Hey guys, I like Two-dimensional

"What did you say...!"

While Kotori frowned, the image of the artificial satellite was displayed on the screen.It is a body with solar panels attached to both sides of the quadrangular body. There is some ugly round object mounted on the upper part, and the lower half is hidden in the body.It seems that part acts as a propeller.It was obvious that it was no ordinary artificial satellite.

"Hmm...what is that...!"

Kotori's eyes widened, sweat forming on her cheeks.Do you want to increase the damage caused when you fall, even if you go that far?Or──the other party has seen the presence of 'Fraxinas' in the sky above Tiangong City, and is he on guard against our attack?

In any case, this is undoubtedly not a happy situation for Kotori and others.Kotori knocked on the armrest of the captain's seat and stood up, shouting loudly toward the bottom of the bridge:

"Emergency revised predicted arrival time! How much time is left?"

"...The prediction results are out! Judging...based on this value, we must enter the attack state immediately, otherwise it will be too late!"

"Well...!"

Kotori looked sad.But she immediately thought about it and calmly decided what she had to do now.

"...Chen Ling, the schedule has been disrupted. I don't have time to argue with you. Come back quickly. I'm going to fight now!"

Chen Ling looked at the sky and saw that the man-made satellite was accelerating its fall.

【──Okay, I understand.You should act quickly. 】

After saying that, Chen Ling took the initiative to hang up.

Qin Li looked around him, but after a few seconds, Chen Ling hadn't come back yet.

"Commander... Commander..."

"...That bastard! That's all, there's no time to wait for him, he will come back on his own. The important thing now is to prepare urgently to attack. We must shoot it down!"

"Got...Understood!"

The crew shouted loudly and operated the controls. 'Fraxinas' changed course and headed towards the meeting point.

"......Well."

Kotori gritted her teeth and clenched her fists.

After all, Chen Ling didn't come back right away, he still wanted to find Qi Sin.

Qin Li naturally didn't want the other party to do this, but now she had no time to argue with Chen Ling.

"How willful will that hateful guy be, and how much will he have to worry us before he gives up!?"

"After this incident, I will definitely find a way to punish him!"

Chapter 448 The final trump card——The Eternal Spear!

"──Commander!"

I don’t know how long I had been thinking about it (thinking about what to punish someone afterwards), but Shiizaki’s voice shook Kotori’s eardrums.

"We've arrived at the attack location!"

"The target will pass the designated location in 30 seconds!"

"AR-008's magic power is fully charged! It can be launched at any time!"

The voices of the crew echoed across the bridge.Kotori shook her head as if to get rid of unnecessary distractions and stared at the screen.Then, count down in your mind according to the countdown timer displayed in the corner of the screen, and at the moment when the target happens to enter the screen── shout loudly:

"──[Sword of Silver]! Launch!"

As Kotori shouted, an astonishing torrent of magic power poured out from the cannon port of 'Fraxinas'.

The huge magic block outputted from the large display device mounted on the airship attacks the target displayed in the center of the screen.The timing was perfect.Some of the crew members even made a victory gesture before confirming the defeat.

However-

"what...!"

The next moment, Kotori showed an unbelievable expression and made a sound of panic.

There is no other reason, it's all because - the convergence magic cannon, which was originally heading straight towards the artificial satellite, tilted at the moment it was about to touch the target, only penetrated part of the solar panel and thruster on one side, and then disappeared into the air.

The artificial satellite lost its balance as if it had been deflected by a magic cannon─but it was still attracted by gravity and continued to fall.

"Just...then...what happened?!"

"I'm afraid it's the random field..."

The person who answered Kotori's shout was Kannazuki standing next to the captain's seat.He put his hand on his chin, and his face rarely looked ugly.

No one thought that the other party would actually use the random field!

No, the key is, how does the other party use the random field? !

"You said random field, this, how on earth is this done! That artificial satellite is not..."

Kotori yelled and asked, but before she could finish speaking, she suddenly realized that she had found a strange place on the artificial satellite in the image.

A round object penetrated by the [Sword of Silver].

A familiar face appeared there.

"That's...'the beast'!"

That's right. DEM's mechanical doll 'Phantom Beast-Bondeski', also referred to as 'Beast'.To be precise, it is a doll-like machine that can use the manifestation device to expand any area without using a magician. It is DEM's unmanned weapon.

At this time, such a 'beast' is completely integrated with the artificial satellite.

"I didn't expect that there is such a method!"

Seeing that situation, Kotori understood the outline of the fall of the artificial satellite in an instant.

I'm afraid DEM Company is launching a modified 'beast' from the ground and combining it with the artificial satellite scheduled to be abandoned.

Although man-made satellites travel at an astonishing speed, if it is equipped with a display device, it is indeed possible to connect with it.

Then, if the modified 'beast' is attached to it, it means that you can expand any area on the artificial satellite.

"I see... Is this the reason why the man-made satellite that passed through the atmosphere remained unscathed!"

Kotori smacked her lips resentfully, and then heard the sound of Reine operating the console.

"...The situation is not good. If an artificial satellite of this size can withstand the impact of falling mass, and the highest level of blasting magic possessed by DEM, coupled with the random field enhancement of the modified 'beast'... ..."

After a "click" sound is heard when pressing the keyboard, the value is displayed on the screen.

"Since we don't know the detailed values, we can only calculate approximate values... I'm afraid its power is not inferior to that of nuclear weapons."

"...!"

Hearing these words, Kotori held her breath.

