Huang Huazhijijie Knight was about to push Imduk away, when suddenly, the spiritual power in front of the opponent rapidly gathered, forming a shock wave that blasted him away.
This is exactly the characteristic of Imduk. Any enemy that fights in front of it (in the connection direction) will be subjected to continuous spiritual power shocks.
Seeing this, Alyssa was overjoyed. She ordered the Material Dragon and Imduk to join forces to attack, completely suppressing the Huanghua Knight of the Machine Realm. It was only a matter of time before they were defeated.
At this point, the outcome of the entire battlefield was decided, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Although there were several twists and turns in the process, the purpose of this trip was finally achieved.
Fairy Liz flew over, patting her chest with her hands in relief, "Great! I thought it was too late. Looks like you guys can still win even if Imduk doesn't come."
You Zhi asked in confusion, "Imduk absorbed all the star power, but this is the only improvement. It's much weaker than I expected."
Liz explained, "The absorption of star power is a gradual process. You can't just give it to anyone you want. Imduk only absorbed less than one-third of the star power of the Star Armor. The rest was wasted."
At the end, her tone was a little angry.
At this moment, Oram and the others, who had just finished dealing with their opponents, came over and could only apologize upon hearing this. "I'm sorry, the situation back then didn't allow us time to delve into details. We could only grab as much as we could. Fortunately, we still have five Star Relics."
Ningersu said, "Are you stupid? We have already defeated all the Mecha Knights. We no longer need to search for Star Relics."
Oram suddenly realized: "That's right, we searched for star relics to deal with the Mecha Knights."
Eve thanked Youzhi and Alyssa and said, "Everything is thanks to you two. Without your help, we would never be able to defeat the Machine World Knights with our current strength."
Even if the three of them fought a fair one-on-one duel, they might not be able to defeat the Mecha Knights, not to mention that they picked some relatively weaker ones among the Mecha Knights. Even if Imduk was included, their chances of winning were still slim. If it weren't for Youzhi and Alyssa, it would be a luxury to escape safely. They could only hope that the enemy would show mercy.
Ningirsu also understood this, so he said, "I apologize for my previous suspicion of you two."
You Zhi waved his hand and said, "You were just doing your job. Besides, it was just a suspicion. There's nothing to apologize for."
Alyssa said impatiently: “You have time to chat here, why not quickly deal with the remaining enemies and end the battle.”
At this time, the Magic Valkyrie successfully defeated the Mecha Knight of Cui Lan by relying on her attribute restraint. After absorbing the spiritual power, she even leveled up twice, but the Mecha Knight of Huang Hua was still resisting stubbornly.
You Zhi said, "Everyone is kind enough to leave the chance to end the battle to your spirit."
Alyssa said with a straight face: “This kind intention is not necessary.”
Since that was the case, everyone did not refuse and joined forces to attack, blowing the last Mecha Knight into pieces flying all over the sky.
Oram looked at the rain of metal falling from the sky and said with emotion, "It's finally over. Everyone can live freely under the sun, no longer fearing an attack from the mecha monster bugs."
Ningirsu and Eve felt the same way.
But at this moment, the remains of the seven Mecha Knights reacted.
Chapter 71: Almighty Machine Knight
The first one to notice something was wrong was the Silent Magician. With her talent upgraded to the Berserker level, her sensitivity to spiritual energy had reached a whole new level. Although she couldn't speak, it didn't stop her from using a shadow ball to give a warning.
The pitch-black shadow ball struck the remains of the Cuilan Knight of the Machine World, causing a massive explosion.
"What's going on? Are there any hidden enemies?"
"Didn't they say there were only seven Mecha Knights?"
Once alerted, everyone immediately noticed the unusual spiritual fluctuations, but before they could take action, they saw seven rays of light shooting up into the sky from the remains of the Mecha Knight, converging in the air and combining into a brand new individual.
[Star Mark Machine World Knight (3 links [↙][↓][↘]) Light]
[Pedigree: Steel]
【Level: 54】
[Attack power: 3000 (4200)]
[Cyber-type, Effect: ① If there are no other cards in the same column as this card, this card can attack directly; ② If there are no monsters in the zone connected to this card in the Extra Monster Zone, this card cannot be destroyed by card effects and cannot be targeted by your opponent's card effects; ③: Omitted]
You Zhi said solemnly: "I was careless. There were seven enemies, and I didn't treat them as bosses at all."
Otherwise, he must be on guard against the very possible existence of a second form, and the other party will not be able to complete the transformation safely.
Ningirsu looked at Liz and complained, "Why didn't you warn us in advance?"
"I, I didn't know the other party had such a function. No one has ever defeated all the Mecha Knights in the past." Liz said panicked.
Oram asked, "What should we do now? Should we work together to destroy it?"
Ningirsu said angrily, "What kind of combined strength is this? Everyone's physical and spiritual strength is almost exhausted. Youzhi and Alyssa's spirits have almost lost their combat effectiveness. And the opponent's spiritual power is so strong, far surpassing the previous Mecha Knights. We are no match for them at all."
