Comprehensive: Beginning with the Killer Queen

Chapter 436: Humans evolved behind my back?

Under the cold moonlight, the lifeless steel building seemed to be covered with a veil.

But this hazy light only makes the shadows appear layered, making the darkness in the distance seem even more creepy.

Amid the floating and sinking shadows, even the hissing of the wind seemed to come from underground.

Stiyl subconsciously hugged his windbreaker tighter and grunted.

"We are almost close to the core area... Let's stop here."

After entering the territory of Blue Dream Company, he acted separately from Kamisaki Kaori.

In this hostage-taking battle, his physical fitness was completely unable to keep up with that of the saint Kamijou Kaori, and acting together would only slow down the opponent.

Furthermore, considering the powerful destructive power of the magic he is good at, acting alone will allow Stiyl to be more carefree.

So, under the premise that it would be discovered no matter what.

The strategy of having him create a commotion to attract attention while Kamisaki Kaori took the opportunity to find Index was temporarily decided.

“Flames…”

Steele threw away the still warm cigarette butt in his hand and waved his arms casually.

The next moment, scorching flames leaped up around him, overflowing, and as they rolled, they transformed into a flaming sword held in his hand.

"Next, all we have to do is make some noise..."

Although he did not really want to attack Blue Dream Company, Steele did not enter the building where important information might be stored.

But this level of commotion was enough to attract the attention of the surrounding people.

Thinking of this, Stiyl raised the flaming sword in his hand and swung it while chanting.

The flaming sword beams tore through the night sky one after another and shot out.

however--

"Beep, attack intention detected, an unauthorized intruder appears in the second area, it is determined to have a level 1 force, please provide support immediately."

Almost at the same time, huge waves swept in.

In the dark night, the terrifying iron bird flew through the cold night wind and extinguished all the flames in an instant.

Then, they all turned their heads at the same time and looked at the stunned Stiyl.

"There's obviously no barrier, but the reaction is so fast?"

Stiyl suddenly turned around and looked at the mechanical ball that appeared beside him at some point, his face changed.

He wasn't worried about encountering an enemy, but his mission to create a commotion ended before it even began.

Looking at the embers that were extinguished before they could spread, Stiyl frowned slightly.

If a group of bandits broke into the palace and started burning, killing and looting at will, the situation would become chaotic and most of the manpower would rush to the attacked area to provide support.

But if a thief breaks in and his tracks are discovered, all areas will be put under martial law and blocked off while guards are on duty.

Obviously, if the two strange iron birds blocking their way cannot be quickly dealt with, more pressure will be concentrated on Kamiya Kaori who rushes inside, causing unpredictable deviations from the original plan.

So, Steele changed his strategy.

"In that case, while I turn this place into a sea of ​​fire, I will blow up both of you pieces of scrap metal!"

He threw the flaming sword in his hand without hesitation, turning it into a red lotus-like barrier that blocked the view.

But the two iron birds just slightly turned their bodies and easily used their wings to tear apart the fire curtain that was enough to easily turn humans into charcoal in an instant.

They opened their huge mouths and pounced on Stiyl, as if they wanted to capture him alive.

But even so, Stiyl's feet seemed to be glued to the floor, not moving at all.

"Huhuhu..."

Countless cards like white snow flew out from his sleeves, intertwining with each other and making strange noises.

The next moment, faint azure lights lit up one after another like fireflies in the forest at night. In just a blink of an eye, the area of ​​​​the light spread all over the road.

——The light that was radiating was the rune engraved on the card.

Rune.

They are responding to Stiyl's will, emitting mysterious and huge energy fluctuations.

"Show yourself, and devour my body to serve me! - Hunt the Witch King!"

In an instant, the card in front of Stiyl suddenly expanded, like a volcanic eruption, splashing red color in the air.

The flames burned and danced wildly, merging together in a flash and contracting like a beating heart.

A violent gust of air spread out, accompanied by a shrill howl. A huge fire giant suddenly stood in front of Stiyl, and with two heavy blows, one in each hand, he hit the oncoming iron bird, forcing it to fall backwards.

