McPenny survived

Although he was in a very miserable state, he did survive.

Whether it's an electromagnetic cannon that fires at the face at almost zero distance, or a bullet that kills instantly, normally they will deprive the victim of life right after they take effect. How could it be possible for the victim to be so energetic and howl like a ghost?

"Even the close-range bombardment and the death bullets can't kill it... Tsk! Can't you let me experience a crushing victory?"

Clearly having the initiative and intelligence advantage, he has not been able to win a single battle since his debut. This is truly embarrassing.

(Nanomon: Please turn on the microphone to communicate!)

After a while of self-mockery, Saki raised his eyelids, and spiritual power surged behind him. He jumped forward to avoid the rocks that were fired from his original position like cannonballs. His eyes were fixed on the bottom, and he saw several gray tentacles dancing like crazy snakes in the sea of ​​fire, constantly breaking up the broken walls, and rolling up huge rocks and throwing them in all directions. The power was not much weaker than the spear-type naval cannon used by the Narwhal. Even if Arus, who was the physique of the original Qinglong, was pressed down by him twice, he would probably break his bones.

The power of each tentacle was no less than that of the power-specialized blade like the sledgehammer that they had encountered before. Even the bricks and stones that could be found everywhere were like cannonballs in its hands, blasting in all directions from the highest point of Arcadia. Occasionally, a few of them would fall into the holy city below, knocking down a large area of ​​buildings.

McPenny didn't throw the balls randomly, although it looked like that, but actually he threw them in a very methodical way. Only the directions where the four amplification towers were located were not affected. It was obvious that he had deliberately avoided them. He threw the balls in other places as well.

"You can tell where to throw it..."

After casually dodging a few stones that accidentally hit his face, Saki frowned slightly, raised his hand and slapped the oncoming stones. The spiritual power gathered in his palm exploded forwards at the moment of contact. The two forces collided and smashed the stone, which was not as hard as imagined, into powder.

This really stirred up a hornet's nest. The tentacles stopped dancing and smashing wildly, and instead spread out like an octopus trying to get ashore, clinging to the broken wall and pulling out a man who almost fell all the way to the bottom of the holy city.

Its attitude, however, has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The original McPenny was a 1.9-meter-tall, well-proportioned Arcadian, but now?

It was estimated to be over three meters tall, with exaggerated gray-white armor wrapping its limbs. Its enlarged body had expanded horizontally several times under the armor, turning into a humanoid monster even larger than the original Blade Hammer. A large amount of Aetherstone was distributed on the armor on its body, and a crystal that was exactly the same as the Blade was shining in the center of its raised chest armor. Six limbs grew out from its back, and six long tentacles danced naturally behind it. The gray outer shell gradually peeled off, revealing the azure contents of the same color as the Aetherstone.

McPennie's Blade Eater form!

It looks like a Wei Tian power armor with six tentacles, but the weird appearance and other people's comments are not enough to affect its super-standard strength under this appearance. This is the final form of the blade data that McPenny has devoured for five hundred years!

He had hoped to hold back his current attitude until the moment when the entire Netherworld was destroyed in his plan, but he was unexpectedly forced out on this seemingly ordinary day, and... in such an embarrassing state!

He was not unscathed. The sun-like crown that was supposed to be on his head was mostly gone in the second explosion. The core crystal on his forehead from Xia's body was dim, and the flames on his body lasted for a long time. Many of the ether stones on his body inexplicably lost their luster and turned into gray-black stones with cracks of different sizes on the surface...

Anger filled the man's heart.

Just as described in the hymn composed for him, this man claimed to be the agent of God's will, commanding all the Blades and Arus on behalf of God, and punishing humans. This attitude was not ugly, but rather proof of being the chosen one.

However, he actually felt the threat of death and was ambushed by such a crude sneak attack and was in such an embarrassing situation.

This group of people deserve to die!

The head that still had some human resemblance was raised up, glaring at the figure in the air, with a look as if it wanted to eat the figure alive.

"It's you————huh?!"

The moment he saw his figure clearly, McPenny's ferocious face suddenly froze, and his eyes revealed a deep confusion and suspicion.

