This is not the date I wanted.

It is impossible to stop Alan by using the "Leaves of the World Tree" as a mine roadblock - Kotori had already realized this in the previous world.

The reason why it was set to mine mode at the beginning was just to prevent Alan from discovering the real function of these "Leaves of the World Tree" - magic diversion.

That is hundreds of times more difficult than using random fields to enhance the maneuverability of airships. It uses random fields to control the direction of specific magic sources.

With the current research on manifestation devices, it would be impossible for either DEM or Ratatoskr to realize this technology. However, with the support of Mengyue and her angel, the Sage of the Dawn, the impossible became possible.

This is another trump card that Fraxinus EX uses to deal with Alan after connecting with the Elf Liang Yi Meng Yue.

Through the future prediction of the "Sage of the Dawn", Goetia's dodge point was locked, and then the magic of the "Leaf of the World Tree" was used to change the trajectory, completing the unavoidable bombardment.

Another alias for the famous and indestructible Gungnir (Spear of Eternity) in Norse mythology.

The gun that is sure to hit the target - Gungnir.

PS: I am letting myself go in this magical modification.

08 Battle of Cosmos (VII)

==============================

Inside Fraxinus EX, in a circular space with a radius of three meters, Liang Yi Meng Yue was sitting cross-legged.

At this time, she had special electrodes attached to her limbs and forehead, and the electric cord extended from her back to the outside of the room, connected to the Fraxinus EX system. At the same time, in front of her, there was a device similar to a large socket, and the Dawn Sage, which was converted into a clamp-shaped turret, was embedded in it like a key.

Installed here are special devices that can receive the spiritual power of elves, allowing Fraxinus EX to absorb the spiritual power and gain power beyond the limit in an instant.

Gungnir, System.Blót. Mengyue was connecting these two weapons at the same time.

The former is to enhance the destructive power of Fraxinus EX's main guns, while the latter is to strengthen the ship itself by increasing the strength of the random field.

It would be fine if it was Shidou or a few more elves working together, but it is impossible for Mengyue alone to unleash the power of these two manifestation devices at the same time.

However, Meng Yue does not need that level. Her role here is not to strengthen, but to combine the suitable parts of the two into her own weapon.

By predicting Goetia's flight landing point through the "Future Prediction" of the Sage of the Dawn, and then manipulating the scattered "Leaves of the World Tree" to change the trajectory of the Magic Focus Cannon, no matter how fast Allen's Goetia is or how high its maneuverability is, it will not be able to avoid the attack of Fraxinus EX.

Of course, Mengyue herself didn’t know that this move was given the very immature name of “the gun that is sure to hit the target”.

"Um……"

Meng Yue looked at the holographic image playing in the circular wall. Goetia, who was hit by the magic focusing cannon, couldn't help but frown.

"Thirty-four percent of the magic power is wasted. It's much less efficient than when it was simulated in the computer world."

Of course, although the "magic steering" function seems to be unfair, it is not without its shortcomings. Just like a thrown ball will bounce back after hitting a wall, but its speed and power will undoubtedly decrease. After changing its trajectory, the power of the magic focusing cannon will definitely decline.

In the computer world, the magic cannon still retained 97% of its power after turning. Although Meng Yue knew that this value would definitely drop in the real world, she did not expect it to drop to this extent.

The attack that was originally intended to sink Goetia only caused minor damage to the opponent.

According to this calculation, the first-turn magic cannon can only barely penetrate Goetia's random field, the power of the second turn may only shake the hull, and the power after the third turn can only be considered to tickle the enemy.

(A quick decision is needed.)

Without hesitation, Mengyue looked at Goetia who was hurriedly distancing herself and adjusting herself, and contacted Kotori.

"Kotori-chan, take this opportunity to continue the pursuit and don't give Alan time to adjust."

……

"cut--"

Fraxinus EX did not stop, gathering its magic power once again to prepare for a bombardment.

