Does the mechanical girl dream of the Messiah?

It was obvious that the opponent had no intention of hiding or escaping, but stood there confidently. Even the action of changing bullets seemed so unhurried, and he didn't care about missing the opportunity to attack.

That is a reflection of confidence in one's own abilities.

If we talk about Lunicia's first impression of her, it is indeed "pure" - there are only four colors on her body, white, black, and the dangerous green eyes. The white short hair looks capable and simple, and the thin ponytail hanging behind her head is like a scorpion's tail needle, with a dangerous charm. In addition to a short jacket, the highly exposed tights show her thighs and upper chest as if she is very confident about her figure, plus the thin garter stockings, it is easy to have an illusion at first glance that she is more suitable for appearing on the catwalk than on the battlefield.

The rest of the things will help to dispel this illusion.

For example, the magazine rack hangs on the hip like a swallowtail or a skirt, and looks exaggerated like a shield.

For example, the things she held in her hands, two guns that looked extremely exaggerated, more like hand cannons than pistols.

There is no doubt that the shooting just now came from that.

"What an outrageous costume, and weapon."

Lunicia pretended to be calm and adjusted her body. She held the sword with both hands, making herself ready to go, and tried to control the rhythm of the scene by chatting.

"Only elite hunters like me are capable of using this kind of weapon." The white-haired humanoid had a smile on his face, which was different from the smiles Lunicia had seen before. That smile was full of bloodthirstiness. "For those mass-produced 'Iron Rain', it is still a bit difficult to use this. Among the mass-produced ones, probably only the power of the 'White Eagle' can be compared with it. Otherwise, you would have been shattered into pieces just now, right?"

"Thank you very much...Iron Leviathan."

"Oh, you know that." The other person's footsteps were light and agile. Even if Lunicia tried her best to catch them, she would always miss a few steps. This made her secretly groan in her heart, "In this case, I don't have to bother introducing myself."

"But you haven't introduced yourself yet, have you?"

As Lunicia spoke, she gripped the hilt of her sword tightly and tensed the muscles in her legs.

"Indeed." Even though she saw Lunicia's little move, she still seemed to be neither hurried nor slow. She walked while loading the magazine into the hand cannon. "Steel Leviathan, product number 'Elite Specialized Type 071', you can also call me 'Hunter'."

"..."

——Hunter, huh?

"My personal hobby is... using my skills to chase and subdue powerful enemies. Just like now."

Before she finished her words, the hunter still raised her arms, her left hand and right hand overlapped, the black muzzle of the gun pointed directly at Lunicia's forehead.

"Target confirmed, hunting begins... Don't let me down, okay?"

Chapter 26: Iron Wave (Part 4)

Combat dolls - as the name suggests, are something that was built for combat from the beginning. It is difficult to make a doll that can compete with Lunesia or even higher-level characters. Even if it is technically possible, the investment in materials is not cheap to make a human-sized doll have such combat power.

In the end, in order to ensure the needs of mass production, except for a few elite dolls, most of the combat dolls used hot weapons such as ordinary firearms as their main weapons. Although it seemed a stretch for Lunicea's level, it was more than enough to suppress ordinary soldiers, and it saved the trouble of firearms training. Through auxiliary equipment, it could also exert combat power stronger than ordinary people. Overall, it was still a very popular product.

It is said that the earliest battle dolls had no resemblance to humans except for their outlines. Later, since the main customers tended to be security contractors (PMCs) who thrived in this chaotic era, the battle dolls also had a variety of beautiful appearances considering the needs of the customers.

Among so many mechanical workshops that operate combat puppets, the most famous ones are Chrysalis Company and Steel Leviathan. Compared with the puppets themselves, Steel Leviathan pays more attention to the research and development of the weapons in their hands, replacing them with more deadly, efficient and horrifying killing items.

What Lunicia has to face now are the unknown killing vanguards produced by the Iron Leviathan after it lost all contact.

The "Hunter" model is undoubtedly the elite among them.

The kind that is difficult to mass produce.

……

Lunicia was the first to move.