"No, you, what on earth are you?!"

Volume 620: Return to the Netherworld, the Day of Saving the World: Chapter Chapter It’s not a monster, it’s a teacher!

As of now, people in this world do not have the ability of "clairvoyance". Cannibals like Shin, Mitsu, and Hikari, and the Holy Grail of Heaven do not have the ability to capture spiritual power. The battle with Saki in the past was more about relying on some kind of intuition to avoid the dimensionality reduction attack of spiritual power.

These few beings standing at the top of the Blades are like this, so it is easy to imagine what the other Blades and humans will be like when facing spiritual power, an energy from another world. Saki has been wandering in the Holy City for so long, and it is all thanks to this spiritual power invisibility that has an overwhelming advantage over those who do not have the ability to target him.

Compared with the special cases mentioned above, McPenny's case is even more special.

As a sword-eating species that plundered the power of the Blades, as a master blade controller who is second only to the first person and above ten thousand people, and as a monster with a huge amount of Blade data, all three of these special qualities are unique, so McPenny is naturally different.

Although he didn't have such a thing as 'combat intuition', he was able to mitigate the effects of spiritual power to a certain extent, and was able to see through the invisibility caused by high concentrations of spiritual power, barely capturing Saki's figure.

A black shadow with only an outline, without any facial features or details, is commonly known as... Xiao Hei in the Death God Elementary School Student Studio next door.

McPenny didn't think his current posture was that weird. After all, this was the true form of the Chosen One, so naturally he had to be different from the others. However, the person above was most likely the culprit of this crude assassination... He looked even weirder than him, and even less like a human.

——Yes, McPenny regarded this strange appearance as the true appearance of the attacker, a faceless man with a pitch-black body!

Although it is weird, to be honest, McPenny is not panicking at all. It is well known that there are only three types of beings with top combat power in the Netherworld.

There are only three types: people who don't act like humans, blades that don't act like blades, and the Holy Grail of Heaven. Anything else doesn't even make the list.

For example, Melev, the strongest blade wielder in Spebia, can be beaten up by any random person from Ira. This is the difference.

Among these three groups, there are only two Holy Grails in the entire Netherworld, and only Arcadia has the ability to produce Blade Eaters. And now there are only two Blade Eaters alive in the world - one is him, MacPenny, and the other is Sieg. The refugees who were captured after breaking through the Ira refugee gathering place and used for Blade Eater experiments have long been dealt with without a single one left.

In other words, the opponent is either the possible third Holy Grail of Heaven, or the Cannibal... Unfortunately, his ability is only ineffective against the Blade Eaters - it is useful for the other two!

"The remnants of Ira... come down to me!"

Putting aside the unrealistic idea of ​​the 'possible existence of a third Holy Grail of Heaven', McPenny, who had determined that the other party was following him, glared, and the dull inverted triangle crystal on his forehead shone brightly, and a force field like a breeze spread out from his body, quickly enclosing 'Little Black' in the air.

That is Xia's interference force field, which has the ability to directly interfere with the flow of ether in the blades within the range. When combined with the authority of the main controller of the blade, it naturally becomes a terrifying ability to directly control the blades within the range.

However...

"As expected, her power is very close to Kasumi..."

Being included in the area, Saki raised his hand as if nothing had happened, feeling the ether breeze blowing on his face, with a relaxed look on his face, without any sign of discomfort.

He is not a cannibal or a Blade, just an ordinary teacher at Tenshin Elementary School. How could he be affected by this ability that targets the birth of Blades?

He lowered his head to look at the man whose expression gradually turned from disdain to dullness, and glanced at the dimming core crystal on his left wrist armor.

"Did you avoid the instant death judgment of the Death Bullet at the cost of losing data?"

The judgment of the death bullet is very special. In addition to resistance, whether the target is a whole will also affect its effect. As long as it is a whole and has no resistance, it can be taken away with one shot even if the target object is extremely large, and vice versa.

For example, if a larger robot is composed of five living robots, the death bullet will at most wipe out the part that is hit, but not wipe out all five robots at once, because they are not a "whole".