Seeing this scene, Alan's face couldn't help but look a little ugly.

Soon, a torrent of magic power shot out from the main gun and attacked Allen.

(left!)

After seeing through the trajectory of the cannonball, Allen controlled Goetia to move to the right and avoided the magic focusing cannon.

boom--!

However, as if against her judgment, the magic cannon changed its trajectory as she moved and hit Goetia, causing the ship to shake violently.

[Warning, the ship's left wing was attacked, with 18 percent damage.]

Again!

Alan couldn't help but grit his teeth.

Although the opponent's ability to change the trajectory of the shells through "magic steering" was indeed beyond Allen's expectations, what really made her feel difficult was the opponent's strange judgment that could always accurately find her dodge direction and landing point, as if he could read her mind.

There was no time to breathe and think. Just when Allen had just driven Goetia to rebuild the defensive random field, Fraxinus EX's third magic focus cannon was ready to fire.

“Don’t be too proud!!”

Seeing the other party's arrogant attitude, Allen instantly felt angry. He didn't care about the extent of Goetia's damage at all and increased his speed to the limit.

However, even so, the direction of the battle did not change. Even if Allen increased his speed to a level that the radar could not detect, the magic cannon could still accurately lock its flight trajectory. Even if Allen tried his best to avoid the first and second turns, the magic cannon could still hit Goetia after the third turn.

Although Allen had thought about destroying the "Leaves of the World Tree" scattered throughout the universe, as soon as she got close, the "Leaves of the World Tree" would immediately turn back into mine mode and cause an explosion, almost causing her to suffer a loss.

Soon, although each injury was just a minor one, as it accumulated over time, Goetia gradually became scarred.

Alan was feeling unusually irritated now.

Unlike the feeling just now when she was fighting a ferocious tiger, Fraxinus EX was now like a vicious spider. She would not attack head-on, but would hide in the distance, setting traps step by step. She would only show her fangs and attack when she was truly powerless.

This is the enemy that Allen hates facing the most.

[Warning, the damage to the ship exceeds 30%, please retreat immediately! Please retreat immediately——]

"Noisy!"

Hearing the alarm coming from the airship, Alan roared impatiently.

Of course, Alan also understood that it would be meaningless even if he vented his anger like this.

(No! Calm down! You must calm down! Alan Mathers, you are the strongest magician in the world. You can easily overcome this difficulty as long as you calm down.)

He bit his tongue hard, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. The stinging sensation in his mouth and the faint smell of blood gradually stabilized Allen's emotions.

(Although these magic cannons cannot be dodged, their power is much weaker than expected.)

Allen noticed it soon. Otherwise, Goetia would have been completely destroyed by so many magic cannons.

"Oh?"

Meng Yue raised her eyebrows in slight surprise.

The reason was very simple, because she saw that Goetia had given up the idea of ​​dodging the magic convergence cannon at this time. After dodging only once, she concentrated the random field on the position where the magic convergence cannon was going to hit, and resisted the attack of the magic convergence cannon by improving her defense.

"Hmph - you've discovered that the magic focusing cannon is not powerful enough after turning. After all, you're still the self-proclaimed strongest magus, so you wouldn't think that being able to fly and hide is so great."

"Humph, the situation has reversed!"

Alan let out a long breath of anger, and taking advantage of the stalemate after Fraxinus EX's bombardment, he accelerated and rushed in front of it, ready to launch an attack.

however--

——Boom! ——Boom!

At the same time, violent attacks came from both sides, interrupting Allen's attack again.

[Warning, random field responses detected on both sides! The left wing is completely damaged. ]

"what happened?!"

Allen's eyes widened in disbelief. At this time, she had already resisted the magic focus cannon, and the scattered "World Tree Leaves" were also quite far away from her. Fraxinus EX should have no means to attack her at this time.

Moreover, although there were reports that the hull was damaged by being squeezed, Allen did not find any individuals that activated random fields on either side of Goetia.

