EVA: Shinji Ikari Returns from the Dragon Clan

Chapter 94 92. The hero Shinji Ikari who always comes to the rescue appears

Just when Shinji Ikari thought that the plan to capture the Angel would go smoothly, a noisy sound suddenly came from the communication channel, accompanied by the screams of several people, as if something unexpected had happened.

"High energy reaction!"

"Oh no, the Apostles are starting to hatch."

"Change the battle plan. Give priority to destroying the apostles. Unit 2 will continue to ascend."

Something happened.

It seems that every time he fights the Angels, something unexpected happens. It is no longer surprising. Ikari Shinji thinks that fighting the Angels is just like fighting Godzilla invading the city in New York, USA. Every time the protagonist, who is a marine, thinks that everything is going well, something bad always happens inexplicably.

——He actually gets to be treated like the leading actor in this kind of movie.

Shinji Ikari looked at the crater below, where dark red magma was churning.

I can't see what's going on underneath at all.

What should his Unit-01 do now?
Ikari Shinji hesitated, because there was no order to Unit-01 on the communication channel, and everyone was concentrating on Unit-02 in the magma. In another world, as an intern in the executive department, Ikari Shinji had already developed the habit of following orders, and fighting on his own was not his style, so he had to take the initiative to ask:
"Do you need support?"

"As for Shinji-kun, it depends on the situation."

Despite being very busy, the command room still answered him.

This means it depends on the situation. After all, Unit-01 did not wear heat-resistant protective clothing. In the original battle plan, he was just a support position, just waiting on the ground.

——Then now is the time to need support.

Ikari Shinji thought.

The next moment, Unit-01 opened its AT force field and jumped into the boiling magma without hesitation. If Asuka saw this, she would definitely laugh at his lack of elegance in entering the water.

A thin film appeared on the purple-green body, preventing anything from approaching.

Magma, heat.

I didn't experience the feeling of soaking in a hot spring as Asuka described.

Even after many battles, Shinji Ikari still doesn't know the full picture of the so-called AT force field. Even Dr. Ritsuko Akagi doesn't quite understand its operating principle.

The vision in the magma was blurry and it was impossible to tell the direction.

Shinji Ikari could only follow the steel rope lowered by the crane and dive down quickly. It was extremely energy-consuming to keep the AT force field open, and he didn't dare to bet whether Unit-01 could withstand the heat of the magma after closing it.

There was darkness in front of him.

It's really scary in the magma.

A normal person would feel scared within a few minutes of staying in such an environment.

But Asuka could actually endure it.

It seems that he really underestimated that beautiful girl.

At this time, the voices in the communication channel were getting more and more anxious, urging Unit 2 to surface. Obviously, the sudden hatching of the Angel had caused a lot of trouble, and the danger level was rapidly increasing. Asuka's situation under the magma was definitely not good.

According to the command room, if she was still there, she would be at risk of death at any time.

The diving speed needs to be faster.
The beautiful girl is now at a lava depth of 1700, waiting for him to come to support her. Before that, the two of them had kissed in the middle of the night and walked hand in hand in the amusement park, just like a real couple.

Please don't die, my friend, Ikari Shinji thought.

Unit 01 continued to dive.

After reaching a certain depth, the vision gradually becomes clearer.

He had already sensed the subtle movement below.

That should be Unit 2.

And here is the fiery red body.

Encountering the unexpected situation of hatching an Angel, Asuka thought she could complete the mission successfully but was hit hard. This beautiful girl still remained calm and prepared for the battle calmly.

She stared at the flowing magma around her.

Isn't it the apostles?

Look, I can destroy it all by myself.

Asuka was so excited that she wanted to fight the enemy right there. Even at the extreme depth, it couldn't stop her desire to fight. But she hesitated when she remembered what Ikari Shinji said. In the end, she chose to float up and wait until she was at a safe distance before fighting. Hmm!
Shinji's words.

It's still listenable.

The apostle that hatched over there escaped the coffin that trapped it.

The body, which was only 20 meters long, was rapidly expanding and growing, absorbing the heat from the surrounding magma. However, it was not a vampire that was fished out from the deep sea in the comic book Stand User. It could not digest the energy of magma as easily as vampires could eat humans. So it expanded for only a few seconds before it quickly shrank.

Asuka immediately released the capture device and let it fall deep into the magma.

After the apostle suddenly hatched, this device could no longer trap the opponent, and keeping it on his body would only increase the burden. And fighting with the apostle who was adapted to the magma environment here was really a disadvantage.

The best way is to lure it up and defeat it together with Unit-01.

Cooperation...

If it were Shinji... For the sake of the person she loves, Asuka would even change her usual aggressive fighting style.

But the apostle that was suddenly hatched after its growth was interrupted will not let her go.

The next moment it opened its mouth and started to bite.

The crane kept pulling Unit-02 upwards, and the taut steel rope made a sound of being unable to bear the heavy load. The battle was about to break out, and there was no time to wait for Unit-01 on the ground to attack together.

Asuka subconsciously pulled out the particle knife.

Plainly.

The tip of the knife stabbed towards the eighth apostle.

But this weapon is not so easy to use in the magma. The headquarters of the makeshift team did not prepare any special weapons that can be used in the magma. Although she fought hard and caused a lot of injuries, none of them were to the extent of breaking the apostle's bones.

The opposite of.

The apostle hugged Unit-02's body and bit its head fiercely with its white, fine teeth.

This is a fighting method that almost results in mutual destruction.

Unit 2 was fixed in place by steel ropes, unable to move freely, and could only passively withstand the attack. After fighting back and forth for several times, the apostle seemed to be fine, but Unit 2's special protective suit was about to be bitten through, and the steel rope of the crane above was about to break.

The two sides were deadlocked.

If this continues, it won't be good.

Asuka was looking for the conditions for victory, but she only had a particle knife in her hand that was of little use, and there was only hot magma around her...

After thinking for a long time, her eyes lit up.

Figured out a way!
Apostles and such, isn't that simple?

Ten seconds later, the Eighth Angel that had bitten Unit-2's head stopped moving, and it was unknown whether it was dead or alive. But before Asuka could see the results of her battle, she found herself falling rapidly.

...The steel rope of the crane above has broken.

Blessings and misfortunes depend on it.

That's right, Asuka thought bitterly. After all, they have been fighting for so long, and it is normal for the steel ropes above to be affected by a little fighting turmoil. Now Unit 2 is like a person whose safety rope breaks while bungee jumping. It is falling madly into the bottomless abyss and its death is inevitable.

If this happens, Unit 2 will soon be washed away to an unknown place by the convection in the magma.

By then, even with laser positioning, rescue would be impossible.

Abyss, I will never see Shinji again...

In fact, I really like his smile. Of course, it would be better if he only smiled at me. The pretty girl subconsciously shouted in her heart,
"Shinji..."

That's the hero who always comes to the rescue.

But it would be too embarrassing to call him in the communication channel. We had agreed not to treat him as a substitute for mom and dad, Asuka thought. And even if she called him, it was so deep that Unit-01 would not be able to arrive immediately. It was better to make a dignified exit.

Is that all?

She still felt a little regretful that the lunch boxes were not delivered.

But at this critical moment, a huge mechanical arm came from above, like the hand of God that created the world, and grabbed the falling Unit 2.