Her feet swayed slightly, and then she pushed the ground with all her strength. The huge impact from her legs directly collapsed the roof under Lunicia's feet. In the smoke and dust, her figure rushed towards the hunter like a cannonball.

The hunter snorted softly. It seemed that Lunicia's performance did not seem to please her.

"too slow."

Even though Lunicia's speed was almost at its limit, the hunter's gun was still firmly locked on her figure. Just as Lunicia was about to rush into the attack range of the giant sword, the hunter tightened his arms and pulled the trigger.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!

A series of gunshots that were no less powerful than those from the sniper rifle in White Eagle's hand erupted from the muzzle, and magic bullets rained down on Lunicia. All of them possessed speed and penetration that was only slightly inferior to White Eagle's. Unlike Iron Rain's lukewarm shooting, at this distance, Lunicia could be said to be unable to dodge at all. As long as she was hit head-on by a bullet, the huge wound would directly declare the hunter's victory. There was almost no second possibility.

——Is this the end?

The hunter raised his eyebrows and thought with disappointment while quickly changing the magazine.

Rushing straight at you and then being shot into a sieve by a rain of bullets is a fairly normal outcome for a prey, but it's really too boring.

Then, Lunicea's figure cut through the mist of smoke and dust.

She had already appeared in a position that was absolutely impossible for her to appear at the angle she had just rushed. She held the sword in both hands, and used the iron block that was larger than her body to swing down at the hunter with all her strength!

Normally, Lunicia would not have been able to dodge the series of powerful barrages in the sprint just now, but she did not limit herself to a simple and straightforward sprint from the very beginning.

She generously used the footwork that she had only experienced in teaching. Through a special way of landing, Lunicia made her body complete the turn during the sprint. Her feet turned ninety degrees almost in an instant, which allowed her to completely avoid the barrage of bullets and let them fly to the distant end of the sky.

The hunter dodged the first sword by turning sideways. Her eyes became serious again. She clasped her hands together again, and pointed the black muzzle of the gun directly at Lunicia's forehead. The latter did not give her any chance to shoot a second time.

After the first strike tore off one third of the roof, Lunicia's momentum did not diminish. Instead, she began to use the strength of her waist, tightly gripping the hilt of the sword, spinning her body on the spot, and pulling the huge sword in her hand to swing out another all-out spinning strike!

She didn't think she could win with one strike from the beginning!

In the first strike, half of the bricks and stones on the roof were almost lifted up and floated into the air, but Lunicia's second strike cut them off together. The heavy rain of rubble turned into shotgun shells, almost clearing away the remaining iron rain and infiltrators on the entire roof, leaving only two dancers, Lunicia and the Hunter.

Still missed!

The hunter's body flexibility exceeded Lunicia's expectations. She was looking at her with ease and contempt, and with an elegant and nimble bend of the waist, she easily dodged the blow that should have cut her in half. She pressed her waist and abdomen against the giant sword with a smile on her face, as if caressing a dance partner, and pointed the muzzle of the gun at Lunicia's head again.

Jump up, or lie down, or bend down like her?

None of these will work!

No matter which one you choose, the opponent will have enough energy to shoot you a few more times.

Lunicia gritted her teeth and exerted force on her wrist, allowing the giant sword to stab straight into the empty space in front of her. Using inertia, Lunicia's body also leaped into the air diagonally upwards. At the same time, her arm muscles tensed up, forcibly twisting the trajectory of the giant sword and sweeping it vertically towards the hunter.

Since dodging is not a good idea, use attack to block the opponent's attack!

Lunicia knew very well that in this battle, neither she nor the hunter had the ability to take on the opponent's attacks head-on, and now it seemed that she was undoubtedly doing better in "blocking attacks with attacks."

As expected, the hunter had no intention of blocking the sword. She gave up the chance to shoot almost immediately and flipped lightly to the back.

If possible, she would definitely be happy to use a block in exchange for the opportunity of a fatal blow. However, she searched her whole body and could not find a way to block even any of Lunicia's attacks - almost every sword attack was a full-strength attack, and the monster was tireless and like an armored vehicle. Even if the opponent did not use full strength to chop, but just an ordinary sword, her delicate mechanical body and the double guns in her hands would definitely not be able to block it.

