Echoes of the Wasteland Chapter 36: Light of the Mechanical Spirit "Say, it seems that we can't go to Sunida Town without defeating him. Route 62 is the only way to get there. If we take a detour, we have to
Walking along the Gobi desert on the edge of the old Uko and Helin provinces for at least a week. So, Sai, are you sure that your magic power cannot be used at all?" Luo Nie turned his head and looked at Sai who stayed in the car and asked
road.
"I, I should be able to. In addition to building a force field, I should be able to use other magic sources. Even without potions, I...I will try to pay attention to the degree of use. I should...should be able to keep from losing my mind." Sa.
Yi whispered timidly.
Immediately afterwards, he exhaled, supported his body from the dusty seat cushion embroidered with strange dark blue patterns on the back of the classic car, and gently rolled out of the open rear seat window.
"Not bad, Sai, you are very energetic. I wonder if you can still transform? Just like that day, like a scorpion?" Luo Nie laughed and teased.
"Brother Luonie, I don't think it's appropriate for you to use this to tease me now. Let's not mention that I have the potential of the lost person stimulated by the potion, and now I can't use it again. Just look at that monster, brother Luonie, he seems
I'm angry." Sai stretched out the fingertips of his white hands wearing black half-finger gloves and weird-patterned wrist guards, and stretched them forward.
"It is angry, indeed." Luo Nie said in a deep voice, his eyes began to become bright, staring at the monster that looked like a big "hair ball" in front of him, surging with the part of the fighting magic power in his body.
.
"However, Sai. This monster does not seem to belong to the sequence of sequential monsters. A few years ago, I was lucky enough to read information on more than a thousand sequential monsters when I was in the Sogra Library. It seems that it does not exist. Look at its heart."
Luo Nie stretched out his hand and pointed at the fiery red glowing core of the monster that looked like a big "hairball".
"It should be biased towards the heterogeneous Heartless, but the smell of burning liquid on its body is very pure, and it doesn't seem to be naturally formed." Luo Nie analyzed.
Then, he took two steps forward, stretched out his white left arm, and subconsciously protected Sai behind him.
The noble human sentiment in his heart told him to protect the weak and the children, who are the future of this wasteland world.
Even though he's only half human!
"Artificial... Alien Heartless?" Sai asked, reaching out to pull down Wright's arm slightly, staring at the slowly squirming monster in front of him.
Most of the unintentional people after the New Yuan have no possibility of promotion or evolution, and because of the existence of the Lost, they can be infected and manipulated in batches.
But there are always existences that are beyond the rules. In a small number of cases, unintentional people can evolve by devouring each other, resulting in mutations, forming either huge and weird bodies, or super powerful, but still low in intelligence and living by instinct.
The alien heartless man.
"It's man-made. If that's the case, things will become weird. Say, I wonder if you have sensed anything through spiritual or demonic power." Luo Nie asked.
"Perception?" Sai asked doubtfully, frowning as he looked at the huge monster in front of him.
"Yes, perception." Luo Nie nodded and said: "I did not perceive the existence of any magic source power from his body, and when the spirit was formed just now, I did not perceive any collision of spirits at all. In other words
In other words, he may belong to the scientific category of the steam world, rather than the mysterious category of the extraordinary world."
"So, someone is conducting illegal experiments in the human world?" Sai asked cautiously, looking at the "monster".
"It's possible, but now we should fight. Which one is better between magic and steam, I would like to give it a try." Luo Nie said, with a slightly weird smile on his lips.
He is a product of the Lord of Machines, but under the influence of the magic source and the human world, he has become more and more like a real human being. He believes in magic and extraordinary, and even connected with false gods through dreams in order to get guidance.
But he cannot truly enter the [professional] ranks, not even the lowest profession among human beings.
Because he does not have the wisdom sequence core that humans are born with, even if the Socra Professional Certification Committee issued him a certification for a lower profession, he would not be able to truly understand the details of the profession and step into this industry.
He has been exploring the extraordinary and magic with his mechanical body. He has always wanted to try and use the power of the combination of machinery and magic to defeat powerful beings similar to the Lost One after another, and then obtain the sequence core under the guidance of the gods, thus
After passing every test set by the Creator, he was promoted to become a demigod, and finally became a sequential god.
The prompts from the stone tablets, the guidance from the false gods, and the changes in the current situation all point to one place - Silent Heights.
So, the huge "hairball" monster standing in front of him now is the first obstacle he must overcome.
Even though it has a huge size, wriggling fur, strong tentacles, and a pair of red eyes like a scarlet moon.
"Say, you stay back. I'm going to attack. If my attack is unfavorable, I hope you will look for opportunities and use the magic source power to detect its weaknesses. I will be responsible for the game of strength, and you will be responsible for the sneak attack!"