Eve agreed, "Everyone is exhausted. Let's retreat first. Although we are disappointed that we couldn't destroy the Machine World Knight, knowing this secret will help us be prepared next time."
Everyone looked tired, the only ones who were energetic were Imduk and Youzhi. When Youzhi saw the effect of the plug-in identification, he guessed that the opponent might have the penetrating feature, and he would not be his opponent even if he went on the court.
If he were to be hit by a 4200 attack that ignored defense, even if the third level of the Strong and Weak Simulation State could save his life, he would probably only have one breath left.
So, everyone quickly reached a consensus that they had to retreat, no choice but to retreat!
However, even if they all agreed to retreat, it would depend on whether the enemy agreed.
The Star Mark Knight of the Machine Realm, who was suspended in the air, was surrounded by light, and the strong fluctuations of spiritual power sent a high-energy warning to everyone.
The next moment, seven different types of attacks erupted from the Star Mark Knight. The cloak on its back shot out vacuum waves, the ring around its waist activated its mental power, the giant axe on its chest erupted with huge explosions, the armor on its arms stimulated the power of the earth, ten prisms shot out 100,000 volts, the double-edged sword in its hands slashed out sharp blades in the air, and the staff as a tail summoned leaves to form a storm that roared down.
This all-round attack with no blind spots was impossible to dodge. The material dragon took the brunt of the blow and exploded on the spot. The six-star spiritual power was backfired back at Alyssa. Her head buzzed, she had a splitting headache, and her blood was churning all over her body. She almost fainted on the spot.
"Look for cover!"
You Zhi shouted loudly and hid behind a huge fist armor pillar with Alyssa, who was unable to move. The others reacted and also looked for cover to hide.
Among them, only the Silent Magician did not dodge, and no attacks fell on her. This was not because of good luck, but due to the characteristics of the Magic Valkyrie - when the Magic Valkyrie was on the field, the other magician elves would not become the target of attack.
The surviving Silent Magician raised his staff and shot a ray of fantasy light at the Star Mark Knight, but the opponent's figure disappeared into thin air, causing the attack to miss.
"Teleport!"
You Zhi immediately realized the difficulty of this reasonable Mecha Knight. The level value was secondary. The most important thing was that the opponent could use all the moves of the previous seven Mecha Knights.
The next moment, the Star Mark Knight appeared in front of Eve. Without waiting for the other party to resist, he used his telekinesis to control him and summoned vines to wrap him tightly.
"Let my sister go!"
Ningjiersu shouted angrily and stabbed the other party's head with his gun.
The Knight of the Star Mark Realm swung his double blades to seal the gun body, and at the same time the prism behind him burst into light, and the rushing electric current spread along the weapons of both sides. Ning Jiersu felt his body numb, and he was no longer able to move, and fell to his knees uncontrollably.
"Let go of Eve!"
Oram and Imduk rushed over immediately, but the Star Mark Knight of the World of Odds just waved his arm armor, and the surrounding ground suddenly bulged, blocking the way of the man and the dragon.
After Oram and Imduk broke through the stone wall, they found that the enemy and Eve were nowhere to be found, so they hurriedly split up to look for them.
"D-Damn it!"
Ningjiersu supported his spear with both hands and was about to stand up to chase, but his body was still numb and he fell down halfway.
Oram, Imduk and Liz searched around but found nothing.
You Zhi helped Alyssa to the anxious crowd and said, "Everyone calm down first."
Ning Jiersu said angrily: "Eve has been captured by the enemy and her life is in danger at any time. How can I stay calm at this time!"
Oram also said, "We must find Eve as soon as possible."
"If you can't calm down, let me calm you down for you. Use your brains and think about it. If the other party intended to harm Eve, they would have just killed her. Why did they have to capture her? This proves that they have other intentions. Eve should be safe now."
If the enemy is a group of bandits, you might have to worry about issues like chastity, but they are just a group of mechanical life forms and have no such needs at all.
"What does the other party want?"
"Eve is your sister and childhood sweetheart. You should know better than an outsider like me what she has that is worthy of the Machine World Knights' covetousness."
Ningirsu and Oram looked at each other, both having guesses in their minds, but not speaking them out loud.
"Even so, we don't have time to relax. We must rescue them as soon as possible."
Ningjiersu endured the numbness and struggled to stand up.
You Zhi said slowly, "There's really no time for leisure. Right now, we need to do three things: rest and recover our spiritual energy as quickly as possible, find the lair of the Machine World Knights, and gather star power to increase our strength. With your wisdom, you should understand that this is the most efficient rescue plan."
"……you're right."
If it wasn't his sister who was kidnapped, Ning Jiersu would have thought of this. Now that he was reminded of this, he immediately understood that this was the most correct thing to do, and he could only force himself to calm down.
"How are we going to find the Machine World Knight's lair? We can't just run around and try our luck, right?"