As for exchanging injuries for lives?

That was something the hunters never considered.

What hunter would consider exchanging injuries for the life of his prey?

After quickly flipping back to a safe range, the hunter aimed her gun again without hesitation. In her eyes, Lunicia was swinging her sword with all her strength once again with an unstoppable posture!

As the hunter retreated, Lunicia was pressing forward step by step - both sides had a common understanding that the opponent must not be allowed to leave their attack range, but Lunicia took it more seriously. After all, she only had a sword in her hand, while the opponent had a gun that spewed magic bullets.

One sword, another sword, and another sword!

It swung faster and faster, and got closer and closer to his eyes. At the beginning, he could easily dodge it, but was then pulled back into dodging by the subsequent attack. Later, the hunter had to put all his energy into dodging, in order to completely avoid the sword that swept towards him.

From testing, to gradual understanding, and finally climbing together on the spiral of skill, speed, and strength, they gradually move step by step towards the height that everyone is looking forward to. If there are others watching their fight now, they will probably think of it more as a dance with extreme rhythm and passion than a fight between them.

Only the two dancing partners don't think so.

One who didn't care about the significance of this battle at all, he just wanted to quickly get rid of the enemy in front of him, figure out what was going on, and go to the next place with his travel companions.

The other is intoxicated with the joy of hunting. No matter how the prey threatens her, she only regards it as part of the fun. She uses all the skills and wisdom in her mind to grab the delicious prey in her hands, break her spine, smash her limbs, and make her another name on her list of trophies.

There is no doubt that everyone desires an end to the battle from the bottom of their hearts - of course, not in a peaceful way.

——The final blow!

The more she swung the sword, the more she became more motivated to fight. When Lunicia realized that her will to fight had reached its peak, the feeling of her grip on the sword also reached the most appropriate point in this battle.

Grasping this feeling and following this feeling, she swung forward with what she believed to be a winning sword!

——Took the bait.

Even a lion uses all its strength to fight a rabbit. So when faced with the most powerful prey he has ever seen in his career as a hunter, how could he not use 120% of his mental computing power?

The hunter had been waiting for this moment since Lunicia swung the first sword at him!

With a light leap, she dodged the oncoming sword at the critical moment. The room she had to move was so small that the sword almost brushed her chest. However, she finally dodged the sword.

The giant sword, swung with all its strength, almost smashed the floor through and was now deeply embedded in the bricks and stones. The hunter smiled happily and stepped lightly on the blade. Her high heels collided with the blade, making a pleasant crisp sound.

She raised one hand and pointed the gun at Lunicia's forehead, as if announcing the end of the hunt.

Chapter 27: Iron Wave (Part 5)

——It’s finished.

This was almost the first thought that flashed through Lunicia's mind.

The weapon in her hand still had some power left, so it was impossible for her to turn it over immediately to interrupt the hunter's movements. Moreover, the opponent was now standing on the blade. Even if his weight alone was not an obstacle to Lunicia, she was constantly exerting force on her feet. The seemingly light metal high heels were as heavy as rocks, which made Lunicia secretly groan.

She could almost see the Hunter pulling the trigger.

It is almost impossible to dodge the hunter's magic bullets at this distance, and there is no doubt that as long as Lunicia is hit head-on, she will immediately lose her combat effectiveness even if she does not die.

So, what to do?

The time left for Lunicia to think was just a fraction of a second. Indeed, the hunter liked to play with her prey and enjoyed forcing her prey into a desperate situation, but she definitely didn't like the feeling of turning over at the last minute, and she certainly wouldn't suddenly jump off the giant sword and let Lunicia start the next round.

When she pulled the trigger, it would be over.

In the narrow space of one thousandth of a breath, Lunicia already had a way to deal with it in her mind.

——Snap, snap, snap.

At the moment when the hunter raised the gun, the three translucent shield emblems surrounding Lunicia's body broke apart one by one, dispersing into pure energy and falling into the air. This made the hunter feel confused. She was not unfamiliar with the phenomenon in front of her. There was no doubt that this was a manifestation of the spell's ineffectiveness caused by the removal of the spell's concentration.

