Miss Gudazi, who almost became a walker, is saving humanity

It's going to breathe fire.

20. Is the case closed...?

■A factory that has no name until now.

Although the monster's pumpkin head was pierced by Kai's sword, the monster did not die.

To put it bluntly, this guy is really hard to kill.

However, the pumpkin head is indeed the monster's weakness.After the head was pierced, the monster with the pumpkin head went berserk immediately.It released a large number of shadow clones from its body to besiege everyone, and at the same time bent down and closed its mouth for the first time.

Then, the flames overflowing from its pumpkin head changed from red to blue - the color of the will-o'-the-wisp.

The next moment, it began to breathe fire as the rumors had described.

The flames gushed from the monster's mouth like a spiral column, and the heat of the flames distorted the atmosphere and melted the top of the factory.The metal swallowed by the monster was also mixed in the flames, and together with the flames, they formed a storm that only existed to kill people.

If it is only calculated by power, it may have reached the level of a B-rank Anti-Army Noble Phantasm.

However, such an attack with such a large preparation action cannot hit everyone who has experienced many battles.Everyone immediately spread out to avoid the flames, and the only second who didn't react immediately was pulled away by Gray.The flames that no one hit could only fly to the distance in vain, turning into fireworks in the night sky.

at this time--

"Yes, there are monsters!!!"

"Help me!!"

"Factory manager, the damn factory manager doesn't know when he really died!!"

Many voices came from the factory, and through the roof melted by the flames, it could be seen that there were still a lot of employees in the factory.

"...Does this factory have night shifts?!"

It's no wonder that the factory manager was still in the factory at twelve o'clock. It turned out that this factory is the type where people work at night.

"Didn't you say that people abroad don't work overtime?!"

——That must be another Internet rumor.

There is a saying that blackening is three times stronger and whitening is weaker by three points.

It's an unreasonable thing to say.

Although it is an unreasonable statement, it is a reality.To say why this phenomenon occurs, it is because the so-called good people have more things to bear than the bad people-that's all.

To put it simply, the offensive and defensive positions are now switched.

Seemingly understanding what happened, the monster laughed harshly again.It twisted its limbs into springs and jumped up towards the sky, aiming at the factory and spitting out anti-military flames.

Laughing like an idiot all the time, but let me repeat - this guy has intelligence.

The wisdom it possesses is the wisdom that exists for the sure purpose of killing others, and it will use it as soon as it catches a loophole.

B-rank opponents can only be regarded as [average] ranks among servants.However, this attack is a mere disaster to ordinary people.

Even a building protected by complex magic can be destroyed with a single blow from the Anti-Army Noble Phantasm, and if this blow from a monster hits, the factory will probably be destroyed in an instant.

Mash immediately raised the shield to face the sky to release the treasure, and the huge pure white round shield easily blocked all the flames falling from the sky.

Just then, an accident occurred.

Since entering the infirmary once in Chaldea, Matthew's body has not shown any abnormalities.But at this moment, the girl coughed up another mouthful of blood and lost her strength.

"Little eggplant!"

Lixiang yelled in panic, dropped the weapon in his hand and reached out to catch Mashu whose legs were weak and almost fell.

——As far as consequentialism is concerned, this is a bad move.

Now it is in battle, and the enemy is not far away.The current physical condition of Matthew is just a normal phenomenon. If you think rationally, you should find a way to defeat the pumpkin head monster first.

However, human beings have always been creatures that have no relationship with reason.

It would be strange if an important person had a problem in front of him, if he didn't panic.

"Senior...be careful..."

Mash tried to open his eyes wide and looked at the monster that was making harsh mocking noises. It seized Lixiang's second flaw and acted in order to complete its "commission".

It has understood that the girl is an existence that cannot be touched by itself, so it took out the [weapon] prepared to kill the girl from its mouth.

It was a giant hatchet that matched its pumpkin head very well.

"Yard!"

Grey yelled, making Yad turn into a thick tower shield in his hands.In order to block the monsters, Nisei also tried to weave magic.

But the pumpkin-headed monster immediately released shadow clones to entangle them, and at the same time chopped the hatchet in its hand towards the girl.

'—Here, use the Southern Cross to resist——! '

Just as Li Xiang thought about it, she discovered another thing.

The number of shadow clones released by the monster turned itself into a shadow spear, stabbing at Mash from behind in order to kill her.

"...Tsk!"

There was no need to think seriously at all, Li Xiang immediately made a decision.

In order to purify the shadow spear that was stabbing Mash, she stretched out her hand and decided to use a cross to resist the monster's hatchet.As long as her head is not instantly ground into powder, she will not die, and it is not unacceptable for a girl to bet one or two lives for Mash.

"Guha... Guhahahaha... Guhahahaha...!!"

The monster's jeer became harsher.

"—what the hell are you laughing at?"

At this time, a female voice mixed with anger came from afar, and a figure jumped out of the moon shadow with the sound of breaking through the air, kicking the monster's face and sending it flying.

"Is it ridiculous to ignore the situation of the battle because you are worried about your friends? Is it ridiculous to step into a dangerous situation in order to protect others? I'm asking you, monster."

The girl (probably) who appeared suddenly was wearing a nun's costume, holding a weapon that everyone in Mash and Chaldea has become familiar with recently—the black key.