She thought she had anticipated the worst-case scenario - but she didn't expect the situation to go far beyond her expectations.Once this kind of thing falls, the entire Tiangong City will inevitably turn into scorched earth.

However, at this time, Kannazuki was the only one rubbing his chin with a look of embarrassment.

"──How strange."

"what's up?"

"I'm thinking that the random field created by the installation of a manifestation device of the level of the modified 'Beast' is unlikely to deflect the [Silver Sword]'s artillery fire."

"Then... that's not right. In short, the priority is to shoot it down first! Then replenish the magic power! Before the artificial satellite reaches the ground, we must try our best to──!"

In an instant, the hull of 'Fraxinas' suddenly shook violently, and Kotori interrupted her words.

"what is the problem!"

"It's...it's a bombardment! Shrink the random area by 15.00%!"

"You said shelling! Where did it come from!?"

"Play video!"

At the same time as Minawa made a sound, the image in the sky was displayed on the screen.An aerial ship larger than 'Fraxinas' appeared out of nowhere and was floating there.The hull is obviously made of straight lines, but its shape is as complex as an organism, giving off the same eerie feeling as the DEM weapon.

"Is that──DEM Club's battleship?"

"Are you crazy? No, they are crazy! At this time, they actually sniped our artillery fire and deflected our artillery fire."

Kotori gritted her teeth with a look of unwillingness.Obviously, the other party had already expected that it would choose to attack the artificial satellite.

Although the detailed performance of the enemy ship is unknown──but what is certain is that the opponent can create a random field at any place that can deflect the [Silver Sword] gunfire to this extent.As a result, it would be impossible to shoot down the satellite without trying to deal with the enemy ship.Having said that, if the target is moved, the satellite will fall to the ground.

"commander!"

It’s easy to predict that outcome.The crew members' faces were filled with trembling colors and they shouted.

However, Kotori let out a breath with an extremely calm expression, and leaned back deeply on the back of the captain's chair.

"Kannazuki, I leave it to you to use the [Eternal Spear]."

After Kotori finished speaking, everyone twitched their eyebrows.

"...Is it okay? Kotori?"

"Yeah. I don't plan to shoot with all my strength. Besides, I can't get back the recovery ability from Chen Ling yet. After all, if I get the power back, I might go berserk."

After Kotori answered the order like this, she looked at Kannazuki.

"Don't miss it, Kannazuki."

"give it to me."

Kannazuki answered while still standing straight.Kotori nodded with a satisfied look on her face and put her palm on the authentication device attached to the console.

The captain's seat that Kotori was sitting on slid downward as if being sucked in by the floor.

A few seconds later, Kotori, who was sitting on a chair, came to an open place.

It was a circular space with a radius of about three meters.Since the outside situation will be projected on the smooth curved wall in real time, there will even be an illusion of floating in the air.

But now Kotori doesn't have time to leisurely enjoy walking in the sky.She jumped off the captain's seat, stood in the center of the circle, exhaled a long breath to calm herself down.

"Okay, let's begin──my war!"

It feels like a thin thread is being pulled from deep within your consciousness.

Imagine your body is wrapped in burning fire.

Soon, that imagination gradually turned into reality. After the flames swirled around Kotori, it immediately transformed into the dreamy shape of Hagoromo.Then, the flames climbed up Kotori's hair from below - and demonic-like horns appeared on the side of her head.

──Spiritual armor, the absolute armor worn by elves.

Although Qin Li had his spiritual power sealed by Chen Ling in the past, by controlling his mental state, he was able to let the spiritual power flow back from Chen Ling at will.

Having said that, if you want to draw out [-]% power, you will have to bear the risk of your consciousness being swallowed by the power.After ensuring a certain level of spiritual power, you must close the path with your own consciousness and maintain the limited spiritual equipment.

"[Burning Ghost Destroyer (Chamael)]."

After Kotori finished speaking quietly, the flames gathered in her hands and turned into the shape of a giant battle axe.

At that moment, there was an explosion sound somewhere, and the hull shook slightly.

It must have been attacked by that enemy ship.It seems that it is still being defended in a defensive random field, but if it is delayed, 'Fraxinus' may be damaged before the satellite falls.Kotori held up the [Burning Ghost Destroyer] and made a sound at the same time:

"──[Megiddo]!"

The moment he finished speaking, the appearance of [Burning Ghost Destroyer] gradually changed into a cylindrical shape, and was tightly attached to Kotori's arm.It looked like a cannon.The petite Kotori's right hand seemed to be wearing a huge, mismatched cannon port.

At the same time, a device like a huge connector lowered from the front.After Kotori touched it with the tip of [Burning Demon Destroyer], a small electronic sound sounded, and [Burning Demon Destroyer] was tightly connected to the connector.

"I'm about to do it, Kannazuki."

【yes!Always at your disposal. 】

After Kotori finished speaking, Kannazuki's voice came from the loudspeaker.

After confirming, Kotori concentrated on injecting spiritual power into the angel.

That's right.Since the magic convergence cannon [Sword of Silver] will be bounced away, there is only one method left.

That is to attack with stronger power, forcefully break through the interception, and hit the artificial satellite directly!

At this time, what they are about to use is the most powerful ace weapon of 'Fraxinas' - the Elf Spirit Cannon [Eternal Spear].

As the name suggests, it transforms the power of spirits, enhances its power, and releases a blow of absolute destruction. It is the absolute ace weapon of 'Fraxinas'.

──The aftermath of spiritual power splashed around the body like sparks.Kotori showed a sharp gaze and shouted loudly:

"Now! The Elven Spiritual Cannon [Eternal Spear]!"

【shooting! 】