The "special surveillance target" in front of him is by no means the type to give up on himself. It is impossible for him to voluntarily give up the last bit of resistance just because he finds that there is no possibility of turning the situation around.

This made the hunter feel a little uneasy, but even so, she had no idea what Lunicia would do.

In her opinion, this was a situation where she was doomed to fail, and there was no chance of victory for her as a "special surveillance subject".

--boom!

Just as her mind flashed a moment of hesitation, a huge roar rushed out from under her feet, and shining silver snakes crawled and spread under her feet. They all symbolized the same thing, symbolizing the holy thunder that belonged only to the sky!

Everything was done almost instantly, accompanied by roars and thunder, and the huge impact force acted in both the upper and lower directions at the same time. The downward shock wave was extremely penetrating and almost visible to the naked eye, and continued to spread, eventually destroying all the objects in the house within the range of nearly three floors, and shattering the floor of the house into collapsed rubble. This force not only acted downward, but also brought an upward recoil force, which was so huge that it directly threw the hunter's body into the air.

It’s “Thunder Slash”!

The hunter immediately understood that the "special surveillance target" in front of him gave up the spell concentration used to maintain the "Pious Shield" and instead used the spell concentration to release the "Thunder Slash"!

The attack she just made still had some power left, so that attack was still in the "still in progress" state. When she released the "Thunder Slash" at this time, its target was not someone else, not the hunter, but the floor in front of Lunicia. When hit by a weapon with the "Thunder Slash" effect, the target would be subjected to electric current and huge impact force, and this huge impact force went directly to the building itself.

The final result was that the hunter's body was directly blown away by the recoil force.

Lunicia did not intend to give up this rare opportunity. She held the blade horizontally with one hand and grasped the hilt with the other hand. In the third breath, she slashed towards the hunter in mid-air!

She did not intend to wait slowly for the opponent to fly out of the reach of the giant sword. For such a dangerous enemy, she planned to cut it in two as quickly as possible - and the hunter herself had already gotten rid of the adverse effects of the recoil. Her body flipped in the air inexplicably, and then she kicked heavily on the sword of Lunicia, and adjusted her body shape with the help of Lunicia's sword.

She did not retreat away, but instead distanced herself from him again, and then suppressed Lunicia with firepower.

She had already understood from the previous confrontation that for someone like Lunicia who had strong offensive capabilities, the distance between the two sides might not be a big problem, even though she was holding an exaggerated giant sword that was theoretically a melee weapon.

Standing on the giant sword is obviously not conducive to balance. The hunter is unwilling to take the risk. She kicked the sword and then landed steadily on the ground. Then she did something that Lunicia never expected.

The black and white hunter rushed straight towards her!

She tried to swing her sword to stop the hunter, but the hunter was one step faster than she expected. Just as she swung her sword, the hunter had already rushed into her arms.

She is laughing.

The hunter had never felt so happy before. She had hunted countless ordinary humans according to orders. Some of them had no fighting power, while others could put up a minimal resistance. In terms of the results, they were basically killed instantly. That was indeed a kind of hunting, but it was completely inconsistent with the hunter's hunting aesthetics, which only made her more bored. It was different! Today was different! The opponent she met today was so special, so exciting, and the pleasure flowed through her body!

It is swift, powerful, and intelligent. Apart from being a little immature, it is truly a rare and precious beast!

There was a bloodthirsty smile of excitement on the corner of her mouth, and following it was the black iron muzzle of the gun.

--boom!

The shot missed, and Lunicia used the end of the hilt to deflect the muzzle of the gun at the critical moment.

But don't forget that hunters use dual guns.

--boom!

The bullet was fired from an extremely strange angle, and then brushed past Lunicia's ear. Even though there was still quite a distance, the strong wind still left a laceration on the side of her ear, and blood gushed out.

--boom!

Just when Lunicia was about to swing her sword to drive the annoying figure out of her embrace, the hunter's arm had already been raised again, forcing Lunicia to give up the idea of ​​swinging her sword, and she could only continue to use her gauntlet to barely block the muzzle of the gun.
