Survive in Azure Files

Midori said anxiously: "But Alice-chan..."

"The one now is not Alice." I looked at the robot girl whose face was familiar but strange, and asked cautiously, "Key, you took away Alice's body, right?"

Tao Jing was stunned: "What!? Key!?"

And "Alice" did not refuse to communicate with us this time.

"...Alice. That's the name you used to call us...AL-1S."

Key, who had acknowledged his identity, said coldly, "AL-1S does not need a name. A name will confuse the purpose and essence of existence. The decision AL-1S just made is the best proof that he has been tainted by you."

I realized that Key was willing to respond to us, seemingly for another purpose.

On his chest, where his clothes were torn by the bullet and his fair skin was exposed, the weakness discovered by the [Eagle Eye] had disappeared.

She was buying time to heal the damage she had sustained and wait for the Sword of Light to cool down.

What confirmed my guess was that after saying something incomprehensible, Key pursed his lips, held the sword of light in one hand and began to charge:

"Next, we will eliminate all those who are disturbing AL-1S's mind and hindering us."

"Come on."

Amy flew forward and blocked Key.

I took back the drone and grabbed the most hesitant Green's hand: "Let's leave the factory first."

The power of the Sword of Light is simply too great, and when the user doesn't necessarily need to take care of himself, it's not a wise move to contend with it in such a small terrain.

No matter what strategy you have, the first thing is to go to a relatively open area outside and make plans.

"But, Alice..."

"Trust me." I looked at Midori firmly.

"...Well, I understand."

I held Midori's hand and we ran out together. Yuzu passed us and came to the front, leading the way with her excellent memory of a gaming master. Momoi followed closely on the other side of me, chattering non-stop.

"I knew long ago that Key was definitely not a good guy. Maybe the G.Bible he gave us was fake... Oh... teammates turning into enemies midway is very frustrating, whether you encounter them in the game or in real life..."

What's the point of saying this now...

Suddenly, Amy's slightly hurried voice came from my briefcase:

"Teacher! That guy is chasing you! I'm right behind her now, so be careful!"

At this moment, we had just escaped a short distance and were now in a long straight corridor.

With the performance of Alice's machine, how long will it take for her to catch up with us?

Activate the power of [Wind Listener], and hear two footsteps coming from dozens of meters behind you. The heavy and forward one is about to cross the corner!

Not only that, there was also a noisy sound of electricity above the footsteps.

My pupils shrank, and I moved Tao Jing and Midori to my front, shouting, "Yuzu, stop, retreat! Alona!"

Yuzu had great trust in me, or maybe it was because she lacked confidence. Anyway, Yuzu did it at the first opportunity.

The next moment, the sword of light, which had already finished charging energy, emerged from the corner behind the small machine one step ahead of the other. Then, aim and shoot!

"Leave it to me! I will never let anyone hurt the teacher!"

Only I could hear, Alona declared.

At such critical moments, she, who is usually silly and unreliable, is always the one I trust the most.

Then, I hugged the three girls and fell down. It was like a cannonball condensed from endless light and heat, flying over our heads and making close contact with the wall not far in front of us, causing a deafening noise.

Key narrowed his eyes slightly, surprised at his own failure. Then, in the short time he had lost while shooting, he was entangled again by Amy who arrived.

“Missed…?” Yuzu was still frightened.

"Teacher, teacher, is it magic?" Taoi's eyes sparkled.

"Is it black technology?" Green guessed.

I sighed, climbed up as quickly as possible, and helped them up: "My princesses, the most important thing now is to escape."

This is Kivotos. The aura that can resist even bullets also gives students a big heart that is not afraid of danger, to put it in a positive way.

The smoke dissipated, and bright sunlight shone through the gap in the wall that was pierced by the light cannon.

Could it be that Arona had already calculated it in advance when she deflected the attack and deliberately directed the light cannon towards the outside world?

It’s not too late to think about this after everything is over.

"Let's get out of there first!"

The molten material at the edge of the hole still had a temperature high enough to burn people. Fortunately, the resistance of the Halo and the Box of Shiting was effective, and we successfully reached the outside of the factory.

Without taking a break, I commanded: "In an open area like this, the disadvantage of the Sword of Light's charging time can be reflected normally. Everyone, prepare for an ambush, the target is..."

I will never pass up any opportunity that can make me stronger.

In other words... I will never give Alice, who should belong to me, to anyone, even if it is a key that is inextricably linked to Alice before she lost her memory.

"Defeat Key and rescue Alice." I said in a deep voice.

The girls in the game development department all perked up at the same time, said yes in unison, and then skillfully prepared to find a suitable shelter.

But at this moment, an unexpected situation occurred again.

Several robots suddenly surrounded them and launched a fierce attack.

It was not the white and yellow robot seen before, but a robot with an extremely strange shape that was out of tune with the current trend of Kivotos, and it emitted a light that was the same color as Key's eyes.

We wanted to ambush Key, but instead we were surrounded by robots that were most likely related to Key?

Since the enemy's offensive was too fierce, I had to change my strategy and release the drone that Himari gave me ahead of time.

But it didn't work.

A series of "no hacking target detected" made my heart sink again and again.

Why was the key only hacked in just now? No, the key had already been transferred into Alice's body at that time. In other words, what was hacked into at that time was just an empty shell?

