Man on the ark, forced to become king

"That won't work."

Fiameta turned his head, his expression revealing a hint of excitement.

“Since you ran to Longmen, I haven’t really made a move in a long time. This is a good opportunity to get moving and see what’s so special about him that makes you care so much.”

"..."

Watching her figure disappear at the top of the stairs, Mostima sighed almost imperceptibly, picked up her staff, and followed after her.

This is the first time in so many years since that incident that she feels at a loss for what to do. What was originally an unspoken understanding has suddenly turned into an unexpected situation, with Lin Lu barging in and making things go in an unclear direction.

In such a twisted world, people like Lin Lu are even rarer than Lateran people who don't eat snacks. She just hopes that the two of them can stop themselves.

Chapter Thirty-Nine: Intense Battle! Destroying the Phoenix! (Revised)

Although Fiameta's appearance was far from what was imagined, appearances can be deceiving, especially in this world.

The physical abilities of Super Terrans far exceed expectations. Even Chen was able to jump from the sixth floor unharmed. Fiameta, with so many codenames, should not be weak. Just look at the giant weapon case on her back. Putting everything else aside, her physical strength must be astonishing.

Lin Lu stopped outside the town, stroking her chin as she pondered a solution.

After all, the other party is Mostima's comrade, so he can't just go all out like he did with Dasmi. It's hard to gauge the right balance. Who knows, the other party might be even stronger than he is now?

That's not impossible. How could someone who can walk freely on this perilous land be weak?

Moreover, she was using Lateran firearms, which are known for their immense power, so their destructive force was certainly guaranteed.

After much deliberation, Lin Lu decided not to make the first move and to observe the situation first. His attack power might not be that strong right now, but if he used that magic... his defense wouldn't be a problem.

"You still have a chance to back out."

Boom!

The heavy object landed, and Fiameta's voice sounded from behind. Lin Lu turned around, her pupils suddenly contracting.

The huge silver-white metal weapon box had been opened, revealing the weapon inside—a large firearm that was hard to tell whether it was a gun or a cannon. Judging from its appearance and the oversized ammunition placed next to it, it was more likely to be a cannon.

Is this really what you call a Super Terran? A single person can use this type of weapon? An ordinary person probably couldn't even withstand the recoil.

It's hard to imagine how the girl's seemingly slender shoulders and arms could withstand that level of impact; perhaps this is the nature of Super Terran...

"Don't worry, I'll try not to use this. This level of weapon is not suitable for short-range use."

Perhaps noticing Lin Lu's gaze, Fiameta casually explained, picked through the box and pulled out a few things that looked like some kind of explosive, hanging them on her waist, and then closed the weapon box.

"...Then, you go first."

Seeing that she didn't intend to use the weapon, Lin Lu breathed a sigh of relief.

If he were to use that... with his current strength, he really wouldn't be able to hold back; he'd have to go all out.

"Let me make the first move? Then I won't hold back."

Fiamet raised her pistol expressionlessly. Just as Lin Lu thought she was about to fire, only a blurry afterimage remained in place, followed by a gunshot from the side and behind.

A feint! No sportsmanship whatsoever!

Fortunately, Lin Lu was prepared. Blue light burst forth from the tip of her staff, and a surge of azure magic power suddenly spread outwards!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Five shots rang out in quick succession. Fiameta displayed extraordinary mobility, her speed even surpassing that of some melee-specialized warriors!

Five bullets were fired from different angles, struck the overflowing magical energy fluctuations, and were then deflected.

Lin Lu swept her staff horizontally, unleashing three crescent-shaped blue magical blades!

Pyroxene arc!

To deal with such a highly mobile opponent, one must use wide-range magic or suppress it with even faster speed and reaction time. Lin Lu is very experienced in this.

"This type of attack is ineffective against me!"

The arc slashed through the afterimage, and a high-speed rotating vortex of magic power ignited at the bottom of the staff, piercing the ground hard. Dense patterns extended in all directions along the point of impact, and then exploded with a bang!

A burst of azure light erupted, directly blasting away the approaching black and red shadow.

"Really? Then try this?"

Fiameta nimbly spun in the air, somersaulted and landed, and raised his hand to throw three grenades. Unlike bullets, these grenades exploded in mid-air, bursting into a large area of ​​fire that swept across the land.

"It's useless, it's useless, it's useless!"

Lin Lu waved her staff with a calm expression. The flames that rained down from mid-air were deflected by the overflowing magic power as soon as they touched her, creating a vacuum that had no effect whatsoever.

"What kind of magic is that?"

When neither grenades nor bullets worked, Fiameta simply stopped firing, looking quite surprised.

Over the years, she has fought against many sorcerers, but none of them have been able to deflect all her attacks; at most, they can only withstand them with a magical shield.