Although according to this logic, there are still a large number of symbiotic bacteria inside and outside the human body...but this bullet seems to have directly ignored this overly microscopic existence.

The same reason applies to McPenny. Having absorbed the data of other blades, he is no longer a pure whole. The evidence of the reincarnations of other blades in his body constitutes a hidden armor when facing the death bullets, replacing the instant death judgment. If you want to kill him, you may need to use more than thirty sets of death bullets... There is no other way.

The strongest attack barely broke through the defense, and the effect of the death bullet was greatly reduced. It only caused minor serious damage after a set of attacks. It seems that he can only do this much now.

'Next...'

Saki silently continued to use his spiritual power, ready to scrape off this tough bone even if it meant scraping it, but at this moment, a thought quietly flowed into his mind.

"Teacher, I forgot to ask you just now. If we kill him now, won't Xia...?"

After the Blade Master dies, the Blade will turn back into a Core Crystal and then be formatted...not to mention that it is impossible to determine whether the current Kasumi can turn back into a Core Crystal.

Saki: "...Shit!"

Totally forgot about this!

This McPenny can't be killed!

As this concerns his own student, Saki, who has already used up all his skills, has no intention of single-handedly defeating the boss in the enemy base. Under McPenny's stunned gaze, he calmly turned around, slowly accelerated and floated away.

slip away~

McPenny: “???”

No? Aren't you a Blade or a Sword Eater? Why didn't you fall?

"No, there is no etheric reaction on his body. This person——"

It's not a Blade, a Blade Eater, a Cannibal, or an Arus, and it's not the Holy Grail of Heaven! It's an unprecedented existence that has never appeared on this sea of ​​clouds! It will bring a brand new change to this sea of ​​clouds that has not changed for thousands of years!

After making this judgment in an instant, the emotion that arose in McPenny's heart was not enthusiasm or curiosity, but... fear.

A pair of pitch-black ghost hands that had expanded more than three or four times suddenly clenched, and the ten fingers directly dug into the few intact ground surfaces. The huge body that looked like an alien could not stop shaking.

The netherworld cannot change, it cannot change because of people other than him, especially! It cannot change in a positive sense.

'No! We have to take some action, otherwise...'

Looking at the figure that was accelerating, it only took a moment to create a white ring on the distant sea of ​​clouds, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. The figure took off the bloated armor and returned to its original thin human form. McPenny looked at the gathered Vatican soldiers below. Just as he was about to raise his hand to give instructions, his body swelled again at this moment, and his orange eyes looked in doubt at the direction where Saki was going.

What was that just now——? !

......

"That's great. There's no chance of a sneak attack."

Four thousand meters away on the sea of ​​clouds, Saki, who was holding an electromagnetic cannon and turned around to try to launch a counterattack, sighed and put down his weapon, called up the sea of ​​clouds compass to adjust his direction, and accelerated to fly away from this place of trouble.

Target, Liberaritas Islands.

......

On the day of Saki's night raid on Arcadia, a little earlier, in the gradually falling night, a group of people led by Jeanne and Chiron marched along the lower level of Spebbia and came to an abandoned factory built under the cliff...

Volume 621: Return to the Netherworld, the Day of Saving the World: Chapter : Chapter : Can’t you just put on your clothes properly, Nia? !

They did not rest up in the capital of Spebbia as in the original novel and then launch a series of investigations. From the very beginning, Saki's goal was to launch a blitzkrieg.

They solved the problem in a few seconds, and then went to the next stop. They had the script, a heroic spirit like Jeanne who had the ability to predict the future, and the support of Mellef, who was second to none in the empire and could even be on equal footing with the emperor to some extent. It would be unreasonable to investigate and infiltrate slowly like in the original book.

What's more, Xia was released by Red Enma to get some fresh air. Considering the connection between the Blades and the Blade Masters, that MacPenny was probably flying straight to Spebbia. It was reasonable for them to deal with things here as soon as possible and rush to the next stop.

——At this moment, Saki is still taking Nia to Invidiare to see the cherry blossoms, and discussing the philosophy of life...Blade Life.