"Where is this child's heart that should be ridiculed by you?! Crowd!"

□[Former Walker] Fujimaru Tachika

Li Xiang suddenly froze.

She's not ready yet.

During this journey to restore the singularity, she gradually untied the knot in the past, and always hoped to apologize to the important predecessors after the burn of humanity.But she hadn't expected at all—

"Heyer...Senior?"

——[Reunion] It will come so soon.

"Long time no see, Lixiang."

Under the moonlight, the girl (maybe) turned her head with a smile.

"You are really easy to get involved in messy things. How are you doing recently?"

"...Well, it's the same as before."

"Isn't that terrible? When will your child become happy?"

The monster's shadow swelled up at this moment, and the pumpkin-headed monster with shoe prints on its face climbed up again.Its flat shadow body swelled, and at some point it turned into a muscular body like a bodybuilding champion.

"He didn't die? Although Lixiang's talent is not as useful, Van Helsing's [Vampire Slayer] can also wipe out ordinary dead disciples in an instant?"

"Van Helsing?"

"I will explain it slowly later, I encountered something that might be very powerful."

"Senior... is she?"

"I'll introduce you later."

After confirming that Mash was fine, Lixiang, who was supporting her, let go of her and stood up.

"—Anyway, I'm going to solve that annoying guy and this serial murder case first."

Saying so, Tachika picked up the black key that he had dropped earlier from the ground and stood beside Sier.

Xier looked back at Mash, and then at Lixiang next to him.Then, the corners of the mouth turned into a happy W shape.

"It seems to be a cute child. It's okay for me to agree with you, sister?"

"...I just don't understand what you're talking about, Senior Sier."

"I made new friends."

"Well, it's a very important...very, very important friend."

"That's really nice."

Then, the two ran towards the pumpkin-headed monster that had turned into a gigantic monster.

What follows is [dance].

Wearing the same nun's attire and holding the same black keys.At this time, the two girls seemed to have become one, showing a cooperation far beyond simple [perfect].

Slashing, black key throwing, physical skills, secret tricks... The two girls' tacit understanding is terrifying, and Spring Heeled Jack, who has troubled everyone for a long time, looks like a random soldier in a Wushuang game in front of the two of them.

The cooperation between the two makes the combat power of both sides not [addition] but [multiplication], and the power expands without limit based on this, turning into an unstoppable power to dispel demons—of course, this is just an exaggeration .

Whether it is the supersonic spikes piercing from the body, the iron claws that are continuously swung at supersonic speed, the shadow clones that are continuously released, or all kinds of huge iron weapons.

Everything, everything, turned into scraps of paper in front of the two girls.

Slash, throw, kick.

Breaking through all the monster's attacks from the front, the two stepped into the inside of the pumpkin head monster's body the next moment.

The flame of the pumpkin head monster turned blue again, which was a sign that it was about to breathe fire.

Before that, Sier reached behind her back and pulled out a huge pile driver from [Nothing].At the same time that the pumpkin head monster opened its mouth, it drove the pile driver's pegs in.

The monster realized what he was about to face, and manipulated the clones around him to tear his head off immediately.Lixiang immediately took action at this moment, jumped into the air and sprinkled black keys in all directions.

The purple sanctuary formed a wall, preventing the support of the clones composed of shadows.At the same time, Xier immediately pulled the trigger, and the spike that already possessed enormous power and recently turned into a Noble Phantasm penetrated the monster's head and the power it had accumulated in its mouth.

Cracks covered the entire pumpkin head in an instant, and blue flames erupted from it.The flames of the explosion filled the space surrounded by the sanctuary in an instant, and spread upwards within the confines of the sanctuary.

Then, all the shadow clones disappeared in the next moment.

"……senior."

Mash murmured, and was about to run to the fire-filled sanctuary space.But the sanctuary was disarmed before that, and two figures stepped out of the flames.

"Sovereign El-Melloi II...magician. Forget it, since you are this child's companion, and you are still in the process of human incineration, let's put the teachings aside..."

Sier, who stepped out of the fire, said to himself, and reached out to stroke the hair of Tachika who was much shorter than herself.

"Class Assassin, Abraham Van Helsing, just call me Shiel. If you want to say—"

She looked at Li Xiang beside her.

"He is the child's guardian."

21. Antinomy

■Elmello II Detective Agency

After taking care of Spring Heeled Jack, II called the police and told them that the case was over.

Although the details of the case told by the police officers according to the requirements of the second emperor seemed to them like some fairy tales, but the police officers who had seen enough bizarre things recently reluctantly accepted it.

But because there were two dead people, the store manager and the factory manager, everyone was called by the police to make a record.By the time the transcripts were finished, the night was over.

"...does Scotland Yard work at night?"

After returning to the detective agency, it was already daytime, and Lixiang couldn't help but complain.

She admits that she has a lot of stereotypes about the so-called "foreign countries".

"After all, these are extraordinary times."

Second hung his coat on the drying rack at the door, walked in yawning.

As far as the theory of consequence is concerned, a follower can do it without rest around the clock.Although it can be done, but if you have to choose between sleeping and not sleeping, most servants will still choose [sleep].

"To be honest, I have a lot of questions I want to ask. But... everyone should go and have a rest now, and I just happened to sort out the information."
