NIKKE, when the stars bloom

"My commander said! What's the point of just being able to spit fire in the sky? Come down and fight me one on one if you have the guts!"

"?"

After hearing Isabel's shout, the fire dragon was caught off guard and almost choked by its own dragon breath.

After roaming the land for decades, Nihilista's notoriety had reached the point where even the Ark's ace troops underground dared not show their heads. How could a human dare to provoke her like this tonight?

Are you looking for death? !

Even though he kept warning the Fire Dragon rationally, pointing out the opponent's clumsy provocation, his hot temper, his contempt for Nikki, and the blessing of the Sky Ring's home court made Nihilista unable to find any reason for himself to lose.

She's going to land.

She wanted to tear the rats that sneaked into Tianhuan into pieces in human form, so that the commander who didn't know how to live or die could experience what cruelty was.

call--!

The bat wings flapped and a strong wind blew.

The fire dragon changed direction, ignoring Isabel's presence, and swooped down towards the man who was standing in the middle of the road and provoking him with a gun in his hand.

“Human——!!!”

Nihilista suddenly slowed down in mid-air and turned into a human form, roaring with an expression of excitement that was almost ferocious.

Her mechanical heart was burning like fire, and she couldn't wait to punch the enemy through the chest, pick up the half-dead body, and kill him in front of the two Nikkis...

"I've got her locked on, Commander."

Unexpectedly, less than three hundred meters from the ground, a charming voice suddenly and gently lingered in Nihilista's ears.

What followed was the most painful experience the Fire Dragon had ever experienced in his life.

The pain of the soul spread out from the neck, ignoring the pain switch, shattering the idealistic will, and forcibly destroying all thinking abilities.

moment,

It was just a moment of less than half a second.

The pain came suddenly and went away quickly. When Nihilista regained consciousness, she saw a flash of red before her eyes.

boom--! ! !

The fist like a cannonball hit the heretic's cheek hard. The extremely violent force instantly knocked the human-shaped fire dragon horizontally into the air and directly dented the metal wall beside the road.

There was no so-called duel, only the hoarse and calm command of an unscrupulous man.

"Tear her down."

As soon as the words fell, Yuni, who was standing beside Phoenix and supporting Mihala, suddenly fixed her eyes and activated her special ability on Nihilista.

It was still a moment of stagnation, and the fire dragon, without any chance to resist, was instantly

Rabbi came over, grabbed him by the hair, pressed his knee against his spine, and forced him to the ground in a kneeling position.

Then, dense gunfire rang out!

Countless bullets pierced Nihilista's neck from the side. Then, the nanometal frantically repaired the pierced wound at an alarming speed.

Unfortunately, Lavi, who had a scarf wrapped around his neck, pulled the fire dragon's head with all his strength, just like tearing glue, and with the help of everyone's firepower, he pulled Nihilista's head off his neck!

Although the scene is not bloody, the process of the unevenly thick nanometal strands being destroyed by bullets and then slowly stretched and torn apart is creepy enough.

"commander."

Even after such a horrific act, the girl's tone still showed no obvious emotion. She just held the dragon's head and walked to Phoenix under Dorothy's dull gaze, then placed the object in her hand firmly on the ground and reported as usual:

"mission completed."

The blind man was not surprised at all, and gave the command in the same swift and decisive manner:

"Isabelle, secretly send Lapi back to the Ark and go directly to Ingrid. The faster the better."

After he finished speaking, the lieutenant sat down, listened to the mixed responses from the Nikkis, looked at the ground not far from Nihilista's ear, and spoke a few words calmly to the air.

"One for one."

"Anik for the lizard."

Chapter 281 How pitiful! Your mother doesn't want you anymore.

【…】

【…】

There is silence within the sea of ​​consciousness.

Phoenix, who did not receive a response to the trade, touched the stubble on his chin, pondering the Queen's attitude thoughtfully.

Consciousness overseas, noisy.

With only one head left, Nihilista bared his teeth and kept making loud noises tirelessly.

"Pitiful."

The man listened patiently to the harsh words that the fire dragon said for a long time without uttering a single dirty word. Finally, he stretched out his hand and touched the heretic's head little by little like a blind man, and then stroked it twice as if he was petting a cat.

"Your mother doesn't want you anymore."

"..."

A sentence that sounded nonsensical not only made Anis and others blink their eyes in confusion, but also successfully sewed up Nihilista's annoying big mouth.

Mother?

What mom???

Although he didn't understand what Phoenix was saying for a moment, his sixth sense sounded the alarm, reminding Fire Dragon that this shameless man in front of him must have something else to say.

What does he want to express?

The puzzled heretic remained silent...

I don't know how long he remained silent. After some hard thinking, Nihilista finally plucked up the courage to replace the word "mother" with "queen". Then, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, which were originally as ferocious as a beast.

The Queen doesn't want me anymore?

"Ha! Are you kidding me? I didn't realize that a sinister and disgusting human like you knows so much. It's a pity that you are not very smart. You can actually talk about this divisive plot that even a fool can see through so seriously."

The fire dragon spat out a mouthful of fake blood and sneered disdainfully:

"How could a lowly human like you possibly reach such a high position..."

However, before the heretic could finish his trash talk, the iron hand that was rubbing her head suddenly slid to the side of her ear, and then, the cold thumb pressed into her teeth, pulling up the soft corner of her lips.

"I have a hostage locked up by your mother, and I want to exchange you with her."