"Okay!" Sai responded with a firm tone.
Immediately afterwards, Luo Nie took a deep breath and quickly withdrew the human emotion in his body. He bent his legs and held the heavy "BK-58" pistol, which was 40 centimeters long and made of steel, with both hands.
Aimed at the monster.
bump!
bump!
The dim yellow bullet drew a perfect parabola at a distance of tens of meters. As a spark that did not move very fast in his eyes pierced the heavy air, the brass bullet rushed straight towards him like a warrior.
The monster's scarlet eyes.
However, apart from the whistling sound of friction with the air, the fired bullet went straight through the monster's eye, leaving no trace except for a layer of faint ripples on the surface of the bright red eyeball.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "No sound? Passed through?"
This weird scene made Luo Nie unable to understand it for a moment. If it were a pure mutated heartless person, attacking the weakest point like the eyes would be more effective than a chest covered with bone armor.
But if it is a monster with magic power that is closer to the Crazy Lost One, it should use the magic power to generate extraordinary power to block it, and then counterattack.
But now the brass bullet has completely disappeared as if it has been swallowed!
Weird, so weird!
However, before Luo Nie could think further, the "hairball" monster seemed to be annoyed by Luo Nie's behavior and began to roar violently, a mixture of the sounds of birds and beasts.
Moreover, its roar does not seem to be a simple cry, but is mixed with several words that resemble the Zine Empire language.
"Say, did you hear anything?" Luo Nian took two steps forward and asked with a tilt of his head.
"It seems like it wanted to say something, but I didn't hear it clearly, brother Luonie." Sai said seriously.
"I want to try to stimulate him again to see what he will say." Luo Nie said, biting the corner of his mouth, ready for the monster's counterattack.
Immediately afterwards, he jumped up gently with his legs, stepped on the top of the dilapidated classic car, and set up the "BK-47" pistol again.
This time, he chose to aim at the monster's bone-armored chest, where the red light shone, which was the core heart area that was condensed by the burning liquid and belonged to the Wuxin people.
Touch! Touch! Touch!
Luo Nie relied on the guidance of his spiritual power and the superb marksmanship left behind by years of mechanical memory, and chose to shoot at the joints of the bone armor's flakes.
This monster does not seem to have achieved the perfection that could only be achieved by its creator. There are a few gaps between the pieces of the bone armor, and perhaps shooting will have some effect.
Immediately afterwards, the development of reality seemed to confirm Luo Nie's guess. After the bullet whizzed towards the gap in the bone armor, it did not disappear suddenly like the scarlet eye.
The first two made a dull and sharp sound similar to metal hitting stone, while the third one successfully penetrated into the monster's chest, making a crisp sound of collision with metal.
"Woo-woo-dumb-dumb-roar!"
The monster seemed to be stung by Luo Nie's attack, and it let out a wail that sounded like a dog, a cry that looked like a crow, and a roar that looked like a beast.
Then, the monster suddenly squirmed forward a few steps, then stretched out two huge tentacles that were intertwined with pitch black and scarlet, with countless tiny eyeballs and fluff, and attacked in front of Luo Nie.
boom!
The monster seemed to have deficiencies in intelligence and vision. Even though Luo Nie stood in a conspicuous position above the classic car, the five-meter-long tentacles seemed to be shorter, and they suddenly fell down one or two meters in front of Luo Nie.
Luo.
Along with the dust raised, the tentacle only made a small pit about half a meter in diameter on the ground, with some rancid liquid and broken blocks, but other than that there was no extra destructive power.
"Say." Luo Nie jumped out of the car with some pride, crossed the small pit, took a few steps towards the dark shadow formed by the monster's huge body, then turned around and said with a victorious smile:
"I feel that it may be an experiment, but a failed experiment. As you can see, his eyesight and IQ seem to be insufficient."
However, just as he turned his back to the monster and looked at Sayi's brown pupils with a proud expression, expecting his envious praise, he suddenly felt that the shadow behind him seemed to extend a bit.
Then, he saw Sai's frightened eyes, the small mouth shaped like the letter "O" opened wide, and the blood-red hands that were surging urgently, which were barely close to the magic source power of the 5th pain level of the Lost Order.
.
"Be careful behind you!" Sai shouted anxiously.
"What?" Luo Nie hurriedly turned around.
The "hair ball" monster actually took advantage of Luo Nie's proud moment to show off and launched another attack!
This time it chose to wave its three strongest bottom tentacles, and with a strong smell like a dead fish and the sound of a huge object flying through the air, it bombarded Luo Nie's body.
"Give me the light of the mechanical spirit..." Before Luo Nie finished reciting the spell, the three tentacles merged into one and hit Luo Nie's head directly.
boom!