For this purpose, they took a short rest in a famous hot spring hotel in the imperial capital. After Meleve went to the palace to report and explained the current situation clearly, and obtained the approval of the emperor who was nominally her brother, they reunited with the group of Tenshin Elementary School who had learned from the gossip of people around them that there was a "Blade that looked like Hana causing trouble every night". The students who originally regarded the current task as a "teacher's task" also became interested.

A Blade that looks like a flower... isn't that a man-made Blade? Is there another man-made Blade in this world?

You know, even knowledgeable people like Melev and Sieg couldn't help but praise the technology of Hua. The technology called ether furnace is not uncommon in the Netherworld, but most of them use a specific method to introduce high concentration of ether to make it work. This kind of technology that can absorb ether in the atmosphere and operate on its own like the Blades and Arus is the first example. It is no exaggeration to say that it has opened a new chapter in the history of the Blades in the Netherworld.

——It could also be the beginning of the destruction of the underworld.

Originally, Melve didn't take the information about the special blade coming from the country seriously. It was not until she came into contact with Hua and Hu that she realized it and her scalp went numb for a moment.

Such technology, it would be fine if a child like Hu, who relied on the obsession of three generations of his family to become a blade master, mastered this technology, at least the others could keep an eye on him, but such technology now appeared in the hands of a third party they knew nothing about, and was gradually showing malicious intent. How could she not care? How could she not feel disappointed.

There are a group of people in Arcadia who keep saying that Blades are the root of war, but that is not true. The main force of war is still Arus, and the Ether Cannons mounted on large and small Arus are the main force of battle in the world today. Blades and Blade Masters are at best a kind of high-end elite soldiers.

Of course, considering that Arus was transformed from a Blade, this is not wrong in a way... However, this was before the artificial Blades appeared.

Taking the current flower as a reference, the cost is low (three generations of civilians + excellent salvage workers who can't save much money every year can afford it), the strength is stronger than most black uncles, and it can fly. There is no restriction on the use of blades. Everyone can become a blade, and it can also be used alone... What is this equivalent to? It is equivalent to that during the First World War, one side suddenly mastered the technology to mass-produce the beggar version of the Terminator with wings, and they fought chickens.

This is a technology that can rewrite the existing pattern of the Netherworld, and it is also a technology that must not appear at this time. There is no other reason. Even if mastering this technology can really unify the Netherworld, the current Netherworld cannot afford a new wave of arms race - even if the two countries have not given up the arms race, the excavation of the lost ancient kingdom of Arus in Tanpelantia is in full swing. Obviously, both sides are extremely short of resources, but they continue to add bricks and tiles to their military strength under the potential threat of the other side. What if they add another artificial blade?

This is not a question of whether or not to do so. Once this technology leaks out, mutual suspicion and vigilance will drag down Arus, which is already in its final stages.

...but,

If, as someone said, it becomes a 'paradise' where resources are endless for the current underworld... then this technology will surely have a completely new use, right?

Mellove suppressed these thoughts for the moment and scanned the surrounding environment, her eyes finally falling on the wall above, on the large exhaust fan that was slowly turning - more precisely, on the ventilation duct behind the exhaust fan.

"It looks like that's the entrance."

"If there is no hidden passage, then that is the only way."

After adding this sentence, Sieg turned his head and looked at the figures crowded in the abandoned factory, his eyebrows slightly raised.

“So many people... going in together?”

"Yeah~"

"Of course!"

"It looks very interesting... Is this okay, Mr. Hong, Mr. Chiron, and Mr. Irena?"

"Although I don't really want to agree..."

Red Yama turned his head and looked at Chiron. After a brief thought, the Centaur sage smiled and said:

"Okay, but you have to follow my orders. First, we have to sneak in quietly. In order to prevent missing some information, we cannot use soundproofing techniques during this process. We have to act quietly."

Just as Rollermon was about to respond, Taichi hugged him and leaned over to his ribbon-shaped ear to remind him:

"Quiet! Remember to be quiet! Rollermon!"

Sora: "Taichi! Your voice is too loud!!"

Others: "Empty!!!"

"Well--"

Sieg: "......"

Seriously, aren't you really here for a picnic?

"But the situation and layout inside is still unknown, just in case..."