"Tops Position"

Upon hearing the name of the spell, Lin Lu's expression immediately became serious, and she earnestly explained, "The spell that my magic teacher, Topps, researched at the risk of his life is powerful enough to bend the ultimate barrier of a god's will. An attack of this magnitude cannot break through its defenses."

"Really? Then the attack power isn't strong enough."

Fiameta twirled the gun in his hand, ejecting the original magazine and replacing it with a new one.

"Now, I'm going to get serious."

As soon as he finished speaking, a roar of fire erupted, and the crimson bullets stretched out in the air, creating dazzling streaks of light as they struck the magical fluctuations formed by the Tops Field. The scorching heat rushed through the field's defenses.

This attack is completely different in power from the previous ones!

Lin Lu felt a chill run down her spine and dared not be careless. She increased the output of the Tops Field again to ensure that it remained stable and effective.

At the same time, a deep blue vortex silently emerged from behind Fiameta, from which dark streams of light shot out!

"mean!"

The surprise attack by the magic stone was silent and only discovered when it was close behind. Fiamma reacted and dodged to the side, but it was too late. The deep blue magic grazed her shoulder, tearing her coat and revealing her fair shoulder with slightly reddened skin.

Fiameta was genuinely angry now. Putting aside the fact that she didn't have a second set of clothes with her, this kind of magic that attacked from behind was too insidious! Fortunately, the spell's power was only average, otherwise she would have been completely humiliated and looked down upon.

The remaining bullets in the pistol were fired all at once, making the surrounding air feel hot. Taking advantage of the air while Lin Lu was blocking the bullets, Fiame kicked the weapon box on the ground, grabbed the large gun inside, and slung it over her shoulder.

Click!

Large ammunition, as thick as a wrist, was pressed into it, and a visible red light emanated from the gun, like outstretched wings.

"You said you didn't need it!"

Faced with such a powerful attack, Lin Lu could no longer remain calm. The bullets fired from those cannons might not be able to be stopped by the Tops Field alone, since the thing looked like it had a lot of kinetic energy, and the Tops Field was not an absolute defense in terms of physics.

What if you can't stop it? Then detonate it halfway through!

With her staff held upright in front of her, Lin Lu crossed her legs and assumed a bow-drawing posture. Centered on the staff, a large, azure bow, as tall as a person, materialized, and magic arrows as thick as an arm shone brightly.

One price increase! Another price increase!

The magic bow and arrow spread out in two circles within the glow, so dazzling that it was almost impossible to look directly at them, standing in stark contrast to Fiameta's red-glowing gun!

Chapter Forty: The Story of Waste Rock Tops

On the desolate landscape, the space seemed to be divided into two distinct colors, red and blue, and the surging winds flattened the wild grass on the ground.

Time slowly turned, the light grew increasingly dazzling, and in a certain instant, arrows and guns fired simultaneously!

In an instant, it was as if a shooting star had flashed, and beams of red and blue light tore through the air and collided in mid-air!

boom!

A deafening explosion suddenly erupted, dust billowed, and a shockwave like a hurricane plowed across the ground, hurling up large amounts of dirt and debris.

In the dim light, the red glow of the bullets fired by Fiameta danced and formed a crimson divine bird pattern.

With a quick glance, Lin Lu took in the struggle between the divine bird and the arrow, and seemed to understand a little why she was called the Phoenix of Destruction.

Such a powerful attack truly deserves the word 'destructive'. If it landed in an urban area, the explosion caused by that bullet might be able to shatter a villa. If it could fire in succession, she alone would have the ability to destroy a small area.

A violent storm surged towards them, carrying powerful energy fluctuations, but was deflected by the Tops Field.

As the dust settled, Lin Lu looked up and was immediately horrified.

The Fiammetta across the way looked as if it were covered in a layer of dust, all dirty. A gun longer than an arm was resting on its shoulder, pointed right in their direction, as if it was about to fire another shot.

Forget it! What grudge do we have? If this happens again, the ground will be torn up!

Her mass-produced bullets can be fired however she wants, but his magic requires a lot of effort!

Fortunately, Fiameta hasn't lost his temper yet; he's just putting on a show and doesn't intend to take any further action.

“You have successfully convinced me that, according to Mostima, we will accompany you for a period of time until your mission is completed.”

As she put the gun back into the weapon case, a strange look flashed in Fiameta's crimson eyes. She seemed to understand a little why Mostima insisted on following this man.

That kind of magic... doesn't seem to be mainstream Originium Arts, but something more ancient and mysterious.

Moreover, this man is far more than he appears on the surface. He is definitely a combat master who has experienced countless battles. His skills, intuition, and combat prowess are all top-notch, and these are the most difficult things to cultivate.

How can one master something without the tempering of countless battles and the thrill of brushing shoulders with death countless times?

In this world, only skills honed through countless trials can truly deceive; they are etched into one's very bones and even soul, and cannot be concealed.
