vibration came from inside the palace. Originally, Aika didn't care about the shock.

However, a few seconds later, a sharp pain penetrated Aika's heart like something.

The sharp pain that almost caused gastrointestinal spasm and vomiting caused him to break out in cold sweat, and he fell to his knees unsteadily.

"Aika!"

Ling reached out and hugged his body in time before he fell.

She did not allow Aika to continue to stand up, but helped him sit down with his back against the cracked wall.

"I sweat a lot..."

When the handkerchief wiped Aika's face, most of it was already soaked.

"Is it because Luoluo is nearby..."

"It may be the influence of that magic channel. Aika, how do you feel now?"

Both Ling and Wei Xi knew that there was some special power connecting Aika and Luoluo, and the two became one through this power. The pain felt by Luoluo will also be fed back to Aika.

There was no color on Aika's face, and the pain directly felt by his soul and the fatigue of his body melted together.

"Lolo is right in front..."

"You can't do anything even if you are in front of Luo Luo like this. Wei Xi, stay with him and watch him. If anything happens, I will inform you first."

Putting her handkerchief into Wei Xi's hand before she could speak, Ling immediately prepared to stand up and move on.

But there was an inexplicable force that grabbed her arm, it was Aika.

"Who says I can't move on?"

Even if she just couldn't let go of her pride, Aika would never allow Ling to face Luo Luo instead of herself who should have been the first to arrive.

Ling had no choice but to squat down again in front of Aika.

Hold his hand tightly and ease his pain as much as possible.

The shaking on the ground became more and more violent, and the palace seemed to begin to shake. There were explosions and rising smoke outside the window that were incomparable to those before.

It seemed that the mobile troops rushed back to the palace as quickly as possible. Probably with the protection of Ruby's "Mirror of Mist", Feili is unscrupulously using the heavy weapons carried by Tusi Kong to launch a sweep against the parasitic beast group on the ground.

If the mobile unit returns in time, at least the defense around the palace can feel at ease.

Just when Aika wanted to take a breath, the giant steel snake suddenly attacked and completely destroyed the corridor around them and the ceiling.

The ceiling turned into countless huge stones falling towards the three of them...

"The phosphorus birdcage——"

When it came into contact with Wei Xi's barrier, it was broken into scattered debris.

The young girl holding a mechanical longbow walked slowly and slowly from behind the giant steel snake hovering in the sky.

"Misty..."

"It happens..." Misty held the giant steel snake with her hand and looked down at the three of Aika. "You seemed to be here, so I came here first."

Even when facing three people, there was no trace of fear in Misty's expression. She seemed to just look like the outcome would be good no matter what.

"Star Bow·Five Emperors Constellation One—Chain Detonation..."

The giant steel snake raised its tail, and the moment it came into contact with the floor of the corridor, it created a raging heat wave, and even the falling stones were picked up by the wind pressure.

But it seems that this level cannot shake Wei Xi's defense, or Misty's original goal was not them.

The heat wave rolled over, leaving behind a cliff-like ravine at the explosion site, and the building materials on the lower floors turned into broken walls dripping with high-temperature molten slurry.

Aika has experienced this kind of scene countless times. It is enough to know that Misty's purpose is to block her way.

"Where is Luoluo?"

He stood up holding on to the wall. I don’t know if he has developed a sense of resistance against the various obstructions of the Nemesis Society, or if he cares about Lolo more than anything else. The pain in his soul seems not worth mentioning now.

Misty tilted her head and pointed obediently to the end of the corridor that had turned into a cliff.

"But I don't want you to go there." She faced the three hostile people again, "Although that person asked me to find the magic equipment, you are the ones Weir wants."

"I don't know what you want to express."

Ling held the sword in front, now was not the time to be held back by Misty.

Regardless of whether Misty is lying or not, the Lolo they are looking for must be just ahead of Aika's intuition.

Wei Xi raised her hand, and pure white magic was released from the fault space, entangling Misty and the giant steel snake.

"I'll hold her back..." She tried her best to show a strong smile, "Brother Aika and Sister Ling, go pick up Luoluo..."

Can Wei Xi do it alone? Needless to say, the answer is that Aika can confidently leave her back to Wei Xi.

"We'll be back soon, Wei Xi, hold on."

Aika's hands let go of the wall supporting her body.

"Mechanical Alchemy - Skeleton Circuit!"

A silver-white full-body exoskeleton covered Aika's whole body, and all the accumulated load on the body seemed to be absorbed by the silver-white armor covering the whole body.

The mechanical wings of the same color on the back have also been modified into small thrusters integrated into part of the exoskeleton of the whole body.

"Ling, we are ready to force a breakthrough."

"What, what's going on! What is this, Aika!"

Aika completely ignored the confused Ling's screams and hugged her with both hands without any explanation.

The thrusters on the back ejected silvery-white magic particles, and the two people hugging each other turned into a silvery-white light, quickly breaking through Misty, who was restrained by Wei Xi.

However, Misty did not try to stop their ideas. When Aika and Ling passed by, she was still looking at Wei Xi who had a serious look on the opposite side.

…………

Even if the "Aurora of Mirrors" could control Lolo for a long enough time, the poisonous mist had already penetrated into Teacher Letika's body, and her hands and feet had become obviously paralyzed. The reason why her thinking was not affected was because she needed to retain her thinking ability to voluntarily give up the possession of the magic equipment.

If this continues, it will only be a matter of time before the toxicity spreads throughout the body, and may even cause irreversible damage, which cannot be alleviated without Luoluo's antidote.

When Teacher Letika was exhausted physically and mentally, she could no longer maintain the ability of "Aurora of Mirrors", and the Coffin of Ten Thousand Flowers Mirror that imprisoned Lolo lost its effect.

The silver-white sniper rifle is also a product of magic power. When Luoluo's soul is directly attacked, it turns into magic particles and dissipates.

After she was released from the confinement, her knees were weak and she knelt on the ground. Sweat dripped down her cheeks and became one with the dust.

The pain remains unabated. Although the soul has been liberated, more and more heartburning anxiety follows.

"Lolo!"

The shouts coming from the end of the broken corridor made her raise her head and look at the man who turned into a meteor and flew towards her.

The silver knight, fully equipped with armor, placed his feet firmly on the ground and put down the blond girl he was holding.

Ling jumped out of Aika's arms as if she was about to escape, and casually arranged her clothes that had become a little messy when she arrived.

"Tell me before you do it..."

While complaining to himself, he summoned the Light Flame Sword.

This is the first time that Luo Luo and Aika stand in the same space after leaving home. What is reflected in the red eyes is the tall figure of the silver knight holding two guns.

Her lips seemed to move, but she did not call Aika "brother" as affectionately as usual.

The younger sister in a dark wedding dress was also reflected in Aika's eyes. There are obviously many things that I want to tell her, but when I really see her, I can't say a word.

"Lolo..."

Aika wanted to get closer to Luo Luo, but the look Luo Luo looked at him made him stay away.

I have never seen Luo Luo look at him with such terrifying eyes. Even the look in his eyes when he was angry was a hundred times better than now.

At the same time, a more severe cramp than before hit Aika's heart.

However, the expression on Luoluo's face looked even more painful than him.

No matter what Luoluo is thinking now. Aika just wanted to reach out and touch her body, to feel the reality that she was indeed right in front of him.

A glass bottle the size of a fingernail appeared between Luoluo's fingers that did not exist before.

Perhaps Luoluo's fingers were trembling unconsciously. The glass bottle slipped from her slender fingers and fell to the ground with a crisp shattering sound. The magic circle that suddenly unfolded enveloped the three of them.