The dull sound of heavy objects hitting the ground, combined with the sound of machinery shattering, passed through the front of Luo Nie's body.
Although Luo Nie was able to construct a second-level light shield in the flash of lightning, the sudden attack still knocked him back several meters and fell heavily to the ground.
"Brother Luonie." Sai roared angrily with a hint of tears.
Immediately afterwards, he surged the bright red magic power in his hands, forming a red dagger with a hint of flame, which pierced the monster's tentacles through the air.
Ignoring the damage caused by the attack, Sai hurriedly ran back, half-crouched on the ground, and struggled to pick up Luo Nie's heavy body.
"He pissed me off. Sai, I want to show you the true power of the combination of machinery and magic. I have survived for more than a hundred years, and it's time for these powers to show off." Luo Nie said as he spoke.
After spitting some viscous dark liquid to one side, he struggled to get up and said.
Due to the violent impact of the "hairball" monster just now, more than half of the skin on his left arm burst. Although it did not cause much substantial damage, the silver-white mechanical parts and gears turned out of his arm made him feel the pain.
The heart-wrenching pain that belongs to human beings.
After stabilizing his body unsteadily, Luo Nie ignored the wounds and pain on his arms. After taking a few heavy steps forward, he murmured in the language of the Guzhne Empire:
"I pray for the blessing of the Lord of Machines."
"I am willing to dedicate myself to the future of machinery."
"Give me the ultimate mechanical light."
"Annihilation belongs to the existence of filth!"
Then, Luo Nian crossed his hands and hung them in front of his chest under the surge of the power of the grass and trees glowing with bright green light in his body.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Immediately afterwards, the green light emitted near his hands quickly formed straight lines, similar to the perfect lines formed by mathematical rulers and compasses.
Under the surge of blue light in Luo Nie's eyes, those lines actually formed a three-dimensional model structure diagram.
It looks like a smaller version of the Socra cannon produced by the Socra “Zooyuan” factory!
Less than three seconds later, after Luo Nie surged the magic power in his body to the extreme, the "Socra Cannon" actually emitted a bright light, almost as bright as summer day.
That belongs to Luo Nie!
That is mechanical!
That is the powerful power called "Mechanical Light"!
They are like a regular, but bright sword that seems to be able to purify all things. It emits a dazzling white light in the cylindrical regular area and penetrates straight through the monster's hard chest!
"Click, click, click, click."
When the light in Luo Nie's hand completely dissipated, the monster's body made a sound similar to the breaking of a glass object.
Immediately afterwards, the center of the "hairball" monster's body, covered with bone armor, emitted a rich, bright light.
Under the dim sky that was gradually filled with dark clouds due to condensation nuclei, it actually looked as dazzling as the arrival of an angel.
But immediately after, those lights began to slowly extend outwards, but the body of the six or seven-meter-tall "hair ball" monster quickly collapsed inward as if being torn apart by the light in the center.
In less than half a minute, the monster's bone armor, eight wriggling tentacles, covered with maggot-like fuzz, and its pair of gradually dimming scarlet eyes were gradually absorbed and disappeared.
Finally, a faint red light shone in the center of the light and disappeared.
"Huh, did I defeat him? Did I win...?" Luo Nie asked swayingly while holding on to the front of the dilapidated classic car that was unscathed and stained with burning fluid during the battle.
"Brother, you have won." Sai nodded his head with short golden hair and said:
"You made me see the power of machinery. Maybe what you told me in Socra was right. We should all look for God, the [Order] that sister Natasha said, and our own future.
.But brother, there seems to be something there."
Sai with sharp eyes seemed to have discovered a strange thing where the monster disappeared. He glanced at Luo Nie, who was breathing heavily and leaning on the old car to gradually recover, and then trotted forward quickly, with the remaining blood and
At the edge of the thick black viscous liquid, he stretched out his white right hand and picked up something that looked like a mask.
"Brother, look at this, it seems to be what the monster left behind." Sai trotted back to Luo Nie and handed the mask to him.
"Mask?" Luo Nie took it and looked at it carefully.
Although it was an item dropped from a huge monster, it looked particularly delicate in Luo Nie's hands.
It seemed to have been cut straight through the middle with a sharp object, leaving only the half that resembled the right side of a human face.
But from the size, it can be seen that the complete mask seems to be just right for a child like Say.
Moreover, it has a gray-green appearance made of military cloth, a double-headed eagle emblem carved with a metal sheet on the upper part, a round lens bulging outward at the eyes, and a half pipe that seems to be connected to an oxygen bottle at the mouth.
.
The combination of these sciences seems to demonstrate its usefulness in the eyes of Luo and Nie.
"What dropped from the monster? The style of the old Crusted Empire? Could it be that it summoned this 'artificial' monster?" Luo Nie held his chin and thought.