"Not fighting an unprepared battle is one of my habits as a magician."

Stiyl gave a sinister smile as he looked at the two iron birds that were pinned to the ground by the fire giant's hands as he rushed over.

When he entered the street, he deliberately slowed down and moved forward while arranging rune cards.

Although this was because he was frightened by the legend told by Tsuchimikado Motoharu that if caught, one would be reborn, this strategy was made out of fear and caution in his heart.

But judging from the results, this fear does bring value.

Stiyl slowly stood up and looked at his strongest trump card.

Hunt the Witch King.

A giant made of a huge sphere of fire with a temperature of over three thousand degrees Celsius.

As long as conditions permit, it can effortlessly slaughter modern legions in a short period of time and turn a solid fortress into a sea of ​​fire.

In fact, that’s what it’s doing now.

Even if he stood still, the red light emanating from the fire giant had already cut through the surrounding steel and then melted the remains.

The fire giant roared like a dragon, sending dazzling red light flowing along the spider-web-like ravines beneath his body.

Although the only source of fire was the surrounding green belt, in the face of this unquenchable monster, the red wave still rushed out like a waterfall, turning everything nearby into cracks like wasteland.

"That's about right, I guess."

Stiyl looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction, and glanced at the iron bird that had just appeared above the illuminated night sky with a gleam of brilliance in his eyes.

Such a commotion might not only affect the Blue Dream Company's territory, but even Academy City might have to react.

But we can't keep going on like this, the big sister has probably already dealt with it, we need to quickly meet up with her and support her.

"Hunting the Witch King, get rid of these two pieces of scrap metal."

Lighting another cigarette, Stiyl waved his hand casually, signaling his familiar to quickly deal with the two iron birds that were pressed under him so that he could escape quickly.

"Kakakaka!!!"

Hearing his master's order, the fire giant roared madly again.

Then, a creepy cracking sound was heard.

However, it did not come from the iron bird under the fire giant, but from the arm it was clamping. The cracks looked very thin and long at first, but as the force continued to be exerted, the cracks were extending at a speed visible to the naked eye while the lightning-like red light suddenly appeared, making the huge black and red arm look as fragile as a glued vase.

"how is this possible?"

Stiyl's already sinister expression became even more gloomy.

The Witch Hunting King is a fire monster with a physical body. With its huge size, its pure physical attacks alone have terrifying power.

What's more, it is a monster that maintains a temperature of over 3,000 degrees Celsius at all times.

Although this number may seem insignificant, it is actually enough to vaporize most of the matter on the planet at such a sustained temperature.

In other worlds, even the high-temperature monsters fighting against the super-ancient giant of light have a body temperature of this level.

Even if it is a specially made mechanical beast, it can only resist for a while at best. The metal of the outer shell will slowly be corroded away, and finally its core will be melted directly.

But in front of Stiyl, the fire giant's hands suddenly froze when they reached into the metal shell of the iron bird and touched the core.

With its temperature, it seems unable to interfere with the core in the slightest.

No, when it touched the core, its power was actually decomposed!

"Power exceeding level one is detected. Restrictions are lifted. Voltage blocker is activated."

Staring at this scene, even though Stiyl was not affected by the high temperature, a trace of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

As the cold mechanical voice sounded, the iron bird that was suppressed by the fire giant was using strange light to suppress the enemy little by little!

Judging from the cracks on the fire giant's body, in a while it would be the one that was suppressing the enemy that would collapse.

“Has the technology on the technology side advanced to this extent?”

Stiyl frowned hard and spoke in a low voice.

He was not worried that the destruction of the ace would affect his own safety, but these two iron birds, which were obviously mass-produced, caused him to feel even more wary.

"No, if such a weapon could be popularized, Academy City would probably have been unable to restrain its ambitions long ago. It should just be a product that is difficult to replicate, or produced by chance, and in limited quantities..."

Stiyl was just talking to himself and didn't expect to get an answer.

——But the answer appeared.

"Isn't that natural?"

A strange and magnetic voice, with a malicious and joyful tone, suddenly sounded behind his ear.