I don't have the energy to think about these things. I only know that this magic weapon that I originally thought was the key to success no longer has any effect.

as well as.

Using the key of Alice's body, he once again broke away from Amy's control and rushed out of the gap. He looked around indifferently at the girls who were fighting fiercely with the strange robots.

"Exclude, proceed."

Chapter 56 I Think I Can Explain

Is this situation enough to be called hopeless?

Of course not. I still have a trump card, even if it will cost me dearly, even if I use it it may not necessarily turn the tide.

But, look at the surrounding scene -

My important students are stuck in a tough fight, Key is being held back by Amy but could break free at any time to fire a beam cannon at someone else, another robot army with a mysterious hatred for me is about to attack, and I don't know what's going on with Alice...

If I still cherish my life at this moment, will I really be forced into a desperate situation and continue to struggle?

There is no need to hesitate any longer.

I exhaled a breath, and a corona-shaped halo condensed from nothingness, hanging behind my head and slowly rotating.

God’s name is liberated: [White Crown King]!

A stronger body, more energy, clearer thinking...

The incomparably wonderful feeling of sublimation is fascinating and intoxicating.

Even if [Wind Listener] is always on, there will be no fatigue.

However, after entering this state, my life is burning every moment.

I looked at Key who was fighting fiercely with Amy, and I knew that how to defeat him as quickly as possible was the key to solving the problem.

Although the situation in the game development department is also quite tense, the priority is actually not that high.

First defeat the robots to free up the game development department's combat power, and then the five of them will attack the key together. From the moment these robots appeared and successfully trapped the game development department, it was just a seemingly beautiful but impossible idea.

Judging from the fact that Key chose to chase us first, she is not stupid.

Its advantages are its war machine-like body, its incredibly powerful sword of light, and the fact that it is alone.

That’s right, when the gap in strength between the upper and lower levels is too great, being a lone wolf can actually be considered an advantage.

Key doesn't worry about those robots that are obviously mass-produced, but we do worry about the safety of our companions.

It is true that key's carrying capacity has a limit, but at the same time, she only needs one strike to reduce the number of staff in the game development department.

Key didn't do that now, simply because there was no need to rush and he still had time to wait for the opportunity.

If I chose to deal with the miscellaneous soldiers first, after noticing my actions and intentions, even if he risked being shot at close range by Amy, Key would most likely launch an unavoidable attack on the other students entangled by the robots.

It is difficult for me to rescue everyone at once, which is the key reason why this plan cannot be implemented.

Therefore, we must start directly from the key.

After opening the Divine Name, some of my powers were enhanced and changed. Of these, I only used one.

The Eye of the Storm is a storm that can consume a large amount of mystic energy and release extremely destructive power. Specifically, it is roughly equivalent to the power of heavy firepower weapons.

However, in my opinion, the true essence of this power is not its destructive power, but its concealment and extremely fast speed when it is released.

Who would be prepared for a sudden gust of wind?

Even if they were really alert, how many people would follow their instinct to dodge without hesitation after realizing there were no live bullets?

To sum up, this power is clearly suitable for use in an open and honest sneak attack.

Then there is the [Majesty of the Lion God] which is liberated from the [Majesty of the Lion].

The exact intensity is still unknown, but distraction during combat can always have serious consequences.

And finally...

Can robots be called electronic devices?

I kind of regret that I underestimated those two powers before and didn't conduct this kind of test.

No matter what, time is limited. Now that you have decided to do it, don't hesitate and do your best. Believe in yourself and believe in my students.

The life burning rate doubled instantly, which meant that the amount of [Mysterious] azurite that could be used increased dramatically, and then suddenly dropped.

I told myself it was worth it.

No.

This is what I have to pay.

Since Alice calls me a teacher, I must save my students. And Key, who ignores Alice's will, must face my wrath.

Staring at the unaware Key, the air, under the influence of the [mystery], rose, fell, convected, and rotated, and finally flew along the predetermined route according to my thoughts.

The electronic sound receptors picked up something strange. Key, who was concentrating on dealing with Amy and preparing to find the right time to eliminate the relatively weaker intruder, turned her eyes and saw only an adult who looked hideous to her, smiling at her.

I can't understand it, and I don't need to care about it...

……wrong.

Key suddenly realized that there seemed to be an imperceptible, extremely weak, but real distortion in the air.

Must avoid.

However, the next moment, a pressure that was almost condensed into substance pressed heavily on her body and mind, making her unable to move for a moment.

Although Amy didn't know the specific reason, she certainly couldn't miss such an opportunity. She quickly aimed at Key's wrist and pulled the trigger, achieving a result that no one had imagined.

The sword of light flew out of his hand.

Amy, who had already analyzed the enemy's action pattern, was stunned at first, then delighted. She picked up the Sword of Light and put it on her shoulder, took away Key's means of long-range attack, and ran directly to support the girls in the game development department who were fighting hard.

The next moment, I released the [Majesty of the Lion God], and Key was about to dodge, but the storm with a power equivalent to that of a large-yield explosive was already approaching her.

Countless sharp wind blades cut Alice's body wantonly, tearing her clothes into pieces, but seemed unable to cause any damage to her fair skin.

However, despite the change in power and the completely different description, I can still see the weakness in Key.