"Well... I think I might know where the Mecha Knights' base is," Liz said hesitantly. "I can't guarantee it's 100% accurate, but based on the traces of spiritual energy left behind, I can roughly pinpoint their location, assuming they're not deliberately deceiving me."
Chapter 72: The Induction Between Evil Hearts
Although Liz herself was not very confident, there was no better choice for everyone at the moment and they could only try their best.
However, after Ningjiersu and Oram learned the location, they did not rush to rescue people immediately. After calming down, they knew that the advice given by Youzhi before was the most correct approach.
In their current state, they rushed into the enemy's lair. Are they worried that Eve would feel lonely as a hostage?
That night, everyone simply found a clean place nearby to rest.
Unfortunately, Alyssa developed a high fever, not only because of the backlash of the six-star spiritual power, but also because of the accumulated fatigue from traveling for some time. The long battle during the day made her physically and mentally exhausted.
If Eve were still alive, she would undoubtedly be the most suitable person to take care of people. However, she was kidnapped. Oram and Ningirsu felt it was inconvenient, so this task fell on Youzhi... the elf.
The silent magician brought a bucket of water from the nearby river, helped Alyssa wipe her body, and cooked a pot of soup. He tore the dry food that looked like steamed buns into pieces and put them into the soup, making it into a paste and fed it to Alyssa.
She has already become very skilled in taking care of people.
You Zhicai would never force himself to do something he is not good at. He is not a sex-crazed ghost. He is thinking of triggering an ambiguous incident to take advantage of others in the wilderness. Hasn't he touched a woman in his previous life?
As a qualified trainer, the most important thing to do at this time is to be considerate of his subordinates, so he summoned all the Pokémon, comforted them, and then conducted a fair draw. In the end, the lucky one, the Lizardman Yihao, was qualified to be on duty.
That night, a group of wounded and sick soldiers licked their wounds silently, and the air was filled with an atmosphere of mourning.
You Zhi was completely unaffected by the atmosphere and practiced the strong and weak mimicry without a care in the world. Until the next morning, when he was about to take back the Pokémon Card from the Demon Lizard Yihao who had been guarding him diligently all night, the other party said that he had something to say.
“Hiss~hiss…hiss!”
"I don't understand what you are saying at all."
Youzhi quickly summoned the girl to act as an interpreter.
"It, it means... that fairy named Liz... has an evil heart... It can sense it."
"Evil heart?" You Zhi touched his chin and smiled playfully, "This is getting interesting."
He is not a character in melodramatic movies and TV dramas whose IQ is forcibly lowered in order to advance the plot. He clearly gets the clues but still uses "Maybe I saw it wrong" or "Maybe it's just my illusion" to fool the audience.
Since the Demon Lizard Yihao feels that Liz has an evil heart, there must be something wrong with her, otherwise what else?
You can't trust an outsider and question the abilities of your own subordinates, right?
Besides, the fact that the Demon Lizard Yihao possesses an evil heart has been jointly certified by the plug-in and the Panlong of the Tianwei Realm. Although it has improved its control after Youzhi's special training and is no longer manipulated by the evil heart, it can use this to sense the existence of its own kind, which is really reasonable.
"It seems I'm stuck in the traditional mindset of Brave vs. Demon King. I subconsciously thought Liz was just an explanatory NPC guiding the protagonist. Now it seems there's a chance she could be the villain or even the final boss."
Before, You Zhi treated Liz as a positive character and subconsciously trusted her. Now he became suspicious. Looking back at her words and deeds, he immediately realized the hidden dangers.
Did Liz do anything when she distributed the star power to the protagonists?
Imduk only absorbed less than one-third of the Star Armor's star power. Was the remaining star power really wasted, or was it absorbed by her?
She claimed that she was framed by the Machine World Knight and was sealed away. Since she is the villain, doesn't the Machine World Knight become the righteous character?
Judging from the various actions of the Machine Knights, apart from ordering the Machine Monsters to destroy human villages and buildings, they don't seem to have done anything inhumane or unforgivable. Do they have other reasons?
"The story has suddenly become interesting. I thought it was just another clichéd story of a brave man overthrowing the demon king, but now it seems there are a lot of hidden plots worth exploring."
You Zhi took back the demon lizard Yihao and the girl, then acted as if nothing had happened, reunited with everyone and set off on his journey.
Expose Liz?
Not to mention that he has no evidence in his hands, only the testimony of the Demon Lizard Yihao, and everyone still has to rely on Lisa to lead the way to find the lair of the Machine World Knight.
Just because he believed in his men didn't mean others would believe him. Even if he produced evidence, Ningirsu and Oram might choose to defend him in order to get Eve back.
Most importantly, it's just too boring.
Youzhi is the kind of person who, even when using a modifier to play a single-player game, will try to control the extent of the modification as much as possible to ensure that the gameplay is not affected.
He enjoys the process more than the result. It is unreasonable to clear the game before the plot reaches its climax. If he were a player, he would definitely curse.
"Will it be too tiring to carry me like this? How about summoning a spirit to carry me?"