The expression on Stiyl's face suddenly froze, and he turned his neck stiffly, looking at the smiling black-haired, red-eyed boy behind him.

When did he appear and why didn't I notice it at all?

"After all, I'm the only one in charge of the production line. Although I can use existing metals to mass-produce unimportant parts, the real core still has to be made by me."

But the young man didn't want to pay any attention to him. He walked calmly to the huge fire giant and the iron bird under it, as if he didn't care at all about the high temperature that was enough to melt gold and iron.

"I'm not here to fix screws in Academy City. Although I patiently built a little, it's just enough to be used."

"Although the core can stimulate a certain amount of magnetic field power, when the order is to capture alive, facing a truly powerful person, these sub-flies will often be sluggish and unable to exert their true strength. Should we lift the restrictions?"

"Well, wouldn't the Rebirth Pool be left empty in this way? And we'd have to find other materials for the experiment..."

He looked at the suppressed iron bird and spoke in a familiar voice as if he was complaining to a good friend.

"Who are you?" For the first time, a serious expression appeared on Stiyl's face.

"Roland, the leader of Blue Dream Company."

Roland turned his head and looked at Stiyl with some dissatisfaction.

"Once Yafei is damaged, those kids will complain to me again, but I have no resistance to pillow talk, so I will be the one to work hard on the core."

"So, how are you going to compensate me for my loss as a thief who broke into someone else's house without permission?"

"Hmph..." Stiyl seemed to have calmed down. "Such a relaxed attitude, does that mean you are sure you can handle me?"

"In that case, prove it to me first before we talk about compensation!"

Stiyl waved his hands, and then the scorching red color spread out like an overwhelming force.

The body of the Witch Hunting King continued to expand, and the flames shot straight into the sky, as if he was about to self-destruct.

"Fortis931, here's why I'm the strongest."

Without hesitation, he recited the name of the magic spell that declared a fight to the death.

Although I don’t know how Roland appeared, I don’t know whether I have a chance of winning.

But since there is no way to resolve it peacefully, he must complete the mission until Kanzaki Kaori finds Index.

Stiyl's eyes were fixed on Roland, his back slightly arched, and all the nerves in his body felt an annoying tingling sensation due to the massive amount of magic power being converted.

But now, this pain can be transformed into his anger.

"Don't be too arrogant!"

He roared, causing the Witch Hunting King's body to swell.

Although judging from the fact that the other party just approached him quietly, keeping a distance might be the more rational choice.

But Steele, who had experienced countless battles, knew that when the enemy was unknown, it was better to do everything he could instead of making random guesses.

Most of his strength relies on hunting the Witch King, and it can even be said that he is the opponent's pendant.

It would be foolish to leave the other party's protection range without permission.

"boom--"

The wandering red flames suddenly turned into a storm and gathered like a tide.

The bright flames were like a huge wave rising from the ground, bursting out with the momentum to completely destroy everything around it.

But the ones who bore the brunt of the attack were not the two suppressed iron birds, but Roland, who was attacked by the fire giant with the momentum of dying together before his collapse.

The other party seemed to have not realized what had happened. He turned around calmly and even took a deep breath.

From Steele's perspective, he could see a raging line of fire going straight into the opponent's mouth.

"Uh-huh?!"

Just as Stiyl was about to sneer, his body suddenly shook, and the expression he had just finished writing froze on his face.

His eyes widened as he watched Roland swallow the remaining dissipated flames into his mouth like a rainbow sucking water, and his breathing suddenly stagnated.

"If it is arrogant to underestimate such a weak flame, then I am simply made of arrogance. However, although the temperature is a little low, it is just right for the mouth."

Roland looked at Mars after the Witch Hunter King collapsed with lingering feelings, chuckled softly, and exhaled white smoke.

The condensed smoke floated freely with the boy's breathing. When it touched the remaining metal around, it left behind small pits as if corroded by strong acid, proving that they were not just for show.

Stiyl looked at the scene in astonishment and took a few steps back in horror.

Damn...humans evolved behind my back?