Phoenix first gave a tentative explanation, then, after confirming that his sea of ​​consciousness was still calm, he raised his left hand, gently tapped his temple with his index finger, and continued calmly:

“Unfortunately, she doesn’t seem to be very interested in your life and doesn’t want to pay any attention to my proposal.

From this point of view, you should have quite a lot of brothers and sisters, and you are not favored in there. So one more of you is not much, one less of you is not much, if you suddenly die one day...

Then he will die.”

When the man uttered the last word "die", a sour metallic scraping sound came out from between Nihilista's teeth.

At this moment, the woman's eyes were as vicious as a ghost, and she wished she could bite off and chew Phoenix's metal thumb on the spot to vent her anger.

“Tsk! Kill me! What can killing me do? You can’t survive. None of you humans… can survive—!!!”

"Shh-"

The harsh words without any lethality blew into the ears of the lieutenant. Seeing that the queen still did not respond to what he had just said, Phoenix could not help but raise his eyebrows, as if he had figured something out, but he was not sure of his guess, so he could only test the other party's bottom line again.

"Is such that."

"I promised our Tia that I would introduce her to a flying dragon as a 'friend', and I think you are a good candidate..."

As someone said this, he reached his left hand into the backpack behind him and took out an exquisite metal box the size of a lighter from the side pocket. Then he held the box and touched Nihilista's broken neck.

"A mother who doesn't want children is not a good mother..."

Click!

The mechanism made a sound, and the blood of Walqiulei hidden in the box was suddenly pumped out from the tip of the needle, staining the wound of the fire dragon. The man gently raised the corner of his mouth, and his hoarse voice seemed like a devil's whisper that captured people's hearts.

"Would you like to teach her a lesson with me?"

Chapter 282 She said, wait

Unlike Nikki who fell into a coma when NIMPH was removed, Nihilista regained her personality the moment she came into contact with the blood of Valqiulei, and her brain uncontrollably sorted out the broken memories of her time as Nikki.

Seeing that she was no longer shouting and making noise, Phoenix put away his hands, raised his head slightly and asked the person beside him:

"Letcher's movements."

"Report to the commander, Letcher within a two-kilometer radius is retreating."

In the absence of Rabbi, Marianne naturally took over the position of adjutant and was seen looking around while reporting the situation to the second lieutenant.

"Confirm again, there is no Letcher approaching us within a two-kilometer radius."

Upon learning that the enemy not only did not launch a siege, but instead chose to distance themselves from him, Phoenix was really confused about the Queen's intentions.

According to what the other party expressed in his words, combined with a series of operations including blocking AI assistance, blocking superpower assistance, and blocking prosthetic assistance, he simply wanted to evaluate his ability data under normal conditions.

First of all, we can rule out one thing: there is no way the Queen would be stupid enough to want to watch a blind man perform the bloody scene of "tearing Letcher apart with his bare hands", so the weight of testing on-the-spot performance should account for the majority.

But according to the current situation, not to mention that the bad behavior of alienating the fire dragon was not stopped by the queen, the fact that Letcher retreated completely alone was enough to deny the lieutenant's speculation.

What on earth is that heretical version of the mechanical gorilla planning...

Om-! ! !

Unexpectedly, just when Phoenix subconsciously thought of a taboo word!

The surging impact of consciousness was like a tricky hook punch, smashing into the man's sea of ​​consciousness, setting off a huge wave.

The force of the impact seemed to know the limit of Phoenix's consciousness very well, just enough, no more, no less, to make someone barely able to grit his teeth and hold on without fainting on the spot.

At the same time, after finishing organizing his memories, Nihilista saw the miserable appearance of the man in front of him, and immediately changed his tangled and ugly expression, and laughed out loud again in an annoying way.

"Hey~ Hey~ Hey~~~

Have you, a human being, been living too comfortably underground? Do you really think that by killing a thousand or eight hundred machines you can be on equal footing with us?

Even if you inject the antidote into my brain, what does it matter? No matter before or now, disgusting creatures like humans are only worthy of waiting to die in the ground."

"what???"

Hearing the Fire Dragon's repeated and endless harsh words, Anis, who had been patient for a long time, wrinkled her nose slightly. Finally, she couldn't hold back her inner impulse anymore, snorted coldly, and started to speak in a sarcastic tone.

"Since she is a heretic, the honorable Lizard-sama must have been Nikki in the past~

What~?

Are you so angry with the commander because you were abandoned by other commanders before? Did no comrades save you? Even if you become a heretic, your mother, elder sister, and younger sisters will not like you?

"Wow, wow, wow~ How pitiful! You must have been very lonely these years, right?"

Nihilista: "..."

With her sharp words and rich intonation, Anis successfully broke through the fire dragon's disguise and defense with her venomous sarcasm that was like a dimensionality reduction attack.

"I'm going to kill you--!"

"Damn you, you piece of trash! I'm going to chew you into a pile of iron filings where nothing can be seen--!!!"

……

……

【see it? 】

While the two women were swearing at each other, the lieutenant, who had been punched in the head, finally heard the queen's response.

Compared to the ethereal and non-human voice at the beginning, at this moment, Lilyvis's tone was as cold as iron, but also had a bit of warmth that a living being should have.

[The heretic is a complex product born from the collision between Nikki's technology and Letcher's technology. Not only me, but even the real Letcher Queen above my head cannot deduce the heretic's underlying logic.

This currently unsolvable heresy technology successfully gave Nihilista strength that surpassed the fairy-tale type Nikki.