However, the light was slightly distorted, and soon, two dark airships appeared in the empty space, exerting pressure on Goetia from both sides like a sandwich.

Allen did not feel unfamiliar with these two airships. These two airships were two of the three airships that she had set out from DEM's headquarters to attack Hoshimiya Rokuku.

"what happened?"

Why would his subordinates betray him? Why would they disrupt the situation at such a critical moment? Why were they able to intercept the high-speed Goetia? Too many questions made Allen's mind confused.

Suddenly, Allen received a communication request from the two airships.

[Can you hear me? Alan Mathers.]

When he opened it, what Allen heard was not the apology of his subordinates, but the voice of a young woman.

Allen's eyes suddenly widened, and she swore that she would never forget the other person's voice even if she died.

“Hacker!!”

Alan shouted out the other party's identity. In response, the voice on the other end of the communicator just said coldly.

[You lose this time. I will now return the care you received from Niya double.]

As the communication ended, Alan felt that magic power was constantly gathering in the blind spot blocked by the two airships.

"—!!"

Almost like the brute force of a fire scene, Alan poured all of his magic power into the random field and forcibly pushed away the two ships that were squeezing Goetia.

However, after she finally escaped from the double-team, what greeted her was the magical light that had been waiting for her for a long time.

……

[Kotori-chan, 2 o'clock direction, straight-line distance 110 meters, magic focus cannon fires in 3 seconds.]

Seeing Goetia appear at the coordinates exactly as Mengyue said, Qinli breathed a sigh of sympathy.

"What a shame. It must be a shame to end like this, Alan Mathers."

If it weren't for the trap set by Sister Mengyue, and the outcome was decided only by technology and operation skills, it would still be unknown who would win. No, to be honest, Allen should win.

"But right now, at this moment, we have won. That is the only fact."

Kotori pointed her thumb downward and declared.

"Fall, the strongest magician!"

At the same time, the unreserved bombardment pierced through the platinum-colored battleship and its random area.

09 battle of cosmos (VIII)

==============================

boom--!

Goetia was completely damaged by the frontal attack of the magic focusing cannon. Black smoke billowed from all parts of the ship and it fell uncontrollably towards the earth.

Seeing this scene, cheers suddenly rang out from the crew in the command room of the Fraxinus EX bridge.

"Ohh! I win!!"

"Hahaha! You little bastard DEM! Aren't you very arrogant? Have you seen the power of Fraxinus EX?"

"Today is a good day. I'm going to open a bottle of champagne and celebrate when I get home!"

Perhaps because they were finally able to vent their pent-up anger, the crew members were now as noisy as students who were having a break after a tough exam.

"Cough-cough-"

Although she understood her subordinates' feelings, as a commander, Kotori deliberately coughed twice and said,

"Silence! Control your emotions! It's too early to celebrate! Ju Ya! How are the others doing?"

[Report, Tohka, Yakuya, Yui, Yoshino, Miku are all fine, Nanasin is slightly injured. Origami is still fighting Artemisia. Shidou has just successfully used the "Sealing Master" to unlock Rokuko's heart. Rokuko seems to be in a daze, but judging from the current situation, he is no longer hostile.]

After receiving Kotori's question, Maria appeared on the screen and reported to Kotori the current situation of the elves and the others.

Although the news of Nanashi's injury made her a little worried, the result was pretty good. Kotori breathed a sigh of relief and began to give orders in an orderly manner.

"Everyone, please pay attention. Prepare to retrieve Shidou, Tohka and the others now. Reine, you will be in charge of treating Nanashi's injuries in the infirmary. Maria, you will be in charge of notifying Origami to prepare for retreat. Also, please contact the Ratatoskr troops on Earth to see if they can capture Alan Mathers."

"As ordered!"

"……OK."

【learn. 】

"……strangeness."

Unlike the command room which was already filled with victories, Meng Yue in the connection room frowned strangely.
